Love and Beauty Face Wash 💕

Since the last post that I made went so well, I decided to share another one of my spells.

This one is to attract any love you want to have the intent of bringing and to make you feel more beautiful than you already are. So, this is to be used in the morning for the day to come!

Ingredients

Your own, favourite face wash - To keep the density of the mixture and some of the nutrients that it has to provide. Honey - Prosperity, Beauty and Healing Rose Water - To attract love + it is also incredibly good for your skin; it removes oil and acne! Cinnamon - To Increase the effectiveness of the mixture + it smells good A little container - To put the mix in.

Optional Rose Pedals - of any colour depending on the kind of love you want to attract either that’d be romantic, platonic or self-love. If you are working with a love/beauty deity, like Aphrodite, get something that would represent them. Aphrodite for example a shell. (Don’t put in the mixture though) Rose Quartz - To attract that love and beauty (AGAIN don’t put it in the mixture)

Procedure Mix all the ingredients together, put them in the container and while stirring it by moving it around in a circular motion clockwise to add positivity, putting your intent and positive thoughts into it. If you wish you can also say them out loud if that is what you want. You can also charge it under the moon; preferably a Full Moon. When you feel it’s ready, it is ready.

Apply it like a normal face wash and make sure to wash it off well, because the honey can be a bit sticky.

~Blessed be  💕

Men: Your Consent Matters Too

Fellas, listen.

You don’t have to do anything sexual that you’re not interested in. Moreover, you don’t have to explain why. “No” is a complete sentence.

Not interested in getting pegged? You don’t have to. Monogamous and not into the idea of another partner? Okay. Not sure about period sex? Cool.

And if your partner decides to question or mock your maturity or your masculinity or your sexuality because you say no? It’s time to re-evaluate the relationship. See if you don’t deserve better than that.

To me, working in necromancy means

Accepting my own death

Using the knowledge that I will someday die as motivation to get out and live the best life that I can

Engaging with history

Engaging with my heritage

Outlet for my interest in death-related activism

Engagement with the unexplained, which I might otherwise be afraid of

A commonality with all people

Knowledge that a long road will be rewarded at the end with a quiet, eternal peace

Also

Cool skulls and shit

Roses are red, that much is true, but violets are purple, not fucking blue.

The reason why exploring your “witchy” side seems so difficult isn’t…

Because spellcraft is particularly hard…or that magic is complicated.

It’s because we’ve all been systematically traumatized at an early age to ignore our creativity and sense of play.

We’ve been taught that these things only exist in kindergarten. That we must leave these things behind…but why?

No system of control and oppression wants their victims empowered.

Youve heard of suns out guns out but how about

Moons out runes out. Real occult hours

[shikyori]

You might find your god in marble pillars and leaping bonfires. You might find Them on a trip to somewhere far away, where everything seems far more impressive simply because it is new. 

But go back to your home and the little plants by the sidewalk and the tiny stream that flows only after a heavy rain. Go back to the moss on old bricks and the sunlight shining through your kitchen. Close your eyes and listen to the song the robins sing and the volumes the cicadas speak at night. Place your hand to your wrist or neck and feel your heartbeat. 

Your god is there within the tiny things of everyday life. Grand temples and museums cannot hold Them in one place. Gods are vast–They are too Much to be in just a few things. Instead, They are scattered. Instead, They are numerous. You do not need to look far away to find Them.

Another note about the personal bias: being able to remove your own biases towards yourself while reading will help you out tremendously in the long run for when you read others. It will also help you become more attuned to your deck.

Things I Think Newbie Tarot Readers Need To Know

1. You can store your decks in whatever way you choose. There’s no real right or wrong way, aside from tossing them in the trash.  2. You don’t NEED a “sacred space” to read. You can read hanging upside down on the monkey bars if you’re up for a challenge. 3. You don’t need to be a witch to read tarot. I say again, YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE A WITCH TO READ TAROT. 4. Tarot cards hold as much power as you let them. Some view them as sacred items, others view them as just a fun card game. No one else can tell you how to view them, that’s just a personal thing. 5. There is no real *set* way to read. The majority of the reading is intuition-based, so trust your gut. 6. You don’t need thousands of decks. (Though, I mean, you may want them.) The amount of decks you have/don’t have doesn’t measure your abilities. 7. Don’t get put off by people who think your reading was irrelevant in their life. Sometimes, readings take time to actually manifest. You’re doing great. Don’t let this deter you. 8. The amount of times you cleanse your deck is ENTIRELY up to you. Some people do it after every reading. Some people do it..well, maybe never. The choice is yours. 9. There is no right or wrong way to shuffle your cards. At. All. 10. Sometimes reading for yourself can be hard. It’s okay to have someone else read for you. Seriously. 11. Don’t be intimidated if you’ve just started. We’ve all started from day one.  12. You may run into some elitists, and while you shouldn’t punch them in the face, you should make sure what they say doesn’t make you uncomfortable in how you do things. This is all YOU, not THEM.  Feel free to add on to this if y’all have a little something to put.

Reposting for this absolutely beautiful corvid.

Ravens are a very powerful animal spiritually, they are highly inquisitive and intelligent, often fimdong ways to use the environment around them to their advantage. While they may eat carrion, they are not just a symbol of death. They can also represent new beginnings, intelligence, and protection.
