I have many tools on my altar, but my most used are by far the most mundane: extra long tweezers and my small scissors. No matter what I do, they always seem to make an appearance.
Honorable mention goes to my handheld lighter. Sorry I drowned you in wax that one time. You’re a trooper.

I highly recommend taking pictures of your workings and practices - I wrote a piece on why!

Posting the pictures isn't necessary to reap the benefits, either. Just remember to look over them once in a while.

Dream Interpretation Guidebooks and Non-Universal Symbols
Dream interpretation doesn’t cleanly fall under the umbrella of divination, but interests in the topics tend to overlap. The pressing question is: guidebook or no guidebook?

I made a friend's stone a divination focus and realized that the items I use to imbue and "teach" blank stones aren't necessarily ones I turn to for my own divination work.
Retired pieces just seem to carry a potency I can't get anywhere else.

Now is the time for refreshing and looking forward. For some people, it means cleaning altar spaces. For others, it means brisk walks in the cold.
Sometimes, it means kind words where there were none. So, let me put some here:
How interesting!
I trust you.
That was brave.
You're so smart!

A question for #witchsky:
What are your ethics around someone asking you to predict the far future?
People can put a lot of trust and hope into predictions that can be changed and swayed by all manner of things (free will, counter-forces).
I think I may write about this for this week’s post!

The evenings are getting colder and quieter. The sky is clear and the new moon is about a week away.
It's the perfect time to use that crisp night air for intention setting and divination preparation.
Leaving stones somewhere they can feel the cold seems to make them...clearer, somewhat. #witchsky

A fun tip: if you carve a rune or icon into clay and bake it, you can use it as a wax stamp! If you're not artistically inclined, you can also press the clay onto an item that has the desired pattern. Just keep in mind the pattern will be reversed when it's stamped!

If you have sea shells laying around in storage, try using them as ritual or offering dishes. Their natural shapes tend to hold objects quite well and are lovely to look at.
Smaller shells can also hold miniature versions of helpful spells that make great gifts to our loved ones.
