“coming of age” books and movies are so stupid like being a teenager isn’t about having sex and going to parties it’s about staring out your car window after hanging out with your old best friends who you haven’t seen in months and realizing that you aren’t actually friends anymore and that your childhood has been well and truly dead since you were thirteen

you will never be too much for someone who can’t get enough of you

mood spell jars

hey y’all, your resident eclectic with here with a quick tip on easy-to-do spell jars!

I personally live in a dorm situation nine months out of the and try to keep my shit pretty lowkey for my roommates sake, so I keep four elemental mood jars in little mason jars in one of my drawers. Whenever I feel funky, out of alignment, off-mood, or just need a little pep, I mix the corresponding jar and say a little prayer and thank you before I start my day. The contents of these jars were inspired by an elemental post made by stargvsm! Please see their post for more ideas, as my jars really contain the bare minimum to convey intent.

     Earth- For grounding, strength, healing

     Contents: dried moss, crushed pine cone, wheat, crushed lead, salt, patchouli essential oil, jar is decorated with sigils for Venus and Saturn

     Air- For clarity, inspiration, intuition, memory

     Contents: feathers, lavender, lemon peel, clover, yellow fabric, soda can tabs, incense ashes, jar is decorates with sigils for Mercury and Uranus

     Water- For emotion, release, reflection, growth

    Contents: silver coins, sand, chamomile, mint, river stones, sea glass, jar is decorated with sigils of Neptune and Pluto

     Fire- For energy, courage, passion, confidence

     Contents: candle wax, basil, cinnamon, red pepper flakes, garnet necklace, gold coin, jar is decorated with sigils for Mars and Jupiter

My planet associations are based on the zodiac, go with whatever works best for you! I put soda can tabs in my air jar because I associate aluminum with air, but I know some people prefer tin. It’s all about what you feel best represents the relationship you have with worship- there’s no right or wrong contents.

For prayer, honestly, sometimes I just put my head on my desk and swirl the jar and talk out loud like I’m asking an old friend for advice. I talk abut my day, why I feel the way I do, and what I want to change about how I feel, and ask my patrons for their guidance. Blessed be, y’all have fun and stay safe
