correspondence and cards

Keep in mind that in certain decks, fire & air are
reversed (Nigel Jackson is one of them - where wands =
air & swords = fire).

Here's how I learned it (using most decks, especially
those based on Rider-Waite), you use the elemental
correspondence to find the sign.

Cups = Water = Pisces, Cancer & Scorpio

Wands = Fire = Aries, Leo & Sagittarius

Swords = Air = Gemini, Libra & Aquarius

Pentacles = Earth = Taurus, Virgo & Capricorn

You can also use the elemental associations to come up
with a time frame:

Pentacles/Earth: slowest moving, a year or more
Cups/Water: slow moving, months
Wands/Fire: fast moving, weeks
Swords/Air: fastes moving, days

Crystals and Tarot Cards
Peggy Jentoft


Many people have personal associations between specific Tarot cards and crystals, and
several books and tarot traditions also have lists of correspondences.

Some people use Crystals in a form of divination with or like Tarot cards.

They may substitute crystals for the Tarot cards or read the Tarot card for chosen
crystals.

You can also use the crystals to enhance or carry the energy and intention of specific
Tarot card in healing or other work.

Ursula Markam's "Fortune telling with Crystals & Semiprecious Gemstones" It is out of
print and I have not seen copy yet. I cannot offer any particular guidance on using
crystals as Tarot cards directly.

Though one way you can use this correspondence is to choose the crystal that most
attracts you or another person and consider the qualities and information of the
related Tarot card.

I had used used a Tarot, crystal com! bo in healing work many years ago but my choices
were intuitive.

Below are some suggestions from several different writers and other sources.

For healing work and enhancing affirmations, you can charge or infuse or harmonize a
clear quartz crystal or an appropriate stone with a specific tarot card energy.

Usually this is done by holding the card and the crystal together, or putting the
crystal on the cards and using focused attention intention to request and fix the
energy to be carried by the crystal.

Medicinal Pickled Garlic

  I have been making this wonderful Medicinal Pickled Garlic for years Here is the original recipe that I use. I want to share with you. I use this in recipes when I need some healing magick or just on it's own for real strength and healing. It is so good and so good for you. It takes awhile to peel all those garlic but it's well worth it, I separate each garlic into pieces and then I take a large knife and slightly smash each clove. makes it so much easier to peel each clove, I use each and every clove small and large and sperate them into the jar. Any honey will work and I buy Apple cider vinegar by the gallon because we use it for so many things. Medicinal Pickled Garlic  According to Gladstar’s book, “Garlic is the herb of choice in treating colds, flu, sore throats and poor or sluggish digestion… makes a potent internal and external antiseptic, antibacterial, and antimicrobial agent effective for treating many types of infection.”   That is some powerful stuff!  There is m

Medicinal Pickled Garlic

With cold and flu season coming up soon once again I am thinking ahead this year so I am making some medicines to have ready to fight back fast. According to Gladstar’s book, “Garlic is the herb of choice in treating colds, flu, sore throats and poor or sluggish digestion… makes a potent internal and external antiseptic, antibacterial, and antimicrobial agent effective for treating many types of infection.” That is some powerful stuff!  There is much more information in the book, it is a wonderful addition to your homesteading or prepping library. Peeled garlic cloves (enough to fill a jar) Raw apple cider vinegar Raw Local Honey Fill a mason jar with garlic cloves; use any size jar you like.  Fill the jar with apple cider vinegar to cover the garlic completely.  Place the jar in a warm place for 3-4 weeks. Medicinal Pickled Garlic ~ After 3-4 weeks, strain off the liquid(this is when you will add the honey).   Set ½ the liquid aside to use as you wish.  Rosemary Gladst

Goutweed-My Kitchen Witchy Herb of the Week

Goutweed Other Names: Achweed, Aegopodium podagraria, Angelica Menor, Ashweed, Bishop's Elder, Bishop's Goutweed, Bishopsweed, Bishopswort, Égopode Podagraire, Egopodio, Eltroot, English Goatweed, Gout Herb, Goutwort, Ground Elder, Herb Gerard, Herbe de Saint-Gérard, Herbes-aux-Goutteux, Jack-Jump-About, Masterwort, Petite Angélique, Pigweed, Pied d’Aigle, Pied de Chèvre, Podagraire, Weyl Ash, White Ash. Gout Weed has a long history of medicinal use besides being cultivated for food. It was the main gout treatment. One theory is the clergy got a lot of gout because they ate better than most but reports about St. Gerard say he lived poorly, giving half of what he ever made to his mother and the other half to those more poor than he. All parts of the plant are diuretic. It has been used to also treat rheumatism, arthritis and bladder disorders. Some credit consumption of the plant, others external use in the area of the gout, such as crushing the root and holding
