We need more Witches to share their non-decorative and not super organized grimoires. We have to show the community that grimoires don’t need to be super artistic to be valid! While I love seeing the talent and artistry some witches possess, it really does fuck with my perfectionism seeing just nothing but beautiful perfect grimoires. And I know i’m not the only one. We have to start normalizing the messy, chaotic, plain, and imperfect grimoire!

Already starting to plan this years garden so I thought I should do a post on Witch Gardens

Tarot Tips: The Importance of the Four Elements

When learning tarot, start broad; don’t just try to learn each card’s meaning because there is so much more to that card than the few words your booklet uses to describe it! Keeping other areas of practice in mind can make reading much more intuitive. This is a little crash course on how the minor arcana and court cards are influenced by the four elements!

🌲Earth����

Minor Arcana Suit: Pentacles 

Court Cards: Pages

Earth influences the Pentacles cards by gearing their meanings more towards the physical or “earthly” aspects of life. When learning the meanings of the Pentacles cards, keep in mind that you should apply their meanings to concepts like finances, physical health, and family!

The Pages or Daughters of the deck are often very stubborn and ground; when combined with the element of their suit this approach to life can lead to a variety of outcomes.

☁️Air☁️

Minor Arcana Suit: Swords 

Court Cards: Knights

Air influences the Swords cards by gearing their meanings more towards the intellectual and practical aspects of life. When learning the meanings of the Swords cards, keep in mind that you should apply their meanings to concepts like intellectual pursuits, the logistics of situations, and are often beacons of change!

The Knights or Sons are winds of change; their constant movement combined with the element of their suit leads them to be dynamic characters.

💧Water💧

Minor Arcana Suit: Cups

Court Cards: Queens

Water influences the Cups cards by gearing their meanings more towards the emotional and spiritual aspects of life. When learning the meanings of the Cups cards, keep in mind that you should apply their meanings to concepts like emotions, relationship dynamics, and self reflection!

The Queens or Mothers are in touch with themselves; when combined with their suit it is easy to see how they interact with themselves and others, especially on an emotional level.

🔥Fire🔥

Minor Arcana Suit: Wands 

Court Cards: Kings

Fire influences the Wands cards by gearing their meanings more towards the active and passion based aspects of life. When learning the meanings of the Wands cards, keep in mind that you should apply their meanings to concepts like actions, impulses, and passion driven pursuits!

The Kings or Fathers are forces of nature; when combined with the element of their suit it is capable to see how these characters act and the motives behind their, sometimes hasty, decisions.

♡ how to make lavender milk ♡

happy full moon in aries! today i am showing you guys how to make lavender milk ♡ lavender has been prized for centuries for its gentle healing properties & soothing fragrance. as most of you already know, every year i grow lavender in my garden. throughout the season i harvest the plant (when the purple flowers are bright and young), tie the branches together, and hang in a cool dark place to dry. the dried lavender can be used in beauty products, aromatherapy, baking, tea, herbal remedies, spiritual rituals, and in drinks! when ingested, lavender can help promote relaxation and sleep. 

lavender milk is floral, pretty, and comforting. the flavour is at once fragrant and light from the flowers, but full, warm, and sweet from the milk and honey. i use nut milk (almond or cashew), because i think the nuttiness pairs well with the slightly bitter lavender, complimented by the addition of raw honey and pure vanilla extract. raw honey, ideally ethically and locally produced, still carries a range of health benefits that processed honey does not. it is antibacterial, antiviral, and soothing. give this recipe a try & experience the healing powers of drinking lavender ♡

ingredients: 

♡ 1 cup nut milk (cashew or almond tastes best. if you’re allergic, you can use soy, rice, flax, or oat milk. you could also use a flavoured alternative milk- try vanilla!)

♡ 2-3 tablespoons of lavender, more or less depending on how strong you want the lavender flavour to be. 

♡ 1 tsp of raw honey or more to taste 

♡ ¼ tsp vanilla extract 

directions:

in a small pot, combine milk and dried lavender. let simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes (do not boil- the goal is to achieve a nice infusion of lavender, which involves a longer, slower heating process. you don’t want to scorch the milk or flowers!), longer if you desire a stronger flavour. you’ll notice the lavender beginning to lose its colour. remove pot from heat, strain, and compost the flowers. while it’s still hot, dissolve a teaspoon or more of raw honey to taste, and add the ¼ teaspoon of vanilla extract. and there you have it, your own lavender milk! fragrant, soft, and delicate. let it lull you to sleep or incorporate it into your relaxation routine. you can try this recipe with a variety of other edible flowers, like rose, chamomile or borage, or a blend of flowers! nothing will make you feel more like a princess ♡
