Oovomancy - Divination Success!

One of my favorite classes of the semester was when our friends presented on WitchTok and Oovomancy. I loved how they gave us the opportunity to participate in this fortune telling tool by bringing eggs to class. I was laughing because in my group of boys no one knew how to crack an egg. So, I was the one who cracked an egg, so the fortune was about me! Once it cracked, we looked at the whites and the yolks in the water. We let it settle for a minute before looking for the different signs according to the key that the presenters provided for us. 

The yolk was covered in a layer of whites. My group and I interpreted this to mean that I was surrounded by a good group of people and a strong support system. I think that this is true to my real life so it was very interesting to make this observation. Another thing that we noticed on my egg was three short strings of egg whites and one long string of white pointing up from the center. According to the map, this was supposed to mean that I had three opportunities and would be expecting one more big opportunity. Because the three were shorter and the fourth was longer, our group interpreted it to mean that the fourth option would be the one that would work out the best. Applying this to my own life, I took this to mean that the last graduate program that I was waiting to hear back from would be the one that I would decide to attend. I had been anxiously waiting to hear from my last school and was starting to think it was a lost cause. It applied perfectly because I had three other options (the three short ones) and one final option (the long one) that I was waiting to hear from. 

After class I called my friend to tell her about how the Oovomancy predicted that I was going to get in to my last school! We decided to keep our fingers crossed but I hoped that the prediction would come true. A few nights later the divination came true! I got in to my fourth school and I have decided to go there! I think it is so fun that this was all predicted in the eggs. It might have been wishful thinking, but I like to believe that it was magic!

Personal Experience with Crystals, Astrology, and Elsa the Neighborhood Witch

     As we talked about astrology and crystals in class, it had me thinking about some personal experiences with the witches in my community at home. The town that I live in is small, eclectic, and home to a very vibrant arts community. Naturally, there is a popular crystal shop called Earth Stones International owned by a woman named Elsa on the main street next to the shop where I work every summer. The walls in her shop are lined with crystals big and small from the floor to the ceiling. Some of them are labeled with their names and the energies that they enhance, block, or carry, while others remain unmarked and mysterious. For those unmarked crystals, you have to rely on Elsa to teach you their powers.       Over the years, my mom and I have become friends with Elsa. When I first met her, she asked me for my birthday and after crunching some numbers in her head told me that my “number” was six. She told me that this meant that I was very critical ...

Elsa the Witch Pt. 2: Sage and Rituals

I particularly enjoyed this section about the magic of plants and their healing powers. In my last blog post, I mentioned my personal interactions with our local witch. In addition to her crystals and their healing powers, she also believes strongly in the healing powers of plants. She sent us home with a few bundles of sage and instructions on how to perform a cleansing ritual on our house.  To successfully cleanse the energy in our home, Elsa told us that we needed to open every door and window in our house to give the energy a place to escape. She told us to light the sage and to set the intention of removing all negative energy from our space. Next, we were to walk through every door in our house and run the burning sage through each doorframe in the house in a clockwise motion. Once we hit each doorframe, we were to smudge out the sage and fan the smoke out through the open doors and windows. Once we had closed the house back up, the energy left inside was supposed to be clear...

Tarot Cards, Divination(?), and Witch-Tok

Throughout our course readings I was very interested to learn more about Tarot cards and their origins and purposes. I have had increasing familiarity with tarot cards and readings over the course of quarantine and the pandemic, as these readings and videos pertaining to tarot card divination grew in popularity on tik-tok over the course of this period. Creators perform readings for their viewers, shuffling the cards and pulling them out- each one revealing a different aspect or prediction for the viewer’s life. This was always interesting to me because these videos reach such a wide audience, with some posts garnering more than 1 million views. Yet, thousands of people in the comments resonate with the message and predictions for their future.  One post by the user kyra.moon ( Link ) claims to predict the future of her viewers with her tarot card deck. She asks her viewers earnestly why they are searching for fulfillment outside of themselves. The cards reveal that this belief com...
