The Gods and the Cards

If a Witch were to teach you card-telling, these are some of the initial things you might learn.

We once shared a large part of our family card-reading system for free on an old website. Unfortnately, warlocks (uninitiated, nonCraft people, both male and female, who pretend to be Witches, who damage the Craft for their own pride or profit, writing books, giving workshops, etc.) started "adapting" it here and there and claimed it as their own, thereby destroying the system in the process. Anyone with a functioning frontal cortex can spot these fakes fairly easily, but it is best not to give them too much material for them to deceive others. Fortunately, we never shared the entire system, and left out enough of it that the fakes are self-exposing.

Instruction by Witches in any art is free, of course, but we've learned over the past 30 years from the explosion of nonsense books from nonsense publishers, that it is best for us to keep our information and instruction within our covens.

*** Blessed be to those who serve the Great Mother and the Horned Father.
