It’s Okay To Outgrow A Relationship That Once Served A Different Version Of You.

Aphrodite wants you to know this holiday season

You can eat. 

You are loved if not by your family then by the gods.

You matter if you do or don’t follow the gender/sexual “norms.”

No matter where you are the gods are with you. They will listen, you’re loved, you’re amazing, they love your “ugly” Christmas sweater (I do too, you look bomb.)

Have a wonderful holiday! 

reblog this if your blog is a safe space on april fools and won’t have any jumpers, screamers, or anything scary or anxiety inducing

Witch tip

If you’re at a beach, write out sigils in the sand close to the water. The sun will charge them and the changing tides will activate them.

What's your best research tip?

Witchy, occult, and magical folks who do a lot of research: what is your favorite or best research tip?

Bonus: How did you come about learning this tip?

Witch Safety Tip:

Don't burn cinnamon or cassia. I know it smells delicious. I know it has the cleansing power we all dream of. But cinnamon is a SEVERE respiratory irritant. Even if your lungs are healthy, it can cause lung scarring. If your lungs are less than flawless? Disaster.

That includes cinnamon oil.

Cinnamon scented candles are fine, because they're stabilized.

Heating cinnamon or cinnamon oil up is fine.

Just don't burn it.

Bonus Tip: don't put cinnamon on your skin. ESPECIALLY NOT CINNAMON OIL. We use cinnamon oil to strip varnish from furniture. Back in ye olde days of the 2010s, people mixed cinnamon powder with water to give themselves a facial peel. They peeled their flesh right off! Cinnamon can give you third degree chemical burns.
