Four of Swords

Meaning: When the Four of Swords is dealt in a reading, it is a sign that you need to take some personal downtime-a retreat or a day off so you can recoup lost energy and find your strength again. The querent may be feeling overwhelmed by demands and stress. They may feel the need to get away and to withdraw from the hectic and daily grind of life. This card symbolizes that you need to allow yourself time to recover from an illness. It may also represent a need to step away from group magick for a bit. You may need to practice solitarily for a time. You will find the solutions to your magickal problems quietly and on your own.

Keywords: Taking some downtime for yourself. Resting and allowing yourself to fully recover from an illness. Recouping lost energy. Working magick as a solitary for a while, and finding your focus.

Spell: Krampus Holiday Fun Spell

Color of the Day

WHITE

Incense of the Day

APRICOT

Krampus is the original “wild man” of the Yuletide season. Though he has a reputation for being a rather stern figure, he’s usually the life of the party.

If the holidays have you depressed, place a small piece of mistletoe in a bag (mistletoe is poisonous, so keep it wrapped up!) and say the following words over it:

May I be merry,

May I be bright,

Never contrary,

A Yuletide delight.

Krampus, hear my plea.

This is my will, let it be!

The powers of Krampus and the mistletoe will help you overcome any holiday malaise and make you the center of attention at any office Christmas party.

WITCH TIPS

•collect salt packets from restaurants/cafes. you can do so much with these things

•set up a cleansing and charging station. arrange crystals in a pattern that draws energy out of an object, put out a bowl of salt & various herbs, have a bottle of (moon) water at the ready, or whatever cleansing method you prefer. this way if you ever need to get clogged up or negative energy out of a crystal, pendulum, or any object, you can quickly cleanse it and charge it with positive energy.

•if you practice astrology, have a folder in your notes app with friends & families star signs or birth charts for easy access

•for those who wear bra’s or bralettes, put a salt packet in the left of your bra and switch it out at the end of the day. having the salt close to your heart all day will aid in emotional cleansing, so its great for a witch with mental illness or anxiety, or getting over someone. doing this everyday has helped me SO much. its so clever.

•draw or paint any sigils/ruins/witchy symbols on the soles of your shoes or anywhere else on your shoe (or draw sigils onto tape if u don’t want to draw on your shoe). the dirt & water coming into contact with your shoe will charge the sigils and send the energy out into the world and into the wearer, and the kinetic energy from walking and running will charge the sigil aswell. grounding sigils will work particularly well for this tip.

•save binural beats, meditation music, or chakra balancing music onto your phone and use it as an aid to meditate on the bus, train, school, or work.•collect salt packets from restaurants/cafes. you can do so much with these things

•set up a cleansing and charging station....
