Sure-Fire Ways to Master Your Intuition

1) Scry Half Asleep

Go to a quiet place, and dim the lights.

Close your eyes and ask your higher power a question.

Pay attention to what you see. Names… numbers… faces… dates.

Once the visions stop, open your eyes and note them down.

After a few days, see if and how they manifested.

I once saw an old clock and heard the word “Praha”. I ended up being sent to Prague on a fully paid trip unexpectedly.

At first, your visions will mean nothing. They will be shallow. A McDonald’s signage… A TV commercial… This is your intuition warming up. Soon enough, it will be sprinting. As long as you keep going.

2) Designate People to Tarot

To a beginner, the characters in tarot can feel out of reach and intimidating. Bring them down to earth.

Does Strength remind you of your mother? Is she calm and fearless in the face of danger?

Does The Fool remind you of Harry Potter? Is he young and untrained, but rich in nerve and courage?

Do you see yourself in the Seven of Pentacles? Always planting seeds that are never quite ripe enough for harvest?

The next time you read tarot, you will not be seeing strangers, but people you know by heart. This is how your intuition can connect to the cards.

3) Record Your Dreams

Keep a journal on your nightstand.

The moment you wake up, write down what you remember. No matter how meaningless, no matter how strange.

Did you see yourself naked in public? Or late for class? Perhaps falling from a building? The theme here is fear.

Did you see a younger version of yourself? In a playground? Maybe eating a snack no longer sold today? The theme is nostalgia.

Analyze your own dreams. Research them further if you like.

This is you bridging the gap between your conscious and subconscious. This is you taming your intuition.

4) Know People’s Zodiac Signs

Be curious about your teachers’, superiors’ and peers’ astrological personality, even if only through their Sun sign.

Watch how the Air signs harmonize with Fire, yet clash with Earth and Water.

See how a Scorpio is quietly strong in her intensity, while an Aries is loud with his.

Life is complicated, and people are complex. But if you can understand their basic instincts, you will make fewer foes and more friends.

More importantly, your intuition will be able to warn if a person wishes you harm.

5) Devour Literature

For all the intricacies of life, every feeling that has ever been felt has already been recorded.

See movies. Read books. Really hear the words. Really watch the gestures.

Understanding characters is a step to understanding people, which ultimately leads to understanding yourself.

It will help you realize that your intuition is not some external being that is difficult to grasp. You will find that it and you have always been one right from the start.

10 Prompts for Shadow Work

🌒 🌕 🌘

Keep track of your feelings from day to day. Record how you felt and try to pin point why you felt certain ways in different situations. How could you habe handled it better? Why did you react the way you did?

Write a letter to your past self, or your future self. Then break down your thoughts on why you said the things you did. Address any emotions that pop up during this process and record them. Why did you feel that way? What events in your life made you right what you did?

Are you living true to yourself? Are you changing who you are based on who you're around? What are those changes? Why do you make those changes?

Are you holding on to something or someone that you should let go of? Why do you hold on to it? What are steps you can take to let go of it?

What are your fears? Your REAL fears not just spiders or heights. Why are you afraid of those things? Are there any steps you can take to lessen that fear?

How do you treat the people in your life? Is there anything you could do for them to better your relationships? Are you being a positive, healthy influence on their life or are you being a toxic one? If toxic, what changes are you going to make to your behavior to stop being toxic?

What do you wish other people knew about you? Why do you keep it hidden?

Are you healing from past traumas and or incidents or have you just distracted yourself? What healthy ways could you address unhealed trauma in order to move to a healthier place?

Make a list of people you don't like. Why don't you like them? Are they actually bad or do you see bad parts of yourself reflecting in them and that's why you don't like them? Be honest.

Write down everything that happens to you in a week that makes you feel bad in any way. Examine this list and ask why certain events make you feel bad.

BONUS: Write down what you believe about a variety of things (from religion and karma all the way down to relationships and your career path). Why do you believe those things? Are these feelings set in stone or are you willing to accept alternate views? Why or why not?

Remember Shadow work is all about unlocking your subconscious. This helps you understand yourself better which is important for many different aspects in witchcraft, and your star seed will thank you for it.

˳✧༚ ☽ witchy activities to strengthen your craft & relationship with yourself ☾ ˚✧⁎

☾ perform literally any type of self care! our energy is constantly being drained either in spellwork, studying, or everyday life. you deserve it. (take a shower, drink some water, make some food, etc. don’t underestimate the power of taking care of yourself!)

☾ get some air dry clay and have fun with creating! you can make witchy items such as a pendulum, pendants, offerings, amulets to write talismans/sigils on, etc. and it’s even better because you’re making it with your own intent!

☾ when stressed, take a moment to connect with mother nature. this can be done wherever, even inside. imagine you are sitting in the grass. your roots are intertwined with those in the earth. they are giving you energy and strength. remind yourself everything is in divine timing.

☾ decorate your bos/grimoire and make it more ‘you’! remember, perfection is a completely made up term to make people overwork themselves. it doesn’t exist. what works for you, is perfect. what’s made with your hands, and your mind, is perfect.

☾ create a witchy playlist for when you’re doing spellwork/studying witchcraft! music can be incredibly uplifting. i’ve even created a witchy playlist for my blog! (check it out if you want hehe)

☾ wake up with the sun, go to sleep with the moon. have daily conversations with them both. realize they are your friends and are always there for you.

☾ record when you make mistakes magically! i know, this sounds like a nightmare to most neurodivergents. but you can use this to your advantage! you will learn from them, and eventually figure out what’s works for you and what doesn’t. knowing what works for you will empower you.

☾ carve sigils into your furniture for further protection! (and i mean your furniture, not your parents, roommates or siblings. please don’t vandalize things that aren’t yours)

☾ don’t stress yourselves out over labels. it can be fun to be this and that, but there is absolutely NO obligation to call yourself a certain type of witch! i have some witch friends that simply vibe, and practice all types. you can simply be a witch if you’d like.

☾ create your own set of rules/reminders/moral code to follow (ex. bible). although a lot of witches that i’ve met usually all follow the same type of moral code; if you’re not hurting anyone/anything, or meddling in anyone’s life, do what you please.

☾ cleanse your room/home! you’ll feel better, and sleep better. you can do this with incense, sunlight, sound, or herbs (please only use white sage if you’re native or if it has been gifted to you by a native person).

☾ don’t let ANYONE tell you how to do magic! it’s your craft! it doesn’t concern anyone else but you. if someone tries to tell you you’re doing something wrong, pay them no mind. (unless they are telling you that you are appropriating a culture, or something of the sorts then LISTEN!!!!)

The Astral Temple Meditation

The spiritual temple meditation is created to help foster your connection with your higher self. This exercise helps you to use your imagination as a tool for unlocking the truths of your subconscious mind. When we are working with energy, spirits, or the divine, our messages are delivered through psychic means from the energy sent to us from these sources. This practice helps to give a physical representation to that energy, and opens the message of that energy to conscious interpretation. With continued practice, this meditation will help you to develop your intuition, help you to speak with your guides, and allows you to create a safe place to gain clarity whenever you need it.

Spiritual Temple Meditation

Start this meditation by making sure you are in a quiet and calm area where you will not be disturbed. Give yourself time to work on this meditation and progress at your own pace. Do not force the visions you want to see, but observe them as they present themselves from your subconscious.

Make sure you are grounded, centered, and shielded.

Begin by aligning and energizing the chakras.

After these steps, start this meditation by imagining that you are floating in complete darkness.

Begin to walk forward, feel that there is solid ground beneath you and start to feel it become more present and solid as you walk forward.

As you begin to feel the ground become more solid, focus now on the darkness before you and see a spot of white light in the distance.

Keep walking towards the white light, and watch as it becomes a larger and larger circle until you pass between the darkness into the light.

Continue to walk forward, feeling the same solid ground and acknowledging that the light is not indeed solid, but occurs in bright streams.

Look between these streams of white light and see the shapes and pictures between the bright streams.

Keep walking and watching as the streams become more and more thin and see how a clear picture forms of the world of spirit you are now entering.

When you can see the world you are in clearly manifest, you will notice that you are walking straight up behind a spirit.

Observe the features of this spirit.

You can observe your spirit as it acts, from this third person perspective, or you may step into it and experience this new realm as your spirit in first person.

Notice how the vibrations of your higher self-feel, walk around your environment. This is your spiritual happy place and the dwelling place of your spirit in your subconscious mind.

Journal your experiences and feelings and the surroundings.

If you wish to go further, look for other spirits in this realm, these are your spiritual guardians.

Use this meditation to begin to build an understanding of the energies of your spirit and the guardians around you.

When you wish to ask questions of spirit, come to this space. It is a space of communion and safety! You can commune with your higher self, ancestors, or spirit guides here without fear, as it is a location sequestered just for you.

Moon Sign warnings

Aries Moon: control your jealousy and your possessiveness and you will have it all, but to control it first accept that there is this side to you, you can be the most loving person in the world but if you try to control your friends and lovers because of this love, it will only hurt everyone involved 

 Taurus Moon: consistency and tradition is nice, but changing things aren’t always going to hurt you, maybe you should try that new coffee shop your friends have been telling you to go to, your favorite old cafe will always be there, there’s nothing wrong with being careful but being too careful could stop you from becoming your best self 

 Gemini Moon: people may think you are just a meme who has no emotions at all, but you know that’s not all there is to you, you theorize your emotions and that’s completely fine, but talk to people, open up to others about how you are honestly feeling, even if you think they might not understand, because you may feel detached but those emotions are there and they can keep building up until you explode 

Cancer Moon: you are so smart but please get off your bed for once, leave your house, and talk to people, you don’t get to quietly observe everything, never making the first move to talk to others and then say you’re lonely and no one likes you, because you’re the one not giving people the chance to know you 

Leo Moon: you are special and you deserve everything, but accept that not everything is about you, work on being self-aware and how you come off to others because you must accept that you can be selfish, and in order to get the love you deserve, you have to be willing to return that love and attention 

Virgo Moon: you are so loving, but god stop being so nitpicky, yes you don’t want anything less than perfection but not everyone thinks the way you do and you need to accept that you can’t expect your loved ones to change for you, and you can’t always expect yourself to change either so stop being so damn hard on yourself, look at the situations you are in rationally and adopt a positive mindset, that may sound crazy but it will help so much 

Libra Moon: you are the sweetest thing in the world and you have amazing focus, but learn to be independent, learn to do things, to go places, to just enjoy life alone and it will take you so far, wanting to be around people is completely acceptable but by being able to regulate your need to be around people, by developing less emphasis on partnerships, you will grow so much

 Scorpio Moon: you are insane and you know this, but that doesn’t mean you have to accept it, when your emotions drive you wild please turn to someone, talk to someone you trust and love, even if it seems like they can’t do anything for you a part of you appreciates having the company so stop self-sabotaging, but also figure out the roots to these feelings and accept that they’re there and really work on them, your emotions are intense but intense doesn’t have to be bad 

Sagittarius Moon: you are so worldly but you know you play favorites, and it’s completely understandable but be careful not to hurt others when you prioritize people, and you are so honest and it’s not for everyone, don’t inhibit yourself but remember some people are emotional and you can definitely be friends with emotional people, but you have to make the conscious effort to understand them 

Capricorn Moon: you are so mature, but you are also so immature and you need to understand that not everyone is against you, people aren’t always consciously deciding to misunderstand you or hurt you in any way, so try to see where your loved ones are coming from as well, be empathetic and understanding of others and you’ll go so far but first, stop thinking only of yourself 

Aquarius Moon: you are one of kind but you are so stubborn and in the long run, it’s not going to fly, because you are human and sometimes you are wrong, if you continue to think that you are always right, you won’t grow from your mistakes and you will not be your best self 

Pisces Moon: you are beautiful inside and out, but you need to learn to control your emotions and that while you are very kind, you aren’t always the victim, stop thinking that people are doing you wrong because that’s not always the case and you can lose so much because of this
