This is a masterpost of tarot & oracle card spreads. None of them are mine; this is solely a compilation of various spreads found on tumblr. I’ve broken them down into sections to sort through them with ease. This is not a full list, but do enjoy the spreads listed below. Note: Witchcraft is NOT a replacement for medical care. Seek the services in your area if you need help.
A charm is any object, usually pocket-sized, that’s charged with energy of some kind. An example is a lucky charm that’s worn as a necklace or a lock of hair charged with energy from the person it came from.
Charms can sometimes be called talismans, totems or pendants. Regardless of the name, with slight connotations, these little items can be used the same way.
I use charms when sometimes a crystal isn’t specific enough for my Intent (spell, ritual). Sometimes I’m doing an Intent based on my job but Citrine, also known as the Merchant’s Stone, isn’t quite specific enough, I’ll include a charm I charged with a specific energy.
For example let’s say I really need a specific day off but my job needs as many employees as it can schedule so often times they deny requests for time off, I’ll do an Intent using a golf pencil I took from the scheduling office.
I also collect the charms I have so that I can reuse them whenever an Intent needs it. Or, if it’s appropriate for the day, I’ll carry the charm in my pocket all day.
How to charge Charms
The easiest way to charge any object as a charm is if it already has a personal meaning to it. Choose something that reminds you of whatever that energy is. I have two cross pendants; one is wooden that reminds me of Catholicism and the second is metal and reminds me of Protestants. (Not because one is primitive to the other but because one came before the other.)
Once you have chosen an item and it’s meaning is clear, it’s time to charge with energy.
Purify the space you’re in to rid of residue energy (e.g. burning incense)
Use crystals for meditation and visualization, utilize crystal grids (simple or complex)
Write the specific meaning/significance/value of the charm on a piece of paper so you have a clear interpretation of it (you could make a prayer/incantation)
Burn a purple candle and drop wax on the paper connecting your Third Eye/Psyche to the energy attaching itself to the charm (one or two drops per charm, don’t waste a whole candle on one)
Once you have your Charms
Cataloging them in your guild book wouldn’t hurt. Like I mentioned, you can use them in specific Intents or carry them with you. Gift them to friends so they have energies around them. I also collect mine in a box so they aren’t randomly roaming around.
I like to use Charms in my Intents because they’re reusable, less waste and I don’t have to worry about purchasing new ones as if they run out (unless you give it away or lose it). Although I’ve come to realize the best charms are the ones I find randomly on the ground or in an old drawer. They radiate an energy that’s almost communicative like when grandparents tell you a simple memory but it sticks with you forever.
Enjoy your Charms. Happy witching. Questions, comments and criticism are welcome.
This particular section focuses on spellbooks and other books that primarily contain rituals and ceremonies.
I’m only including books that I’ve successfully worked spells from in this list. Also, while I try to provide beginner-accessible recommendations, be aware that some of these books verge into intermediate or even advanced territory. Your mileage, as always, may vary.
Magick, like most things, is what you put into it.
The Goodly Spellbook, by Dixie Deerman and Steve Rasmussen. The title sounds horribly fluffy, but this is a hidden gem. It explains obscure concepts like alternative alphabets and potential uses of musical notes, as well as plant lore and other bits and pieces. Definitely worth checking out. It’s way more than just “a book of spells.”
Encyclopedia of 5,000 Spells, by Judika Illes. The title sounds trite to some, but it delivers. This book has spells from almost every culture and spiritual philosophy, as well as a very detailed formulary. I read it when I’m bored sometimes, too, just because I always learn some tidbit from it.
Book of Spells, by Nicola Pulford. In most editions, this book is absolutely gorgeous and describes spellcasting traditions from a variety of perspectives and traditions. Recommended for those who already understand the basics, as this book jumps straight into spellcasting and gives only a small amount of information about how things work.
1001 Spells, by Cassandra Eason. This book is notable in that it skips with preliminaries and dives right into the spells. For that reason, it’s best suited to those who already have experience with magick. Many of the spells are short, require few ingredients, and are highly practical.
Pastel Spells, by Rose Orriculum. This book takes a very postmodern, utilitarian approach to magick while still having a great deal of flair, inspiration, and beauty. I would almost call it chaos magick, but with more poetic aspects. Unsure if that’s what @orriculum was going for, but I like it, and I recommend it.
The Big Book of Practical Spells, by Judika Illes. This book contains many of the same good features seen in Ms. Illes’s other works, but is significantly more easily digested for beginners. Ms. Illes doesn’t water things down, but she does explain them very well – this would be a great first book for a newbie!
The Modern Witchcraft Spellbook, by Skye Alexander. This book features a large section of basic information at the beginning. The spells, included later in the book, are not overly-fancy nor do they require a bunch of unobtainable props. Of note is the Animal Token spell, which I found very creative and helpful.
The Modern Witchcraft Book of Love Spells, by Skye Alexander. Love spells are a controversial topic, but most witches would agree that certain kinds are almost always helpful. This book mostly avoids messy issues of mind control and emphasizes consent. It provides ample solutions for a lovestruck witch, and is worth picking up if emotional magick interests you at all.
Magic When You Need It, by Judika Illes. This book contains 150 spells total. Quite a few of them enter truly gray areas regarding manipulation, but I can imagine situations where most would be useful. For example, the author includes spells for banishing bad neighbors and a very effective “Gag the Gossips” spell. For intermediate spellcasters.
Protection and Reversal Magick, by Jason Miller. This gets a little unnerving at times, but it gives good advice on protective spellcraft. Take with a grain of salt, though – some of this has the potential to make you feel paranoid.
Give these a look, and maybe you’ll find them helpful!

Worryingly Asbetos is being made into homepoathic wands and reki stones. Most worryingly claiming to cure CANCER, which Asbestos causes.
Being sold to many people under the intentions of “bring a bonding action between one and the subject of one’s desires“and claiming that it’s the “etheric blueprint to correct imbalances and blockages that could manifest as physical disease and to heal cellular memory, one of the best stones for rousing the kundalini energies“
Chrysotile a type of Asbestos is quickly becoming one of the most requested minerals in reiki and crystal healing. And it’s not the only type of Asbestos being sold as a healing crystal.
Above is Richterite, it’s known to be as dangerous as any of the other Asbestos in the six categories and is being sold to people promising ironic cures for liver, pancreas, kidney or breast cancer.
Above is Tigers Eye, everyone knows it looks cool but it is also Asbestos and although polished Health Protection Agency in the U.K., claim these are still dangerous.
While some types of asbestos may be more hazardous than others, all are dangerous. Leading health agencies, including the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the EPA and the International Agency for Research on Cancer, classify all types of asbestos as cancer-causing substances.
The following are all a type of asbestos: chrysotile, amosite, crocidolite, tremolite, winchite, suglite, richterite, actinolite and anthophyllite.
All the identified forms of asbestos can cause asbestosis, malignant mesothelioma, lung cancer, ovarian cancer, laryngeal cancer and other serious diseases and will not cure any form of cancer.
Some agencies, such as the Health Protection Agency in the U.K., claim amphibole varieties of asbestos are the most dangerous forms.
The EPA has abandoned projects aiming to identify which asbestos fiber types are the most toxic, citing the overall regulation of asbestos and asbestiform minerals as a more pressing priority.
EXCUSE ME WTF
Literally my reaction too, for just $20 you can pay to have a lump of raw asbestos shipped to you to cure you of various forms of cancer.
Definitely the Ars Goetia, it’s by far the safest. Find a demon who’s noted as being truthful and faithful to the magician as they’ll probably give you the least trouble and go from there. Some advice:
Make the black handled knife as the grimoire instructs. This is absolutely not optional. If something goes wrong and you don’t have it, you’re fucked. I personally found ferric chloride to be a good way to get the symbols on the blade but most engrave them. There are a lot of articles floating around regarding how to address the blood issue so do your research and disregard anything that says to use your own blood. If you have a friend who’s a vet tech even better.
The lamens are not optional but paper does work. Most goets these days use nice “virgin” (ie new and unmarked) paper
Don’t be a dipshit and try to replace all the names of God and angel names with different ones. These are Abrahamic spirits so use Abrahamic names.
If the demon doesn’t deliver what you agreed to, fuck ‘em up.
NEVER EVER pay beforehand or provide offerings unless the spirit is specifically noted as requiring one (ie Paimon).
The Greater Key has a ton of information regarding the prep work. Use it, especially regarding pre-evocation purification rituals.
