Deck Interviews and why they are Important!

Hi guys, it’s Mai, and I happen to have a special post today!

Today we will be learning why deck interviews are important- for tarot and oracle cards. You see, every deck is different. Even tarot decks. Even mass produced decks! Each deck has its own individual personality, and I don’t think a lot of people realize this.

Each time I get a new deck of any divination card, I conduct a simple deck interview:

(Thank you @dailygrimoire for your wonderful spread; they also have a great post on bonding with your decks!)

As you interpret the cards, write it down, like you’re writing a paper for work or school. You’ll find it’s easier to understand when it’s not “reversed magician, upright 3 of swords?? What????”

Remember, each deck is different. My Silmarilion Oracle deck is a very pessimistic deck, but it gives you straight facts. My demonic arcana deck (by @crimson-chains and @kaizuart ) is very eager to please, but might try too hard sometimes.

(But seriously go look at the art for the demonic arcana deck it’s gorgeous)

I learned these things about my decks by asking them. You won’t get anywhere with them without making an effort!

I need some assistance..

So I’m making a tarot deck, right? And I set it on my nightstand at night when I’m done working on it. Each morning for the past few days, the Moon card is on my bed. Like, I put it on the bottom of my deck in progress and it still ends up on my bed?? Is my baby tarot deck trying to tell me??

Spell for a Snow Day(s)

So the weatherman kept telling my area to expect 1-3 inches of snow, and that we probably wouldn’t have school tomorrow. Well, the day comes.. and no snow. The next week, he says to expect MORE snow. The day comes.. powder. Like, powdered sugar. A light dusting. So, I decided, if the weatherman is going to tell me it’s gonna snow, I’ll have a little magic on my side to encourage it to snow! So I made a spell. It brings about FAVORABLE CONDITIONS for a snow day or two.

It’s good for us closet witches, because a it’s a subtle spell, and no one will know, unless people are routinely riffling through your pillows.

You need:

a sigil for snow day,

your bed,

and that’s it.

First, write down your sigil. Charge it with your hopes and prayers for a snow day and all the rest and relaxation that comes with it. The stronger your intent, the more snow days you are likely to have (I ended up with two).

Second, put it under your pillow when you’re getting ready for bed.

Thirdly, go to sleep. We all know snow doesn’t fall in generous amounts when we’re awake. Sleep on it for one week, and you will end up with a lovely snow day! Or two!

Don’t recast this spell after casting initially for a few weeks. Mother Nature may saddle you with a blizzard, and us folks here in the Midwest region don’t need any more blizzards, thank you.

thank you for the pics of your silmarillion deck!! they’re so cute! can i ask how you decided on what messages to put on the oracle cards?

Hey sure! Basically I read that book like seven times and tried to think on their ‘purpose’ in Arda. They were out there for a reason. Some were easy (Manwë, for instance). Some…. I struggled (Melkor). But in the end, they all had lil messages, and they worked.

Darth Sauron 2.0! When the Final Battle occurs, Mairon is blinded by Olorin’s lightsaber! Mairon, now Sauron, uses the Force to see the future, and to tell where people are.

Otherwise he just memorizes a room layout.

Comfort Items + Witchcraft

A collection of ideas on how you may incorporate your comfort item/s into your craft. Be creative, be specific, make it your own! This is just to get some ideas flowing <3

Stuffed animals:

Put small tumbled crystals in with the stuffing.

Make a crystal bracelet/necklace for them. 

Make herb/spell sachets (or even a teeny spell bottle) and place inside. 

Alternatively, sew on a little pocket and place the sachet/bottle in that!

Enchant to bring comfort/protection. 

*Use as a physical tie for wards or spells. 

Make little outfits - incorporate color correspondences, stitch sigils in them, add little pockets to hold herbs/crystals, etc.

Blankets:

Stitch a sigil onto a corner (or use fabric paint). 

Add a small pouch/pocket (with a flap) for herbs and crystals. 

Spritz with an herbal spray.

Enchant to bring comfort/protection.

Color correspondences. 

Make your own blanket and infuse magic into the stiches/rows. Be creative with the colors and patterns - how do they tie into what you intend to use the blanket for?

Other items/general ideas:

Hold and channel your energy + intention into the item. 

*Use as a physical tie for wards/spells.

Draw/stitch/attach sigils. 

Attach/include crystals.

Spritz with an herbal spray or attach herbs.

Utilize color correspondences/material correspondences. 

Enchant the item itself, or attach something enchanted to it. 

Things to keep in mind:

Cleansing. If you are using your comfort item to help protect from negative energies, I’d recommend cleansing it frequently! 

Charging. How do you charge the magic you’ve added to your item?

Refreshing. With wards, spells, and enchantments, they tend to fade with time. When was the last time you refreshed it? 

*Risks. Physical ties for wards can be affected when the ward is attacked/broken. Do you want to risk it? Also realize that there can be multiple layers to wards, you might use your comfort item as a smaller, more specific ward. (I recommend having multiple ward layers). 

Have fun! Your comfort item is important to you, so what you do with it magically should feel good–not stressful or overwhelming!

In the original tale, the prince held two more balls after Cindy over there ran away the first time, and after the third ball, the prince decided, “You know what? Just throw some pitch on the steps! She’ll get stuck!” And she got her shoe stuck, so she pulled it off and kept running.

Since Cinderella lost one slipper, they didn’t actually fit her perfectly to begin with.
