You will need the following items for this spell:
3 white candlesÂ
stick (for drawing a pentagram)
cloudy/cold/rainy weather
Draw a pentagram in the dirt. Light the candles in a circle around the pentagram.( if you have them) Chant this three times:
Goddesses three, I call upon thee, Snowed in I will be. So mote it be.
Blow out your candles, cover up the pentagram with leaves and walk inside. Keep hope. It will only work if you have faith that it will. If successful, will work within one week.
The woods whisper.
The ancient tress, bent and scraggly, reach down to hush snicker, tricking and advising you, as you breathe in this stale, moist air, of this twilight place, neither here nor there. Here you are to be tested, to be changed, to become something new- or something old, if you wish so.
So you wander, through deep grass and clingy mud, through paths of mushrooms and bushes, ever shifting and deceptive. It is challenge, certainly, but one suited for you, one that will push you to your utmost limits, and make you grow beyond them.And so you walk forward, following shadows of wails, echoes of rain slithering over rocks, the eternal traces of things that havenât walked Earth in long, long time (but will one day do so again).
He awaits you below, in cave whose entrance is secret yet can be found anywhere, carved out of soft mud and ancient dust and great stone. Water and earth meet, meld and meddle in each otherâs business. Everything there is buoyant, verdant and vibrant, full of potential, of energy and life that seems as strong as hundred springs. Your ancestors crawl there, as they await for chance to fly back to life. You are filled with need, with hunger to learn and ask, to challenge them and test yourself, to learn secrets of this place, even as your eyes seems to melt, trying to pierce through shadows.
Men tried to describe him in many ways, and they all got something correct, and they all got so much that isnât right. For how can any word, any shape properly contain him? You cannot guess whether he is constantly changing, or contains all forms of world, or whether he is something else, something unseen before (or at least in long, long time- he never got used to one shape, least of all human, for he is caretaker and guise of all creatures, patron of all things wild and free). You catch glimpses, just hints of truth, like looking for gold in murky waters, like going through earliest, foggiest memories-Â here pair of antlers, there hooves, over there strength and width of bear, dignity and bearing of ancient tree right there.
You see his eyes. You see power in there, reaching farther then roots of mountains, as malleable and stubborn as water, as wide as underworld itself, caring as soil, as destructive as earthquake, as consuming as flood, as deafening as silence, as freeing as your favourite song. You see ages you canât grasp beyond, time as heavy as illness upon you, and glint of satisfied mischief. You see wisdom there, earned and practical, born from curiosity towards specific purpose (and being what he is, there are so so many things he knows). It is gaze you know, from your brother when he talks about his work, from your father and grandparents and teacher when you were young, from mirror too, from all people who know something you donât and are happy to learn ( all but one, though she is a thing of still darkness and deep waters, for her eyes are always veiled, and she hoards secrets even lord of dead and mystery doesnât know, greedily keeps them for no other reason but their own sake), sharp and purring, inviting, never satisfied, always watching and waiting.
A cloak unrolls from top of his horns to below his paws-feet-hooves. It is a meadow and mountain, forest and field, swamp and moss. He seems to wear whole of world on his shoulders, all things civilized and wild and in-between, and below it he hides soil and clay, stone and caves, and all things that crawl and slither and claw and slip upon and below. It grows and withers, rises and fall, living and dying, always changing, because nothing ever stops, because nothing remains the same, because nothing escapes his eye.
There is stick in his hand. A rough, wooden staff, scrappy and twisted, warped and bent, like branch left in tiny river for too long. It is an old manâs staff, to help him climb up the mountain, and fighterâs pole, in hands of skilled deadlier then a sword or spear, and shepherdâs stick by which he defends and leads livestock, and sorcererâs focus, by which he bends world to his will. It is all those things and so much more, greater then any scepter, and it is part of him, for he is master of liminal spaces and times, lord of wolf and cattle, who guides and directs, tests and teaches living and dead.
ââCome.ââ He says, doesnât order, even if he has every right,because he doesnât need to, because you chose this, again and again, and you come into his embrace, in arms that are paws and claws and fur and leather, as calming as river that flows beneath ground, as comforting as shade of tree in summer field, and you smile, smile, for there is no monster and no nightmare that can stand against what you devoted yourself to, against He who accepted you.
Hey, could you send me the links you have about divination or just tarot if it's not too much trouble? Thank you for the help!
Hah, hah hah. I actually didnât have ANY links at the ready. So I went and compiled all this for you. Hence why it took like 3-4 hours for me to answer this. Hope it helps!

As the Spitzer Space Telescopeâs 16-year mission ends, weâre celebrating the legacy of our infrared explorer. It was one of four Great Observatories â powerful telescopes also including Hubble, Chandra and Compton â designed to observe the cosmos in different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum.
The part of the spectrum we can see is called, predictably, visible light. But thatâs just a small segment of all the wavelengths of the spectrum. The Hubble Space Telescope observes primarily in the visible spectrum. Our Chandra X-ray Observatory is designed to detect (you guessed it) X-ray emissions from very hot regions of the universe, like exploded stars and matter around black holes. Our Compton Gamma Ray Observatory, retired in 2000, produced the first all-sky survey in gamma rays, the most energetic and penetrating form of light.
Infrared radiation, or infrared light, is another type of energy that we canât see but can feel as heat. All objects in the universe emit some level of infrared radiation, whether theyâre hot or cold. Spitzer used its infrared instrument to make discoveries in our solar system (including Saturnâs largest ring) all the way to the edge of the universe. From stars being born to planets beyond our solar system (like the seven Earth-size exoplanets around the star TRAPPIST-1), Spitzerâs science discoveries will continue to inspire the world for years to come.
Together, the work of the Great Observatories gave us a more complete view and understanding of our universe.
Hubble and Chandra will continue exploring our universe, and next year theyâll be joined by an even more powerful observatory ⌠the James Webb Space Telescope!
Many of Spitzerâs breakthroughs will be studied more precisely with the Webb Space Telescope. Like Spitzer, Webb is specialized for infrared light. But with its giant gold-coated beryllium mirror and nine new technologies, Webb is about 1,000 times more powerful. The forthcoming telescope will be able to push Spitzerâs science findings to new frontiers, from identifying chemicals in exoplanet atmospheres to locating some of the first galaxies to form after the Big Bang.
We canât wait for another explorer to join our space telescope superteam!

If then you do not make yourself equal to God, you cannot apprehend God; for like is known by like.
Leap clear of all that is corporeal, and make yourself grown to a like expanse with that greatness which is beyond all measure; rise above all time and become eternal; then you will apprehend God. Think that for you too nothing is impossible; deem that you too are immortal, and that you are able to grasp all things in your thought, to know every craft and science; find your home in the haunts of every living creature; make yourself higher than all heights and lower than all depths; bring together in yourself all opposites of quality, heat and cold, dryness and fluidity; think that you are everywhere at once, on land, at sea, in heaven; think that you are not yet begotten, that you are in the womb, that you are young, that you are old, that you have died, that you are in the world beyond the grave; grasp in your thought all of this at once, all times and places, all substances and qualities and magnitudes together; then you can apprehend God.
But if you shut up your soul in your body, and abase yourself, and say âI know nothing, I can do nothing; I am afraid of earth and sea, I cannot mount to heaven; I know not what I was, nor what I shall be,â then what have you to do with God?
