Assuming society hasn’t entirely collapsed 40 years from now, low key hope this’ll be my vintage occult portrait à la Patricia Crowther and them early British gards. Featuring the Great Mother as the Keeper of the Holy Serpent. #witchsky

Got my new book by @blakemalliway.bsky.social and got a sneak peek at the new @crossedcrowbooks.bsky.social offices! All in all, a stellar day! @lucaofspades.bsky.social #witchsky #booksky #folklore #folkloring #fetch #folkloresky #folksky

We have tension, then release. Those eight swords relax, giving space for that tiny flower to grow into a single coin. Anxieties are quelled, and the mind can focus. Cultivate stillness before assessing a situation. #tarotsky

Be careful—you’re being played! The distraction in front of you pulls your attention away from the real game. #tarotsky

Not so much a “collective reading” but a reflection. We look to the past for the secrets guarded by the Popess, hoping to control a grim future. But the Wheel turns, out of our reach. All we can do is stand on the support of beloveds to weather sharp omens. #tarotsky

Notice how the Knight of Cups dawdles off from the intimate party. He is distracted, staring at Death affectionately. This Knight is all in his feels; but instead of building connections, he mulls over existential questions. Featuring Hidden Tales Tarot #tarotsky

When reading any set of cards, I keep a motto in mind, which drives my approach to interpretation: “Nothing means anything, so anything can mean something.” Meaning is derived from context and not fixed meanings. #tarotsky

A spread fashioned off a sprouting plant. Center card is your current position Bottom flanking two cards are the roots—that which is firm, uncontrollable factors. Top flanking cards are what nourish you Top card is what's forming in your life Deck by @mxfrankduffy.bsky.social #tarotsky

In Wildwood, St Brigid is the lover of Our Lady and the midwife of the Devil. She stands watching the happenings in the Worlds and beholds all who are born and all who die. “She is, as she always has been, the Healer, the Poet, the Smith. Goddess and Saint, we honour Her.”Happy Candlemas! #witchsky

JM David - Reading the Marseille Tarot!

Interested in reading with pip decks like the Tarot de Marseille? My go-tos: Tarot on Earth - @tombenjamintarot.bsky.social Toward the Art of Reading - Camelia Elias Read Like the Devil - Camelia Elias Untold Tarot - Caitlin Matthews What recs do other pip deck readers have? #tarotsky

What *practical* books do you recommend to folks interested in Witchcraft? My go-tos include: Witchcraft for Tomorrow - Doreen Valiente (looove her ❤️) Mastering Witchcraft - Paul Huson Ecstatic Witchcraft - Fio Gede Parma A Deed Without a Name - Lee Morgan #witchsky

This book was instrumental in helping me identify my vocational path. It’s also a great practical intro to astrology! I would highly recommend it to anyone at a crossroads in life. (PS Astrology for Real Life by Theresa is bomb too 💣) #tarotsky #witchsky #astrosky

Think your astrology chart is set in stone? Think again! In Twist Your Fate, I show you how to work with the stars + cards to shape your destiny on YOUR terms. Once you understand your strengths, flaws + how to work around challenging vibes, you CAN succeed. www.thetarotlady.com/twist-your-f...

How do y’all use your divinatory cards in your magical practice? When I read for myself (rare!) and I’m not digging the outcome, I’ll perform a spell that involves manipulating the cards in the spread. The power of the witch lies in weaving the tapestry with Fate. #witchsky #tarotsky

Found this photo of my little one reading the cards. The Brut Tarot emphasizes tarot’s roots as a game. In this reading, the knight of spades and knight of diamonds are in conflict. Though a minor dispute, Force was the surprise card, indicating stiff resistance. #tarotsky #witchsky #dogsky

I have received the first proofs of my forthcoming book on the folklore of churches and churchyards from my publisher, Crossed Crow Books. What's not to like about this gloriously ornate title page? You can pre-order now from www.crossedcrowbooks.com/shop-crossed... or at most bookstores.
