I know this may sound kinda bad since almost everyone here celebrates Yule, but it’s more the sentiment I’m going for.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, I LOVE YA ALL!!

It looks good!

Wow! I love it!

I'm from a Christian family too. But I'm gonna leave the explanation to someone else. I'm bad at explaining.

Well, the Ten of Swords does stand for back-stabbing and betrayal. However, there is a positive, that the end of a painful situation is coming soon. Either way, there's nothing much you can do besides accepting that it will happen.

The cards surrounding it will shine more light on the situation of the card itself. Personally I think seeing the card as an ending gives more options for rebirth and the start of something new.

I always get scared when other people get the tower.
And I'm thankfull my deck doesn't have that XD

Oh interesting spread–

many of those cards are practically begging you to reflect internally on your personal relationships (Hermit/HIgh Priestess/Four of Cups) because something in your life has become a major burden when it was once a joy (10 of wands) and that a separation from that situation may be needed (Five of Swords/Ten of Swords). They also advise you to seek the council of an older woman/relative/someone you trust with your secrets to help you through this separation because you will need to strength and compassion of this person but also their strict nature (Queen of Swords/ King of cups) BUT! It seems that you will have a positive outlook on your situation because not only do you have the swift gift of the Page of Wands but also his youthful energy with will bridge you into the happiness, joy, and emotional contentment, particularly in your relationships and family with the Ten of Cups.

You're struggling with a mighty decision right now, but I think once you are confident in yourself and the path you take only good things will come to you.

Yea no worries! I know it can be hard to sort through all of what the cards say because they are all speaking to you at once. Practice makes perfect!

I think they mean to infuse stones with memories, my dearest.

But Im not sure if that is a good idea. Perhaps focus more on filling it with your energy, just an essence of you, just because your memory/ emotion could be harmful to anyone else that could touch the stone. Whereas sharing your energy, your life force, can only be beneficial.

I have never heard of infusing stones w/ energy, could someone explain for a bby witch pwease?

Should I move my altar? It's in a closing bookshelf because of storage, but I just cleaned my room so I could move it.

Infusing stones with energy is pretty simple actually!

All it takes is meditating with them (preferably within a casted circle or safe meditation space) and you focus on the intent of infusing a piece of your own aura into them. It really helps to boost a stone's properties and makes them more yours if that makes sense. I usually will do this almost immediately after cleansing my stones–which I do about two to three times a month (for the stones out in the open in my house). For stones that I keep–say in my purse (for safe travels and luck with money) I charge those about once a month.

Oh! That's sounds interesting. Also, how do you, personally, clean your stones?

Moonlight generally. (Full moon)

but since I moved to Washington Ive actually been using rain water!

Ooh! I tried to collect rainwater once, but something happened that deterred me from trying again, at least for a while. I still beat myself up over it and have problems sleeping some nights if my brain brings it up.
