Intuition — Your Inner Guide
What I loved about this article was the last paragraph! (#4)! I mean, sometimes we can get one little piece of information that just doesnt fit anywhere else …. and its possible to worry it to death or make a mountain out of a mole hill š Sometimes, its just a red herring.

Intuition – Your Inner Guide
by: Anne Walsh
Have you ever thought about someone out of the blue?and then they
called you. Have you ever made a decision that everyone else thought
was crazy, but you knew was right for you..and it worked out
perfectly? Have you ever followed your gut instinct on something and
was proved gloriously RIGHT! If any of these have happened to you, you
have experienced the power of intuition. Most of us at some stage wish
we could have an inner guide that would tell us the right thing to do.
The good news is that we do have an inner guide, the bad news is that
the message can be fuzzy!Benefits of being guided by intuition
So what are the benefits of following your intuition as opposed to
listening to the promptings of parents, partners and others? First of
all, this begins to give you confidence in your own judgment. It helps
you judge whether this person or opportunity is the right one for
you?even if it may not seem so on paper. Secondly I have never met
anyone who regretted following their intuition. Yes it may have meant
making a difficult decision but it WAS the right ultimate decision for
them. Many great business deals have been gone through on a hunch?or
intuition?Developing your intuition
1. Recognition: I have relied on intuition for making most of my major
decisions but I still have difficulty sometimes distinguishing between
it and just a passing thought, so here are some guidelines I use?a. Feeling: What’s the feeling around it? If it’s gentle that’s
usually a sign of intuition. Something that is fear-based and urgent
is not intuition.b. Persistent: You find that you keep having the same thought about
something, check it out.c. Messages: You find that the issue crops up again in all sorts of
ways..it gets mentioned on the news, you hear it in passing
conversation.2. Trust. So after you have got these messages and confirmation, if
you wish to use this, you actually need to do something about it. You
must learn to trust this feeling. Follow promptings and see where they
lead you?3. Openness: Be open to where intuition can lead you. One thing I can
promise you..is that you will be surprised and delighted by where it
leads you..4. Sometimes it doesn’t mean anything. This is one thing I have
noticed about being guided by intuition. Sometimes hunches and gut
instincts don’t actually seem to mean anything?but we don’t know that
until afterwards?so accept that you may have the odd intuitive red
herring!So this week begin paying attention to your hunches. Call that friend,
read that book, make that call?and who knows what delightful things
could come to your door..About The Author

Help with phrasing questions for Tarot:
For sure, we when coming into a reading, as a client you will have things you desire clarification on. Knowing how to phrase questions well will help you get the most possible benefit from your reading. Here are some basic guidelines.
The Tarot will give you an overview of a situation and let you know what will happen if you choose to either do nothing and continue the way you are going, or take another path. The tarot itself is more about insight and guidance that black and white answers. Open ended questions seem to work best. Here are some examples:
Can you give me insight into …
What do I need to understand about …
What is the meaning of …
What is the lesson or purpose of …
What are the circumstances underlying …
How can I improve my chances of …
How might I …
What do I need to know about . . . ?
What internal and external influences are affecting my goal toā¦?
What is the next step I need to take to achieve . . . ?
What is standing in the way of my . . . ?
How can I best overcome the obstacle of . . . ?
How can I be a better . . . ?
Which is the best choice between . . . ?
Asking closed ended questions limits the scope of advice that the cards can lend. Yes and No questions can be asked, but that then leaves us asking yet another question about what to do next. The cards themselves do not give specific names, places or dates. Although, general time frames can be interpreted by a skilled reader š (We can address timelines in another post!) And always, if you are having trouble framing a question, just describe what it is you wish to know about, what information you are seeking, and we can work together on phrasing your question. No worries!
Keep in mind that there are always challenges and obstacles in life and the Tarot never gives an inevitable outcome but, rather, a possible one based on the circumstances presently surrounding your question. Readings of any kind should be used as a tool to help you in deciding what to do next, what you can work towards changing, and what you decide to accept as your destiny. In other words, if you get a reading that doesn’t seem particularly good, what can you do to change that? If you couldn’t potentially change your future, then we at Spellmaker wouldnāt be here working so hard for you and with you!

White Candle Magick
White Candle Magick
~
White candles have many uses – use them to heal (physical or emotional illness), for dispelling negativity, to gain spirituality, for protection, or to enhance any Magical Powers.
~
Basically, white is for healing – healing any hurt you or your target might have which makes them afraid to be in another relationship, healing any fear they have of being in a relationship, healing and removing the negativity inside them. A very thorough approach to healing with white candle magick is to use the āMind Body Spiritā approach, in which each level is addressed with a candle of its own. This approach can take a little time to complete, but it is very very effective.
~
You can also use white candles for enhancing your own magical powers, for any spiritual work or for general protection. For protection for yourself or another, you might want to consider pairing the candle magick session with the Cosmic Voodoo Protection Gris Gris Bag or Protection Charms for an added boost!
~
A really underused but handy candle to keep on your shelf is a white seven knob candle. A Seven Knob candle is just that – a candle with carved āknobsā that is often used in Wish Magic. Each knob can be used for a separate or different wish! (or, if you want, you can use each knob for the same wish) BUT ā using each knob for a different wish is what makes this candle so handy. As all you veteran spellcasters know, usually the petition for a candle is kept the same for the whole use of the candleā¦ i.e one candle = one request/petition. With the seven knob candle, you get 7 different wishes if you want! So, no need to commit a full white female image candle to Aunt Sally who is having a bunion removed and you want to send her a just little healing energy; You can just use one knob on the white seven knob candle. Has you boss been a crab and you want to help lighten his mood a little ā use one knob on the white seven knob candle. You get the picture. Itās a nifty candle to keep on hand!
~
White Image candles can be used in pairs as well. They are especially great at healing and releasing negativity in a relationship. If you are having tension or strain in a relationship with a friend or co-worker that you would like to help clear up magickally, take one image candle that would represent you and one white image candle of the appropriate sex that would represent your friend/co-worker. Use the candles as per the instructions, except have them facing each other. While doing the candle session, ask for healing and release of (fill in the blank for your situation) and replace the ickiness with (again, fill in the blank appropriately). I have even done this with THREE candles, when I was having difficulty with a pair of friends and it worked very very well for me.
~
Donāt forget, you can always add a few drops of Abre Camino Oil into the Annointing Oil that comes with the White Candle Magick kits when doing healing work!
~
Light and Love,
Sister Bridget
