I have to tell you, as a professional artist, I love your sigil. It's actually called a motif when it's a simplified symbol like that (in the art world). A particular hard thing for me, I always over complicate it. Great video, too!
A prosperous New Year to all. I do personal goals instead of resolutions. Those I can change any day and not feel guilty if I don't meet a resolution. Great manifestations to all.
I've decided to do that this year, too! Also, you can work your way up to your goals, rather than feeling overwhelmed by how big they are. I think this is a much more realistic approach.
New years eve i decided to draw 3 different cards, an oracle, a mindful messages card and an affirmation card. I wrote my thoughts behind all the messages and meditated/manifested for the new year. I then took a nice ritual bath including some self care. I journaled and relaxed with candles. It was uplifting, motivating and I am looking forward to the new year. Thank you always for your wonderful videos.
This video is very sweet to me. We found out this month that I'm pregnant, and started reading Lord of the Rings because those were the books my parents read when they were pregnant with me. I'm also trying to learn more about my own tarot deck, so this is teaching me another way to use it.
I actually did a new years reading instead of resolutions this year too and I’ve never felt more motivated and on track!!! 😍 I recently had a baby and lost a lot of myself in the past year as I’ve figured out how to be a mom and my mission was to reconnect with myself and find my passions again! Spend less time wasting my free time on my phone disassociating from the stress and use it to paint and read and do things that make my life feel fulfilling and give me a sense of self 🥰 I DIDNT think to do it as a story like this though and kinda wanna have a girls night with my friends where we do DND tarot forecasts for the year 😆 I love this so much!!!
Happy New Year Bex. I woke up on the wrong side of the bed, your humour and videos always make me smile and inspire me....and your words today inspired me to not let this year be same as the last bullsheet decade!
I share your determination to happily leave the last decade in the rearview. It's nice to see I have some company in that! Here's to better days ahead! :)
I got my first Tarrot card deck for Christmas. I’m definitely going to do this tomorrow!!! 🖤 I have some vintage, brown looking paper so I can write my heroic story on that! ☺️
love this, not a fan of Jan 1 new year and 'resolutions' that go along, but this one seems way more kinder to self and offers the potential for a deeper more fruitful exploration.
So hilarious anyway I’m a Capricorn as well and I think of January here in the north east United States as a month of mind relaxation. Meaning excluding birthdays and anniversary’s it’s a cold quiet month with no pressure of a big holiday of sorts to worry about and the older children are going back to school so for me it’s a month of cleaning organization and those pesky phone calls like making appointments and such I like to make refreshing simmer pots and open windows to let in fresh air , I like winter walks and self care and the big point of this is all these things are done at your comfortable pace without concerns if anything is done on time it’s a no rush month a clarity of the mind month and that’s how it’s my fresh start with no New Year’s resolution. Anyway I adore this video this will be fun to try.
Oh I hope you will have a lovely birthday month!! I do enjoy January very much too ☺️ wishing you a happy and healthy new years and peaceful start to it
Great! I got the two of wands, two of pentacles, the devil and the magician. I studied each one and now I will write my journey out and make a symbol. Thank you
Happy New Year !! yes I had 12 grapes, a bucket of ice thrown out in the front door outside at midnight :) , my mother taught me at a young age the craft, I love your videos and so happy every time I see your videos they put a smile on my face, you are the best !!
I loved this. Thank you so much for sharing the spread. I was immediately pushed to press pause and get out an oracle deck I haven’t used in years, Ascended Masters. My spread was Merlin for healing energy, Green Man to retreat into Nature, Pallas Athena to detach from drama, and the discovery was Moses to take charge of this situation. This feels like the path I have been attempting to walk for a while as I recover from a horrible situation which led to burnout. Sending love to all of you. I am so appreciative of this incredible and supportive community. Hugs to you Bex❤❤❤
What a way to start off the New Year, with the "Witches Cookery" I love your videos.. They are like a breath of fresh air... Thank you ... and Happy New Year...
I agree. Happy New Year to both of you. Merry it be happy, healthy, productive, and fulfilling. I'm definitely going to try this ritual for myself. I'm going to use Deborah Blake's Everyday Witch Tarot, because the cards really speak to me, and it's the easiest for me to read intuitively.
Just did this with my Röhrig tarot and used the Enchanted Map oracle cards as clarifiers... wow. I have been packing everyday for over a month... a box at a time trying to plan what's next... my quest is one of self care, resetting, and letting go to see what's next come to me instead of planning every single step... wish I could share a 📸 of my quest map (cards)!
This was The Best New Year vlog yet! You got me at being with your Spanish family for a NY party, lol!! I know all about that, ha ha ha!!! 😂 I'm going to try your 4 card pull, seems a lot simpler than the 8 card one I laid out last night before a massive storm cut power and I went to bed early. 🤪🤪 Happy New Year, and may all your wishes come true in 2023. ❤️❤️🙋♀️ PS - I love your new deck!
Happy New Year Bex! Oh I loved this. It's so true making magic your own is so important to manifesting anything! We all find our own way lol. I usually start with a little sky scrying , it was beautiful warm winter day here with blue skies & puffy wispy tiny clouds this is a good sign. Then watch the critters as they come to life. After a good breakfast & tea. It's off to do my annual tarot reading , a few cards some runes some crystals & more tea. Then celebrate the rest of the day with all I have to be grateful for. Thank you for sharing Sending lots of love & blessings your way! 💜🐾🐦🐞🌹
Thank you for this new way of starting off the New Year. This is exciting and interesting! I love that you added a sigil as a reminder through the year that you are always on a quest. Will you make a video on your quest at the end of the year? It would be neat to also check in throughout the year on the quest too. Just saying :)
🎉🎉Happy New Year🎉🎉 I totally love your videos! They always talk to my soul. I think somehow, some way we are connected. Blessings & Big Texas Hugs darlin! 😇
P.s. your new tarot card deck!!! Love it. Thanks for all your helpful magical tips. I have given up on “resolutions” and am focusing on simple things that bring me joy, and maybe a dose of healthy food after the festive season feasting 😹🍷
What a great way to start the new year. My four cards, the Queen of Denier, II Swords, VII Wands and II Denier are spot on for telling my adventure and quest caring for my elderly mother. Happy New Year in 2023!
I tried the adventure card pull. Apparently I have a lot of shadow work to do. Basically my quest is to stop letting fears hold me back - and stop constantly apologizing for myself. It was much easier and more interesting than the usual new year 12 card pull.
I think instead of making New Year’s resolutions. For me it is better if I set a new intention and stick with that. Also I am online to become a yoga instructor and it is called the heroes journey😊Blessed Be 🙏❤️
Happy new year love! I hope you have the best year ever and many blessings come into your life! XOXOXO Thank you so much for your beautiful videos, giggles, love, inspiration, and magic!🥰🍄♥
I play Pathfinder 2nd Edition (D&D like RPG) three to four times a week, so I have to say... this is a way to make me 1000% more excited abour my year and I love this idea! Thank you so much! P.S: I use a Clow Card deck as my tarot cards. ♥
Happy New Year! Thank you for posting this reminder to not go insane with the resolutions because, yes, they can make us feel a little bit down when we don't achieve those crazy goals. 😊
This is spread seems better suited for my New Year Resolution plans - insights that help with goal achievement over setting goals. I actually do get a lot done in a year, however it's rarely the goals I set out to achieve at the beginning of the year.
So happy it is useful to you! And yes, you can absolutely use it that way too :) Yaih for getting things done - even if it is whatever life throws in your way. Flexibility is important
Happy new year, Bex! 🥳 I do like the idea of a yearly "quest" reading! It resonates with my inner nerd on a whole new level. This is a great spin on the yearly resolutions that my brain squirrels typically dump 3 days later... I might actually be able to keep up with this one, because it's so different and personalized! It's also incentive to use my tarot cards and learn them a little better, so every yearly overview will be easier to understand. 😄
You make it 3 whole days? I used to write down my resolutions in a fresh notebook/journal, so I could track my progress, and then promptly forget all about them until I happened to open that notebook or journal again a year or 3 later.
I am only 3 weeks late in watching this video 😋 but I was away so I am now doing a witches cookery binge 😁 nothing wrong with that !! please don't judge me .... fantastic idea and omg love that deck I almost would buy another one and get it framed as an art piece !!
This was awesome. Thank you so much!!! I created my story. I picked from the Good Tarot deck. Page of Air, 6 of Air, King of Earth, and Queen of Earth. Plus I just created my very first sigil!!! This was just what I needed to start the new year.
Thank you for the new spread! My cards' outcome was a bit confusing, but I'm going to try and reflect upon it to see what drew me to these cards. Although, I may redo it, if it feels wrong since i did use a different method to pick the cards instead of my preferred method. Regardless, that's on me. Im just excited to have another spread to practice with. Also, congrats on your new cards! I love the fact that they're dorky. That's endearing. Honestly what made me fall in love with your content even more was the fact that you were doing WOW recipes initially. Anywho, Happiest of new years to you and your large familia! Much love!
I just tried the Adventurer's spread and loved it! Thanks so much for sharing.. now I gotta get my hands on a copy of that beautiful deck! I love lotr!
Happy New Year! Long ago I made one resolution that I've managed to keep and that was to never make another New Year's resolution again. It's taken all the weight off my shoulders and has made it possible for me to progress from year to year. It doesn't mean I don't make goals to achieve during the year but it does mean I don't set myself up for failure. When I explain this to people I always get funny looks cause they don't understand why I won't follow tradition and make resolutions.
Very well said, and I absolutely agree. I gave up on setting traditional New Year's resolutions of losing weight, etc., long ago, and my life was better for it. Now I need to figure out a new system of setting longer term goals for the next few years. I realize that my brain has a knee-jerk response to anyone, including me, telling me that I "must" do anything. I got over my inability to ever meet my savings goals by just setting up a recurring bank transfer from my checking account to my savings account. I just see it and forgot about it. It turned out that not having that money to spend didn't have any real impact on my life, and I am actually able to save additional money.. Now if only I can figure out a way to get and keep my home cleaner, I'd feel much less stressed.
@@greeneyedlady5580 I'm still working on the last item on your list. Keeping a clean house. I'm getting through a serious case of caregiver burnout that made my depression worse. I try to take one day at a time. I also try to give myself a break and not get upset when things don't go my way. Life happens.
Happy New Year, Bex. Freue Neujahr. I asked for and received a beautiful Tarot deck for Christmas, and your video was just what I needed to do my first ever reading. My deck is a Spiritsong 78 card tarot deck and has some natural items standing in for the traditional wands etc... I really like the idea of having a mission for the year, and my cards definitely had a theme to them! My first card was the seven of crystals, second was ace of shells, third was the emperor, and fourth was the six of feathers. This year I should try to acknowledge my accomplishments, examine my options moving ahead, pause and reflect and concentrate on my strengths. I am encouraged to be receptive to the soul, go at the pace that is right for me and stay true to my path, trust my inner vision, celebrate my creativity within to create balance, and use it as a beacon in my ventures. I need to be aware of the motives of others and seek a positive direction, stay in control of myself and have confidence, trust myself. And the lesson to gain is how to rise above, to move into a positive, healing future, to believe in myself and my purpose. When I had made my traditional list, my goals were to continue to declutter for improved mindset, connect more with my siblings to improve my feelings of stability, travel and experience new places to expand my worldview, and to continue to prioritize my well-being of body, mind, and soul. I feel my cards were in complete agreement with those goals. Trusting myself and my intuition is off to a good start on day one of 2023. Many blessings to you this year. I look forward to the content you will share with us. Perhaps we can grow in this tarot journey together. I was really drawn to it after following @ediyasmr for quite some time, and plan to hone my skills this year.
Love this video and this Tarot Spread- I will be doing my Hero’s Adventure Tarot Spreat also- I love the Sigil idea too. Happy 2023 to you and your family! Looking forward to your new videos this year!
Thank you for this. I truly enjoy your videos: the editing, your playful approach, and of course, your insightful knowledge and suggestions. I love the idea of creating a "Hero's Journey" for the coming year. I think it's very powerful to look at potential challenges and to identify some of the powerful tools, companions, and stratagem you can employ in order to fulfil your quest. I like that idea very much, and, as you stated, feel it's far more powerful and...realistic? ...than the traditional "New Year's Resolutions" although the spirit of what you wish to achieve in the coming year is easily incorporated into the Quest. The stories we tell ourselves fashion our reality. This is a good way to author your own epic tale. I hope you have a wonderful year ahead. Blessèd be.
This year, I have no plans right now.... normally I have a feeling of what is in the year to come... this year... I'm unwell and have not done any rituals... 😢 have a lovely 2023... 😍😍
I am sending you an extra bit of love right now. Uncertainty feels unsettling, but sometimes it comes before changing, exiting, impactful and great things are about to happen
Omg this is awesome!! love the humour -- so true though 🤣 love the tarot read and that deck hmm... 😍 sooo made me smile and laugh. A wonderful adventure for the year to come 😄 have a wonderful holiday and happy new year
