I realized I could at last put all my Ogham trees together in a single family portrait. Considering how weird search can get, this makes the series a lot more cohesive than a bunch of scattered posts (not to mention my desperately freeform tagging system).

I’m happy that it ended up being colourful. When I first started I thought oh but it’s going to be pretty much all green then?? because trees and leaves but there is pleasant variation, I think. Those trees challenged me in many ways, and I’m thankful for it

Self Esteem Check In by intuitive-witch

If you’re anything like me, you probably struggle from time to time with loving yourself. I use this spread when I need a little insight into why I’m so down on myself, and as a little pick-me-up so I can appreciate my better qualities! As a small note, this spread can be used with both tarot and oracle cards! As usual, this spread should not be used in place of professional help if needed.

1. Overall: How is your self esteem, generally speaking? What are the major highlights, concerns, issues, etc? You may wish to refer back to this card throughout the spread as a clarifier if needed. 

2. Low Points: This card represents the part of yourself that you may be struggling with. What parts do you find difficult to accept and love? Try to focus on being a little more patient and loving toward yourself in these areas.

3. High Points: This card represents that part of yourself that you are truly proud of! What are you great at? What have you accomplished? Take some time to celebrate your stand out qualities.

4. Influences: This card represents the external and internal factors at play in your self esteem. This card may be especially important if you’re struggling with your self esteem as it can point you toward where those negative thoughts are coming from.

5. Advice: No matter where you are with your self esteem right now, this card will send you off with some advice on how to improve your relationship with you! Do you need patience? Do you need to make some changes? Listen to the message this card has for you.

And, never forget, you’re truly amazing! - xo

Do any of you know about that one painting with Aphrodite being born out of lava with a black swan by her side or did i completely hallucinate that? Been searching for a while but i can’t find it for shit.

[thecavenest]

I tried googling that description but no luck either, anyone might know what painting this might be (or if it does exist? cause it sounds sick lol)

[semicolonthefifth]

It took a bit of googling magic, but I think I’ve found it.

This is “Kindled” by Laura K. Cannon, which is part of her portfolio that can be found here: http://navate.com/2wk6im1sartc92iwza7il07bxq2mk5

💖🥚Ostara Tips!🥚💖

Spring is finally upon us! Remember, even if you’re a busy witch, you can do simple things to celebrate today:

• Talk to your plants. Put a favorite little crystal or tumbling stone next to their roots! 🌷 • Take deep breaths while you’re outside. Even if it’s just while walking to your car for work - Visualize the fresh air as the new energy of Spring while you inhale, exhaling the built-up energy from season’s past. 🌬 • Charge your morning tea or coffee with a crystal, letting your beverage absorb its radiance and drinking up its energy. 🍵 • During your meals throughout the day (and try to eat lots of vegetables and fruits), be grateful for your food, that which you have access to from the Earth and its power to grow. If you have time, write a quick love letter to Nature. 🌍 • Celebrate through color! Wear pastel pinks, blues, greens, and creamy whites. ✨

Simple ways to celebrate Imbolc (for closeted witches)

I have to admit practicing witchcraft isn’t always easy, especially when you are still in the broom closet. At first, you’re scared people will judge you, or just find you weird. It’s hard to celebrate a pagan holiday when you live with people who don’t know about your spirituality, or live in a very religious neighborhood. To help my fellow witches celebrate the coming of Imbolc, I’ve decided to list 15 simple ways to have a discreet holiday practice.

1: Light every candle in the house (or one by room), symbolizing the return of the sun. 2: Draw a sun in the snow. 3: Tie knot magick to tree branches. 4: Leave offerings for the goddess Brigid, by a window (eggs, candles, lavender, figures of her, milk, honey, etc). 5: Eat healthier, and drink lots of tea. 6: Watch the moon at night. 7: Cast new beginnings and prosperity spells. 8: Start a dream diary. 9: Take walks outside and breath in the fresh air of coming spring. 10: Start thinking about your gardening for this summer, and buy the plants you’d like to cultivate. 11: Learn moon chants, or pagan songs. 12: Hang bells at your doorbells. 13: Get off your phone for a day. 14: Charge your crystals by placing them by a windowsill for a night. 15: Write all your wishes for the coming summer on a piece of paper, and bury it in the ground.
