Image shows the cover of the book, "The Gaelic Otherworld: Superstitions of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland and Witchcraft and Second Sight in the Highlands and Islands" by John Gregorson Campbell.

The top half is a photography of an island with mountains in a background with a stream of light - emanating from a break in the cloud overhead - on the little island. The image is in pale greys and oranges.

The bottom half is the title and author's name, the background being a sandy colour.

Image shows a hooded figure, around whom are sparks of light, walking in a dense forest, the floor of which is covered in green moss, a light mist among the tall, almost bare trees. The moon shines through the mist, illuminating the path with a pale blue-grey light.

Text in green over the image reads, “As belief in one’s capabilities self-evidently leads to increasing capabilities, magicians consider it worthwhile to believe in their ability to accomplish the impossible, even if they only succeed at this occasionally.” ~ Peter J. Carroll"

A simple, white cover, with some autumn leaves decorating the top 3. The title is in a Celtic style font with the author's name in a different celtic style font.

I'll be sitting quietly, drifting somewhere when a foul smell will enter my nostrils. It's then I'll realize I'm not alone and some thousand (or so) year old one is gatecrashing my ancestral party.

Why didn't the cat warn me? Traitor! Really need proper security.

Ooh. I love Eddie Lenihan. I wish I had the opportunity to meet him in person; he is so fascinating.

I've been doing the #20BookChallenge and this book is one I've included (though not posted - yet).

I don't want to age too much, but I've been on this path for several decades.

I've not kept a tally of my workings. Sorry.

A friend told me he had been clearing out his gran’s house. The most amazing thing he found there was this knitted effigy of the man who had run off and abandoned my friend’s pregnant aunt. Into the effigy had been stuck twenty knitting needles: one for every year since the man had vanished.

a knitted doll, impaled by many, many knitting needles

It shows a herring sky above a tree perched on a rock, the whole image having a heavy green filter.

I think I misinterpreted what you were saying. You're referring to sharing on social media. I get it. I don't do that and never would; not because I fear anyone messing about, but because my practice is very personal and private.

I only post or repost what is already "out there".

Buidseach @buidseach.bsky.social · Apr 1

Covens share altars (often in outdoor spaces where others will tread), they also raise spells together. I'm not sure where you are getting these maxims from, but maybe leave them behind and go with what works for you.

Maybe you need to keep one deck just for yourself, and use different decks when reading for others. Either that, or find a way to connect with the cards that doesn't allow for any intrusion.

I've always bought my own decks; only one was ever gifted because I participated in its creation. Everyone I know tends to buy their own tarot decks.

The one deck I use now has never failed me, and I purchased it myself.
