Using What We Have 🌿

Some of us are blessed to have the ability to sport all the beautiful items that we bought, or found along our journey to Utilize in out practice. Many are not, and that’s perfectly fine. There’s something beautiful, and poetic about letting nature give you exactly what you need to practice, heal, and show devotion in any way your path leads you. Devoting the time into studying your surroundings will land you with a wide variety of things for your craft. It will also make you a wonderful expert on magic in your area. I am lucky enough to walk into my back yard to get swamp mud, Lilly pads, Spanish moss, and so many other things to use in my practice. Being able to swim in it when the moon is full! Be a scavenger that uses what nature gives us. Be blessed, and stay beautiful! For those who like me are close to a big, or a swamp have a take on my mud mask!

Gather your mud, or swamp mud from your source. (Be sure to ask for blessings before you take- and give thanks for what had been provided.)

Dry out your mud- this can take a few days to create a fully dried mix. You can quicken this process by using an oven, but I prefer to let the sun do its thing, and provide beautiful warm soothing energy into my swamp mud!

Once dry crush, break, and smash down into a thin powder. This holds well in a dry climate in a sealed jar if you’d like to save some for later. (Feel free to sift if you’d like a powder like feel)

Add lemon juice, water, oil (I spring for rose oil, and vitamin E oil, but you can always get creative adding that work best with your needs.)

Apply to your face, and neck- avoid eyes, and mouth. Swamp mud is wonderful for the skin, but tastes horrid.

Let dry, and then clean with warm water, and soap. Second rinse, and clean if needed.

*Please make sure to take caution if you have sensitive skin. When using local dirt, and mud make sure that you are taking proper precautions to not utilize mud that may contain harmful bacteria, parasites, and or pesticides. Use the drying process to inspect your mud carefully.

*Please consult with your primary care provider if you come across any skin irritation, or discomfort with your mask.

one thing i have learned is that a non insignificant number of dudes use the forest preserves to play pursuit rape games with their enslaved bisexual wives and i won’t lie, it’s a bummer

Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them.

Luke 12:22-24

Look around you, look at how nature provides for and nurtures us. She provides conifer to us so we don't get scurvy in the winter. She supplies fish when we're off the land. She lets plants blossom and animals migrate at different times so we are never without the miraculous gifts of life.

Mother nature gives us everything we need; medicine, clothing, shelter and food, and asks nothing but a reciprocal relationship from us.

And we can take care of her, too. The waste we dispell is food for another. The plants we pull up or burn down provide room for new growth. We bring small joys to reindeer who love our urine and elephants who think we're as cute as puppies. And each of us returns our bodies to the earth eventually; we will provide for another.

We can repair the relationship between humans and our environment. We can nurse our sick mother earth back to health.

I only ingest chemicals. If an ingredients list has things I can pronounce, it's not welcome in my home. I also only eat animal products if they were raised on chemicals in a low-oxygen environment. If it's good enough for a yeti crab, it's good enough for me.
