Hi my lovesss, I wanted to make this post since I’ve had many, many, epiphanies over the last year & half. I’ve come to realize a lot of spiritual truths & I educated myself a lot about soul’s growth, healing, spiritual awakening’s, etc. I wanted to inform those of you who aren’t aware of what it feels like to experience an ego “death”. This is something everyone experiences, but if you have a big purpose in life you can expect to feel these changes more drastically, whether it be internally or even external. They occur quite often. It’s Definitely not an easy thing to face either.
The reason as to why they occur?
If you have a purpose in life that is really significant, you can expect a lot of things in your life to trigger you or even be quite challenging early on in life. They occur to help you release certain patterns, behaviors, addictions, people, or even beliefs that no longer serve you. It’s basically a metaphorical death. They happen so you can change and transform your life. At times people resist change & cling onto control & doing this leaves no room for your soul’s growth. There are lightworkers, starseeds, indigo children, mediums, & so much more.. If you feel drawn to spiritual topics, divinity, or even just philosophical beliefs, then it’s possible you are meant to lead a spiritual life. Your purpose would be to learn and experience life, & to remain a student, but also a teacher to those who experienced similar things to you. The dark night of the soul occurs to help you face the darkness your ego & pride runs away from. At times they’re really painful & mentally people can’t always deal with their circumstances, or even just process their emotions. The first acknowledged ego death will always be the most painful from my experience.
How to deal with them?
The only way to deal with an ego death would be to face your ego. Let go of your pride & try to understand what issues or limiting beliefs could be creating self made obstacles for you. You’re meant to learn from these painful experiences. There will be many cycles, phases, or situations that trigger negative emotions within you, & even though logically your brain tells you “why do I have to feel like this?”, your soul & your heart both knows the root cause of everything. Those who say they don’t know always know the answer. If you ever feel lost, depressed, or just really out of touch with life, know that you could be needing to take a deeper look at your life.

The Art of Shufflemancy
(๑ˇεˇ๑)•*¨*•.¸♫♪
Derived from the mid- 16th century English word “shuffle,” and the suffix for divination or magic, “mancy.”
Perhaps you’ve seen the word “Shufflemancy” surfacing around the divination community on Tumblr, and wondered what it was. Well good news for you— I’m here to give you a bit of insight on this method of divination!
Compared to many spiritual practices we know of today, this one is quite new— thanks to technology and digital media!
Japan originally introduced CD players in 1982 (and globally in 1983) that could randomize tracks within a playlist. Then in 1991, music software on computers such as the Windows Media Player included it as well.
Moving into 2001, portable audio devices or MP3 players such as the iPod (or specifically the iPod shuffle, 2005) was released and paved the way for modern digital music streaming.
Now we often use online streaming services such as Pandora, SoundCloud, Apple Music, Spotify, etc. Customizable playlists and a myriad of artists, genres, and songs are more accessible than ever before through these platforms. It certainly has allowed Shufflemancy to become the intricate and nuanced divination system it is today.
So choose whichever music player or service that best fits you, and let’s get started!
Press Play ▶
0:00────I─────3:45
↺ ◁◁ ͏͏ ll ▷▷ ⋮ ≡
Some people would advise cleansing your device and aura before starting the Shufflemancy process.
If you feel like there is some negative or residual energy, feel free to clear up some space within the device or even around your physical surroundings. If you use other spiritual cleansing tools such as candles, incense or smudging techniques, these could be quite useful.
Otherwise, meditate on your question and set the intention. If you are a clairvoyant or psychic who has contact with your spirit guide(s), you may want to assign them an “indicator song.”
Ex. Let’s say you’ve given them “Just Like Magic” by Ariana Grande. As you are shuffling through your music playlist, the song that plays after this song (if it comes up) is a message from them!
After receiving a message, you can continue to shuffle for another song that could provide you with more answers to the question in mind.
Sᴋɪᴘ ▷▷
I personally allow querents to give me a number of skips, as I believe their intention is set when they have chosen one.
Otherwise, I would intuitively choose the number of skips myself. They would usually pop into my mind as an image. This part may vary for many of you, as certain techniques don’t necessarily work for all diviners.
[Numerology]
Within my own readings, I’ve noticed how there have been specific messages regarding the number the querent or I had intuitively chosen:
1) Associated with the Sun. The messages for the querent may relate to independence, confidence and new beginnings. They are being reminded of the power they hold within their own hands!
2) Associated with the Moon. The messages for the querent are about their emotions, affection, sensitivity, intuition, and/or how they care for others. Another interpretation may refer to balance or a particular connection with another person.
3) This number revolves around concerns regarding communication, thinking, and creative expression. The querent may be inquiring about their creative endeavours or otherwise encouraged to pursue one.
4) Connected to stability and security, the querent may be advised to focus on their material or financial concerns. This number may furthermore be reference to the querent’s family matters or sense of worth.
5) Messages about change and a need to adapt or go with the flow is common with this number. Socializing and delving into high energy pursuits and playing with the inner child is advised here.
6) Matters relating to the family, home, and/or children are emphasized when this number comes up. Emotions of compassion, understanding, harmony, and warmth are present or needed.
7) Introspection, intuition, and spirituality are put into focus. There may be a quest for knowledge and truth. The querent may be going through an internal or profound transformation.
8) Since this particular number resembles the infinity symbol and embodies two whole circles, there is a message regarding cycles, completion and/or letting go.
9) Inner wisdom and leadership is seen with this number. The querent may be an inspiration to others or will be pursuing humanitarian pursuits. An alternative message may refer to difficulties coming to an end, and finally learning one’s lessons.

*For numbers that are double digits or higher, you can add them to “reduce” them… That sounds pretty confusing doesn’t it— here are some examples:
11 is 1+1 = 2
22 is 2+2 = 4
33 is 3+3 = 6
—
11) The querent may be spiritually sensitive during the moment they asked their question. Perhaps there is a spiritual awakening in particular or a call to become more like its associated Tarot card, The Magician.
22) There is a specific message regarding spiritual mastery or achievements. The querent is meant to build or expand their skills and path towards success. Harmony and balance is also advised since this number contains double 2s.
33) The querent may be undergoing an immense amount of growth or is called to focus on learning and advancement in everything they do. This number is associated with business and personal projects as well. So there is certainly an encouragement to stay on their desired path.
Now Playing ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪
Pause ⏯
Once you’ve reached the number of skips you intended to shuffle in your chosen playlist, lift your fingers from the button to stop the skipping! Then, pause the song whenever you are energetically drawn to particular lyrics.
Remember to take note of the mood and significant memories or imagery that comes to mind from the song.
✎ Interpreting Lyrics
Pay attention to how the lyrics make you feel and what they are saying. How do they relate to the question in mind?
If needed, you could perhaps write down any significant impressions of the song on paper and gather a message from there!
Ex. “How do they feel about me?”
9 SKIPS + Cloud 9 - Beach Bunny:
Lately, I’ve been feeling un-alive
But you bring me back to life
But when he loves me, I feel like I’m floating…
Your person in question feels inspired by you, compassionate, and like they can accomplish anything when they’re with you. This is quite evident as the number 9 encompasses these qualities, and is emphasized both in the intuitively chosen number of skips, as well as the title name. The song moreover feels upbeat and is likely a representation of their ultimate emotions towards you! They indeed feel like they’re on Cloud 9 ꒰⑅ᵕ༚ᵕ꒱˖♡♡˖꒰ᵕ༚ᵕ⑅꒱

✿ Now it’s your turn! I was called to share this song with all of you. So if you feel drawn to it… perhaps it’s meant for you to interpret:

also known as: how to manifest using states!
your state is what manifests, not your thoughts.
this has become a very inflammatory sentence for some, but it shouldn't be scary. states simplify manifestation, it doesn't complicate it.
at the beginning of my loa journey, i would affirm alllll day long. while watching tv, while reading, while hanging out with my friends. and by the logic of "your dominant thoughts manifest," i should've gotten my manifestations after only a few days of that. but i didn't, because dominant thoughts aren't what manifests, it's your state that manifests.
you are not a state. you are I Am, and you enter in and out of states all day long. there is an infinite number of states, and no one experiences states the same way. so even if two people are manifesting the same thing (for example, money), the State of Being Rich will probably look different for both of them. so there's really no one specific way a state should look/feel!
because there are an infinite number of states you can occupy, right now you have the power to be rich, just as much as you have the power to be poor. it is just as easy to occupy the state of being rich as it is the state of being poor. you are both of these things, and you know that you are both of these things because you can imagine being both of these things, and everything stems from your imagination.
the state that you consistently go to, also known as your dwelling state, is the state that manifests into your 3d reality.
you switch states simply by intending to. the second you want to switch states, you do. in order to maintain this new state, you can use a technique such as affirming, scripting, or visualizing.
let's talk about affirming.
affirming is a TECHNIQUE. some people argue that since affirmations are just thoughts, you can never stop affirming and should be monitoring your thoughts all day long. i do not agree with this.
your thoughts do not manifest. it's why i spent my time from summer 2020-summer 2021 affirming on a constant loop 24/7 that i was in a relationship with my [old] sp, and it never manifested. it's why when you get intrusive thoughts they don't manifest. it's why--even tho every time you go to the bathroom you check behind the shower curtain in case something's there--nothing ever is. it's also why you were able to manifest something by thinking you wanted it once.
you do not need to "create new neural pathways" or think in your favor 24/7. your negative thoughts act as indicators that you fell out of your desired state, and you can instantly correct this by shifting back to the state of the wish fulfilled. you don't even need to flip the thought. your thoughts have no power, unless you give them power by allowing them to let you wallow in the state of lack.
all that being said, affirmations can help you maintain your desired state. i say maintain, because getting into the state is instant, and requires no technique. however, there is such thing as affirming from lack.
what is affirming from lack? it's affirming to get what you want. it's affirming from a state of not having your desire. it's the same as thinking of your desire, instead of thinking from your desire.
a few months ago, the 10k challenge was going around. it was marketed as a fool-proof way to get your manifestation, because all you had to do was "affirm 10k times to create a new neural pathway which created an assumption." yet so many people affirmed 10k+ times and still didn't get their desire. why? because they were affirming from lack.
quality > quantity. you can affirm 10k times and not get your desire, because you weren't in your desire state. you can affirm once and get your desire, because you were in the state.
so how do you not affirm from lack?
an easy way is to pay attention to your affirmations. mindless affirming is out! this shouldn't be a scary thing to hear, because as we discussed, there's no need for you to affirm 5 million times in order to reach some imaginary quota, because your thoughts don't manifest.
affirm with purpose! create an affirmation that implies you already have your desire, and repeat it with the purpose of conjuring the feeling of knowing. the feeling of knowing may feel like calm, peace, relief, contentment, or even excitement. when Neville Goddard said "feeling is the secret," this is the feeling he was talking about, NOT emotions.
if your affirmations are making you feel anxious, this can indicate one of two things:
affirming is not the technique for you (which is OKAY!!)
you're affirming to get
"affirming to get" is a big debate as well. yes, you are manifesting your desire because you want to get it in your 3D. but in order to get it in your 3D, you must change your 4D first. so you should be using techniques such as affirming in order to change your 4D, knowing that if you change your 4D, your 3D will follow. there is no one to change but self.
if affirming is not the technique for you, there is always visualizing, scripting, vaunting, etc.
also the distraction technique, my fav way to get into the state of the wish fulfilled! hehe
to sum it up:
"it's not focusing so much on getting the objects, but becoming the one who already has it." - Edward Art
you should still be persisting in the fact that you already have your desire. you persist by consistently shifting back to your desired state, no matter what you see in the 3D.
reacting to the 3D, like negative thoughts, is an indicator that you have slipped from your desired state.
it can be very beneficial for you to have self-soothing tactics to use in case your 3D causes you to spiral or makes you anxious. these can include eft tapping, breathing exercises, etc.
your 3D is malleable. if you see something in your 3D that you don't like, you can change it. your 3D is simply a reflection of your dwelling state. if you don't see what you want in your 3D, let it serve as a reminder to shift your state back to your desired state. once again, you change your 4D to change your 3D. there is no one to change but self.
question: if you can affirm to get into a state, doesn't that mean your thoughts create your state and that your thoughts technically manifest?
answer: WRONG! like i've mentioned earlier in this post, you enter a state by intention. affirming can help you maintain the state, but your thoughts do not create your state. your state creates your thoughts. every state has thoughts that correspond with it, which is why can manufacture affirmations that imply you already have your desire and repeat them to conjure the feeling of knowing. it's also why negative thoughts act as indicators that you fell out of the state.
question: isn't that the same as someone saying "just assume?"
answer: NO! there are techniques to help you maintain the state. yes entering a state is instant, but there are techniques for you to use to stay in it.
question: are states ableist?
answer: NO!!!! this is something that people are saying on loatwt in order to villainize the people who teach states, and it's frankly disgusting. ANYONE can get into a state, even if they are neurodivergent! you are always in a state! you're in a state right now. i am neurodivergent, as are most of my friends that are states enthusiasts, and it has helped all of us to manifest our desires without driving ourselves to mental exhaustion by affirming 24/7.
question: how long do i have to stay in the wish fulfilled?
answer: it's not so much about how long you stay in the state, it's about frequency. no, not frequency as the law of attraction vibration bullshit, but how often you go back to the state. if you think about your desire 15 times a day, you should shift back into the state 15 times that day. if you think about your desire 5 times, then you should shift back into the state 5 times that day.
hopefully this helps clarify the idea of states for you, and helps you manifest your desires!! <3
Today we’ll be talking about Faeries! Also known as Fairies, The Fae, The Fair Folk, The Honest Folk, The Little Folk, and many more.
- What are faeries?: The answer to this differs between personal belief and cultures. What we do know is they are powerful, tricky, spirits found in nature. I personally like to think of them as nature spirits, having a specific connection to a place, like a river. Or a certain tree, plant, flower, element, ect. Each existing to protect or represent that thing, and be called on in its name. I also think faeries are specific extensions of the energies and correspondences surrounding the elements. Where do I find them?: As stated above, in nature! There are many different faeries, with different stories, associations, and things to offer. If there is nature, there are faeries. Why should I work with them?: Let’s get this straight for those who are new, you do NOT have to work with or even believe in them to be a witch. That being said, Faeries can help as reconnect with nature, they can keep the nature that surrounds us safe too. For example helping and protecting a garden, they can help us in the way spells can too. They can help with luck, love, growth, happiness, just about anything you’d use a spell for. But don’t be fooled, faeries can also be tricksters. The majority of them are mischievous by nature. So beware, and stay safe. I’ll get into how to do that in a bit. How do I work with them?: Fae are similar to other spirits or Deities in that they have specialties, they can offer you help and advice. If you just want to keep on good terms with them or open up general communication and see where it goes you should go out into nature and leave an offering. Preferably near your house. If you want something specific, however, you should look into different kinds of Fae that are associated with that thing. To contact a specific fae, you could go somewhere that fae is associated with and leave an offering or do divination. You could meditate on the situation with them in mind. Summon them into a dream. It’s up to you and your practice. Ways to honor them/offerings: • Meditate and focus on them • if you grown fruits and veggies, leave the last of it on the plant for them. • Leave a bit of choice food like milk, bread, or wine out on the earth for them. They also like shiny things like jewelry, the finer things. • Make an altar to them, especially to specific Fae. • Leave a space near the fire for them. Is there anything I shouldn’t do or be warned of?: Yes! The Fae are mysterious creatures who can be easily offended. Here’s a list of do’s and don’ts when working with or communicating with The Fae. DON’T be rude! Do not say anything disrespectful to the Fae, they consider themselves better than us and are more powerful and tricky than us. Often, much much older too. This also includes not snooping in a Faeries things or realm, not speaking of gifts or blessings they bring you, and not carrying iron with you or near them (it hurts them and WILL be seen as insulting or an attack.) And absolutely do not lie! Always keep promises. This goes with the last tip, don’t lie to them and if you don’t keep a promise or deal the debt WILL be repaid either by your own hand, or perhaps less favorably by theirs. Do not accept a gift, say sorry, or thank you. Once more on the topics of debts, doing any of these things implies you have a debt to them and you don’t want to find yourself in that situation. Do not give them your name. This gives them power over you. Instead say “You may call me ___.” Perhaps give them a nickname of yours. Do not mention a child, especially an infant! The Fae love children but they may switch the child with a changeling or cause misfortune for the child if you anger them, do not risk it! Do not dance with them or accept food or drink. In folklore and stories this ends with dancing till death, or being forever tied to the Fae’s realm. Mind your words. The Fae are masters of trickery, they’re mischievous by nature. The Fae tend to take things literally, like genies in movies. You might not break any of these rules, yet they’ll still mess up what you ask for or wish for. Choose your wording VERY carefully, especially when asking for help. How can I learn more?: I would highly recommend The Fairy Bible by Teresa Moorey. She goes over just about anything and everything you’d want to know relating to Faeries. She also goes over many types of Faeries, including elemental faeries, weather faeries, tree faeries, flower faeries, and household faeries. If you have anymore questions about the Fae feel free to message me! I adore this topic. I hope this helped your or you learned something! Enjoy! Have a lovely day 💖
Different anon but can you meet someone in the 5D and then... not remember it? I've seen a few people talk about how some might not remember meeting someone in the 5D but from what you're saying it sounds like you need to already have had your awakening and be pretty far into it actually. So I'm just confused I guess, that you'd be at such a level but still not remember what happens in the 5D?
Also, if you're not there yet, like not fully awakened, can you still meet other souls in the 5D? Or is that something that's reserved for people who already know stuff? I'm sorry, I'm just trying to understand how all of this works
yes absolutely!! that happens to me a lot, not remembering what happen it's totally normal, for my own experience, it's like, i know i communicate with my twin the whole night,, but when i wake up i remember a few details or i just don't remember anything at all,, but the feeling is there
also, there's no need to have an awakening -yet- because our souls are constantly communicating through the 5d realm, even as kids we can have such experiences when we remember random 5d experiences, having an awakening is more like, something that will help you grow spiritually, it surely will help you to connect in the 5d more easily, and by doing meditations and raising our vibrations it will help you remember more easily
