How to Use Your Oracle Cards at Your Altar for Guidance and Growth

Your altar is more than a place for candles and symbols — it’s a meeting point between you and the Divine. It’s where the energy you offer meets the wisdom waiting to guide you.


One of the most powerful ways to engage with that wisdom is through oracle cards.

When you place a deck on your altar, it’s not just a tool — it’s a living voice in your practice. It speaks, you listen, and together you weave the magic of the day.

✨ Why Oracle Cards Belong on Your Altar

  • They’re a Mirror: They reflect the truths you already carry within, even if you’ve been avoiding them.

  • They’re a Messenger: They give Hecate — or any guiding spirit — a direct way to nudge, confirm, or challenge you.

  • They Anchor Your Practice: Even on the busiest days, one card can center you, inspire you, or remind you of your next step.

Both my Crossroads Oracle and River Witch Oracle decks were created for exactly this purpose — to bridge your daily life and your spiritual path. They’re rich with layered meaning, making them perfect for altar work.

🔮 A Simple 3-Card Altar Spread

Here’s a spread you can try tonight. It’s quick, potent, and perfect for connecting with your altar’s energy.

  1. Card 1 – What energy is present in my life right now? This sets the stage for your reading, revealing the forces at play.

  2. Card 2 – What guidance does Hecate have for me today? This is your divine nudge, insight, or instruction.

  3. Card 3 – What action will best serve my highest good? This grounds the reading in something tangible you can do.

🃏 Example Reading – Card Pull: Protective Energy


This card’s appearance is a reminder to guard your energy — physically, emotionally, and spiritually. If your altar is a doorway, this is the lock on the door. Take time today to check your boundaries, both in your magical work and in your everyday life.

🛡️ Free Gift for You – Protection Visualization

To help you embody this energy, I’ve created a free downloadable Protection Visualization you can use right at your altar. It’s simple, powerful, and takes just a few minutes.

💬 A Sincere Invitation

If this practice resonates, consider bringing one of my exclusive oracle decks into your altar work — they’re only available through my website. And for those who want to go deeper, my classes and ebooks offer step-by-step ways to strengthen your magical skills, from lunar rituals to shadow work.

And remember — every purchase supports the Blessing Box of Goldsboro, placing food and care at the crossroads for those in need.

Final Thought: Your altar is a conversation. Oracle cards make it a dialogue worth returning to every day. Listen closely — the answers are already there.

Let wisdom, new beginnings, and creative expression shape your day.

Have a glorious day. 🔥

Working with Your Altar: Daily Practices to Deepen Your Connection to Hecate

 You’ve built your altar for Hecate — the candles are set, the symbols chosen, the energy alive.Now comes the real magic: using it.

An altar isn’t meant to gather dust. It’s a living, breathing space that evolves with you. The more you interact with it, the more it becomes a portal for guidance, grounding, and transformation.

🌙 Simple Daily Practices for Your Altar

These practices are simple and don’t require much time. You can do them in just 5–10 minutes, even on your busiest days. Let’s explore how to deepen your connection with your altar.

1. Light a Candle with Intention

Each morning or evening, light a candle on your altar. As you do, name your intention for the day or night. It can be as simple as:

“May I move through today with clarity and courage.”

2. Pull a Card

Keep your Crossroads Oracle or River Witch Oracle nearby. Pull one card, place it on your altar, and let it guide your day’s focus.

3. Offer Something Small

It could be fresh water, a flower, a pinch of herbs, or even a handwritten note. Offerings aren’t about cost — they’re about heart. Each small gesture nourishes the connection.

4. Speak to Her

A whispered prayer, a short chant, or just an honest check-in. Let it be natural. Hecate hears sincerity, not rehearsals. Speak from your heart, and feel the warmth of her presence.

5. Keep It Fresh

Once a week, gently dust, rearrange, or add something seasonal. This keeps the energy vibrant and invites ongoing connection. A fresh flower or a new crystal can breathe life into your altar.

The Altar as a Sacred Space

Your altar serves as a sacred space, a threshold between the mundane and the divine. Each time you approach it, you step into a realm of possibility. This sacred act invites transformation and connection. 

🃏 Today’s Card: Threshold





This card reminds us that the altar itself is a threshold — a meeting place between the everyday and the sacred. Every time you step up to it, you’re choosing to cross into a space of possibility. Use that space wisely.

✨ Free Resource

If you’d like a simple guided ritual to pair with your altar work, I’ve created a free visualization for connecting with Hecate at the crossroads. ➡️ Download it here.

💬 A Sincere Invitation

If you’re ready to take your altar practice deeper, my courses offer structured ways to work with Hecate, explore shadow work, and weave meaningful rituals into your daily life. If now isn’t the right time, that’s okay — keep showing up at your altar in your own way.

Every class, ebook, or deck you purchase helps support the Blessing Box of Goldsboro, providing food and care to those in need at the crossroads of our community.

Final Thought

An altar isn’t about how it looks. It’s about how it feels — and the relationship it helps you build with the Divine. Show up for it, and it will show up for you.

Let wisdom, new beginnings, and creative expression shape your day.

Have a glorious day. 🔥

Triple Brew - Weekly Three Card Draw with Rev. Olson for 23 March 2025






Welcome to Triple Brew - Your Three Card Draw for the Week of Sunday 23 March 2025

As we explore the wisdom of the River Witch Oracle, deeply rooted in the magic of the South, I acknowledge with profound respect the sacrifices and enduring spirit of the enslaved Africans and Indigenous peoples whose rich legacies permeate these lands. This deck is drawn with a deep commitment to honor their pain, their contributions, and their unparalleled resilience. Every reading is an act of remembrance and reverence for their profound impact on the cultural fabric of this region.

Sweet Tea

Comfort, Hospitality, The Sweetness of Life: 

This week, immerse yourself in the warm embrace of comfort and hospitality. This card calls on you to relish the cozy moments and simple joys that sprinkle sweetness throughout our days. It’s a perfect time to nurture your soul with the pleasures of good company and the tranquility of familiar spaces.

Magnolia Tree

Beauty, Resilience, Southern Hospitality 

As you navigate through this week, let the Magnolia Tree inspire you to uphold dignity and grace under pressure. This card symbolizes the strength that blooms through resilience and the beauty that comes from extending a hand or a smile to those around us, even when times are tough.

Tobacco Leaf

Heritage, Sacrifice, Tradition

Reflect on the roots that ground you and the legacies that shape your present. This card deepens our connection to our heritage, reminding us of the enduring spirit and the sacrifices that have paved the paths we walk today. Honor these traditions in your actions and in the choices, you make as they continue to influence the fabric of your daily life.

This week, the cards weave a rich narrative of finding solace in comfort, standing strong with grace, and honoring the depths of our heritage. Each card offers a unique lens through which to view your week—savor the small joys, maintain your composure against challenges, and engage deeply with the histories that have shaped you. Let these insights guide you through a week filled with personal growth and heartfelt connections.

Remember the River Witch Oracle and the Crossroads Oracle are available on my website at HecateBrimo.org - all proceeds go to support our sanctuary commitment to the Food/House insecure of Goldsboro North Carolina.


I recognize and honor the Indigenous tribes whose sacred lands we now inhabit and the enslaved Africans whose resilience and contributions deeply shape our community. I am committed to acknowledging and respecting these rich legacies in all of my practices. - With every action, I strive to honor this truth.
