I am so happy with how this portrait of my OC Tanya came out! I really wanted to do a new portrait with skulls and flower elements and even though the hydrangeas could have been a bit more « detailed », I am still liking the overall vibes of this piece.

I have been struck with some weird art block for about a week, not being able to finish a real piece or anything… But I think I managed to get out of that momentarily art slump now ☺️And I am finally back with a more familiar color palette 💜

Eggshells and Cascarilla Powder

I've been researching herb and ingredient correspondences and have been seeing conflicting information on powdered eggshells- also known as Cascarilla Powder and its roots in Hoodoo tradition. I know Hoodoo is a closed practice, but I wanted to see if any poc or Hoodoo practicing witches may have any insight as to whether or not a non-poc witch could incorporate eggshells in their craft. Any information would be much appreciated!

Im trying to learn as much as I can and the last thing I want is to appropriate a closed practice. I totally respect and understand the reasons for closing these practices to white witches.

Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you all 💜💜💜

Sooooooo, if you call yourself a witch and you’re black you can’t do hoodoo...?? Since when?? Since when did “witch” ever just mean “witch”?? Do y’all know how wrong and kind of damaging that is?? Don’t get hotep in the black witchcraft community y’all...

my moon cycle ritual

As I have begun to grow into my spiritual practice, I am coming to terms with the fact that my body is an earthly creature. My mind is increasingly in tune with the changes of the moon, and with the movements of the stars and planets. And so, I figured it’s high time I started a ritual to honor the cycles of my mind and body.

Yoga teaches me that I am not the mind, and I am not the body. So, there’s no better way to practice discrimination between the physical, mental, and spiritual than by focusing deeply on each, and observing them with a microscopic lens.

I create these rituals on new and full moons, taking some holy time to honor and reflect on my spiritual and physical journey. The way I understand it, full moons are about releasing. The moment the moon has reached its peak fullness, it immediately begins to wane, until there is nothing left. Then, the moment the moon becomes empty, it immediately begins to fill itself, waxing until it is once again full and ready to release again.

I try to align my intentions with the cycles of the moon. This is taking the path of least resistance. It just seems easier to go with the flow of nature, acknowledging that since everything in this existence is interrelated, most likely my receptiveness to manifest and my ability to release will be heightened during appropriate moon times.

So, on these special days, I observe my whole being in three ways:

• To observe my body and its physical form, I take a spiritual bath complete with 11 herbs traditionally used for ritual cleansing and bathing. I may practice some yoga, lay in the grass at my favorite park, or do whatever my body is inclined to do.

• To observe my mind, I meditate. I also set long periods of time for journaling with a theme of either manifesting something or letting something go. I also reflect on the lesson the previous moon cycle has brought to my attention. Since hunger is part of the energetic body, along with the mind, I incorporate fasting into my moon ritual. Starting after dinner the night before, and ending the morning after the moon day, my fasts typically last about 36 hours.

• To observe Spirit, I’ll sing songs to my ancestors, make an offering, dance, have some magic tea, and burn lots of incense. I usually take time to clear the space with palo santo smoke, ringing of a singing bowl, and sprinkling holy water around.

So far, I have been practicing this ritual for about three moon cycles. I have noticed heightened sensitivity to Spirit, and receptiveness I don’t usually get between moons. For the past two cycles, I’ve awaken after my day of fasting with memories of incredible out-of-body dreams.

I have also learned some of the most difficult lessons in subduing the ego, being more of a servant to others, and getting out of my own way. Most of all, I feel intensely blessed by the ability to be able to take time on moon days, even if they fall on a week day. I am fortunate to be able to change my schedule or plan ahead if need be.

If you’re reading this at the time of release, here’s to a big, beautiful, bright full moon. If you’re reading this and planning to manifest something great, here’s to a deep and dark new moon, full of endless possibilities.

Stay in love, my friends.
