Trust Your Instincts

The card advises trusting your instincts and paying attention to what lies beneath the surface before making responsible decisions in any area, be it work, career, purchases, or relationships.

Illusions

The reflection of the full moon in water speaks of delusions, indicating that it is easier and more pleasant to believe the reflection than to look at the moon itself to understand what reality is. Hidden meanings of subconscious images or feelings can be interpreted through consciousness.

Potential Dishonesty

It’s possible that dishonesty, betrayal, and insincerity surround you. If you have a persistent sense that something is wrong, it is worth exploring the reasons behind it.

Inner Understanding

The card may appear in spreads as a reflection of inner understanding, dreams, or visions. A village witch comes to the lake under the full moon to perform her magical rituals to honor the goddess in her lunar aspect. This is a time of consecrating water for spells and purification, traveling between worlds, and using psychic abilities for divination.

Transformation

A cauldron is used to transform energy from visualization to physical presence. You must be fully confident in the final result and under no circumstances should you use and deceive others. The rule of 'do no harm' always applies.

Manifestation and Energy

The full moon is a time of manifestation and powerful energy changes. The moon affects the earth's tides and the fluids in our bodies, making it the perfect time for magical work and obtaining quick results. The lake surrounded by hazelnut trees hints at the connection between witches and fairies, especially when doing magical work with the energies of nature.

Paths to The Lake

Along the path to the lake grows chamomile, which speaks of peace, intuition, and enlightenment. Holding a nut raised from the bottom of the lake, a sign of secret wisdom, the trout splashes in the water of the lake, a symbol of instinct, secret wisdom, and divination.

Upright Meaning

Following instincts, trusting intuition, manifestation of the subconscious, prophetic dreams, studying magic, exposing deception, revealing hidden truth under the surface, invisible forces, cycles, unclear intentions, magical work with quick results, travels, interest in occult knowledge.

Reversed Meaning

External side, delusion, manipulation of others, suspicions, illusions, impractical ideas.

Keywords
