New Tarot Spread

Found this amongst some notes, and wanted to share. I don't see why it couldn't be used for runes, as well.

Arrow Tarot Spread

Here's a tarot spread that I developed and have been using recently.
Click it, to see it in more detail. :)

Monday, Monday. SO magickal!

Last Saturday’s circle left me feeling quite magickal. And inspired by a post by an interested party on our groups message board, I’m going to try to do a divination journal a few times a week. So, here we go!

Today’s Rune: Pertho


This rune sits on the second aett of the elder futhark runes. It is representative of a dice cup, and is sometimes related to the Wheel of Fortune tarot card. Some believe that it means that something is out of control. Others believe it may mean secrets or mysteries revealed. There are plenty of websites out there- for more info, simply google.

I pulled this rune out of a bag this morning. I didn’t have a question or situation in my mind when I pulled it, nor did I have a place, like in a spread for it to fit into. I pulled it with a blank mind, and blank intent. From now on, I’ll make sure I figure either an intent, or a place when I pull a rune, for contextual purposes. Without a context, I’m just going to assume that this has something to do with me, at some time in the future or present. Lately, I’ve decided that I need to meditate more often, as well as do more spiritual practices. I’ve already started doing offerings (and sometimes sacrifices) daily. I’ll need a separate post for that. But perhaps, as I’ve made the decision to focus more on my personal spirituality (rather than mostly just fostering others) the mysteries that I seek shall reveal themselves.

I’ve found that daily spiritual practices can be sort of like going to the gym. I make all kinds of excuses why I can’t, but when I’m there- in the moment- I’m SO glad I did it. I KNOW it will lead to spiritual health. And I know that I should not let my spiritual health and connection fall by the wayside. And so, next weekend I’m going camping. I need some nature time. Some forced relaxation. Time to read books, and practice tarot and meditate, and drum. And have alone time with my husband. The move has been a little challenging for him to adapt to, and so a weekend of fishing, might be in the cards for him, as well. We have a place we go often- its more deserty, than foresty, but it will do. Maybe I will learn something while out in nature. Maybe that’s what Pertho is saying to me.

How much faith do you put in a tarot spread, really?

I know people who constantly read their cards and take them at face-value (sometimes literally). They believe that the cards tell them what is REALLY up and make most of their decisions based upon what they read in the cards. Others will read the cards, and not put much faith in them- they believe that really, they are simply pieces of cardboard dealt out at random. Where am I? Somewhere in the middle- its dependent upon the situation, too.

If I’m going to weave some magic, and I’m pretty unsure about it, I will read the cards, and follow what I read in them. This has saved my ass several times in my life by preventing me from acting strictly upon my emotions and doing some pretty unethical stuff magickally. However, if I’m reading cards in regards to a situation, and my feelings aren’t in line with what the cards are saying, then I definitely use the knowledge of the cards in order to frame my decision. What I’ve found interesting today, is that I was reading cards as they relate to a situation, and it turned out to be about something completely different that might possibly relate to the original situation. By this I mean, that a card in the FUTURE slot in a spread might not have something to do with the immediate people in a situation, but may reflect an issue with a person on the outskirts of a situation- possibly becoming a major player somehow. This is interesting to me. I don’t read tarot regularly- its one of my goals-to increase this- but when I do, sometimes I’m really surprised with what the cards say, and how they educate me more and more each time I read.

"In da club" | Tarot Reading as Fortune Telling?

Yes, I listen to “popular” music. This includes pop, R&B and even some rap and hip-hop. In much of the hip-hop music today, it seems as though the stripper culture is glorified. There are so many songs about strippers, and being in the club (obviously a strip club), and women showing their body while they are on the stage, etc. And then there are songs about being in a dance club. Both types of songs refer to “the club.” So, now I’m confused when I hear “the club” in a song? Is it a dance club? A strip club? Wtf? I need to know!

Well, I just had to get that off my chest.

The other thing that’s on my mind is: divination for the immediate future. I’ve been practicing with my cards lately, and last night, I decided that I was just going to pull one card before I went to bed to see how my day was going to be tomorrow (work, in particular). I pulled the 10 of pentacles, reversed. Reversed, the 10 of pentacles could mean any number of things- mostly negative and centered around money or family/community. All of a sudden, I didn’t really feel positive about going to work the next day. Usually, when I read, its for myself, and helps me understand a situation more in depth or gives me more options to deal with a situation. I don’t normally read for the future, but it might be a good experiment. Like a weather forecast. What’s my forecast for today, tomorrow and the day after? That might be something fun- or not. I don’t really like knowing when bad things are going to happen- since I’m a worrier and a stresser. I don’t want to know it’s the apocalypse until I’m dead, you know? Looking at it from an objective standpoint, it might be a good journaling experience. Even if I just pull the cards, note them here, and blog everyday- I might be able to analyze it afterwards. Hm. Sorry- blogs for me aren’t the most well-written articles, they are more stream-of-consciousness narratives.

I am working on a very simple consecration that I’ll be posting shortly, along with a simple triple goddess (MMC) ritual. I’m working on creating these few solitary rituals that are simple, - where the liturgy rhymes, so that it’s easy to remember and repeat.

Ouija Board: Soon to be a DIY post

Okay, so I think I’m going to work on making a new Ouija board. I did start one (woodburning), but I forgot to put YES and NO on it. No, really. I AM that lame. So, inspired by a post at MW, I decided to go to amazon to look at the different styles of Ouija. And OMG the reviews are HIGHLARIOUS! So, I will share some with you. The last one, is my ultimate fave. I love sarcasm.


the first time i played this game...i thought it would be amazing! my friends and i all gathered around and then suddenly my friend started to bleed out of her mouth...it was scary..the next she died. i'm sad.

i went to my friends house for a sleepover and me and anotehr frend brught the board cuz u kno we dont want no eveil in our hoouse soo yah nd then it like was mvioing nd we asked it are you a good spirit nd it was like no nd then my friend starting caughing nd we were like whats wrong nd she just got up nd walked out of the house.... we were so scared so we asked what did you do to her? nd it was like youll see.. so i was soo scared i started to cry... we decided to stop nd we called for our friend but there was no reply that night i could hardly sleep the next day our friend called.. she sounded normal but we found otu later she wasnt.... we took out the board again [ stupidly] but this time there was a nice spirit.. so everything was good.. but then we got a nock at our door,, we went to answer it nd it was our friend .. she was covered in dirt nd was smiling evily it was soo creepy .. we asked wut was wrong nd she said nothing nd turned around nd left.. we never saw her again. =\\ ... i guess it can be good or bad.. mostly bad so DOTN USE IT .... R.i.p - j.w. - we mis you nd we're sorry..

The country of Mexico has a huge population of its society who uses this Ouija board and the endresult for some of them is demonic possession, for others it is death.

The bottom review could be a demon possessing a young man or woman and using him or her as a tool in order to write that review. The spelling is all wrong(all twisted)but everyone knows that the Ouija Board has been given life by the satanic bible. For those that don't know in this 2006 AD the Ouija board has been around for many years and years, and this is just an evil tool which many classify as good clean innocent fun but it is all a lie. This is a tool which has been created by Satan in order to capture your soul. We are in the last times and Jesus Christ is coming back, so i say to you repent and change from your wicked(evil) ways. All other religions don't offer salvation, only Christianity and Judaism do. The rest only lead to hell. Jesus Christ is the creator of the solar systems and everything that exists, including you, and using this Ouija board only angers God. People who do magic are bound to go to hell for ETERNITY. Save your soul(and People will laugh at this review) but it is good to be laughed at for this review, but to save some souls in the end, because many people are going to the lake of fire(HELL) because of playing with Magic (Ouija, using satanic bible, and being a witch, etc.)If you play with magic then you are Satanic 100 percent. Give up the devil satan, and come to Christ. Jesus Christ is Life, Eternity, Salvation, and True Love, give up this evil ouija board before it is to late. The road to Heaven is very narrow and few will make it. Judgement day will come some day soon and there will be no more cities nor even amazon.com but all of us will be facing God and we will be judged according to our acts. Don't be dumb, don't be stupid, give up this evil satanic magic forever!!

Listen whoever think this is a toy will be in deep trouble me and my friend were playing this and the spirit said it would kill us and he was in our room and then my friend got sick...he's not dead but we decided to first ask if it was going to hurt us...then ask if it was going to kill us if it said no both times we would talk with it. We met a humorous ghost named Sam we talked for about an half hour and listen If the spirit says it will hurt toy lift the object up and turn on the lightsalso if you can speak to animals you have extreamly high spirit power (only me and another person in the whole school can do that.

If you look at the history of the Ouija (if you go into depth on the subject) it is quite obvious (and everyone knows this)that this board has a Satanic spell on it in order to bring life to it.

This is not a toy. Amazon, how DARE you put this dangeruos occult device in a toy section! there have been many people who have gotten possed by demons through this "toy". I remeber a few years ago I went over to my grandparents house. they had an ouija. I refused to use it (the bible says not to & i am a bible believeing mormon), but my brother and my cousin did. It kept on telling them to "make a wall of blood". They said "what do you mean" and it said " lake eerie (a local lake) take a boat to middle cut yourself put dop [sic] f [sic] blood in wter [sic]." That sounded suspicious. my grandma came downstairs all upset screaming that she heard a laugh and heavy breathing while she was making cookies. well, she saw them playng with the ouija and she took it and lit a fire in the fireplace and threw it in. it screamed a horrible scream that caused my grampa's ears to bleed. we later googled and found out that it was an ancient ritual to cut yourself and put a drop of blood in a lake that somebody died in to give them control of your body. the night that happned my borther complained of hearing somebody whisper "make a wall, make a wall of your blood." in his ear. i put holy water around his room and it stopped. sadly i couldnt give this evil thing 0 stars. STAY AWAY THE BEST WAY TO PREDICT THE FUTURE IS TO MAKE IT!!! All you skeptics, go get a board and tell it to posses your body. see what happens. you wont be a skeptic anymore!!

Erm....I don't know if anybody will read this but I need some help. You see, I was playing with this Ouija board and I became possessed and ended up throwing myself off my Grandma's balcony into her prize roses. It wasn't the height that killed me because she lives on the ground floor but one of the thorns pierced my heart and I bled to death. Thing is, I am now stuck between parallels because I forgot my GPS for the after life and don't know where I am. If you buy the game just dial my cell phone and talk me
through.......thanks......
