how to develop my dream aesthetic of being soft, girly, devoted to aphrodite, etc? thank you angel

~Bathe with pink Himalayan salt, rose petals, rose quartz, pink candles, and essential oils

~ Display rose quartz around your room, especially by your bed and on your vanity. It promotes sensuality and self love, two things that go together with Aphrodite.

~ Create an altar for Aphrodite

~ Wear flowing pink, white, and, black garments (satin, tulle, cotton, and velvet are among the best for this aesthetic)

~ Wear highlighter as eye shadow and blush on the tip of your nose

~ Adorn yourself with pearls, seashell and celestial jewelry

~ Drink floral teas such as rose, lavender, jasmine, chamomile, and orange blossom

~ Be kind to others

💗💗💗💗

What You Need Is Always At The Bottom Of The Deck

I have the Goddess Guidance oracle deck, and I keep the Aphrodite card in my altar to her.

I took her card today and put it in the deck for a reading. I shuffled the deck and did the reading. Afterwards, I needed the Aphrodite card back to put in my altar. They say the card you need most is at the bottom of the deck…

I look at the bottom of my deck, and sure enough Aphrodite is there, ready to go back to her altar 😍 Okay, that was cool!

Have I told y’all about my husband’s Fork Theory?  If I did already, pretend I didn’t, I’m an old.

So the Spoon Theory is a fundamental metaphor used often in the chronic pain/chronic illness communities to explain to non-spoonies why life is harder for them. It’s super useful and we use that all the time. But it has a corollary.  You know the phrase, “Stick a fork in me, I’m done,” right? Well, Fork Theory is that one has a Fork Limit, that is, you can probably cope okay with one fork stuck in you, maybe two or three, but at some point you will lose your shit if one more fork happens.  A fork could range from being hungry or having to pee to getting a new bill or a new diagnosis of illness. There are lots of different sizes of forks, and volume vs. quantity means that the fork limit is not absolute. I might be able to deal with 20 tiny little escargot fork annoyances, such as a hangnail or slightly suboptimal pants, but not even one “you poked my trigger on purpose because you think it’s fun to see me melt down” pitchfork.

This is super relevant for neurodivergent folk. Like, you might be able to deal with your feet being cold or a tag, but not both. Hubby describes the situation as “It may seem weird that I just get up and leave the conversation to go to the bathroom, but you just dumped a new financial burden on me and I already had to pee, and going to the bathroom is the fork I can get rid of the fastest.”

[cipheramnesia]

I like this and also I like the low key point that you may be able to cope with bigger forks by finding little ones you can remove quickly. A combination of time, focus, and reduction to small stressors that can allow you to focus on the larger stressor in a constructive way.

[explorerrowan]

You guys are missing the best part, which is that you can say “I don’t give a fork” when someone is intentionally trolling you.

[fangirlinginleatherboots]

listen. if your religion requires you to reject a part of yourself, its unhealthy.

if your religion condemns you for something you cant control its abusive.

if the people in your religious community encourage unhealthy behaviors, its straight up terrible and you have the right to leave.

spirituality is supposed to enlighten you and fill you with reason and passion and self. if it doesn’t do that, you don’t have to stay. you deserve to be happy.

Shout out to everyone that’s reading this and are actually actively applying this to their lives. Not just reblogging it and lying to themselves that they will get to this point “someday”.

Knowing When Magic Won’t Help

Magic is a virtually infinite thing. The witch wills something to happen, and it does, in one form or another. Almost all spells will work if you put the right amount of juice into them. Sometimes it’s not where magic would fail, but where it would be useless. It’s hard to admit that something you use all the time won’t help you when you could use it most. Magic is something to live by. It’s a way of life. It’s a power. It’s a part of yourself, if you decide to take it in.  It’s not always the best tool to for every situation.  The most common place I see this lesson learned is after someone begins missing something. Their best friend moved away and changed. Their ex moved on. Whatever be the situation, and there are countless ones, it ends up being disappointing.  You could drag them kicking and screaming back to you. You could make them love you again. You could magically reconstruct the entire memory.  But it won’t be the real thing.  It would be a poor imitation. Take away the magic, and everything is still different. It won’t ever be the same as it was.  And that’s only one scenario. There are many others. They almost always end the same.  It’s not about ethics. It’s about being honest with yourself. It’s about being kind to yourself.  Magic can only halt grief temporarily. When life has irreparably changed, magic cannot fix it.  In the end, it must be faced.

Truth is hard.

[docholligay]

Doc, what are the top five items food banks LOVE to receive? I'm doing a collection soon and want to ask for specifics.

MONEY. WE WANT MONEY. MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY. WE CAN DO SO MUCH WITH IT. WE HAVE ACCESS TO DEALS YOU COULD NEVER. MONEY

That aside.

 I’m only going to talk about food items but if your food bank takes personal items, a lot of times diapers, feminine hygiene products, etc, are very very welcome. 

1) Canned chicken and beef 

looooooove this stuff. It’s expensive, it lasts forever, it tastes good and it can be used a variety of ways. This stuff is fucking catnip to food banks, it’s so hard for us to provide proteins. 

2) Fancy nut butters

Peanut butter is a standby for food banks as a shelf-stable inexpensive protein, but if we have a family with a kid with a peanut allergy that’s not going to work. Non-peanut butters are expensive and it’s something we hardly ever see donated. (we also like peanut butter, but that’s easier for us to buy ourselves than non-peanut butters)

3) Canned or packaged tuna

You may notice a trend here in shelf-stable proteins. And yeah. That’s basically it, so I’m not going to keep harping on it. But this stuff is a godsend. 

4) Easy breakfast things for kids (Granola bars, instant oatmeal, and the like) 

Whatever Donald Trump tells you, most people who get food from food banks are actually working their asses off and so they have to leave Obama to raise their baby or whatever, and they don’t have a lot of time in the morning. Things like this that kids can make for themselves are expensive. (Another trend you may be noticing–donate shit that costs a lot of money. That helps us more than all the shitty green bean cans in the world) But they are so helpful for busy working families where the parents may not have a set schedule and sometimes little Amanda is making her own breakfast before she runs off to school. Don’t let kids go to school hungry. 

5) Shelf-stable juice

This is one people never think of! But if you show up with a bunch of (preferably reduced sugar stuff) bottles of juice at my door, oh man, you are gonna get so many check mark and okay hand emoticons. This stuff is great for kids, and it doesn’t require refrigeration until it’s opened, so it works great for food drives. 

[kesonafyren]

But seriously, give money

And it’s way better food, too, anything you get prepackaged has A TON of sugar and/or salt in it…collecting cans may be more exciting than writing a check, but if the point is to help people, the check is going to get a lot more done

May the 10 of Pentacles bless your account with more money than you can spend. 💵✨

I get kind of annoyed with witchcraft books that try to make you stop reading and go fulfill some task before you keep reading. I’ve read a few that even shame people for not doing their experiment before heading to the next chapter. It’s like, witch, I’m sitting here in bed with a cat on my lap at 9 pm and I’m not going to go find a forest somewhere to hug a tree right now before I read your next chapter.
