Last week, I shared all my card decks – this week, I’d like to shine the spotlight on my charm collection!

Plus, I want to give away one charm casting set, as a Christmas gift from me to one of you! So, stay tuned until the end to learn how to enter the giveaway!

Hey everyone! Welcome back to the blog - or if you’re just meeting me for the first time, hi! My name is Ebonie, and this blog (and YouTube channel) is here to help you reconnect to your intuition, so you can manifest in the real world! If that sounds like something that you’re curious about, I hope you’ll consider subscribing to the channel, and the weekly newsletter!

I love casting charms and I’ve made a whole video and blog post explaining what charm casting actually is, so if you haven’t seen it already, click here to check that out!

Today’s video is about showing you all the charms I have in a little more detail, the meanings behind each charm, and how I’ve collected them.

Whether you’re looking to start your own collection, or you want to grow what you’ve already gathered, I hope today’s video is helpful! I know I was excited to start collecting charms, but it took me a while to actually get started with it. Now I use my charms pretty much every day!

I love adding them into every Tarot reading I do for my weekly newsletter and for individual readings, and it’s the reason I call them ‘Charmed Tarot’ readings! I have no doubt that if I do eventually start sharing pick a card readings on this channel, charms will definitely be included! They are just so much fun, add so much meaning to readings, and I always get so much greater clarity and insight when I include them. They point things out from the cards I’ve drawn to highlight certain aspects and make every reading so unique.

Clearly, I’m obsessed with charm casting, and no doubt 13-year-old charm-bracelet wearing me would be ecstatic!

What really helps me to collect and read charms is basing them on the Lenormand card system. For this, I am so grateful to The Truth in Story YouTube channel, as she has shared so many helpful videos her own charm set, which is also based on the Lenormand card system! I’ve come across lots of helpful resources on charm casting and Lenormand, so at the bottom of this blog post I’ll have a list of recommendations for you to check out if you’re curious to learn more!

Basing the set on Lenormand means you essentially start off with a checklist of symbols that already have defined meanings. This is helpful for two reasons: firstly, you can search for particular charms, so it narrows it down when there are so many cute ones to choose from, and secondly, when you’re reading the charms you can use the Lenormand meanings to help you! As a bonus, basing your charm set on Lenormand means you’re learning about the card system at the same time too!

I definitely couldn’t resist a few extra charms too, and I think they really round out the collection well.

So, all that being said, let me tell you all about my charm collection! Click here to watch today’s video, to see each charm in detail!

 My Charm Collection

As I mentioned, I have all the Lenormand card system represented in my charms! I really love the meanings that are attributed to each of these symbols. There are a few charms that aren’t precisely following the Lenormand system, however I think they work well as substitutes! I think the meanings still come across well.

Alongside the Lenormand-Based Charms, I also have a few extras. I feel like these really round out the collection well!

The charm set of seven chakras I don’t always include when charm casting - I will often draw from them separately so I can just focus on one chakra at a time. I find this works really well with Tarot cards too, having one chakra to focus on for a reading.

If I’m doing a really in-depth charm reading, I’ll use absolutely all of the charms at once! To learn more about how I like to do my Charmed Tarot readings, you can check out my previous Charm Casting blog post and video here, and my bookings info page here also explains how I use charms in readings!

The following keywords for the Lenormand-based charms have been derived from an awesome resource for Lenormand meanings, Labyrinthos website. See the resources and recommendations list below! The keywords for the extra charms are entirely my own, but as I said, the benefit of basing most of my charm collection on Lenormand is that the meanings for those charms are already set, making it so much easier to interpret the charms!
