new tarot

I just got this beautiful new tarot deck and I am having so much fun trying to learn it. The artwork is stunning. The difference in this deck and traditional pentacles and wands and the others is that this new deck uses candles, presents and needles instead. The major arcana is the same though. 

Pictured below is the deck I am talking about 

omg!

I swear I did not forget about all of you but I have just been busy with my other blog. I have a book review blog over on WordPress and then with everything else going on in this world. It has just been so much. I have slacked off sadly in my spiritual studies which sucks but then again I have made no real progress. In that aspect of my life, I feel as if I am stuck. It has made me super depressed. I want to try tarot/oracle reading online but I am unsure how to do so. 

I want to make something of myself but I just feel completely stuck. Any advise is helpful at this time.

oracle readings?

Hi,

I was going through all of my tarot and oracle decks, just now. To be honest I feel more pulled to my oracle cards then I do my tarot. Now this all may change once I get this new deck I've become obsessed with, hopefully soon, my question is that is there a such thing as strictly oracle card readers or are they mixed in with tarot?

Do not take this as I must be looking down on tarot or something of that sort.....I am not at all. I just feel less comfortable with tarot then oracle.

I want to maybe start offering some oracle readings possibly  if anyone would be interested in that. 

Mother's day

Hello to all!

I hope that everyone is doing good today and enjoying a wonderful mother's day with their family. 

It has been awhile since I last posted something so I figured why not post something on a day like today. It's a beautiful day (so far) and it is also a holiday. It's a win-win. Just thought I would stop in and say happy mother's day to everyone. 

who knows?

I think we have always been taught to fear instead of follow because there are people who are afraid of what we can do. From a young age, especially if you live surrounded by churches like me, you were taught to fear those that were burned and never to question those who did the burning. Ever since I did start questioning them, I have been considered weird and a little crazy. I just have this feeling though that Christians are the ones who are wrong. I hate to say that because my family on both my father's and my mother's sides, all are die-hard Christians even down to going to church every single Sunday. While I love my family, I just do not believe that God is inside the churches. He is out in nature and to connect to him you have to get out and experience nature. 

That is just what I personally believe.

Spring 🌼 🌻 🌸 🌹

Wow!

Springtime already. Oh this makes my heart so happy. I love this time of year. All the blooming flowers, how green the grass is. All the trees coming back into bloom as well. I love watchung my neighbor's willow tree grow it's leaves back again. I always try to do a little mindfulness ritual whenever I get to wonder outdoors. Walking in the grass while barefoot,making sure to appreciate every touch. I then look around at all the wildlife that is around. The only thing that I miss about living at my parents home is that I could watch rabbits run around out in their front yard. Deer would come out as well. And my grandparents' home is a definite miss. The smell of that big honeysuckle bush in their yard. Helping my grandfather plant his garden. 

This year, everytime I smell the honeysuckle or feel the wind upon my face, I feel them near me and my children. My boys definitely missed out on knowing some amazing people but I know that they are always there for us. 

I have also noticed that every time a crow shows up near my home and cries it's song, someone either in my family is hurting or has died. Thrice this year I have seen a single crow sit up high and sing it's tune to me and hours later, I get a message or see a social media post about something happening to someone in my family. It happened when my great uncle had to be air lifted to the hospital due to a stroke, it happened when my grandmother passed away on December 25th and it happened this last time that a great uncle had died as well. For this reason I keep the one single crow feather on my altar. I also keep stones that I have collected from my home and even a bit of clay from the earth that is my front yard so that I shall have every bit of my home with me when I ever move away. And when my family does move away, I shall do the same thing again. Gather things to keep in memory in case of a move or some big change.

Maybe one day I will get to show you the little altar I am talking about. Not sure when so keep a lookout over on my Instagram (spiritualloveforall)

Sorry for the disappearance

Hi, everyone

I am sorry for not posting anything for awhile. I sort of lost track of time plus having personal family issues made it hard to remember to post something. I also do not get to journal as much as I would like to. I want to show off my new Instagram page 

And I would like for you to follow me there if you wish. Do not worry, I am not a selfie type of person so no worries there. I also have a Facebook page as well.

so feel free to like that page as well. I tried to match the names of both pages but insta says the name is taken so I am sorry about this. That is all I have to update you on for now so blessed be and remember to harm none.

ideas

Lately I've had nothing but Journaling ideas floating around inside my head and with the small place my family lives in and having two young children....I basically have no time to myself. As in no time for journaling at all. My kids cannot read my entries yet thankfully but I do know my mom and husband would be quite nosey if they knew I was writing. I have to wait for the days when my children go to their rehab doctor so that I can be alone completely.  I wanted to do some shadow working for the month if October but again no time and not really understanding what shadow working is, I am just out of luck this year. I may just have to try for next year or something along those lines. 

I do apologize for not being on here that much. I will try to make up for that. It would warm my heart though if you do any colored pumpkins, to do a purple one for epilepsy awareness. More soon, blessed be

time flies and tarot journaling

Where has the time gone? I did not realize that I had not posted anything on this blog since December of last year. The only new things that I have been doing would be meditating more and appreciating the quiet when my kids fall asleep. Also journaling more now. I currently have a bullet journal and a daily journal and a tarot journal as well as two journaling apps on my phone whenever I get the urge to write but can't due to not home or my family is up and awake. I cannot journal when someone else is around me. It is just a personal thing to me and I feel like they would want to read it and ask questions or get mad when reading my opinions. Plus, I feel that tarot journaling is personal as well. Being as I'm in the broom closet with my faith, I am not yet brave enough to work with tarot around .y parents or around my husband even though he is perfectly fine with it. I also think that the readings won't be as accurate with them around in case the cards draw upon their energy as well as mine. If that makes any sense at all. 

So? Tell me what is new with you. Anything at all, I do not mind hearing about it. I love listening to other people's journeys. They can be an inspiration sometimes.

Do More

I know that I have not been a constant presence here or on my facebook page but this is part of my goals list. I want to do more with my tarot and my runes and pendulum. I want to do more meditations. Even short ones. I would love to try a card a day with my tarot and Oracle cards. I also want to work up to actually doing readings one day. I want to work on my grimoire as well. If you all have any ideas on a bullet journal style grimoire, please let me know. Also feel free to leave comments and share pics on my facebook (wiccan love)

Merry solstice and blessed be

Grimoire ideas

Lately I have been into bullet journaling and I was thinking of making my grimoire into a bujo (short for bullet journal) style. I am still keeping it a secret from everyone. Most people just do not understand or they do not want to. Especially in the town where I live so keeping it secret works best for me. Let me know what your grimoire style is and whether you are open about your practice or secretive like me.

Hey!

Ok, the internet has been back on for a bit now but I just forgot to tell you all about it. And too I have been in a reading slump as of late. The best way out if it, I've come to realize is to post my reviews and the fact that I read this or that book instead of updating every single time I get a few chapters ahead. It is bringing me out of my slump a little. I may also just post reviews and thoughts on this blog and my wordpress blog. I thought about also just posting a list of books and what they are about instead. I'll think on it. Happy reading

No internet

Currently without internet so until it can get turned back on, I won't have any updates for you

Today

Today was interesting to say the least.....first off as I was going to put thing in my car to get ready to leave it started raining in a sudden downpour. Once I got in the car, soaking wet mind you, the rain slowed down and stopped as my family and I were driving. And then on my way to my friend's house, we got caught in a storm. Couldn't hardly see to drive and everything but then when we went to see a friend of my husband's it started raining again but only just a little bit. On the way home, though, the clouds were beautiful and fluffy but they looked as if they were being sucked up by something. It was pretty interesting. Honestly I take it as a complete sign to not help those certain people anymore. They have been dragging us down and down and I think it is time to put a stop to it.

Ostara 2019

And a happy Ostara to everyone out there this year. I really wanted to do some sort of ritual here just by myself but my kids are awake and my mom is here so I'll just have to do some sort of small ritual before bed. Maybe light some incense or something.

Sorry

I am terribly sorry for not keeping up with the journal prompts.  I just lost track of time. It is almost time for Ostara, I do believe. My birthday is also this month as is my oldest son's so we've been busy planning parties and such. I do apologize for it all. Today's post is to just brag about springtime and how beautifull it is. The tree flowers blooming and all the flowers blooming. My favorite trees are the dogwood and weeping willow trees. Dogwood has these white blooms in the springtime.

January prompts #14

Someone I am proud of:

Honestly, I am proud of both my husband and my boys. As a family, we have been through so much crap over these past eight years. Medically, my husband, myself and both our boys all have problems.  And each day is a struggle. My husband and both boys deal with glaucoma. I have seizures as well as a messed up knee, bladder problems and farsightedness.  But in spite of our problems, I remain confident that the Goddess is with us. Seizures are like a thing that lurks in the dark to me. I never know when they will happen. It scares me because I am always,always thinking "what if this..." "what if that" but in those moments I do know that She is with me because my children are never harmed.
I have young boys ages seven and two. They require a lot of attention especially my two year old who constantly wants me to hold him. I am so scared to be holding him and have a seizure and have him injured because of something that I cannot control. Its difficult enough being a mother but that added in makes it even more so.

I wasn't always a witch though. I had been raised as a Christian. Was even baptized and "saved" but it just didn't feel right to me. But then I discovered Wicca. And I have felt right at home ever since. So if you feel like giving up,  do not! The Goddess works in often strange ways but keep the faith, you won't be disappointed.

Why?

Why must it always come down to almost throwing punches before someone steps up? Everywhere you look and everywhere you turn; people are always wanting to "throw hands" on someone else. We have not made it very far from the caveman times. We are literally still cavemen (and women) except just a tad bit smarter. We still have moments where our anger out thinks our actions and we "throw hands" before we even think one single thought. We also get too offended way too easily over the tiniest things. It is so sad and just heartbreaking.
What is worse is that it gets worse and worse with every generation. The bible teaches you to hate everyone unless they meet a certain criteria. The church teaches you to hate everyone that does not go to your church on Sunday.  Everyday some new is teaching how to hate and who to hate.
Its heartbreaking to watch it.

It has come....

Ok, it has come to my attention that some witches are actually going to try to hex Kavanaugh. I am only guessing in that means they must be democratic in their political views.  I am not judging anyone here. Make no mistake in that. But the wiccan code says to harm none. Why don't you who are joining in this, wish for him to see the reality of his actions instead. Because what you send out comes back to you times three.
Meaning that say your hexing actually works, but it actually causes him harm. You will have to deal with that in your mind, heart and energy. It can lower your energy protection which makes you vulnerable to everything. Now is the time to show the world what Wiccans are really about. Going around hexing someone is not the way to go.
Please....change your minds and choose a different way.

Still here...

So so sorry for not posting so much but my husband and I were talking the other day and I had the thought that what if the earth is really the heaven that is talked about in the bible...God is supposed to call everyone up when it comes time so what if he really meant to raise you up out of your graves?
If this were true then we all are gods and goddesses tending to heaven ourselves and that pagans were right all along.
It's just a thought I had...let me know what your thoughts in it are...
