giving myself tarot readings

Mhm. Really it comes down to what you feel is right. Your craft is your craft, and you have every right to choose how you do so. Spells aren't your thing? No need to do them. Divination too difficult? Don't worry about it. It's up to you on how you practice.

I got rainwater :DDDDDDDDDDDd

I found out my spirit familiar's name and she is gorgeous!! Her name is Silverian or Silver for short.

I mostly stalk this chat and occasionally speak up, but I was wondering if anyone can help me out a bit?

so, it's kind of a long and weird thing. in short, my boyfriend's been dealing with this entity that would follow him home after dark, that gave off vibes of insane hunger and showed itself occasionally out of the corner of his eye. I wasnt sure how serious it was until I walked home with him just out of curiosity, and it turned out to definitely be something. very often, it seemed inclined to get us to look in reflections in windows or the ponds near his house? setting that aside for a second, there's another thing that seemed unrelated for a bit. he had this dream when he was younger involving a tree across a couple ponds from his house, that involved him performing a spell and trying himself to the tree, which is definitely dying. one day, he and I were walking in the snow, and something that was following us started leading us to that tree

while wandering around near it, I found a rock that was weirdly captivating for being just a literal rock, though it was kinda smooth. without thinking much about it, he asked me to grab it when I pointed it out, and tossed it into this hole in the tree that goes down into the trunk. I started seeing the thing that had led us there more often, once in a picture I took that day, and just on any walk I went on. we've been leaving little things for it, too, at the tree, and I've been talking to it

seems completely unrelated, until today, when we found one of the ingredients mathew had seen in his dream. I was just out with him and the entity that usually stalks us seemed to just be hanging around, more there than hunting, and giving off a very feline vibe. he had had a dream a little while ago about helping a very large cat across the street, which seemed to click with both of us. so, the two things seem connected and I'm not quite sure what's going on. the entity now seems to mean absolutely no harm, apparently satisfied with something, and just kind of hanging around.

I'm not worried, just curious if anyone knows what might be going on with either thing, or why they're connected?

Since I'm still a baby witch I don't have a lot of things, right?
I do have an altar, but it's very empty
When I was little I collected rocks
Not normal rocks, but, like, rocks that are really useful
Like, I just have clear quartz
The witchcraft was showing at a young age :)
And going through and identifying these is making me really happy

@crocs

I just read through what you sent but I’m sorry to say that I am not sure as what was going go on, nor why they were connected.

that's perfectly fine! we're kinda just figuring it out together, taking care to stay safe just in case. thanks for trying though!

Gonna go greet the local fae, any tips?

Don't accept any gifts lmao

Berries!
Anything shiny, but make sure it doesnt have a personal tie to you. (sans iron)
Any properly distilled alcohol and/or sweet wine.
Crystals. Uncharged, but cleansed.

ahhhh thats all I can think of off the top of my head

Also, if anyone else has an altar, I was thinking we could post photos!
Mine is definitely a baby altar but I could post something–

I can try lol, mines hidden in a bookshelf since I'm in the broom closet. I just got all my candles taken, which sucks, but you know, still a pretty good altar.
I've got a shelf full of my crystals, some dirt, water, regular rocks, etc. Then I've got my money spell, some of my offerings, then I had some booze on there for the Big D, but took it off a few days ago.
I also have lots of just random jars filled with shiny stuff, jewelry, rocks, etc.

The Big D

Ya boi is actually doing their BOS today, adding some herbs' properties for the ones I have around the house

Interrupting to say that I saw a pin on Pinterest where someone painted a sigil wheel onto a whiteboard and if that's not a great idea then idek anymore

Nice! Btw, excpect a sigil or two in your letter :)
I'm planning my fae altar rn and I have the perfect spot!

Ooh! Where?

A small place behind some bushes

I have a little portable altar, because I cant set up an actual one right now(we're building me a room, so all my stuff has been kicked from the one I unfortunately shared with my sister), but it's not the best

Alright well, some things happened. I was with my father and the dog, so some things had to be inconspicuous. My father used the walk as an opportunity to road-hunt for turkey, and the dog just wanted to get out and be with us.

We came across turkeys twice, on opposite sides of the same open meadow, but couldn't shoot any cuz the dog got in front of us to chase them, and scared them off. My father kept noticing animals, but I noticed more of the plants and insects. We were both pretty coherent with our surroundings (the forest).

We came across a creaking tree grove, and when we decided to sit and rest, I made three offerings using surrounding materials (acorn husks, pine nettles, smaller rocks, pine and cedar twigs). I also invited anything to come eat a banana with me, and I did have one visitor (a bee fly). I then tossed the banana peel into the forest for the animals, and sprinkled some crumbs around the altar of offerings I made. I drew a shoddy general protection sigil in the dirt.

After that, I began to notice an increase in butterflies, and some of these butterflies seemed to only exist once in my feild of vision, then dip out and vanish. One such butterfly traveled with us for a little ways before fluttering over to a bottle, reminding me to pick it up. Another almost landed on the dog. Another came up to my face to say hello before dipping out of sight.

I ran across a crow, patrolling around the area and taking a look at us. I spotted a hawk higher up, canvassing the entire forest.

I thought I heard, in the back of my mind, something faintly calling me by an old name (an alias I used often when playing in the forest as a child). I definitely felt the forest itself welcoming me back home, though things did feel different, like something felt lost. Could be mourning the loss of my mother, or sad to see me grown up and changed. Either way, I was glad to be back.

That's awesome.

Needless to say, you definitely connected with something.

Hnggggh, I think Aphrodite is trying to come into contact-
I keep wanting to wear pink, the next full moon is the pink moon commonly associated with Her, I keep seeing hearts and everything while cleaning my altar I had the sudden want to keep a small heart-shaped dish that used to hold a candle, etc.
I'm also a bit frazzled due to the Fae showing an interest in me as well, I did ask for this though :)
I set out offerings for anyone outside

The worst thing is. I can’t tell if y’all are being serious or just having fun. I’m starting to think having fun based on some posts but okay, random wraith man will sit over here and watch.

Well, I'm being serious, I just like adding humor to most things I do :)
Plus, this is a really good place to get advice for my craft
