Don’t forget that Beltane can also be a time to promote mental health and creative fertility. If you’re feeling blocked in your creative endeavors, find ways to refresh yourself and renew your motivations. Take some time for yourself. Unplug for a bit and get some fresh air, perform a grounding rite, visit a place that inspires you. Don’t worry about anyone else. Spring is a time for renewal and growth, so take advantage of that energy and above all else, be kind to yourself~
Okay do tarot decks always have snitty attitudes or does some witch out there own a deck that’s like unbearably meek and polite? This isn’t rhetorical.
One of my decks has anxiety! and im not joking about this! anytime someone else is around it completely ignores the question and gives me anxiety cards
Apparently bergamot is getting popular. I figure now’s a good time to address the issue.
Bergamot is a citrus fruit that smells amazing, so a lot of people like to make essential oils out of it and put it in candles and stuff.
However, this should NEVER go on your skin. It has the same effects as Giant Hogweed (& some other wild carrots like Queen Anne’s Lace) and will give you nasty rashes and chemically hyper-boosted sunburns by making skin highly reactive to sunlight.
Remember this?
I personally have had friends who were seriously hurt by putting bergamot essential oils on their skin. It sucks.
In case you don’t want to look it up yourself:
Don’t use or make bergamot soap. Don’t use or make bergamot lotion. Don’t use or make bergamot anything that goes on your skin.
Just don’t put bergamot on your skin.
Stay safe beautiful! ❤ And please signal boost this!
The bergamot in Earl Grey tea is the best thing in the world. Bergamot on your skin isn’t.
“All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a Thousand Enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed.” ― Richard Adams, Watership Down
If you’re like me, you want to learn everything and have all skills and try to pursue all things at once. I made this spread to help focus in on just one skill or trait to develop at a time. The idea is that when you have a baby plant, it requires more care and attention to survive and grows very quickly when it is well cared for. Once it’s fairly strong, then it’s time to let it grow at its own steady pace along with all the other things you’re working on and move on to the next until your garden of skills is happily and peacefully growing.
1. What skill/trait should you focus on? This is your seedling.
2. How should you approach this? Do I plant from seed? Do I take a cutting and propagate? Is there a class I can take? Should I make a schedule and work on this for ten minutes a day? Is it a more passive trait that I need to work on through metacognition all day?
3. What do you need to set yourself up for success? Plants need to be set up in the right conditions to thrive. They need to be placed where they get the right amount of sunlight and the right humidity. They need the right soil. What conditions do you need to set for yourself to thrive?
4. What is the outcome/what will this help you reach? I won’t call this the “end result” because your vine should keep growing and reach further and further. What does this skill/trait help you reach if you nurture it?
Witch itch; n: that feel when you have a serious need to go to the occult store and buy supplies for witchery that bothers incessantly you until you go
