Mistakes and Misconceptions: Embracing the Learning Curve in Witchcraft

✨🔮🌙

Witchcraft is a profound journey, a tapestry woven with spells, rituals, and self-discovery. Yet, like any intricate art, it comes with its share of learning curves. In this blog post, let's explore the valuable lessons I've learned from my own mistakes and address common misconceptions about witchcraft, helping fellow practitioners navigate this magical path with wisdom.

🩷🩷🩷

1. Embrace Imperfection 🌿🌟

Mistake: Expecting perfection in every spell or ritual.

Lesson: Imperfection is the beauty of human experience. Spells might not always go as planned, but each mistake is a teacher. Embrace the learning process and grow through your craft.

2. Ethics First 🤝⚖️

Mistake: Neglecting ethical considerations in spellwork.

Lesson: Every action in witchcraft has consequences. Uphold ethical principles, ensuring your magic is a force for good. The Wiccan Rede, "An it harm none, do what ye will," is a compass for ethical practice.

3. Knowledge is Power 📚✨

Mistake: Relying solely on intuition without study.

Lesson: Intuition is potent, but a foundation of knowledge is crucial. Dive into the history, symbolism, and traditions of witchcraft. The more you understand, the richer your practice becomes.

4. Respect the Elements 🌬️🔥🌊🌎

Mistake: Disregarding the power of elemental balance.

Lesson: The elements are the cornerstone of magic. Respect their energies in your spells. Balance and harmony with the elements amplify the potency of your craft.

5. Patience in Spellwork 🕰️🕯️

Mistake: Rushing through spellcasting without patience.

Lesson: Spells require time and energy. Rushing compromises their effectiveness. Be patient, focus your intent, and allow the natural flow of magic to unfold.

6. Personalize Your Craft 🌈🌿

Mistake: Trying to fit into someone else's magical mold.

Lesson: Your journey is unique. Tailor your craft to resonate with your beliefs and experiences. The most potent magic comes from authenticity.

7. Openness to Adaptation 🔄🌌

Mistake: Sticking rigidly to one path or tradition.

Lesson: Witchcraft is ever-evolving. Be open to exploring different traditions and adapting your practice. The eclectic nature of witchcraft allows for flexibility and growth.

8. Mindfulness in Manifestation 🌟🧘

Mistake: Focusing solely on desires without mindfulness.

Lesson: Intentions should align with your highest good. Be mindful of what you wish for, ensuring it doesn't harm yourself or others. Positive, mindful manifestation is the key.

9. Embrace Setbacks as Growth 🌱🌑

Mistake: Seeing setbacks as failures.

Lesson: Setbacks are stepping stones to growth. Embrace them, learn from them, and recognize that they're an integral part of the magical journey.

10. Trust Your Intuition 🌠💖

Mistake: Ignoring your inner voice.

Lesson: Your intuition is your greatest guide. Trust it. If something doesn't feel right, explore why. Your instincts are powerful allies on your magical journey.

✨🔮🌙

Remember, dear witches, mistakes are not roadblocks but signposts on this enchanting journey. Embrace the learning curve, for it is in these twists and turns that the true magic of witchcraft unfolds. May your cauldron of wisdom brew with the lessons of your experiences, and may your magical path be illuminated with the light of understanding.

Casting Spells: The Power of Words and Beliefs

Shaina Tranquilino

January 28, 2024

Words are powerful. They have the ability to shape our reality, influence our thoughts, and impact those around us. Just as ancient sorcerers used spells to manifest their desires, we too can harness the same power through the words we speak and the stories we tell. By consciously shifting our narratives from lack to abundance, victimhood to empowerment, and complaint to gratitude, we become alchemists casting beautiful spells that attract positive experiences into our lives.

1. From Lack to Abundance: The first step in casting beautiful spells is transforming our perception of scarcity into one of abundance. Instead of dwelling on what we lack, focusing on abundance opens doors for opportunities and possibilities. By affirming statements like "I always have enough," "The universe provides for me abundantly," or "Opportunities flow effortlessly towards me," we begin to reprogram our subconscious mind and invite prosperity into our lives.

2. From Victim to Empowered: Playing the role of a victim disempowers us and restricts personal growth. However, by embracing a mindset of empowerment, we tap into our inner strength and resilience. Our words hold immense power in this transformational process. Affirmations such as "I am in control of my own destiny," "I possess all the resources I need within me," or "Every challenge is an opportunity for growth" help us shift from victimhood to empowerment. As we believe these statements, they act as spells that empower us with confidence and determination.

3. From Complaint to Gratitude: Complaining breeds negativity while gratitude cultivates positivity and attracts more blessings into our lives. When we complain about circumstances or people, we unknowingly invite more reasons for dissatisfaction. By consciously practicing gratitude in both thought and speech, we transform complaints into appreciation for what is already present. Expressions like "I am grateful for every lesson life offers me," "I appreciate the love and support I receive daily," or "Thank you for this beautiful day filled with endless possibilities" become spells that manifest joy, contentment, and abundance.

4. Casting Beautiful Spells: Once we have shifted our own stories from lack to abundance, victimhood to empowerment, and complaint to gratitude, we can then extend these beautiful spells to others. Our words carry energy and intention that can influence those around us. By consciously speaking positively about others, acknowledging their strengths, and encouraging their growth, we cast spells of inspiration and upliftment. The ripple effect of these beautiful spells can create a harmonious environment where everyone thrives.

The power of words cannot be underestimated; they possess the ability to shape our reality and attract more of what we believe. By shifting our personal narratives from lack to abundance, victimhood to empowerment, and complaint to gratitude, we cast beautiful spells that transform our lives for the better. As we speak positively about ourselves and others, our words become catalysts for change, empowering not only ourselves but also those who come into contact with them. Let us remember the incredible power within our voices and use it wisely as we embark on a journey of intentional living through casting beautiful spells.

It's full moon witches!

And this is your time to shine as bright as that beautiful ball in the sky.

(Even if I am sitting here eating flaming hot wotsits, drinking chocolate milkshake and wearing a Thunderbird Five shirt. The power is in the witch, not what you look like.)

I drew some cards, so come here, sit down beside your Sweary witch aunt and take a load off while I tell you what the cards want you to know because if they are meant for you, they'll make their way to your dash.

Our first cards are the beautiful moon magic set and they are telling you that you should be branching out, stretching outwards, allowing yourself to believe in better for yourself.

You know that you are ready for something bigger and brighter than you have now, be that in work, friendships, relationships or even your dwelling. You'll know what this is referring to.

You are flowing towards your goal, like a leaf floating downstream, following the current. You shouldn't fight it, you're going the way you're supposed to go even if you don't think you are. Everything happens for a reason and that reason is to get you to the place you're supposed to be.

I know it's hard, but trust in yourself if you can't bear to trust in anyone else. You might not think you're good enough, you might not feel like you deserve anything better, but I'm telling you, you do. You need to believe in your rights and fight for them.

Next up is the witches wisdom set. These are beautiful, expressive cards that tell you exactly what you need.

They speak of a connection you have with a beloved animal, one that is either still here on the earth plane or in the spirit world. This animal is your familiar, your guardian. You are extremely close with them, they are always by your side and they always know when you are feeling down, kinda like you are now.

That animal is there to remind you that their loyalty and love are unconditional and that you deserve it. So take comfort in them, allow them to comfort you when you need it. Listen to them when they curl closer to you and demand attention, they know that you need it more than they do. They are looking out for you.

And if they are in the world of spirit, know that they are still with you. When you think you hear them on the stairs, they are with you. When you feel their weight on the bed beside you, they're there with you. They are just watching out for you in the spirit realm now. They haven't left you.

The autumn and stability cards come partnered. They speak of the fact that you know a phase of your life is entering its autumn stage. This means that it's either winding down and coming to its natural end. It's starting to die off, making way for a period of cold hibernation where you can relax, reflect and recharge before the spring when you can blossom anew, allowing a fresh phase to begin.

This will be good for you, because you crave stability, security and above all, to know where you stand and you don't have that in your current situation. You've known for a while that something needs to give, that something needs to end for your own mental and physical wellbeing.

I know it's not easy, I'm aware that it will be one of the hardest things you've had to do, but I promise you it will be worth it. Because this phase, this situation, is not serving you. You'll be better off without it.

Next up we have the whispers of love deck. These are gentle cards that deal with relationships in both romantic and platonic ways.

The first card talks of how you just need a hug so badly. You've been feeling lonely, isolated and like you don't matter to anyone right now. Sweetheart, I'm so sorry that you feel this way, because you don't deserve it.

If you are in a relationship this tells me that your partner might not be paying attention to your needs, not in a sexual way, but in a loving, supportive, affectionate way. They might smack you on the butt and call it affection or they might have distanced themselves from you and sit on the opposite end of the couch most days. And that sucks, because what you really want is a night of cuddles on the couch, to walk hand in hand through a park, to wake to a gentle kiss on your forehead. In short you want, you need to feel cherished again.

But, and be honest with me here, have you actually told your partner that you need this? Or are you expecting them to figure it out by themselves? Are you physically shying away from initiating anything or holding yourself back from them in the hope that they will realise that you feel bad and chase after you? Because honey, that only works in the movies.

Most of the time people are so preoccupied with their own day to day shit that they probably won't notice. That or they will think you need some space and will back off because you did, thinking they are doing the right thing by giving you the space you seem to need.

Talk to them. Give them a chance to make this right. Tell them everything you are feeling and how their actions make you feel. And if they don't want to listen or they brush your feelings aside, then you have your answer, then you'll know what you truly mean to them.

This is echoed in the second card, it's telling you to spend quality time together. By making an effort to get to know each other all over again, to make each other the priority for just a little while, will make the world of difference.

These next ones, the rebel deck don't need an explanation or interpretation, they speak for themselves. As does this last one from the spiritual AF set.

And that, my dear, is your November full moon wisdom from the Sweary witch aunt.

Be blessed and be happy.

𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝒟𝒶𝓇𝓀 𝒩𝒾𝑔𝒽𝓉 𝑜𝒻 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝒮𝑜𝓊𝓁 𝒶𝓃𝒹 𝒟𝑒𝒶𝓉𝒽 ℳ𝒶𝑔𝒾𝒸 𝒾𝓃 𝒲𝒾𝓉𝒸𝒽𝒸𝓇𝒶𝒻𝓉. The Dark Night of the Soul, a profound and enigmatic concept, finds its place in the realms of spirituality, occultism, and mysticism. This term, often associated with the writings of the Spanish mystic St. John of the Cross, refers to a deep and agonizing spiritual crisis. It is a journey through the shadowed corridors of one's psyche, a descent into the abyss of the soul, and a powerful, transformative experience that can be likened to death and rebirth in the realm of the spirit.

In the ancient practice of witchcraft, the Dark Night of the Soul holds a unique significance. Witches have long recognized the value of delving into the darkest aspects of themselves to attain a higher state of consciousness. This mystical experience serves as an initiation, a rite of passage, and a crucible through which the soul is purified and reborn. It is the proverbial alchemical process, where base elements of the self are transmuted into gold, symbolizing enlightenment and spiritual transcendence.

Death magic, a term often misunderstood by the uninitiated, is a potent and complex branch of witchcraft. It is not about causing harm or bringing death to others, but rather about embracing the transformative power of death as a natural part of the cycle of life. Death magic entails a deep connection to the underworld and its mysteries, and it involves communing with spirits, ancestors, and the very essence of death itself. Through this communion, witches seek wisdom, guidance, and a deeper understanding of the mysteries of existence.

Funeral rites in witchcraft are profoundly intricate and spiritually charged. They are not morbid, but rather a celebration of life's cycle and an acknowledgment of the transition from the material realm to the spiritual one. These rituals honor the deceased, pay respects to their journey, and facilitate their smooth passage into the afterlife. Witches believe in the interconnectedness of all life, and through these rites, they aim to maintain that connection even in death.

The concept of the "veil between the worlds" is pivotal in witchcraft, and during funeral rites, this veil is believed to be at its thinnest. It is a time when the living can communicate with the dead, and vice versa. Witches often use tools such as candles, incense, and divination methods to facilitate this communication. The deceased's spirit is invited to share wisdom, guidance, and messages with the living, helping them navigate life's challenges and mysteries.

In the realm of witchcraft, funerals are not just about mourning and letting go but about honoring the deceased as a part of a greater cosmic tapestry. The deceased is seen as a teacher, a guide, and a source of ancestral wisdom. Their journey into the afterlife is respected as a sacred transition, and the funeral rites are designed to assist the spirit in moving gracefully into the next phase of existence.

Death, in witchcraft, is not the end but a beginning—a passage to a realm beyond human comprehension. The rites conducted during funerals are meant to ease this transition, ensure a peaceful journey, and maintain the connection between the living and the dead. The focus is on the eternal, the timeless, and the cyclical nature of existence, where death is a necessary and transformative phase.

Witchcraft, in its essence, is a practice deeply rooted in the mysteries of life, death, and the afterlife. It is a spiritual path that acknowledges the interconnectedness of all things and embraces the cycles of existence. The Dark Night of the Soul, death magic, and funeral rites in witchcraft are integral aspects of this ancient and intricate tradition. They are not about fear, morbidity, or malevolence, but about enlightenment, transformation, and a profound respect for the mysteries of life, death, and rebirth.

The Dark Night of the Soul, with its agonizing descent into the depths of one's being, mirrors the journey of the soul through the underworld, a realm of shadows and hidden truths. It is a process of shedding the illusions and attachments of the material world, much like shedding the mortal coil in death. In both cases, there is a profound sense of loss, but also the potential for rebirth and transformation.

In the world of death magic, the concept of the Dark Night of the Soul takes on a more literal meaning. Practitioners of death magic often seek to confront their deepest fears and insecurities, facing the darkness within themselves to emerge stronger and more attuned to the mysteries of death. This inner journey is seen as a preparation for the eventual transition into the afterlife, where the soul must navigate the unknown with courage and wisdom.

Funeral rites in witchcraft are a blend of reverence and celebration, a delicate balance between acknowledging the sorrow of loss and the joy of the soul's onward journey. These rites often involve the creation of sacred space, the invocation of protective spirits, and the use of symbols and incantations to guide the deceased safely to the other side. The ritual process is a testament to the belief that death is not an end but a continuation of the soul's journey.

Witches believe that the deceased continue to exist in another realm, and their spirits can provide guidance and protection to the living. Funerals serve as a bridge between the worlds, allowing for communication and the exchange of wisdom. It is a time for sharing stories, memories, and the collective knowledge of the community. In this way, death becomes a teacher, and the departed remain an integral part of the living's spiritual journey.

The concept of the "veil between the worlds" is central to funeral rites in witchcraft. During these ceremonies, the veil is believed to be at its thinnest, allowing for a more profound connection between the living and the dead. This is a time when messages, visions, and signs from the spirit world are more likely to manifest, providing solace and insight to those left behind.

Witchcraft's approach to death is a reminder that, in the grand tapestry of existence, no one is truly lost or forgotten. The deceased become ancestors, guardians, and guides for the living, their wisdom passed down through generations. Funerals in witchcraft are not about finality but about the eternal cycle of life, death, and rebirth. They are a testament to the belief that the spirit lives on, and that the mysteries of existence are infinite and interconnected.

The Dark Night of the Soul, death magic, and funeral rites in witchcraft are all intricate threads in the rich tapestry of this ancient spiritual tradition. They emphasize the transformative power of embracing darkness, the continuity of the soul's journey, and the interconnectedness of all life. In a world often marked by fear and avoidance of death, witchcraft offers a profound and elegant perspective on mortality, reminding us that death is not an end but a transition into the infinite. © Dʏsʜᴀɴᴋᴀ/Oᴅᴇᴛᴛᴇ ₂₀₂₃

I'd like to take a moment to clarify the essence of my blog and the perspective I bring to the fascinating world of witchcraft. This isn't about discouragement or disbelief but rather an exploration grounded in cognitive science and human behavior. Let's delve into the details.

1. A Unique Perspective:

My approach to witchcraft stems from a unique viewpoint rooted in cognitive science. I've found that understanding the human brain and behavior provides profound insights into the practices associated with witchcraft. This doesn't negate the diversity of beliefs but adds another layer to the conversation.

2. Sharing Insights, Not Discrediting:

The goal here is not to discredit or diminish anyone's beliefs. Instead, it's about sharing my insights and observations based on the intersection of psychology and the mystical. Every belief system is a rich tapestry, and my aim is to contribute a thread from the realm of cognitive understanding.

3. Navigating Diverse Beliefs:

Witchcraft is a vast and diverse landscape with various traditions, practices, and beliefs. My perspective is just one thread in this intricate tapestry. I encourage open-mindedness and respect for the multitude of ways people connect with and interpret the mystical.

4. Promoting Open Dialogue:

I believe in fostering open dialogue where diverse perspectives can coexist. By sharing my insights, I want to contribute to a broader conversation within the witchcraft community, encouraging exploration and discussion, with psychological explanations.

5. Explaining the Unexplained:

In the vast realm of witchcraft, spirituality, and mysticism, there are often experiences, occurrences, and signs that can be challenging to comprehend. I believe that providing psychological and cognitive explanations doesn't diminish the magic but rather enhances our understanding. It's about offering an alternative lens for those who may find solace in scientific perspectives. As someone who regularly navigates different realms due to DID and experiences fictophilia, I've found that the real or not, our internal worlds hold a profound significance. Your personal Eden, whether mystical or psychological, is a valid and powerful part of your existence.

In conclusion, my intention is not to discourage or disillusion but to offer a unique lens through which to explore the world of witchcraft. I'm excited to continue this journey of discovery with you all, delving into the mysteries while grounded in the fascinating world of cognitive science.

Super Blue Full Moon in Pisces Aug 30 General Tarot Reading for All Zodiac Signs

1 note · View note

thecuddlycauldron · 21 days

Text

Pick a card!

What can I do right now to let go of my tensions?

✩°｡🧸𓏲⋆.🧺𖦹 ₊˚ These are general readings, only take what resonates and leave the rest! These are only meant to be for fun and nothing else. Trust your intuition and don't overthink. If nothing resonates, feel free to move on. If you stay, I hope you enjoy what the cards have in store for you today! ✩°｡🧸𓏲⋆.🧺𖦹 ₊˚

🔪Card 1 (5 of swords)

The 5 of swords symbolizes conflict, tension, and feeling defeated. However, it also carries a message of learning from your experiences and finding ways to let go of the past. Acknowledge that tensions exist and accept them without judgment. Sometimes, simply recognizing that you're feeling anger or fear can help in the process of letting go, and understand that you cannot control everything. Engage in practices that help you stay present, such as meditation or mindfulness exercises. These can help quiet the mind and release tensions stored in the body. Instead of dwelling on past conflicts or worrying about the future, focus on the present moment, and remember to practice gratitude for what you have right now and find joy in simple pleasures.

🔪Card 2 (7 of pentacles)

The seven of pentacles represents patience, evaluation, and then reevaluation of one's efforts. Take a step back and reflect on your accomplishments and progress so far. Recognize that even small steps forward are valuable, and celebrate your achievements, no matter how minor they may seem. Understand that growth and success take time. Be patient with yourself and your circumstances, knowing that good things are unfolding in their own time. Take this opportunity to reassess your goals and priorities. Are you focusing your energy on what truly matters to you? Adjust your priorities if necessary to align them more closely with your values and aspirations. Avoid comparing your progress to that of others. Remember that everyone's journey is unique, and what matters most is staying true to yourself and your own path.

🔪Card 3 (Justice)

Justice represents balance, fairness, and accountability. Take a step back and objectively assess the situation that's causing you stress. Look at it from all angles to gain a clear understanding of what's happening and why you're feeling tense. Identify any areas of imbalance in your life that may be contributing to your tensions. Whether it's work-life balance, balancing your needs with the needs of others, or finding a balance between different priorities, strive to restore equilibrium where needed. If you have to, detach yourself emotionally from the outcome of the situation. While it's natural to have preferences and desires, becoming too emotionally invested can heighten tensions. Instead, focus on staying grounded and maintaining a sense of perspective.

Love, Willow

Witchy Herbs: Rosemary - Rosemarinus officinalis

This herb is also called dew of the sea, herb of remembrance, or elf leaf. It has masculine energies, connects with the element of fire, and is ruled by the Sun. It honors the fae, Hebe, Aphrodite, and the Virgin Mary. Zodiac sign; Leo.

You can use this herb to create a tonic that you can topically apply to your skin. You can also use this to rinse your hair to experience less itching with your scalp and have shinier dark hair. If you have a headache, you can have some rosemary tea to bring you relief.

In spells, this herb is for healing, health, wisdom, making your memory better, protection, love, lust, exorcism, purification, and sleep.

When burned, emits powerful cleansing and purifying vibrations, and so is smoldered to rid a place of negativity, especially prior to performing magic. It is one of the oldest incenses.

Rosemary can remove jealousy. If you feel jealous about something, light a dried sprig of rosemary and as you watch the flames consume the sprig, visualize how your jealous energy is being consumed and transformed into positive energy by the flames.

When placed beneath the pillow rosemary ensures a good sleep and drives away nightmares. Laid under the bed it protects the sleeper from all harm.

Rosemary is also hung on the porch and doorposts to keep thieves from the house and is carried to remain healthy.

Placed in the bath it purifies.

Rosemary has long been used in love and lust incenses and other mixtures.

Healing poppets are stuffed with rosemary to take advantage of its curative vibrations. Rosemary infusion is used to wash the hands before healing work, and the leaves mixed with juniper berries are burned in sickrooms to promote healing.

Rub the oil into yellow candles and light on a Thursday to improve your study habits and grades.

If you wish to receive knowledge or the answer to a question, burn rosemary on charcoal and smell its smoke.

Rosemary is also grown to attract the Fae.

Use rosemary if you need to substitute frankincense or any herb that you are missing.

Setting Up Your Magical Space: Tips for Creating an Altar

🕯️🌿✨

Your magical journey begins with creating a sacred space—an altar that serves as a focal point for your intentions, spells, and connection with the divine. Whether you're a seasoned witch or just starting, setting up your magical space is an enchanting and personal process that reflects your unique path.

In this blog post, I'll share some valuable tips to guide you as you embark on the magical adventure of creating your very own altar.

🌟✨

Follow Your Intuition 🌌🔮

There's no right or wrong way to create an altar; trust your intuition and let your heart guide you. You can choose a dedicated table or a simple shelf—anything that resonates with you and feels like a sacred space where you can connect with your craft.

Select Meaningful Items 🌙💎

Your altar is a reflection of your spiritual journey. Choose items that hold personal significance and symbolize the energies you wish to invoke. Crystals, candles, herbs, deity statues, tarot cards, or any other magical tools can find a place on your altar.

Work with the Elements 🌊🔥💨🌍

Incorporate the four elements—earth, air, fire, and water—into your altar. Represent each element with items that embody their essence, such as a small bowl of water, a feather or incense for air, a candle for fire, and crystals or a potted plant for earth.

Keep it Clean and Tidy 🧹🌸

Maintain your altar space with love and care. Regularly cleanse and dust the area, ensuring that it remains a clean and sacred space for your practice. A clean altar invites positive energies and enhances your focus during rituals.

Recharge and Rearrange 🌈🔍

Your spiritual journey is ever-evolving, and so should your altar. Don't be afraid to rearrange items or add new ones as you grow and discover new aspects of your craft. Periodically recharge your altar with fresh energies and intentions.

🌟✨

Your altar is a canvas upon which you paint the colors of your magic. It's a place of empowerment, healing, and divine connection. Take the time to set up your magical space with intention and love, for it will be a sanctuary that nurtures and supports you on your spiritual path.

May your altar be a beacon of light, a wellspring of energy, and a reflection of the beautiful soul that dances in the realm of magic.

🕯️🌿✨

Working with Full Moon Energy: Harnessing the Power of Lunar Cycles

Shaina Tranquilino

August 9, 2023

The full moon has captivated humanity for centuries, inspiring folklore, rituals, and even werewolf legends. But beyond its mystical allure, the full moon holds potent energy that can be harnessed to enhance our lives and deepen our spiritual practices.

In many cultures and spiritual traditions, the moon is seen as a symbol of femininity, intuition, and emotional well-being. As it reaches its peak illumination during the full moon phase, this celestial body is believed to amplify these qualities within us. By aligning ourselves with the natural rhythms of the lunar cycle, we can tap into this energetic force and manifest positive change in our lives.

Here are some tips to help you work with full moon energy:

1. Set Intentions: The full moon is an ideal time to set intentions for what you want to manifest in your life. Take some quiet moments to reflect on your goals and desires. Write them down on a piece of paper or create a vision board. Visualize yourself already living these intentions with joy and gratitude.

2. Release & Let Go: Just as the moon shines brightly in the night sky, illuminating everything in its path, it also has the power to illuminate what no longer serves us. Use this time to release any negative energy or limiting beliefs that are holding you back from reaching your fullest potential. Write down anything you wish to let go of or forgive and then burn or bury it as a symbolic gesture of releasing those burdens.

3. Perform Rituals: Engaging in rituals during the full moon helps to channel its energy more effectively. This could include lighting candles, meditating under its glow, or creating an altar dedicated to lunar energies. Incorporate crystals like selenite or moonstone into your practice, as they are believed to enhance lunar connection and intuition.

4. Connect with Nature: During the full moon phase, spend time in nature and allow yourself to be fully present. Take a moonlit walk, sit by a body of water, or simply gaze at the moon from your window. Connecting with the natural world during this time can heighten our awareness and deepen our connection to the lunar energy.

5. Practice Gratitude: Expressing gratitude is a powerful way to align ourselves with the positive energies of the universe. Use the full moon as an opportunity to reflect on what you are grateful for in your life. Write them down in a gratitude journal, share them with loved ones, or offer them up in prayer or meditation.

6. Embrace Your Intuition: The full moon is known to enhance our intuition and psychic abilities. Pay attention to your dreams, hunches, and gut feelings during this time. Trust your inner guidance and follow its whispers. Engaging in practices such as card reading or scrying can also help tap into these intuitive energies.

Remember that working with full moon energy is about intentionality and mindfulness. As we align ourselves with the cycles of nature, we become more attuned to our own inner rhythms and desires. By harnessing the power of the full moon, we have the opportunity to manifest positive change in our lives and nurture our spiritual growth.

As always, approach these practices with an open heart and mind, allowing yourself to explore and discover what resonates best for you personally. May the full moon's radiant energy illuminate your path towards self-discovery, manifestation, and transformation!

SOLSTICE WISDOM!

It's that time again where I, your sweary witch aunt, come outside, light a fire and tell you it's all going to be ok. If this has worked its way to your dash, this message is for you.

I've drawn two cards for you tonight, this one from my mermaid deck.

And it is telling you that no matter how hopeless your situation might feel right now, you always have options. But sometimes that includes asking for (and accepting) help.

I know it's hard, but people wouldn't offer their help if they didn't mean it. People are dicks and they won't do anything for anyone unless they want to, so stop being so fucking stubborn! Think of it the other way around, if your friend had troubles and you offered to help you'd mean it and you wouldn't think any less of them for needing it or accepting it, so you shouldn't either.

It's the longest day, after today the nights will start drawing in and with it the motivation to get off your ass and do something, so do it now. Any changes you need to make, and you freaking KNOW that you need to make some, should be done now. This is the ideal time. This is your sign.

You don't have to make a decision right now, but you can explore your options and see what appeals to you the most. This can be with work, relationships, friendships or even just the food you eat. If you're stuck in a rut or something isn't working for you, change it!

Which brings me to my second card from the rebel deck.

How can you expect to get anywhere if you keep going over the same shit day in and day out? Aren't you pissing yourself off yet?

Sure, it's good to complain now and then, to have a little rant and to bitch about things, it's cathartic and it helps you sort your head out. But here's the thing sweetie, if all you're doing is bitching but making zero effort to change anything, then that's on you.

I know it's hard, it's so freaking hard to take that plunge and to make changes. It's scary. It's new. It's different and it's unknown. I get all that. But it's STILL gotta be done!

Babe, if you are going to your friends to whine and complain and they are going out of their way to try to help, to give you advice that you know is sound, don't ignore them. Don't nod and agree and say you're going to do it and then do nothing of the sort. That's wasting their time and energy as well as yours and you might find that, when you really need someone, they will be sick of you. And you'll have no one to blame but yourself.

I'm not saying this to be mean, I say this with love, it's time to sort yourself out. Get your act together because no one can sort your life out but you.

You are stronger than you could ever imagine, and it's time to prove this to yourself and the rest of the world. Stop being a push over, stop being everyone's slave and stand up for yourself.

Because you are awesome and you deserve it.

Blessed be my darlings.
