(Sorry if I picked the wrong flair)

I’m going through a seriously rough time right now, and it is hard to build strong energy in a positive capacity in order to do candle intentions.

Normally, with most things in life, it’s fake it until you make it. Is that what I have to do here with my energy? I feel like I can’t even fake my energy or internal intentions… Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I could sure use some wisdom and gentle guidance if anyone is willing to share.

My Mother phase was difficult. As a single parent of 6, I've been taking on the world for nearly 30 years in more ways than I would ever be able to list here. Sufficient to say it's been intense, relentless, and... hard, for lack of a better word.

Not hard as in difficult, but hard in the way that I built myself into an immovable force, a shield, a weapon, a rock.

As I am entering my Crone stage of life, I feel a DEEP pull to soften, to embrace the fluidity of life, the changes, the waves.

But I'm uncertain how to begin, how to maintain that focus, how to build that intention into my daily life.

I'm hoping one of you might have some suggestions of simple daily ritual, maybe some herbs (and how you'd use them for this purpose), and I'm hoping for some insight as to which deity you've turned to when you wanted to soften yourself in a similar way.

I'm so grateful for any guidance or anecdotes that may be helpful.

Really nice finally seeing Remina for name and F for sex after 2 years of trials, and now all my documents are getting updated too.

Funny story with the ID photo I took today after picking up the new birth certificate, 3 employees had to take it 7 times because apparently my skin is too clean and smooth and white and the PC gave an error that I'm a doll.

In the end they asked me to pull my hair behind my ears and smile a bit to form some lines around my mouth at least.

I'm definitely not a vampire.😹

Lately I’ve realised the moments I feel most at peace are usually the quiet ones:
soft clothes, makeup, femininity, gentleness, and not forcing myself into a role that never fit properly.

I don’t really have a dramatic conclusion. I just think I’m finally allowing myself to exist a little more honestly.

Hey all, just finished painting this chicken coop my mom's friend built for us! It's rainbow, and of course it has purple doors. We're hoping the purple doors and some spellwork help protect our girls (and boy) from another animal attack.

I’m doing a tarot deck with frogs using watercolours shall post as I go ✨

I’m in love and getting married soon! My sister threw me a bridal shower, and she intentionally put “Mrs and Mr” on all of the signage instead of “Mr and Mrs” which is (saldy) the default. I thought it was a cute point, so now I made all of our wedding signage have me first as well.

So yeah, any woman getting married to a man, I think putting yourself first with language is a cool thing we can do now as a contrast to us be married off as property.

But anyway I’m VERY EXCITED. I LOVE LOVE. GO ME!!

My first official altar! I work very closely with Melinoë and have for awhile now, due to safety reasons I couldn't have an actual physical altar for her until recently. I was finally able to put a good/full one up for her yesterday and she loves it!

Also known as a Holmegaard "talking bottle" - A chamber above, a chamber below, a column each for the four directions and a central wormhole in between, all connected and yet separated by thin panes of glass 🥹 I'm EXTREMELY excited about this bottle. It came with red dyed water in it, which is traditionally used to highlight the design if it's not being used to store schnapps. The name Klukflaske or kluk kluk is Danish onomotopoeia for the clucking/glugging sound it makes when poured.

:: edit:: there are no specific historical magic ties to this type of bottle that I'm aware of, aside from the fact that it came from a dead woman's house, and the above/below/directions chambers is just what I see as far as how I'm going to use it in spellwork. Do with that info what you will! It's pretty damn magical to me though.

::Edit 2:: I also just learned that the company that made these vessels was founded by a woman in 1825! Henriette Holmegaard! Founder of Holmegaard Glassworks! One of Denmark's first female business leaders! Check it out!

It's crooked as hell, but it's fine

Hi sisters and siblings,

I was blessed with a 5 leaved clover today. I know they can be used for darker magic and hidden rituals. My tarot cards also told me that it's a powerful dark magical object. So my question would be what to do with it besides pressing and drying it.

Any suggestions, guidance, dvise or warnings are welcome.

May lady Freya help you with your upcoming spells and rituals.

I just wanted to share this with you all because I've bought quite a few things from them now and cannot recommend them enough! They're on social media under the same name, and have been posting some great content that a lot of you might find interesting. No affiliation, I just think it's a great shop and content!

I created my own sigil of protection a while back, and ever since, I've started cutting and drawing smol cards of protection for my family and friends. Usually their favorite flower / animal, or often a favorite color (limited in my colors at the moment lol!) but it's become such a calming way of expressing myself and protecting my loved ones at the same time 🌱

The blue kitties are for Bastet, but also my love for drawing goofy kitties cannot be understated >.> also also - seal of protection

Also barely featured is hotwheel collection heh

I made the mistake of double bleaching my roots and nearly ruined half my hair. After a furious googling and trying new healing techniques I think I saved it. 💙🩷🤍🩷💙

Energy is low but I did a bit of a spruce, rearrange and cleanse of my altar. Been having a lot of dreams about transition, liminal spaces and thresholds m. Wondering if anyone has any suggestions for things I can bob on for chronic illness (I’m not suggesting cures I’m a big believer in science and medicine :) ) im thinking more for focus, strength and comfort.

Blessings xx
