Tarot reading is a living art. It's not static. It grows with us, expands as we expand, and evolves as our understanding of ourselves and the world deepens. The very first time you pick up a deck, you are holding a tool with centuries of layered symbolism, cultural influence, mystery traditions, storytelling frameworks, psychological archetypes, and ritual power.

Use your moonwater whenever and however you want. Augment your moonwork by adding it to ceremonial baths or anointing candles, poppets, spells bags, talismans, amulets, or holy jewelry. Bless yourself, your home, your beloveds, your belongings, and your animal and plant companions. Anything you love or care about can be blessed with moonwater.

Use it in your moonmists and your sacred baths. How you work with moonwater depends on the ingredients you use, of course. Moonwater is generally quite safe to be used for anointings. Since ...
