I know in my previous post, I mentioned finding your birth card. But what IS your birth card exactly? It’s the card in the Major Arcana that represents you as a person in tarot. In this post, I’ll teach you how to calculate that quickly by using your birthday!
1. Take your birthday and write it out as follows (for this, I’m using a random date) mm-dd-yyyy: 06 - 22 - 20 02
2. Add the numbers together as such: 06 22 20 + 02 —– 48
3. If you get a double digit number HIGHER than 22 (the number of major arcana in most standard decks), add the numbers separately again until you get a number lower than 22. 4 + 8 —- 12
So, the example here has a Birth Card of 12 which is the Hanged Man, which is the 12th card of the Major Arcana!
*Note: There are some cards that correlate to zodiac signs, elements, etc. I just gave the easiest example relating to numerology.
Please don’t cast circles using Salt outside, especially in the soil. Salt is absorbent and takes water away from plant life, therefore effectively killing off most things.
There is a reason why in the Ancient Near East (Egypt, Mesopotamia, Armenia, etc), Spain, Portugal, etc it was so common to SALT THE EARTH of conquered cities, or even convicted criminals, to prevent
re-inhabitation
. It destroys soil nutrients, absorbency, and heavily delays and/or stops plant growth all together.
So please, my Witchy Siblings, seek safer alternatives when working outside. Cast a circle in stones or branches. Draw one into the soil itself. Use a biodegradable material like eggshells instead. But please, do NOT use Salt.
