The Jasmine Magic Carpet is a beautiful and enchanting object that holds a significant place in the world of Disney's Aladdin. It is a magical, flying carpet with the ability to transport its riders anywhere they desire. The carpet plays a crucial role in the story, serving as a mode of transportation and a symbol of freedom. In the animated film, Aladdin finds the magical carpet in the Cave of Wonders. This carpet quickly becomes Aladdin's loyal companion, aiding him in his quests and adventures. The carpet's most notable trait is its ability to fly, allowing Aladdin and his friends to traverse across vast distances effortlessly.
To connect with the deck’s divine potential, I need to tap into my spirit team, including ancestors and elements. I felt this instantly on seeing the Inner Circle. It was a literal Inner circle of spirit guides in my knowing, even though I also knew logically that the image derives from a scene of friends (and minor enemies/acquaintance contacts) coming together, not a literally inner circle. That discrepancy between what I knew as a movie fan and what I knew as a reader helped me see the full potential of the deck for me. And the ancestral connection felt like a nod to my sister and mother’s shared love of the movie, as well as my friends’. Also, the spell for this card—the cards also have spells and/or affirmations—involves knot magic, so there’s a literal divine/magical connection in this card pointing to divine connection.
In the third position is Midnight Margaritas, which recalls one of the most famous and fun scenes in the movie at first , and it is a nod to my own and I m sure many others rituals of making margaritas during a watch party I don t remember if it s in the book.

Deck Interview: Inner Witch Oracle
I love Practical Magic, both the book and the movie, but I never bought the first edition of the Inner Witch Oracle by Joseph of GroundedByTheMoon. At the time I did not want a lot of decks, especially not as many decks as I now have, and I wasn’t working as much with oracle decks. But it is definitely a fun deck for someone who knows the movie. And although I actually don’t love the genre of artwork, there’s something about the decks’s color choices and the cards’ black background that bring the cards to life. When I pulled Lavender for the first time, I could see the stalks blowing in the wind (in my mind). And as you will read in the deck interview, it and I will get along well.
Interviewing the Inner Witch Oracle
What major lesson are you here to help me learn? Water
Through which divine energy can we best communicate? Inner Circle
In what area can you aid me to help others? Midnight Margaritas
In what area could your guidance be easily misunderstood? Black Kitten
What can I do to keep our communication clear? Belladonna
How can I use your guidance for the highest good? The Garden Gate
How will I know when we’re ready for a new lesson? Spilled Salt
First and foremost, the deck promises to teach me about being in my emotions, which is often a hard place for me to sit in balance. I love the water, which is the only downside of living in the desert now, but it is easier to walk it off, to contain it. And you can’t contain the ocean. For this Jupiter in Pisces season, it is an apt opportunity to dive in.

Then came the other aspects that are almost too perfect for me. In the third position is Midnight Margaritas, which recalls one of the most famous and fun scenes in the movie (at first), and it is a nod to my own (and I’m sure many others’) rituals of making margaritas during a watch party (I don’t remember if it’s in the book). It is so pivotal that I had actually prepared this photo arrangement with tequila and limes before pulling cards. But the message comes through as connecting with others and this deck as friends and as truth-tellers, sometimes the salty truth. (And if you’re not a fan of tequila, Joseph includes a water-based spell to use as a “shot.”) I sometimes get into trouble for not editing myself, so I have learned to edit. A lot. I limit myself by editing. And this was a reminder that I don’t help anyone by doing that. Sometimes the truth is uncomfortable, and you can try to make it more palatable, but the sting (or burn) hits eventually.
Complementing this card were the fourth and fifth cards, which speak to the impossibility of me trying to stay safe and protected in a little bubble with this deck. There are a lot of references and there is some definite baggage that follows along with it. It is tied to my adolescence, yes, but also to my maturing mind that would put new pieces together over the years. (The short version is that I was always Sally/Sandra Bullock—shocker—but I have realized that I should have tried to be a little more Jillian/Nicole Kidman.) To correct any tendency toward childish tenderness comes Belladonna, the toxin that can provide a temporary escape or more permanently change your fate. No safety here.
And that’s okay. The Garden Gate is open, and that’s relevant now for where I’m going spiritually. To help others to dream and to dare are part of my mission and my role as a reader and coach and teacher. But there is more there, for my clients and for me.
Finally comes the salt, the purifier of the margarita, and the release of negative ties. I posted to my Instagram stories that leaving Texas felt like such a release, even though I loved my time there. And according to the year-ahead Portals of Being reading I did for myself, release my theme for this year.
This deck and I have found each other at just the right time. If I had bought the first version earlier, I don’t know if it would have been right. I wouldn’t have been as open a channel for its oracular messages. But now it’s like a straight shot, no chaser. I might prefer the sugary margarita to hide the sins of the salt and tequila, but it’s not what I need anymore.
And Happy Pride to all the queer witches out there, in or out of the various closets! 🌈
