Practical Magic (1998) dir. Griffin Dunne

Always throw salt over your left shoulder.

Keep rosemary by your garden gate.

Add pepper to your mashed potatoes.

Plant roses and lavender for luck.

And fall in love... whenever you can.

As Above, So Below: Hermetic Law

This quote is part of what is called Hermetic Law, formed long ago by Hermes Trismegistus. It comprises the basic operating principles and laws of the universe.

“As above, so below” deals primarily with the concept of cause and effect. This phrase was originally intended to reference the correlation between the stars and what was happening on earth. It is referencing human beings in the sense that we are also made up of the same material as stars are, thereby making us and them one in the same. Everything that happens is privy to the laws of karma, which states that there are consequences for actions. This ultimately creates a butterfly effect.

“As within, so without” is all about the universal law of attraction and correspondence. It says that everything is energy and it urges you to mind your thoughts. Your thoughts eventually take on a physical form in the outside world. The actions you end up taking as a result of what you have thought are the types of experiences you will end up attracting, thus creating your reality.

“As the universe, so the soul” expresses the idea that everything which is without (outside of you, in other words) is already within you. It says that because you have a soul, you are a living, breathing expression of the universe. Your cosmic blueprint is entirely unique and cannot be duplicated. Anything that lives contains a soul and has the energy of the cosmos flowing through it.

Ways to feel connected to nature in times of quarantine

🌿 spend as much in direct and indirect sunlight as you can

🌿 stay near your window and keep it open as much as possible, breath in the air from outside

🌿 watch nature documentaries and movies that show a lot of nature. If you have Netflix I strongly recommend Arietty (and all other studio ghibli movies)

🌿 drink a lot, always. Try some loose tea if you can - not only will the warmth be good for your mental health, the leaves will give your monkey brain a stronger sense of accomplishment

🌿 look at your houseplants, as weird as that sounds, and eat fresh

🌿 paint or stitch animals, flowers, beaches, whatever you need!

🌿 look around online for natural sounds! Birds singing, waves, leaves rustling

🌿 read physical books, believe me

🌿 change your scenery. Hang pictures of nature, paint or print them out, or hang some leaves 

🌿 meditate on nature and visualze the heck out of it. Try imagining moss growing on your walls and a stream running from your door to the window 

🌿 take a shower imagingin rain or a bath  imagining being in the ocean 

🌿 light some candles and look at the moving flames, esp in the evening
