I made this tarot cheat sheet after being inspired on tiktok <3 I hope this can help anyone who needs it!
●●● Warding
★ There are many forms of magic that serve the purpose of protecting the environments that are important to us
☆ Wardings are a type of magic, which is characterized by the act of creating an energy barrier around something or place, with the intention of protecting. Protective barriers will keep certain energies out, and with clear intentions and practice, you can shift your ward focus to block all negative and harmful energies, or banish only specific energies.
★ Energy barriers can be constructed in many ways, both complex and simplified, and customized according to your personal practices. They can be temporary or permanent, but they are usually made to continue to protect the place for a long period of time.
→ To keep in mind when planning your energy barriers
• Have multiple layers with different purposes. A tip is to have at least the following layers:
1 - Concealment layer, to keep your home camouflaged and to make it more difficult for some entity or person with bad intentions to find your residence.
2 - Offensive layer, intended to deal with entities that wish you harm, or that want to harm you.
3 - Defensive layer, to prevent the energies sent against you from reaching you, whether from people or entities.
• Be very specific and selective when creating your wards, especially when placing intention and visualization. It is not enough to just determine "protection against malicious entities", as this is very vague, and an energetic barrier has no conscience to discern what is a good or bad intention. In that case, a better way to determine your protection would be "protection against entities I consider to be malicious or harmful," as that becomes your personal perspective.
It's always good to make clear what a bad intention is too, such as "things that bring me nightmares", "things that bring conflict to my life", "things that affect me negatively", in short.
• The ceiling, corners of the house, floor and walls must be completely covered by the barriers! It doesn't matter how much power and energy you put into wards, if they have weaknesses and unprotected spaces. So visualization is very important, and in methods that use physical things like water, furniture must be moved to reach hidden spaces.

The Laws of Magick are concepts that describe patterns in the effects of witchcraft. Here are some simple definitions.
The Law of Attraction
What you put out to the world will be returned to you. This is manifestation through intention: "I want kindness so I will give kindness"
The Law of Knowledge
Knowledge is power. The more you know about something, the more you understand it and can use it or have power over it.
The Law of Self-Knowledge
Know thyself. The more you know yourself, the more you are capable of becoming the master of your own destiny and the facilitator of change in your own life.
The Law of Cause and Effect
Consistency is key. If you do the exact same action in the exact conditions, you will get exactly the same results every time.
The Law of Synchronicity
There is no such thing as coincidence. Though possible, it's extremely rare that two things happen at the same time that are not interconnected in some way.
The Law of Association
If any two patterns have elements in common, the patterns interact through those common elements.
The Law of Similarity
Having an accurate physical or mental representation of something facilitates control over it.
The Law of Contagion
Objects or beings in physical contact with each other continue to interact after separation. More contact = more connection.
The Law of Names
Knowing the complete and TRUE name of an object, being, or process gives one complete control over it.
The Law of Words of Power
Certain words hold great power. Even if their meaning is lost, the power is still there. An example is names: though you may not know what your name means exactly, it still holds a lot of power.
The Law of Personification
Personifying (considering it alive or to have a personality) anything makes it an entity. This can be beneficial in many ways: one example is personifying an object to channel a deity through it
The Law of Invocation
It is possible to establish internal communication with entities from either inside or outside oneself, said entities seeming to be inside of oneself during the communication process.
The Law of Evocation
It is possible to establish external communication with entities from either inside or outside oneself, said entities seeming to be outside oneself during the communication process.
The Law of Identification
Prolonged connection or association with another (person, being, entity, etc) can result in becoming said person/thing, including holding their knowledge or power. In other words, possession is possible.
The Law of Personal Universes
Reality is only our perceived conscious understanding of the world around us (and within us). It's possible that "reality" means different things to different people.
The Law of Infinite Universes
The concepts that multiple realities can exist at once, whether that be your own (like "multiple/alternate reality theory") or yours vs another's (like your perception of reality being different than your friend's).
The Law of Pragmatism
If a belief system allows someone to cope, survive, or achieve their goals, it becomes "real," "true," and "sensible" to them.
The Law of True Falsehoods
It's possible for two belief systems to contradict but still exist at the same time. Basically, just because something doesn't make sense to you, it doesn't mean it won't make sense to someone else. This is like a TL;DR of the above 3 laws.
The Law of Synthesis
If two "opposing" patterns combine to produce a new pattern, that new pattern will be more true than the previous two alone. In other words, if two understandings of reality combine, the new understanding will be more "true" or reasonable/understandable because it applies to more realities and therefore can be believed by more people.
The Law of Polarity
Any pattern of data can be split into (at least) two "opposing" characteristics, and each will contain the essence of the other within itself.
The Law of Opposites
The "opposite" of something contains information about said thing, by providing information on what it is not. This creates control or power over it because you now have knowledge over it, even if through its opposite; once again showing how interconnected all existence is.
The Law of Dynamic Balance
Balance is key. To live life to its fullest, one must allow themselves to not fall into extremes so that they can experience all that life is and can offer.
The Law of Perversity
Murphy's Law. If anything can go wrong, it will go wrong. Emotional stability and self-awareness can help avoid things becoming utter disasters.
The Law of Unity
Every phenomena in existence is linked directly or indirectly to every other one, past, present, or future.
a shiny golden coin (ex. penny, after sitting in coke for a day or two- seriously, have you seen those?! SO SHINY)
mint in any form (leaf, extract, essential oil, etc.)
pinch of cinnamon
bay leaf (should be large enough to completely cover one surface of the coin)
money sigil (you can create your own!! Or just draw a dollar sign, that works too. I also sell mine on my site.)
green or gold wax (literally any kind. Melt down a crayon safely, research how to do it!! Or one of those cheap Ikea tealights.)
So picture this spell as a little package with layers.
Pinch up that pinch of cinnamon and drop it on the shiny coin.
Now add your mint on top of that. If it's in liquid form, just drip it onto the cinnamon. If it's in leaf form, sort of wrap it around that little pinch of cinnamon & the coin, or cover it, depending on how big the leaf is.
Draw your sigil (or dollar sign) on the bay leaf, and wrap the whole thing up like a little package. Try to make sure your final wrapping movement, or fold of the leaf, is aimed inwards toward your body, for drawing things in. If you mess this folding bit up though, don't worry! It's not a must.
Flip your little parcel over and seal up all those edges of the bay leaf with some melted/malleable wax.
Accidentally clicked on the poll option gah & I have no idea how to remove it after you've added one does anyone know? So...
When I seal things up in magic, I like to think of the energy inside fermenting like a jar of pickles until you eventually get that deliciously sour yum. In fact, I don't tend to recharge when things are sealed, I just leave it and picture the spell inside slowly growing stronger the longer it's left like that to "ferment." I do this with my spell jars too.
5. You could further wrap up the whole little package with some twine or string the way you would a present, or add a layer of tin foil (especially if you're worried about it getting damaged or falling apart if the wax isn't secure enough) if you like.
6. Leave it somewhere that could count as your 'doorstep.' It's great if you could leave it on your actual doorstep, but it could easily get stepped on there. You could leave it under your doormat (visitors charge when they step on the mat on their way in), under the pot of your potted plant (especially good when it's something also associated with money, like basil), or just tape it to your door where you'd place a wreath.
Do place it on the outside of your home rather than somewhere inside though, since this spell is meant to attract money from the outside to your doorstep. It's very small so if you're a closeted witch, there's not a high chance of it being discovered, and it looks quite mundane when wrapped in tin foil. Granted, a small wad of tin foil on the ground near your door could be mistaken as trash and thrown away, but you can always make a new one!
I tend to swap mine out when I see it's been displaced; ex. If you taped it to the door, it's fallen off; if you didn't tin-foil-wrap it, you see that the wax has broken and the package has come apart.

Witchcraft doesn’t always have to be complicated. Sometimes it’s writing a symbol on your sandwich with honey, or painting your nails a specific color to deflect negativity. Try these low key witchcraft ideas to add a little magical energy to your day-to-day.
Use music lyrics to invoke a certain feeling or vibe before you have to do something. (Confidence to take a test for instance)
Stir your tea or soups clockwise to add an increase of abundance of whatever you want.
Paint your nails black to absorb negativity. (or wear black clothes)
Draw symbols (runes or sigils for people who do that) on your foggy mirror after a bath or shower for protection.
Enchant your morning cup of coffee to what your intentions are for the day and drink up.
Use your shower to wash away negativity from the night before.
Practice visualization and see what you want to happen in your life in your mind.
Sprinkle salt over your entrance for protection. (bonus if it’s black salt)
Enchant your mirrors by cleaning them and saying out loud that they will only reflect positivity.
Look up your dream meanings.
Make a pendulum with a necklace and a key. Ask yes/no questions.
Collect witch supplies on walks. (Sticks, leaves, rocks, flowers…dead things)
Charge your witchcraft items with your intents.
Say prayers to your ancestors. Or leave them out offerings of food or whatever they liked when they were alive.
Practice your kitchen witch skills and make a hardy soup for abundance for the year ahead. Or a cake for prosperity and wealth.
Use a random deck of cards laying around the house for divination. (Clubs - Wands / Diamonds - Coins / Hearts - Cups / Spades - Swords)
Wear blue if you’re taking a test or going on a job interview to invoke calmness.
Wear pink makeup to invoke self love.
Enchant your jewelry to have specific meanings to you. A necklace for protection, a ring for clarity, a bracelet for confidence.
Sweep your room or living space. All the corners and sweep everything right out the door for an easy old-fashioned cleanse. If you have carpet just sweep the ‘energy’ metaphorically and open the door boot out the energy.
