hi there! i'm not a practicing pagan, but the community has always been interesting to me. i've always been drawn to it, i guess? especially as far as practicing spells and crystal magic, but i've never really been introduced to it other than tips and explanations i've seen on other sites. Well welcome aboard! I have a lot of crystals and rocks and several crystal grids if you want to know anything specific. Stones were one of the first things I looked at too since I already had a rock collection from when I was little and its only grown more since.

I haven't done a tarot reading in ages, but I'm finally confident that this deck will work for me. If you need some practice let me know. :3 I may take you up on that sometime in the near future! We'll see how it goes.

Learning the moon phases, cardinal directions, and about elemental associations are a good place to start as well as holidays. Even if you don't really end up observing them traditionally books and resources will always reference them so it's good to know so you don't get lost. If you plan on casting anything it's also a good idea to start with protection above anything else because not only is it the most simple, its a thing you will always need to use or come back to later.

In other news, and I would contribute to the current line of statement but I can't think of anything right now, one of my tarot cards is missing. So I'm waiting to get it replaced.

Tfw your class schedule gets totally screwed by ongoing events so you have to take your final online a week or so ahead of schedule and stress is starting to evaporate your soul

I got to be honest guys idk how I'm gonna make it through all this I did fine on my final but all this about COVID-19 is starting to really get my anxiety going I think my anxiety gets more worked up about the measures being taken due to it rather than the actual disease though

Oh I've uncovered some rather interesting things abouot tarot while reading today, and I petition the "Raider-Waite/Waite" tarot to henceforth just be known as the Raider tarot only.
Waite may have overseen it's art design and has taken most of the credit for it but the art was originally all Raider's and from what I can tell, she wasn't credited with it's design because she was a woman and Waite was a high ranking member of the freemasons, which, notoriously, hate and discredit women in the occult whenever possible.
Also most of his book is making educated guesses without backup (and then denouncing other authors for doing that exact same thing...), taking the cards art at face value with no nuance (ex: the devil literally being evil, death being literal death, and so on), and also going on a tangeant to denounce the validity of migrant fortune telling women when really without them the tarot as we know it wouldn't have come to be because of the european ban on playing cards. They kept the tradition alive and it evolved through them and their usage.
So anyway, there's the tea. Waite can eat dirt.

Going back and skimming again I realized he also goes out of his way to denounce other women occultists/diviners. Notably Lenoremand, as in, the one who created the lenoremand cartomancy deck which is also in wide use. He doesn't even say WHY hers is wrong other than "on account of historical validity". Like bro. You realize and tell people that tarot decks weren't even tarot until the 13th century and then bring up a recent deck as not being "historically valid" and so should be discarded entirely? You are a clown.

Im 5 seconds away from gluing sage all over me and setting myself on fire. Ive been really uncharacteristically negative the past few weeks and I've tried all of my therapy tools, grounding, meditation, mindfulness, and nothing else seems to be working. I'm just full of rage with no healthy way to let go of it

It's a bit red under light too, but otherwise looks like this.

Seconded, its definitely volcanic glass judging by the way the cut looks jagged, esp if it looks reddish/brownish see through under a bright light.

I can't stop thinking about how I re-met someone I used to know at exactly the right time and what a boon she's been to my life.
So like. I used to know them vaguely, we hung out in the halls but not really outside of school. Then one day 2. 3? years ago I randomly thought about them and they randomly thought about me and then we ran into each other completely at random out in The Wild at a park all the way across town not even remotely close to where either of us lived before. And we parallel in some really bizarre ways.

"Only you can believe all is lost but I know with time, nothing is lost." Hey, could I actually be on the list? I mainly stick to Norse and Celtic pantheons and am pretty good and a number of different types of divination. And have been studying paganism and wiccan since I was 12 (am 23 now).
