🎆 ENERGY OF THE STARS🎆

So, have you ever heard of grounding? If you did, then you’re gonna undertand this whole thing. It’s pretty simple.

• At night, lay down on the ground of your yard or any place where you can look at the sky ( choose one night that you can see a lot of stars )

• You’re gonna watch the sky. Notice the different colors, the stars, look at the moon. Watch it like it’s your favorite movie. Feel it. Recognize the feelings that it makes you feel. Happiness? Freedom? Fear? Feel it and accept it.

• Close your eyes and keep the image of the sky, the stars. Try to remember every detail.

• Now, imagine you living your body, imagine you’re the wind and you’re going to the sky.

• Once you’re there, imagine you’re a star but you’re still with no light.

• Now, imagine lines of white light living you and connecting to the next star. Feel you connecting with all the stars and all of you suddently shinning. You’re all connected now.

• Watch as the other stars send you a bright light and feel your body glowing more and more. Once you’re feeling full of energy, thanks the stars and the universe and slowly open your eyes.

• It’s done.

WITCH TIP Did you know that Ikea sells a cosmetics-scented candle?! It’s called “Lugga” and it’s only three dollars too! Talk about the perfect candle for glamour witchcraft and/or dedications to Aphrodite! I think it’s great to light it in your bathroom or on your vanity before you start your morning makeup/skin care routine to set the mood. And as for the smell? I don’t know how else to describe it, other than it just smells like beauty and romance. It’s just so lovely!

The Pisces Feet

Those enchanted Pisces feet walk through the footprints of every sign, absorbing their cosmic colours and shine. In acupuncture, the points of the feet respond to every part of the body. This is the same way you can access the whole divine, archetypal and spiritual masterpiece through Pisces. They are the feet of Jesus, those that walked on water, lent down to wash the feet of the poor, and became wiped in the perfume of Mary’s hair, filling the room of the fragrance of heaven. Those blistered feet, those that walk upon the clouds of creation, symbolize the Piscean’s humility, servitude, and work with the most abused, broken, and forgotten residents of the world. Upon those feet the weight of the cosmos is held, as they do the quiet labor of God. Upon those feet they dance through the universe on mutable fluid glow, and they can become mermaid tails as they immerse deep beneath the ocean. The feet symbolize their longing to wander through temples and treasured lands, admiring the divine work and searching for home. It may also elude to the individual’s lack of grounding or practical focus. Responsibilities and reality can be neglected for fantasy. Life may become directionless, and the personality unsteady and unstable. Solidifying the personality, bringing focus to the body and its role as a co-creator of the universe, and immersing body with soul, can bring those feet down to the ground. Webbed with constellations and threads of every sign, you can only walk with them once upon a dream.

-Cherry
