Idk who needs to hear this but — just because you were okay mixing your medicine with herbs, drugs or psychedelics does not mean other people can also do this. You are not qualified to give people medical advice. Leave that up to the professionals.

“I drank [insert herbal tea here] while on [insert medicine here] and it was fine. You’ll be okay too.”

“I smoke weed all the time while on [insert medicine here] so I’m sure it’ll be fine with [insert different medicine here]. You’ll be okay.”

“I’ve never heard of [insert herb or drug here] interacting with medications, you’ll be okay.”

No. Stop. Please talk with your doctor, if you’re on medication, before mixing it with any herbal teas, drugs or alcohol.

you are the most important tool ❤️

10 Prompts for Shadow Work

🌒 🌕 🌘

Keep track of your feelings from day to day. Record how you felt and try to pin point why you felt certain ways in different situations. How could you habe handled it better? Why did you react the way you did?

Write a letter to your past self, or your future self. Then break down your thoughts on why you said the things you did. Address any emotions that pop up during this process and record them. Why did you feel that way? What events in your life made you right what you did?

Are you living true to yourself? Are you changing who you are based on who you're around? What are those changes? Why do you make those changes?

Are you holding on to something or someone that you should let go of? Why do you hold on to it? What are steps you can take to let go of it?

What are your fears? Your REAL fears not just spiders or heights. Why are you afraid of those things? Are there any steps you can take to lessen that fear?

How do you treat the people in your life? Is there anything you could do for them to better your relationships? Are you being a positive, healthy influence on their life or are you being a toxic one? If toxic, what changes are you going to make to your behavior to stop being toxic?

What do you wish other people knew about you? Why do you keep it hidden?

Are you healing from past traumas and or incidents or have you just distracted yourself? What healthy ways could you address unhealed trauma in order to move to a healthier place?

Make a list of people you don't like. Why don't you like them? Are they actually bad or do you see bad parts of yourself reflecting in them and that's why you don't like them? Be honest.

Write down everything that happens to you in a week that makes you feel bad in any way. Examine this list and ask why certain events make you feel bad.

BONUS: Write down what you believe about a variety of things (from religion and karma all the way down to relationships and your career path). Why do you believe those things? Are these feelings set in stone or are you willing to accept alternate views? Why or why not?

Remember Shadow work is all about unlocking your subconscious. This helps you understand yourself better which is important for many different aspects in witchcraft, and your star seed will thank you for it.

HOW TO SPOT TRAUMAS AND FEARS IN A BIRTH CHART pt.1 🦇☕️

Pay attention  to the 8th HOUSE:

The 8th house is all about fears, taboo, the dark side of the human mind and what’s hidden. It’s connected with Scorpio and associated with Pluto, the planet of regeneration and rebirth, it suggests that we’re all able to find the key for heal our traumas and win over our fears.

The Love Witch (2016)

[daydreamer23]

people seriously undervalue the sea cottage aesthetic. Like making your own sea salt, collecting shells, making warm soups on stormy nights, adventures?!! warm sand? Beach picnics?! Like cmon guys.

Here is the tarot reading for today!

Mind: You are recovering from where you felt you were lacking and your confidence has been renewed in a sense.

Body: Your body is directly connected to your intuition, so listen and be aware of what your body is saying. The unconscious mind dwells within tuned body.

Spirit: Page of wands - Your soul is on the brink of a new vision. Do not hinder its journey for you’ll find that it leads to new discovery and enthusiasm.

In regards to research:

Don’t accept witchcraft books for history. Read history texts. 

Don’t accept witchcraft books for mental processes. Read psychology and biological texts. 

Don’t accept witchcraft books for mythology. Don’t accept witchcraft books for religion. Read original texts and papers written researchers credited in their fields. 

Use witchcraft books for witchcraft, and witchcraft alone. That is what they specialize in and what they are published for. If it branches out into a different subject, be suspicious and research the topic later.
