Connecting with the House Wights: Using Tarot to Connect with Your Household Spirits
Practitioners of cottage magic possess a deep connection to their homes and the land around it. Although some may think of this as a connection to the beams and bricks that make up the house itself, many cottage witches also seek to build a connection with the rich spiritual energies that reside in their homes. For those who acknowledge the spirit realm and seek to walk in step with it, household spirits can be a source of peace and comfort as well as powerful magical allies.
Cottage witches can harness the power of divination to forge a deeper bond with their household spirits. Tarot, with its rich symbolism and intuitive guidance, can serve as a bridge between the mundane and the magical, making it a perfect tool for seeking insights from the spirits that protect and inhabit our living spaces.
