I was doing a tarot spread with my friend to help interpret a spirit that has been present with me most of my life. I’ve done my own research and I have found some possible answers. I believe the spirit or deity is connected with the sun and creativity (makes me think Apollo but I’m not sure). I don’t gravitate or practice a specific pantheon right now so it’s a bit tricky. I’m very new to divination, but this was the spread.
Being: The Fool Trait
Usually Negative: Page of Cups Trait
Usually Positive: The Devil
What they Rule over: Knight of Wands (Reversed)
Something associated with them: Six of Wands (Reversed)
I haven’t practiced. Like I said, I’m extremely new to this and don’t have proper training to manifest. My friend who is a much more experienced witch suggested asking for help interpreting.
Is that something that a beginner who has no training would be able to do safely? I’d rather not call out to a spirit I have no intention of doing anything with.
It can be pretty safe for beginners if you cast a circle to protect yourself. May only the true ones enter and only those who do not have malicious intent toward you or your study and/or practice. You ultimately control that space, so you get to set the rules and boundaries. But if you’re new, I would suggest at least some meditation training before you jump right into it, as casting a circle, in my experience, is a lot easier when you’ve practiced your visualization at the very least.
Friend and I did pendulum together and turns out he’s been sending me signs for my whole life. I had almost every stone associated with Apollo in my own collection without even being into magick until tonight. I also happened to have a candle of an associated color casually in my house. Apollo probably thought I was dumb as hell for taking this long.
Nothing wrong with Apollo. Sun, fire, heat, music, and colors of morning and evening. Gold amonst the azure blue jewel. I saw that spread and was like “wow.” Thought you eere tapping a current I enjoy. I haven’t been in much but i decided on a whim to pop up. Nothing like 2 scoops of Apollo in the morn.
We did pendulum and found it to be Apollo. It makes sense as I am a baby witch who just broke out of Christianity with the new beginnings and also the theme of the sun and fire in the cards.
