Happy Autumn Equinox/Mabon!

Mabon, also known as the Autumn Equinox, is the time for harvest and reaping what you have sown. The Autumn Equinox is also the day when there is equal light and dark. Before this day, the hours of daylight is more than the hours of night, and after this day, the hours of night will be more than the hours of daylight. Mabon has been appropriately called “The Witch’s Thanksgiving”. As it is the time for bountiful harvest, having a feast with friends and family, and giving thanks for the food and company, is the perfect way to celebrate […]

How to use the Pendulum as a Divination tool.

A pendulum can be anything; whether it is a pendant on a necklace or a nail on a piece of string, it can work for you as long as your intentions are clear. To communicate with your pendulum, first make sure that it is motionless, then ask it to show you which direction it will move for “yes” and which direction for “no”. General response of a pendulum (from the Wizards Tarot handbook by Corrine Kenner): Yes – up and down No – back and forth (left and right) Maybe – diagonally from the lower left to the upper […]

The Challenges and Rewards of Being A Tarot Reader

Recently I came across this brilliant post, Ten Things to Never Say to Your Tarot Reader, about the ignorant and disrespectful statements some people have made to tarot readers. I’ve been pretty lucky in that most people I’ve read for have been wonderful people who genuinely seek answers, but there have been a few I’ve come across that have been disrespectful. Once, someone even said that I probably use the readings to scare my clients into buying protection spells or talismans or some other such thing! If I was that kind of witch, I would’ve already put a curse on him. […]

Intuition – Is it real? Does it really work?

The first “divination” practice I ever learned was palmistry, and believe it or not, my father was my teacher. The reason I put the word divination between quotation marks is because the practice I learned was less guesswork and more science. Science because once you learned the theory, it can be replicated with every single hand you ever come across, and the results will always be the same. IE. if a particular trait on a particular spot meant something, it means the same thing in every hand you see. (Later on in one of my psychology classes in college, I […]
