Hi there, welcome to the channel! My name is Amanda, and I am an intuitive tarot reader and psychic, as well as a wife and a toddler mom. I am deeply inspired and devoted to the dark feminine and much of my practice is in connection to the dark goddess and her lessons.
My spiritual practice drives inspiration and blends the use of tarot, oracle, art, archetypes, myths, animals, certain insects, makeup, colour and the dark feminine. Here on the channel, I wish to share my passion and insights and discuss many topics related to creating and maintaining a unique-to-self spiritual practice. Let's keep the magick alive together!
Purple blush is awesome!! Looks amazing on the skin! I have some too, and they are my favourite. I have wanted to make my own charm set, slowly building it but have no clue how and for what I'll use it 😂. I love bones but have none to throw. As for pendulums, I have been trying on and off. they're temperamental, testy and playful I feel like lmfao. Fey energy! That sounds like an interesting journey you're on now with your family that takes much courage and strength, good luck and cuddos, not for the faint of heart ❤
Can you film a full review and flip through of the Botanical Oracle by ForStrangeWomen? There doesn't seem to be many online and it is quite an investment. Would really appreciate being able to see all the cards before purchasing!
I loved this video! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a video that specifically connects decks with spellwork. I’d love to hear more about this. And I’d love to hear more about rituals that you do with your decks, although that may be too personal to put on a video, but I would certainly watch it if you did. Thanks for sharing!
I have Scorpio in one placement. That. Is it. I am a dry (earth) fiery (fire placements ) ball of human. 🤣. But. The siren has always been an interest and fascination of mine. I actually want one tattooed to me. I love their myth and everything about them.
@@amandamyshadow it does hurt, I won't lie. But after. When you get to see the art and know what it means to you, there is something so deep to it. I have one on my foreman, and it brings me great joy, pride and stability/grounding. I would like to get one for each of my son's as well🥰. Btw. I have been beginning to feel autumn vibes too!!!
Hey beautiful! I would love a detailed breakdown of how you work the archetype deck as you mentioned as a video idea. I really really want that deck and I have really been wanting to get into archetypes for years now. I could use some inspiration and direction 😄. Because otherwise I feel drawn to it but lost 😂. I think It would be really cool to know more about how you work your cycles with the seasons of the witch decks. I love that idea and think it's brilliant. The only deck I think I have ever used for spell craft is ethereal visions tarot. And it was one hell of a success (paired it with runes and some elemental pieces and my own writing). This is another really awesome video 🥰thank you!
YEEESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!! Delicious! I "gee'd" when I saw this lmfao. I need to get an Instagram account! Thank you for this, loved every aspect of this. I relate closely to all of it. It'd be amazing if you made a deck. tarot deck and your own archetype deck😉😉
I forgot to mention the journal prompts/tarot spread in the description box (I just ask that if you share it on social media you credit me) and that I am now offering general readings on my Insta! You can find my Instagram handle in the description box. I hope you enjoy the video! ❤
😮😮😮😮 Darling! You . Look. DIVINE! you're always beautiful, but this makeup and style is super on you! I definitely always look forward to the makeup you show! It's just as exciting and interesting to me as the cards. They are both integral in my practice, and it's so nice that a fellow practitioner feels their importance as I do and willing to share it❤️
Ooooohhh inspiration!!!! I have been finding that I am making connections with what decks I'm using and why, and timing, ect. I didn't pay attention to that before, but I've been noticing it lately, and making a bigger point of realizing those connections and diving deeper into those meanings as well. It creates an even deeper connection with the cards, and, self reflection!
It’s so cool that you have the secret language of color featured in this video. I bought that deck back in like 2011 and haven’t worked with it for many years until just last week I pulled it out! I’d love to see more videos or segments where you feature it and talk about how you use it in your spellwork or readings. I love bright jewel tones and I am one of the few weirdos who loves glossy cards lol!
Thanks for doing this video, a lot of what discussed landed for me. Interesting that you mentioned the Dark Wood tarot not resonating with Hekate. I agree, I have had a similar experience. I found out later she doesn't want me to use tarot, only oracle. For that DW deck, at first I thought it was Azreal instead, that Knight of Swords was always coming up, but it was Hades.
That's so interesting! For me, I usually pull The Emperor or The Death card but it works with my practice with him. It's fascinating to hear how other people experience him.
Thank you for this video, I appreciate it❤️ OOHHH how do you make a London fog late? I love those! Never made one! Things I do for deity: smoke, specific candles (usually colour resonated) , scents as well, colour for sure (makeup and otherwise - but more as inspiration or in reflection of how I feel in my connection with them, not as much in devotion to) , decks 100% devoted, books.....hmmmm🤔🤔🤔🤔 can't think of anything else at the moment. I'd like to create things for them, yet to try 😊.
I make London Fogs with 2 bags of Earl Grey Tea, vanilla syrup and any milk I have on hand! I love coloured candles for deities! I want to experiment with more coloured wax candles!
I don't have the True Black Tarot but from what I heard about the deck it has a lot of angel energy, so I don't know if it would work for her in my practice. However, I think you should use what resonates for you since how you experience Hekate could be different from someone else's experience. Hope that helps. ❤️
Oh my gosh another Canadian! This is so exciting!! I've been binge watching you since i found you, I resonate so much with what you produce and your energy. Thank you 💕
I love this video! I have the dark wood tarot and Hekate loves that deck but also the tarot of the witches garden. It’s more lighthearted than the dark wood but still powerful.
I bought the Dark Wood Tarot for my sister, but she never used it. I work with Hekate and might gift her another deck in exchange. I also found she responds well to The Witches Wisdom.
I'm so happy to have discovered your channel today! A quick search through your titles and they align with the content I've been searching for 🥰 I'll be going on a binge watch this weekend 💖
Love me some Colourpop! I have a blue/teal quad that I may actually use up because it's so pretty. I also love the bigger palettes, I have Stone Cold Fox which has the best silver ever. Not a huge fan of liquid lips, yours look delish. I do love a beautiful red. Lisa Eldridge lipstick, you're welcome!💋❤️🔥 It's so hard to pick favorites, but Archetypes is at the very top. I have a Kim Krans devoted video on my channel if you want to see my mods to it and Alchemy.
👋🏻 suffered from a similar childhood. I was just telling my husband last night that I need to work with my wounded masculine energy and here we are. You are like a literal gift from Hades! Also purchasing the book you referenced in your most recent video! 🙏🏻✨❤️
@Ellelazareet Thank you for your kind comment! I'm so happy to help in any way I can! ❤Wishing you all the best on your healing journey and I absolutely love Hades! I wish there were more books written about him!
Hello! I just had to comment! Your make-up is stunning! 😍 L-♡-v-e it! I also use the Goddess of Love Tarot for Lilith, along with the Primordial Tarot & the Black Moon Lilith Oracle. The Darkwood Tarot is one of my top 5 decks & I agree with what you said, it's an amazing shadow work deck! I pair it with a couple of oracles; Loputyn Oracle, Earth & Bone Oracle & I've even paired it with the Horror Tarot. I'm using the DWT this month ❤ I would love to see an underworld decks video if you decide to film one 😍 Thank you for sharing your practices & your experiences. Loving your channel! 🌸
@feedingmysoul1212 Thank you for your kind words. ❤ I will definitely do an underworld decks list and I have gone back and forth on whether or not to purchase the Loputyn Oracle. How do you like it?
@amandamyshadow I really like it! It's become a bonded pair with the DWT for me. It's very relevant in my practice as I'm working with wolf energy within my shadow work & all the cards have wolf imagery. There aren't key any words on the cards, but I find it to be a very intuitive deck 🙂
The Witch Sisters Tarot is so primal and resonates deeply with land and ancestors. My animals spirit guide is the Hare so I'm so connected to this deck. I'm trying to go through your past content associated with Hecate as Hecate is my Dark Goddess. Anymore content on Hecate will be very welcome. Blessings 🌙❤
Wow! We were just having a discussion at the dinner table tonight about the human heart's electrical field and how it's so much stronger than the energy field that is exuded from the brain. 🫀💓 I love that these specific messages are also coming through to you as well. 🧠🫁 I am so sorry to hear about the car accident!! 😭Please go at a pace that works for you and your family. 🌹❤🩹🫂 Thank you kindly for offering this workshop. 🙏 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
Love the Season of the Witch collection..I prefer the newer illustrations from the Mabon and Imbolc Oracle's but all the decks are really lovely. I'm now using the Imbolc deck. The Witch Sisters Tarot is my soul deck.. It's steeped in folklore and has a wonderful energy. I loved your pairing with the Green Witch Oracle.. I may have to purchase that Oracle to try this myself. Looking forward to your workshop..I love doing these so I will definitely join you..and apprieciate that your doing this for free..a lot of the workshop from creators are quite expensive so I'm not always able to afford them. Thanks for a lovely video..Blessings ❤❤✨
Hello! Looking forward to your workshop! I’m in Canada as well, in Québec, and I really enjoyed the snowstorm energy last weekend. ☃️ It was missing..! Anyway, thanks for the video ❤️
I’m intrigued by you saying you don’t agree with the idea that anyone can become a mother archetype and that it’s not reliant on actual motherhood. Out of interest, what would you think about people like me who won’t ever have children? Does that mean we never get to be in the mother archetype - just maiden and crone?
Thank you so much for posting your beginning journey with the Ancestral Grimoire. I am so looking forward to jumping in to this tomorrow... day 1 of 2024. I have a beautiful journal that has sat untouched for far too long, but I'm so worried about messing it up... 😆 I'd love to think that one day my grandaughters (or grandsons) may wish to look through it... so really want to put some thought into how I go about the process... Ive started my title page, but that's as far as Ive got... 😮 Love how youre putting your journal together 🎉 🙌 ❤ looking gorgeous
I’m a newer subscriber here. You have a lovely channel. I began inner child work with the help of a therapist and the Adult Children of Alcoholics program (ACA). ACA has a lovely book called the Loving Parent Guidebook that gave me helpful guidance about reparenting. I’ve developed my own work with tarot and oracle decks to deepen this work. I’ve also been really enjoying the book “Maiden to Mother” by Sarah Durham Wilson to work on what she calls the “wounded maiden.” It was wonderful to hear about your journey. ❤️💕🌹🌺🪽🌸
Hello! Thanks for this video. I like that we can tell you really bonded with those decks you are showing. ☺️ So when I started reading tarot, I learned with a Marseilles deck (I’m in French Canada, and these are still quite popular here). That was the only deck I used for 15 years until I really felt called to try another deck… which was the Wild Unknown. Now I have many decks (too many?) but WU is still my main one. I can really tap into my intuition using it. I’ve seen your walkthrough of the Witches tarot and I really feel call to that one as well. Anyway, I just wanted to say, I would be very interested in videos about inner child work you were talking about. Have a happy yule! 😌🙂
This was very interesting. I had a similar experience of death of my old self when I became a mother. I thought of it as putting myself back together bone by bone. I enjoyed your thoughts on Hecate on your deck choices.
