Anyway what happened was I was driving in a car with my mother and she said half joking I should cast a spell to dispel the traffic jam. At first I thought she was kidding me, but then I ended up finding 8 wands from RWS and started looking at it imagining I was an arrow and thinking of Castor and Pollux and whatnot. I got really exhausted and got a bit of a headache, but we ended up having a much quicker journey than usual. We were both like wtf

I've got witches blood allegedly so I freaked out. Anyone has any clue what happened? Is this normal?

It is, kinda.

Tarot Magick exists but you channeled it without a ritual, I've done similar in the past but without the use of tarot. I didn't really get a headache tho, but May have felt a bit more tired..

@andstuff, you are so dear and cute for sharing.

I think its important that as this has happened - that you practice and be disciplined about it - though this is assuming that you want to pursue it further. I am sure if you put your intention out there you can/will find a teacher who can help broaden your talents.

Hugs! (and if you don't mind me saying, proud of you!)

Hey andstuff, Agreed with the others. And yes, tarot can be a great tool with magic. Make sure you start practising grounding exercises. When you evoke and channel an amount of energy from outside and not ground it, headaches are common.

Ps: the fact you got exhausted also refers to you using your own energy for it. Ideally you tap into the energy of the source so it flows through you and your own energy will be replenished.

@littlecloud: it wasn't a headache as such, just a bit of heaviness around the temples. and i got extremely hungry

@ Twirl: hm makes sense What exactly is a grounding exercise? when i tried healing (low key), it always ended up de-energising me, so it's really weird. I tend to do things intuitively as if i knew how they are done, but yeah, I havent worked out a way to avoid being de-energised myself.

@imeanj: I just have very little clue where to find someone to teach me I don't wanna go to paid workshops, must be a scam, like all paid workshops. Just imagining something straight out of "kill bill" ["heal bill" ]. No chance, lol, we'll see, maybe i'll have to go it alone after all

You can find them in good Wiccan/witch craft books. Basic rule before you start using magic. Just google on grounding and centering exercises. Your root chakra had to be strong and all connected to the physical world.

i am somehow afraid of the word witchcraft i once wished my neighbour from upstairs to break a leg for too much stamping and they did. so i am seriously so afraid. i have tried some rope magic (protection stuff) and it seemed to work though. i have absolutely no idea what to make of it all, this is not exactly a harry potter movie

but the root chakra makes sense, i'll google around and see what i can find, thanks.

btw, do you think you might consider exchanging readings with me? having seen your readings, I'd be extremely happy to

Hi Andstuff

I understand the fear of the word witchcraft, but remember that it is just the word and the imaging that has put upon it for centuries you are afraid of. Once you look behind the meaning of the word and actually learn or read about what it is and experience it, I'm quite sure your outlook would change Hope that doesn't sound too cryptic lol, but that's i.m.o. how it works with everything. A word has gotten a specific meaning, because of what people 'say' of it, while in reality there is much more to it. (think of any big media happening where everyone suddenly has an opinion of the topic & people turn all into experts. But are they really? Is that their own opinion or did they look at one specific source for all this information and just take in what has been said and repeat that?) Hope this explanation kind of makes sense.
Saw you had a new deck! Do you like this one?
For reading exchanges: at some point, yes. For now it's not really a good time. Been a bit tired and busy with my house cause I accidently set the bath room on fire yesterday :-/ (it's okay, just needs more cleaning new paint, electrician, etc.). But I'm a bit busy with that too.

PS: Can you remember the last deck I recommended you? Can't get it out of my mind ever since and now want it myself, lol.

Edit, part2: when you already have natural abilities to manifest (we all have those btw, but for some it is easier to get there then 4 others), it is really helpful to learn how to direct that energy. Years and years ago I had had a fight with my BF at the time and I was so angry. I had all this lovely candles in Moroccon glasses lit at the time and I was thinking about him. Within 30 minutes 3 of the lovely glasses exploded. I then blew out the rest of the candles. Speaking of undirected energy

@ Twirl:

Yes, I remember I also have my eye on this one, something about it. Facial expressions are fascinating http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/tarot-of-the-master/

As for Deviant Moon, it is what it is, I can't imagine using it for normal everyday readings. There's too much twistedness, which I rather like. If you want to, feel free to drop by to leave a Q.

And I suppose you are right about witchcraft, but the thing also is perhaps all this energy stuff is broader than just witchcraft, as if the word imposed a limit....

Best of luck sorting out your bathroom, this sort of things are so enervating

Aah okay, I see, but that's also perception again, lol. I assumed the fear cause of Crowley, but I see how it can also feel limiting to put a name on something...

And yes, very pretty deck! Beautiful expressions indeed!
Nice find!

^ Crawley? Oh no, I don't believe it for one second he did magic. Rituals maybe, but did it result in anything? A talentless, arrogant creature who just wanted to be looked up to?

Also I just looked at the chariot from his deck and freaked out. canopic jars dragging the chariot? where to?

I think he was too preoccupied doing drugs and never did any studies that weren't accidentally picked up from the golden dawn he badmouthed all over the place. a very messed up man. i don't know why my mother is so afraid of him and his energy. but she knows better than i do
