I’ve picked up my Grimoire again and begun developing my Tarot section, (which is going to be huge and very time consuming but I am SO excited!)
Please feel free to use these pages as a guide in your own practices or as inspiration for your own BOS or Grimoire :) All I ask is that if you wish to recreate my design or wording, please credit in the description of your post!! Thank you
✨Pages in my Grimoire on Tarot ✨
These pages begin my Tarot study on the symbols associated with the Major Arcana, the 4 Suites and associated zodiacs/meanings, the court cards and what they represent in meanings, numerology and their associated majors, and lastly color symbolism. this is basically all I need to do intuitive readings with the tarot!!
The next chunk of this will be meanings for each of the major arcana, based off of my own practices and what i’ve learned about their symbols.
*Smudging is a ritual from a closed practice, please research this before buying that shell, feather, and sage bundle from 5below… stay aware!
Alternatives to smudging: smoke cleansing (literally just get incense cones or sticks!), sound cleansing (get a bell or play cleansing frequencies), deep cleaning (vacuum, open the windows, wipe everything down), and your words (declaring your space sacred & protected)!
*Support your local crystal shops, farmers markets (if the season permits), and don’t be afraid to askquestions: such as, where items are sourced!
*Now is the time to for introspection, grounding, cleansing, spending time outdoors, home cooking, self care (beyond that face mask), meditation, decluttering, reorganizing, andgrowth!
When you look over this card your first thought is “yikes! ” however, if you take a deeper look you find hope within a sticky situation.
This card talks about the restrictions we put on ourselves and being trapped by our own mind. In the card, a woman is bound loosely and blind folded. She is only gated by swords. There is fog in the background yet you can see the shapes of land. The woman is trapped, yet she can free herself if she’s willing to wiggle a bit and knock over those swords.
There is hope. The flowers depicted around the swords shows that.
So, what do the signs all mean??
As a witch and tarot reader I’ve learned to view the world as a bucket full of signs from the universe, the goddess, my guides, and any other spiritual aid who has chosen to assist me through this crazy journey I seem to have found myself on.
These signs, symbols, numbers, etc.. . They are all there to remind you that you are on the right path.
Ever see 11:11 on a clock? How about a song on the radio that really fits what you’re going through. Maybe even a post on Tumblr? These signs are there to help guide us and let us know that yeah, there’s some type of power out there that cares.
So, this is for you. The person trapped by your own self doubt, your own thoughts, your self - loathing; don’t let that negative thinking blind you from your soul purpose. Don’t be the woman in the card bound by self. Allow yourself to have hope and don’t ever think this life isn’t worth it.
The idea of the Witch Jar has been around for a long time. However, this is my own personal guide to creating a powerful tool to enhance intentions.
First Step: Find a jar big enough for contents. I prefer a basic small herb glass jar. However, it’s really your own preference.
Step Two: Grab a pen and paper. Write down your intentions on the paper. As many times as it feels right. (Sort of like chanting but on lined paper.) For example “Money, Money come to me, as I will it so mote it be.”
Step Three: Collect the herbs and crystals needed for intention. Such as Thyme for healing or obsidian for protection.
Step Four: My personal favorite step is decoration. Make your Witch Jar yours. Paint it with acrylic. Color it with a sharpie. Throw some glitter on it. Draw runes or sigils matching your intention on it. Make it YOURS! That’s what makes magick and witchcraft so beautiful. It’s so completely personal.
Step Five: Some may be uncomfortable with this process. As it isn’t completely needed, it can be super helpful and add extra power behind your intention. Add a lock of hair, a picture, a finger nail, or blood to your mix (I prefer cutting a lock of my own hair with my ritual knife.) Any physical part of yourself will do. (Please do not injure yourself to gain blood for your jar. IF you decide to use blood PLEASE do your research first!)
Final Step: Seal the lid with wax or paint. Anything to make sure the lid stays closed. What to do after you have completed your jar? Some prefer to bury it on their property. Some prefer to toss it in a river to carry their intention away. If the spell is something you want to hold onto, keep it on your altar and charge it during full moons. If you’re a city witch it can be kind of difficult to bury or toss in a body of water. Just do whatever feels right for your purpose.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask me. I’m pretty friendly.

If you’ve been following me on insta you might no I haven’t been posting a whole lot because I’ve been working on a Tarot Deck!!! I’ve been working on this for about a month now, it’s been super fun but also pretty time consuming. I’ll be sharing some of thr illustrations but I’ll also be keeping some secret so you can be surprised if you decide to get the deck once it’s in my shop
This woman is the truth. I have gotten readings from her before and they always are accurate. Even the general readings are very on point. If you need an amazing tarot card reader dm her on tiktok. She also sells products. I ended up getting some bath bombs and body butter from her. The body butter last FOREVER and the scent is so divine. I can not sing her praises enough. This queen truly has a gift. Check her out sometimes.
The themes of the empress seem to be pretty prominent lately, which makes sense due to mercury being in libra, venus being in Leo and the moon in Taurus. Today is a perfect day for creation,beauty, art, creativity and so much more. Allow your inner beauty to flow today and allow yourself to feel like the beautiful spirit you are.
With the empress and the wheel of fate here I am sensing that today is a day of creation and beauty with a some type of sudden change that is out of your hands. This change could also help you feel good about yourself in terms of appearance or even just in a general sense.
According to the Star Spinner Tarot, The Six Of Swords: “Moving Forward often means leaving something behind.”
This could indicate a sacrifice is needed in order to move forward with your life, this could mean giving up a pleasure in order to have more structure in your life, being more disciplined as oppose to being free. This could also mean that some aspects in a relationship needs to end in order to move be able to progress. Just know that whatever you do give up on will help push you!
According to the Star Spinner Tarot, The Lovers: “The relationship feels like paradise and all parties seem to be getting what they want and need.”
Today will be a day of connecting with another person, wether it be a friend, a family member; or even a lover. You will realize how great the relationship is and even have more appreciation towards this relationship due to some actions, memories or even words!
According to the Star Spinner Tarot, Ace of Swords: “Intense focus, clarity, and an unyielding resolve. The Ace usually refers to the beginning of a realization” Today new information surrounding something you have been focusing on will be brought to your attention! A resolve to a conflict, an epiphany to something about your life, and even a new start for something!
According to the Star Spinner Tarot, Queen of Wands: “The picture of Determination. She’s a high achiever and revels in new challenges and new ideas.”
Today indicates an energy of pushing through and achieving a goal that you have set for today! Despite the challenges that may occur today, amazing results will happen if you get through whatever blockage is trying to block you!
