"If you fail to speak to who you are--fail to make it a practice to declare yourself along your path through your actions and words--you will one day look in the mirror with blurry eyes and not see the woman you have decided to be. Instead, you'll see a blur of a person with no physical reminders of who you were when you were granted the gift of youth." -Claire Everson, "The Crone." Ravenous Zine, vol. 1, p26

The Wheel of the Year
Imbolc: Hell yeah it’s almost spring
Ostara: Hell yeah it’s spring
Beltane: Hell yeah it’s summer
Midsummer: Hell yeah it’s the middle of the summer
Lughnasadh: Hell yeah it’s the first harvest
Mabon: Hell yeah it’s the second harvest
Samhain: Hell yeah it’s the last harvest
Yule: Hell yeah it’s winter
There is only one week until Lammas on August 1st. Lammas is a Pagan holiday to celebrate the harvest. On Lammas it is the height of summer and the union of the sun and the earth and of God and Goddess. After the God lay with the Goddess on Beltane she became pregnant with the harvest to come. Lammas is the celebration of this first grain harvest the Goddess has given birth to. It is a time for gathering in and giving thanks for the abundance bestowed upon the earth.
On Lammas the fields will be glowing gold with corn and wheat and the reaping will soon begin. The harvest period will continue until Samhain when the last stores for the winter months would be put away.
The word Lammas actually means 'Loaf Mas' to celebrate the harvest it is traditional to cook and eat bread. It is also traditional to make a corn dolly for protection throughout the winter months and to bring luck to the home.
Make a Lammas alter by adding corn, wheat and grains. Add pumpkins, apples, nuts and berries to honour the season. Light candles with harvest colours such as whites, gold, yellow, oranges, browns and greens. Add representations of the God and Goddess and thank them for their sacrifices.
Lammas is also known as Lughnasadh as it celebrates the Celtic Sun God Lugh. Lughnasadh mean 'Praise Lugh' it is pronounced 'Loona Sah' Lammas is primarily a thanksgiving holiday, when each person gives thanks for the things and blessings in their lives and to thanks the God and Goddess for the harvest to come. Lammas is about death and rebirth. Everything dies and everything is reborn. This is our whisper of immortality and the wonderful bittersweet of Lammas. The natural world is thriving around us, and yet the knowledge that everything will soon die looms in the background. On Lammas It is a good time to rid yourself of anything that you want to leave in the past to allow new and positive things to enter your life in the future. Lammas is the perfect time to smudge your home with sage to rid yourself of any negative energy.

Me: Dear Tarot deck. I am stuck in an exhaustion induced negativity vortex and don't want to accomplish anything. I would like to just lay on the floor and let time stop for a bit.
"What do I need today?"

the magick of coffee
enjoying your coffee, latte or mocha in the morning can be a small ritual of its own. coffee as a fruit, as well as what flavors and milks you choose to enjoy with it, all have magickal properties that can work well together.
coffee magick
the magickal properties of coffee include: grounding, peace of mind, overcoming negativity, and breaking curses. it is also commonly used as an offering to ancestors, spirits and deities.
coffee can also be used for divination; it’s said that bubbles in your cup of black coffee are a sign of good luck (and extra luck if you can catch the bubbles with a spoon and eat them!).
coffee and espresso are also a great way to fertilize your garden and charge your herbs with higher energy!
flavor magick
sugar: used to “sweeten” both literally and magically! brings positivity.
vanilla: promotes happiness, calmness and love
hazelnut: brings you spiritual
chocolate: emotional release, prosperity
cinnamon: attracting wealth, passion
milk magick
cow milk (comfort, protection), almond milk (good luck), soy milk (psychic awareness), rice milk (blessings, prosperity), coconut milk (purification, protection), cashew milk (money), oat milk (prosperity, wealth)
On my first morning in Portugal, right around sunrise I walked in the old section of Castelo de Vide.
I don’t usually take unsolicited advice from men but when hozier emerged from the woods and said “be as you’ve always been” some points were made
me talking to a psychic: can you please tell me what I want?
what she says: i’m fine
what she means: finnick odair is viewed widely as a superficial character who was only self-obsessed and okay with being a killer, but really he survived the hunger games as the youngest ever winner, went through that much trauma and survived at 14 years old, grew up to fall in love with an emotionally damaged girl who had gone through what he had, yet she had turned out more externally damaged, grew close with a sweet old woman, was willing to protect her with his life and literally physically carried her on his back in the games, despite the risk to himself, stood with the rebellion against the Capitol even though he was their darling, publicly defied and spilled secrets about the president, married that same damaged girl he loved even in the middle of a war and had a child who he never got to meet, helped a psychologically damaged and unrecognizable Peeta and defended him, protected his friends and team against the lizard mutts, and actually begged for Katniss to throw a bomb down where he was, because he knew that it would save her and the rest of the team, even though he would die.
