Someone who isn’t a witch: Why do you have like 5 different tarot decks? Don’t they all say the same thing?

Me: Well no, it depends on whether I want to be slapped in the face with my own stupidity or if I want my stupidity calmy handed to me with a pat on the back

hello, all~! 

I just wanted to share a few things you can do to help our little friends! bees are so important, and they need our love.

build a bee hotel 

you can use recycled materials you have on hand to create them. ( hollowed bamboo sticks, toilet paper rolls, planks of wood, etc. ) it’s also a good craft for the kiddos. get creative & have fun with it!~

hang your bee hotel on a tree, or a high up spot where nothing can disturb it.

make a watering station

it’s super duper easy to do, and all you need is a shallow dish and some pretty stones! bees get thirsty, and you’ll be helping them out. especially when it gets real hot out!

plant flowers and herbs

not only is gardening fun & therapeutic for you, but the bees appreciate it too. also, you can use the flowers & herbs grown for your craft! bonus!!

here are just a few of their favorite plants:                                         

• basil
  
• mint/catmint
• rosemary
  
• sage
  
• yarrow
  
• lavender
• sunflowers
• poppies
• asters
• zinnias
• salvias
• marigolds
• cosmos

…and there’s waaay more! garden to your heart’s content, and watch the magic happen~

don’t use pesticides or harmful chemicals on your lawn or garden

this one is pretty self explanatory. if you want a safe environment for your bee friends, try not to use any harsh chemicals on your plants. if you have issues with destructive bugs, use organic methods to shoo the pests away. 

here are a few organic alternatives to using pesticide!: 

• eggshells
  

• hot peppers

• tumeric
  

• banana and orange peels

✨sponsor a hive✨

last but not least, help out & sponsor a hive! this helps beekeepers, helps teach others about bees, and so much more!

thank you all for reading! let’s do our best to help these precious babies.

with love,

Animal communication spell

▶light a brown candle and envision the animal you wish to communicate with. Have the animal with you, if possible.

“The roamers of earth and explorers of skies, speak to me with foreign cries.

Though our toulnges sing sounds of different lands, I earnestly seek to understand.

Whether caw or bark, growl or roar, I wish to understand so much more.

Let me know what’s in your thoughts, to form a stronger mental bond.

Though our skins are different kinds, we are one inside our minds.

Hear me.

Know me.

We are connected.”

☽happy witching! ☾

I’ve recently discovered that I seem to have an affinity to the local birds. I’ve always been a very animal orientated person and animals are often drawn to me, but I’ve noticed recently that if I whistle in my garden, birds start singing and actually come quite close to me (yeah, I’m a real life Disney princess!)

Just wondering if anyone knows any spells or practices I can do to show appreciation to them and make a connection?
