Introductions!
Finally decided to make an actual blog instead of my previous side blog, so here we are! Hoping this’ll stop my habit of dropping out and really force me to throw myself down the path. So, hello, my name’s Marco and I’ve accepted I have no idea what I’m doing 9 times out of 10. Welcome aboard!
Hey, so I moved over here. Gonna continue my work here!
General screeching
I’ve been super inactive, let’s be honest here. I’ve kinda come to the conclusion that I have zero idea what I’m doing besides doing my best, and that maybe I should make a separate blog rather than a side blog?
Anyways, gonna go do that. Byyye
Anti-anxiety Herbs
A list of herbs that help reduce stress & anxiety & how to use them.
Chamomile: Top of the list because it’s my personal favourite. Chamomile is very calming, & also helps calm the nervous system, reducing physical & emotional tensions & helping to soothe, & calm the mind. Chamomile tea is very effective in relieving anxiety, & can also be used in combination with other herbs as an edible oil to take internally for an instant relief. The smell of Chamomile alone is very calming & for these reasons it can also be used in aromatherapy remedies as incense or facial mists.
Lavender: Lavender is also very soothing & has a slight sedative effect. Use Lavender alone, or in combination with other herbs to place inside a pillow to aid in a restful sleep. Lavender can also be drunk as a tea to provide relief from emotional tensions & anxieties, & aid in soothing the nervous system, relieving physical stress as well.
Green Tea: Helps by relieving heart rate, & blood pressure, & cleans & detoxifies the blood at the same time. Provides mental clarity & reduces anxiety whilst improving focus, preventing one from becoming lethargic. Note that green tea does contain caffeine so it may not work for everyone in the same way.
Hops: Used in sleep pillows, & edible anti-anxiety oils & tinctures. Hops has mild sedative effects.
Valerian: Valerian is a strong sedative herb & can help promote a deep, restful sleep. It produces an unpleasant smell, so is usually taken as a supplement or tincture, but can also be used in combination with other fragrant herbs to drink as tea.Valerian has such strong sedative effects that it is advised only taking this herb in the evening, before bed. A good aid for insomniacs.
Lemon Balm: Lemon Balm has been used since the middle ages to help reduce stress & anxiety. It is useful in promoting both a calm, & more alert state of mind. Commonly taken as a tea, tincture, or capsule supplement.
Passionflower: Passionflower has mild sedative properties & helps soothe & calm the nervous system & relieve anxiety. It is also a great aid for insomnia.
Licorice Root: Helps by stimulating relaxing chemicals in the brain, it helps one in dealing with general stress. Soothes & calms the nervous system. Most commonly drunk in combination with other herbs as a tea, & used in sleep pillows.
Note: All of these herbs can be used in herbal sachets & other magickal charms to relieve stress & anxiety.
Remember these are only herbal suggestions, NOT prescribed medicine, if you are already on medication, ask your doctor if it’s ok to use some of these herbs internally as some come can react with medication. Do not take too many sedative supplements at once & consult your doctor before internal use of any herbal supplements if you are pregnant.

🥛🌹Glamour Milk Bath Spell🥛🌹
A bath spell to bring out your inner beauty!
Ingredients:
🥛🌹Rose essential oil (optional) ~ beauty/ self love - *make sure to test it on your skin first to see if it irritates your beautiful skin*
🥛🌹1/4 cup Rose petals (dried or fresh) ~ for self love + beauty
🥛🌹1 ½ - 2 cups powdered milk ~ for soft skin (if you dont have powdered milk, reg is fine, but powdered can be stored with the left over recipe!!!)
🥛🌹1/2 cup Epsom salt
🥛🌹1/4 cup rosemary ~ to be more memorable
Directions:
If using powdered milk:
🥛🌹 Pour Epsom salts into a medium sized bowl Add 3 drops of rose essential oil into the Epsom salts then stir well, then add another 3 and stir well again.
🥛🌹Add other dry ingredients into the bowl and stir until fully combined.
🥛🌹Pour into jar or air tight container.
*if using regular milk, do not put it in the jar, instead, when using the bath mixture, pour directly into the bath*
🥛🌹Use in bath when desired.
Notes:
🥛🌹Rosemary is associated with Aphrodite and is commonly used in ritual bath spells
🥛🌹Some of the ingredients are associated with self love, that is because in order to see true beauty, one must love one’s self!!
🥛🌹The best day to perform this bath spell is on a Friday, this is optional but helps with results!
🥛🌹The best lunar phase to perform this bath spell is on a New moon or full moon, again, optional but helps with spell results.
🥛🌹Put rose quartz (self love + beauty) , amethyst (self love + beauty) , and clear quartz (enhances magick + energy), on the rim of your bath tub or on the floor next to it to help give the spell a boost.
🥛🌹The rose essential oil can be substituted with any other essential oil associated with love, like lavender!

This Autumn, let something die.
A worry, a relationship, a project that has run its course. Let go of anxiety over the future. Let go of guilt.
Let go of other people’s dreams for you. Let go of the fear that happiness or success or love or joyousness somehow isn’t for you.
Let go of feeling unwanted. Go outside, can you feel how deeply your presence is craved here?
Let go of the small and burdensome things. Gifts never opened. Keys without a lock. Broken earrings, old love letters, the ephemera on your fridge.
As David Whyte writes, “Anything or anyone that does not bring you alive is too small for you.” This Autumn, let go of all the clothes you have outgrown.
Let go of comparison.
Let go of doubt.
Let go of the feeling that you are somehow not good enough.
Because every imperfect apple that lays soft in your hands, and every ray of low Autumn sunlight that warms you through woolens will tell you a different story, a much truer story. The story that you are more, much more, than enough. That you bless this world simply by being alive.
Y’all this hit me hard
a friendly, gentle reminder, if you need it, or if you’re feeling unsure:
the gods want to be worshipped. they grant us many things and return, we open ourselves to them and give in return. the gods want to be worshipped. even the smallest offering, the smallest prayer, the smallest act of devotion, when given with reverence and love is just as good and deserving as a large and elaborate ritual. the gods want to be worshipped. they want to hear your voice singing them a hymn, reciting them a poem, saying a few words of gratitude and praise.
if you’re feeling unsure, unworthy, or undeserving, it’s alright. we all feel that way. but give anyway. even if it’s small, even if you don’t think it’s good enough, give. give with all your heart, with all of the love that brings you to them in the first place.
all you need to do is the best you can. they will understand. they know what’s in your heart.
that’s enough. what you can do is enough.
you are not unworthy.
Discovery of the day: according to Hel, it’s not a failure or weakness or anything when a human has trouble connecting with the divine (fallow periods, dead godphone or bad reception and so on) but a sort of built-in protection. Gods are vastly different and huge and perceiving all of them would be way too much for our minds. But sometimes, when the conditions are bad (stress, low spoons or sth else), even partial perception of the divine might be too intense, so your mind essentially pulls the breaks? At least that was how I understood it. I’ve never looked at it that way, normally I saw that sorta thing as only one more limitation/shortcoming (y'know, with the mental illness stuff and all). But Hel says it’s good and beneficial…
This makes a lot of sense, actually
This lines up with my interactions with Loki, too. On days when I’m getting really good reception on the godphone, I’ll often push to keep talking with him longer, keep doing divination work or whatever else. And if it goes on too long, Loki will eventually start pushing me to take a rest, go eat, go do something fun that relaxes my mind. The harder I push to keep talking with him, the harder he pushes me to go recuperate from all the godphoning. Eventually he’ll stop responding with anything other than “go eat” or “nope. go have fun” and when I finally listen to him, I realize how exhausted I am. And often after a day like that, I’ll have a day or several with basically no reception at all.
I think there’s something to be said for built-in filters for our minds so we don’t exhaust ourselves trying to talk with the divine every single day. …Also something to be said for my need to learn to pace myself, and to learn to listen to Loki’s advice the first time, clearly. :P
Sometimes your gods don’t ever talk to you. Don’t let anybody tell you that that’s not normal, or that they’re better devotees or more religious or any of that horseshit. Your friends aren’t “more open” to the gods or anything like that. Your gods are not pissed at you. Silence from the gods is not an indicator of “something wrong” and if anyone tells you otherwise, they can fuck themselves with a pinecone.
Name Numerology
Every letter of the alphabet matches a number from 1-9. The number can be calculated by the digit sum equaling the place of the letter in the alphabet. E.g. ‘K’ is the 11th letter, the digit sum of 11 is 2, so ‘K’ equals the number of 2.
Alphabetical number table:
1 A J S
2 B K T
3 C L U
4 D M V
5 E N W
6 F O X
7 G P Y
8 H Q Z
9 I R
For the calculation of your Name, Personality and Heart number use your complete name(s) with first, middle and last names as it is written on your birth certificate! (This will bring the most accurate results.)
Here’s an example of how to calculate the Name number:
J E F F R E Y L E B O W S K I
1 5 6 6 9 5 7 3 5 2 6 5 1 2 9
add together 39 33
build digit sum 3+9=12 3+3=6
1+2= 3 stays 6
add together 3+6=9
NAME NUMBER IS 9
What your Name number indicates:
(1) A leadership personality with frontier spirit, strength, independence and determination.
(2) A diplomat and peacemaker who is sensitive towards the own and other people’s emotions.
(3) A master of words, always appearing to be youthful who is able to do many things at once and who becomes more self-confident in the process of getting older.
(4) A practical person who works hard, is patient and possesses a sense of detail.
(5) A freedom-loving traveller who appreciates diversity and change and who is able to do many things at once.
(6) A harmonious person who loves a peaceful home, family and all things beautiful and who is responsible as well.
(7) An analyst who is wise to use his time for reading and writing and moreover doesn’t miss the forest despite of all the trees.
(8) An organiser who gains power and success when being in charge of one’s own fate.
(9) A true humanist who loves art, music or voyages. You give generously and need recognition.
For calculating your Personality number you do the same as above only using the consonants of your name(s).
E.g. J E F F R E Y L E B O W S K I — J F F R Y L B W K S Personality number: 6
Your Personality number indicates that the people surrounding you see you as:
(1) daring, independent, original, strong-willed, competitive

(3) friendly, optimistic, eloquent, happy-go-lucky, entertaining
(4) disciplined, practical, hardworking, reliable, loyal

(7) restrained, self-confident, critical, analytical, trust-worthy
(8) modest, disciplined, efficient, powerful, successful

For calculating your Heart number you do the same as above only using the vowels of your name(s).
E.g. J E F F R E Y L E B O W S K I — E E E O I — Heart number: 3
Your Heart number indicates that your deepest inner feelings, wishes and skills motivate you to:
(1) use your own ideas to lead and guide others exemplary.
(2) collaborate with others and to use your sensitivity and diplomatic skills to be a joy to the people around you.

Me: Why am I getting Zeus vibes?
