okay! So last weekended I decided to give my friend a little tarot reading. I’m still an amateur when it comes to readings. But this one was so accurate we couldn’t even finish it. It scares us and since we both have anxiety it sort of led us into a panic attack. And later that day, what the cards were trying to tell us, happened. Which really creeped me out. It also made me realize that I’m getting better at tarot readings and that I’m connecting more with my cards which makes me really happy. I just wanted to share that since it’s a big experience that I had with these cards.

@Ringo.
[list]well, hello there! i'm really sorry the cards triggered both you and your friend. though, in a more
positive setting.. that sounds awesome. congrats! feels pretty good to connect with a deck, right?
may i ask with deck do you use? also, may i suggest, if you haven't done it already, to make a deck
introduction spread with it?

It does feel good to connect with a deck that I’ve been working with for 9 months.
I use a common deck, rider waite the magician tarot deck. My (ex)bestfriends, mom bought it for me when I told her I was interested since she was a witch herself. So she kept the tradition of having someone buy you your first tarot deck which was really awesome.
And I have done a deck introduction spread! It gave me the chills and really helped me connect with it more. I wish I could do it with my oracle cards (not a spread but just ask it simple questions), but they won’t talk to me. It makes me sad since when I first got them I really felt this strong bond. I’m not gonna give up though!

regarding this reading matter, @everyone, if you do readings for other people, how do you work it
out? your blurt out everything and leave it as it is? ping-pong through the session? make a follow-up
chat/meeting with them about it?

When I do readings for other people we usually chat about what the card means and what it’s trying to say. Sometimes these chats last 15-20 minutes which, in my experience, really helped the reading.

ive tried scrying with my eyes closed actually! i see dancing lights streaks and colors but i dont know what they mean.

also i normally just do one card readings because i find anything more to be very draining. so my feedback is pretty short.

What you practice: Nothing atm, my family doesn't support witchcraft unfortunately ;-;
What you're interested in: Tarot mainly, though crystals do interest me as well
Are you willing to be PMed by users with divination questions: For sure, but I'm so new to this I probably am not the best person to ask questions XD
Anything else: Nope

So like,, does anyone else just feel like a strong bond to a certain gemstone?? I feel a really strong connection to sapphires and topaz for some reason and I don't really know why?? Also labradorite as well

Hello and welcome! You've been added to the list c:
Oof, I'm sorry about your family not supporting witchcraft! Being able to openly practice it would be ideal but your safety is top priority. I wish you well protection in your journeys.
I've always had a connection with amethyst. It helps that it's my birthstone, but I also love the deep purple contrasting with the bright white. Since it serves to help with relaxation and focus it's also very useful for me.

i always use the bathroom before anything, it obviously isnt fun when you have to get up during a ritual or divination. i light my candles, turn off the lights, put on some 437 music (highly recommend) and ground myself for about twenty minutes. it's very hard for me to just jump into a spell and immediately gather energy so i always take my time beforehand. once i'm ready i cleanse my space and cast my circle and set my intention. pretty standard, i know some people prefer not to do all that but my brain is pretty scattered and getting into a magical mindset takes some work. its always worth it though, i love the feeling of being in ritual.

Yeah, long preparations can definitely be rewarding. Magic tends to be more potent and effective if you take extra care to prepare and channel energy c:

What you practice: I mostly use candles, crystals, sigils, charms, my tarot cards, string, and I'm looking into using artwork and I'm making myself a custom oracle deck. More too, but this is what I can think of right now. ^`^
What you're interested in: Religious divination especially, as I'm a bitheistic Pagan (open to chatting about that too). I also really want to look into anything Celtic. I adore the traditions of the Celts. I also want to learn that bone-kit-reading? Bone throwing? I forget what it's called now.
Are you willing to be PMed by users with divination questions: Absolutely! <3
Anything else: I'm a young witch, so please don't bite my head off? ^`^ Thanks loves! <3

Howdy, folks. I'm Corrine, a young Pagan witch. I'm so glad this page exists! It sucks not having others in the practice who understand what you mean and don't immediately freak out when you utter the word "witch".

I have gemstone connections too! I'm always struck by calcite, especially blue, and citrine. I wish I had more of each. ;-;

Welcome! You've been added to the list c:
It definitely sucks to not be understood. There are so many misconceptions about both the term witch and being one. People are quick to assume the worst and it's like nah, we're just here navigating the world in our own ways. I hope you're able to find more people who support your practices!

[Corinnander]

Thanks Fern! Means a lot. I'm lucky to have my best friend, who's also a witch. She's great and we support each other!

Question for all of you: Are any of you interested in kitchen magick? I've been working with it more and more recently and if anyone would like I can post/PM some of my recipes & spells.

Welcome!

I'm drawn to crystals depending on their colours mainly. Green and blue ones, sometimes pink and occasionally red or brown/black. I find that each individual crystal has its own personality, so I don't think so much in terms of what kinds they are, but what the properties of each individual one are.

Hello!
Yes, I'd like some spells and/or recipes. I've been meaning to get into that side of witchcraft more myself lately.

[Endlessechoes]

Definitely marking! I’m really interested in starting my own divination journey <33
