The feeling of safety is incredibly important for the Taurus person. Although they frequently express as composed, a worrisome maniac roars inside, causing them to question every safety net from finance to relationships. It is important for the Taurus to have a place of comfort to come home to, and this must be an extension of her self expression, a sanctuary of repose surrounded by her adornments. The Taurean can have a deep fear of poverty, being without employment, and lacking a steady income. It is difficult for one with Taurus emphasised in their chart to comprehend the nomadic wander of Sagittarius or the carelessness of cash with Gemini. It is inherent to the individuals inner balance for the securities of life to be engraved and maintained. Nerves and rage emerge when bills become overdue or work becomes sporadic.
Taurus people are hard workers. And they take to their life of leisure in the same enthusiastic fashion. Taurus is a hammock pinned between two daisies, blowing in the breeze, and because the Taurus has a notable visual creative mind they can create a sanctuary in their mind, and they can build a kingdom within. But this inner palace can shatter into a million pieces when the duties of the daily life are not being taken care of. It makes the Taurus sleepless when money is tight. It causes a lethargy when employment is unsteady. Maybe the individual constantly fears she will suddenly become unemployed or be unable to live at her residence. Most Taureans are difficult to move, and they often remain at the same place for long periods of time. It provides a great sense of inner peace to know there is a paradise the Taurus can wash away the static of the city in. Surrounded by her creature comforts, lying in bliss, listening to her favorite music or indulging in her favorite novel under a pink marshmallow blanket is like a meditation.
Some of the Taureans deepest fears are having no where to go or having nobody to come home to. Although the Taurus is an independent person, the presence of people in their lives provides a tremendous sense of certainty. And the Taurus person requires a lot more reassurance than they express. They secretly desire that the people they chose to be friends or partners are as deeply committed as them. Friendships falling apart, bouts of sickness that interrupt income, becoming homeless, these are the sort of fears an insomniac Taurus contemplates day after day. And there can be a kind of anxiety that is provoked by these worries and attachment to material. The defenses in the Taurus person can be very high, and this is typically related to their deep concerns about security. This can evaporate when she does things like sit outside her cottage and watch the wings of a butterfly unfold. At heart, she is a creator, and she loves seeing artwork come to life. She just wants a cocoon she can crawl into, a bed of silky caramel pillows she can melt into, a verse of her favorite song.
You’ve heard of hoodoo and “voodoo,” but what can you do? Everything you’ve ever wanted to know or ask about cultural appropriation and the various magic traditions, cultures, and religions that have their roots in Africa. I’ve featured a number of different posts that cover a range of topics and perspectives from various sources and bloggers. Updates and additions will be made over time!
So, what is cultural appropriation, and why does it matter?
Why Cat Yronwode & Lucky Mojo are extremely problematic [x][x]
Posted 4/14/2018, updates pending. If you have questions, please ask bloggers who are legitimate practitioners of African descent or Afro-Latine heritage if your question relates to an Afro-Latine tradition. If you have concerns or anything listed here is problematic in some way, feel free to contact Yejide the OP!
why limit yourself between choosing between a pretty feminine aesthetic or a dark one? if persephone can be the goddess of spring & queen of the underworld at the same time so can you
This is both against the gender roles that God put forth and in favor of the worship of pagan God’s. This is blatant satanic blasphemy

Reblog if you too are against the gender roles that God put forth and in favor of the worship of pagan Gods.
breathe. you’ve made it so far this year. you’ve gotten through so many things that you thought you wouldn’t, and you’ll continue to get though this, whatever it is. i know you can. i believe in you, and i’m so, so proud of you. i know it probably seems impossible, but it’s going to be ok. it’s going to be ok.
breathe in, breath out. and just keep breathing. we’re gonna get there.
a reminder from your science witch sister that it’s flu season, and haunting graveyards at midnight or walking barefoot in dark forests becomes much less romantic when you are ill, so go and take your vaccines and do your part to ensure herd immunity for the sick, the elderly and the young.

“Ibat ad antiquas Hecates Perseidos aras quas nemus umbrosum secretaque silva tegebat”.
The Queen of the Night gathered so many names during the millenia. Untamable, wild eyed, spinner of webs, star walker, torch bearer, mountain roamer. Her nature is so intricate and elusive that trying to depict it with a single image never seems to do her justice.
