The card’s simple design makes them easily accessible without a need for a guide book. You should, however, consider studying the angel numbers to understand what these numbers represent.

What Are Angel Numbers?

Angel numbers are repeating number sequences (e.g., 111, 444, 888) believed to carry spiritual meaning and divine guidance. Many people see these numbers during pivotal life moments or transitions. Each number sequence resonates with specific energies — from new beginnings and inner growth to alignment, protection, and manifestation.

With no fixed system, the deck is unique, “making it ideal for beginners and experienced spiritual seekers alike. “ The Angel Numbers Oracle combines numerical symbolism with messages of light, offering personal empowerment with every draw.

How to Use:

1. Shuffle the deck while focusing on your question or energy.
2. Draw one or more cards intuitively.
3. Read the message and reflect on how the angel number relates to your current path.
4. Use it for daily pulls, affirmations, or paired with crystal work or journaling.

Perfect For:

• People who frequently see repeating numbers and want to understand them
• Spiritual seekers, lightworkers, and energy readers
• Daily inspiration and self-healing practices
• Gifts for loved ones on a spiritual journey

These decks are cheap, frankly they look and feel cheap. But, for a couple of quid from online sellers (don’t pay more than £4)  they represent a cute little deck that may end up wetting your appetite for more expensive and better looking cards. Remember, it’s not the cards that really matter it’s your own intent, concentration and patience. An expensive deck may look gorgeous but it will be no more effective. What matters is what decks resonates best with you regardless of price.

Mars, the “red planet,” holds profound metaphysical and spiritual significance across astrology, planetary magic, alchemy, and esoteric traditions. 

It embodies raw, dynamic life force—the spark of action, will, and transformation. Unlike gentler planets, Mars represents the primal “yes” to existence: the drive to assert, protect, create, and conquer obstacles.

Its astrological glyph—a circle (spirit) with an arrow pointing outward and upward—symbolises the spear and shield of the warrior, or the directed flow of vital energy. This icon captures Mars’ essence: outward-directed force rooted in inner strength.

Mythological and Archetypal Roots

In Roman mythology, Mars (Greek Ares) is the god of war, but also agriculture, protection, and vitality—far more than mere aggression. He rules conflict as a path to victory and honor. In spiritual terms, Mars is the “inner warrior” or masculine (yang) principle: the instinct for survival, assertion, and passionate pursuit. Esoteric traditions link him to deities like the Norse Tyr (justice in battle), Morrigan (Celtic battle goddess), Kali (fierce transformation), or Huitzilopochtli (Aztec warrior sun).

Spiritually, Mars teaches that true power arises from channeling raw energy consciously rather than suppressing or unleashing it destructively. It bridges the root chakra (Muladhara—for physical survival and grounding) and solar plexus (Manipura—for personal will and empowerment). Some traditions associate it with the navel center, where fire ignites action.

Core Metaphysical and Spiritual Properties

•  Action and Willpower: Mars is the planet of doing. It fuels motivation, ambition, courage, and the drive to turn ideas into reality. Spiritually, it represents personal agency—the ability to assert your truth and manifest change. 

•  Energy and Vitality: Linked to physical stamina, blood, muscles, and life force (prana or chi). In Vedic astrology (as Mangal or Mangala), it governs karma yoga (action as spiritual practice), athleticism, and land/property as extensions of earthly power. It enhances health through disciplined effort. 

•  Passion and Sexuality: Mars rules desire, libido, and creative fire. It embodies the raw, procreative urge—sexual energy as a sacred force for union or self-empowerment.

•  Courage and Victory: It bestows the strength to face challenges, overcome enemies (internal or external), and achieve triumph. In magic, Mars energy supports protection, breaking obstacles, legal victories, or building confidence. 

•  Transformation Through Fire: Alchemically tied to iron (its metal) and the element of fire, Mars symbolizes forging the self in the heat of experience—refining will through trials. 

Balanced Mars inspires progress, resilience, and purposeful growth. Misaligned (e.g., retrograde or afflicted), it can manifest as anger, impulsivity, frustration, conflict, or burnout—lessons in redirecting energy constructively. 

Magical Correspondences

Planetary magick practitioners work with Mars (especially on Tuesdays, its sacred day) for rituals involving courage, defense, passion, or success.

Ritual Practices:

•  Light a red candle inscribed with the Mars symbol during a Tuesday Mars hour; meditate on the glyph while focusing intent.

•  Carry iron nails, bloodstone, or a Mars talisman for protection.

•  Burn dragon’s blood incense or nettle in defensive workings.

•  Physical acts (martial arts, exercise) as offerings to embody the energy.

•  Invoke deities like Mars/Ares, Kartikeya, or Tyr alongside.

Working with Mars Spiritually

To align with Mars energy:

•  Meditate on its red glow or glyph during a Tuesday Mars hour.

•  Engage in physical movement (exercise, martial arts) as devotion.

•  Journal intentions for bold action while holding a red crystal.

•  In Vedic remedies, practices like Mangal mantras or donating red items honor its lessons without amplifying malefic effects.

Cautions: Mars is malefic when unbalanced—workings can backfire as anger, accidents, or conflict. Grounding, moderation, and ethical intent are essential. In hermetic and Solomonic traditions, proper timing (planetary hours) and purification enhance efficacy.

Ultimately, Mars reminds us that the universe rewards the courageous spirit. Its energy is not inherently destructive—it is the forge where raw potential becomes purposeful power, guiding us toward authentic self-expression and victory in life’s battles. Whether viewed through Western astrology, Vedic jyotish, or hermetic magic, Mars calls us to act with heart, honor our instincts, and wield our will wisely.

Create a Mars talisman

Mars talismans in planetary magic are objects charged with the potent, fiery energy of Mars (Mangal/Kuja) to amplify courage, protection, victory, strength, willpower, and the ability to overcome obstacles or enemies. They draw from traditions like the Picatrix ( as shown below) Cornelius Agrippa’s Three Books of Occult Philosophy, the Key of Solomon, and related grimoires. These talismans act as “batteries” or focal points for Martial virtues when created under precise astrological elections. 

Core Principles and Timing

Traditional construction requires an electional astrology chart where Mars is strong and unafflicted:

•  Mars in its signs of rulership (Aries or Scorpio), exaltation (Capricorn), or a favourable house (especially angular).

•  Mars rising or culminating (near the Ascendant or Midheaven).

•  Not combust (too close to the Sun) or retrograde.

•  Supported by a swift, well-aspected Moon (not void of course).

Best times: Tuesday (Mars’ day) during a Mars planetary hour (there are typically 3–4 per day/night). Use planetary hour tables for precision. 

The talisman is created, inscribed, and consecrated in that window—often fumigated with Martial incenses (dragon’s blood, myrrh, pepper, cinnamon, or tobacco) while invoking Martial spirits, angels (e.g., Graphiel as Intelligence, or Kamael/Samael as archangel), or deities like Mars/Ares, Kartikeya, or Hanuman.

Materials and Forms

•  Metals: Iron or steel (primary); sometimes red brass or alloys. Pure iron can be challenging to work with, so steel or iron filings in other bases are common.

•  Stones/Gems: Bloodstone, garnet, ruby, red jasper, diamond (per some Picatrix recipes), or red coral.

•  Other: Engraved on rings, medals, pendants, plates, swords, or even paper/parchment for temporary use. Worn as jewelry, carried, or placed in a home/vehicle. 

Key Designs and Inscriptions

The most iconic element is the Magic Square (Kamea) of Mars—a 5x5 grid with numbers 1–25 where each row, column, and diagonal sums to 65 (the total sum is 325). Lines drawn through the numbers in sequence create the sigil of Mars’ Intelligence (Graphiel).

Common Inscriptions (from Agrippa and Picatrix):

•  Sigils/seals of Mars, its Intelligence (Graphiel), and Spirit (Barzabel).

•  Images: A crowned warrior with sword and shield; a man riding a lion holding a sword and severed head; an armed soldier with lance.

•  Names of Martial angels or spirits (e.g., Samael, Graphiel).

•  Verses or barbarous names for potency in war, victory, or protection.

Construction Steps (Simplified Traditional Approach)

1.  Calculate and select the election time.

2.  Prepare the material (cleanse and engrave/inscribe during the hour).

3.  Fumigate with appropriate incense and invoke (e.g., “Om Kram Kreem Kroum Sah Bhaumaya Namah” or Solomonic conjurations).

4.  Charge by exposure to Martial forces (visualisation, blood-red candles, or battlefield symbolism).

5.  Seal and carry/wear with intent; periodically “feed” with incense or blood (symbolic).

You may use paper versions, jewellery, or digital aids for accessibility, but traditional sources emphasize precise timing and materia.

People: Raymond Buckland

 Raymond Buckland (31 August 1934 – 27 September 2017),

Craft name Robat, was a British-born author, Wiccan high priest, and occultist widely regarded as the “Father of American Witchcraft.” He played a pivotal role in introducing and popularising Gardnerian Wicca in the United States and creating his own tradition, Seax-Wica. 

Early Life

Buckland was born in London, England, to Stanley Thomas Buckland (of Romanichal/Romani descent) and Eileen Lizzie Wells (English). The family moved to Nottingham during World War II, where he attended Nottingham High School and developed interests in amateur theater and the occult/spiritualism, inspired by a Spiritualist uncle around age 12. He later attended King’s College School and earned a doctorate in anthropology from Brantridge Forest College. 

In 1955, he married his first wife, Rosemary Moss. He served in the Royal Air Force (1957–1959) and worked in a London publishing company before emigrating with his family to the United States in 1962, settling on Long Island, New York. There, he worked for British Airways (BOAC). 

Introduction of Wicca to America

While in the US, Buckland read Margaret Murray’s The Witch-Cult in Western Europe and Gerald Gardner’s Witchcraft Today, sparking his deep interest. 

He corresponded with Gardner and, in 1963, he and Rosemary traveled to Perth, Scotland, where they were initiated into Gardnerian Wicca by High Priestess Monique Wilson (Lady Olwen). They returned with a copy of the Gardnerian Book of Shadows and established the first Gardnerian coven in the United States on Long Island in 1964. 

Buckland was one of the first people in the US to publicly identify as a Wiccan practitioner. Initially keeping a low profile, he and his wife were outed by the media, leading to public appearances (including on talk shows). He also founded the First Museum of Witchcraft and Magick in the US (starting in his basement in 1968 and later moving locations), inspired by Gardner’s museum on the Isle of Man. 

Major Contributions and Traditions

After separating from Rosemary in 1973, Buckland left the original coven. In 1974, he created Seax-Wica (or Saxon Witchcraft), a tradition drawing on Anglo-Saxon pagan symbolism that emphasised solitary practice and did not require formal initiation. 

He detailed it in The Tree: The Complete Book of Saxon Witchcraft and ran a successful correspondence course that attracted around 1,000 students. 

He was a strong advocate for making Wicca accessible, supporting “outer court” practices and solitary paths, which influenced the broader growth of eclectic and solitary Wicca in America. His Long Island coven/lineage produced many influential figures in modern Paganism. 

Books and Writings

Buckland was a prolific author with over 40 titles on Wicca, magic, the occult, Spiritualism, and fiction. 

Key works include: 

•  Witchcraft from the Inside (1971) — One of his early influential books.

•  Practical Candleburning Rituals (widely popular).

•  Buckland’s Complete Book of Witchcraft (1986, often called “The Big Blue Book”) — A comprehensive “how-to” guide that became a staple for many practitioners.

•  The Tree: The Complete Book of Saxon Witchcraft (1974).

•  Others: Signs, Symbols & Omens, The Witch Book (encyclopedia ), books on Romani Tarot, Scottish Witchcraft, and more.

In later years, he wrote fiction (mysteries, fantasy, sci-fi) and continued some nonfiction.

Personal Life and Later Years

Buckland married three times: first to Rosemary (divorced 1973), then Joan Helen Taylor (1974), and finally Tara (around the mid-1980s), with whom he shared a long and happy marriage. They moved to a farm in north-central Ohio in 1992, where he lived as a solitary practitioner. 

He maintained diverse interests including acting, stand-up comedy, ultralight flying, sports cars, music, and Spiritualism (frequenting Lily Dale). He largely stepped back from public Pagan life but remained respected and occasionally appeared at events or in media. 

His health declined in 2015 with pneumonia and a heart attack; he recovered somewhat but passed away on 27 September 2017 in Ohio from heart and lung complications at age 83. 

Legacy

Buckland’s museum collection has been preserved and is displayed as the Buckland Museum of Witchcraft and Magick in Cleveland, Ohio. 

A detailed biography, High Priest: Raymond Buckland, the Father of American Witchcraftby Jason Mankey (drawing on unpublished memoirs), was published in 2025. 

He is remembered as a gentleman, visionary, and trailblazer who helped transition Wicca from secrecy to a more open, diverse, and accessible spiritual path in America. His influence spans generations through his books, initiatory lines, and emphasis on personal practice.
