ASTRO SYMBOLISM I ⋆˚꩜｡

.✦ ݁˖ you probably heard before that whenever you feel like you wanna lock in or focus, or even when you’re overwhelmed by your surroundings, you need to tie your hair to lock your energy!, and if you feel insecure or anxious, let your hair out for protection.

All this leads to the fact that hair = protection, but have you ever wondered why?.

.✦ ݁˖ Saturn rules the hair surprise not so surprise, which also rules protection, and the more you let it grow the more protection you have.. on the other hand saturn traditionally also rules endings, that’s why stereotypically after going through a breakup (you end up cutting your hair) this transition, is like an ending and a beginning at the same time.

.✦ ݁˖ which brings me to the point that if you wanna transition into something new or feel refreshed, cut something (mars and Aries rules cutting in general, and mars rules cutting instruments, scissors are also ruled by mars).

.✦ ݁˖ lastly I also find it very poetic that saturn rules ink, and ink is something that is lasting and can’t get erased easily.

So hi! this will be a new series where i post some astrology symbolisms that caught my attention <3.

[wishful-seeker]

When I give my ancestors/deities offerings like flowers, herbs, or food, after I feel like they've used them I still use them myself. I eat the food, I use the herbs and flowers in magic. I like to think they become blessed items. Ik some people are very against eating/using offerings but can we normalize practice being different for everyone? My spirits are okay with me doing this, it's our way of connecting to another. I think of it like they're trees. I give trees CO2 and they give me oxygen. Our relationship is mutually beneficial, we are a system of caring for each other.

[clownboybebop]

if you’re ever in the position to choose between giving up and accepting defeat, and actually trying to fight the ancient unkillable god that is about to peel apart reality like a string cheese, remember this: scientifically speaking, you might as well give it a shot!

1.there were trees at the beginning of the world! there were trees so long ago that they predate bacteria that causes wood to decay. when a tree fell, it would lie there in stasis and there wasn’t any way of breaking down wood xylem on a molecular level in that way.

2. it seems obvious to say, but wood eating bacteria are literally incapable of comprehending what they’re breaking down. It’s just not information conciously available to a microorganism. they don’t know what they’re deconstructing, where it came from, bacteria have no way to even fathom the existence of a tree as a concept.

3. Regardless of the facts above, the world we live in today is a world where wood inevitably decomposes

it is worth fighting the unkillable god no matter how pointless it seems. it is worth taking the risk even though youre trying to accomplish something impossible. the reality in which you live was also once reality in which trees didn’t rot. You live in a reality that allows for existence before the possibility of destruction. you live in a reality where uncomprehending microbes break down matter that is so far beyond the scope of their comprehension that it feels comical to specify something so obvious. you live in a reality that occasionally allows unshakeable physical truths to be altered with no warning.

It is worth fighting the unkillable god because trees are so old they predate the source of their destruction, and it still did not spare them. It is worth fighting the unkillable god because bacteria rots unthinkingly, because there is room in our cosmos for destruction without comprehension on the part of the destroyer. It is worth fighting the unkillable god because now and then reality retracts the promise of immortality without fanfare, and when that happens there is no mercy for the ancient. the unmaking is not softer for the desecrators ignorance. for all things, existence is endless until the exact point where it ends.

so you might as well try to kill the unkillable god. it doesn’t seem likely, but at the beginning of the world, trees didn’t rot. so you never know! you never know

[kyraneko]

fight the unkillable god, because you may be mistaken about its unkillability.

fight the unkillable god, because you may be the first bacterium to take a successful bite.

fight the unkillable god, so as to set foot onto the path which leads to the god being killable.

the bacteria that couldn't eat the tree and the bacteria that could eat the tree had the same general understanding of the tree.

might as well take a bite.

Some effects of crystals that I've observed personally

About me | Masterpost

These are all personal observations that I want to share. Take them with a huge grain of salt and always remember, seek professional help for your health and legal matters.

I usually place a Lapis Lazuli or a Apatite stone next to the reading I'm doing for mental clarity & better word flow.

I was having a coughing fit during the night and when I held a Lapis Lazuli stone in my palms, the coughing stopped. 😮

Placing Moonstone or Tiger's eye stones next to my pillow helped me sleep better.

Wearing or having a Moonstone near the body during your period can intensify the pain. On the other hand, a Carnelian stone helped with the pain.

Moonstone is pretty good for travelling, I always wear a Moonstone bracelet whenever I travel long distance.

I once made a circular array of Amethyst, Labradorite and Moonstone and placed it next to my pillow. Couldn't get a wink of sleep till dawn, sometimes when I drifted a little, I felt the strangest sensation in my body and my mind, like I was tripping or something. 😂 The closest I could describe that feeling is like peeling an orange to reveal the inner fruit. I felt the expansion, like I was the universe but also inside it.

Tell a person to pick a stone that can represent them the most or just let them pick a stone that they like, chances are they will pick the stone that relates to their astrological placements, even without the knowledge about astrology or crystal. I saw a lot of Libra or heavy Libra influenced picked Rose Quartz (the stone I use for Venus), Aquarius picked Aquamarine (the stone I use for Uranus) or other blue colour stones, Scorpio picked Tiger's eye (the stone I use for Pluto)

If you feel drawn to a particular crystal, you can search its general meaning to learn about what you're needing at the moment, like mental clarity, peace, affection etc.

A lot of people instinctively picked Carnelian when they're feeling lost, confused about themselves and their path, lacking confidence or physically unwell. Its warm colour seemed to revitalise them.

A combo of Citrine, Rose quartz and Aventurine is quite soothing, it gives a soft and safe feeling.

I will update this post when there are more effects I can observe in the future.

2. The Threshold Protection Stand in a doorway. Place a hand on each side of the frame. Say: "This is the boundary. Only what serves me crosses this line." Step through with intention.

3. The Mirror Visualization Close your eyes. Imagine you're covered in tiny mirrors facing outward. Any negativity bounces off and returns to sender. Use when dealing with gossip or jealousy.

4. The Grounding Breath Count Breathe in for 4, hold for 4, breathe out for 4, hold for 4. Repeat 3 times. Imagine roots growing from your feet into the earth. Use for anxiety.

do you ever think about how if you dive into the ocean and go deeper and deeper you will pass through layers of darker and darker blue until everything is black and cold and the pressure will be so intense that it will kill you without protection but if you keep going you will find little glowing specks of light, and if you go up into the sky and go higher and higher you will pass through layers of darker and darker blue until everything is black and cold and the pressure will be so intense that it will kill you without protection but if you keep going you will find little glowing specks of light

The Flower In The Hedge - A Baneful Protection Spell

Then the maiden and her dear Roland took again their natural shapes, and traveled on the whole night through until daybreak. Then the maiden changed herself into a beautiful flower, standing in the middle of a hedge of thorns, and her dear Roland into a fiddle-player. It was not long before the witch came striding up, and she said to the musician, "Dear musician, will you be so kind as to reach that pretty flower for me?” "Oh yes," said he, "I will strike up a tune to it." Then as she crept quickly up to the hedge to break off the flower, for she knew well who it was, he began to play, and whether she liked it or not, she was obliged to dance, for there was magic in the tune. The faster he played, the higher she had to jump, and the thorns tore her clothes, and scratched and wounded her, and he did not cease playing until she was spent, and lay dead.

-Sweetheart Roland, Grimm's Complete Fairy Tales

Intent: To protect yourself or a loved one from someone who means to do you harm.

Ideal Timing: Waning Moon

Materials:

Jar with Screw-top Lid

Pins, Needles, & Tacks

Palmful of Salt*

Poppet

To begin with, yes, this is a spell of protection. And yes, it is also a baneful spell. Two things can be true, and they are not incongruous. This particular model is a target-triggered spell, meaning that the effect of the spell will not activate unless the target of the spell completes a designated action. Thus, the activation of the spell is the consequence of their own actions.

Take your poppet and stuff the material focus, if there is one, into the chest cavity. If a focus is not available, you can use a name slip or name the poppet thus:

Poppet, I name you [Name]. Your limbs are their limbs, your flesh is their flesh. As you suffer, so shall they suffer, according to my will.

If the target is an unknown person, the poppet can be named Danger or Threat, but this spell generally works best with a proper name. You can also specify the actions which will trigger the activation of the spell, as well as the consequences that will arise when it does, or the harm to be undone by the spell.

In the jar, combine half of the pins with the salt.* Put the poppet inside on top of the pins, then pour the rest of the pins on top to form a loose cage. Whisper into the jar:

On your feet, it's time to dance; With the music, jump and prance.

Cap the jar and seal the lid tightly. Select a song with a good dancing beat and shake the jar to the beat for as long as you can. If you can make it through the whole song, do so; if not, shake for as long as you can. The idea is that as the poppet "dances," it is pierced by the pins in the jar.

Set the jar aside somewhere that it won't be disturbed. Whenever the target gives you trouble, take the jar out, turn on the music, and shake the poppet full of pins. If at any point you feel the target has learned their lesson, retrieve the poppet from the jar, take out any pins stuck into it, and remove the focus or dunk the poppet in saltwater overnight to neutralize the spell.

*Yes, I know that salt is generally used to protect, or to neutralize a spell. In this case, it's there to make the pinpricks hurt more. Feel free to substitute your favorite noxious herb or stinging spice if you don't wish to use salt in your jar.
