“Learn to give people up before they hurt you beyond repair. Even if they tell you they will change. Even if they tell you that they love you. Just remember, love isn’t meant to be permanently damaging. Love is meant to aid your healing.”
be wild, be unruly, bare your teeth to the world; be the terror and the abomination, be the blood on their hands, be the last exhale of a raging sun. ravage, devour, revel in the madness of the sleepless nights. burn, and bite, and grin like a feral god.
This spread is slightly longer but for good reason!! I made us all a self love spread because I know sometimes it is so easy to get caught up in wanting to be a certain way that we often forget we are actually wonderful JUST the way we are!
All my love,

That marvelous, underrated but liberating moment in life when you realize, for whatever reason, that you no longer have to be nice to certain people anymore. You can tell them exactly what you think and if they don’t like it—tough.
Be wary of people who call themselves oracles and people who say they have messages from the gods to give to the community.
If the gods wanted a specific worshiper to know something, the gods have many ways to let the worshiper know. Self-proclaimed oracles who disregard mythology and history and make up their own and treat the gods as though they are storybook characters would probably not be it.
Prayer is enough to ‘speak’ with the gods. Divination works just fine to communicate with them or to get answers. Listen to your own instinct and use discernment. Self-proclaimed oracles cannot speak about your relationship to the gods, they can only speak about their relationship and experiences, and I wouldn’t trust an oracle that tried to applied their relationship and experiences to others in the community. That is a recipe for disaster. If the gods want you to know something, THEY will let you know.
“I am the forest,
I am ancient.
I treasure the stag,
I treasure the deer.
I shelter you from storm,
I shelter you from snow.
I resist the frost,
I keep the source.
I nurse the earth,
I am always there.
I build your house,
I kindle your hearth.
Therefore, you people,
hold me dear.”
— Inscription found in a 17th century forester’s house in Lower Saxony, Germany (via inatt)
Don’t settle for nice, for pleasant, for familiar. Keep looking until you find something that really moves you, that resonates with your core. And I mean this for people, for interests, for hobbies, for your possessions, clothes, music, books, art. Everything. Curate every aspect of your life, as much as you can.
It’s in the things that deeply inspire us that we find ourselves. Surround yourself with truth, and you’ll have built yourself a heaven.
I’m made up of black coffee, untamed hair, and poorly suppressed anger.
