TIPS O F TH E TAROT 1) PLAYING CARDS FOR PRACTICE: If you’re new to Tarot and don’t have one handy, or you want to learn before spending the money, playing cards can be used. Play- ing cards are handy in helping a young witch to learn and practice interpreting the numbers and suit. However, as playing cards only have 52 cards in a deck, it is highly recommended that once you’re comfortable with interpretation; you purchase a tarot deck that you are drawn to. 2) COMMON TAROT DECKS When buying a tarot deck, ensure that you feel drawn to it. For a beginner, ensure that your first deck has 78 cards. The 78 cards make up the 22 major and 56 minor arcana. Some of the common decks that are popular for beginners are: - The Raider- Waite Deck. This deck is the most common across the globe. The illustrations are simple and are designed to help young witches the art of tarot reading. - The Angel Oracle Deck This deck is perfect for those who know names and representations of angels and archangels. This will make it easier for witches to understand the meaning as each card has an illustration of an angel and their significance. - Renaissance Tarot Deck This deck is illustrated of Gods and Goddess from Greece, including their Roman counterparts. If you love and know your ancient history, you will be easily to interpret witch God/Goddess is speaking to you through the cards. 3) CLEANSE AND BOND WITH YOUR DECK We know it sounds weird, but it is totally worth it. It is said in alot of pop culture such as Harry Potter or The Worst Witch, that magic is not just about tools or words. It is also about feelings. You need to be drawn to the tarot and also feel a connection to it. This connection can be done in many ways, but the most common way is to have the deck close by as you sleep. Cleansing the deck is also important before every use. This can be done by knocking on your deck three times before each use. When you are done place a crystal of your choice on the deck to cleanse negative energy. 4) CARD SPREADS Thinking of the Tarot? You may want to rush and learn the big spreads such as the Celtic cross. Before you do so, start with a three- card spread. This spread is very simple and helps you understand how to focus on the meaning of each card, as well the interpreta- tion when putting all three together. The list below shows what a 3-card spread can show and represent: - Past/ Present/ Future - Now/ Later/ Distant Future - Head/ Heart/ Spirit - Strength/ Weakness/ Advice - Stop/ Start/ Continue - You/ Path/ Potential 6 Photo by Clifford Photography on Unsplash

5) Illustrations 12 3 A common mistake when it comes to Tarot, is that witches Three-card tarot spread tend to focus on the suit and number. It is important to know however, that trying to understand the interpretations can be difficult for a beginner. As you learn through your new tarot deck, interpret the illustrations first. As you lay out the cards, ask yourself these questions: - What do their facial expressions show? - Are they in a relationship? - If so, what kind of relationship, romantic, friendly or family? - Are the cards facing each other? - How are they looking at each other? Is it with love or distaste? - What is their body language saying? - Why is their body facing that way? - Is the Queen of Cups rolling her eyes? Tarot cards are a lot simpler to interpret and understand for what each card represents. In most of the cards, they will show illustrations of everyday life. The body language and position- ing are what you do, this is where you interpret and understand why the cards chose you. DOUBLE TROUBLE, TOIL AND BUBBLE Cauldrons $99.90 7

Make Your Own Witch Jars Luck Jar Photo by Katherine Hanlon on Unsplash A Witch Jar is mostly common with green and eclectic witches. However, they are useful and easy to create no matter whether you are new to the craft or have been practicing for years. A Luck Spell jar can only be used once. One jar = one wish. This is best made early in the morning as the sun rises. To make a luck spell jar you will need: - A clear mason jar - 2x acorns - Basil leaves - Nutmeg powder - Cinnamon sticks - Jasmine flower - One Citrine crystal - White or green candle wax - Protection salt (optional) 1. Ensure that all ingredients are dried. This will prevent the glass and ingredients becoming mouldy. 2. Wash the jar. The jar needs to be cleaned and dry. We don’t want any negative energy! 3. Add the citrine first. Add the herbs in the listed order and as you do, whisper and visualise your energy going into the jar. 4. Lastly to finish the luck jar, seal the lid with candle wax. Place the jar on a windowsill, where it can be charged by the sun. Protecton Salt Salt is the most common important ingredient for a witch. It does not matter what type of witch you are, whether you are a divina- tion or a green witch, it is important to always have salt on hand. Protection salt can be used on its own or in a spell like the Luck jar. It is best used in a witch’s ball to hang on top of doors or placed in jars as gifts to loved ones. In a witch’s ball, herbs/ ingredients that could be included are: Acorn, basil, bay, birch, gardenia, geranium, heather, holly, mistletoe and lemon. For a full list of ingredients, head to our website. To make your own protection salt, you will need: - Clear Jar - Kosher salt - Rosemary - Dill - Black pepper - Amethyst (optional) 1. Ensure all ingredients are dry. The jar must also be clean and dry. 2. Place the amethyst in the bottom of the jar. The amethysts is a the crystal of protection which can enhance the witch jar. 3. Mix the herbs and salt in a mortar. Pour the mixture into the jar seal with candle wax. Keep the jar near a window or an exit. 8

Banishing Jar This banishing jar can be made in preparation for a banishing or commanding spell, or to banish and illness of sorts. To make this witch jar, you will need: - A glass mason jar - Apple cider vinegar, enough to fill the jar - Lavender flower - Garlic cloves - Sage leaves - Peppermint leaves - Rosemary sprig - Thyme sprig - Just a pinch of black pepper 1. Clean the jar and leave it until it is completely dry. 2. Add all dry ingredients to the jar. You can add crystals if you believe they are of importance for this spell. 3. Fill the jar with the vinegar and seal the lid with candle wax. 4. Shake the jar and store the jar in a cool, dark place. 5. Shake the jar every day for three weeks. Once the three weeks is up, strain the apple cider vinegar and keep the contents in the jar. It can now be used for spellcasting.
