“Reverse” changelings are rarely addressed on tumblr, but it’s actually something that I discuss with others in the craft frequently offline. So I thought I would compile it into a comic for witchblr!

Things I Wish I Knew as a Baby Witch

What type of a witch am I? This can be so stressful on the beginning of your journey. Like me... you may be looking up different types of witchcraft and which titles. The thing is you don't know yet what your journey is going to hold. Looking back I connected with different types of witchcraft. The witchcraft that you connect with may determine what title you'd like to give yourself. The good news is you don't have to decide right now because it's a journey.

Keep An Open Mind: To limit yourself in saying that you are a particular type of a witch and only do one type of witchcraft... may stifle your growth in your craft. You don't know what you connect with yet... I didn't. You have already claimed that you are a witch... it's a title. What type of witchcraft you go towards is your personal journey. Being a witch is enough. ✨

Difference between Spirituality and Religion...

Shoutout to this anon for this wonderful idea.

Disclaimer : These are my thoughts and belief. You don't have to agree with me on each point.

Spirituality

"Spirituality is having your own experience."

Spirituality let's you discover

Spirituality lets you discover and it empowers you to find your own truth make your own believes and it is your choice whether you believe something or not.

Spirituality believes in Karma

Spirituality is what you give comes back to you be it a good deed or a sin. It will eventually find its way back to you and I believe within this lifetime.

It let's you find your own path

It never asks you to walk on a particular path. Spirituality sets you on your own path- one which the only limits are set by yourself. It’s all about following your own heart.

There are no rules

Spirituality has no rules the only thing it has is freedom. freedom to make your own path ; to make your own decisions ; to make your own belief system.

It is based purely on love and not fear

Spirituality encourages making decisions out of love and the pure desire to be the best you can be, for its own sake.

Spirituality unites people

To spirituality all the truth is same, although there could be different perspectives. Ultimately, spirituality teaches us there are no walls, divisions, borders, races, or cultural divides; we’re all one.

Religion

"Religion is belief in someone else's experience. "

Religion tells you what to believe

Religion is black and white we are taught to what to believe in and what not. We don't have a say in what we are believing it is just we have to close our eyes and believe whatever we are told.

Religion beleives in punishment

Religion has always taught me that whatever crimes I commit in this lifetime be it small or big. I have to pay for it in after life to be honest until this date I have never heard anyone talking about the good things I do in my religion it is always the bad things they give lectures on. A famous quote here is "nobody will notice 1000 good things you have done but 1 mistake and everyone notices it while you also pay for it"

You have to follow someone else's path

Religion talks a lot about ancient gods and old stories. And there are some set believes which you have to follow you can't even alter them a bit it has to be done the way it is. They were made by someone else and we are just following their path.

Religion is rigid

Again the same point but religion is full of rules and there is no freedom like some of the rituals are so so so so planned that everything should go the way it is and you have to do it like your great grandfather's use to do.

In religion their are alot of fears

Throughout religion, there is lots of fear. The afterlife, particularly, is a big one. There are very specific rules that create real problems if they’re not followed.This can lead to psychological complexes and insecurities.But choices made from fear never produce the right results.

Religion seperates people

To each religion, their story is the only way. All others are false. And I don't further need to explain it.

I thought that brief description to each point will help you understand better. So, I added that.

My theory : Now this is my theory and you can have other opinions. So, I think that all religion stems from deep spirituality. Jesus and Prophet Mohammed, for example, all had deeply profound spiritual journeys before they embarked on their own. Each religion has beautiful souls, but anything that carries the negative aspects of religion will hurt the progress of humanity…and the world.

How to Ask Tarot for a General Prediction

Sometimes you have no specific question at all. But you find yourself curious about life in the long haul.

Step 1: Sort your deck.

Separate the Major Arcana (22 cards); the court cards (16 cards); the Wands, the Cups, the Swords, and the Pentacles (10 cards each). You should have six piles.

Step 2: Ask about life.

Overhand shuffle the Major Arcana, while asking, “What can I expect from life?” If a single card jumps out and lands face side up, that is your answer. Otherwise, put any rogues back in the pile and take the card on top. Read it.

Examples:

Justice – Life will give you whatever you deserve.

Death – Life as you know it now will change completely.

The Sun – Life will make you very happy.

Step 3: Ask about help.

Overhand shuffle the court cards, while asking, “Who will help me?” If a single card jumps out and lands face side up, that is your answer. Otherwise, put any rogues back in the pile and take the card on top. Read it.

Examples:

King of Wands – A Leo. Someone brave and protective.

Queen of Wands – An Aries. Someone strong and powerful.

Page of Cups – A Water sign. Someone emotional and loving.

Step 4: Ask about passion.

Overhand shuffle the Wands, while asking, “Where will I find passion?” If a single card jumps out and lands face side up, that is your answer. Otherwise, put any rogues back in the pile and take the card on top. Read it.

Examples:

Ace of Wands – In something you have not tried before.

Five of Wands – In sports or competition.

Eight of Wands – In communication or travel.

Step 5: Ask about love.

Overhand shuffle the Cups, while asking, “Will love find me?” If a single card jumps out and lands face side up, that is your answer. Otherwise, put any rogues back in the pile and take the card on top. Read it.

Examples:

Ace of Cups – Yes, a new love will find you.

Five of Cups – Yes, but it will not stay.

Ten of Cups – Yes, and it will last forever.

Step 6: Ask about demons.

Overhand shuffle the Swords, while asking, “Will I defeat my demons?” If a single card jumps out and lands face side up, that is your answer. Otherwise, put any rogues back in the pile and take the card on top. Read it.

Examples:

Ace of Swords – Yes, you will slay them.

Three of Swords – They will always stay with you.

Ten of Swords – Never.

Step 7: Ask about wealth.

Overhand shuffle the Pentacles, while asking, “Will I know wealth?” If a single card jumps out and lands face side up, that is your answer. Otherwise, put any rogues back in the pile and take the card on top. Read it.

Examples:

Ace of Pentacles – Yes, like never before.

Five of Pentacles – You will know poverty.

Ten of Pentacles – Definitely.

Step 8: Ask about time.

Put the whole deck together again. Overhand shuffle all 78 cards, while asking, “When will any of this begin?”

If two cards jump out and land face side up, they are your answer. Otherwise, put any rogues back in the pile and take the card on top and the one at the bottom. Those are the two possibilities. For meanings, refer to this.

How to Distinguish Between Visions and Imagination

Magic exists. But don’t fool yourself into seeing it where it isn’t.

WHEN ASLEEP

When your dream is about something you saw, heard or thought about in the last few days, it means nothing.

If you watched a documentary about tigers and you dream of a tiger, that is not a divine message. It is just your mind processing information.

But if you dream of being in a medieval banquet, when you have not watched an Arthurian film in months and have not thought about buffets in days, then you might be wandering in a past life.

WHEN AWAKE

When you are sleepy or lost in thought, and you find yourself seeing, hearing or smelling things that are not there, they mean nothing.

If you are daydreaming about going to Disneyland and you suddenly hear the sound of a carousel, you simply have an active imagination.

But if you are very focused on finishing a paper, and the words on your screen suddenly warp into the shape of a rollercoaster, then you are having a waking vision.

WHEN SCRYING

When the images you see are merely derived from the colors or marks on your scrying instrument, then you are not scrying.

If your crystal ball has a scratch in the shape of a musical note, and you see a piano, your mind is simply thinking creatively.

But if your scrying mirror is entirely spotless, and yet from its center, you see a detailed portrait emerging, only then are you really scrying.

WHEN WORSHIPPING

When what you see on your altar are slight movements that take only a moment, your god did not create them.

If you are looking at Venus’ portrait while praying to her, and you see her smile for a second, you are only imagining it.

But if you see her running her hand through her hair while you hear the soft sound of her fingers against it, then she is hearing your prayer and enjoying your presence.

how people who are victims of misinformation of the void and consciousness look at me when I tell them you can “enter” the void or “become” the pure consciousness simply by stuff like daydreaming, having inner monologue, or just really anything that puts your mind off 3D and it doesn’t have to be 4 hours of subliminals or 6283 different methods
