Hello There

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!

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 ✨

hii! i'm mimi she/her! could i pls have a tarot reading from u on who my first/ future girlfriend is? just like anything about her, when we may meet or how our relationship may be. i have never dated anyone before for context but i have had crushes and heartbreak and things never seem to really go my way romantically.. so i'm really just wanting smth to look forward to :3 tysm in advance 🫶

For what I can tell, the person coming will be a charm, VI The Lovers represent someone who will be very passionate, emotional and heart guided. She can bring a choice into your life, or you'll be a choice in hers. She'll demand great partnership and attention.

I had curiosity to ask what she might work with, II of Pentacles doesn't really clarify if she has a job, but if she does, she's very graceful doing it, she's a joyful person and might not have the greatest stability.

Page of Cups as the advice card offers peace after the turmoil, reconciliation. It's an invite in your relationship to choose the warm heart instead of the cold shoulder. It's an opportunity, and you can turn it down if you feel like it too.

And then there is X of Swords, it suggests the relationship may end abruptly, but you'll have learned, grown, after all. It may also mean the end of a destructive cycle.

I wish you lots of luck and wisdom in your journey 😉✨

Heyy guys! Sorry for my formal disappearance, life's been a total rush!

I've been fighting my own crossroad these past weeks in the pursue of achieving my dream job (and getting money to pay the bills).

To those who don't know, outside my witchcraft I'm a full time freelancer illustrator, but freelancing hasn't been working for me anymore so I've been looking for a full time art job. Not an easier quest as I have no experience in a team or in a studio and I hardly come across job opportunities for junior artists that require no experience.

The past month or so I've been working really hard towards building a solid portfolio for character design and property art, my two areas of interest and that's the reason I've been super away lately

I swear at least twice a week I promise myself to draw cards the next day and I just can't because rushing to get stuff done takes all the time, like right now I'm getting some pieces of portfolio done to apply for a great opportunity that I found out about and 24 hours is no longer enough for a day!!

To those who submitted questions for the tarot, I read them and I'm sorry I cannot give you the attention you deserve like I used to bc capitalism is after my very ass, but I do want to be more active here again as well as start practicing with Minor Arcana cards (literally shaffled my deck yesterday trying to come out with something but my brain is literally acting like an old laptop trying to run a game on ultra graphics)

I hope you guys can be patient with me and also maybe send some positive vibes, I really want that job, and if you want to check out my art is over at @undinoble (my main blog)

May the Gods bless the rest of your week 💜✨

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!

How do I let go my own restrictions I place upon myself? Thank you! N.V.W.

I think the answer revolves around the V - Hierophant, the time has come to seek knowledge about everything that surrounds you, about yourself to understand deeply the roots of said restrictions. Could it be morals? Or religion? I've once found myself caged by limiting believes, and deep diving into books and other people's experiences, different experiences, have helped me greatly to find inner freedom. The Hierophant talks about it all, looking for guidance, faith, morality.

The ones around it further deepens it's meaning, II of Swords shows how you might be turning a blind eye to some aspect of your life or yourself (and it's not the only card pointing that), you might have trouble accepting different points of view, but the path will keep blocked until you try.

VIII of Swords shows your surroundings, even if scary, are not as rough as it may appear, are not your biggest obstacle, your mind might be your toughest opponent, levelling up your internal crisis will be key.

V of Wands, along with Hierophant, advices you to seek teamwork, people can help you put those wands in order and clean the inner mess, being it friends or professionals, don't hesitate. You'll have to work hard, it's a long way but the fruits you harvest will be all the sweeter.

At least, IX of Cups is, what I assume, your goal. People don't question their restrains if not to let go of them and live a fuller life, and this card is about enjoying pleasure without guilt. It also means victory. You'll succeed in your journey.

I wish luck on your path, may the Gods light your way 💜✨

Aphrodite's ring

Besides my deep interest and devotion to Hekate, I'm very fortunate to say I've felt the influences of other Gods and deities like Aphrodite Herself.

I remember clear as day, when I was around 16 years old, one saturday after my english class I was returning home on my own, it was around midday and I'd been highly curious about Aphrodite that very week, it's also worth mentioning I'd been studying lots of Greek mythologies (Percy Jackson and so on) at that time so the connection wasn't out of the blue.

The route I walked towards the bus stop have lots of different stores and boutiques in a very long avenue, and under the bright hot sun I was feeling unusually beautiful. I decided to stop by a bijou shop and started looking through the rings, one stood out to me that resembled a bay leaf crown. That specific ring was the only one of its kind on the store, and I have very slender fingers as you can see, however the ring fits like a glove.

I didn't think twice before buying it, the ring felt like it was made for me, like a gift from above. To this day I consider this ring a gift from Aphrodite, the Goddess I was greatly connected at that time, and every time I feel pretty or I feel like some confidence can help me, I always have it on hand and my self esteem go up by the hundreds.

I am always happy and even proud to have the opportunity to feel and receive so many blessings, Hekate has given me more gifts than I can count (not only materially), and this Aphrodite's ring is also one that sits very close to my heart ❤️

Relationship advice

Either if you're single or in a relationship, think about your situation, choose a card and allow the Major Arcana bring an advice into your life.

Results

Spiral Shell: XVII - The Star

In a relationship, this card points towards the beauty, pure and dreaming side of your relation, maybe yours or your partner. Have this as an invite to bring more inspiration and creativity to your relationship, be free to make plans together, to let your routine aside for once.

If you're single, this is a very positive card pointing someone great might be on your way, quite the good omen, don't stop dreaming of someone with good intentions.

Lapis Lazulli: XXI - The World

The circle on this cards represents its wholeness, maybe it's time to stop and admire all the way you've come along with your partner, nurture and cherish your relationship. If you are not quite there yet, great time to meditate and ask yourself: What's blocking your relationship from being whole?

If you don't have a partner and specially if you just got out of a relationship, the World represents also closing the older cycle in order for a new journey to begin, remember both your rights and wrongs so you can do better on your next adventure.

Moon Stone: XI - The Strength

This card is a great advise for any stage of a relationship, the Strength reminds you that no matter if the sun is shining or the storm is thundering, be like this lion, who could so easily break apart the rose in his mouth, but his self control and focus keep it safe in a gentle manner. If your relationship is not the greatest right now, practice handling things with patience and gentleness, it'll be easier for both parts.

Also practice your calm and self control if you're single, learn to hold your own roses with delicacy before harvesting someone else's, or else you might ruin a garden or have your own garden ruined.
