King of Swords This card represents logic, truth, authority, and clear communication. It asks you to think rationally, set firm boundaries, and lead with integrity rather than emotion. Someone (possibly you) must act from wisdom, not impulse. Temperance Temperance brings balance, patience, moderation, and spiritual alignment. It signals the need to blend opposites, find the middle path, and allow things to unfold in the right timing. This card says: don’t rush—integrate. Ace of Wands The Ace of Wands is new passion, inspiration, desire, and creative or sexual fire. It marks the spark of a new beginning, an idea, or an energetic push forward—but it is raw and needs direction. A new opportunity or desire is emerging, but it must be guided by clarity and balance to succeed. - The Ace of Wands brings the spark - Temperance stabilizes and refines that energy - The King of Swords directs it with intelligence and truth This is not a reckless leap. It’s a measured, intentional initiation. How this can show up: - Love: A passionate new beginning that requires honest communication and emotional maturity - Career/Projects: A strong idea succeeds only if planned logically and paced wisely - Spiritual path: You’re being asked to align will (fire) with wisdom (air) and balance (alchemy) Shadow Warning If ignored, this spread warns against: • Acting on desire without thinking • Overthinking and killing inspiration • Losing balance between passion and control

Ovomancy is often misunderstood as only a diagnostic or divination practice, but in reality it works so well for spells because of the nature of the egg itself. The egg is not passive. It is an active magical vessel. Ovomancy is also a form of divination and spiritual diagnosis using an egg, most commonly a raw chicken egg. The egg is believed to absorb, reveal, and reflect spiritual conditions such as energetic blockages, crossed conditions, mal de ojo (evil eye), attachments, emotional heaviness, or outside interference. Why eggs? The egg is a liminal object. It represents life, death, rebirth, containment, and potential. Spiritually, it acts as a vessel that can both absorb and reveal.

Before first use, cleanse it with smoke, moonlight, or breath. Hold it and state its purpose clearly. Example “You are no common broom. You are a tool of threshold, protection, and cleansing. Serve me in truth and power.” Never let others casually use or step over your besom.

The besom can be used to define sacred space. Before casting a circle, walk the perimeter and lightly sweep the air or ground to “clear” the ritual boundary. This marks the space as between worlds—a liminal zone where magic is active.
