Eyeliner wings can be both frustrating and satisfying. There are so many styles, shapes, colors, and techniques for applying them.
Corner to Outer Lid - Openness to new experiences and people. Use this technique if you’re feeling or want to feel particularly social or creative.
Outer Lid to Corner - Protection. Use this technique if you feel a bit reclusive or are not in a very social mood and want to go about your business in solitude.
Short and Clean - Organization and task completion. Making good first impressions and completing business/work tasks efficiently. (Photo Source, originally from the user who’s @ is under the brow line. I can’t make out what it is, unfortunately.)
Chunky/Thick - Power and confidence. Wear this style when you need a little confidence boost or are about to enter a confrontational or negotiation situation. (Photo Source)

Thataylaa is one of my favourite youtubers, and she’s just put out a video about her acne experience and going on Accutane. I think this video is really amazing because it addresses a lot of the things people say to those with acne: “Why haven’t you been to a dermatologist?” “You need to wash your face!” “Drink more water!” etc.
She’s also done heaps of research on the causes of acne and things like that. So it’s very worth watching, especially if you have bad acne.
(Gif from this video)
Every so often, use some moon water to wash your face.
Avoid using essential oils directly on your face, they can clog your pores.
Apply body wash or soap to your skin in clockwise circles to open your body up to positivity.
Enchant your moisturizers, acne creams, and cleansers for an added boost.
Draw sigils in your face cream.
Try adding herbs and herb-based products into your routine. Witch Hazel is very popular for treating skin related issues.
If you use pore-cleaning masks, use them to pull the negative energies from your skin.
Use your ring finger to massage products into your skin to ground yourself.
Brew Black tea and then refrigerate it until it’s cool. Then apply it as you would astringent.
Use coconut oil to easily remove makeup. Cleanse and wash after.
Rub a sliced orange on elbows and heels to soften rough and cracked skin. Rinse when finished.
Massaging your face is a wonderful way to ground yourself or begin meditation.
Every letter of the alphabet matches a number from 1-9. The number can be calculated by the digit sum equaling the place of the letter in the alphabet. E.g. ‘K’ is the 11th letter, the digit sum of 11 is 2, so ‘K’ equals the number of 2.
Alphabetical number table:
1 A J S
2 B K T
3 C L U
4 D M V
5 E N W
6 F O X
7 G P Y
8 H Q Z
9 I R
For the calculation of your Name, Personality and Heart number use your complete name(s) with first, middle and last names as it is written on your birth certificate! (This will bring the most accurate results.)
Here’s an example of how to calculate the Name number:
J E F F R E Y L E B O W S K I
1 5 6 6 9 5 7 3 5 2 6 5 1 2 9
add together 39 33
build digit sum 3+9=12 3+3=6
1+2= 3 stays 6
add together 3+6=9
NAME NUMBER IS 9

now that i’ve begun working more with energy, i wanted to share my methods of casting circles! when i first started working with energy, it was really hard to find references for casting circles, especially ones not dealing with the traditional Wiccan god/goddess. here are some methods and uses of casting circles!
the primary reason i cast circles is to protect me from outside energy influences. most people associate circles to protection from ‘malevolent’ spirits, however, it’s just a great barrier in general!
here are some following scenarios i cast circles:
divination- to protect me from energies that might influence my cards or my interpretation o the cards
spellwork- pretty self-explanatory. i cast circles to protect from energies i don’t want in my spells, or from potential spirit attraction.
meditation- again, for energy use and to also not be disturbed from anything spiritual.
1 - Invoking Elements
a very basic way, if not the go-to way, of casting is to place each of the four elements at each of the cardinal directions. Earth at the north, Air in the east, Fire at the south, and Water in the west.
fire
Candles (color them for intent if used in a spell! alternatively, electric tea lights work fine.)
here is a post about color associations for candles!
Anything symbolic of fire colors (red or warm-colored cloth, figures/statues,etc.)
water
moon/sun water (in a jar works really well, or in an open container if being used for blessing anything)
blessed water, or water related to whatever you’re working with (storm water, diluted essential oils, etc).
here is a good source of different kinds of water and how to cleanse them!
blue or purple colored items
earth
stones or crystals (this is what i love to use! just be wary that some stones are aligned with other elements. clear quartz is a go-to.)
salt
dirt (from your backyard or specific, such as hospital or graveyard. make sure to cleanse it.)
herbs (especially roots)
brown or black colored items
air
incense (different scents have uses as well!)
here is a post with scent correspondences!
steam
yellow or white colored items
alternatively, any of these could be replaced with a tarot card of the corresponding suit! (wands for fire, cups for water, pentacles for earth, and swords for air).
to close the circle, walk clockwise starting in the east (air) and complete a full walk around the circle. do this as many times as you feel needed to envision a complete circle! after your use for it is done, unwind it by walking the same number of times counter-clockwise.
note: if you live in the southern hemisphere, you may want to reverse fire and earth in your directions and walk counter-clockwise to close the circle, and clockwise to end it.
2 - Envisioning
this is a very, very simple way to cast a circle! if you have very little time, simply imagine a ring of light around your workspace. you could align color to purpose as well.
the only downsides to this method include the fact that it may not be as strong as a physical circle for beginners especially, as i have learned many times over as i find energy that i don’t want in the circle. on top of this, to make it very successful, you may have to keep this image in your head throughout your spell or energy work, which may distract or hurt your concentration.
however, like i said before, it’s very easy, discreet, and requires no clean up! with practice, it could be very easy to maintain.
3 - Salt Circle
by simply spreading salt in a circle clockwise (or counter-clockwise depending on your location), you can create a strong barrier. as you walk around, envision your purpose of protection and safety.
if you are working outside, do not use salt. it will kill plant life! instead, consider alternatives such as: egg shells, diluted salt water, crushed herbs, flower petals, etc.
if working inside, consider setting out foil, cloth, or a tarp for easy cleanup.
4 - Cleansing the Room Itself
if you find that you for some reason cannot cast a circle, or maybe are just starting out, consider cleansing the entire room instead!
some methods include:
smoke cleansing (NOT smudging. please do not call this action smudging unless it is part of YOUR culture.)
salt or protective mixture
dance/song
salt/water spray
incense and candles
for smoke cleansing, light your bundle and start facing eastward, spreading the smoke and asking for protection from either the corresponding element or any deities/spirits/etc. you worship. move clockwise or counterclockwise.
for salt or protection mixtures, simply place a small pile in each corner of the room or at the cardinal directions.
dance and song can celanse the room when accompanied with smoke especially.
the salt water spray can be used similar to the protection mixture – spray a little in each corner or at the cardinal directions.
incense and candles can be placed in corners, the directions, or just throughout the room to act as protective energy.
make sure to remove your circle after you’re done!! leaving it up isn’t safe and could be draining on your energy or health.
try not to leave the circle in the middle of your work, if it can be avoided. ive had to do it before and nothing bad happened, but sometimes it ocould break the circle, or bring unwanted energy or precense in.
do your absolute best to have all your materials in the circle before you cast it. bringing items that were not in the circle before could carry energy that you just do not want in your circle. i’ve messed up plenty spells because of it already. if it is really necessary, cleanse the item as thoroughly as you can (quickly if you need to), and enter the circle from the east.
if these methods don’t work right away, don’t worry! these take lots of practice. some easy ways to try casting daily include:
cast a circle before you meditate
cleanse your room before you do homework for a safe space to work
if you have a form of divination, cast a circle before drawing a daily reading (i do this in the morning to see how the day will go or seek advice for the day!).
good luck!

Ah, yes, everyone’s go to calmer and de-stresser: Lavender. I burn it and use the oil and have it in a perfume and drink it in tea. But why Is it so great for literally everything?
Lavender is a very useful antidepressant and anti-anxiety herb. I drink it almost every night in a tea to calm myself. For those of us who stress all the time (especially students who tend to work themselves too much!!) it’s a great go-to when you really aren’t feeling it. Plus, it’s great for those who suffer from insomnia or people who just have trouble getting tired at night.
A great combo for stress relief for your diffuser:
5 drops Grapefruit essential oil
5 drops Lavender essential oil
But not only can it help your mental state, it also helps digestion and IBS! It’s soothing for your stomach and has a sweet taste, which can make any tea smell and taste amazing.
Lavender tea blends well with:
Green tea (De-stressing and digestion)
Hibiscus (Cramps, helps regulate digestive/resprastory tract) [[only add a little though, it’s super strong!!]]
Chamomile (nausea, athsma)
Look for shampoos with lavender in them because it is amazing for getting rid of dandruff! If you have a sensitive scalp, don’t fret – it’s very soothing on the skin.
I’m sure we all know that lavender is amazing in witchcraft, too, but what can you do with it?
It’s been used as a placeholder for calmness and peace in ancient magicks for hundreds of years. It’s attractive scent makes it favorable in love spells, as well as its heavily used property to induce happiness.
It is bound to Mercury and the element air.
Little things to do with lavender:
Keep a satchet of lavender with you to promote happiness and good health
Rub the flowers on you to attract love
Burn stalks of dried lavender to attract money, love, happiness, good health, passion, protection and sucess
Put lavender under your pillow and think about something you desire. If your dream contains something related, you’ll get said desire
Grow it in your garden to bring good luck
It has been said to attract Fae because of its beautiful scent!
It can make a great offering to many deities as it is such a wide-variety herb. You can make it into a potion, burn it on charcoals, or just sprinkle it around an effigy to show how much you love them!
Just thought I would pay tribute to my favorite herb of all times. I use it in lterally every spell for different things, sometimes like a signature. I hope you guys can find a lot of help from it, too!
-Damien
