Everything Under the Moon

I dreamt today that I was contacted by a spiritual entity. She was female, and a positive and welcoming presence. This is a very vague memory, one of those dreams that almost immediately slip away when you awake. I'm not even sure when it happened, it was either when I dozed off on the train on my w...

Wednesday 03.05.17 Deck: Slow Holler Tarot Spread: 3 card spread Questions: What to do/What not to do/Things to look out for. The intention was to get a "lighthearted" reading, less about big life decisions and more about small everyday things. 1) Four of Stones (aka Four of Pentacles) rev...

Tuesday 02.05.17 Deck: Slow Holler Tarot Spread: 3 card spread Questions: What can I change? What can't I change? Where do I turn for help? (all questions regarding the potentially difficult changes in the future the last two readings seemed to be warning of.) 1) Death reversed 2) Four of Knives (ak...

I've recently got my first Tarot deck - the Slow Holler Tarot, with which I'm already completely in love, just for the artwork alone! I will defnitely read some books about Tarot; but for now, my plan is to just regularly do 3 card spreads and interpret them by looking up the meaning of each card as...

Lol, teaching myself the overhand shuffle with a new set (my first!) that is just a little bit to big for my hands
I'm dealing, though.

However, I wonder whether the overhand shuffle randomises the reversals enough... :/

Hi, and welcome to the board!

So, which Valiente book would you recommend as a start? "ABC of Witchcraft", "Witchcraft for Tomorrow", and "Rebirth of Witchcraft" all sound interesting, but I have a hard time judging by the synopses what the difference between those books is.

Thank you everybody so far for your responses. I'm of course familiar with the "Great art by bad people"-conondrum, and I haven't really found an answer yet. Maybe there isn't one, maybe people are just too complex for that kind of thinking. Just one very recent example, I recently discove...

I want to read more about witchcraft, preferrably by female (or queer) authors. Doreen Valiente comes up regularly when researching contemporary witchcraft, her writing seems to be essential. So her books look like obvious choices for me to read. And I read she's explicitely inclusive towards LGBT f...

I think you should tell him that it's your religion/spirituality, and ask him to respect that, even if he doesn't understand it. That's really not too much to ask from a lover.

Ok, I have to recommend the new Goldfrapp album. It makes me feel "witchy" and "funky" and "sci-fi" all at once!

Thanks, Kassandra, for your thoughtful post! A lot of what you write makes sense to me. Interesting what you said about "readings", I didn't think about that before. If you say "reading", do you mean divination? I actually intend to buy myself a Tarot deck and get into that; mayb...
