welcome to Seer-Spam's center of witchcraft for Tarot readings, general spellcraft, and other esoteric miscellany! all types of the occult welcome and please no fighting.

i got a lot of positive feedback in the mod thread so i went ahead and made a space to continue readings and to let others do things as well.

i want this to be a place for sharing tales, asking guidance, teaching lost arts and there's no wrong way to go about it as long as you're not being an rear end in a top hat.

anyway it doesn't matter if you think it's real or not, the important thing is it makes you feel like you have some sort of control over your life, plus it's fun!

i personally accept questions in-thread (or as PMs if you want to be anonymized) to do situation readings, single card draws, as well as the daily reading - but feel free to contribute in your own way, i'm always excited to see new sides of the occult and witchcraft!

oh and if you plan on using the black arts, always keep your curses clean and simple as complex rituals can easily backfire - remember to always practice safe hex!

C-Spam's Daily Reading for 12/30



Inverted 3 of Cups: thoughts of conformity. Today is a day of reassessing your ideas and obligations. You're letting yourself be peer pressured into toning yourself down for others, or letting them cut corners. Remember that you and your peace of self should come first.

Queen of Swords: perceptive feelings. Today is a day of organizing and sorting your emotional state. It's been chaotic and you've been tugged in too many directions at once. Find your center, and start to piece it together.

Page of Pentacles: actions of desire. Today is a day of rest and relaxation. It's okay if you aren't striving ever forward, everyone needs time to recuperate, treat yourself with something nice.

hello cspam, good morning good morning, it's time for

C-Spam's Daily Reading for 12/31



Inverted 2 of Cups: uncommunicated thoughts. Today is a day of evaluating relationships and discussion. Misheard or misconstrued situations are common, take the time to clarify words before commiting to any one thing lest you pay for it in the future.

Inverted 4 of Cups: disassociated feelings. Today is a day of assessing neglected emotional needs and opportunities lost. Focusing too much on one thing has led you to ignore your other desires, and you've become disillusioned, bored, unbalanced. Try finding something that sparks your interest anew, however brief.

4 of Pentacles: frugal actions. Today is a day of celebration and gratitude for what you have earned. Value is measured in enjoyment, ensure the things you have placed value in are appreciated, and not just taking up space.

Can we invoke death curses and hexes in this thread, or is that verboten as well
that's pretty heavy, and not usually worth the time and energy invested imo, talk like that tends to get the pyres burning. I recommend inconvenience hexes and annoyance poxes, light easy curses that you can safely blame on coincidence - but deep down you'll know. Forgetting your bus pass, forgetting the words to your speech, misplacing your keys muhuhahaha

eye of newt is colloquially called mustard seeds, they're pretty common so i imagine a lot of places have 'em

CC, in the actual spirit of the thread, would you pull a reading for me at your leisure?

for you I've drawn



Inverted Hanged Man: needless sacrifice. You hesitate, sometimes you worry it's been for naught, that your actions haven't had the desired outcome. Take time to step back and reassess your path; is this where you really wish to go? There's still time to change your mind.

CC, in the actual spirit of the thread, would you pull a reading for me at your leisure? I've just applied for a job that I would put in the "dream job, if i dreamed of labor" category and am curious if the cards have anything to say.

Situation / Outcome Read



8 of cups: disillusionment. Your old job im assuming, symbolizing walking away and/or leaving things behind. Perhaps not an amicable seperation, as this card has connotations of abandonment.

Ace of Swords: victory. the future looks bright if you get this job, but its definitely not without it's downsides. Either less time for yourself, or more responsibilities or something that'll make you feel a twinge of regret, but not too much. This card has connotations of power over others so keep that in check.

Fool: beginnings. Well obviously new job new start that's easy, but can also mean a return to simpler times. Ignorance and childlike exuberance are both connotated, so if things seem too good to be true, most times it is.

“Believing this sentence will make you happier”

Please meditate on this
very powerful spell, i agree - belief can shape many things. look at the recent presidency for examples

C-Spam's Daily Reading for 1/1



2 of Swords: indecisive thoughts. Today is a day of evaluation and choice. Days of stalling have taken its toll, one must be chosen before progress can begin, but a blind guess is worse than not choosing at all.

High Priest: feelings of tradition. Today is a day of isolation and rest. Hollow calls for undeserved celebration, agnostic of the situation, reek of purposeful ignorance and toxic self-importance.

9 of Cups: actions of comfort. Today is a day of relaxation and stability. Earned treasures should be enjoyed lest they be taken for granted in the grand scheme of accumulating additional treasures. Give them a second chance

I got a witch for a mom, and thanks to DNA being a dick I got it passed down to me from birth. I gotta admit, one of my first real post-9/11 crack-pings was being in the last stages of my "Magic's not real, gently caress you mom" rebel phase while watching meme-magic literally send TUETNRO into the white house.

Message received and lesson loving learned :stonk:

the unbridled power of concentrated belief can do great and terrible things

I just picked up a book about a kind of Jewish magic called qabalah from my local library. The book is mainly about personal development and turning yourself into a direct channel to God, not sure if it will help with politics.

if you are willing, teach us of the Sephirot, the golems and other things, shared knowledge is useful

C-Spam's Daily Reading for 1/2



inverted High Priestess: repressed thoughts. Today is a day of re-centering and listening. The inner voice cries out unheard, denied subconsciously. Take the time to hearken its message for it is eternal in its diligence

5 of Pentacles: insecure feelings. Today is a day of charity and aid. Debts unpaid and favors owed, desperate times upon us all. Help, just out of arms reach, remains ignorant unless alerted

Temperance: patient actions. Today is a day of adaption and cooperation. To aid and be aided in turn, balance is key - extending too far will cause nothing but exhaustion

Finicums Wake posted:

imo the question of whether there is an historical through-line from, say, the witches of early modern europe and the american settlers to the people who now call themselves witches is interesting

also, i usually get the impression that people today who are into witchcraft, tarot, or other occultlike things don't just see it as imaginary fun

please stop ruining the vibe, i have like three rules for this place cmon

C-Spam's Daily Reading 1/3



Ace of Swords: thoughts of success. Today is a day of goal-setting and planning. Lofty dreams and future doorways remain out of reach laying down, only through effort may they be grasped.

Inverted Strength: insecure feelings. Today is a day for learning limits and boundaries. The perimeter of ability, upon discovery, can yield insight of where vulnerabilities lie and how to solve them.

Inverted Judgement: actions of doubt. Today is a day of evaluation and awareness. Dysphoria is the progenitor of the harshest critic, upon which impossible standards are set, stifling growth and freedom of expression.

Edit: :whitewater: posted this before I read the vibes warning. Real-talk tho, would it absolutely kill the good vibes and I should make a new thread for it, or can I bring up how anti-magic attitudes are literally almost without fail covers for extreme anti-native/racism and misogyny?

no this sounds right at home for this place, the vibes warning is for the drive-by shitposters who bring nothing to the table
