Self-Love Mini Spell
You will need:
Mirror
Rose quartz
Pink candle
Tumblr media
Self-love doesn’t come very easily to some of us. But loving yourself is the stepping stone to a successful relationship. It motivates us to practice positive behavior. Self-love is not falling into self-hatred or shame when we mess up. If you are doubting yourself and need a little self-love boost, try this little spell daily until you truly love yourself inside and out.
Light your pink candle and hold the rose quartz in your dominant hand. Say out loud while looking in the mirror:
Tumblr media
“I love myself fully and unconditionally. I treat myself with love and respect. I make positive choices for myself. As I will it so mote it be.”
Focus on how you feel and will feel when you obtain self-love. Imagine all the positive choices that lie ahead and picture yourself choosing happiness and positivity. When you are done, blow out your candle.
Tumblr media
Good luck, don’t forget you’re beautiful inside and out!

💀 Boundaries guide 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 behavior.
🌊 𝑩𝑶𝑼𝑵𝑫𝑨𝑹𝑰𝑬𝑺 𝑨𝑹𝑬:
⚡️ 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 expectations and needs that help 𝒚𝒐𝒖 feel safe and comfortable in 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 relationships.
⚡️ a personal rule 𝒚𝒐𝒖 make to protect 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛 from other people/triggers.
⚡️ boundaries are setting limits to what 𝒚𝒐𝒖 are personally willing to do or tolerate [i.e., I won’t be around XX (because it upsets and triggers me)]
✨ a lot of people get confused with boundaries because they want 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙞𝙧 boundary to 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥 what 𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 do.
✨ Boundaries are about the outcome for 𝙪𝙨, to protect or contain 𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒗𝒆𝒔, and to connect with others, 𝐧𝐨𝐭 to disconnect ourselves more
✨ Ultimately, a boundary is something that 𝒚𝒐𝒖 have to determine for 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛 ― not something you can force 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙚𝙡𝙨𝙚 to comply with.
💀 Rules guide 𝐒𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐎𝐍𝐄 𝐄𝐋𝐒𝐄’𝐒 behavior.
💥 A rule is something that says what 𝒊𝒔 and 𝒊𝒔 𝒏𝒐𝒕 allowed. (i.e., No smoking in the house.)
✨A rule is something 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝙚𝙣𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙘𝙚 on 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙚𝙡𝙨𝙚 to 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙡 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙞𝙧 𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 [and can easily be weaponized in hostile/toxic relationships and situations (landlord/tenant, romantic relationship, familial relationships, etc)].
✨ Rules are hard fast, less forgiving, more specific and are usually created to prevent chaos or for safety reasons.
✨ It may be tempting to lay down a laundry list of rules in order to make relationships/situations less messy and chaotic, but that’s 𝙣𝙤𝙩 how you establish meaningful connections with others.
💫 So, basically :
🏹 Boundaries = “I Won’t.”
• 𝙄 𝙒𝙊𝙉’𝙏 stay in the same room as you if 𝙮𝙤𝙪’𝙧𝙚 going to yell at me.
🔪 Rules = “You Can’t.”
• 𝙔𝙊𝙐 𝘾𝘼𝙉’𝙏 use social media.
✨ Protecting yourself relationally means having a healthy understanding of where 𝙔𝙊𝙐 end and 𝙊𝙏𝙃𝙀𝙍𝙎 begin.
✨ 𝙒𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙬𝙚 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜, 𝙬𝙚 𝙙𝙤 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙤𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙖 𝙣𝙚𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙡 𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙤𝙧 𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙖 𝙣𝙚𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙥𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙚 𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙨.
🔥 “No,” is a full sentence. Unless you’ve sold your soul to a crossroads demon, nobody is entitled to an explanation unless you choose to give one.
🔮 And, as always, time is fake and everyone you don’t know in public is an NPC, so don’t worry, they’re not paying attention to you, I promise.

Monday Draft - The Witches of Månenshavn
*hello hello! decided to reupload my small drabble about my very super self indulgent AU. Blame the weather, but autumn just brought all the witchy vibes in me! Enjoy!*
Tumblr media
(.......)
Sitting on the cozy couch, Dorothea looked out of the huge glass window of the sunroom. From the distance, she could see the city lights, twinkling against the black of the night like diamonds kissed by sunlight.
The first thing that made her feel like she wasn’t in England anymore was the quiet, warm stillness that lingered in the air.
Their house was sitting far enough that the lights would not pollute the vision of the sky above her.
Through the glass roof, she could see so many stars twinkling, and the moon herself with her silvery light - only a thin sliver showing, as she prepared to hide from view in the nights ahead.
She took a velvet pillow from the other side of the couch and put it behind her back, before tugging her blanket tighter around her shoulders: it wasn’t cold at all, despite the first signs of autumn that were starting to peak through the days. Still, she always liked to be cocooned.
The couch was as cozy as she remembered it being: so soft it felt like sinking in a cloud. With a low chuckle, Dorothea caressed the ridges of the threads Colette had used for the embroidering on the backseat of Dorothea’s favourite spot: silvers and gold and white against a midnight blue velvet, a star shining alone against the immensity of the night sky.
“I must say, I love what you have done to the sofa,” Dorothea said, turning to look toward the shadows of the adjacent room.
“I knew you would have approved,” she heard a low velvety voice chuckle back at her. “Can’t sleep, Sugar Plum?”
“Not quite,” she answered with a smile, turning to look. Even if the woman was still concealed in the shadows, she didn’t need her eyes to know where she was. “ You would think that the journey had worn me out, and by now I would be snoring like Lucia. Yet, I cannot. The Moon must be in my blood tonight,”
“As she always is, bichette. She never seems to leave you; much like the stars themselves, I dare say, considering the amount of stardust I always find in your trail,”
Dorothea’s laughter filled the room, accompanied by Colette’s own husky one, as the tall dark-haired woman finally entered the sunroom, the light of dark candles kissing her skin. Dorothea saw that she was looking at her with unmistakable affection, leaning against the door frame, wrapped in the same pajama of dark silk she always remembered her having.
Colette De Beaumont was a woman of rare beauty but, Dorothea thought, that beauty didn’t come just from her bright happy eyes or her chiseled features.
It came from her soul and such a splendid one it was.
She had never known a kinder woman, a more generous one.
Even now, as she was looking upon her, she was beaming, as if the sun itself was shining from within her, her tender face and her kind eyes filled with such soft light that Dorothea always felt at peace when she looked at her.
“Do you mind if I join you?” Colette finally asked,
“Not at all,” Dorothea answered, patting the spot just beside her.
Colette plopped on the couch, tucking her feet under her own legs. With a small gesture of her hand, directed toward the kitchen, she had her own cauldron bubbling away in minutes, and a fragrant perfume filled the air.
“Mmm, Lavander…” murmured Dorothea, scooting a little closer to Colette and enveloping her in the same blanket she was using.
“Freshly harvested this morning, bichette. Your wind alerted us of your arrival, so I thought you would appreciate”
Dorothea chuckled, cheeks turning red from joy.
“Was Lucia miffed?”
“That you almost made her fall from her hammock? Just a little,”
An impish smile appeared on Dorothea’s lips, mirrored by Colette. She leaned against the back of the sofa, taking in a deep sigh of relief, nestling her head in the pillows.
“I missed all of this. These smells, these colours, you and Lucia…it had been immensely hard being away from you two,” she murmured, taking Colette’s hand in hers and giving it a little squeeze.
“Did you at least find what you were looking for in London?”
Dorothea sighed, raising her eyes toward the sky.
“Not entirely. I tried to make contact with the Coven presiding over London, but no one could help me decipher the dreams. Or rather, they did, but the answers were… inconclusive. I still do not know what to think of it,”
“Could it be that this time your dreams were only that? Dreams?”
Dorothea sighed again, murmuring a small “thank you” when a cup of freshly brewed tea floated in her hand. She smiled when she noticed that Colette had used her favorite set of china.
“I know not. I cannot be sure. And I hate not having answers," she whispered, pursing her lips in a thin line.
Part of her wanted to agree with Colette.
Part of her, the most irrational one, kept believing that there was something interwoven in the weft of her dreams, a warning of some sort.
Against whom, she didn’t know.
Colette remained silent, as she looked at the younger woman lost in thoughts, and sad to see that the melancholy hadn’t left her eyes.
“Well, at least you had this handsome rugged fellow keeping you company, am I right?” Colette said, gently caressing the feather of the crow that was sitting on the back of the couch. The raven gave out a deep croak, his hackles fluffing up as if to show how the shine of his feathers. “If I didn’t know any better, I would assume that your little friend here is rather pleased with my compliment,”
Dorothea rolled her eyes with a small smile.
“Tell me about it. We almost lost the proper current that would carry us back home, because Belial here was too busy preening at his wings,”
As if to answer her, the raven let out another croak, jumping on her shoulder to peck at her hair. But the pecks were light and the familiar had no intention of hurting her.
“Did you call for him?”
Dorothea shook her head, her short curls bouncing with the movement.
“He found me. I was sitting on top of the Big Ben, just taking in the view of the City, and he arrived to keep me company. He has been with me ever since,”
“Sounds almost like someone sent him to watch over you,”
Dorothea turned to look at the bird, his dark eyes shining with a playful light. She scrunched her nose as she smiled, stroking her nose against the bird’s shiny beak.
“Sounds like it,” she giggled.
Then, she turned serious again, looking outside the window that faced the seaside.
“I will miss the rain,” she whispered, closing her eyes as she remembered all the nights spent awake, when her dreams kept her awake and insomnia got the best of her, and all she could do was stay up and read a book. The pitter-patter of the raindrops against the windows of her room in the old manor that was her residency while in England had always felt like gentle company.
“Månenhavn is not that bad,” Colette murmured, caressing her hair and landing a kiss on top of her head. “You’ll see, with autumn coming soon, you will feel at home again in no time. And with Lucia now joining us for good, our powers will keep this place safe and sound,”
“I was so happy when you wrote me about her return. I felt so bad about leaving you alone to protect the city-”
Colette pinched her lips between her fingers, smiling that warm smile that made everyone feel at home.
“I won’t listen to another word, Dorlé. You needed to follow your path, and I am honestly happy that you did. Besides, your banishing spell was strong enough that it kept all the Banes at bay. Not even the clouds managed to pass through - which caused a little problem with the local climate, but my brother came to lend me a hand and we solved the problem before it could turn into something more serious,”
Dorothea giggled, muttering a small “sorry” before asking: “How are Antoine and Mathias faring?”
Colette faltered a moment, before answering, and Dorothea noticed her moment of hesitancy.
Something had happened, she could see it in the woman's amber eyes.

Spooky Self-Care
It’s that time of year again—Halloween, when everything gets a little spooky and a lot more fun. But while ghosts and goblins might be lurking around every corner, there’s something scarier that we all face from time to time: burnout and stress. High school can feel like a haunted house, filled with deadlines, exams, and social pressures that can seriously drain your energy.
But fear not! Instead of letting the stress of school and life creep up on you, this Halloween, it’s time to practice some spooky self-care. 🎃 Self-care doesn’t have to be boring or time-consuming—it can be fun, festive, and even Halloween-themed! So grab your favorite cozy blanket and some candy corn, because we’re about to dive into how you can treat yourself right this spooky season.
1. Pumpkin-Spiced Self-Care
Who doesn’t love a little pumpkin spice this time of year? You’ve seen it in lattes, cookies, and even candles. But did you know you can turn that fall flavor into a relaxing self-care routine?
Pumpkin-spiced skincare is a real thing! You can find pumpkin-scented face masks or even DIY one at home using pumpkin puree, honey, and cinnamon. Pumpkins are packed with vitamins A and C, which are great for your skin. So while everyone’s carving their jack-o’-lanterns, you can carve out some time for yourself and treat your skin to a festive spa night. 🧖‍♀️
2. Watch Feel-Good, Not Feel-Fright Movies
Sure, horror movies are all the rage during Halloween, but sometimes watching something too spooky can mess with your mental health, especially if you’re already feeling stressed or anxious. So instead of turning to the usual jump-scare flicks, why not opt for feel-good Halloween classics? Movies like Hocus Pocus, The Nightmare Before Christmas, or Casper are just spooky enough to get you into the Halloween spirit, but without leaving you feeling like you need to sleep with the lights on.
Laughter and light-hearted fun can be a great way to unwind after a tough day of school or when you're feeling overwhelmed by all the homework monsters chasing you. 🎬
3. Candy Corn and Chill: Indulge in Sweet Treats
Halloween is the perfect excuse to indulge your sweet tooth! While balance is always important, allowing yourself to enjoy some festive treats can be a simple form of self-care. Bake some Halloween-themed cookies, make caramel apples, or create your own hot chocolate bar with spooky marshmallows and sprinkles.
Food can be comforting, but it’s important to eat mindfully—focus on how it makes you feel, and enjoy the experience rather than just munching through a bag of candy in one sitting. Treating yourself to something sweet is a fun way to show yourself a little love (just be careful not to overdo it, or you might feel like a zombie later!). 🍬
4. Ghosting Stress: Halloween-Themed Journaling
Journaling is one of the best ways to clear out the cobwebs in your mind and process your feelings. For a spooky twist, try a Halloween-themed journaling session. Write about your favorite Halloween memories, or even create your own spooky stories. You could also list the things that “haunt” you—like stress, anxiety, or fears—and then write about how you plan to overcome them.
Seeing your thoughts on paper can make them less intimidating, like unmasking a ghost in a Scooby-Doo episode. Journaling can help you manage your mental health by giving you a space to vent, reflect, and work through your emotions. 📝
5. Cozy Up with Some Witchy Vibes
There’s nothing better than snuggling up on a chilly October night with some candles, a comfy blanket, and maybe a cup of tea (or a pumpkin spice latte!). Setting up a cozy atmosphere can be a great way to practice self-care. Try lighting fall-scented candles, like cinnamon or apple, and curling up with a good book or just listening to some relaxing music.
Taking a break from the digital world and getting lost in a good book or calming playlist can do wonders for your mental health. It’s all about slowing down and creating a peaceful environment where you can recharge your “magic.” ✨
6. Beware of Burnout: Take a Breather
Halloween parties, school events, and hanging out with friends can be a lot of fun—but if you’re already feeling overwhelmed, it’s okay to take a step back. You don’t need to be everywhere at once, like a Halloween ghost popping in and out of different parties. Sometimes, the best self-care is simply saying “no” to an invitation and recharging your social battery.
Whether it’s staying in for a quiet night or just taking a break from your usual routine, know that it’s okay to prioritize yourself and your mental health. You don’t need to wear a mask (literal or metaphorical) to impress anyone. 🎭
7. Get Moving with Some Monster Mash
Exercise is a great way to release tension, boost your mood, and shake off stress, but it doesn’t have to be boring. Turn your workout into a Halloween dance party by blasting some spooky hits like “Monster Mash,” “Thriller,” or “Ghostbusters.” Dance like no one’s watching, or try out a Halloween-themed yoga flow (yes, you can find videos for “witchy yoga” online!).
Moving your body helps release endorphins, also known as the “feel-good” chemicals in your brain, which can lift your spirits and leave you feeling more energized. So grab your broomstick, put on your best Halloween playlist, and get moving! 💃
8. Embrace the Dark (But in a Good Way)
While some people fear the dark, there’s something calming about embracing a bit of darkness during Halloween. Dim the lights, light some candles, and practice deep breathing or meditation. Darkness can be soothing and allow you to focus inward, helping you relax and tune out the external world for a bit.
Even 10 minutes of mindfulness or meditation can do wonders for your mental health, especially if you’re feeling like life is as chaotic as a haunted house. Find a quiet corner, let the darkness wrap around you like a cozy blanket, and take a moment to just breathe.
Self-Care Isn’t Scary 👻
Halloween doesn’t have to be all about scares and spooks—it can also be a time to focus on taking care of yourself. Whether you’re pampering yourself with pumpkin-spiced skincare, indulging in your favorite Halloween treats, or dancing to the “Monster Mash,” self-care can be a fun and festive way to boost your mental health.
Just remember: self-care isn’t selfish. It’s a way to recharge your mind, body, and soul so that you can face whatever challenges come your way. So this Halloween, treat yourself to some spooky self-care, and let your inner witch or wizard shine!
Happy Halloween, and don’t forget to take care of yourself—no tricks, all treats! 🎃💀

I hated myself for the longest time for prioritising people other than myself. Because a lot of those people weren’t worth it, but I kept hearing “oh but it’s family, you HAVE to help”.
Guess what, I don’t have to do shit. Especially when I’m being treated like one. And when I didn’t help, all I heard was “but we did this and this for you, I’m helping you all the time!” Which wasn’t true of course.
And here’s the thing. You may be telling yourself the same thing. Oh it’s family, I should do everything they want even though I don’t get any recognition and people still treat me like shit.
No.
Cut people off.
Trust me, if it’s getting unbearable it doesn’t fucking matter that it’s family. Cut them off. Protect your mental health man.

Mindfulness 🦋
🌾🐺🌘There are several healthier ways to cope with difficult emotions and express yourself creatively. Here are a few suggestions: 1.

Any book recommendations on druidism? Or Celtic Ogham divination?
I can't find any on my library database and I was wondering if it's cause I'm from a small Canadian town and the information is out there somewhere

Magickal Books to Read Right Now
Well met my friends.  Are you interested in learning a little bit more about the word “magick”, but feel it is taboo?  Were you raised “a certain way” and are not sure what it means if you feel called to learn more about witches, magick, apothecaries, and the like?  Have no fear.  I have created something for the person who wants to add a little bit more “magick” to their lives but isn’t sure if…
