✨ Welcome to a New Season of Knit A Spell! ✨

A brand new season of Knit A Spell is here, and this time, we’re diving into the magic of adaptation—in crafting, in magic, and in life. 🌿🧶

In this solo episode, I share some big life updates (hello from Florida! ☀️), why adaptation became the theme for this season, and introduce a brand new segment: Five Foundational Questions that every guest will answer, offering insight into how different makers navigate change.

🔮 In this episode, we explore:

• My personal journey of adapting to a major life change

• How fiber artists and magical practitioners use adaptation as a tool for growth

• My favorite rituals and tools (including tarot and dream journaling!) for navigating change

• The unexpected way my Hex Cloth pattern came to life

• What to do when you feel stuck in your creative practice

This month, we’re diving into your February 2025 horoscopes using a special tarot spread designed just for crafters—The Unraveled Knot Spread! Whether you knit, crochet, weave, spin, or create in any way, this reading will help you untangle creative blocks and find inspiration in your craft.

🌙 In This Episode:

🔹 February 2025 horoscopes for each zodiac sign

🔹 A guided introduction to The Unraveled Knot Spread

🔹 How to read tarot cards as a three-sentence answer

🔹 Featuring the Tarot of the Owls by Pamela Chen & Elisabeth Alba (Llewelyn)

🔹 A special shoutout to Pamela’s past Knit A Spell episode!

🧵 What is The Unraveled Knot Spread?

This tarot spread is a simple and effective way to gain insight into creative challenges. Each card represents:

🪢 The Knot – What is blocking you?

🧵 The Yarn – What resources or energy can help?

🪡 The Needle – What action should you take?

💡 NEW TO TAROT? 

I’ll be showing you how to read each card as a sentence, so by the end, you’ll have a 3-sentence paragraph that answers your question! It’s an easy, intuitive way to get started.

✨ Want to Learn This Spread for Yourself? ✨

I’m creating an online class to teach you how to use The Unraveled Knot Spread—whether for personal guidance or to read for your crafting friends! Sign up for my newsletter at www.LightFromLantern.com/newseltter to be the first to know when it launches!
