How to Make Amends with Tarot

Traditional fortunetellers believe tarot to have a life and a heart of its own. So when your readings have stopped resonating, consider apologizing.

STEP 1: Stop the misdeed.

How did you mistreat your deck? Did you use it to read for someone after they called tarot a joke? Did you use it on a table sticky with coffee rings and honey spills? Did you keep drawing more and more cards until you found the one you were hoping for? Whatever it is… never do it again.

STEP 2: Rewrite your contract.

Sincerely apologize to your deck for not showing it enough respect. And then reintroduce yourself. Ask it to let you start your relationship all over again. Request their truthfulness in exchange for your care. Here is how I do it. Adapt it as you want. Then honor your new agreement.

This Friday, November 15th,will be the fourth and final super moon of the year rising with the sparkling mystical pleiades star cluster. The moon will be in Taurus and should usher in some dramatic changes on the world front. The sun is in Sagittarius which is significant on a number of esoteric levels. The Great Dark Goddess Hecate watches over her kin and empowers their Magick.

Honoring the Spirits of Home: Creating Sacred Spaces for the Unseen

As witches, we work with spirits every day, whether we realize it or not. Our homes, like ourselves, are steeped in the spirit world, alive with layers of unseen inhabitants that have their own roles, wisdom, and stories to tell. For many of us, it’s a quiet understanding that a witch’s home should be haunted—not in the fearful sense, but filled with life that pulses in harmony with our craft. From ancestral guides and house spirits, to the land’s ancient beings, these entities weave themselves into the very fabric of our spaces, enriching them with energy and presence.

Regardless of whether a home is newly built or weathered by decades, each dwelling becomes imbued with spirit. There’s an existing ecosystem of energies that connect to the land itself, the history of the area, and the layers of life that once lived or passed through. These spirits, sometimes subtle, sometimes profound, thrive within the space we call home, coexisting with us and enhancing our magick. But it is up to us to nurture a balanced and harmonious relationship with them.

Why Connect with the Spirits of Your Home?

Developing a deep, reciprocal relationship with the spirits of your home doesn’t just benefit your craft; it offers blessings for everyone under your roof. When these spirits feel acknowledged and respected, they offer protection, lend strength to your magickal workings, and create an atmosphere of peace and nourishment. A home can truly feel like a sanctuary when the spirits that dwell within it are in harmony with those who reside there in the flesh. This connection turns your space into an anchor—a place of personal power, healing, and resilience.

Building Friendships with Spirit

Nurturing relationships with spirits requires time, care, and a commitment to reciprocity. Just as with human friendships, there is a cycle of giving and receiving. Spirits respond to sincere attention and intention, as well as the gifts and gestures we offer them. One meaningful way to foster this connection is by creating a spirit house or a dedicated space where spirits can feel welcomed and honored.

A spirit house is both a physical symbol and a spiritual anchor. It becomes a place where offerings can be left, and it serves as a gateway for interaction with the spirit world in a respectful and clear manner. It’s a way of saying, “You are welcome here, I honor your presence, and I seek your guidance and protection.”

Creating Your Spirit House

Designing a spirit house is a creative, personal process. It need not be elaborate; sometimes, the simplest gestures carry the deepest respect. You may choose a small altar, a shelf, or even a discreet box placed in a peaceful corner of your home. Consider using natural materials—wood, clay, or stone—as they tend to resonate well with spirits of place. Personalize it with items like stones from your land, soil, dried herbs, or even water from a local stream. Each addition builds a bridge between your energy and the spirits you invite into your home.

When crafting your spirit house, remember that offerings and gifts can strengthen this relationship over time. Spirits, like friends, appreciate time, energy, love, and tokens of appreciation. Remember, spirits are aware of intention as much as they are of the physical offering, so approach this creative expression with reverence and sincerity.

Rooted in Slavic tradition, village magic represents a balance between the Christian egrégor and Slavic paganism. How did this happen? It all began with Princess Olga, the first ruler to embrace Christianity. By the 9th century, the coexistence of Varangian and Slavic paganism alongside Christianity was evident. As we know, we can blame Olga's grandson, Vladimir, for the Christianization of Russia.

By the end of the 10th century, three major religions dominated the world: Christianity, Islam, and Buddhism. However, Vladimir chose to follow in the footsteps of his great-grandmother, Princess Olga, and embraced Christianity. According to another version, ambassadors sent to different countries helped him make his choice: each shared what their religion had to offer, but it was Christianity that captivated him with its beauty (the only one where you could drink Cahors).

Yet, one cannot simply replace one religion with another. Yes, we can discard idols, drive everyone into rivers, and forcefully baptize. But unfortunately, we cannot rewrite minds. During the day, people would attend church services, while in the evenings they would offer tributes to household spirits and embroider protective charms on their shirts.

Village magic employs various methods for practice and work, primarily using structured spells. Some even rewrote spells “in a new way,” incorporating “amen,” and addresses to God and saints. Simple protective charms were made from materials at hand—usually wood, scraps of fabric, wool threads, animal teeth, and anything found in the forest.

There is an extensive knowledge base for working with herbs. Practitioners didn't shy away from dealing with spirits and demons. They continued to honor the same traditions of Slavic paganism. Village tradition is a unique balance. At that time (and for many years afterward), magic was condemned, and paganism was being eradicated. Therefore, village magic became a way to disguise and simplify practices as much as possible. No grand gestures or loud incantations—just whispers over herbs and water or spells for a broom while cleaning. A charm hidden in a needle tucked away in a doorframe was the only way to avoid being labeled a "witch" or "sorcerer."
