Phoenix 🪽

forgot to say I finished all of my altar jars, I'm just adding the final touches by melting themed candles to seal the lids. they're not Perfect or expertly made, but they're made by me with care & intention so I think that means more

tarot deck edges; two are plain white whilst acotar is grey, occult tarot has red foiled edges & mythos tarot has rose gold foiled edges

all of my tarot decks ft their style of edges 🫶🏼 (I have one more on the way themed after supergiant hades)

my first protection spell jar, primarily featuring the fur of my dog who passed in 2022. there are other personal ingredients involved. a candle is burning to seal the lid with wax

a closer look at the spell jar. you can't clearly see the inside, as it's mostly fur, but there's a heart shaped crystal at the center alongside some clear & rose quartz pieces

baby's first spell jar

I made a protection spell jar & I incorporated some of my baby's fur that I've had in a lil bag since she passed. gonna keep me safe even when she's not here anymore

finally doing a deck interview with my Ars Goetia deck, stay tuned

i am now Officially Broke for the remainder of the year but I managed to snag myself a deck from the hades supergiant zine 😭 they were fully out of stock & no longer going to be printed, but I sent them an email & they offered me a spare. AAHHH. I feel so insanely lucky

all of my altar jar pieces are almost here which is exciting 🫶🏼 I can't wait to put them together.

a tarot card, the chariot, featuring the demonic entity Andras from Travic McHenry's demon tarot deck. Based on the Ars Goetia / Lesser Key of Solomon. The image is of a humanoid body with large wings and the head of an owl, wielding a sword and riding on the back of a wolf. The card is white, but it features a bright red blood splatter across the surface. Binding sigils cover the card, with the warning words "he can kill the master, the servant and all assistants" marked in the bottom right corner.

this deck is sooo beautiful but this Single card in the entire deck being the only one with a blood splatter is so 🧍🏼‍♂️

I bought the slightly scary demon deck 🧍🏼‍♂️

ON THE OTHER HAND. the angel version by the same creator 👁👁 eyes Wide open

a photo of the tarot deck "Occult Tarot," which is themed around the Ars Goetia / Lesser Key of Solomon and details known demon sigils from Demonology. The cards shown feature Camio, Buer, Lucifuge Rolocale, Sitri and Azazel.

this is the deck 🫶🏼 I Love reading about the Ars Goetia & Lesser Key of Solomon but ough. handling something used for divination & communication that bears actual demonic sigils? supremely scary actually

there's a very specifically themed deck centered around a huge interest of mine that I'm dying to get, but am also. rightfully frightened by. I would be just as respectful & careful with it as any other deck, but it makes my heart race a little.

my glass altar jars arrived today, so now I just have to wait for the components to arrive too and I can begin putting them together 🫶🏼 they're a gorgeous shape & much bigger than I expected, which I really like.

went shopping with a friend after class & found an INSANELY gorgeous deck in a book store. almost succumbed to the impulsive Urges despite the price but I found it on ebay instead 🫶🏼

I FEEL THAT. sometimes just doing little daily readings can be fun & make the process easier over time

fuck it we ball. it's cheaper to make my own altar jars than to buy them from etsy sellers because there's no one local to me. for the price of one single etsy jar, I've ordered items for all four I want to make. maybe they won't look perfect but it'll be handmade with love & care by me

why the fuck am I missing my spelling mistakes so badly lately 😭 Im making myself look so stupid. girl stop!!

they're so beautiful though and it'd give me Something to show I'm serious & offering respect. I don't feel comfortable establishing Deity work before I can have a place for them physically

I really want to put together a decent altar when I can but the things that resonate with me the most in terms of what I can safely & effeciently display in my small space ARE SOOO expensive coming from america to the uk. I could probably only invest in 1 every couple of months

Thank you so much Rei!! That's so sweet of you to say and I really appreciate you commenting. 🫶🏼 I'd hate to follow someone out of the blue if they don't know me but I'm So open to meeting anyone who feels & has experience with these things

PHOENIX. Phoenix's spirituality carrd.

ANYWAY. subjecting myself to the mortifying ordeal of being Known. made a carrd faesun.carrd.co

IM TRYING NOT TO BE EMBARRASSED and that's the worst part!! everytime I open up to someone, I preface it by saying "it's ok to laugh at me!" as if that'll lessen any ridicule aimed at me. I hate how self conscious I feel because my change in beliefs is very. Different for me. augh

the thing that's come as most surprising to me in relation to all of this is deity work. I've always loved reading into & researching pantheons, but it was never really My avenue. yet that's completely changed recently. it'd be very cool to know if anyone else connects with that too & in what way

I'm not experienced at all so I've been taking my personal readings with a grain of salt, but I've also been reaching out to much more experienced practioners to see if they Do have merit and the results are so, so interesting. they've been fully confirming my thoughts and it's. a lot to think about

okay bluesky wont let me follow people back here??? FOR NOW I GUESS

rattling the bars on my cage because I Want to speak to people about things but OOUGHHH. I can talk to my boyfriend and my irl friend but I am Still going insane in my enclosure
