Charm Meanings
Charm Casting is a super easy way to practice divination. It's wonderful for beginners and advanced spiritual practitioners who want to deepen their intuition or just try a new form of divination for fun!
Charm casting is a form of divination, where you give individual charms meanings and then based on where they fall on your casting space (cloth, table, box, etc., they will provide insights into different aspects of your life.
You can also just choose to pull 1 charm to answer specific questions such as:
* What can I expect for the day ahead?
* What energy should I embrace today?
* Where can I find/seek needed support?
When it comes to charm casting, sometimes it's a struggle to know what the charms all mean. Below is a list of some common charms and their meanings. I'll continue to add to the list, so keep checking back. *But remember - there are really no rules - if the common meaning of the charm doesn't resonate with you, no worries. Assign a meaning to the charm that means something to you!
