Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864-1901)

Toulouse-Lautrec drank constantly and slept little. After a long night of drawing and binge-drinking, he would often wake early to print lithographs, then head to a café for lunch and several glasses of wine. Returning to his studio, he would take a nap to sleep off the wine, then paint until the late afternoon, when it was time for aperitifs.

(One of his inventions was the Maiden Blush, a combination of absinthe, mandarin, bitters, red wine, and champagne. He wanted the sensation, he said, of “a peacock’s tail in the mouth.”)

🗓️ Organizing Your Witchy Rituals 🌙✨

Hello darlings 🥰

It is easy to feel overwhelmed by all the witchy things you’d like to do, so creating a schedule for your witchy rituals can bring structure and balance to your practice. Here's a suggested weekly timetable to inspire you:

🌕 Monday: Moon Magic On Mondays, align your practice with the energy of the moon. Perform rituals for manifestation, divination, or connecting with your intuition. Charge and cleanse your crystals under the moonlight.

🌿 Tuesday: Herb and Plant Magic Dedicate Tuesdays to working with herbs and plants. This can involve creating herbal remedies, growing your magical herb garden, or connecting with the spirit of plants through meditation and nature walks.

🔥 Wednesday: Elemental Magic Explore the power of the elements on Wednesdays. Work with fire for transformation, air for communication and clarity, water for emotions and intuition, and earth for grounding and stability. Incorporate rituals that honor and connect with each element.

🔮 Thursday: Divination and Spellcasting On Thursdays, focus on divination and spellcasting. Use tarot cards, oracle decks, or other divination tools to gain insight and guidance. Perform spellwork to manifest your desires and bring positive change into your life.

✨ Friday: Self-Care and Enchantment Fridays are dedicated to self-care and enchantment. Take time to pamper yourself with magical baths, create sacred spaces, or explore beauty rituals that enhance your inner and outer radiance. Practice self-love and self-empowerment spells.

🌟 Saturday: Spirituality and Connection Saturdays are perfect for deepening your spiritual practice and connecting with the divine. Engage in meditation, explore different spiritual traditions, work on your energy healing techniques, or perform rituals to connect with your spirit guides or ancestors.

📚 Sunday: Study and Reflection Use Sundays for studying and reflecting on your magical path. Dive into books, online resources, or courses that expand your knowledge of witchcraft, spirituality, or esoteric subjects. Journal about your experiences, insights, and personal growth.

A healthy and effective schedule will always be unique to you, but I hope this guideline will inspire you to take more control of your time as a practicing witch 🥰✨

Introduction

Hello. Welcome to my blog. I have no clue yet where I want this to go or where/if it will, but this is my scream into the void.

I go by Solomon online and magically and I am a witch. I have been for almost 11 years now, off and on. My path through witchcraft has not been a straight or narrow one, but whose has been? Isn't that the beauty in it all?

I'll warn you, I'm not a "good" witch. By that specifically, I mean I'm not an aesthetic witch. I don't have a beautiful mahogany cabinet filled with fresh picked herbs from my backyard garden on the full moon when it's in Cancer. I don't have a giant cast iron cauldron full of magical potion or with a roaring fire. I do have two cats, and that's about as far as I've gotten. Right next to me right now is a cauldron-shaped mug filled with steaming coffee, what I whispered my intentions into. Most days, my witchcraft gets as far as a small chant in the shower as I frantically rush to get ready for my corporate job because I've hit snooze too many times. Maybe if I'm feeling particularly charged that day, I'll light a candle or read my tarot cards for the day.

So why now? Why make a blog in the Year 2024, when short form media is the norm and Tumblr continues it's slow death... I have no idea. It's familiar, it's bringing me back to 2013 and the hours I've spent on this platform wearing many different masks over the years. It's a space where I want to pull together at least some form of community to make it feel like I've contributed somewhere, anywhere...

So I'll leave now with a small ritual. It's simple and easy and you might already be doing it anyway.

You'll need: a cup of coffee (quickness, speed), vanilla syrup (sweetness, love), milk (spirituality, love), and a spice of your choice (I like cinnamon - abundance, prosperity, and quickness)

Assemble your coffee grounds. I add the herbs/spices into the ground beans before brewing. Whisper to them and ask them nicely to aid you in your day. I pray for extra luck and abundance throughout the day.

Brew your beverage.

Add the vanilla syrup and ask it nicely to add extra sweetness to your day.

Add in the milk/cream to taste, asking it to help you connect to whatever you believe in.

Before you take the first sip, take a deep breath and think once more about your coffee, what it means, and what you want to bring forth in your day. Don't overthink this, just take a moment.

Drink, enjoy

Wake up, make a list based on your goals, accomplish them before going to bed, and sleep like a baby. That's it. No garbage involved.

[srividyatantram]

Let Ganapati remove obstacles, Bala steady your lifestyle, Ashwarooda protect work and society, Sampatkari bring wealth, let Varahi remove enemies and steady senses, let Matangi steady mind and siddhis, then get to Sowbhagya Vidya of Lalitha so that family and overall prosperity. With all key areas covered and well protected, by supporting energy forces, then get to Shodashi, to dettach, without impacting anything attached. Every system of Mahavidya has a proper Krama.

My view during my "morning ritual"

Sipping coffee i brewed with good intentions, beside the minimalist household altar (not shown). With my cat in my lap or on the floor in his play area by my feet.

I think about what needs to be accomplished. What I'm thankful for. I center and ground myself. I think about my affirmations or my moon intention I'm working on. I listen to nature sounds using my self care app, Finch. Or, I just pet Ozzy. Which in itself is a blessing.

Ritual doesn't need to be complex. Sometimes I do all of these things. Other times, I just appreciate my cool house and a cat in my lap.

[elenajohansenauthor]

so here's Auntie Elena's life advice for today:

Pick a small thing you view as "special" and try to do it every day. Set your own realistic time frame--is this something you could do every day for a week? A month? A whole season?

And no "thing" is too small, either. I used to view milk tea as a treat, because I'm dairy-free, and nondairy milk is generally pretty expensive, and I thought that meant I shouldn't have it all the time. But then the big jug of oat milk was on sale one week, and I thought, "sure why not" and I bought it and started making myself milk tea every morning.

I've been doing it now for two months. Every day. My "expensive" milk goes really far when I'm mostly using it for tea, it doesn't spoil as fast as dairy milk so it's not actually more expensive in the long run, and my tea-making is now a comforting, enjoyable morning ritual.

My example is a drink, but it doesn't have to be that, or food, or even anything consumable. Do you want more nature? Take a walk every day, and don't make it about the exercise, but about the experience. Do you have pretty jewelry you barely wear? Wear it! You already have it!

What's one small thing you wish you could do every day, that you aren't already doing?

When you've answered that, ask yourself, why not? What's actually stopping me?

my daily routine ✨

[sabinahahn]

Jane Austen (1775–1817) Austen never lived alone and had little expectation of solitude in her daily life. Her final home, a cottage in the village of Chawton, England, was no exception: she lived there with her mother, her sister, a close friend, and three servants, and there was a steady stream of visitors, often unannounced. ...

Austen wrote in the family sitting room, “subject to all kinds of casual interruptions,” her nephew recalled. She was careful that her occupation should not be suspected by servants, or visitors, or any persons beyond her own family party. She wrote upon small sheets of paper which could easily be put away, or covered with a piece of blotting paper. There was, between the front door and the offices, a swing door which creaked when it was opened; but she objected to having this little inconvenience remedied, because it gave her notice when anyone was coming. “Composition seems to me impossible with a head full of joints of mutton & doses of rhubarb.” From Daily rituals by Mason Currey

Daily Draw - 1/5/23 - Sacred Rebels Oracle (Alana Fairchild)

43 - Come To Life

Not a card I've drawn before, but I do rather love the imagery. She's painting herself in colour, using her own agency to make herself alive. I can't help but see the monkey as an avatar of Djehuty, and the crow/bird as Hekate. I love the detail of the small tufts of grass poking up through the tiles. The butterflies, too, are a common symbol of transformation.

There's a lot of challenge in this card for me, bc I am often good at putting off things I ought to do out of dumb fears my brain has about things not going well, or going too well, so I just don't do them. But at least this card pull has spurred me on to do a couple of things I've been putting off, and it does remind me that I'm the one in charge of my life. If it's shit, well, what are you going to do about that to make it not shit? Sure, some things are outside of my control, but there's still some things I can control, and tbh, even though I did have a bit of a low period today for various reasons *gestures at the world* I still feel good about where I'm going.

I feel good about the routine I'm making, too. My brain doesn't want to push against it. Even though we had ppl over for tea, and maybe I got to my rites later than I would have liked, I still did them. I wanted to do them. And that, to me, is a sign I've got this working right.

For so long over the past four years, I've often felt so disconnected from my gods and my practice. And to feel that connection again? To feel daily rites finally come easy to me again after so many years of it just failing on me? That's a good feeling. Fandom can keep me going, but the gods are what truly nourish me.

And this card, like so many things in my life right now, is just poking at me to Do The Things. bc sometimes I do need poking. But this card in particular talks about letting everything just flow, and expressing myself through journalling or other creative expressions. To let the emotions be felt. And I def think that's part of why I wanted to do my daily draws this way. To actually sit down and write out my own thoughts and reflections on the cards and their meanings, bc I am so frequently shit at this kind of thing on my own. Ask me to journal my feels, and I won't be able to manage it. But having a prompt in the form of a card is definitely the framework I needed. And being able to just share these on tumblr as well makes it easy. I don't need a fancy notebook. Don't need to fret about what happens when I fill up a notebook and where to store them. Just post here, and write, and let everything flow out as it wants to.

The oracle finishes with this:

"The message of this card is 'Be alive!" Don't imagine you can go back to sleep. You are too awake for that now. There is no falling back into odl ways. If you do so, it will be short lived and won't feel the same as it used to. You may grieve this. You will certainly (eventually) celebrate it. You have crossed the threshold from an old way of being in an old life and try as you might, you cannot return. It is better to let it go. Grieve if needs be, celebrate if needs be or do both and move on into thei moment. Ther eis another adventure awaiting you now. You need a deeper connection to your own instincts, body, feelings, and intuitions so that you can receive this new calling. You can trust in it, too. Embrace it and it will embrace you."

And like, if that doesn't sum up the entirety of where I am now, well. I do feel this has been in progress since the pandemic hit, though. It brought on necessary changes that I'd been too scared to adopt or to try for, things that I needed to be forced into doing. It's why I call myself Lex now. I'd grown out of Sasha. They served me well for a very long time, but it's not who I am anymore.

And I keep thinking of a line I wrote in a transfic a while ago, "I don't know how to be that version of me yet." bc that's still so true for me. I'm in this odd place of knowing, and not knowing, and fighting against barriers not of my own making that make it difficult for me to really thrive. I don't know how to be me yet. But I can't go back. I am who I am now, and that's just how things are.

And I do feel that. I feel those urges to Do Things and push and get myself unstuck. It just sometimes feels like the hardest thing in the world to do. Maybe, with time, it won't feel so hard. idk.

(also that transfic linked about is like, allllll my pandemic gender feels compressed into like 4k words of fic about block game men so. *throws hands up*) (I also think it's arguably one of the best things I've ever written)

5 Ways to Use Chi Activation for Daily Energy Balance

Energy work doesn't have to be complicated.

With Chi Activation's multi-frequency approach, you can tap into exactly what your body needs, when it needs it.

Here's how to use it throughout your day:

Morning Grounding Ritual Start your day by connecting to the Earth Star chakra energy - it's like having an energetic anchor 6 inches below your feet. This ultra-grounding frequency helps you stay centered when your morning gets hectic. Unlike basic grounding techniques, this one creates a sustained connection that can last for hours.

High-Vibe Afternoon Pick-Me-Up Skip the coffee. When that 3 PM slump hits, tune into the Soul Star chakra energy instead. This high-frequency energy sits above your crown chakra and delivers a clean energetic boost without the jitters. Perfect for pushing through those endless Zoom meetings.

Heart-Centered Communication Before difficult conversations, activate your heart chakra frequency. Chi Activation lets you specifically target this nurturing energy, making it easier to stay balanced while speaking your truth. Pro tip: You can even do this while talking - no need to pause or find a quiet space.

Energy Field Reset Found yourself drained after being around negative people? Use dual-frequency healing - combine the Earth Star's stabilizing energy with the Soul Star's high vibrations. This creates an energetic "shower" that cleanses your aura. Most people don't know you can use multiple frequencies simultaneously, but it's a game-changer.

Nighttime Harmony Before bed, try the "string technique" - set a grounding frequency in place while channeling gentle heart chakra energy. This double-layer approach helps your body naturally find its sleep rhythm without forcing relaxation.

The best part? You can do all of these while going about your regular day. No special meditation space required. Chi Activation works whether you're commuting, working, or binge-watching your favorite show.

Remember: Your body knows which frequency it needs. Trust your intuition - if you feel drawn to a particular energy, that's probably exactly what your system is craving in the moment.

A Morning Love Letter

It’s the little things that ground us—tiny rituals that bridge the past with the present, giving us strength for the future. What small act keeps you going each day? Read my morning reflection here:

I embrace you, your warmth softening my cold, stiff hands. I draw you in, inhaling the fragrance of mornings long past. Bitter. Nostalgic. You carry whispers of my grandmother, her delicate ritual— me drawing, her sipping. You were there, your warmth invigorating her as she faced her own chain of problems. Now, like her, I sip. Still bitter, yet somehow, I love you. Thank you for…
