magnolia flowers

the gorgeous magnolia flowers do not grow commonly on the ground or on bushes like other flowers do, but on beautiful trees that bloom all throughout summer, but especially during the months of spring.

there are over 200 species of magnolias but basically all of them follow the same evolutional design: according to the Botanical Garden Society (USA), fossil remains show that some magnolias have been around for already 100 million years, and that ancient magnolias look very similar to todays magnolias.

magnolia tree bark and flower buds have been used in traditional chinese medicine for ancient times and contain honokiol and magnolol, which both have been found out to be anti-anxiety compounds. it also reduces allergic reactions and asthmatic bouts, also menstruental cramps and tensed muscles [however, do not play around with herbal remedies if you are not educated / experienced like a professional herbalist ❣ ]

some more knowledge about magnolias:

traditionally pollinated by beetles

also bisexual and self-pollinating

named after Pierre Magnol (born 1638)

not poisonous and very fragrant

occurs in many different colors

often seen as the scent “champa”

symbol of poise and pride

self-respect and self-esteem

symbol of long-life and bearing

promotes psychic development

i personally feel magnolias are useful in prosperity themed magic, especially yellow ones, as their petals are arranged in a cup shape, which reminds of abundance, and because their overall association seem very noble and dignified. but also i feel like the cup shape can represent the suit of the tarot (emotional plane) and i can imagine magnolia love themed magic with pink petals is also very nice! white magnolias, which are the most common, are perfect for anything revolving around peace and purity! generally it is a very wonderful flower with a lot of ancient wisdom and ethereal grace ♡

Diy Scrying Ball

I’ve been waiting since last Christmas for my local Dollar Tree to stock the diy snow globes so I could put my master plan into action. The time has finally come!

Last year I created this:

Now I’m gonna step it up a notch and create this:

Lets go!

Materials:

Diy Globe kit

Sparkle glue or Sparkles and Veg Glycerin

Waterproof LED Tea lights

(not pictured)

a drill

a hot glue gun

food coloring

rubbing alcohol or hand sanitizer

Bowl

something to stir with

Instructions

so you’re gonna separate the kit into all its parts and then drill a hole into the lid smaller than the bulb of the tealight.

Slowly push the bulb through the hole to open it up, then take it out, hot-glue the area around the bulb then slide it back in, once its in give it a thin layer of hot glue over where the bulb protrudes. Test that the light still works and will fit into the base without issue.
