Getting Started with My Witch Garden Spread
Alright so I dug out my tarot deck this morning – the one with moon phases on the back – because I wanted to test that Witch Garden spread everyone’s talking about. Grabbed my coffee, cleared the kitchen table, and shuffled those cards until my wrists kinda hurt. Realized halfway I forgot to focus on my garden-related question! Chugged the rest of my coffee and started over.
Laying Out the Cards
Following the guide’s positions, I slapped down six cards in this funky flower bed pattern:
- Position 1 (Soil): Pulled the Eight of Pentacles – dude’s just hammering away at his workbench. Felt like it meant my basil plant needs daily attention, not just when I remember.
- Position 2 (Seeds): Got the Page of Cups staring at a fish! Honestly giggled because yeah, my “seed” was totally that impulsive rosemary buy last week.
Weird thing happened here – my cat jumped up and nudged the third card. Took it as a sign to add extra care instructions for my catnip plant.
Interpreting the Weird Stuff
When the Tower card showed up in the Harvest position, I almost spilled my tea. My initial panic: “Is my entire herb garden gonna die??” But then I remembered last month’s aphid infestation. Total lightbulb moment – it’s about preparing for disasters, not predicting doom. Felt smug when I wrote that down in my gardening journal.
Connecting the Dots
Final reveal was wild – the Six of Wands in the Sunlight position literally has a victory wreath. Combined with that Page of Cups earlier? Real talk: My “sunlight” is actually celebrating small wins like not killing the mint plant this month. Never realized how much I overlook tiny successes til now. The cards called me out hard.
How I Applied This Mess
Immediately texted my sister: “Label your seedling pots dumbass!” (She’s killed three parsley batches). Revised my watering schedule, stuck neon reminders on my fridge, and even sprinkled cinnamon on soil after reading about natural antifungal properties. Will report back next month if my thyme survives my chaotic energy.
