Created a new form of Astromancy using dice, a flat piece of pyrite, and a semicircle of hematite. You toss dice and the pyrite and hematite indicates what sign to use and if a planet is being used or not. You cast the reading by tossing the dice ten times to determine which signs correspond to which of the planets that are in the person’s natal chart. An assessment is then made and fortunes can be told.

Happy Vernal Equinox, everybody! May Spring usher in the change we’ve all been envisioning. Don’t settle for less this year. Only aim for the highest nebula of stars. Every single person who told you that you weren’t good enough, that you couldn’t, or that you would never make it— today, realize that they were wrong. With the Sun in Pisces and the Moon in Cancer, we push back blockages with a stampeding force of wisdom, material transcendence, concentration, willpower, and the strength of a mother in labor. This Vernal Equinox has fallen under Pisces, so let our new year be full of divinity, spirituality, and an intelligent, intuitive backbone. We are the genius we’ve been seeking, we only have to have the internal courage to push past our fears and succeed in shining waves of expressive color!
The double water astrology, along with the earth symbolism of Spring represents establishing the foundation for the passions which are most tender to us. Don’t let them be the fleeting thoughts that you belittle in yourself. Believe in yourself to have the highest strength to achieve anything you set your soul to! Today, enjoy friends, enjoy family, and enjoy the world. Be grateful for a new year, clean out your mental closets, clean your house, do some yard work if possible, and welcome in the positive spirits of Spring with ceremonial incense, such as Frankincense, Sage, Lavender, or Jasmine.
Happy Ostara, Eostre, Easter, Spring, Vernal Equinox, etc. :)
Here’s a formal excerpt from The Fool’s Journey in image format to show how I envision it appearing in the book.
New Malachite Ring. In love. Thanks “Those Nature People” in Frankenmuth, MI and Mama Earth! #pagan#wiccan#witch#occult#esoteric#magic#mysticism#paganism#witchcraft#spellcraft#dream#altar#deity#psychic#tarot#malachite#spirit#metaphysical#lightworker#newage#oldage#celtic#egyptian#norse#greek#motherearth#crystals#metaphysical (at Those Nature People)
So this is my last time commenting on this because, I am not a social justice blogger, I am a witchcraft blog.
But here are my final thoughts on the matter of Pagans and Racism, and Culture appropriation.
So there is this lovely trend among pagans lately that it’s okay to be racist towards white people but not another race, which is incredibly untrue.
You can’t say that white people are racist because of the actions of people who are dead over the past 200 hundred years. You can’t use slaves as a reason to justify being racist towards white people. Why? Every single fucking race has owned slaves at one point in their history.
Would it be okay for all Jewish people to hate black people because of the actions of Egypt? I don’t think so.
So how about everyone just stops playing the race card. It’s not racist to learn about another person’s culture, it’s not racist to not be sexually attracted to a certain race, it’s not racist to call yourself xyx because most people call themselves witches when in fact that is a English term, and can be called bullshit for people practicing forms of magick that are not inherently English. You wanna start saying people can’t call themselves something, then you better be practicing something to a god damn fucking t in your fucking culture. By that I mean you better be practicing African forms of magick- straight from Africa- not voodoo or hoodoo, you better be a shinto fucking priest is you are Japanese, or a god damn English witch or wizard, or a native american shaman. You better be practicing only what they do if you wanna tell someone they can’t not call themselves xyz. Because if you are not you are a hypocrite.
One thing people need to stop doing also, is talking on the behalf of other races. No, stop, no. You have to grounds, no right to talk for another race. Stop rebloging pics of headdresses and telling a 13 year old hipster shes a racist bitch. No, you are not spreading love and acceptance or teaching, you are being a racist bitch back at her.
I am European mut, I have a good portion of English, German, and Native American genes in me, along with some minor parts of Irish and possibly spanish. My great grandmother was a full blooded Cherokee native American, so if I want to practice Cherokee practices I can, but wait there’s more. If I was a full blooded English man I could practice those traditions as well.
There is nothing wrong with someone of another race practicing something, there’s not. if that’s the case then why is okay for a good portion of the black community to practice Christianity? That is not their culture’s religious beliefs until the English brought it over.
People need to stop spreading hate, you are not helping anyone but making yourself look pathetic and sad. If you don’t want to believe it’s okay for someone of another race practicing xyz then make sure your own stuff is 100% accurate to your culture’s religious practice, then just ignore when a white girl wears a headdress, it won’t affect you at all, it also won’t make a difference if you yell and curse at them.
Every single witchcraft blog I have seen, has had more then one culture’s influence on what they practice, or at least they reblog stuff that do. I can’t speak for the pagans because I am not longer part of their racist, elitist club, but i know for the witchcraft community we are trying to either spread our knowledge, and/or learn from other people’s knowledge.
The act of blaming white people is no different from the kkk blaming black people. It’s a form of a hate, something I don’t like to do is hate a general thing, like a race, gender, sexual orientation.
Again this is all from a witch, that is tired of the racism going around in this “community”.
I already have a list of expositions regarding her and all the ego and hypocrisy. This is a great addition! Might I add?
AnonymousI’m not required to be nice anymore, especially to people who attack me. As I’ve already explained, and if you were able to comprehend what now I’m dealing with (the onslaught of hatemail), then you’d understand that as an activist, I have a wonderful opportunity at educating people with what intelligence I have on the topic at hand. I may not know everything the world/universe has to offer, but what I do know is that I have a right to participate in this world’s education because I care about what misinformation and hatred gets out there. Hatred is more contagious than love, which I’ve once explained the reason being here. I’d rather not keep hearing the lethargic excuse, “Life sucks, society sucks, life isn’t fair,” etc, because quite frankly, none of it’s true, it only seems true because people are too afraid at exposing others’ ego and hatred, which I’m not.
I have the divine right to defend and protect myself. I’ll use the old cliché to explain this. If an intruder enters the home of a Buddhist man, such a spiritual holy man who teaches love, compassion, peace, and kindness, that man has a right to protect his property and his family by all means. Also, I wonder, have you ever researched the Hindu goddess Kali? She has a great cosmology and mythology depicting the many shades of Kindness and Humility. Hinduism, one of the oldest cultures in the world, has done a great job at spreading spirituality across the world.
I understand that “culture appropriation” happens, such as when it is wrongly practiced or recalled historically, but it’s not so racist, hateful, hypocritical, and full of hubris as the majority of the Tumblr ranters here. So thus it is completely culture-appropriating when people defend a culture that they are no ambassador for and taint its culture of divine spirituality with their racism, hatred, and ego. The hypocrisy is staunchly abundant for all to see who aren’t blind hatemongers. The way many people on Tumblr try to re-appropriate these appropriated cultures is exactly like me speaking on behalf of my entire country, The Unites State of America, that we don’t like France. Does this mean that it’s true? Am I the speaker of every person in this country? If the government sure isn’t my ambassador, I’m sure not.
Buddhism also has done a great job at spreading spirituality across the world, even insisting that the world could be transformed evolutionarily through its culture and practice. Quite funny how almost every major culture center has freely supplied its culture in word, song, book, and festivity for all to participate because these cultures have recognized that we are one species, one love. I’d also love for you to read what I think about bullies as well as the “culture appropriation” hubris floating around Tumblr.
Delusion and Grandeur are viruses of the ego, my friend, and I merely have no problem administering the cure when someone approaches me with idiocy. I’m no longer required to be nice to abusive people such as her, her friends, others, or you. I’ve played the quiet occultist on Tumblr for too long.
As for the assumptions you’ve thrown at me, I’d like to refer you to The Four Agreements, they’re tenets of the Spiritual Warrior. Good stuff. So, if you’ve been an active listener, read all my side links, and you fully comprehend my approach, then you’ll hopefully see my point of view. Until then, I wish you the best in your own expositions.
I also discovered this from sisoula’s page, which I found you admitting to her that you’re basically a bully, like her. Anybody can find plenty more evidence from Sisoula’s actions, thoughts, and words on her blog which further paint her in the light I’ve exposed her to be under.
Here’s what you said to her:
I’ve been following your interactions with that jackass cedargrass. I’ve poked him a bit and he’s really pathetic. I think he’s some kind of malignant narcissist and told him so. I expect a fifty paragraph post telling me why he’s not and patting himself on the back for being such a great guy. I’m on anon because frankly I’m just a clueless white woman trying to unlearn her privilege and I lurk on your page because you’re awesome. Not looking for props or recognition. Just giving you solidarity.
Sisoula: Thanks for the solidarity!!!! Thanks for trying to collect even if there no hope. You great:)
I’m pathetic, yet you’re a self-loathing causian female sycophant who’s trying to impress someone who has brainwashed you into being ashamed of being white. I love how you admit to being a clueless white girl, yet you call me pathetic, even though your “pokes” had absolutely no wit or substance. It’s always great to see such solidarity, even if it’s made of the false sense of pride that comes from ego. Tweedledum and Tweedledee. But you, this clueless white girl were right, weren’t you? I am such a great guy, aren’t I? Let me go find my vanity mirror and admire how awesome I am while being racist for the sole reason of being a white person.
I’ve suddenly had an epiphany! I’m only free being an appropriating, pathetic, “shitstain” of a white person from Sisoula’s perception if only I bow down to her like you, Cluessless White Woman, as one of her brainwashed acolyte sycophants. Let’s face it, your own hateful words are as wasteful as the hatred she spews. I wish you maturity, ego-destruction, education, and love. You really need it, kindred soul.
Meet Goddess Kali, the Hindu goddess of time, the night, darkness, and destruction. She is the dark materialization of the Divine Feminine principle, a consort of Lord Shiva, and she is literally the energy which he uses in his destruction, for she is the recreation thereafter. She is a wild-haired, disturbing, destructive, naked, bloodthirsty goddess who enjoys most slaying her enemies. She never stops for she is limitless, abundantly supplied with the eternal dance of action. This symbolically represents her quest to seek out all darkness. She is literally the personification of a black hole. What does she destroy, might one wonder? Why is she revered all over India by millions? Out of fear, or loving respect? Kali is a humble, compassionate goddess, and although she bears the severed limbs of her enemies and a decapitated head whose mouth spoke too much ego, they merely convey to all enemies of the Light what fate they will incur should they cross her, she is a righteous deity, for she is the slayer of sin, ego, ignorance, and moral corruption. She is the protector of truth and justice.
She once slayed two demons in the company of Lord Shiva, which she salivated in draining the beasts’ bodies of all their blood and joyfully danced to the slaughter. It was then that she realized that she was dancing on Shiva, killing him with her bloodlust psychopathy. She had suddenly slowed down for she had gotten carried away and spared his life. As ferocious and cutthroat as this dark goddess can be, she is a divine mother who loves affectionately her children to follow her faithfully, and serve to practice her sense of spiritual principles, righteousness, and the deliverance of Justice.
Her specialty is differentiating between deception in who is truest, almost similar to the Egyptian weighing of the heart and the feather in the halls of Ma’at. She is a destroyer, a warrior, the fiercest of all, one to never be crossed, but still the divine softness, love, and compassion of Parvati, the divine mother. Kali is a protector, an ally, to all that is righteous from sin and the indulgence of material ignorance. She only seeks to improve humanity with love and compassion through her violent acts of destruction.
By praying to her with honor and sacred respect, Kali will come to you and absolve all of your fears into fleeting thoughts. By connecting with the night, by becoming the night, she embraces you, and your fears of the night are forgiven, and destroyed. Your ego is forgiven and destroyed. Your sins have been forgiven and destroyed.
Being writing for a few hours now, revising, and adding more to ‘Major Arcana Overview.’ Finished ‘Major Arcana Patterns,’ and I still have the last four cards to write on ‘The Fool’s Journey.’ The entire chapter alone is 26,283 words. My gosh!
Total words count now for the whole book is 95,719 words! :) ♥
Here’s an excerpt to share in my excitement.
III. What is Divination?
“Anyone who would have practiced these forms of divination would be known today as the blanket term psychic and the psychic’s method would be called a tool, but they would have been called a -mancer in the old world, which is a Latin or Greek suffix meaning “the divination of.” A person who reads the cards would be academically called a cartomancer, a person who reads the runes could be called a cleromancer, a palmist could be called a chiromancer, and a person who gazes or sees into an object such as a crystal ball would be called a scryer.
“The enchantment in divination is not only in its study, fascination, and practice, but its ability to be newly established out of creative chaos. For example, I was in the fruit and vegetable market the other day to pick up some snacks for the evening before I met a friend for breakfast when I noticed a Macintosh apple that had a peculiar scar on it. It was a thick, curving line that originated at the base of the apple’s bottom and went outward. To me, this had been a sign, something significant for me to know that day. I had pondered the thought. I couldn’t extract much from the shape of the scar other than thinking of a worm. I recalled the symbolism of a worm, but I had felt it wasn’t applicable to my day. I pondered more until an idea had been formed. What if there were other apples that had scars in peculiar shapes or fixed symbols that one could read as a form of divination? I looked and saw some, but I wasn’t interested. I had no reason to dismiss the idea but actually adopt the idea and try it again. I realized that the ring around the apple wasn’t a symbol for me to understand but merely a catalyst for thought.”
Anonymous“Invoke the Gods: Exploring the Power of Male Archetypes” by Kala Trobe looks promising. Amazon reviews look very fair and detailed. According to the research, the book has great base material with which any occultist/pagan/wiccan/etc can alter slightly to fit their traditions. I say this because everyone slightly alters Neo-Paganism, because well, we really don’t know much of how the ancients honored the gods. We only know through anthropology, archaeology, and so on, about how they may have practiced some things. Based on the reviews, I recommend the book, though I haven’t personally read it. They way I connect to gods is through meditation and attunement through the study of history. My rites may not always be historically accurate, but they don’t have to be. Magic and Occultism operates on intent, not organized procedures, though they have their place— but that’s getting into the duality of chaos vs. order magic.

“Wicca Spellcraft For Men” by A.J. Drew was a great book, however! It goes in depth about how to practice Wicca from a male’s point of view, and it can really help set the tone for a struggling male who seeks balance in the sometimes goddess-oriented areas of Wicca and Neo-Paganism. Hope that helps. :)
What I sent to this page and was flagged as spam. This page is posting spells and making a mockery of the neo-pagan/wiccan communities, as well as rootworkers and witches [who aren’t hellbent on ego].
“I hope you and your followers know morally that this is the corruption of Free Will.
If one was meant to do something or be something, magic doesn’t need to be made. That would defeat the purpose of Free Will and Destiny; it was meant to happen. We cannot alter the freedom of cosmos, but we attempt to influence it. Such still leaves room for Free Will to be exercised.
Teaching Dark Magic, especially involving Love, is dangerous, negligent, and irresponsible. A lot of you people need to learn a thing or two before you do witchcraft if you think these spells are appropriate.
You can’t use magic to interfere with one’s Free Will. To do so would be disrespectful, naïve, karmic, and immoral.
The fact that this page has 25,000 likes and is called “The Craft of The Wise” and is handing out silly spells (of Dark/Black Magic) to people who probably don’t know any better is highly alarming.
And to the people who flagged my original posts, shame on you. This page should be shut down if it keeps posting silly spells that will have some highly serious karmic repercussions.”
UPDATE: To make it very clear, I’m not Wiccan nor do I follow its rede because I would be Wiccan. I am a Neo-Pagan-based Mystic with a lot of other influences coming in. I would follow its rede by coincidence, as both the rede and my background concur on the Divine Principles of Justice. This post wasn’t meant to scold or dictate how people are supposed to conduct themselves as people should know right from wrong. Magic is metaphysical so often people forget that just because its beyond the physical, there are no rules or consequences. Yes, there are, no loop hole for you. If you stab someone, expect punishment. The same goes for magic. If you do dark magic, expect Karma to greet you. Karma isn’t a belief you can opt out of for immunity like a superstition. It’s a Universal Force which stills affects you just like how if you choose not to believe in gravity, it’ll still be there. You cant go around doing whatever you want and expect for it to be ok. That would be childish.
People should know by common sense that casting a spell to get revenge is the same as punching someone in the face. There are consequences to all of our actions. People with any common sense or morals should know that doing a love spell to make someone love you is the same as kidnapping them, tying that person to a chair, and never letting them go even though they don’t like you and have a desire to leve. If some of you don’t have a moral compass that is geared to Supreme/Divine Love, Karma, Free Will, and Justice, shame on you.
Since I was little, around two-years-old, I have experienced the paranormal through many encounters, especially when I reached psychic maturity around my teens and began to discover my gifts. I can recall one of the earliest memories of walking in the woods behind my grandmother’s house, conversing with the spirits that were there. I know now that what we call imaginary friends for children were actually spirits of the deceased. Among paranormal encounters with the dead, I have also had inexplicable supernatural and metaphysical phenomena happen to me such as light bulbs exploding, otherworldly beings contacting me, deities whispering in my ears, being the medium for communication between the living and the dead numerous times, omens with revealing information, premonitions, receive prophesies, magical spells working, and cars lighting up on fire when angered.
I had my first awakening, among a few along my path thus far, when I was about ten or eleven years of age. I can remember walking in a field by my lonesome, almost intuitively led at the time by an unknown force acting upon my free will. I was magnetically lured into this field behind my Ypsilanti, MI apartment complex, a field that myself and my brother knew as thoroughly as a bird would know the sky. In this arena of grass, trees, old playground equipment, soil, and memories both embarrassing and exhilarating, I felt a pulsation emanating from the earth below my feet, coursing up into my body and becoming the primary focus of my mind. This strange emanation filled my vessel and a whispering of an ancient being whisked into my ears, yet also came from within. It was Mother Earth, though I had no clue at the time. During this fabled experience on my road to discovery, along with prior being introduced to the realm of witchcraft through the 1996 film “The Craft,” I had became fully aware of a dimension that coexisted with the one I grew up in: The realm of Spirit. This entire experience was the essence of The Hanged Man tarot card.
Here is a thorough Example Spread on how I interpret the cards.
Rows
Pluto being the astrological planet famous of sex, life, death, and rebirth is the facilitating energy that slowly yet patiently guides you on your path to worldly evolution within and externally for life. Its powerful transformative energy digs deep and expresses large that which oftentimes people fear as subjects in life. Because of Pluto’s revolutionary command over the psychological and spiritual mind, he teaches one how to become the essential goal of the higher self.
He is the rigid tough-love-incorporating mentor who expects much but leaves no one behind. No matter the feat, Pluto is the soldiering push that keeps you along in life. When you’re at a point in a relationship, career, or going in your life that needs this type of attention and truly regenerative focus, work with Pluto, but be humbly disposed for his energy is a dramatic upheaval that surrenders your deepest fears to be destroyed in the face of the Ego that must accept the whims of the heart. Here you let go of these defenses to become a better person in regards to the grand struggles of life.
Requirements
Gather ingredients, cast circle, invoke Pluto, offer wine or cakes if desired, create oil in his honor and express gratitude to take up being his student (really, your own student). Make the oil in whichever chronological order you please but declaring the intentions of each ingredient being used.
Take a moment to talk with Pluto in asking him what your intentions are for this oil, whether it’s the need to be less manic depressed, learn how to speak less, stop being addicted to materialism, or have your boyfriend finally learn to be more adult-like.
On the label, add an expiration date just in case you feel the effects are too strong or that you feel you’re getting in deeper than expected. As a final end to the ritual, declare the oil blend into creation, declare when it will expire, who can use it as directed on the label, and then shake it three times to activate it.
Evoke Pluto and uncast circle. Apply the oil on his days of Monday and Saturday or daily if you prefer. Expect big, life-altering changes for the best in regards to your soul path in perception of reality, mentality, outlook on life, generational encoding, societal norms, intelligence, emotional intelligence, and all-around cosmic being.
Good luck, friends! 2013 will be amazing, enter it with keen knowing of its potential. Let Pluto guide us through this new era dawning upon us.
