Shielding

Psychic Shielding Visualisations

Here’s a list of psychic shielding visualizations to help protect your energy and create a strong boundary against unwanted influences. These visualizations are useful for creating energetic shields that block out negativity, drain, or harmful influences.

These visualizations offer a variety of methods to create psychic shields that block out negative or harmful influences. You can use whichever one resonates with you or mix and match them depending on your needs!

Golden Bubble Shield

Visualize a large, glowing golden bubble surrounding your entire body. This bubble repels negative energy and only allows positive, loving energy to pass through, keeping you protected and safe within.

Mirror Shield

Picture a reflective shield or sphere around you, like a mirror. Any negative energy that approaches you is reflected back to its source, while positive energy is absorbed and welcomed within the shield.

White Light Shield

Imagine a brilliant white light radiating from your heart or crown, expanding out to form a protective shield around you. This pure, divine light blocks all harmful energies while keeping you connected to higher, positive vibrations.

Elemental Shield

Choose an element (fire, water, air, or earth) and visualize it forming a protective barrier around you. A wall of flames, a flowing water vortex, a gust of wind, or a strong stone wall will create an elemental shield that protects you from harm.

Rainbow Shield

Picture a multicolored rainbow bubble surrounding you. Each color represents different layers of protection—red for grounding, orange for emotional balance, yellow for personal power, green for healing, blue for communication, indigo for intuition, and violet for spiritual protection.

Iron Fortress

Visualize an impenetrable fortress made of iron or stone surrounding you. This fortress is strong and unbreakable, keeping you safe from any external energies, attacks, or unwanted influences.

Glass Dome

Imagine yourself standing inside a clear glass dome. The dome allows you to see and interact with the outside world but protects you from any negative energies or psychic intrusions that may try to enter your space.

Shield of Feathers

Picture a soft, gentle shield made of feathers surrounding your body. The feathers absorb any negativity or harmful energy that comes your way, diffusing it before it reaches you and keeping your energy light and protected.

Spider Web Shield

Visualize a shimmering spider web around you, made of strong, fine threads. Any negativity or harmful energy that touches the web gets caught and dissolved, leaving you unharmed.

Crystal Shield

Picture a protective shield made of your favorite crystal (like amethyst, quartz, or obsidian) forming around you. The crystal's energy amplifies your protection, keeping you shielded from harmful or draining energies.

Fire Ring

Visualize a circle of protective flames surrounding you. The fire burns away any negative energy that tries to come near, purifying and protecting your energy from psychic attack or emotional drain.

Silver Armor

Imagine yourself wearing a suit of silver armor, protecting your entire body. This armor deflects any negative energy or harmful intentions directed your way, keeping you safe from psychic harm.

Moonlight Shield

Picture soft, silvery moonlight forming a shield around your body. The gentle but powerful energy of the moon creates a protective barrier, soothing and guarding you from unwanted energy or influences.

Waterfall Shield

Envision a flowing waterfall surrounding your body, acting as a shield. The water continuously washes away any negative energy or psychic attacks, leaving your energy field clear and protected.

Diamond Shield

Visualize a brilliant diamond-like structure around you. Its multifaceted surface reflects and disperses any harmful energy that approaches, while its strength and clarity provide powerful protection.

Lotus Flower Shield

Imagine a lotus flower blooming around you, its petals forming a protective shield. The flower symbolizes purity and peace, guarding you from any negativity while allowing you to remain calm and centered.

Starry Night Shield

Picture a vast starry night sky surrounding you. Each star represents a point of protection, creating an infinite shield of cosmic energy that deflects negativity and keeps you safe within your own energetic space.

Shield of Sunlight

Visualize rays of sunlight forming a protective barrier around you. The warmth and light of the sun dissolve any dark or harmful energy before it can reach you, leaving you enveloped in warmth and safety.

Electric Shield

Imagine an electric field of energy buzzing around your body. Any negative energy that comes close is zapped and neutralized by the electric charge, protecting your personal space from intrusions.

Cocoon of Silk

Visualize a cocoon made of silk threads wrapping around you. The threads are delicate yet strong, forming a protective barrier that shields you from any harmful influences while keeping your energy secure.

Violet Flame Shield

Picture a violet flame surrounding your body, burning brightly and protecting you from any negative energy or psychic attack. The violet flame transmutes negative energy into positive energy, keeping you safe and empowered.

Phoenix Wings

Envision the wings of a phoenix wrapping around you, their fiery energy shielding you from harm. The phoenix’s regenerative power protects you and helps you rise above any negative or harmful influences.

Aura Shield

Visualize your aura expanding outward, growing bright and strong. As your aura expands, it forms a protective barrier that deflects negativity, preventing any harmful energy from entering your personal space.

Holographic Shield

Picture a holographic shield that adapts to any threat, changing color and texture as needed to block negative energies. The shield responds automatically to any psychic attacks or unwanted energy, keeping you protected at all times.

Rooted Forest Shield

Envision yourself standing in the center of an ancient forest. The trees around you create a natural shield, their roots and branches intertwined to protect you from external energies, grounding you and providing powerful energetic protection.

A Prayer for Hekate

“Oh Hekate, Queen of Witches, Our Dark Mother

Be my guide 

Be my light in the dark

Enhance my faith

Open my intuition and lead me into perfection

The Moon, The Light, The Magic

Might they be a part of my craft

I am ready to open my heart, so be it.”

Understanding the Mystical Arts: Tarot vs. Oracle Cards

In the world of divination, both tarot and oracle cards hold significant places, yet they serve different purposes and tap into unique realms of the spiritual plane. Here’s a deeper look at how they differentiate and how you can harness their power effectively. 🔮✨

Tarot Cards: A Blend of Skill & Clairvoyance

Tarot reading is an art that balances both learned expertise and natural clairvoyant abilities. Here’s why:

- **Skill**: Reading tarot cards requires a deep understanding of the cards' meanings, symbolism, and the intricate connections between them. This knowledge is honed through study and practice.

- **Clairvoyance**: A gifted reader channels their intuitive and psychic abilities to interpret the messages the cards reveal, often uncovering insights that transcend the obvious.

Oracle Cards: Divine Connection to Higher Sources ✨

Oracle cards, on the other hand, are a conduit for more magical and mystical energies:

- **Higher Sources**: These cards are believed to draw guidance from higher spiritual entities such as spirit guides, ancestors, and angels, offering messages that are often more direct and less structured than tarot.

- **Magical Essence**: Oracle cards are imbued with a sense of magic that connects you to a higher plane, providing wisdom and guidance that feels otherworldly and profound.

Grounding & Protection: Essential Practices

Whether you're using tarot or oracle cards, grounding and protection are crucial for a safe and effective reading. Before diving into a session:

- **Ground Yourself**: Ensure you are centered and connected to the earth. This helps maintain balance and focus.

- **Protect Your Energy**: Use protective rituals or visualizations to shield yourself from negative energies. This ensures that you only connect with benevolent spirits and guides.

- **Trust Your Intuition**: Your intuition is your most powerful tool. If something feels off, it probably is. Trust your gut – it’s 99% foolproof!

By grounding and protecting yourself, you create a safe space for divine downloads to your third eye, allowing you to receive messages from those who wish you well. You’ll know right away if the connection is true – trust in your intuition and let it guide you through the mystical journey of divination.

Embrace the Magic & Wisdom of Both Worlds!

things my nonwitchy husband says to me:

hello, I hope you guys are good <3

my husband doesn't really believe much in these kinds of things like witchcraft, spirits, deities, etc. but ten years with me have led him to adopt certain things, especially since I started practicing witchcraft. Here are some things he told me:

yes we can buy more candles

my love, I saved the eggshells for you

here, I brought you a pomegranate for your gods

of course we can practice sex magick

your manifestation is working, exactly what you asked for happened

I was thinking about what you said about the signs and this has happened to me, do you think it's a sign?

wow those tarot cards of yours are crazy how do they know that?

I'm not going to let you put any crystals under my pillow proceeds to sleep like a baby with 4 under him

I wanted to come share this because I think it's cute, I hope everyone is having a nice wednesday. blessed<3

😭😭😭😭

MIDNIGHT’S GIFT

(A cosmic spell for clairvoyance, to be preformed during midnight)

Oh what was gifted to me,

On that midnight hour,

Something clear,

To see the dark,

On that witching hour.

Connecting with Gods and Deities

Hello, My name is Alva Tauri! I am an herbalist, spirit worker, tarot and oracle reader, and lunar and herbal witch dedicated to closing the education gap when it comes to herbalism and witch practices!

Today, I wanted to talk about ways in which I connect with the Gods and deities I worship in my life, to aid new witches in this task in their day to day practice. I believe that we oftentimes overcomplicated this part of our practice and that can make this task seem overwhelming and daunting when, in reality, connection can be simple.

I want to gear this post towards my new witches who do not fully grasp the concept yet or don't yet have an altar, as well as my fellow neurodivergent, mentally ill, and/or chronically ill witches who may find this task daunting for other reasons (I.E. low physical, low mental energy, physical pain, etc.) A portion of this post will be dedicated to low energy ways to connect with your Gods and/or deities to make your practice a bit easier.

Let's get started!

Day to Day Connections

it can be difficult to remember to do rituals or sit at our altar intentionally in our busy lives. here are some tasks you can do within minutes every single day to connect with your Gods and/or deities - great for days that are hectic or with minimal free time:

light a candle and simply say thank you

offer the meal or snack that you made to them

offer your drink to them

bit them goodmorning and goodnight

thank them for the things you enjoy throughout your day

dedicate a cleaning task to them (I.E. vacuuming, doing laundry, etc.)

cleanse your space spiritually and dedicate that task to them (I.E. sage burning, incense, etc.)

Altar-less Connections

we were all new or closeted witches at one point in our lives. none of us started with an altar and a fancy set up with all the tools we needed. here are some ways that you can connect with your Gods and/or deities without an altar:

read about your Gods and/or deities myths and legends

spend some time meditating and simply thinking about them

wear their colors as symbols

make a digital offering to them online

write poetry for them

pray to them

make a playlist for them and listen to it

talk to them about your day (this can be in your head if you are closeted. you do not have to pray out loud for them to hear you. they are always with you and supporting you)

Low Energy Connections

for my fellow neurodivergent, chronically ill, and/or mentally ill witches, here is a section full of little ways you can connect with your Gods and/or deities on rough days that leave you with low mental or physical energy:

pray from the comfort of your bed (they will know you mean this with good intentions. they will not be offended. trust me.)

talk to them about your day

dedicate your self-care routine (no matter how short or long it is) to your Gods and/or deities

offer them your food or drink - this can be as simple as offering them a glass of water if that is all you have the energy to get in that moment

light a candle or incense in their honor (I recommend incense if you are feeling truly exhausted, as you can leaving it burning without any major repercussions, unlike a candle)

dedicate a moment of rest to them (I.E. sleeping, taking a nap, even just taking a moment to sit in silence and rest your body and mind)

make a playlist for them and listen

make a post or pinterest board in their honor

Advanced, More Time Consuming Methods of Connection

on days that you have the time and the energy and are feeling a calling to make a bigger grand gesture, here are some tasks I like to do at my altar. NOTE: you do not have to do these everyday or even every week. if you feel a calling to do this, then do. if you do not, then these are not required. remember, at the end of the day you know your relations with your Gods and/or deities better than anyone else. trust your gut and your intuition:

COMING SOON!

That's all for connections with your Gods and/or Deities! I hope that you found this helpful in your spiritual journey and I hope that you are able to apply this information to your practice.

if you have any questions regarding anything discussed here or anything you feel that I have missed, please send an ask to my ask box! I appreciate all comments and questions!

For more information on my practice, witchcraft, herbalism, spirit work, and divination please check out the guide on my page (linked here)! Everything I have ever posted can be found there!

I wish you all a blessed day filled with peace, endless wealth, and eternal health! Until the next time we meet!

Pick a card - Message from Lilith 🦉

Inspired by the previous reading on how to make some changes in your life, I invited Lilith the mother monster to give us some guidance to live a better, freer, more independent life.

As expected, some of the messages are HEAVY. If you're not ready for heavy messages, this reading may not be for you. I put trigger warning on the parts I mentioned potentially triggering topics. You can skip those parts if you don't want to see them.

As this is a general reading, please take what resonates and leave the rest behind. You may also tone down the intensity of the messages by yourself if the general ideas of the message still apply to you.

I hope this reading can help you live a more honest and fulfilling life. Even when some of the messages are harsh, Lilith and I deliver them with the intention of improving your situation, and bringing positivity to you.

👇🏻 Pick a butterfly that you felt drawn to 👇🏻

And find the corresponding reading for you below!

Pile 1

Lilith wants you to be more selfish. It seems that you're pouring too much of your energy on others. You're so quick to react to people's wishes, opinions, expectations, etc. You're a people pleaser, and you believe you can find happiness in people's compliments. However, Lilith wants to remind you that you're sacrificing your own personal development for the happiness you're getting. The more time you spend on thinking about what to do for the people, the less time you spend on thinking what to do for yourself. The more time you spend on thinking what people want from you, the less time you spend on thinking what you really want for yourself. These are the two tasks that cannot be performed at the same time, so Lilith really wants you to evaluate if what you're doing really worth the amount of happiness you're getting for return.

Some of you may become a people pleaser because of past traumas. Some of you may do it just because you believe that you shouldn't change something that's working in the past. But Lilith wants to remind you that you can never find the one that truly loves you or care about you, if what you're showing to people is not your authentic self. The thing you're working so hard to get love from people is the one thing that blocks you from being loved by people, isn't it a bit pathetic?

Lilith wants to invite you to discover what you truly desire, and just do the things that you enjoy. The process of digging through your heart to find your true self, and the experience of being a "villain" is tedious, painful, and even terrifying at first. But Lilith wants to tell you that it will worth the hard work, and she also wants to remind you that it's literally the only way to find true love and happiness.

Toss your worry behind, and start making real progress now. You will find sorrow within you, you will feel bad for a while, but those are difficulties that you can solve. If you don't face them, they will never be solved. Lilith also wants to tell you that making yourself happy is actually so much easier than making others happy, because you know exactly what you're thinking. It is a harsh truth that you can never know what others truly thinking about you no matter how much effort you pour into investigating it.

Lilith also wants me to tell you that The Emperor card was drawn in this reading. It may be meaningful for you, or the meaning of the card can be inspiring for you. A message I want to add personally is, "Your family can make you a king, but only you can make yourself a conqueror, and you don't need the help of your family, or even anyone else to do that."

Pile 2

You're suffering. Lilith wants you to acknowledge the fact that you're suffering (more specifically, a victim), instead of trying to tell yourself that everything is fine. You cannot right the wrongs if you never acknowledge the fact that there's something wrong happening. Stop fighting with yourself in your mind. Start working on the same goal. Even if it takes you time to plan, or just to pin point what is truly important to you, it's so much better than wasting your time and energy to work on nothing. You have to understand that performing meaningless actions will not lead to any progress, even if you're doing something.

!!! TW: SEXUAL ASSAULT!!!

Lilith also want me to talk about sexual trauma here, so I will talk about it in the next paragraph. Skip it if you are not comfortable with this topic.

I can see that some of you may be harmed by someone that you really looked up to, like a lover that you paid so much efforts in getting their heart. I can also see that you may be shamed by a group of friends, or just people in general about your sexuality. It may be related to the harm that you suffered, or not. You believe that it is your fault, because it seems to be impossible for others to be wrong, especially when the one who harmed you is a person that you really looked up to. But Lilith wants to remind you that denying your worth, denying the truth of what happened, will not make the wound magically disappear. Time can heal your wounds, but you have to allow yourself walk away from the past. This can only be done when you stop building a cocoon of lies, so you can sleep in a dream that everything is ok. Acknowledge the fact that you're the victim. It may not help with the situation, as it had already happened. But changing your perspective can really help you to vent out the emotions trapped within you. When the toxicity starts to be drained from the system, it'll be so much easier for you to heal, and invite happiness and confidence you always deserve to enter your life.

//

Lilith feels that your life is stuck because you're denying the fact that people did you wrong. It's like you're trying to balance the two sides of the scale, while there's nothing on one side. It's a mission impossible until you put something on the other side, which is putting yourself into the equation. Before this, you're just doing nothing but wasting your time. Lilith wants you to start putting yourself first. You may believe that it's so foolish to only think about yourself, or even believe that it is harmful for people. But Lilith wants to tell you that you can go full force on being selfish because this is how imbalanced the scale is right now.

Lilith admires that you have a logical mind, and likes to use this side of you to solve problems. You want to solve problems in the best way possible, and that's why Lilith wants to remind you that you have left yourself out of the equation. Remember, you're a good person no matter what you do, because this is the nature of you. You're an angel so please don't ever make yourself live in hell again.

Pile3

Wow! Lilith thinks that you're slaying! You're doing great so please take this reading as a confirmation that you should continue to shine and glow. If you're still considering if you should show yourself off to the world, do this right now because you're so flawless! You're amazing even when you're in your worst days. Some days you can be messy, but you're still a beautiful (hot) mess. Continue to radiate your energy, and great things will come to you.

Sometimes you may think that you're impulsive, and always let your intrusive thoughts win. But Lilith wants you to admire this aspect of you. Not only you have the ability to carry out your intrusive thoughts so beautifully, the work you are doing is also very inspiring to people. Your honesty makes people rethink about the values they're following. Some of them may not agree with you, but you still inspire them to think about why they still believe in what they believe. Please continue to follow your heart and do what you're doing. If you're scared that things you want to do may offend people, Lilith wants you to throw the fear away and do the thing right now. Also, if you're an introvert, Lilith wants you to show yourself to the people more. Engaging in more social activities can lead to more positive energies flowing into your life!

For some of you, especially the feminine ones, you have great skills in dealing with men. Men can't help but fall in love with you, and treat you like the queen you are. You have a mesmerizing way to interacting with men, making even the most "aggressive" man become a kitty for you and do what you want them to do. Lilith loves what she sees and wants you to keep up the good work 🦉👍🏻 or be more confident in yourself and start using your talent if you're not doing the good work yet.
