My favorite is scent is from a tea place that I used to go to all the time. My favorite tea was called "Angel's Dream". It reminds me of my girlfriend. Thank you for asking :)
This is so magical and sweet 💕 it reminded me just how much I want to go to Peggy Porschen in London look it up, it’s like the most aesthetically pleasing place 😭 I want to go on a date there and have afternoon tea wearing a white or pastel pink skater dress with lace, PLEASE
THIS. IS. IT. someone please take me here. It’s me in the form of an afternoon tea and cake place 😭💕it’s so magical
OMG I WANT TO GO😭😭
Grounding is a great technique when you feel that anxiety and panic coming on. When you are ruminating about the past or worrying about the future. If you feel disconnected from the world around you. It can help you stay in the moment
my fave
I love Little Witch Academia <3
It’s so darling! I don’t know why I waited so long to watch it 💕

Kindness is often mistaken for softness and let me tell you, friends….that is a mistake you don’t want to make.
Kind people are not born that way, they do not stumble into it, kind people are forged in fire and darkness and imploding stars…they have steel cores. Throw a punch and you’re going to break your hand.
Kind people are kind because they know firsthand that life isn’t.

university/college witch tips
☕️ brew a cup of tea in between, after, and/or before classes. use herbs according to certain correspondences(I personally use lavender & chamomile after class, rosemary & mugwort before or in between if I have enough time). stir in sugar with intention. pour in a thermos if you’re on the go.
☀️ wake up 20 minutes early and meditate. set intentions or goals for the day, say your prayers, give thanks to the universe or to your deity, focus on your chakras. whatever feels right and simple, make it a part of your morning. [alternative: if you have 20 minutes in between classes this can really help you unwind before your next class]
🎧 instead of listening to your regular music, find something spiritually enriching to listen to when you have a moment. there’s plenty of wonderful spirits on youtube, instagram, etc. that speak to me on a daily. listen to an astrology forecast, a tarot reading, info on certain gods or deities, other witches and their practice, anything that resonates with you. [alternative: find witchy playlists on spotify, tumblr, or 8tracks* ]
📔 combine your practice with your planner. jot down the astrological influences of each week/day. track your tea intake. record pre-planned workings/spellwork/rituals/etc. dedicate a spread to your intentions each Moon cycle, at the end of the cycle cross off everything that manifested, migrate the remaining intentions to the next spread. this is a great pastime when you’re bored in class
♥️ shuffle your tarot/Oracle/etc. cards in class. take them with you throughout the day, let them experience what you do. at the end of the day ask them for their thoughts, or any other thing you feel. make sure to cleanse your deck however you prefer after a long day, your cards will absorb all the energy around you and it may lead to them acting wonky
🖊 draw sigils to help you study and prepare for tests. if you’re struggling with lateness, come up with a sigil to help you be more time efficient. if you suck at homework, write a symbol for wisdom or focus on yourself before you start doing it. sigils are an urban witches best friend
💸 to save money, diy items for your altar. if you live on a college campus, there’s plenty of places where people give away unwanted items either or free or really cheap. get them, if they resonate. paint them, sculpt around them, whatever. then put it on your altar
*I have a bunch of songs that I can put together in tailored playlists if anyone wants
Fronts the Signs Put Up
Aries: Agression - Arians are bold and strong but not naturally aggressive in the sense that most think. As the children of the Zodiac they can struggle to express themselves and view emotions in a somewhat immature way. They feel that revealing the soft, loving, delicate part of them that hopes and dreams in ways that no other Sign could ever is a weakness, so they cover it up with a mask of aggression.
Taurus: Confidence - Taureans can seem like the most put-together, strong, and intelligent individuals of the Zodiac but deep down they are afraid. They don’t feel secure emotionally so they put up a front of being above such feelings and are typically materialistic - objects won’t let them down or turn them away, people do. When they feel weak, alone and they need something to rely on, they fake it till they make it.
Gemini: Know-it-all - Geminis have a lot of information swirling around in their heads and they are very intelligent. But they can use this intelligence as a mask. They act like they know it all, as if their knowledge makes them better, because at times they feel like that’s all they have. And if they have nothing to offer, no one will listen to them, no one will talk to them or value them.
Cancer: Sensuality - Soft Cancerians, so desperate for love, will use their sexuality as a method of receiving attention, to make up for feeling unloved, or because their gentler, romantic view of love is not always viewed favorably by today’s society. They need love and true connections which can be stunted by the harsh world around them and lead to this coping method or front.
Leo: Pride - We all know about a Lion’s pride but very few realize why Leos put up this front. In short, it’s because they are insecure. They boast and seek to control the world around them because on the inside they are in fact self-conscious. The next time a Leo seems too abrasive or pushy cut them some slack, they are doing what they can to feel secure.
Virgo: Dependability - Virgos are dependable, don’t get me wrong, but they try very hard to be. Their biggest fear is to be useless. When they are being your shoulder to lean on, in a strange way they are leaning right back on you. They need to help others, or at least be needed by them, to feel worth something. Though they may see so stable all on their own, they truly need others but they aren’t always ready to admit it.
Libra: Perfection - Librans feel they must be perfect at all times, they allow themselves no room for error, all because they care so deeply about what others think of them. They must meet the approval of others, this is their greatest desire, so they seek to appear as perfect as possible whether perfection to them is top grades and a clean appearance or appearing as if they don’t care and are above it all. In reality they are just like the rest of us behind that mask.
Scorpio: Cynicism - Scorpios are not cynical and dark to their core, they are simply afraid to hope. They know the dark inner workings of the mind and society, so love and success can seem like a mere fantasy to them no matter how desperately they want it. Pessimism becomes a shield protecting them from being let down or worse. No matter how distant they may seem, on the inside they are still hoping.
Sagittarius: Independence - To Sagittarius, independence is perhaps the most important thing in their world so when they are in need, instead of seeking out support or someone to lean on, they pretend to need no one. Despite being social creatures who seek to communicate and learn from those around them, they can’t admit that they need someone to come home to at the end of the day, making them sometimes appear hot and cold to others. Instead of seeking out what they need, they put up a front.
Capricorn: Seriousness - Capricorns are ruled by severe Saturn so it only makes sense that they work so hard to seem strong and mature, but this is only another front. On the inside they are trapped children who often didn’t have a proper childhood - sometimes this is simply because they themselves expect too much. If you give them the chance they’ll show you just how awkward, loud, and immature they really are.
Aquarius: Intimacy - Aquarians have a complicated relationship with society. They have a lot of friends and are very social but no matter how outgoing and intimate they may seem they are truly closed off. They want to be social and popular but at the same time they are afraid to grow close to another person, to open up and share their emotions. They fear that they will always be outside looking in yet they also fear what might happen if they truly let go. So they get as close as they can and hide their fear behind a mask.
Pisces: Lightheartedness - That Pisces that always seems to be in their own little world, who giggles and never seems to take things seriously? They are burdened by thoughts and feelings beyond what your average person experiences let alone handles. Their lighthearted, unsophisticated behavior is all a front in hopes of lessening that burden. If you were haunted, would you be strong enough to bear that smiling mask?

Adding a cut for people who already have fallen prey to the hoard of crystals and don’t need to read on:

And one on why not the arkenstone

ideas about sigils
creating a sigil
traditionally, take out vowels and repeating consonants, and shape the remaining letters in an artistic way to create a symbol
“swipe” keyboard shapes of the word or phrase are pretty too
cursive versions of letters are pretty too
other alphabets are pretty too
use a sigil wheel to create shapes
charging a sigil
🔥 with fire 🔥
burn it (and place in chalice or cauldron) - you can use these ashes creatively as well!
carve it into a candle and let it all melt away
draw it on a firework and set it off
⛰️ with earth ⛰️
bury it and let it decompose (make sure it is biodegradable!!!)
draw it in dirt somewhere it will be worn away
carve it into bark or draw it on a stone (be nice to earth, I’d recommend doing this to loose bark, trees/stones you “own” like potted plants or trees in your yard, or dead trees… use good sense!)
draw it somewhere with salt
🌊 with water 🌊
write on body in eyeliner or other makeup before bathing
carve it into a soap bar and bathe with it
draw it on something that will dissolve and dissolve it
draw on a tea bag (with something edible like honey or edible ink), steep it, and drink the tea
🌀 with air 🌀
wave it through incense
draw it on a balloon, blow it up, and pop it
draw it on a kite and fly it
✨ other neat ways ✨
use it while cooking - oil on a pan, stirring a spoon in a pot, adding sauce, pouring honey into tea, etc.
write it on a piece of paper with invisible ink or a white crayon
paint it with glow in the dark paint
paint it on an empty canvas before painting something else on top
place it in a music box, wind it, and let the music charge it
paint on nails before painting them with nail polish
place in sun or moonlight
draw on a foggy mirror
use it as a background on phone/computer and leave it up while charging the device
focus on it while orgasming
focus on it while experience pain or another extreme emotion
add a drop of blood to the sigil
Beauty Bath
Ingredients:
Red rose petals.
Sea salt (bath soak).
Rose Quartz crystals.
Lavender buds or two drops of essential oil.
Rhodochrosite crystals, can be placed in or around the bath.
Pink and white candles (placed around the bath).
When in the bath, visualise a warm and loving soft pink light rising from all the flowers and being drawn from the candles and crystals, towards your aura. Bathe in this spiritual light and bask in its positivity in order to receive a confidence boost and add a romantic glamour to yourself.
Optional:
Self love or love sigils on the candles.
If your bath is near a window, bathe during the night and allow the moonlight to shine into the water in order to receive divine feminine energy.
Glitter (to add an extra punch to the the glamour, and *make sure it is body safe glitter).
Say affirmations such as “I am beautiful in mind, body and spirit” or “I now see myself in a beautiful light” - if possible say these as gazing into a mirror and kissing it before placing it away.
