A Tarot Spread To Try Out During The Winter Months When The Constellations Orion And Taurus Are Overhead.

A tarot spread to try out during the winter months when the constellations Orion and Taurus are overhead. Within the Taurus constellation is the famous Pleiades Star Cluster. In Greek mythology the Pleiades are seven sisters, the daughters of Atlas and Pleione. This star cluster has been observed and worshiped by many ancient civilizations, and today they are connected to the new age idea of higher consciousness life and divine evolution.

A new spread for unclear situations.

This could be used for specific situations: (i.e. a failing relationship, family problems) or in a more general reading for self-healing. 

How to undo sigils

Sometimes after you go through the process of casting a sigil you may want to know how to undo it in order to nullify the effects that it is giving off. In order to go through this process you can do one of two things you can:

Destroy the sigil, and allow its energy, and intention to run its course, and eventually nullify itself. You would be able to help out this nullification process by taking away the energy that you gave it in the charging process, while also focusing on its intention that is imprinted in your subconscious, changing it into what you want to manifest, allowing the sigil to  nullify quicker and more effectively.

The other thing you could do is send out another sigil with the opposite intention, or with the intention of stopping the first sigil, so that it can go through the process of nullifying its effects.

Both of these methods will be good to know, and learn in case you ever want to stop a sigil for any reason. These also work on sigils that have been cast by other practitioners, and may be very helpful in defending from spiritual attacks.
