As long as you don't shoplift at my store while I'm on shift, you'll be alright.

I Had My Interview!

The woman interviewing me seemed to like what I said, and at the end of it she said I was bubbly, outgoing, and very approachable. I feel pretty good about it. I have to wait for a second interview, should be at least a week.

For the Dollar Tree drama, they haven't heard anything yet. It's not okay but I'm doing my best.

I will keep doing my witchy things, and being positive.

Quick update: I was terminated. I am not surprised but bitter.

Update on Work Status

After resubmitting my statement, and the company reviewing it, I should know by Wednesday or Thursday whether or not I'm terminated.

But if I am, that's okay, I sat up my scared space, lit my tall yellow candle, centered myself, and did some Tarot reading yesterday. It was positive. Then of course today. I sat down and filled out a few job applications today, got an interview scheduled for this week already. Tomorrow, I'm going to finish putting my outfit together.

I feel better about all of this. I'm still mad about how they are handling the situation and how it doesn't seem fair for everyone affected. But I will persevere.

Sun Magick

What Is A Sun Magick?

The Sun (also called Sol) is the one and only star in our solar system. Throughout the time almost every culture has worshiped the Sun as either a God or Goddess. Ancient Shamans used the power of the sun to heal the mind. The Sun is associated with life, health and healing. The light of guidance and illumination is an important magickal symbol. Solar energy helps you center in your own power, like the center of the solar system. Planet Earth orbits around the Sun. Other bodies that orbit the Sun include other planets, asteroids, meteoroids, comets and dust. Generally, the primary stellar body around which an object orbits is called its "sun", and stars in a multiple star system are referred to as the "suns" of bodies in that system.

Sun Phases

Sunrise

when the sun wakes up and peers over the horizon. This phase is all about new beginnings, changes, health, employment, renewal, resurrection and finding the right direction.

The Morning

the sun is growing in strength, so it brings the magical power for growth, positive energy, resolutions, courage, harmony, happiness, strength, activity, building projects and plans, prosperity and expansion of ideas.

High Noon

When the sun reaches its peak in the sky at midday – work magic for health, physical energy, wisdom and knowledge. It is also a good time to pop your tools or crystals out that need charging. (Note: some crystals can fade in strong sunlight so check first before putting them out).

Afternoon

This is a time to work in your communication, clarity, travel, exploration and professional matters

Sunset

As the sun takes itself off down below the horizon, work magic for removing depression, stress and confusion, letting go, releasing or finding out the truth of a situation.

Sun Water

Sun water is very similar to moon water. But rather than being charged by the moon, it’s charged by the sun. Sun water can be especially useful for helping boost the energy of a spell, to help an intention grow, and to cleanse.

Instructions:

Get a glass bottle

Fill it with any type of water.

Leave the bottle with water out in the sunlight or shade (indirect sunlight) during any time of day and for your preferred amount of time.

Tip Jar

I Must Not Give Up

Dollar Tree put me on suspension because of a robbery/scam. We followed protocol but somehow I still feel like I'm going to get canned. But at only 9.75, come Monday I'll just hit the ground running and start filling out job applications. I already have seen two potentials.

Tomorrow, I will clean the house, do some self-reflecting, and maybe some spell work and enjoy some tea. Maybe some confidence spells and glamours. Also, I will start setting up my interview attire. I must be positive and not give up, there are better things.

I feel this very much right now!

Some days, you just gotta revel in the fact that laundry and dishes are done. 🧺🥣

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

Look buddy, i’m just trying to make it to Friday.

I love library journeys!!

i had a dream that one of the things i did to more, like, apart of the community was go to the local library - weird because i'm not much of a leisurely reader.

but i'm not from here!! so going anywhere alone still freaks me out even after two years.

for whatever reason, i have received a sign to go to the library so i may very well do just that.

Gemini Sun Scorpio Moon Explained: Balancing Wit with Emotional Depth

The Gemini Sun Scorpio Moon combination creates a fascinating personality that combines Gemini’s wit, adaptability, and curiosity with Scorpio’s intensity, depth, and passion. Individuals with this astrological pairing have the unique ability to communicate with ease, explore complex ideas, and form deep, emotional connections. While Gemini and Scorpio energies may seem opposite, they come together in this personality to create a blend of intellectual curiosity and emotional strength. In this article, we’ll explore the traits, challenges, and compatibility of those with a Gemini Sun and Scorpio Moon.

1. Gemini Sun: The Curious and Adaptable Communicator

Traits of Gemini Sun As an air sign ruled by Mercury, Gemini is known for its quick thinking, adaptability, and love for communication. People with a Gemini Sun are curious, open-minded, and thrive on learning new things. They are versatile, enjoying various conversations, hobbies, and interests. Gemini Suns often find themselves in social situations where their wit and charm shine.

Focus on Communication A Gemini Sun individual is naturally social and loves to engage in conversations that allow them to share ideas. Their intellect is one of their most notable traits, as they have a sharp mind and an ability to understand complex concepts quickly. They may be drawn to writing, speaking, or roles that require strong communication skills.

Strengths and Challenges While Gemini Suns are witty, open, and engaging, they may sometimes struggle with commitment or emotional depth. Their adaptability can make them appear indecisive or even superficial to others. Although they enjoy talking about a range of topics, they sometimes avoid subjects that require deep emotional investment, making it challenging for them to connect at a profound level.

2. Scorpio Moon: The Intense and Emotionally Complex Core

Traits of Scorpio Moon As a water sign ruled by Mars and Pluto, Scorpio is all about depth, emotional intensity, and transformation. Those with a Scorpio Moon feel things deeply and crave relationships with emotional richness. They are highly intuitive, often sensing people’s hidden motives, and their emotions run strong. This intense inner world contrasts with the Gemini Sun’s lighter, more flexible nature.

Desire for Loyalty and Depth in Relationships Scorpio Moons seek loyalty, stability, and intense connections in relationships. They don’t open up easily, but once they trust someone, they form a strong, enduring bond. In relationships, they prioritize emotional security and are willing to work through difficulties to achieve it.

Strengths and Challenges With their emotional insight and loyalty, Scorpio Moons can be intensely devoted. However, their strong desire for trust and emotional safety can also lead to possessiveness or jealousy. The Scorpio Moon’s powerful need for connection and loyalty can sometimes conflict with the Gemini Sun’s desire for freedom and exploration, creating inner tension.

3. Gemini Sun Scorpio Moon Personality Dynamics

Blend of Wit and Depth A Gemini Sun Scorpio Moon personality combines the Gemini Sun’s intellectual curiosity with the Scorpio Moon’s emotional depth. These individuals have a unique approach to life that balances light-hearted exploration with an understanding of the more serious aspects of human emotions. This makes them excellent conversationalists who can easily shift between playful banter and deep discussions.

Adaptable Yet Intense This astrological pairing results in a personality that is both adaptable and intense. Gemini Sun Scorpio Moon individuals are not only flexible in their thinking but are also deeply committed when it comes to people or causes that matter to them. They can approach life with a balanced perspective, knowing when to be carefree and when to focus on serious matters.

Inner Conflicts One of the main challenges for a Gemini Sun Scorpio Moon is balancing their need for independence with their desire for emotional depth. They may find it difficult to commit fully in relationships because part of them craves freedom while another part seeks intimacy. This internal struggle can create complex relationship dynamics, where they may alternate between being distant and deeply attached.

4. Relationship Compatibility for Gemini Sun Scorpio Moon

Ideal Partners The ideal partners for a Gemini Sun Scorpio Moon are those who appreciate both intellectual engagement and emotional depth. Signs like Cancer and Pisces may resonate with their emotional intensity, while Sagittarius and Aquarius can keep up with their intellectual curiosity. The best match for them would be someone who can respect their independence while also valuing emotional closeness.

Challenges in Relationships One challenge in relationships for Gemini Sun Scorpio Moon individuals is balancing their need for freedom with their desire for a loyal, trustworthy partner. Scorpio’s tendency toward possessiveness may sometimes clash with Gemini’s desire to explore and socialize. Issues with trust or jealousy could arise if their partner doesn’t understand or respect this need for space and emotional connection.

Keys to Relationship Success For a successful relationship, Gemini Sun Scorpio Moon individuals benefit from open, honest communication. They thrive in partnerships that allow them to express themselves freely without judgment. Their ideal partner will be someone who understands the complexity of their personality and values both their intellectual and emotional sides, creating a harmonious balance.

5. Career and Interests for Gemini Sun Scorpio Moon

Intellectual and Investigative Fields With a love for knowledge and a natural sense of curiosity, Gemini Sun Scorpio Moon individuals excel in careers that allow them to explore ideas in depth. Fields like psychology, journalism, research, or media align well with their need for both intellectual stimulation and emotional exploration. Their Scorpio Moon drives them to understand what lies beneath the surface, making investigative or analytical roles a perfect fit.

Passion-Driven Hobbies Their hobbies often reflect their dual need for mental engagement and emotional expression. They may be drawn to reading, creative writing, or activities that allow them to explore ideas. They may also enjoy pursuing topics related to psychology, philosophy, or art, where they can dive deeply into subjects that intrigue them.

Balancing Work and Emotion Finding a career that aligns with both their curious mind and emotional intensity is important for those with a Gemini Sun and Scorpio Moon. This pairing thrives in environments that provide both intellectual challenge and a sense of purpose. They excel in roles that allow them to explore new ideas, develop expertise, and work through complex emotions, leading to both professional and personal fulfillment.

Conclusion

The Gemini Sun Scorpio Moon personality is a unique blend of wit, curiosity, and emotional depth. These individuals can move effortlessly from light-hearted conversations to profound, meaningful discussions, making them both engaging and introspective. With strengths like adaptability, empathy, and resilience, they bring a balanced perspective to relationships and career paths alike. For those with a Gemini Sun Scorpio Moon, embracing both their intellectual and emotional sides allows them to lead a fulfilling, multifaceted life that celebrates the best of both worlds.

ANUBIS

WHO IS HE?

Anubis, also known as Inpu and Anpu in Ancient Egyptian mythology, is the god of funerary rites, protector of graves, and guide to the Underworld, in Ancient Egyptian mythology, usually depicted as a canine or a man with a canine head.

BASIC INFO:

Appearance: in Egyptian mythology, Anubis is typically depicted as a jackal-headed deity or a man with the head of a jackal. He is often depicted wearing a loincloth and holding a flail or a pair of scales. The jackal head represents Anubis' role as the guide to the Underworld, while the flail and scales represent his role as the judge of the dead. Some later representations of Anubis also show him holding a scepter, which is a staff symbolizing power and authority.

Personality: he is often portrayed as a serious and mysterious figure. He is known as the guide and guardian of the Underworld, and he is responsible for helping the dead on their journey to the afterlife. Anubis is also depicted as just and fair, using his scales to weigh the heart of the deceased against the Feather of Ma’at to determine their worthiness for the afterlife. Despite his association with death and the Underworld, Anubis is also seen as a protector and guide for the living, and he is believed to help those who call upon him for protection and guidance.

Symbols: flail, crook, sceptre, and mummy gauze

God of: the dead, mummification, embalming, the afterlife, and tombs

Culture: Egyptian

Plants and trees: star anise, benzoin, cloves, cardamom, frankincense, myrrh, rosemary, cypress, pomegranate, cedarwood, blue lotus, juniper, lilies, and black roses.

Crystals: black obsidian, onyx, jet, garnet, smoky quartz, babingtonite, augite, alabandite, agate geode, petrified palmwood, brochantite, agate, labradorite, trolleite, melanite, dendritic opal, larvikite, biotite, fire opal, merlinite, bloodstone, hematite, and black tourmaline.

Animals: jackal, dog, flies, scarab beetle, Ibis bird, and snake

Incense: cinnamon, sage, frankincense, cedarwood, pomegranate, myrrh, copal, dragons blood, and vanilla

Practices: death witchcraft, necromancy, protection, death magick, guidance (especially through transitions), shadow work, funerary rites, cremation rituals, death positive activism, funeral service provision, divination, and ancestor worship

Colours: black, gold, green, and red

Number: 13

Zodiac: Scorpio

Tarot: Death

Planets: Pluto

Days: Monday, Thoth (Thuty) Festival, Opening of the Mouth ceremony, Festival of the Divine Birth, Nile Flood Festival, Festival of the Dead, and Festival of the Jackal

Parents: Ra (his father originally), Hesat (mother), Bastet (sometimes referred to as his mother), Osiris (his father in later stories), and Isis (his mother in later stories).

Siblings: Horus, Babi, Sopdet, Wepwawet, and Bata

Partner: Anput and Nephthys

Children: Kebechet

MISC:

• Flail: the flail is associated with Anubis because it was believed to have been used by him in the process of mummification. In ancient Egyptian mythology, the flail was a tool used to separate the body of the deceased from its wrappings. It was also associated with the idea of balance and justice, as the flail had two heads that were believed to represent the balance of life and death. In some depictions, Anubis is shown holding a flail in his hands as a symbol of his role as a judge of the dead.

• Crook: it was a staff with a curved end and was used by shepherds to guide their flocks. In Egyptian mythology, the crook was associated with the god Osiris and later with Anubis as well. It was believed to represent Anubis' role as a shepherd of souls, guiding the deceased through the afterlife and protecting them from danger. Additionally, the crook was seen as a symbol of authority and power, as the pharaohs were often depicted carrying one as a sign of their divine rule.

• Sceptre: in ancient Egypt, a sceptre was a staff that was carried by the pharaohs and gods to symbolize their power and authority. For Anubis, his sceptre was known as the Pesesh-kef Sceptre, and it represented his role as a guide and protector of the dead. The Pesesh-kef was a symbol of his status as a god and was used to perform rituals and ceremonies related to the afterlife. It was also believed to have healing or magical properties and was sometimes buried with people to protect them on their journey through the afterlife.

• Jackal: Anubis is often depicted with the head of a jackal, which is one of the reasons why jackals are associated with him. Jackals were considered scavengers and were known to be present in the deserts where many Egyptian burials took place. For this reason, they were believed to have been closely associated with death and the afterlife. The jackal was also said to have the ability to navigate the underworld, which further strengthened its association with Anubis, who was considered the guide and protector of the deceased in the afterlife.

• Mummy gauze: the material used to wrap and bind the mummies of the deceased. Anubis, as the god of mummification and the afterlife, was closely associated with the practice of mummification and often depicted holding rolls of mummy gauze as a symbol of his role. In addition, mummy gauze was believed to have magical or protective properties, and some Egyptians would use it as a talisman to keep themselves or their loved ones safe from harm. As a result, mummy gauze became a potent symbol of Anubis' power and connection to the underworld.

• The colour black: often associated with death and the underworld, this is likely because of the dark, fertile soil of the Nile River banks, where many Egyptian burials took place. Anubis, as the god of death and the afterlife, was closely associated with the Underworld and the process of mummification, which required the use of black resin and tar. As a result, the color black became a powerful symbol of Anubis and his domain, and was often used in paintings, carvings, and other representations of the god.

FACTS ABOUT ANUBIS:

• He likes metal music (especially black metal), dark crystal jewelry, gothic style, and dark coloured sports cars.

• In the Egyptian Book of the Dead, it is said that Anubis weighs the heart of the deceased against the Feather of Ma’at to determine their worthiness for the afterlife.

• Anubis was regularly invoked for protection as well as vengeance.

• He helped Iris bring Osiris back from the dead.

• His time of day is dusk.

• Anubis is very caring and kind to his worshipper.

• The name “Anubis” is the Greek form of the Egyptian name “Anpu” which means to decay.

• He is not a demon or evil entity.

• Anubis was said to be the creator of embalming.

• The Greeks associated Anubis with Hermes, the Greek god who guided the dead to the afterlife. The two would be joined together to create Hermanubis, making him more accessible to non-Egyptians.

• A very sweet entity and only wishes to help guide people in the right direction.

• He knows the date of everyone’s death and may be petitioned to reveal it.

• Anubis is one of the oldest Egyptian gods.

• He is represented by the colour black.

HOW TO INVOKE ANUBIS:

Connect with Anubis as you would any other deity—with profound respect and gratitude. He selects devotees who are willing to face their shadows, and who aren’t afraid of spirts and death. Come to him with a pure heart and pure intentions.

To work with him, you can: read about him, create sacred altar space for him, leave offerings for Anubis in his sacred space, call him by his real name Anpu (to decay), research the mummification process and purpose, explore your beliefs about death, do shadow work and ritual work with him, and visiting cemeteries.

PRAYER FOR ANUBIS:

"Oh great and powerful Anubis, Lord of the Dead and guide of souls, I call upon you now in this moment. I honor and respect your wisdom and strength, and I seek your guidance and protection on my journey through this life and into the next.”

“Please bless me with your presence and wisdom as I embark on this new path. Show me the way to make the choices that will lead to a good and honorable life, and give me the courage to face the unknown with bravery and confidence.I offer this prayer to you with gratitude and reverence. Hail to you, Lord Anubis.”

SIGNS THAT ANUBIS IS CALLING YOU:

• Spiritual signs, such as meditative visions or dream visitations.

• Seeing black dogs and bones.

• A strong feeling of connection to Anubis or the Egyptian pantheon.

• Finding yourself increasingly drawn to topics related to death, the afterlife, or spirituality.

• A sense of being guided or protected in times of difficulty or distress.

• Finding objects related to death, burial, or the occult in unexpected places.

• Experiencing unusual synchronicities or coincidences related to the god.

• Having a strong desire to learn more about the Egyptian pantheon or the lore surrounding Anubis.

OFFERINGS:

• Cool water.

• Strong liquor, like rum.

• Spicy foods.

• Dark and bitter chocolate and beer.

• Practicing divination.

• Strong incense: frankincense, cedarwood, and myrrh.

• Black coffee.

• Shadow work (only if you’re emotionally prepared for it).

• Pomegranates.

• Feathers.

• Aged cheese.

• Sourdough.

• Red meat: beef (especially steak), pork, lamb, and goat.

• Bitter chocolate.

• Cypress oil.

• Bones and skulls.

• Pumpkin spice.

• Bread.

• Crystals: black obsidian, onyx, jet, garnet, smoky quartz, labradorite, bloodstone, and hematite.

• Karkadeh.

DEVOTIONAL ACTS:

• Honour the dead and your ancestors

• Act as a guide for someone.

• Live your life as if it was your last (mindfully).

• Volunteer in cleaning cemeteries or in your local mortuary.

• Dress in neutral and dark colours.

• Wearing black clothing in his honour.

• Volunteer or donate to local dog shelters.

• Research him.

Imbolc as a Hellenic (longread)

Many of you might know that the Wheel of the Year is an annual cycle with eight sabbats (two solstices, two equinoxes and four fire festivals marking the midpoints between the solar events). This annual cycle was constructed by Wicca and took from older pagan celebrations. Many modern witches, regardless of whether they’re Wiccan, follow the Wheel of the Year, myself included. However, as I am a Hellenic witch, my religion often doesn’t align with the Wheel of the Year. In this blogpost I would like to go into why I celebrate the Wheel of the Year and how sabbats that have strong Celtic roots, like Imbolc, could still be celebrated as a Hellenic.

Why I celebrate the Wheel of the Year As a Hellenic witch it can be hard to try to fit the Wheel of the Year to my deities and practice. For some sabbats, like Ostara and Mabon, it’s easier. I’ve celebrated and perceived the autumn and spring equinoxes way before I became a witch through honouring Persephone, Hades and Demeter. However, Imbolc remains a hard one for me to celebrate through a Hellenic lens. Many might ask themselves, “Why celebrate it all then? Why go through the effort if it isn’t working out for you?”. There are multiple reasons why I try to celebrate every sabbat:

I do feel the energy shifts. For Imbolc for example, I am experiencing the energy shifting towards that of new beginnings, and thus it goes against my natural instincts and senses to not celebrate these energy shifts.

The Wheel of the Year connects me to other (non-Hellenic) witches and makes me feel part of the witchcraft and pagan community. As a solitary witch, my path can feel quite lonely sometimes. However through perceiving and celebrating the sabbats I feel connected to other practitioners of the craft. Therefore it’s worthwhile for me to celebrate the Wheel of the Year as a Hellenic.

The Wheel of the Year aligns with the natural world in my region and the solar and lunar events. My practice goes beyond Hellenism and these aspects of my craft align well with the Wheel of the Year.

How to celebrate Imbolc as a Hellenic🌼 Imbolc is also known as Brigid’s day and thus centred around the Celtic goddess Brigid. If you are like me and you do celebrate the sabbats while also being Hellenic, there are a few adjustments you can make to celebrate Imbolc.

The return of spring🐑 Even though it’s not the spring equinox, Imbolc’s vocal point is the coming of spring. Therefore you can choose to focus on this aspect of Imbolc. This is paired with workings for renewal, new beginnings, protection and cleansing. If you’d like to honour a Hellenic deity for this aspect, you might want to look into honouring Gaia or build an altar for her. She is the Goddess of the earth after all.

Honouring Hestia🕯️ You might want to choose to honour Hestia within this period. Hestia as the Goddess of the hearth shares this aspect with Brigid. Furthermore, Imbolc is one of the four fire festivals. That fire aspect can be embraced through the honour and worship of Hestia. You might also choose to take this a step further and work with Hestia for protections for the home and your loved ones.

Solar aspect☀️ Imbolc also marks the midpoint between Yule and Ostara, proofing to also be a solar event. Therefore you might choose to work with this solar energy embracing those brighter days ahead. This is an excellent time to also honour the Gods Apollôn and Hêlios. Even though most books on Imbolc will not mention them as deities for this time period, they are still Gods who govern over the sun. Whenever there is a sabbat with a solar aspect to it, I choose to incorporate Apollôn. He is a God who has been central to my life since I’ve been a Hellenic and therefore it feels wrong to leave him out of it.

I hope you have a blessed day tomorrow, however you choose to celebrate Imbolc🩵🤎

daily coffee magic

I drink coffee instead of eating breakfast like the broke uni student I am but that doesn’t mean I can’t put some magic in it. I use a French press and pour it over a filter of herbs, but if you have a drip machine you can just put your different things in with the coffee grinds! (fun fact you’re supposed to re-filter French press coffee to get rid of that sludgy mix and filter out possible carcinogens, but it’s not absolutely necessary)

I like to call this my ‘get up and get shit done’ mix

cinnamon–fortune, prosperity

cloves–cleansing, wards against negative energies

ginger–energy, success, motivation

salt–cleansing

vanilla–calm, direction, caring

Intent is on getting the energy and willpower to get whatever you have to done for the day without letting negative energy/opinions get you down, and without getting off topic. It also just makes your coffee taste good.
