Sometimes I Think My Tarot Can Be Mean To You Guys In Your Questions, Then I Realize It's Way Meaner

Greetings! ✨

My name is Latoya, I'm a natural witch, Hekate's devotee and Tarot student.

In this blog will find both my experience with Paganism, Witchcraft and Tarot.

I'm not a beginner anymore, but working a full-time job gets in the way of practicing as my readings take time, at the moment I'm familiar with Major Arcana and I'm getting deeper into Minor Arcana.

As an Hekatean devotee, here I post about my journey in paganism, my experiences and thoughts that might be helpful to other witches out there.

I have the torches and the key in hand, may the Dark Queen protect me and light my path through the crossroads.

First step towards true learning of the tarot art

I never had a physical notebook to really commit to a grimoire, book of shadows of any sort because I've always been apprehensive of my mom finding out (maybe drawing a pentacle on this one's cover might not have been my greatest idea), however I feel it's time to start taking notes on my journey, not only about tarot but in general

Let's see for how long I can keep the decent calligraphy though

Hi there!

I'd love a romantic reading for me and Grey?

My emojis: ♉😶‍🌫️🪽🫶🧚‍♀️🌈

His: ♎⚖️🪽🤍✒️🩶

- Megara

In this reading I can say you take Gray very seriously, you're committed to them, even thinking about marriage, while Gray is facing their own turmoils, not that serious, just changes and growth life throws our way, this changes can and most likely will lead to improvements, they might need some time to assimilate it though.

The middle card is a warning, whatever is the issue you think there is between the two of you, is likely easier to solve or address than you think. Put into perspective, is it something external? Out of your control? Most probably not. Also it's indicative not to hide aspects of yourselves from one another.

Wishing the best for the two of you, may the Gods bless you ✨

Hi Latoya! I’m S <3 I was wondering if I could have a reading on my future spouse/future relationships? Sorry if these questions get repetitive :(

I meet a lot of people but feel so disconnected from romance and dating, like the situation or person is never right. I’d like to know what my future partner would be like, maybe in personality or their feelings towards me, and if there is any advice for me to make this work?

XIV - Temperance

This card represents balance between opposites, it's very likely you'll meet someone who feels totally different from you, but you'll make it work, getting the best from the other and learning to deal with your flaws.

One great assurance the Temperance can give is that everything happens at the right time, you felt it yourself, the right one shall come exactly at the right time and you should be ready to welcome this new love.

For now, practice yourself bringing more harmony into your life, fix what's messy, either your business, spiritual or personal life, when you least expect things will start happening.

May I say this reblog made my day, it's really incredible to read other's experiences 🧡 so I feel the need to share a little update!

The left pic is more or less the day I collected the small offering from the original post (september 11th 2023).

The right pic is the very same rosemary, today (may 4th 2024), and look how beautifully it has grown every since, it's been strong and healthy and gives me absolute no worries, not to mention its scent is absurdly delicious, it is truly blessed.

And also today, I've decided it was about time to give it a well deserved trim, and of course it was time for a gratitude offering.

First of all I chose a size for the plant to be wholly trimmed, and of course the first branch would be in Her honor. It makes me so happy to see how far both my plant and I have come and to be able to offer a piece of our growth with the one that is always looking out for us, one branch at a time 💚💚💚

And here's the plant after trim, I matched the previous taller branches to the shorter ones that will hopefully grow newer ones soon 🌿

Heya Hekate!

Small offerings are enough ✨

A while ago I got a small to medium rosemary plant, I've been feeling like caring for plants. I have special interest for the ones I can do infusions and curing, prefer aromatic and ornamental plants rather than flowers, but the most important of all, I was trying keep the plant alive because unlike my mom, I do not have that green thumb (and she'd take over in case the plant started getting ill)

The first sprout I harvested would be offered to Hekate, as it was Her the responsible for my awakening, so I left it by my altar to dry.

Once considerably dry I burned it in Her honor, along with music that chanted Her name, expressing my gratitude for so many blessings in a very personal and warm moment.

Where I live, with my parents I'm unable to follow certain traditional rites to their core. The best place to contact Hekate is on crossroads, where people leave their tributes or the leftovers of their crafts (with ecological consciousness). At the moment I can't really go in and out bringing offerings, so I fight with the weapons I have available.

But how do I know the offering was successful, that it was received and pleased Lady Hekate like I intended to?

First of all, putting your intention, wherever you are, will be the fuel the offering needs to achieve its destiny. Second, you will feel that not only said offering completed its course but also that it pleased (or not) the deity you want to contact.

As I've read on an older Hekatean devotee's testimony, Hekate is a subtle Goddess, her signs are deep and not at all noisy.

For me, the message came as an incredible sense of peace, happiness and realization, that small moment of connection made me feel like that's what I was born to do, how I wished to have awakened earlier in life as at the same time I'm grateful for having the opportunity to experience it now.

Rosemary is not Hekate's favorite herb, but it is my favorite, and what feels more special than being offered something that another person loves and desires to share with you? I think the Gods feel the same way, if your offer is filled with gratitude, positiveness, respect and strong intentions, it'll be appreciated.

Heya Hekate!

Today I went looking for a gift for a dear friend and I went straight to a xamanic store, not only got the gift but got myself this selenite, got to look at beautiful statues that now I desperately want to purchase and, for the first time, during a conversation, said out loud that I'm an Hekatean devotee. I returned home kicking my feet and giggling like a little girl who just got her first public speech successfully.

Well now I need money not only to pay bills but also to be buying magical artifacts, unfortunately in my house I don't think I could get away with displaying a 40cm Hekate statue in my room, so that'll be a future addiction (hopefully)

For now I'm grateful for the baby steps I could achieve!

Just realized my asks were closed, I'm sorry!!!

It's open now, please feel free to send your questions!

Guess who's back??

The time for me to get the traditional Waite-Smith tarot and I LOVE it already, not to mention other two oracles I'm sure will be awesome to make weekly advice readings!

So, I'll be reopening free readings and hopefully be able to open paid more insightful readings, but all in due time.

I took some time off to dedicate to my work, I'm a freelancer digital artist to those who don't know, and now that things are finally working out I feel like it's time to fit tarot back into my life.

My ask box is open, feel free to seek for advice ✨

Get your tarot reading PLUS one free question PLUS your free oracle reading that I give for every order! 🪽 wanna save cash for a healing course 🥺🥺

Hello there, I am CM!

What is my future spouse's most defining trait?

Thank you for doing this!

VIII - Justice

This card is exactly what it seems, Justice represents strong ideals, people true to their morals and integrity, the Justice's person is very loyal to the truth, objective and someone who deals with decisions with their most rational side. The Justice walks along great honesty, this person know actions are followed by consequences.

Tarot, in my learnings, is more of a mirror to the soul than it is a future telling tool, I honestly cannot describe your future spouse's qualities and flaws so precisely, but I can tell that you admire people who's got the Justice's traits, either because is complementary if you're an emotional person, or because you also have a more rational side yourself, so it's more likely, in the future, you'll look forward for someone that fit these preferences of yours.

I wish you luck in your journey Aqua 💜

Hi Latoya!

Can I ask a question for the cards?

I'm starting university soon and I wonder what my classmates will think of me.

Thanks.

Hello P!

I can say they will have a good impression. Some will see you as a passionate soul, brave and bold spirited like the Page of Wands, guided by the element Fire, they'll see the vibrance.

Their biggest impression will surely be your focus and never ending resilience, even a little hasty, hurried to get to the final line, an unstoppable force much like VII The Chariot, someone who can easily get around problems.

Be warned though, not to let the environment blind you, niversity can be an overwhelming experience. If someone tells you to stop overworking, they might be seeing a lost person who's having trouble to manage everything, tired and overworked, a X of Wands.

An advice, if you will, from the King of Swords, you'll need to be methodical about it, remember to take a step back and look around, ground yourself in order not to lose perspective. Keep your perception sharp, being able to analyze a situation from all angles will be of great help, it includes not being too dependent of stranger's opinions.

I whish you luck on your new journey, may it be filled with blessings ✨
