What This Spell is For
This spell is ideal for when you feel overwhelmed by where you are in life, or by the lack of progress you feel that you’ve made, or the sheer number of “wants” that you have — despairing that you’ll ever get where you want to be.
Let The World card help you to get clarity on what you really need and really want (rather than what society and consumer culture make you feel that you must have).
The World card will help you learn where your material (and spiritual) happiness lies, and that answer will be different for each person, because you are a unique soul.
What You’ll Need:
The World Card or a printed image of it
Your journal or some paper and a pen
A fire-proof dish (make sure it’s metal and something you don’t mind tarnishing a bit)
My Have It All Spell
Sit in a quiet, undisturbed place, holding The World card, and gazing at the goddess at the center of the card, ask her to assist you in getting clarity on how to have it all.
Grab your paper and pen and have The World card near or on the page you’ll be writing on.
Now, make a list of everything you think you need in order to have it all. Take no more than 5 minutes to do this (let your subconscious do the writing).
When the 5 minutes has ended, put down your paper.
Stand up, with The World card in your two hands and set a timer for 60 seconds.
Begin to turn slowly in a clockwise direction while you take long slow inhales and exhales, with your eyes focused on the center of the card. (You’re just slowly spinning, on one spot. No thoughts. Try to clear your mind and just focus on the card.) If you become too dizzy before the timer goes off, it’s perfectly okay to stop.
Sit down again in the same spot you sat before, and take a look at your list. Ask The World card to help you identify which items on your list really count, and will really be the most important to you when you look back on your life decades from now. Circle those, or edit them based on your deep inner feeling.
Most people will find that they end up with a smaller and more focused list. And that it’s also a list that feels much more possible to have and to enjoy.
You can also ask The World card to help you prioritize the remaining items on your list, to give you the best order to work toward them.
Perhaps you’ll find that one item naturally leads to another item and that you have new insights on how to achieve the life you want in a shorter amount of time.
Optional Step to Release Desires You No Longer Want
If you’ve been tormenting yourself about certain things you must have (and seem impossible to have), and this spell has shown you that you don’t want or need some of those things at all, this next step is for you.
It’s to help you get emotionally free of those desires you’ve decided aren’t really priorities for you.
On a separate, small slip of paper, write down all of the things that you no longer want because they’re causing you more stress (or financial worry) than they’re worth.
Grab your fire-safe metal dish, some matches or a lighter, and go to your kitchen sink (for added fire safety).
Place the metal dish in your sink. Before you light your slip of paper, say to yourself silently (or aloud) that you now release those desires so that you can now be happier and more carefree.
Now light your paper, drop it into the metal dish and let it burn to ash. Take the dish with the ashen paper to your back door. Open the door and walk outside. Blow the ashes away from you (far enough away that they won’t blow back into your house.) You are now free.
Closing the Spell
Before closing this spell, ask The World if there’s anything more you need to know right now, and write down any messages that you feel are coming from the card (but not from your conscious or anxious mind).
Thank The World Card for her assistance. Place her back into the deck in the center of the other cards, right side up, and ask her to bless your deck to give you the most accurate possible answers and wisdom in the future.
And, now, you’re ready to take on your own personal world.
