Got any fun jellyfish facts???
1. Jellyfish have been on earth for hundreds of millions of years and there are over 2,000 known species!
2. They aren't actually fish! In fact, scientists are starting to refer to them as sea jellies to try and clear up that misunderstanding.
3. They're 95% water; without a heart, blood, or brain, there isn't much left. In fact, if a jellyfish gets beached most of it evaporates.
4. There are a few different ways that a group of jellyfish can be referred to: blooms, swarms, or smacks.
5. Jellyfish are edible! Well, most of them are. In fact, jellyfish are an incredibly sustainable food source that we just haven't really utilized.
Here are some of my more specific jellyfish posts:

Days of the Week - Correspondants🌙
SUNDAY
In Roman culture, Sunday was the day of the sun God. In paganism, the sun was seen as the source of life, which was popular with the Romans when they were preying. Sunday is therefore linked with the colours yellow and gold. The name originates with the sun due to Hellenistic astrology, where the seven planets including Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Mercury, Venus and the Moon each had an hour of the day. Furthermore, the planet which was associated with each hour of the day was given a day of the week, which became apparent in the 1st-2nd century in Rome and Egypt. Sunday is also linked to deities associated with the sun, such as Helios and Ra. Based on this information, Sunday is associated with success, material wealth, fame, personal growth and healing.
MONDAY
Monday is associated with the lunar deities such as Khonsu (Egypt) and Artemis (Greek). In religions such as Islam, Monday is one of the two days of fasting, the other being Thursday. Culturally, Monday is depicted as a day of depression, anxiety and melancholy as it marks the beginning of the working week. Therefore, Monday is depicted as a quiet day, which would correspond to elements of self-care, rejuvenation and cleansing. I’d also associate Monday to be a day to do spells associated with attracting wealth, abundance and luck within the career, due to it being the start of the typical 5-day working week.
TUESDAY
Tuesday is known as the day of Mars. The name originates from Tyr, a God from old Norse mythology who loses his arm to Fenrir. He was associated with being the god of War and being the Lawgiver of the gods. In Japanese and Korean, Tuesday translates to ‘Mars day’. In Greek and Spanish-speaking countries, some people believe Tuesday to be unlucky due to Tyr being associated with war and death. Therefore, rather than having Friday the 13th being unlucky, the 13th of the month falling on a Tuesday in certain places would be classed as unlucky. Therefore, the correspondents I feel that are associated with Tuesday are protection, warding, building mind and body strength, confidence, victory and aggression.
WEDNESDAY
Wednesday reflects the Germanic god Wōden (‘Odin’), and is associated with the planet/ god Mercury. Mercury and Wōden were associated together as both were the guides of souls after death. In Ancient Greece, Hermes was also associated with Wednesday, as he was a conductor of the dead for Hades. In the story of creation, the Sun and the Moon were both created on the “fourth day”, which is known as Wednesday. Wednesday is associated with intelligence, fortune, chance, creativity, wisdom, study, knowledge, communication and calming.
THURSDAY
Thursday is derived from the old Norse god Thor, known as the God of thunder. The Roman god Jupiter was also associated with Thursdays, as both Thor and Jupiter were gods of the sky and thunder. Jupiter was also king of the gods. In Buddhism, especially in Thailand, Thursday is known as ‘teacher’s day’ where education should begin on a Thursday. Thursdays are typically associated with abundance, grounding, health, wealth, authority, justice, anger and fortune
FRIDAY
Friday is linked to the Roman goddess Venus, who encompasses love, sex, desire, fertility and victory. Furthermore, Friday is also linked to the Germanic goddess Frigg, or Freyja based on the translation from some Slavic countries. Frigg was the goddess of fertility and motherhood, whilst Freyja was associated with love, beauty, fertility, sex, gold and war. Folklore depicts Friday as an unlucky day, yet some believe it is a day of good fortune and prosperity due to people sowing seeds on Fridays - it resembles the life that comes after death similarly to how Jesus was resurrected from the tomb after his crucifixion. This day is therefore associated with all forms of love, fertility, beauty, glamour, romance, sex, sexuality, divination, wisdom and youth.
SATURDAY
Saturday was known as Saturn’s day. There is no Norse god associated with Saturday due to the replacement of the eight day cycle with the seven day week. Saturdays in the Eastern Orthodox are dedicated to worshipping Theotokos, which refers to Mary being the ‘god-bearer.’ Prayers of the dead are usually associated with this day as a remembrance to the rising of Jesus. In Scandinavian countries, Saturday is called Lördag, which is derived from the Viking word for bath - Vikings would typically bathe on Saturdays. In some Islamic countries, Saturday marks the start of the week, whereas in others it marks the end. Therefore, Saturday could correspond to necromancy, divination, death, exorcism, spirituality, endings, self-discipline, freedom, banishing, hexing, protection, binding and loss
I love autumn. Its nice and cold but sunny. And collecting fallen leaves is so much fun. I don't know yet what i will use them for
💎Crystals 101💎
One of my favorite things to talk about (and shop for) is crystals. I know a lot of people are skeptical about them. I hear “ ThEy ArE jUsT rOcKs” a lot😆 Well they are so much more than that! I wanted to touch on some of the science on how they work in regards to healing and their metaphysical use.
So everything, living and non living, is made up of matter. Matter is 99.99% empty space! What makes up this empty space? ENERGY! This means that everything has an energetic frequency that is given off.
As living beings our frequency and vibration is always up and down due to many factors. The higher your vibration is, the happier and healthier you are. I don't want to get into that too much now though as that will be another post of its own. Now, because crystals are nonliving and made up of set, geometric patterns of molecules, they vibrate at a constant level, unlike us.The more stable a crystal's energy is, the more powerful the vibration is that it gives off.
Basic chakra knowledge is a helpful place to start if you're new to crystals. Some basic ones I would recommend are:
-Quartz - it's considered the universal crystal, you can use it for anything! It can be used as an amplifier when paired with other gems
-Rose quartz - great for self-love and attracting love to you, if you're feeling down this is a good one to carry with you
-Amethyst - great for use when meditating, helps increase your consciousness and has a very high vibration
-Black tourmaline - repels negativity, great for empaths, helps keep you grounded
To get the best use out of a crystal, focus your intent of what you want the gem to do for you. Intent is an extremely powerful thing and when it is paired with a crystal it will strengthen your thoughts and positive energy. They are super easy to use. If you need help picking one out for a specific use or want to share your favorites, feel free to comment below!
My last week was crazy chaotic and i was feeling down. But then last night i saw one of the most beautiful shooting stars i have seen in my live and somehow i knew things are going to get better.
How to Close a Reading, as My Grandma Taught Me
“Interpreting the last card does not mean you are done. You have ten more things to do before the reading is through.”
1. Count the major arcana.
The more there are, the stronger the reading’s predictions will impact the querent’s life. If there are none or just one, almost none of it will matter in the long run.
2. Note the sequence of the major arcana.
If the querent is asking about someone, and the major arcana are between 0 and 16, that person is not meant to stay in their life. If the question is about a dream or an opportunity, and the cards fall between 17 and 21, it will manifest completely.
3. Count the cards from each suit.
The presence of all suits predicts a balanced outcome. More Wands means strong passion. More Swords means anxiety or manipulation. More Cups means the heart is running the show. More Pentacles means wealth is about to diminish or grow.
4. Mind the aces and the tens.
Two or more aces means the situation is only just beginning. Two or more tens means it is now coming to a good or bad ending.
5. Note the multiples between two and nine.
Twos mean clever thinking is of paramount importance. Threes speak of infidelity or the need for cooperation. Fours guarantee stability, just as sixes do harmony. Fives and sevens spell difficult challenges, but eights and nines promise that the labor is almost over.
6. Regard the ruling colors.
A dominant black predicts burdens and hindrances. Red and yellow combined ensure passion, clarity and manifestation. Blue and white together advise that the solution can be found through spirituality and intuition.
7. Count the court cards.
Nine times out of ten, court cards are people, not influences. They are doing the manipulation or they need to be manipulated.
8. Notice the suits of the courts.
Wands and Swords are friendly. So are Cups and Pentacles. Any other combination spells rivalry and obstacles.
9. Watch where the cards are facing.
“Is the woman in The World looking at The Tower? A tragedy has to occur before success can take over. Is the King of Cups facing away from his Queen? Their relationship is suffering. His love for her has begun fading.”
10. Look at the bottom of the deck.
If the outcome is good, embodying this energy will make it even better. If the outcome is bad, this is the hidden connection that needs to be severed.
