I need to dance in a pretty lingerie listening to obscure French music. Aphrodite wants it. Sorry I don’t make the rules.

what new year’s resolutions would the norse gods have?

push yourself to get up before the rest of the world - start with 7am, then 6am, then 5:30am. go to the nearest hill with a big coat and a scarf and watch the sun rise.

push yourself to fall asleep earlier - start with 11pm, then 10pm, then 9pm. wake up in the morning feeling re-energized and comfortable.

get into the habit of cooking yourself a beautiful breakfast. fry tomatoes and mushrooms in real butter and garlic, fry an egg, slice up a fresh avocado and squirt way too much lemon on it. sit and eat it and do nothing else.

stretch. start by reaching for the sky as hard as you can, then trying to touch your toes. roll your head. stretch your fingers. stretch everything.

buy a 1L water bottle. start with pushing yourself to drink the whole thing in a day, then try drinking it twice.

buy a beautiful diary and a beautiful black pen. write down everything you do, including dinner dates, appointments, assignments, coffees, what you need to do that day. no detail is too small.

strip your bed of your sheets and empty your underwear draw into the washing machine. put a massive scoop of scented fabric softener in there and wash. make your bed in full.

organise your room. fold all your clothes (and bag what you don’t want), clean your mirror, your laptop, vacuum the floor. light a beautiful candle.

have a luxurious shower with your favourite music playing. wash your hair, scrub your body, brush your teeth. lather your whole body in moisturiser, get familiar with the part between your toes, your inner thighs, the back of your neck.

push yourself to go for a walk. take your headphones, go to the beach and walk. smile at strangers walking the other way and be surprised how many smile back. bring your dog and observe the dog’s behaviour. realise you can learn from your dog.

message old friends with personal jokes. reminisce. suggest a catch up soon, even if you don’t follow through. push yourself to follow through.

think long and hard about what interests you. crime? sex? boarding school? long-forgotten romance etiquette? find a book about it and read it. there is a book about literally everything.

become the person you would ideally fall in love with. let cars merge into your lane when driving. pay double for parking tickets and leave a second one in the machine. stick your tongue out at babies. compliment people on their cute clothes. challenge yourself to not ridicule anyone for a whole day. then two. then a week. walk with a straight posture. look people in the eye. ask people about their story. talk to acquaintances so they become friends.

lie in the sunshine. daydream about the life you would lead if failure wasn’t a thing. open your eyes. take small steps to make it happen for you.

This is all really good advice for dealing with long term depression and anxiety. It’s not gonna magically cure you, but I’ve pushed myself to incorporate a few of these things into my day to day routine and it helps

I’ve been experimenting in the kitchen with different tea ingredients, holding a desire to create my own signature tea. Here’s my favorite combination: my Floral Goddess tea! The fragrance reminds me of a fairy garden, and the ingredients remind me of a potion Aphrodite would drink herself. Enjoy! 🥀

cranky because you haven’t had any prophetic dreams to aid you on your quest aren’t you

even death has a heart.

Hello, sweet ones - ♡ Depending on your personal preferences and unique path, *any* time of the year is great for practicing Magick, especially when you feel strongly drawn towards doing so! As such, please do take this post with a grain (or pinch!) of salt. ☺️ It is simply a list which I hope inspires those who are privy to or interested in incorporating certain elements + energies into their craft; specifically in regards to the times of the year. Now, then… ♡ Here are the twelve calendar months, and which vibrancies + practices each one has always seemed to pull me towards (based on their respective seasons, celebrations, elemental correspondences, etc.) I hope these ideas inspire you to carry out your own little rituals and divination tactics in more ways than one! Happy Magick Making! 🕯✨

• January: Acknowleding your deepest inner needs, and getting in better touch with the root of your spirituality. Welcoming one’s individuality through the process of self-discovery and instinctual magick (seeking out your path’s purpose, etc.)

• February: Focusing on matters of the heart, and unfolding what it means to be a guiding light for others whilst also showing sympathy to yourself. Cleansing, renewal, and youthful energies. Preparation and patience as the spirit begins to re-emerge.

• March: Noticing the ‘little things,’ demonstrating more appreciation towards the things you have, connecting to both the Earth and yourself through deeper breathing. Centering, stabilizing, inner reflection. Plant magick, second chances, and tension-releasing stretches.

• April: Believing in your passions and ideas well enough to really spark them to life; working on realligning your chakras. Reevaluation, deep introspection, and unblocking disregarded potential. Dream magick + manifestation.

• May: Remaining consistent in the reaching of one’s current desires, striving towards them with logic and realism. Harmonizing one’s ‘inner fire’ with grounding. Relationship and sexual studies. Paying special attention to communicatory matters, and doing so with an emphasis on unity and understanding.

• June: Trying not to dwell upon nostalgic images too consistently (namely, those which evoke much sadness or disconnect.) Soul-searching and spiritual enlightenment through cleansing spells + the organization of both your personal plans and your physical spaces.

• July: Embracing vibrancy, creating fresh memories, and expressing support in relation to unification + social issues. Emotional understanding through water-based magick; living in the moment.

• August: Maintaining a keen focus on your blessings. Fire and harvest magick, gratitude journaling, and pendulum-based divination. Self-sacrifice, tarot spreads, the acknowledgement of balance, and future planning.

• September: Winding down your energies and taking the time to ’re-set.’ The “Spring Cleaning” of Summer’s fading days, making way for seasonal transitions. Mental grounding, beautifying + harmonizing your altar space, and slowing your roll.

• October: Opening untouched doors with a fresh wave of inspiration + embracing that jolt of electric energy taking over the air. Creativity, curiosity, spirit connections, protective practices, and harnessing your psychic abilities.

• November: Delving into new projects with a fresh perception and a powerful sense of self. Passion, transformation, and preparation. Working heavily with one’s respective familiar, favoured deities, and/or spiritual guides.

• December: Celebrating the year’s accomplishments whilst preparing for a clean slate. Building spiritual strength, and believing in the possibilities which may be held within the forthcoming days. Gearing up your soul and fine-tuning your psychic senses, all in preparation to do what ~you~ really want to do.

westerners are obsessed with the idea of happiness as if it’s a constant state of being. happiness comes in moments. you dont “achieve” happiness. you experience it along with every other emotion on the spectrum. if you spend your life chasing this constructed idea of happiness you will never even be remotely content. work on being whole and feeling everything while increasing the happy moments. stop trying to be a “happy person.” just be a person.

The “three-fold-law” is bullcrap and thats not what it means.

YES the title’s inflammatory and trust me this isnt a bash against wicca as a religion. Just Bear with me PLEASE

As much as ive been loving researching wicca (despite simply being a secular witch atm) i have a huge gripe with neo-wicca as it stands in relation to their thoughts on cause and effect.

The “law” started with one comment from Gerald Gardner’s novel, High Magic’s Aid,

“Mark well, when thou receivest good, so equally art bound to return good threefold.”

Which actually means the opposite of “the three fold law” its saying when you recieve good things you’re obligated to do good onto others and the world as an act of gratitude and appreciation for what you’ve recieved.

because of this misinterpretation a poem was published in a magazine back in 1975 entitled “the wiccan rede” which isn’t the rede btw, the rede is just “an it harm non do what ye will” which is meant as a guidance to help you think about your actions, not a law. Because of that one poem we’re here with the obviously incorrect notion that absolutely everything returns 3 times as bad which im sorry but look at the world we live in with horrid people getting the best and the 1% and good people in ditches. No.

The wiccan rede isnt a law and wiccan never had a Threefold law of return until it got to the public and everyone misinterpreted simple lines of wisdom and teaching as laws because they were so used to the bible and commandments.

Furthermore, elder wiccans realised presenting the rede as law would abate the fear of curses or evil from the uninitiated public.

This is a hot topic today, it must be in the air.

Wowza ya learn smth new everyday….

Minor add on is that the 70s was also a large time where hindu and Buddhist teachings were assimilated into “new age” leading many (mostly american) covens teaching about karma as it was fascinating and assumedly made sense to them.

I don’t bash the belief of karma though i dont hold it. Its simply the claim that its an old wiccan law as old as the rede. (Or even that the rede is a law)

I never believed in it anyway, it never made sense, but good to know it was never a thing in the first place.

Also the way Wiccans/Neo-Wiccans teach karma is not accurate. Karma (essentially) relates to how actions in this life will reflect how an individual is reincarnated. It is NOT a “what you put out in the world comes back to you”. Karma has nothing to do with THIS life.

And ALSO let’s remember Gardner himself was perfectly happy to throw curses if he felt he had a good enough reason. To this day, most initiate Wiccans, especially of the more traditional sects, generally don’t believe the Rede is a law (that’s literally not even what the word means), or in threefold return of all energies. Because… that was never actually part of the religion.

So in short, dear Rede-thumping, curse-shaming sub-type of neo-Wiccans:

Please stop shouting at people.
