“Your ambition should be to get as much life out of living as you possibly can – as much enjoyment, as much interest, as much experience, as much understanding. And not to simply be what is generally called a “success”.”

Personal Experiences with the Elements

🌿Earth🌿

Exploring the woods around your house. The wave of flower smells as you enter the green house section of Walmart. The Grit of Dirt and Sawdust, the bark of dogwood trees. The Majesty of standing atop a mountain.

🌊Water🌊

Footprints in Wet Sand.  Sunken ships in shallow crystal waters. Quiet Murmurs of a nearby stream. Drinking from the hose. The calm quiet of a candle lit bath.

☁️Air☁️

Blowing up balloons so much my cheeks popped. Wind Whistling through Empty Caverns.  The Hot breath after eating Goulash. The sweet taste blueberry hookah.

🔥Fire🔥

Campfires in the woods. Birthdays and laughter. A halo of blue fire descending down in a water bottle. Hurricane Lamps. Igniting a gas lit stove.

💡Light💡

A single solitary ray peeking through darkened clouds. The magical glow of Fiber Optics Cables. Flashlights under the covers. Disney’s Main Street Electrical Parade. Fairy lights and Rope Lights.

👤Dark👤

Kisses under blankets. Auditoriums before the curtain rises on stage. Parking under the shade in the one lone parking lot tree. Silly late night conversations at a sleepover. The pitch dark crystal quartz cavern.  

⌛Time⌛

the last grains of sand in an hour glass dripping down. The beeps of an old Stopwatch. The final buzzer of a sports game. The deep swings of the pendulum of the Grandfather Clock. The chirp of the Cookoo bird at the top of the hour.

🌌Space🌌

Touching a moon rock.  Counting seven shooting stars while out at sea. Sharing eclipse glasses with strangers and texting them pictures of it. Having the fire alarm pulled at school so we could watch the space shuttle get piggy backed to Florida.

🍀Luck🍀

Finding a four leaf clover within 5 seconds of looking down. A reverse Ladybug with two red spots landing on me. Winning Budwieser Made in America 2013 Tickets. Seeing a moose outside our tent at the Grand Canyon. Guessing the number of pearls in an oyster and winning the two largest ones.

🔗Fate🔗

Messing up a conversation with my future husband only to have it now be our “How We Met” story.  Finding solace in a fandom and finding for life friends.  Being Adopted into my family because they bought a car for their Dogs. The call of Crystals in the shops and store.

💎Order💎

Stacking Bricks for the Garden Bed. Arranging Ceramic Unicorn figurines. Bookshelves full of manga volumes. Separating our Christmas tree by sections. School Subjects having a Specific Color ™

✳️Chaos✳️

Writing story ideas on sticky notes. Shoveling scraps of drawings and sketches into a drawer. The state of my room. The year 2006.  Untangling Christmas tree string lights. 52 card pick up. Counting raindrops. Attempting to describe/recite the Liam Neeson Vine to a Coworker.

You're not going to find your spirituality on the internet

Maybe this’ll be unpopular but it’s been bugging me a lot lately.

Online there’s a lot of “my gods are so silly I gave them fun nicknames and we hang out like buddies lolz”

Online there’s a lot of “[insert religion] sucks! It’s boring and stupid and being pagan is sooooo much cooler! I’m more fulfilled than they’ll ever be!”

Online there’s a lot of trendy fads and expensive magick tools/altars/etc and people who will tell you who you should be even when it goes against your better judgement.

But a lot of baby witches and pagans will cling to the Internet as their only place to learn about their chosen spirituality.

Your spirituality is so much deeper and more meaningful than that. You, reading this now, YOU are capable of so much. If you feel jaded about life like I do right now, please log off for a moment.

Go meditate without any preconceptions or expectations. Just breathe, count your breaths. Feel the energy around you. If you can, light a candle and gaze into the flame. If you have any, hold a crystal and tune into it.

Go out in nature somewhere, anywhere, and feel the wind on your face. Breathe in the primordial earth. Listen to the sounds around you.

Your gods aren’t silly playthings for you to take out of a box and amuse yourself with when you’re bored. They’re powerful beings who deserve respect and shouldn’t be called on frivolously. Talk to them, give them offerings, but don’t degrade them to “spooky toy” status.

You don’t have to spend a dime on an altar. You don’t have to “look” a certain way. You don’t need all the bells and whistles or an impressive magical lineage.

Don’t shit all over other religions, even if you don’t agree with them. Respect them as their own identities. Your spirituality isn’t a trendy accessory to make you look edgy and unique. It’s a deeply felt reality for you, something that drives you from the core of your being. Laughing at someone else’s spiritual path is like pointing at someone’s purse and ridiculing it because it’s not as cool as yours. Spirituality isn’t an accessory, so don’t treat it like one or you risk looking like you aren’t confident in your own.

And finally, don’t try to search for your spiritual path online. Study and learn there, sure. Ask questions. Be curious. But don’t confuse Internet tags and Instagram photos for your own personal spiritual identity. The only way to develop your spiritual identity is by actively practicing, and I mean YOUR way. Don’t want to worship gods? Don’t. Uncomfortable with practicing magick? Don’t.

Please log off every now and then to decompress and turn inward, away from the allure of Internet spirituality. Energy, spirit, deities–these are all purely experiential things that require your full attention and considerable mindfulness. Please don’t shape your spiritual identity around boredom or edginess or nonconformity for its own sake. If you found your spirituality because it’s not mainstream or you thought you could learn some magick to make you interesting, then it’s based mainly on negative traits like guilt, anger, or escapism.

Let your spirituality be a driving force at the core of your being, something powerful and good and absolutely enchanting because it speaks to your soul. Take your spirituality out of its conceptual phase in your mind and put it into real, tangible practice.

And sorry I ranted for five million hours I just have a lot of feelings……

🌠Jupiter Retrograde🌠

⭐10th April-11th August 2019⭐

Moving through Sagittarius ♐

*Note* When a planet goes retrograde it doesn’t mean all good or all bad, there is always a balance of both its just how you use this energy that matters, we focus to much on the negatives of a retrograde so here are some positives and how to work with Jupiter retrograde instead of against it😌

- 🌠Jupiter rules growth, higher knowledge, expansion and abundance.

- ☄When in retrograde it puts you in a position to start receiving and collecting blessings for you greatest and highest good. Its a time to question what it is that you want for yourself and to start looking at the bigger picture.

- 🌌 Reflection is key, in all aspects of life, re- connecting with old hobbies, re-connecting with your faith and spiritual beliefs. Its a time to take care of your body and soul, as health is so important, if you need a break take it!

- ♐ As its going through the sign of Sagittarius which is the sign of inspiration, fun and knowledge, its a great time to start planning new projects, travel plans, moving etc

Things to do in this time😌🌼

. Grounding - ground yourself, re-discover your purpose or goal, spend some time for yourself and bring yourself back down to earth.

. Cleansing - Its a great time to de-clutter and get rid of any negativity thats still attached to you.

- Self care !!!

Happy Jupiter Retrograde😌🌌
