The nine of pentacles covered by an amethyst, signifying a strong self image powered by self love. The ten of pentacles covered by a tiger’s eye, employing a discerning and wise attitude in regards to advancing in a career. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fdbcf287693bc69b847abdc/1613751821380-OUGSHMDHT1CWE904ZFD4/IMG-5138.jpg Grimoire - Tarot and Spellcasting - How to incorporate Tarot and Oracle cards into Magickal Workings https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fdbcf287693bc69b847abdc/1613752921660-CKK8M46EW9N54UAPAURF/IMG-5102.jpg Grimoire - Tarot and Spellcasting - I will then place crystals on top of each card to ‘activate’ the card’s energy with yet another layer of intention. Here is the same working with the ace of cups added and a pyrite on top, symbolizing an open heart while also being assertive about it. Over the two of cups is a dragon’s blood jasper, which adds positive sexuality to the intention. Now the working has a little more masculinity in it’s energy profile. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fdbcf287693bc69b847abdc/1613752277960-EX8MLWFB5A0PEU4CNJAD/IMG-5099.jpg Grimoire - Tarot and Spellcasting - Here is a very basic spell set up with one card. I’ll often place the candle on a plate to protect my cards from dripping wax and to also adorn with other intentional epithets like sigils, plants, feathers, salt, and the like. I chose the two of cups here to strengthen my intention of drawing a new romantic interest into my life. https://www.balefirecraftworks.com/grimoire/homesteady-smoking-blend-recipe monthly 0.5 2021-02-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fdbcf287693bc69b847abdc/1612535654391-SSHC4IXPROLW7F2065AY/IMG-4916.jpg Grimoire - Homesteady Smoking Blend Recipe https://www.balefirecraftworks.com/grimoire/Blog Post Title One-et2l3 monthly 0.5 2021-02-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fdbcf287693bc69b847abdc/1612370301627-FSFCFMX45RWUR5CPE80N/IMG-4810.jpg Grimoire - Friday Drawing Spell Oil - Process Dry all of your herbs. Using dried herbs will ensure the oil a longer shelf life. Fill your jar one third of the way with herbs, one at a time. As you drop each herb in, visualize and/or vocalize your intention with the herb. This is important because any one herb can have many correspondences, so you must dictate to the herb what it’s purpose is. Use your intuition here and have fun with it. You can add more of certain herbs or less of others if you want to have a more personalized feel. You can add different herbs of your choosing or negate my suggestions altogether if you wish. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fdbcf287693bc69b847abdc/1612361802745-IUUW6T2AF9N3S0IDJ3ZJ/IMG-4815.jpg Grimoire - Friday Drawing Spell Oil - Friday Drawing Spell Oil Intended for Positive Manifestations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fdbcf287693bc69b847abdc/1612367070055-R9HXQ1928PJKHOWZNF8M/IMG-4812.jpg Grimoire - Friday Drawing Spell Oil - Fill the jar to the brim with grapeseed oil and screw the lid on tightly, once again infusing the jar with your intentions as you turn the lid. Gently rock the jar back and fourth until all the herbs are mixed, again keeping your intentions in mind. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fdbcf287693bc69b847abdc/1612363299687-IU1GJOM9QO3RJ95QC3KA/IMG-4806.jpg Grimoire - Friday Drawing Spell Oil https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fdbcf287693bc69b847abdc/1612367311513-QCOPE5YI0MIDU6WER7KD/IMG-4815.jpg Grimoire - Friday Drawing Spell Oil - Place your jar on your altar and surround with crystals of your choosing. I chose citrine and rose quartz for their positive attributes; citrine having a jovial manifestation aspect and rose quartz for loving energy, particularly self love. Other crystal suggestions would be green aventurine, bloodstone, amethyst, clear quartz, and pyrite. Burn a chime candle on top of the lid in a corresponding color of your choosing. I chose a pastel green to symbolize both love and money. Adhere the candle to the jar by gently melting a few drops of wax from the bottom of the candle. As the candle burns, visualize and/or vocalize your intentions into the oil. Chime candles can burn for up to two hours, so very often I do not sit and stare at the candle the entire time it’s burning. I will concisely state my intentions, focus on the flame for a few minutes, and release the energy. I leave the candle burning within sight until it snuffs itself out. Spell oils in general should sit steeping like this for at least one moon cycle. This oil will be sitting for two moon cycles, so it is set to be harvested on March 28th, which is a full moon. During it’s steeping period, it needs to be gently shaken everyday to ensure all the ingredients are being infused equally throughout. Be sure to shake as gently and lovingly as possible, gently turning the jar in all directions would be ideal. I recommend consistent and regular energy imbuements by lighting a fresh chime candle on top of the jar every Friday and allowing the candle to burn down completely. When you’re ready to harvest, all you have to do in open the jar and pour the contents into another jar, using a cheesecloth to catch the solid herbs. https://www.balefirecraftworks.com/home daily 1.0 2025-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fdbcf287693bc69b847abdc/73d3793a-49f6-4450-b8c2-eecb91ce75f5/IMG_5891.jpeg Home https://www.balefirecraftworks.com/about-me daily 0.75 2025-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fdbcf287693bc69b847abdc/1608244769749-N6F8SY6IPXIGKQOQSWQ6/Screen+Shot+2020-12-17+at+4.28.16+PM.png About Me - Carly Seguin, Balefire Craftworks I was born and raised in New England and began my tarot practice in 2001 with the development of my craft shortly thereafter.
