And a lil bit of Celtic lore for the summer solstice (I call it Samhradh) tomorrow. I'll keep it short.

So basically this really cool Celtic god named Manannán Mac Lir protects this island to the east of Ireland called the Isle of Man (hey! That's his name! Waow!). He's protected it with weather, such as magical mists shrouding the island from enemies and with illusions that make the Manx look really buff and loaded with tons of ships and stuff ready to defend the land even though their were none. The people thought this was really poggers, and asked Manannán how they could thank him. He only asked that every Samhradh the people pay their rents with rushes. Now, rushes are this really common water weed that farmers would want to get rid of anyway, so this is like double poggers because it's such an easy sacrifice. Win win, 10/10, very merciful!

-Playing cards are just as valid of a divination tool as tarot (and cheaper!)

I'd heard this before, but idk how you would read them? Do you know of any books/sites that would have a guide on that? Since my practice has to be very closeted, playing cards would be safer for me than trying to hide a deck of tarot cards

@Zoe-the-GM

I had to create my own tarot deck, I just don't have any drawings, so I can only read them by possible meanings, then ask my spirit guides for clarification .

I rely very heavily on my intuition for divination. When it comes to playing cards, they have really commonly held meanings- for example, the suit of hearts has to do with love life and diamonds has to do with finances. I don't stick to that completely, since the fun of the craft for me is making my own correspondences.
However, this list here says it was compiled by a professional tarot reader, and skimming through it I see a lot of commonalities between this correspondence list and the others.

How are your cards designed, if you don’t mind me asking? You mentioned that you don’t have drawings so I’m curious as to how you know which card is which ^^’

(Also completely unrelated but I know someone else who goes by the name ZJ and I thought you were them for a moment haha)

Look

I might actually draw everything, but that's a lot of work for 78 cards.

@Zoe-the-GM

Oh! And the fool is the only card that has a design on the back so far.

@The-Magician group

Ah very nice! I would love to see them if and when you get around to putting designs with the rest of them!

@Zoe-the-GM

Okay! :)

Tarot cards: you cannot emotionally handle a break up right now
Pendulum: but don't worry, she doesn't think about you enough to think about breaking up with you (:

I mean..they're not WRONG-

@berlioz

Happy Summer Solstice/Samhradh/Litha everyone! May you day be full of light ☀️

SHIT I forgot my pendulum at home. Could be adhd, could be me being forced to practice communication with tarot. Either way I'm not happy

Me: ooo can you send me some deer
Me: just for laughs
Me: wait shit no deer are already common where I'm going, can you send deer and make everyone else see them but not me? don't let me see a single deer the whole week
>my family has seen two so far and it's probably just me being unobservant but I have not. pichaisbi what the hell were you thinking "i DoNt WaNnA sEe A sInGlE dEeR" yes you do they're fucking cute I wanna see them

@berlioz

Bruh I'm the same way with signs 😂
"Send me this… wait no but not like this, cause then it's too common, so like this.. unless I see it like this.. wait I forgot how to qualify what a sign is just send me whatever"

@berlioz

You ever just be praying or meditating and that's when everyone decides they want to come in your room

@Pickles group

ughh I have to set up my temp altar but I don't wanna get up

@Zoe-the-GM

I have to deal with that too lol

@Pickles group

Went outside and listened to music and meditated for probably fifteen minutes. The neighbor was mowing but I had fun and didn't have an allergic reaction

@ElderGod-Icefire

I tried to do some candle magic the other night and the candle flame started out strong, and then shrunk until it put itself out. Not a good sign lmao

group
@Pickles group

So I was asking my sib if I could help them pick berries because "it's litha and I wanna pick stuff" and they go "sure. I have no idea what litha is but I'm guessing it's one of your fun year holidays" fjsisb I love them

group
@Pickles group

Also I have like three witchcraft ebooks out and I want to read them but I don't want to write stuff down

@berlioz

My sibling is super supportive of my holidays too hahah

@berlioz

Lol no one told me what to do after I found my p/matron

group
@Pickles group

Finally got around to starting to design my own tarot deck that I will not finish or do anything with. I'm almost finished with the fool and I'm definitely not going super along with the meanings or other people's designs because I just don't feel inspired

It has happened four times now, twice the deer was dead. I'm beginning to get the message, please let me notice the deer

@berlioz

Spoopy, but holy flavored

group
@Pickles group

I'm betting that it's just a coincidence because all of my other requests for signs have been ignored or responded to with a "here's a reminder that you'd have a panic attack if that happened"
