So You Wanna Be A Witch?!?!

[calendula-and-thyme]

Hello! First of all, I'm very grateful for the warm welcome here on Tumblr. Special thanks to @precious-flower-babe for helping with my language. Go follow them! Yesterday I went shopping with my friend. I bought mostly arts&crafts stuff, but I also scored some witchy related things and I wanted to share them with you guys!

So, what have I bought? 🔮Green glass bottle from "Chinese store" - it's kinda like a polish dollar store. It has a plastic cork with fairy lights attached to it, so the bottle is kinda like a lantern. I want to use it for my calendula oil (I'll share my recipe with you when I'll be making it in summer!) since it's prettier than the one I have from last year, so I'll probably use a wine cork instead of the plastic one. It cost 15 PLN (like 4USD). It was a little expensive for that store, but I felt an instant connection to it and I had to buy it.  I really like it! 🔮From the same store, a small stone Ganesha sculpture for 4 PLN ( around 1USD). I don't really work with deities, but I felt good vibes from it, so now it's standing on my shelf giving me blessings for my day. It also reminds me of good times I spent with International Society for Krishna Consciousness. 🔮Still Chinese store - blue candles! They were only 1PLN each (0.30 USD!). I love blue, for me, it symbolizes peace and creativity, which I both need lately! Also, one can never have too many candles. 🔮And that's why I bought another candle! It's from Action - it's kinda like supermarket meet craft store and only leaves sweets foodwise. It cost 4.50PLN (a little over a dollar). It's the pastel pink one. It's so pretty and its colour reminds me of rose quartz. 🔮Probably my new favourite thing in the world - Slavic Mythology! Okay, so I'm absolutely in love with polish folklore and myths and demons and gods, but it's a little problematic since we don't have many resources on it. It's not as well preserved like Greek or Roman or Egyptian mythology. But those authors here, Jakub Bobrowski and Mateusz Wrona, they took everything we know and tried to recreate the original myths. I've already started it and I'm totally in love. Everything we do is tied to our Slavic past. I'll probably write a short review of this book when I'll finish and maybe I'll try to retell some myths to you since the book is not available in English. Would you like that? Let me know! Also, the pictures are great. The artist is Magdalena Boffito. They are beautiful and very Slavic. They fir the book perfectly! The book is from Empik (polish chain bookstore) and cost 40 PLN (11USD). 🔮The last thing it's actually a Mothers Day gift for my mum (we celebrate it on May 26th in Poland) and it's an Insect Hotel! We really wanted that for our garden so all the little bugs could have a safe place to live with us. I'll make sure to write a longer post on it when we'll hang it. I'll try to take some photos of bugs living there, too! It's from the same store that pink candle is from and it cost 21.40 PLN (little under 6USD).

Everything together costed me around 87 PLN (little under 24 USD). Not bad!

That would be all for today! Thank you all for reading. This blog is making my creativity flowing and all your blogs are amazing too! I feel very inspired by them! Let me know if you liked the witchy haul and if you'd like me to post more of them in the future. Also, is it okay to post prices in USD?  I assumed we all have an idea of what amount a dollar is so it would be easier to imagine how much I spent on each thing :)

Pulled Oko and a foil Piper of the Swarm in the same pack! Then pulled Garruk plus his emblem and a wolf token (different packs and not as important as just Garruk himself, but nice to have on hand)
