This is my "homework" from the activities in Mini Course "Divination for Beginners". I attached photos of some items I used for the activities. Lesson 1 Activity: What change is in my future that I am unaware of? Lesson 2 Activity: I have two new tarot decks I have not worked with yet. I will be shuffling them to connect with each deck before diving into readings. Lesson 3 Activity: I looked at a string of felt beads. It is a cat toy that we are using as a garland on our ofrenda de mascotas. I originally chose it because the bright colors reminded me of the traditional dia de lost muertos decor. After looking at itbfor this activity, it symbolizes a few things: finding beauty in everything, even in the sorrow of losing a beloved pet; the variation of color and slight variation in shape also represent how each day with our pets is different and unique but together they become something beautiful; the string also has slight curves and waves in it, which represent the journey of grief - it never leaves but some days the waves are higher and sometimes they're easier to cope with. Lesson 4 Activity: I spent 5 minutes watching a flame. Frustration, peace, dichotomy, dancing lovers, longing, reaching, lantern, fireplace, water droplet, petals Lesson 5 Activity: I do most of my tarot readings at my desk. I often listen to forest sounds, have a small candle lit, and use strings lights on the wall in front of me for my main lights ounce. Lesson 6 Activity: I did a one card tarot reading, and asked the cards to help me determine how to approach a difficult conversation with someone I am close to. I pulled the Two of Swords, which to mean means the cards are aware I have been avoiding this conversation for a while and the way forward is to take my blinders off, face this conversation head-first, but be curious and open to information shared with me that I may not be aware of. I feel much more confident broaching this topic now that I have a kick in the pants from the cards to just do the damn thing.

Hello guys, my name is Mira. I joined some time ago but I didn't even have time to introduce myself with everything going on in my life rn. I'm 23, I first came across witchcraft (conciously) around 8 years ago (I think), I always wanted to practice but never knew how to start :) I'm a mother of 2 (cats) who love pushing my crystals off the shelves </3 Also if there are some Slavic witches I'd looove some book recommendations as I'm Slavic myself and want to learn more about that (my great-grandpa is a good source 🖤 but I'm always thankful for new resources haha)

So today I had my first session with a tutor (I've been very excited for it) and it went not as I expected. I had to swallow some disrespectful behaviour from her. So I asked the cards to show me how to learn to find balance within, to not tilt into the negative and learn to defend myself without going to the other extreme. But I find it a little hard to interpret the ones that flew out. I'd be grateful if anyone helped me make sense of what these beauties are trying to tell me 🫶🏼 What I've noticed is that hierophant has been persistently showing up since yesterday night. And the judgement card as well

Here is a summary of my "homework" from Mini Course "Protection Magic Basics". Lesson 1 Activity: I would like to feel like my home is more protected. While I don't feel any negative energies in our current home and we don't have many visitors or guests, we live in an apartment and so there are many people within a small distance. I'd like to be sure that we are protecting which energies enter our home. Lesson 2 Activity: I took a shower, and imagined negative energy leaving my body along with the dirt as I cleansed and rinsed off. I cleaned up my desk, which has been my main area for tarot readings and where I do a lot of other mentally-involved tasks. Both myself and area felt lighter and stronger in their purposes after the cleanings. Lesson 3 Activity: I carried a small piece of silver sheen obsidian in my pocket. I did this activity with the Lesson 5 Activity, though in hindsight i probably shouldve done them on separate days. Luckily, the obsidian and the sigil seemed to provide different support. Throughout the day, when I felt I needed a recharge of my personal protective field, i touched the stone as I imagined it regenerating and strengthening. Lesson 4 Activity: The protective light field felt warm and comforting and uplifting. I imagined negative energy and thoughts bouncing off of the light field. Lesson 5 Activity: Based on the purpose of this lesson, I created a "protect" sigil and wrote it on a piece of paper which I kept in my pocket along with the obsidian from Lesson 3. Through my work day, I felt an invisible energy barrier between me and a coworker that has had some toxic and draining energy lately. I left work feeling light and ready to accomplish more errands and chores. Lesson 6 Activity: I will be making a ward for our home and I will refresh it monthly, or more often as needed.

First of all, TGIF all you lovelies! Second, we’re like a week out almost from our last eclipse (partial solar on 21st). Do you feel any difference? Oof, I know I DO! Things have calmed down. I noticed it’s been kinda quiet past couple days and so I just wanted to check in with everyone! Any positives ppl want to share? What have you done to deal with all that eclipse energy? I know it’s been energetically wild but today I woke up kinda weak and dizzy… made myself around 9am start cleaning and going through crap in my room, bagged up my sons clothes to go to good will, vacuumed my room, washed the windows (inside and outside), sprayed some sage spray, and opened up the windows to let the fresh air and light in (let the yuck energy out!). I feel MUCH better.
