Everything Under the Moon

Just wanted to thank you (very belatedly) for the advice! I've seen a few books on tarot for character creation, although I felt kind of limited by them. Oracle cards work better for me so far. And holy crow, The Faerytale Oracle is SO GOOD for determining character motivation. I was really surprise...

Hi folks,
I'm putting together a meditation mixtape for myself; does anyone have any suggestions? Doesn't have to be traditional meditation music (I've put a lot of video game music on there )

Just saw this shadow creature, cat-like, scurry over my bed. Turned a little more, and saw it shimmy up part of the wall near my lamp. Didn't feel any hostility or fear towards it. I guess I should be more alarmed that it went close to the drawer where I keep my oracle deck/tarot cards, but I don't....

When you work magic, do you just do it on the spur of the moment, when you feel like it, or do you plan out rituals ahead of time?

Has anyone used divination items to develop plots/characters for a story instead? Is this a good idea or is it insulting to the cards?

Just want to say that this thread has been uber helpful! I've been struggling with this for a while & all the different responses are fascinating!

Your aunt is a very smart lady!

I need that t-shirt and I need that sticker (And I need some cats, stat).

That hidey-hole wouldn't hurt, either. It sounds really nice.

So far, NatureSpace audio helps a LOT. I would love to smell and feel nature as well, though.

I'm still here! Work has been crazy these past few weeks. Thank you very much for all the replies. Some very good advice here and interesting debates. A few things that make it tough is that I've been "burned" before. I've heard of charlatans. I've met some people who were pretty delusiona...

Welp, I'm panicking. Once again, I'm wondering if this magic thing is even for me. I don't even know if I'm meant for magic in the first place. Sometimes I get "aha" moments, or think I do, mostly it's just loads of "maybe it worked, oh wait, it didn't." Do I use this candle? I d...

A tarot reader picked up on my decision to search for a deity without me telling her. She said she was getting a strong vibe that Freya was reaching out to me, which caught me by surprise. Did a little research on Freya, who's an awesome goddess - gung-ho go-getter who's friendly towards newbies, ve...

Turns out spirituality is harder than I thought. Former Catholic, had a "break-up" with Catholicism due to disagreements about its doctrine on homosexuality & women's status in the church. Not to mention that I finally figured out that there were other religions that also had valid ide...

You guys might be onto something here. Things are scarier if we see them as forbidden. A few reason why I hide this from my parents: - My mom doesn't knock. Just comes right into my room. She's working on it though. Still no knock, but at least she'll say, "Hey there!" before opening the d...

I keep getting scared during tarot and I have no idea why. I feel like something's out to get me, even though I'm perfectly fine after readings. I've been surrounded by stones and protection candles, and I still get the willies. Is it just me being a nervous person (doing this at night, in a basemen...

Alone or in a group? By an altar, or outdoors, or somewhere else? Listening to music/sounds/silence? When you're experiencing a certain mood? Please share
