Just made this little protection/ good vibes spell jar in light of the full moon tonight🌕

For anyone interested this is what I used:

Pink himalayan salt- cleansing, protection

Clove- protection, healing

Rosemary- love, healing, protection

Thyme- dispel negative energy

Cinnamon- self love

Black Pepper- banish negativity

Lavender essential oil- peace, calmness

Amethyst- peace, anti-anxiety/ stress

Cayenne pepper- to give the spell a little more “kick” (I put in a little too much on accident lol )

A note with my intention

Sealed with candle wax

Going to leave it out on my window sill to soak up all the moonlight ✨🌙

basic things i’ve learned:

1. rosemary can be used in place of herbs you don’t have

2. white candles can be used in place of any other color candle

3. tobacco can be used in place of any poisonous herb 

4. a book of shadows and a grimoire are different- a book of shadows is a private thing and a grimoire is a thing that you’d share, or other people can write in. 

5. you don’t have to cast spells to practice witchcraft 

6. if you’re a baby witch, don’t work with deities! they’re dangerous and if you’re not careful they can actually be a bad spirit pretending to be a deity. 

7. always! be! careful! cast a circle, sage, do everything!!

let me know if you have any questions and if you want to know anything specific. blessed be!

Gaelic Gasp

What is a “Gaelic Gasp”? You might ask that, but if you live in Scotland or the Maritimes, chances are you’ve heard it before.

A Gaelic Gasp is a linguistic phenomenon that originates from the Scottish Highlands, however is also commonly found in the Scottish Lowlands, Nova Scotia, PEI, and New Brunswick. It is characterized as being an intake of breath while saying words such as “yeah”, and is often used in agreement.

What makes the Gaelic Gasp so interesting is that most people are completely unaware of doing it. And many people will deny doing it. Another interesting thing is that sometimes people will actually become competitive and use the Gaelic Gasp more when put in a conversation with another person who is using it.

Menstruation in the ancient World

Menstruation may seem to some an odd topic to write about on an erotica blog, but women do enjoy sex, erotica, and masturbation while bleeding. I know I do. That is why, when Serena sent me this tweet, I laughed, because I could totally relate:

When I forget I’m on my period and start masturbating https://t.co/7DMKDyX7nj

I didn’t laugh anymore when I read the comments beneath the tweet.

Maybe I grew up in a very niche environment, but none of the people in my life have been squeamish to talk about menstruation. As a teenager, a male friend even asked if he could see my (bloody) tampon, because he was curious. That is why people acting with such aversion to the subject always leave me open-mouthed.

On the other hand, there exist cute sayings like “a good captain isn’t afraid to sail the red sea” or “menstronaut” (though shouldn’t it be menstrunaut?) for men who are not bothered by a little blood and engage in sexual activity during menstruation.

Menstruation is surrounded by myths even to this day. And usually not the fun kind. Today, I want to take a look at the ancient world and how women back then dealt with their monthly bleeding.
