Diwali-inspired intersex flags
It was Diwali, and I was once again inspired by a holiday to make some relevant intersex flags 🪔
First, some Diwali-specific imagery:
The rangoli pattern on the left is by Desti Silvana Ekasari of the Noun Project and comes with a CC BY 3.0 license. The diya lamp icon on the right comes from the Fluent Emoji pack.
I also made intersex flags for intersex members of the religions associated with the holiday: Jains, Hindus, Vajrayana Buddhists, and Sikhs (FYI: "Sikh" is pronounced like "sick" not "seek" 💜).
Icon sources: Jain Ahimsa, Hindu Aum, Vishvavajira, Sikh Khanda
Personal note: I'm not myself a member of any religion, but I do celebrate Diwali because my partner's family is Hindu. 💜

What is Beltane?
Beltane is a fire festival celebrated on the night of April 30th into May 1st in the Northern Hemisphere, and around October 31st into November 1st in the Southern Hemisphere. It marks the midpoint between the spring equinox and the summer solstice, honoring fertility, passion, and the sacred union between the divine feminine and masculine. Traditionally, it signals the beginning of the light half of the year, a time of growth, abundance, warmth, and blooming life. Beltane celebrates freedom, love, lust, creativity, and the return of life to the natural world, bringing with it new, flourishing beginnings. May 1st is a day of joy and play. After a harsh winter, it becomes a celebration of renewal, of aliveness, and of nature’s wild rebirth.
⠂⠄⠄⠂⠁⠁⠂⠄⠄⠂⠁⠁⠂⠄⠄⠂⠄⠄⠂⠂⠄⠄⠂⠁⠁⠂⠄⠄⠂⠁⠁
The History of Beltane
The name Beltane comes from Old Irish Beltene, meaning "bright fire" or "The fires of Bel". Some people link it to the Celtic god Belenus, a solar and healing deity, while others have drawn comparisons to Baal, a fertility god, though that idea is debated and not widely accepted.
Historically, Beltane was celebrated in Celtic regions, most notably Ireland and Scotland, as a pastoral festival. Bonfires were lit on hilltops, and cattle were driven between two of them to protect them from disease and ensure fertility. People would jump over the flames, not just for luck, but as a way to connect with sacred fire and invoke fertility, health, and courage for the coming summer season.
⠂⠄⠄⠂⠁⠁⠂⠄⠄⠂⠁⠁⠂⠄⠄⠂⠄⠄⠂⠂⠄⠄⠂⠁⠁⠂⠄⠄⠂⠁⠁
Beltane and the Fairy Realm
Beltane is a liminal time, one of the two key points in the year (along with Samhain) when the veil between our world and the Otherworld grows thin. While Samhain leans into the realm of spirits and ancestors, Beltane belongs to the fae.
It is said that on the eve of Beltane, the Fair Folk wander freely, drawn to laughter, music, and offerings left with care. In many old traditions, people avoided disturbing fairy mounds or sacred groves during this time, choosing instead to leave gifts like milk, honey, or sweet bread beneath hawthorn trees. These offerings were meant to honor the fae, invite blessings, and protect against mischief.
Wearing a crown of bluebells on Beltane Eve is said to help one see the faeries, as bluebells are sacred to them. A ring of blooming bluebells is also believed to be a favorite gathering spot for garden faeries.
⠂⠄⠄⠂⠁⠁⠂⠄⠄⠂⠁⠁⠂⠄⠄⠂⠄⠄⠂⠂⠄⠄⠂⠁⠁⠂⠄⠄⠂⠁⠁
Beltane and the Hawthorn Tree
Few trees are more sacred to Beltane than the hawthorn. Often called the “fairy tree” in Irish and Scottish folklore, it is said to guard the entrances to the Otherworld. Blooming right around May 1st, its soft white-pink blossoms carry the energy of protection, love, and the unseen.
In Celtic tradition, hawthorn trees were deeply respected as portals to the realm of the fae. During Beltane, it was common to tie ribbons or small offerings to the branches while making heartfelt wishes, not demands, but gentle hopes whispered like prayers. Damaging or cutting a hawthorn tree, especially during this sacred time, was believed to bring terrible luck or stir the wrath of the Fair Folk.
⠂⠄⠄⠂⠁⠁⠂⠄⠄⠂⠁⠁⠂⠄⠄⠂⠄⠄⠂⠂⠄⠄⠂⠁⠁⠂⠄⠄⠂⠁⠁
The Sacred Fire
Fire is the central symbol of Beltane. The festival’s original name literally refers to Bel’s fires, honoring the sun and invoking purification and fertility.
Traditionally, two large bonfires were lit at Beltane, and people, along with their animals, would walk, dance, or even leap between them for blessings, healing, and protection. In some regions, ashes from the sacred fire were scattered over fields to encourage fertility. Couples, especially newlyweds, often passed hand-in-hand through the smoke as a symbol of unity and renewal.
The fire wasn’t just a ritual, it was a living spirit. Lighting it the old way, through friction rather than matches or lighters, was seen as a sacred act, calling upon the raw elemental force of nature itself.
Even today, many Beltane celebrations honor this ancient custom through bonfires, candle magic, and fire rituals. You don’t need a blaze on a hilltop, even a single flame, lit with intention, can carry the sacred spark of Beltane into your home and heart. :D
⠂⠄⠄⠂⠁⠁⠂⠄⠄⠂⠁⠁⠂⠄⠄⠂⠄⠄⠂⠂⠄⠄⠂⠁⠁⠂⠄⠄⠂⠁⠁
The Maypole
The maypole is one of the most central symbols of modern Beltane celebrations. Though it has roots in English May Day traditions, it’s been beautifully woven into Beltane for its rich symbolism of life, fertility, and union.
The tall, phallic pole rising from the earth represents the God, masculine energy, vitality, and the spark of creation. The colorful ribbons and flowers spiraling around it, often held by dancers weaving in circles, represent the Goddess, the womb, fertility, and abundant life. Together, they form a sacred spiral: a dance of harmony between the masculine and feminine, of earth and sky, movement and stillness.
As dancers move around the maypole, their steps create a living mandala, a spell in motion, tied with laughter and bright ribbons.
The dance itself is a celebration of harmony between forces, of weaving ourselves back into the rhythm of the land.
⠂⠄⠄⠂⠁⠁⠂⠄⠄⠂⠁⠁⠂⠄⠄⠂⠄⠄⠂⠂⠄⠄⠂⠁⠁⠂⠄⠄⠂⠁⠁
Beltane x Handfasting
Beltane is also a favored time for handfasting, a traditional pagan betrothal or wedding ritual where a couple’s hands are bound together with ribbons, cords, or braided threads to symbolize their union. In ancient times, a handfasting ceremony could last for a year and a day, after which the couple had the choice to stay together or part ways. Today, many modern pagans choose Beltane as a powerful and romantic time to make such commitments, drawn to the fertile energy of the season. Handfastings are often held outdoors, in nature, near fire, under blooming trees, or surrounded by loved ones in sacred space. The vows exchanged during these rituals can be traditional or deeply personal, as the magic of the ceremony lies in the heart connection and the intention to walk beside each other, bound by love and commitment.

Glamour & Beauty Witch Tips
Pick a gesture (tossing hair, adjusting a necklace, biting lip, touching your wrist). Enchant it so that every time you do it, your glamour surges. Over time, it becomes a subconscious anchor that makes you magnetic on command.
Sip enchanted tea or coffee before going out. Stir clockwise whispering: “My words drip honey, my voice commands attention.” The enchantment slips into your tone- persuasion becomes effortless.
After applying lipstick, press your lips to paper with a sigil or your initials on it, saying: “My words are honey, my smile is spell.” Burn or keep it in your mirror drawer. Your lips become enchanted tools or persuasion.
✧ why i believe in dressing up even when no one's watching ✧
hey lovelies! ✨
there's something almost magical about putting on your favorite outfit when you have absolutely nowhere to go. i know it might sound silly to some people, why bother getting dressed up if nobody's going to see you? but seriously? those are the moments when dressing up matters most to me.
✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧
i remember last sunday morning, the rain tapping against my window, my plans completely canceled. instead of staying in my pajamas (which would have been the "logical" choice), i put on my favorite satin slip dress, did my makeup, and even added a little hair bow. my sister thought i was crazy, but there was something so powerful about choosing to look pretty just for myself.
the truth is, when we dress up only for others, we're giving away a little piece of our magic. we're saying that our beauty, our effort, our aesthetic only matters when someone else can validate it. and i don't believe that's true at all.
✧ the secret relationship with yourself ✧
when i put on a beautiful outfit just to read a book or make tea in my home, i'm nurturing the most important relationship in my life, the one with myself. it's like sending a little love letter to my soul that says, "you deserve pretty things even when no one is looking."
i've noticed that on days when i make the effort, my thoughts are different. i sit differently. i move through my space with more intention. my journal entries are more honest. my self-talk is kinder. it's like the outside beauty creates a little pathway for the inside beauty to shine through.
✧ the everyday as a special occasion ✧
we're always waiting for the "perfect moment" to wear that special dress or use the fancy perfume. but what if tuesday morning could be special too? what if making breakfast could be an occasion? what if simply existing in your body was reason enough to celebrate with your favorite clothes?
i keep a little list in my notes app of outfits that make me feel like the main character, and i've made it a personal rule not to "save" them only for special occasions. that silk blouse i love? perfect for a random wednesday. those pretty earrings i usually save for parties? they make doing laundry feel glamorous.
✧ the ripple effect of self-adornment ✧
there's this beautiful ripple effect that happens when you start dressing up for yourself. you begin to curate other parts of your life with the same loving attention. your morning routine becomes more sacred. your space becomes more intentional. you start to ask yourself, "what would make this moment feel special to me?" rather than "what's the bare minimum i need right now?"
i've found myself buying flowers more often, lighting candles on random afternoons, using the "good" dishes for ordinary meals. dressing up for no reason has taught me that everyday life deserves celebration too.
✧ a little secret between you and the universe ✧
there's something so intimate about being all dressed up with nowhere to go. it's like a little secret between you and the universe, a whispered promise that you don't need external validation to honor your own beauty.
sometimes i'll put on my favorite dress and red lipstick just to write in my journal or water my plants. nobody sees it except me (and maybe my cat), but it feels like a tiny rebellion against the idea that beauty needs an audience.
✧ the practice of showing up for yourself ✧
ultimately, dressing up when no one's watching is a practice in showing up for yourself. it's saying, "i am worth the effort, even when that effort goes unseen." it's recognizing that you are always worthy of your own attention and care.
so the next time you find yourself alone with a free afternoon, try putting on something that makes your heart flutter. not for instagram, not for compliments, just for the quiet joy of being exactly who you are, adorned exactly as you please.
you might be surprised how different your day feels when you're dressed for the occasion of simply being yourself.
xoxo, mindy
𝐒𝐈𝐌𝐏𝐋𝐄 𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐘 𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐔𝐀𝐋𝐒 — ☾𖤓
to incorporate in your routine
our daily routines and habits can really shape how our day, week, month, or even year goes! we always talk about getting ourselves into a routine or bringing on better habits for ourselves to make our loves better. people tend to struggle with routines and breaking bad habits & replacing them with good ones, so let’s talk about how we can incorporate simple rituals into our day to day! rituals don’t have to be anything crazy, and no, you don’t need elaborate spells or millions of crystals to have a ritual.
rituals can be as simple as making your morning coffee/tea, showering, doing your skincare, doing your makeup, or even getting dressed for the day! it’s all about setting your intentions during these rituals; letting good and positive energy flow through you as you go through your day to day activities!
⟢ intentional coffee/tea
i’m sure a lot of start our day off with a morning cup of coffee or tea! you wanna know a great way of setting up your manifestations and affirmations for the day? stirring it into your coffee/tea!
stir clockwise
doing things in a clockwise motion is like bringing in something; moving something towards you. so stir and mix your coffee clockwise! let that good energy flow towards you and into you!
speak as you stir
you can whisper, speak out loud, or even say your intentions/manifestations/affirmations in your head! speak to your coffee/tea with what you want for the day!
⟡ “today is filled with light and love”
⟡ “my day is going exactly as planned”
⟡ “with this drink, i am filled with warm and peaceful energy”
⟡ “with this drink, i allow good energy to flow within me”
drink up & visualize
as you drink your coffee/tea, visualize that good energy you want flowing and pouring into your body, through your heart, and within your soul.
⟡ tina’s tip: think of a color you love or a color that associates with what you’re manifesting, and imagine that your drink as that color! i believe this helps this kind of simple morning ritual tip allows for stronger manifestations of what you want for yourself and your day
⟢ sacred skincare
skincare is one of the best ways to create a ritual from! it’s the perfect time to have alone with yourself and you’re taking care of yourself on top of that! use the time you have doing your skincare to repeat affirmations and boost your confidence!
charge each product & set your intention
you can charge something like moisturizer by doing something as simple as holding it close to your heart and visualizing your energy or good energy flowing towards it!
then you can set its intended use (intention) by saying something like “this moisturizer will protect me from negative and unwanted energy”!
repeat affirmations/intentions as you apply
while you pat toner onto your face, massage moisturizer onto your skin, and dab serums underneath your eyes you can just repeat your desired affirmations while looking into a mirror!
⟡ “i am beautiful”
⟡ “i radiate angelic energy”
⟡ “i attract good fortune and positive energy”
⟡ “i am full of light and love”
any affirmation that resonates with you will work! there’s more power to your words than you may think!
set the mood
play music that makes you feel confident, light a candle that makes you happy, create lighting that makes you feel at peace; just set the mood for yourself! this will apply to other rituals i’ll go into more detail about!
don’t hesitate to create a space for yourself that makes you feel the most energized, calm, happy, or confident! while performing any of these rituals, a good space filled with the energy you want for yourself will allow your manifestations, intentions, and affirmations to be stronger!
⟢ makeup manifestations
what you do with ‘sacred skincare’, you can do with makeup! all the same steps apply!
visualization
the key thing here is to visualize with every brush stroke, every dab of foundation, and every spritz of setting spray the energy you want. really take the time to see your affirmations and/or manifestations play out for yourself as you apply makeup!
color associations
incorporate different colors into your makeup! you can make it as bold or as subtle as you’d like!
whether it’s a hint of blue on your waterline for calming energy or a bold red lip for confidence, using colors that associate with what you’re trying to manifest can help greatly!
⟡ green — money, wealth, good luck
⟡ pink — self love, emotional healing, love (in general)
⟡ red — confidence, protection, love, passion
⟡ black — protection, warding off negative energies
⟡ yellow — happiness, joy, peace
⟡ blue — calm, tranquility, focus
color associations can also apply to what clothes you wear!
final thoughts ⋆✴︎˚｡⋆
with all of these rituals, it’s important you protect your own energy in the process. working with energy can be draining and sometimes what we manifest might have the possibility of bringing in something we didn’t want.
so affirm for yourself that you’re protected; that your energy is protected from any and all unwanted things whether it be energies or even people. i’m a firm believer that what you put out into the world will come back to you twice as hard, so be careful with what you speak into existence and be specific!
protect your energy and manifest good energy. you can do both of those things with these simple rituals! self care is all about rituals; all about creating the energy you want for yourself to better yourself!
with lots of love, faustina 🌙🤍
my five favorite easy to implement skincare tips⋆.ೃ࿔*:･🫧💕
🪽 moisturizing on wet skin - when i get out of the shower i literally just tap myself with the towel, and while my skin is still wet i slather my lotion on and then some body oil. it retains the moisture and keeps me buttery soft.
🪽 using the most of my sheet masks - i use sheet masks pretty often, like 1-2x a week so i wanna get the most bang for my buck. after letting it sit on my skin, i make sure to rub the essence into my face. i take the mask and rub it on my body too, and the essence left over in the pouch i do the same.
🪽 applying skincare from thinnest to thickest - this i think is called skin flooding? but it's really really effective for glowy mochi like skin. apply the thinnest product and then end with the thickest.
🪽 changing my pillow cases regularly - those little bumps that you see on your skin? very very annoying, but you can prevent them by chanigng ur pillow cases regularly. also cleaning ur phone regularly so it's not giving u acne when u press it against ur face.
🪽 staying hydrated - how hydrated and well rested you are shows in your skin! make sure to drink enough water, electrolytes, and resting adequately every night.
New moon rituals
🔥 Cleanse Your Space
Before doing any ritual:
Burn sage, palo santo, or incense
Open windows to let stagnant energy leave.
You can also sprinkle salt at doorways and sweep it out after 10 minutes.
🔥New Moon Intention Setting
Sit quietly with a journal.
Write 3–5 intentions in the present tense as if they’ve already happened. Example: “I am open to receiving abundance.” or “I am aligned with loving, healthy relationships.”
Be specific, but keep it open to the Universe's magic.
🔥 Candle Ritual
Light a white, black, or silver candle (good for new moon energy).
As it burns, visualize your intentions being charged with energy.
Speak your intentions out loud if you feel called.
Let the candle burn safely or extinguish it respectfully.
🔥 Herbal or Moon Bath
Run a warm bath or foot soak.
Add lavender, chamomile, basil, or rose petals. (any flower in your garden)
Add a pinch of salt for cleansing.
Soak while meditating or listening to soft music. Imagine yourself being renewed.
🔥Meditation or Visualization
Sit in silence and visualize your life after your intentions have manifested.
Breathe deeply and feel the emotions you'd feel when it’s all real.
This helps imprint your desires into your subconscious.
Optional:
✨ Create a New Moon altar ✨ Wear a crystal like moonstone, labradorite, or black tourmaline ✨ Start a lunar journal for tracking manifestations each month
