Tarot Reading for Pets

Ever wonder what your furry (or feathered, or scaly) friend is really feeling? Tarot can help bridge the communication gap between you and your beloved companion.

Here’s a gentle 3-card spread to tune into your pet’s energy:

1. How is my pet feeling?

Uncover the emotions or energies your pet is experiencing—comfort, anxiety, joy, or perhaps something deeper.

2. What does my pet need right now?

This card highlights what they may be craving—more rest, stimulation, space, or simply extra cuddles.

3. What can I do to support my pet better?

Receive intuitive guidance on how to show up for them more lovingly and intentionally.

This reading is especially helpful if your pet has been acting out of character, recovering from something, or just seems off. Pull with compassion and keep treats nearby—you might just unlock a new level of connection.

Don’t forget: animals feel energy too. Be soft, be open, be love.

🌙 Witchcraft Masterpost: 🛁 Cleansing and Purifying Energy

purify (verb) - to remove contaminants 

We’ve all seen it in the horror movies. A cute, unimposing family moves into a new home, and things start getting creepy. Doors open and close on their own, strange voices start showing up on the baby monitor, and the kids are playing hide and seek with someone that isn’t there. Then, before these suburbanites know what hit ‘em, there are G H O S T S™ everywhere. How do these innocent protagonists often deal with their new spiritual occupation? Do they move away? Do they call their friendly neighborhood witch for assistance like any responsible ghostbuster would do? No. Out comes their handy dandy Sage Stick™ as they attempt to cleanse the house of evil entities. 

While the idea is visually appealing enough for cinema (and while ritualistic sage cleansing is a real and effective Native American practice), in the movies it never really seems to do anything but piss the demonic entity off. Metaphysically, these newbies might be failing because there is much more that goes into cleansing energy than just burning some sage and walking around your house. 

Why do you need to purify things? 

Physical objects are like energy sponges, and as time goes on, they soak up the energy of everything around them. Lots of witches these days are familiar with how crystals operate, so I’ll use a crystal as an example. 

The first time you pick up a crystal in a shop, it absorbs some of your energy as it rests in your hand. As you purchase it, it absorbs the energy of the register. It absorbs some of the energy of the bag it’s put in, and it absorbs some of the energy around you as you walk out of the shop and back to your car. It absorbs the sound of you singing along to the radio on the car ride home. It absorbs the energy of your house as you take it inside. It absorbs the energy of your altar as you first set it down. It absorbs the energy of every spell you do with it, and it absorbs the energy of everything that happens around it - every time you speak or worry or laugh or cry or anything. It is always there, absorbing and collecting whatever ambient energy it encounters. 

These stray energies build up over time, eventually clouding the crystal and disrupting its own unique vibration. After a while, the crystal might start to act erratically in spellwork, even backfiring at times. Under extreme stress (environments that are particularly erratic, emotional, and/or negative), the crystal may even build up so much excess energy that it shatters. 

Even worse, let’s say you have the crystal in your pocket one day, and you get into an argument with someone. The crystal will also absorb that aggressive, argumentative energy. If it absorbed enough of it, it will start attracting that energy to you whenever you carry it or use it. You might start getting into a lot of arguments all of a sudden, and obstacles might start appearing everywhere you turn. The same could happen if the crystal encountered any negative or oppressive energy, like sadness, regret, or suffering. (Side note: When houses/locations absorb a lot of violent, stressful, aggressive energy, they often begin to manifest poltergeists)

The purpose of cleansing/purifying, as a witch, is to rid an object of these built-up energies - to bring it back to a pure, unaltered state. You are essentially setting it free of all its baggage and allowing it to vibrate how it naturally wants to. 

It isn’t only crystals that can be/need to be purified (tho crystals are much more sensitive to energy than almost anything else and do need to be purified regularly). Literally any object you can imagine holds onto energy in some way. Some other things that you may want to cleanse at least every once in a while: 

altar / altar space

bedroom

car

living space

ritual tools

talismans

yourself 

Basic Energy Cleansing

There are an infinite number of techniques you can use to cleanse or purify something. Every culture throughout history has invented some way of doing this, so study up and see what works. 

The most basic way of cleansing something uses only your own energy and willpower. Be mindful, though, that it is easy for stray energies to latch onto you when using this technique, so grounding afterwards is imperative. 

Begin by heightening and focusing your own energy through meditation, focused breathing, or whatever way you personally choose to harness your own energy.

Connect with the object you wish to cleanse. Touch it with your bare skin, and allow your energy to pour into it. Feel it out, and try to detect anything contaminating the object - anything that feels wrong, conflicting, or out of place.

After you have successfully attuned to the object, visualize your energy rushing through the object like a stream of water.

As it passes through, visualize your energy pulling out everything that doesn’t feel like it belongs, anything contaminating or polluting. When I use this spell, I like to imagine particles of dust or sand being swept up and taken away. 

After your energy has flowed through the object completely, allow it to flow back into you. Don’t let it rest inside of you, though. Immediately take the contaminated energy and direct it firmly into the ground, where it can be taken away from you and completely recycled by the earth. 

Repeat this process until the object’s energy has been entirely cleansed of anything that feels conflicting or out of place. 

Other Techniques

Cleansing with salt: If the object is small enough, put the object in a bowl and cover it in white or pink salt. Allow it to sit overnight. 

Cleansing with water: If the object can safely be put in water (some crystals cannot), place it in a bowl of clean water (preferably river water, ocean water, rain water, or moon water) and allow it to sit overnight. If possible, leave it outside in the moonlight while its soaking.

Cleansing with smoke: Very similar to the basic energy cleansing technique described above, except you visualize the tendrils of smoke reaching into the object and pulling out any contaminants. Instead of grounding the energy afterward, open a window and allow the wind to carry the smoke away. 

Cleansing with sound: Also similar to the energy cleansing technique described above, except sound waves penetrate the object and expel anything that shouldn’t be there. Love to do this with Tibetan singing bowls, but you can really use any kind of sound, even your own voice. Instead of grounding the contaminant energies afterward, imagine the sound waves pushing them very far away from you. 

Cleansing with sunlight/moonlight: Expose the object to bright sunlight/moonlight and let it sit for a while. 

Cleansing a living space with a broom: Sweep all of your floors, preferably sweeping east to west, starting in the center of your home and moving outwards. End by sweeping all of the collected dust out the door.

Self-Cleansing Bath/Shower: Essentially the same idea as cleansing an object with water, except you’re doing it to yourself in the shower or bath. Pro-Tip: Use a bath bomb with strong peppermint, sandalwood, or frankincense oils for added power. 

Brightest blessings, and best of luck 🕉

Study tips for herbalists

A lot of people ask me about how to start learning about herbs and which courses are good, so I decided to put this together for you guys!

Resources

Herbmentor.com

Here are a few useful herbs that are good to start out with

Check out my recommended books

Paul Bergner has excellent information and courses available here

The East West School of Planetary Herbology is a great place to take courses

The Lunar Apothecary is a great for leaning about herb magic and lunar herbology

This website will help you to find local plants (USA only)

Bear Medicine Herbals

Herbcraft.org

Herbal Remedies Advice

Tips

Check out local plant societies to see what activities they have planned. Some of them offer free plant walks that will help you to get to know your local plants

Start experimenting with your (safe) local weeds first. For many of you, this means sorrel, dandelion, plantain, violet leaf, and ground ivy.

Get your warnings and safety information from reputable books and herbalists, not social media (tumblr). There are many rumors on this site about what is and isn’t poisonous, please don’t believe everything you read!

Keep a few materia medica books on hand to check for contraindications and safety instead. My go-to books for checking whether an herb is okay with me are located in the recommended books post above

Pick 1 herb a month to really focus on. Keep in mind that you can do a lot with a few herbs, some of them have dozens of uses

Learn about your herbs by tasting and using them, not just reading! Personal experience is more important than book knowledge (except when it comes to safety)

Equipment

JARS (check the thrift store for cheap finds)

Alcohol - I usually use 80 proof vodka for tinctures but you can also use brandy depending on what you’re making

Oils- I like grapeseed oil and coconut oil

Funnels

Cheese cloth for straining herbs

Kitchen scale

French press (easy way to make loose leaf tea)

Idea of what to start making with herbs

Bruise/injury salves

Bug sprays

Calming tinctures/teas

Digestive tinctures/teas

Pain tinctures

Fomentations

Poultices

I probably forgot a lot of stuff so Ill be adding more in the future!
