🌟 Sona Samhain 🌟

In this day of Samhain, I feel a lot of energy going around. May your rituals go well, and have the effects you want. Don’t forget to light a candle to the deads; or to leave a plate with some food. I’m doing some cookies with cinnamon and clove + mulled wine. Then, leave them on the grave of my ancestors, with some talk. (They like to be talked to) Maybe do some tarot reading and a ritual to Hekate ! <3

Every day you’ve dealt with your terrible stepmother and your equally terrible and ugly stepsisters as you’ve done your chores. One day, an invitation to the prince’s ball comes to your late father’s estate. After your late mother’s dress is destroyed, you find an elderly woman in front of you. She waves her wand through the air and suddenly a blue ball gown with glass slippers appear on the bench next to you. She claims you can go to the ball for only a small price. You have to kill the prince.

When ants die, a few days later they emit oleic acid, which tells the living ants to dispose of their corpse.

A myrmecologist named Ed Wilson discovered this and dropped the chemical on a living ant. It was immediately carried off, despite the fact that it was still moving, and clearly not dead.

A Guide to Keeping your Heart Soft

Love Big.

Compliment often.

Expose the Greatness in everyone you meet.

Hold no unsaid expectations against anyone.

Forgive easily.

Tell the kid how cool their toy/picture/story/rock is-and watch the light flood their eyes.

If you hold anger against someone/if they said something that hurt you, talk about it in a healthy way.

When it comes to unsolicited wisdom, the very least you can do is listen and think about it, you don’t have to agree, but give yourself the option to learn and grow.

Purge bitterness from your bones, it makes you older faster and clogs your joints.

SMELL ALL THE CANDLES IN THE STORE; cake-scented candles never ruined anyone’s day.

Tell yourself one thing you love about yourself every day, to start, and more will follow: Toes, I love that you balance me; calves, I love that you’re strong; thighs, I love your power, etc.

Laughter is a healing balm.

Do not lie to yourself, acknowledge the power of you.

If you suffer, all you have to do is survive; AND THEN give yourself permission to thrive.

Do not be afraid to be extraordinary; in your craft, in your hugs, in your words.

I wish you the best of luck.

Samhain Ideas

🥀 Write letters to your ancestors. Seal them in envelopes with dried flowers or other small offerings, and burn them.

🥀 In lieu of flowers, delicately cut apple slices, orange peels, or other fruits in floral shapes and leave a bowl of them as an offering.

🥀 Read some books/watch some movies that are popular in your family.

🥀 Write little poems or letters to the Fae, roll them up and put them inside cinnamon sticks with a blob of honey or some milk, then leave them in the woods.

🥀 (Gently!) Put googly eyes and tiny paper hats on your plants to make modern Jack o’ lanterns.

🥀 Wear things from people in your life, family jewelry, clothes that a family member has purchased for you, 

🥀 If you can visit the grave of a loved one or someone in your family. Talk to them for a bit.

🥀 Charge candles with crystals Lapis Lazuli, Rhodonite, Citrine, or hematite to burn at your altar.

🥀 Write a list to your deities of the things you are proud of having accomplished together. Bury it with an offering.

I found this photo in r/witchcraft, and the poster said they found it in a “social media pagan group.” I wanted to share here for Tumblr witches who want to try and help the Amazon rainforest.

For those who haven’t heard, the Amazon rainforest is on fire. Brazil’s Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE) detects and keeps track of the fires and has stated that there has been an 83% increase since last year. It’s the highest number of fires since record keeping began in 2013. As of Wednesday August 21, 74,155 fires have been detected in Brazil.

This is very important! Brazil’s rainforests produce 20% of the world’s oxygen. They are the lungs of this earth. With the ongoing climate crisis, they are under attack. There has been an increase in deforestation lately under President Jair Bolsonaro, as he has rolled back a lot of environmental protections. The forests and the three million plants and animals that live there are in danger.

And we cannot forget the people who call the rainforests home. One million indigenous people from up to 500 tribes are at risk from these thousands of forest fires. Lives are at stake, as the skies turn black and the smoke plumes are visible from space.

In addition to magic, please consider signing the many petitions circulating as well as donating to groups like Rainforest Action Network to help directly protect the forests!

Here’s an article about the fires
