𝐴𝑠 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑚𝑖𝑠𝑒𝑑, I have shared a couple excerpts from my divination journal 🔮📔

𝟶𝟷/𝟶𝟽/𝟸𝟷: Kapwa Tarot - 𝐷𝑖𝑤𝑎𝑡𝑎 (Temperance), 𝐿𝑎𝑘𝑎𝑝𝑎𝑡𝑖 (Empress), 𝐷𝑎𝑙𝑎𝑤𝑎 𝑛𝑔 𝐵𝑎𝑙𝑎𝑡 (2 of Cups)

This reading took place just days after I was invited to visit the farm @gaiashideout. This was 2 whole months before I actually moved there in March 2021. In January was told that the owners wanted to build a community and host events. I was invited to join that community, which sounded like a total dream! So in this reading, I was asking my guides what would be my future with Gaia’s Hideout.

🃏𝙳𝚒𝚠𝚊𝚝𝚊/𝚃𝚎𝚖𝚙𝚎𝚛𝚊𝚗𝚌𝚎 the Diwata are our guides, ancestors, spirits of nature, they spoke of alignment, patience and waiting which were definite things I had to work through for those couple months before it aligned for me to move there. I worried, I felt distant because it was hard for me to get all the way down to Homestead to start building with this community, I got discouraged a few times. Patience was key.

🃏 𝙻𝚊𝚔𝚊𝚙𝚊𝚝𝚒, 𝚃𝚑𝚎 𝙴𝚖𝚙𝚛𝚎𝚜𝚜, is representative of Pachamama, Lakapati, Mother Nature — GAIA 💚🌱😭 this was the kicker for me… Gaia’s Hideout is a 10-acre exotic fruit farm with jackfruit groves, bananas, papayas, mangoes and so many exotic fruits I had never heard of. As many of you know, the community did come together and we truly experienced Gaia’s bounty. This card spoke of re-membering our belonging to nature, and living in connection + reception of her endless blessings.

At the end of 2020 I was called to write down my readings because of how accurate they proved to be. I wanted to keep track of the messages I received from Spirit, my guides and Ancestors, to give me the ability to look back and find patterns 👁

It is important as a reader, and as the querent, to have an intimate understanding of how messages received translate to events that unfold. Writing readings down has allowed me see that translation more tangibly than ever before. I can now share readings with you that gave me reassurance of an outcome, well before the situation or problem was actually solved. This is profound to me.

Even as spiritualists, we can be skeptical. In my start with divination and cards, I was leery… after all, I started this path solely for herbs, stones, and spiritual knowledge, but I soon found out that both spiritual knowledge and indigenous herbalism include divination, so here we are.

𝐼𝑛 𝑚𝑦 𝑛𝑒𝑥𝑡 𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑡, I’ll be sharing pieces of a couple readings that really touched me 📨🔮✨

All posts before today are years old, and serve as a digital time capsule of knowledge and exploration of self 👁

As promised, and requested, a bottle sealing post!

A important reminder first– be careful when you’re using candles, don’t set your shit on fire. You can use any candle for this, I use different candles (colors and scents) depending on what I associate with the bottle I’m making (yellow & lemon for happiness, blue for sleep, etc.) you don’t have to do this, but you can. You can also use regular candles instead on tea lights, but tea lights usually melt faster for me.

Also, I don’t know (or actually care?) if this is the proper way to seal a bottle with wax, witchcraft doesn’t need to be fancy, and my personal craft is focused on using what I already have, and going out to purchase “special” items as little as possible, nothing wrong if you do, but I am a very small budget witch, and I like the challenge that comes with it. I happen to be a bit candle crazy, so this works well for me.

Okay, so here we go!

Set down a piece of paper if you don’t want to get wax on your stuff, light that little tea candle (or regular candle) and let it start to melt. I usually light my candle before I start putting together my bottle, so it is usually close to ready by the time I’m done.

Once the tea light is melted all the way (or big candle, deep enough to dip) I dip the top in! If you are using a bigger bottle than I am, you can remove the wick usually with a pair of tweezers, but I don’t like to do this because I never use all the wax, so it’s a waste if I take out the wick!

Pull it out, you can blow on it to help it cool faster, dip it again, out, blow on it, a few times until it’s pretty covered and the top is pretty solidly covered (pictured is after the first dip! But you can see how covered it was when I start pouring wax in the next photo)

If you want the drippy-witchy-wax look, (carefully) pick up your candle and pour wax over the bottle top (see why we put that paper down, now?) I usually smooth out the top with my thumb, gently while it’s cooling down. Once cooled down the wax on the paper usually comes right up, and I usually stick it back in the candle to melt down for later. 

Usually I stick mine in the fridge to cool down and harden (my house is warm bc we don’t control the heat) 

And ta-da! Your bottle is sealed up. Also, I think you could probably carve a sigil in the top if you’re into sigils (I don’t personally use them, but I imagine you could!) 

There we go, it’s super easy, no one taught me how, I just sat down and was like “OKAY, so how am I going to seal this without covering the whole damn bottle in wax????” and this is what I came up with! If you don’t want whatever is in your jar to move around (I usually pack mine pretty tight, so it’s okay) I would just pour the wax on top, it will be messier though.

If anyone has any questions, feel free to shoot them over my way! 

Have a beautiful day, babies. I hope this was helpful!

- a post for the anti-anxiety bottle pictured here is coming soon! -

witchy reminder

just because a witch practices in a way you don’t favour or in a way that doesn’t work for you personally doesn’t mean their way of practice isn’t valid! please support your fellow witches on their journey of self discovery, let’s all educate each other and build each other up instead of judging or turning up our noses to witches of different belief systems!
