BASE LOCATION POLL

Hey gamers! I need your help! I've got two options for where I'm going to build my main base on SpoonieCraft, and I'd like YOU to help me decide which one I should choose!

For those of you who haven't seen the streams, my theme is "rickety", so the plan for my main base is something built precariously on the side of a cliff. There will also be something sizeable on top of the cliff, but the details about that are going to be a surprise (stay tuned for episode one)!

The first option is a relatively small cliff that stands on its own very close to the starter village. It's closer to the scale I was originally envisioning for my base, and I like that it is close to other people. The cliff itself almost looks like a small volcano, and there's a hole through the bottom on the right that could be used for something cool.

The second option is further away and much larger than what I had originally planned, but it is situated in the middle of the ocean and has sheer cliffs, which makes it a striking sight as you approach. It also has a huge lush cave on the inside, and an old growth pine taiga on top.

Although the first option is much closer to what I had originally planned, the second option is very striking, and I've heard that a few people were looking forward to seeing me build on a larger scale on this SMP, so I am willing to consider the second option if people want me to build there.

So... where do you think I should base?

Hi, I'm Aspen!

and I'm an aspiring Minecraft YouTuber! Welcome to my blog, I hope you find something you like!

Here's my channel and channel trailer:

Aspen

Hi, I'm Aspen! I love playing Minecraft and sharing that joy with others!

This blog is where I'll keep you all up-to-date on my latest videos and plans for the channel, as well reblogging any fanart and memes that come my way.

Right now, I've just joined a brand new SMP called SpoonieCraft, where I stream weekly and post videos (hopefully) monthly. You can learn more about this SMP by checking out our trailer!:

I was also in a previous SMP called HyperFix (formerly AuDHD), where my friends and I built according to specific themes, ran events, and had a lot of laughs.

If you're looking for something more dramatic, I have also posted two seasons of the Obviois SMP, where my friends and I play several games based on the Life Series/Traffic SMP (created by Grian)!

Alongside these two SMPs, I also post miscellaneous short videos from various other servers I'm in, and I have a few longer videos in the works right now as well. I look forward to sharing it all with you!

Everyday Magick Tips for Spoonie Witches

Some of us witches have very low energy levels and that makes it difficult to cast complex spells or commit to long rituals. Here is a list of things you can do from the comfort of your own home to increase magick in your life!

Make showers or baths a time of cleansing. Imagine a white light coming from the faucet and filling your body. Let the water purify your body and mind.

Use a heat pad or ice pack for bodily pain. You can make your own heating pad by filling a small sack with rice and microwaving it. You can make a quick ice pack by putting some ice in a dish towel and getting it damp. 

Meditate whenever you can. If you can’t get out of bed in the morning, take that time to breathe. 

Keep your crystals near your bed or couch so you can reach them easily. Breathe into them for relaxation or an energy boost.

Keep a clear quartz nearby. When you feel physical or emotional pain, breathe deeply. Inhale the white light of the quartz and exhale the pain into the quartz. Let it absorb the negativity. Be sure to cleanse it regularly. 

Buy electric candles. It may be too much work to tend to a real flame. Substitute your mood lighting with electricity. 

Do divination in bed. Do not worry about going through a whole ritual to read your tarot or oracle deck. Just lay the cards out next to you and interpret them while sitting or laying down. 

Practice mindfulness if this is something that is comfortable to you. Mindfulness is often an uncomfortable process for people with ADHD so do not worry if it is not for you. Otherwise, be aware of the food you are eating and the air you are breathing. 

Practice gratitude. Give thanks to your food, your home, your deities, and the people in your life. Increase the positivity that surrounds you. 

Keep a digital book of shadows. If writing is difficult for you or if it isn’t worth getting up to get paper and pens, try digital. Use your phone or computer to write all of your witchy notes in. 

Monitor your energy levels. There is physical, emotional, and spiritual energy. You should take a few moments throughout the day to check in with your energy levels and recognize what you can and can’t do. Don’t push yourself past your limits. 

Create energy cords. Connect your spirit to an outside energy source like the sun or a charged crystal. Use this to boost your spiritual energy. 

Use grounding techniques to deal with pain or anxiety. Bring yourself to a more peaceful reality. Focus on your breathing and your connection to the earth.

Spoonie Witch Tip #6

You do not have to be active to be a witch. If other witches cast more spells than you, that’s okay, you are still a witch. Your practice does not need to be every day or every week. Do what you can when you can and don’t worry about comparing yourself to others. Anyone who steps into the witchy world can be a witch.

Spoonie Witch Tip #5

Monitor your spiritual energy levels. Be careful practicing when you are low energy. Pay attention to your body and its needs. When you feel you do not have the energy, do not cast large spells or it will drain you even further. Find spells that are not as draining or wait until you have more energy.
