Gojira I generally don't read with the minor, simply because I don't like it. it's more of the nitpicky details so if I'm doing, for example, a Celtic cross reading I'll use them but otherwise I don't. I bought a deck and I do reversals jeez, i couldn't handle the big Celtic cross/other giant spreads. if I have more than 4 cards laid out it gets muddy for me fast lol. i love my tarot deck to bits but i guess i'm just more cut out for ouija/pendulum

I totally understand having to resonate with something for it to work. It's part of why I made my own wand by hand instead of buying one. I love my wand to death. She's a beauty. I haven't named her yet though but I feel like she needs one.

An oak branch that fell in my grandmas backyard. It was the perfect length, elbow to fingers, and is nearly perfectly straight except for a nice small curve where you can hold it. I peeled off the bark, got out a couple of the bigger knots in it, pointed it, and hollowed out a spot in the pommel for a jade stone to be glued in and there you have it! I didn't really sand it down or use a wood finish to keep it looking natural and I'm proud of my work. She's beautiful.
Wands are usually a masculine symbol I know, but mine gives off a definite feminine vibe I think, which is why I keep saying she. I feel like my wand has its own sort of personality and she just naturally resonates with me because I made it by hand.

So i got a deck from my mom that I'm borrowing and I have no idea how to start with figuring out how to use the tarot cards. I don't think I've ever even had a reading done to reference with memory. Does anyone ha e any tips? I might try things tomorrow after my classes cause it's kinda late here but I just am wondering if anyone has tips

Protip for all magic: Just try not to summon Satan himself or something tbh and you'll be fine. xD

ill make note of that. im just worried ill get confused i tend to need to see an example, have it explained, and then practice it with some guidance. it makes teaching myself thingds difficult. but i want to learn this because it might provide a more clear answer for me than my pendulum until i better learn how to understand it. i feel like the pendulum is tellign me what i want to know. like if i ask if while im extremely upset if im going to be okay it will tell me no but if im in a good mood and i ask it something it will most likely tell me what i want to hear. it makes me unsure of what is correct or not. idk if its because of what type of gem/crystal its made of or if its me but idk. i need to go to the store i got it from to ask for help on that.

On the topic of tarot cards;
I'd love a deck, and there is one I have my eye on - Raven's Prophecy tarot deck, its called (the art is beautiful, and really resonates with me. I'm actually quite obsessed with it) - that I think I might ask for for my birthday this year. I'd love to make my own one day, but I don't have the time to paint my own deck yet. Hopefully next year!
On a completely unrelated note, if you guys like reading, I highly recommend The Raven Cycle series by Maggie Steifvater, the same person who illustrates the above mentioned tarot deck. It focuses on the supernatural and Welsh mythology. There are psychics, very complicated tarot readings, ghosts, lots of ravens and an assassin. Its really wonderful.
There's also a slow burn LGBT relationship. It's perfect.[/font]

That's all right!
So, what kind of magic do you do with your wand? I'm really quite interested to know.

I use it for a lot of things, or sometimes i just carry it with me because I feel kind of safe having it around me. I've used it to cast my circle when i do, direct other energy or power up my stones and runes when i use them. I also have used it to help me meditate because the jade calms me.
And sometimes I hold it and wave it around for no particular reason because it's fun to imagine i'm a fictional wizard and makes me feel better to play with wHOOPS.

I think I need to invest in getting myself something like that. My crystals are fantastic for channeling energy and helping balance emotions, but they're not so great for other spells. What sort of thing would you recommend?
Wizards are awesome though???

I really am not sure. A wand or staff is certainly good for directing and channeling power and can even use stones in them like mine. There's also candle magic or charm bags. Even color-coordinated magics if you think color helps a spell.
I still sometimes play make-believe with myself and my stuffed animals just out of my own childishness and boredom. I need help lmao.

Hmmm, I might try a staff, I think. Now, I gotta find a good tick. Maybe on my next hike I can find a good one. I'd like to carve it with snakes and constellations, now that I think about it... And I think brightly coloured ribbons or something... Ideally purple and red, to match my stuffed snake XD
Either way, I think I'm going to try some stress-less spells tonight. And maybe a nice warm bath...
Me too, to be honest. I have several plot lines that I play out in my mind, and my stuffed wolf is an excellent spectator. I also have a stuffed lizard that sits on my bookshelf and stares at me, judging my immaturity. Whatever. I will be as childish as I want.

Sometimes I decide to just play with them as a coping mechanism. Stuffed animals are good snuggle buddies too. x3 Random thought, I wonder if i could make a stuffed animal with a charm bag for calm/happiness inside of it? Kind of like the hearts or voice boxes inside a build a bear or something but actually something useful.
Hey that could be a really great gift for people. Charm bears! :0

Agreed. When I get really down (as in 'the world is falling apart around me' down) the first step in my coping mechanisms is always 'sob into the back of my stuffed wolf'. I consider my wolf one of my items of power -I've had it since I was six years old, and I got it from America when I visited there, so its very personal to me. A strong connection, you could say.
Oh wow, what a great idea! Each one could contain a different stone, and could be used for a specific purpose!

I was thinking like fill the bags with stones or little spells and prayers or other things for love/happiness/good luck/good health. That's a very marketable and cute idea! I just thought about giving sick children in hospitals get well bears with spells to actually help aid that. :3
I have a few stuffed animals that are very close to me. Firstly my stuffed rabbit Carrot cake i've had since... forever. I also have a really lovely bear in a pale pink and green dress with roses. And two couple bears, one pink and one blue I named Cindy and Blue Dot, they've always been next to each other wherever I have them.

So one of my deities is Psyche and her symbol/animal is butterflies. So one day I suggested to her that if she was to send me a sign have white butterflies for good things and yellow for bad. So like I was out with this girl yesterday and I'm one of the stores we went to there were all these fake white butterflies hanging down over the escalators and they were really pretty. Then I saw this rainbow on the way to school as I remembered my suggestion to Psyche over the butterflies and it just kinda clicked. I'm thinking it's a sign for good things but idk.

I agree. I just seemed to have got caught up in a bunch of other series. XD You know me. Bookworm with short attention span.
I'm currently trying to read all the books by Diana Wynne Jones. Besides that, I seem to have Knightly & Son book 2 waiting for me to read it.

I haven't read any of those! Are they good?
