Recently i came across a beautiful game that had me questioning a few things. When learning tarot i always stuck heavily with books' and instructions' help, a considerable amount instead of pure intuition (but of course there were some, or else it wouldn't be tarot). Other than that, i also kept constantly in mind that tarot was purely therapeutical and guidance rather than fortune telling, as many wiser Witches taught me.
This game however, showed me a completely different vision on how to read the cards, with very simple yet effective spreads and much more confident interpretations. I also have strong reasons to believe this is Hekate's idea.
TL;DR: I wanna try fortune telling instead of therapeutic tarot
Edit: i figure out some of my doubts and uncertainties, see reblogs!
Confidence, i think it's the keyword. When i started this blog, even if i wanted to stick with the guidance tips tarot i was taught, many people came to me asking things about their future and not much insights about themselves, and that made me so nervous because, obviously, i didn't want to make a wild, ambicious prediction and it be wrong, to disappoint the requester, nor did i want to bring the bad news. So to avoid it, i was the first one to bland it out and make it not a big deal. The grain of salt.
It is wise from a point of view, one's future is theirs to make their own, but constantly telling myself "I can't go too far" might have limited my own intuition power.
Of course a game is but a game, it is scripted and has the limitless of fiction, however i do firmly believe there are talented, gifted people out there that can predict the future through divination magic with precision unmatched (oh, the stories i heard), but it's something wlse entirely, much harder to believe i could be one of those.
Even if i am unfortunately not very constant with my tarot craft, because it doesn't pay my bills and all that, i do feel a strong connection with my decks and the things i learn through the little sessions and readings every now and then, therefore trying out a new thing could be doable
When im not in tune during a session, my cards kinda "refuse to work" until we fix the vibes, the question, etc, and when everything is aligned it flows with incredible accuracy and meaning. I never "predicted the future" per see, however many, dare i say most, of my readings sooner than later came to be true, the ones i had been close to watch it unroll, so it might be possible to channel that energy into something similar, bolder.
The more i think about it, the stronger is my feeling to dive into this possibility, because i know if that's something my decks are not okay with, they will give me the proper queues, leaving my on read, so back to insightful readings it is.
Just like i do with my hair, a little bit of experimentation will not hurt anybody
My idea is to go deeply into bold fortune telling, let my intuition go wild, align it with my current knowledge (and future, because that's never too much) and allow myself some creativity freedom, read the cards with my third eye and present the consultant with very different outcomes one might never have considered an option.
About Hekate's insight, this month i admit to have failed my duties more than other months, it got me a little sad, because it's partly due to work and rest routine that I'm terrible at organizing. But during one of my hunting sessions for games to relax, I came to find that game by paths i usually don't trail (navigation wise) and played the demo that instantly made me purchase the whole thing.
I have reasons to believe Hekate lead me to it, silently with a few odd clicks, just the way She initially lead me to tarot years back, with a simple instagram ad (an opportunity to take the first step, after many days of me pondering about it). The game, The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood, has a beautifully written script, nice game mechanics, pretty art and designs and wild interpretations of Witchcraft, a great piece of fictional entertainment watered with valuable pieces of basic information Witches should know about.
This totally wakened my senses, as i said, sadly not constant with tarot, i felt intrigued with the mechanics and possibilies, and after lots of research on the matter, my conclusion is yes, fortune telling could be possible for me, if im brave enough the flourish it.
Like the game protagonist, I'm a bit scared of what may come out of this, seen like i had a very turbulent past that made me insanely afraid of what the future holds (cough cough ptsd cough subject for another day), this can be a healthy way of helping deal with it.
I shall make a briefer post later, but my idea is to reopen tarot requests, making it explicit that this is a beta testing fortune telling kind of deal.
Although i feel strongly Hekate is the one once again showing me the way, i feel like gathering some additional sources to aid this possible journey, and read more into Apollo's devotes and their experience with clairvoyance is on my list, maybe i might be blessed with His dodgeball gift of prophecy red ball in the face, so if any of Apollo's fortune tellers, messengers or followers have any tips regarding prophetic matters I'd love to hear about it!
Hopefully I'll be back soon with news, thank you so much if you read until here, have a blessed week โจ
I've been unable to stop thinking about this since yesterday, and by doing some research I could gather some valuable info and understand some things i was mistaken about.
TL;DR: Intuitive tarot and claircognizance
Generally, the mechanics and method the game portraits is Intuitive Reading rather than fortune telling, where the reader uses intuition mostly instead of logical meanings, letting the energy do the story telling. This explains why sometimes the answers the game provides some answers that I don't think resonates with the card draw entirely, or it goes beyond what I'd think it means
Having a name to research about is so great because this is what i want to test with my craft, when i used to read, i heavily looked into meanings in books rather than just go with the flow, afraid to get it wrong, my intuition only came into play to connect the logical dots, decide on the structure or explore the cards i already knew best. It's a flaw of mine, the fear of making mistakes, so i tend to stick with the instructions more than necessary, rationalizing things too much.
It worked, I can't deny that, but it prevents me from developing whats most important: my senses. Talking of senses, i researched into clairvoyance briefly and can say the one that i feel wothin is claircognizance (man does it feel good to have a name for something i could only try to describe before).
Claircognizance, in my case, often manifests as little things that i know will happen before they actually do, and i have extensive memories of different occasions when i felt this happen: once in middle school, when a music instructor asked for a volunteer, and i raised my hand knowing I'd be the chosen one (i was); feeling my valorant match was doomed even when we had a large advantage (i was so pissed); knowing the word someone I'm listening to will use before they say it; my gut feelings were always rarely wrong, when i just started studying witchcaft and in our first trip to nature i actively searched and found the twig for my magic wand; knowing some people are not trustworthy/not liking someone for apparently no reason and they happen to be a jerk; choosing the right answer without a clue, just because it feels right, or knowing I'm picking wrong because it just feels odd, very different from a blind guess;
Having a feeling that i should deep dive a random subject, no matter if i never heard of it before, because it feels like it has the answers to the storm on my head.
Thing is, i never thought this weird phenomenon and tarot could be tied together, to let this little sentient voice in my head overthrow the basic words on the tarot book guides, i thought differentiating one known meaning from the other was enough, relating them to other knowledges were enough. Just passing the message ahead without much disturbance. But i feel it's not anymore
This is absolutely not an excuse to drop tarot study and just go around spitting feelings, no, it's an opportunity to boost my knowledge so i feel confident enough not to open a book and make sure it's right, trusting the feeling is enough.
Not only that, claircognizance sure played a huge part in my abilities to pick up the cues Hekate has given me up to this point, to read and understand Her signs, to know if She's pleased.
The more i look into it the more i believe this won't be just a mere test with tarot, but maybe a step up on my slow going studies, a way to make tarot less "square" for me and effectively introducing it to my routine (as i should, a long time ago)
If everything goes right, my blog will undergo big changes, i usually like to rebuilt accordingly ;)

I feel Her every call
When I was still young and oblivious about other religions, the name Hekate stood up in a book among many others, I could never forget Her ever since
In 2019 when I hit rock bottom and nothing could offer me the comfort I so desperately needed, She lighted up my way toward the first steps in the Art
In 2020 she gifted my beloved tool with which I'd start gathering courage to make my first spells
In 2021 I knew She was there when I gave up my vicious job to pursue my dream
And this year I can feel Her again, calling for action, it's time to finally chase my purpose, dive into books and officially start my witchcraft journey.
She gave me strength so I could hold others in a difficult time, She offered me opportunities so I could deepen my intuition, Her torches are guiding me towards Her path so She can handcraft my life to Her plan
It was Her, every time the moon would keep me company in the car during any little travel, it was Her keeping my believes in Magic from childhood until now so strong.
Every time, when I was still a toddler questioning my mom about her god and being reprehended, in every nap I took during masses in the church, the books I'd sneak into religious classes to avoid the bible, the feeling that I'd never fit among my people no matter how hard I tried.
It was the things that I bought and never got to use, all ready to go whenever She'd call me. The black notebook that was gathering dust in my drawer that now I'm adorning to be my Shadow Book; the crystals and shells that came to me one way or another and I never had the courage to throw them away; the stack of books I got to download but only read so far.
Everything leading to this moment of awakening, this adrenaline to gather all the knowledge I can, my creativity tingling to come up with tarot reading structures, spells, prayers and even the will to shout to the world about Her and Her power even knowing they will not accept my decision.
My heart's filled to the brim with her light and our journey is still just beginning. โจ
Hey, I'm Sam, pisces, not a minor lol and I have a silly question :") Will B pisces and I ever date? Thank you for doing free readings, have a nice day
XVII - The Star
Perspective is very positive, relationship-wise the Star indicates a great relationship approaching, have hope in the things you want to achieve but remember, only dreaming is not enough, stand up and make things happen.
The attention point regarding the Star is to keep a foot on the ground while dreaming, not to let yourself be falling for delusions.
Much luck for you Sam, hope things turn out the best way possible ๐
Hello hope you're doing well!!!
I'm here for a free reading.
I want to know what's going on in my relationship with my significant other, like what does he thinks of me and our relationship .
My initials are A M, his initials are D A
Thank you
Have a nice day ahead ๐
Hello! I'm doing fine, thanks for asking! Here I chose to make a simple spread, the left card represents you, the right card represents D and the bottom card represents your relationship. In this spread I'll try to envision both of you which might be wrongful, my apologies if that's the case.
You: VI - The Lovers
Represented by this card I can tell you're a romantic person, passionate and a great partner, you may be the most emotional of the two and you want to build a strong relationship with D.
On the other side, you might be the one that is too needy, because you're more emotional you're more willing to take impulsive decisions.
D: XI - Strength
This card suggests D is a calm companion, he's a very strong person but he lacks confidence in himself. The Strength talks a lot about controlling our inner lions, our impulses, I assume he's so controlled that he becomes more reserved and might not express his true feelings towards you.
If you're the most romantic of the two and constantly show affection, his self doubt may lead him to think he's not worth of a person like you. In this case, he loves you way more than he shows.
Your relationship: X - Wheel of Fortune
This card represents a wheel that is always moving, like time, but it suggests your relationship feels a bit unpredictable, with a lot of ups and downs, nothing seems to be the same for very long, that's what gets you bamboozled and unsure about his feelings.
If that's true, the best you can do it to try and be on the same page, bring more stability to your life and make good of the time you have together, do not let outside problems get too in the way of enjoying the time you have for yourselves.
I hope this has helped you in any way, may you figure out the root of the problem and solve it the best way possible โค
My initials are T.A.L โ๏ธ๐ฑ
My question is will I meet my future spouse in November 2024?
A quick ask asks for a quick answer.
And IX of Wands has a quick answer, even though you've been through a lot, waited a lot, it's not the time yet. But worry not, everything you've learned, everything you've experienced were not in vain, you've become stronger and is less likely to succumb to old tricks now. Don't give up now, don't lose focus.
X of Cups is here to reassure you. It's the tenth card of a whole different suit, when your journey in Wands is done, you'll trail a new path. I can't tell how long the new adventure will last, but in the end of it, you'll achieve happiness, and find the love you're longing so much for. There will be plenty of reason to celebrate.
Rooting for this outcome to be true as soon as possible, may the Gods bless your journey โจ
May I say this reblog made my day, it's really incredible to read other's experiences ๐งก so I feel the need to share a little update!
The left pic is more or less the day I collected the small offering from the original post (september 11th 2023).
The right pic is the very same rosemary, today (may 4th 2024), and look how beautifully it has grown every since, it's been strong and healthy and gives me absolute no worries, not to mention its scent is absurdly delicious, it is truly blessed.
And also today, I've decided it was about time to give it a well deserved trim, and of course it was time for a gratitude offering.
First of all I chose a size for the plant to be wholly trimmed, and of course the first branch would be in Her honor. It makes me so happy to see how far both my plant and I have come and to be able to offer a piece of our growth with the one that is always looking out for us, one branch at a time ๐๐๐
And here's the plant after trim, I matched the previous taller branches to the shorter ones that will hopefully grow newer ones soon ๐ฟ
Heya Hekate!
Small offerings are enough โจ
A while ago I got a small to medium rosemary plant, I've been feeling like caring for plants. I have special interest for the ones I can do infusions and curing, prefer aromatic and ornamental plants rather than flowers, but the most important of all, I was trying keep the plant alive because unlike my mom, I do not have that green thumb (and she'd take over in case the plant started getting ill)
The first sprout I harvested would be offered to Hekate, as it was Her the responsible for my awakening, so I left it by my altar to dry.
Once considerably dry I burned it in Her honor, along with music that chanted Her name, expressing my gratitude for so many blessings in a very personal and warm moment.
Where I live, with my parents I'm unable to follow certain traditional rites to their core. The best place to contact Hekate is on crossroads, where people leave their tributes or the leftovers of their crafts (with ecological consciousness). At the moment I can't really go in and out bringing offerings, so I fight with the weapons I have available.
But how do I know the offering was successful, that it was received and pleased Lady Hekate like I intended to?
First of all, putting your intention, wherever you are, will be the fuel the offering needs to achieve its destiny. Second, you will feel that not only said offering completed its course but also that it pleased (or not) the deity you want to contact.
As I've read on an older Hekatean devotee's testimony, Hekate is a subtle Goddess, her signs are deep and not at all noisy.
For me, the message came as an incredible sense of peace, happiness and realization, that small moment of connection made me feel like that's what I was born to do, how I wished to have awakened earlier in life as at the same time I'm grateful for having the opportunity to experience it now.
Rosemary is not Hekate's favorite herb, but it is my favorite, and what feels more special than being offered something that another person loves and desires to share with you? I think the Gods feel the same way, if your offer is filled with gratitude, positiveness, respect and strong intentions, it'll be appreciated.
Heya Hekate!
Hi ! I'm new here and my lovelife is going downhill . .. Could you please tell me if I am gonna find someone or go back to someone from the past : ))
Lots of love <3
Everything points to new beginnings! Unless you've had incredibly fruitful past relationships, the ones you truly grow and cherish wholeheartedly, it's most likely a new flame is about to be lighted.
It'll come as lightning, unpredictable and explosive, the one that will create the flame, and it'll be up to you two care and nourish that flame for it to grow and stabilize, yet set boundaries so it won't burn you and everything around.
Most importantly, you'll have to let go of the past, accept what's broken can no longer be glued together, there's still people around you in the present, it's time to look ahead rather than back.
I wish you lots of wisdom in your path, Gods bless you โจ
