Jewish bride and her mother in Djerba, Tunisia, 1983
The Tunisian Jewish bride was hennaed first by her mother-in-law, and then the following day again by a professional artist. The bride would sleep with the henna and strings overnight. In the morning, the women come to the bride’s house to check if the henna came out nicely; if it is good, they kiss her fingers and praise her beauty. If the colour is not strong enough, then they henna her again; all in all, the bride is hennaed about four or five times over the course of a week. The Jews of Djerba continued this tradition well into the 20th century.

Would you dance, if i asked you to dance? 😫🫣
A wip for now,,,,
#wip#stardew valley#Stardew valley Abigail#Stardew valley penny#have this for now cause I’m still figuring out how the other bachelorettes would dress#for the spring flower dance#i might keep the vibes very coquettish with the lace/ruffles and ribbons#and like very cottage core obvi#cause ‘florals for spring..groundbreaking’#the flower dance gives of very strong traditional pagan fertility ritual energy????#and i am trying to figure out how some of the characters will put a spin on the ‘uniform’ they’re supposed to wear#make flower dance outfits gay af basically#let Abigail wear her converse with her dress cause baby thats just meeeee#also lowkey stressing over maximalist-ic layering cause on one hand i can see some of the gorlies are more minimalist#but i wanna play with TEXTURES#doing 2 outfits cause I’m insane and i have too many ideas#rip to my limp wrist

"The doctor should be asexual and aromantic" not in a 'the doctor should never be in a relationship' way but in a 'the doctor's feelings for rose go so far beyond the traditional human structures for relationships that they cannot begin to be defined in those terms' way
#tho tbf i do also think the doctor should not have been in a relationship with anyone after rose#except the master ofc but that's a whole other story#anyway#i think he's happy enough to fashion his relationship with the people he loves around the traditions of their species#but their strange little rituals are not something he needs or couldn't do without#he could love rose in whatever form she wanted and be equally happy with any#and that's probably the crux of their appeal for me#doctor who#tenrose#time petals#rose tyler#the doctor

Celebrating the Summer Solstice: A Witch's Guide to Litha
🌞🔥🌿
As the wheel of the year turns to the height of summer, we embrace the vibrant energy of Litha, also known as the Summer Solstice. This magical festival marks the longest day and shortest night of the year, a time when the sun stands still and the Earth is bathed in its fullest light. Let's dive into the essence of Litha, explore how witches celebrate this sun-drenched festival, and discover rituals, spells, and traditions to honor this radiant time.
What is Litha?
Litha, celebrated on or around June 21st, is a festival of light, abundance, and the peak of the sun's power. It symbolizes the triumph of light over darkness and is a time of joy, growth, and the bountiful gifts of the Earth.
How Do Witches Celebrate Litha?
Witches celebrate Litha with outdoor rituals, bonfires, feasts, and a deep connection to nature. It’s a time to honor the sun, embrace its energy, and celebrate the fertility of the Earth.
Rituals and Spells for Litha
🔥 Bonfire Rituals: Lighting bonfires or candles symbolizes the sun’s energy and power. Jump over the fire (safely) or a candle to bring good luck and cleanse yourself of negative energies.
🌿 Flower Crowns and Herb Gatherings: Create flower crowns and gather herbs like St. John’s Wort, lavender, and rosemary, which are potent at this time.
💧 Sun Water: Collect water in a clear jar and leave it in the sun to absorb its energy. Use this sun-charged water in rituals and spells for vitality and empowerment.
✨ Sun Meditation: Meditate outdoors, focusing on the warmth and light of the sun. Visualize its energy filling you with strength and positivity.
Litha and Sacred Symbols
🌞 The Sun: The central symbol of Litha, representing life, energy, and power. Honor the sun with sun-shaped symbols, colors like gold, yellow, and orange, and sunflowers.
🔥 Fire: Symbolizing transformation and purification. Incorporate fire into your rituals through candles, bonfires, or even a simple flame.
🌸 Flowers and Herbs: Representing the Earth’s abundance and fertility. Decorate your altar with fresh flowers and use herbs in your spells and rituals.
Other Litha Traditions
🥗 Feasting: Celebrate with a feast of summer fruits, vegetables, and dishes cooked on an open fire. Share your bounty with loved ones, embracing the spirit of abundance.
🎁 Gift-Giving: Exchange small, sun-themed tokens of appreciation and blessings with friends and family.
🏞️ Nature Walks and Outdoor Activities: Spend time in nature, appreciating the beauty and energy of the season. Collect natural items for your altar or as offerings.
Litha is a time to celebrate the peak of solar energy, embrace the fullness of life, and set intentions for growth and abundance. Whether through rituals, spells, or simply basking in the sun’s glory, Litha offers a moment to connect deeply with the natural world and its rhythms. As we honor the longest day of the year, may the light of the sun fill your heart with joy, your mind with clarity, and your spirit with boundless energy.
Blessed Litha to all!

Astarion's Ascension - Traditional art (pencils, gold acrylic, PS edit). Sketch here.
You had demons to kill within you screaming With a gun loaded with guilt You opened their eyes [...] Bleed well, the soul you're about to sell For passion deranged [...] Bleed well, the heart you're about to fail For reasons insane Kill and tell Baby, we're bleeding well In hell [...] I heard you weeping And on those words, a church was built To keep the pain in
#not very happy with this but whatever. I can move on to my next wip#as soon as I feel better and got free time#my art#astarion#ascended astarion#ascension ritual#bg3#ivy's bg 3 era#traditional art#hey blr what the fuk are you doing to my text

The Ritual
Kirk and Spock end up in ancient Vulcan, long before Surak teachings, an important ancestral ritual is about to happen and the performer has become ill. Not that surprisingly Spock is well-versed in the long forgotten dance and he's chosen to perform by the very surprised eyes of Jim.
Illustration done for K/S Advent 2023
To see the process, tests and details go to chapter 2 in my AO3

The Magickal Properties of Carrier/Base Oils
In ancient times, our ancestors revered the power of oils, utilizing them in sacred ceremonies, rituals, and magickal workings that spanned centuries. Today, we have the privilege of carrying on this tradition by creating our own blends using the same flora & fauna that have been cherished for millennia. The practice of crafting sacred oils connects us to our roots, offering a meaningful way to honor the past while enriching our present-day experiences.
Carrier/base oils play a crucial role in the world of magick and holistic practices. These oils, derived from plants, seeds, and animal fats, are believed to possess unique energetic properties that can enhance the potency of essential oils and other magickal ingredients we add to them. Whether used in aromatherapy, massage, ritual work, or spell work the choice of carrier oil is significant, as each oil is associated with specific magickal attributes, such as grounding, protection, or amplification of intention. Understanding the magickal properties of carrier oils can empower practitioners to create custom blends that resonate with their intentions and desired outcomes, adding an extra layer of enchantment to their craft.
Magickal Properties of Carrier/Base Oils:
These plant and seed-based oils come from my own grimoire based on my own traditions and practice.

My husband made me yet another amazing piece of Ritual Pottery—this time in the form of a Labyrinth Stone.
Next, I will ritually smoke the clay with an assortment of precious materials—such as Ghost Pipe, Snake Skin, Thorn Apple, and Bee Comb—before anointing the piece with my personally developed Wisefool's Oil and allowing it to bask overnight beneath the silver rays of the Full Moon. Thereafter, I will utilize it in Hedge-Crossing rites.
(While photographing, a spider walked onto the Labyrinth Stone, and I was lucky enough to capture the moment by chance!)
