Lowkey fucked up by getting opalite as opposed to a natural stone

Anyone know if that affects its effectiveness spiritually?

[thecouncilofmagic]

Hey hi!

Does anyone have an essential oil safety sheet on hand? I know some can be irritating, so you're supposed to dilute it, and some have ingredients that can be harmful to pets, ect, but if anyone has and is willing to share a more comprehensive guide, it'd be really appreciated /no pressure

About Halloween/Samhain

I suppose it's a good thing Ace and co don't have any particularly spiritual association with today; yes, it is their favorite holiday, but nix doesn't have/hasn't established any rituals or practices surrounding October 31st... which is quite odd, all things considered, what with typical witch behaviors and customs, but whatever makes nix happy

Just means it's more willing to share the holiday - so long as it has a chance to dress up and get candy, nix is happy

The more personally significant aspect of today is that it is my birthday - yes, a demon chose Halloween as xyr birthday, can you blame me? The air feels like electricity, I feel most alive on this day

Of course, age doesn't exist when you're eternal, and my alter formation date is lost to time, but that's just semantics

I have my own special date, a day to celebrate my existence - outside of the body's birth day

It feels... like claiming ownership of my self, having autonomy and worth outside of my roots

Done for now, gonna make another chart for the celestial bodies, associated traits, Houses, degrees, ect later

It's not part of my practice, but I'm jotting down astrology info for fun and waahhhh It's fantastic for our ocpd brain, because there's an established set of data (the constellations, names, signs, ect) which makes organizing it into charts so easy and fun and satisfying ^.^

Ace wanted me to share my outfit too :3

Felt whimsical and pretty...

100% not my usual style, but I think (another) witchy alter is co-conscious and influenced our outfit today

Something that I'm coming to learn/understand is that magic can be mundane

It doesn't have to be crystals and tarot decks, potion/spell jars and deity work

There's magic in anything and everything, if only you look for it

It's kind of beautiful

I've always tried to live by the belief that you should appreciate and acknowledge all the little things in life - it's what makes life worth living after all

And I think that is tying into my newfound spirituality?

For example, making a coffee for my partners and I... the process felt like creating a spell of love and comfort

[thecouncilofmagic]

Since it's that time for me, I figured I'd share one of my potions with you all 🩷✨️

These here are Period BOMBS. You don't always need to be on your cycle to use these, they're great for reproductive health as well. 🌸

What You'll Need

•Pitcher/Container - I have some 10oz jars that look like little bulbs (found on amazon) that I use, hence the name. If you'd like a bigger batch, I suggest a pitcher, but Mason jars work for daily use.

•Raspberry Leaf Tea - This herbal tea contains tannins and fragarine, which have been known to help alleviate PMS symptoms.

•Hibiscus - You can also buy the tea bags if it's easier to find than dried Hibiscus, but this flower is said to relax muscles around the bladder and uterus, easing cramping.

•Rose - Also comes in tea form, and it is easy to find at your local apothecary. This flower is packed with vitamins C & E, promoting healthy skin & fighting off infections.

•Lemon - You can use fresh lemons or lemon juice. Lemons can help ease or lighten the bleeding that comes with this time of the month. Lemon water is also known to promote hydration.

•Honey - This is just to sweeten to taste, or you will have a very bitter tea.

Mix together to your taste & liking. Remember to strain if you use loose leaf herbs! Take this recipe to tweak to your needs! This is what helps me, and I want to share in case it helps another. 🖤✨️

We got an app, A Guide to Crystals - The CC by The Citrine Circle, a while ago for rocks/minerals/geology purposes, but re-downloaded it recently for crystal associations

Hopefully it's as intuitive for spirituality as it was for geology
