Here’s an updated version of my throwing divination set. I’ve added some new pieces to it and stitched some more symbols on the cloth mat for more specific readings <|:^)

↓↓↓ ⁂ Longer Process and Information Post Below! ⁂ ↓↓↓

If you don’t feel like reading, you can keep scrolling a bit :)

The stitching on the mat is definitely not the prettiest work I’ve done, the fabric is from an old shirt so it was kinda stretchy and annoying to work with. Also, I ended up having to usejust regular brown string, since I ran out of proper embroidery thread that matched the previous brown lines I stitched on a while ago, so that made things a bit rougher to sew with. I’m also not the best at freehand embroidery, but I’m still alright with the result  ʕ •ᴥ•ʔゝ♡

I’ll list the pieces and symbols and their meanings below, for my sake since I don’t have a final paper copy, as well as if anyone has suggestions on any more pieces for other meanings I should maybe add later ¯\_(●’◡’●)_/¯

***The mat has two circles, items landing within the inner circle are more directly involved, important or sooner in the reading. Items landing in the outer circle are less directly involved and items landing outside of both circles bear little to no involvment or relation.

It is also divided into the four seasons, which could literally realate to the season itself, or what the season represents: 

Snowflakes ❅ Winter- Solitude, potential negativity, death, standstill, rest, self reflection

Flowers ❀ Spring- Opportunities, potential, beginnings, life, renewal, hope, love, action, growth

Sun ☼ Summer- Positivity, joy, energy, power, productivity, full potenital, enjoyment, freedom, acceptance, love

Leaf ༄ Autumn- Abundance, work paying off, reaping benefits, wealth, change, maturity, gratitude

Pitch: a muppet movie where the muppets play D&D, and it cuts between the muppets around the table and the fantasy being acted out, but instead of it just being the muppets dressed up in D&D fantasy costume, it's celebrity actors but the muppets do the voices, and the actors have to act how those muppets would. Imagine a barbarian played by Jason Momoa voiced by Miss Piggy.

i wish you kinder, softer days that put your heart at ease

some nice things

I think sometimes people forget that witchcraft isn't strictly religious. You can practice and not be wiccan, you can practice and be atheist, you can practice and be christian, witchcraft is not inherently tied tonone religion

Consent in Witchcraft

I feel like a lot of people may need to hear this.

As the cold months come around, I'm beginning to see more and more of a particular kind of magic being encouraged: love magic. Now don't get me wrong, I love a good love spell - when it's for self-love, or generally inviting/invoking love into your life, helping someone else love themselves, things like that.

But do you know what I don't want to see? People casting love spells on other people without their consent. We all complain (especially other AFAB people) how annoying it is when people don't take no as an answer, when they follow us home, when they catcall us from across the street. What's the difference between someone incessantly flirting with you when you've said no and someone casting a love spell on you without your consent?

Witchcraft is a tool. It's not an answer to every single problem you have in your life. If you're going to use magic, please use it in a way that doesn't violate consent. Even if you think they like you back, please don't try to manifest someones love. You deserve to be loved by someone because they want to, not because you've influenced them to.

As always, be safe everyone, and blessed be <3
