hello, friends! if you're seeing this post you're likely either someone who hasn't seen me for quite a while (its good to see you again!) OR potentially someone coming in while this blog is under construction- and I'm glad to have you here either way.
it's been a long time since I've used this space, but am feeling some callings that would really benefit from having a little nook to be organized & shared. that being said- I have changed in such infinite & deep ways that a true clean up & realignment is absolutely needed.
the content here will mostly be along the same vein- just fine tuned and maybe a bit shifted. if what I post & do no longer aligns with you, no matter how long the button has said 'following', please feel NO guilt in curating your feed to your liking. ♡
i will also potentially be shifting my username here, but that won't be for a moment yet!
so, going forward, you can expect things like but not limited to:
• folk magic
• general spirituality
• tarot (+ readings)
• general divination
• hedge witchery
• ancestor work
• astrology
• reading & book discussion/reviews (spiritual & non)
• the occasional shilling of my shop
♡,

take a deep breath. ask yourself, the universe, your guides to help you pick the message you most need to hear- then select an image that calls to you.

justice + page of swords
oh, sweet darling. how lovely it would be to set down the sword and allow yourself to simply experience peace.
you don't just ache for rest, but the opportunity to set down both sword AND shield. to have someone protect you, finally, in all the ways you never were before. to know you are safe within walls outside of your own tedious, tireless, unending creation.
and further yet, to be understood. to be known so deeply that your reasons, your purpose, for taking up arms isn't punished or pitied. you aren't infantilized nor are you praised for your maturity in situations where you had no other choices. to be seen, without judgement.
you crave deep, divine connection with someone very important to you, but which comes first- their unwavering understanding or allowing them in to see?
be wary of seeking revenge for the events of the past. self fulfilling prophecies will only leave you chasing your own tail, alone.

viii of cups + queen of wands
you may often feel like a split person. the daylight hours leave you energized, bright, and feeling as though the world is yours for the taking. but after the sun sets, you feel the gaze of the stars bearing down on you- as though they are waiting. can you live up to their expectations? can you make them proud?
you are craving a way to reconcile the various facets of yourself- a way to combine your feelings, your experience, your talents and thoughts, wants and needs, into something cohesive. a whole picture of yourself, no longer at war with itself. a vision that makes sense and feels like home.
what if the path to loving yourself- in all your phases and stages- is loving them where they're at and how they already present? what if you're already whole? what if the divisions don't need to exist?
you are the universe.
┊🦢III
queen of cups + ace of wands
you are in your element. you have put in the work, you have found your comfort zone and you rule it without a doubt. but is it what you need- is it what you want?
on the outside, people may look to you for inspiration or guidance. how do you achieve so well, how do you get it all done, how do you make it happen? you may have even given your life for the stability and success others equate you with. you earned it.
that aside, do you feel accomplished? sure, everything you sacrificed to bring yourself to this level may have brought you financial and social security. you thought you'd reached the ultimate goal post.. just to find out there's more to this whole life thing. you had your eyes so set on the horizon that you never stopped to question what may lie beyond it.
take a chance, abandon caution and feel alive without restraint. no meetings to attend in a faraway city, no posts to be made about your time out with friends, no reviews to be written about dinner.
your soul needs it.

Self improvement is great but ultimately? you have to accept your self. Yes you can eat better, exercise more, read more, set boundaries, love your self, but it all comes down to this. Some days you won’t have the energy to do any of these things. And you’ll look in the mirror and think that this is not enough. That’s a lie. The biggest love for self is to live slowly. To rest. To really rest. Have a nap. Eat what makes you feel good. Read if you want to. Embrace yourself and accept that you cannot and will not be ever be perfect. Accept that you are good enough. You don’t need to keep busy all the time. you don’t need to go out all the time and post on instagram. You don’t need to journal if you don’t want to. You don’t need to make art if you don’t want to. Breathe, give yourself grace and compassion. Give yourself the love and tenderness you so badly need. Be gentle with yourself. You are trying and it is good enough. You are good enough.
