My alter atm :)

My alter just pushed to the side, i didn't feel like setting it all up.

The stuff above my alter, since i meditate in front of my alter this is hear for my spirit guide. The string with the close pin holding paper are pre made sigils and a bookmark i made.

This is my pentagram, its just a old dream catcher ring i had with rubber bands cus i cant keep it up.
My sun and moon candle holders, and My flower arrangement for Freya, she loves flowers so i got some fake ones, added some handmade ones i made this morning with some paper and little glitter eggs from easter, the ribbon around the top is a wedding ribbon so i though it fit with her :)

Cinnamon cus thats one of my go to herbs for working, my container with my sigil for blessings from Freya: it just has dandelion seeds, the lady bug candle holder is just holding some dried flowers and buds again to represent Freya and nature. and behind them are just a lot of candles. 

I saw this on pintrest and loved it so i drew it up my way, then colored it. I love that it contains both my wolf and the elements all in one.

This is just a orange covered in whole cloves it makes a pomander ball. (whole cloves are what's in my bowl)  I love the smell and wonted to make one so this is my first one lol figures crossed it works out lol.  Oh and the bowl is what I use to burn things or mix stuff ie my cauldron. 

This is a vile of sigil infused water I made and the candle in the back is a white one i love that i drew the goddess and god moon symbol in repetition along the top.

I rely on salt like  more then normal cus thats all I had to protect me when  I was younger so i tend to keep a vile of it. This is just some i keep in a old medication bottle the cap has the rune for protection and under the cap is a drawn pentagram.

And this is just a MTG mat that i tend to use to practice stuff on like Cartomancy lol. I plan on getting one thats more shall we say pagany but that requires customizing a pic and then getting it printed and stuff and I don't have money for that atm.

Playing Cards: Cartomancy

Ive been always drawn to tarot. In fact why most girls at age 8 or 9 were buying Goosebumps or Junie B books at the school book fair I was buying a mini tarot card set. They were my pride and joy at the time lol. I use to pull a card every day or spend the day reading the book that came with it. Unfortunately I lost the little mini cards do to how I grow up and always moving around. *sad panda face*

Fast forward to now. Ive yet to get a big tarot deck because the option is just not available to me atm but for the last couple of years Ive thought about using playing cards to fulfill my needs. Especially when I watched the show Psychic Tia and seen her Gypsy Witch Fortune Telling Playing Cards and I know that it was for me.
So I set about studying how to use playing cards till I get around to buying the Gypsy Witch Fortune cards and have to admit that this is a lot easier to remember and understand if your starting out then a full tarot deck. The spreads can be just as complex or just overly simple. The meanings are short and to the point, and although its hard at times to combine them, that I will admit, it actually makes you think about the spread and whats happening overall. I have to admit I'm loving it to pieces.
