So Excited - So Little Time

Good morning friends! I’m so thrilled to find a platform that isn’t run by any well…ya know. And all of us in one place sharing info beats scattered all over social media any day of the week. I’ve already posted and found some incredibly useful info. I’m interested in tarot and oracle card spreads and I’m teaching myself about them by attempting to do near-nightly spreads and studying the meaning of each card. It’s been crazy how each card and spread has been so relevant to me.

I’m also trying to learn about moon water since I collected almost a gallon of rainwater one night last week. Plan on filtering the debris out and storing it in mason jars.

I am heavily into crystals and use them intuitively in rituals or carry a couple in my pocket that feel relevant to the day. I had a gorgeous blue onyx that was my go-to and of course it fell out somewhere. I absolutely adore the energy they add to anything, even just seeing them sitting in their bowl surrounded by selenite makes me happy.
Let’s see…I became interested because my daughter drew me some sigils to heal my brain and mental health, and pain issues. They were gorgeous but I couldn’t recreate them so I decided to learn how to make my own. All the ones explaining symbolism and how to add it in kinda blow my mind so I use a very simple number matrix and I’m always blown away at how the sigil clearly reflects the path of whatever I’m drawing. For instance, I did a simple one: “HEAL BRAIN,” and the starting point and dips and rises really reflected when it was at its worst and when it began to lessen. I like to draw these types directly on my skin. I also have a sigil at the bottom of my ashtray dedicated to my abusive ex husband along with a self-renewing curse that continues until the paper no longer exists. It’s mostly sealed with black wax so it’ll last for a while.
I’m also really drawn to the moon and water, as a Cancer girl -Happy Birthday me!! My next project will be delving into moon spells. I also want to learn how to work with deities but have NO idea how to do that. I feel drawn to Hecate but maybe because she’s just so popular. I’m very interested in getting into baneful magic eventually. I’d love to hear about your journey to working with a chosen deity/deities.

Thanks for welcoming me,

A New Friend

Anyway, I’m thrilled to be here, I’m not a Wiccan, I welcome any questions or concerns or polite comments/constructive criticism.

Merry Meet! Hekate or Hecate would be a great start to work with since she is best for guiding through the unknown & when you are seeking transformation within yourself & your life. Look into The Morrigan as well she would be another good option. She is a Celtic goddess of war, sovereignty, prophecy, fate, death. Lilith is also a great option for she represents independence, shadow integration, feminine power, emotional truth and the refusal to submit to false versions of the self. She is a symbol of unapologetic strength, righteous rage, and self-sovereignty.
Since you are a lover of crystals & stones such as myself be sure to add Black Obsidian, any type of Moonstone you feel drawn too especially Rainbow Moonstone, Labradorite, Smoky Quartz, & Black Tourmaline to your collection especially when working with these types of deities.

Welcome to the Forum!

If you do decide to work with Lilith (Whom I call Adama) check out the thread with Her name.

Terrific Tuesday Exploding,

Welcome to our pack :wolf:!! Please join my Tarot Tribute. Look back at the month, I have done an introduction to the cards. I posted some easy spreads this week. I do daily pulls, since you are doing daily already, please add your voice and opinions to the rest of the group.

I am so glad that sigils are working for you!! I have not started with that yet, I cannot even draw. I am afraid that my anxiousness at drawing it would distract from the intention I should be putting into it.

Your crystals sound wonderful, I have always loved and collected rocks!!

As for god/desses to work with. I suggest studying what interests you. I prefer, Mesopotamian, Egyptian, Native American god/desses. I looked and studied and tried out different deities until I found the ones that worked for me. I had to return to some of the goddesses during my trial period, but I found the ones who work for me. I tend to see that many people choose what are thought of as the basic god/desses of witchcraft, but the Craft is highly personal. Wicca tends to prescribe deities. Do what feels right for you!!!

You can also have more than one. Example, I will give you mine.

Air–Athena for the Wisdom, Sila (Inuit) for the wind/air, and Nut (Egyptian) for the sky (I use Nut, when thanking how beautiful the sky looks, sunrise, sunset, beautiful cloud formations…)

Fire–This one took me a while, but I have settled on Brigid. For some reason, when I tried to use others (honestly, I just never liked the name Brigid, Brigit, so on, so I tried others, but no, went back to Brigid and everything is working out fine. “How did you know?” you ask. When I was using Brigid, things related to Fire or her worked out. When I changed the name, nothing was going right.

Water–Danu, and Tiamat (Mesopotamiam, water, primordial sea), I ask Tiamat to help me with control through the chaos.

Earth–I have several who I have grouped together for supplications, but go to independently depending on what I am focusing on. I use Spider Grandmother (Native American), Keya (Native American (Grandmother Earth) this is represented by a turtle with the world on the back.

Spirit–Psyche (Greek) for many reasons, she descended and arose, she had a transformation. I use her for my Spirit, Eather, consciousness.

I hope this helps a little.

Brigid & Athena are also very good to work with I agree. Odin is a great God to work with as well to help us gain the wisdom we seek :100:
