Hello.

I’m back again because I’m scared. The world is uncomfortable and spiky, and so out of control, and I’m searching for softness and comfort.

Hello, I’m sorry, I hope you’re well, I’ve missed you, how are you.

i’m ready for june. the purest month. the friday afternoon of summer, when the world hums with possibility. when spring kisses summer on the cheek, leaves behind a trail of ferns and dew. june is packing your suitcase for a trip. june is a sprinkler in the lawn. june is goodbye and hello all at once. every day feels like the first moment after you wake up, when the dreams still stick to your skin. we wander dazed and hazy in the infant months of heat and sun. we are lovely and unafraid

Posting some pages from my teeny tiny travel grimoire to hopefully inspire those of you who are struggling 💫 it’s not perfect and won’t work for everyone but it’s perfect for me. You don’t need to cram every bit of information you can find on the internet into it, write what works for you and what is useful to you 🌸

Stranger: are you a witch?

Me: yeah

Stranger: are…are you a BAD witch????

Me: yeah, I don’t memorize my rituals and my idea of a sabbat celebration is making pancakes from mix

me, reaching into my dresser drawer for black pants: I hope this isn’t the pair with big holes worn in the inner thighs

Marie Kondo, gently over my shoulder: why is a pair of pants you find unwearable still in your dresser drawer

me: oh shit that’s right!! The dresser is for clothes that under some circumstance I might conceivably wear!!

Marie Kondo, beaming proudly: Yes, that’s correct!! These pants must have been your favorites. How wonderful that they were so comfortable and practical that you wore them out. But now since they no longer function as pants, you should move them from the drawer where you keep your functioning pants!

me: Yes thanks I got it they’re in the fabric basket now

Marie Kondo, fading back into the darkness: I love what you’ve done with the kitchen!!

[cwicseolfor]

The notion of KonMari as some creepy semi-embodied but entirely benevolent spirit, like a well-intentioned Bloody Mary, is so perfect and wonderful.

Marie Kondo has the same powers but the exact opposite energy of the Duolingo Owl.

[strangelyregular]

YES.

Marie Kondo: Your room isn’t very clean, but that’s okay, I love mess! Does this spark joy?

Duolingo Owl: I wrote the ransom note in Spanish, and if you have to use Google Translate to read it, your kid gets it. You broke your streak. I’ll break your neck.

sometimes you need to do the hard thing. study for your test even if it’s boring and you want to avoid it. get up an hour early to exercise even if you feel like death. go out of your way to help someone else even if it’s inconvenient. do something alone even though you’re afraid of being judged. go somewhere new even if it’s scary and disorientating at first. confess to the person who makes u blush even if it means risking rejection. let go of your old habits even though it feels like you can’t live without them. it’s supposed to be hard. life isn’t going to have amazing rewards if you’re always feeling comfortable.

U kno I just found out that the whole quote is “Rome wasn’t built in a day, but it burned in one” and I like that a lot better

[sallyjacson]

apparently another version of this quote that’s centuries old is “Rome wasn’t built in a day, but they were laying bricks every hour” and I like the take of this one a lot

dont ever think you cant be cottagecore and dark and mysterious at the same time. you havent heard of revolving bookshelves that hold many books about plants and animals leading into rooms filled with animal bones and banned literature? basement trapdoors hidden under rugs you knitted yourself with who knows what in the depths of it? shed for gardening tools actually leading to underground tunnels that take you to somewhere deep in the woods? that planter with the tomatoes in it? you buried something there.  this tree? you put something there for the bark to grow around it, never meant to be seen again. the crows, bring you things because you feed them and the owls can always be seen in your trees because the garden attracts many critters. vultures fly in the sky over your woods because, well… you know.

Perhaps the most pleasant surface to touch

looking at this makes me feel calmer

It’s 2019; if authors could stop peddling this ‘Wicca is an ancient religion’ bullshit, that’d be GREAT.

““My flatmate gets drunk and goes shoe shopping. I, on the other hand, buy magic books that I have no intention of ever reading, usually vehemently disagree with and -on at least two occasions- already own.””

[peelingmandarins]

capitalism is fucking scary because it will commodify literally anything. it commodifies the rebellion culture that is supposed to strike against the system but capitalism turns it into “punk rock”. it commodifies spirituality to make you buy self help books that teaches you to stay away from capitalism. it commodifies minimalism and makes you buy things to maintain your minimalist aesthetic. it commodifies global warming, one of the deadliest consequences of capitalism itself and guilt trips you into buying “green products”. it commodifies itself and creates the idea that vanity is fashionable. it will eat everything up.

The lemon curse

What you need: Lemon (to bring problems to their lives) Nails (to bring pain) Twine black ( for banishing) Dragons blood ink ( for magical potency) {or regular ink if you don’t have any } Knife Scissors

Step one : write the name / names of the people you want to curse. As you write the names concentrate on how they will no longer hurt you.

Step two: cut the names into pieces so that they will fit into the lemon.

Step three: cut the lemon into slices that correspond with the number of people getting cursed.

Step four: place the names between the slices, then hold them closed together with the nails and twine, focusing on how they will have pain and sorrow. Now they are bound to the curse and can no longer hurt you.

Step five: you can dispose of the cursed lemon any way you see fit so that they are out of your life.
