I’ve picked up my Grimoire again and begun developing my Tarot section, (which is going to be huge and very time consuming but I am SO excited!)

Please feel free to use these pages as a guide in your own practices or as inspiration for your own BOS or Grimoire :) All I ask is that if you wish to recreate my design or wording, please credit in the description of your post!! Thank you

✨Pages in my Grimoire on Tarot ✨

These pages begin my Tarot study on the symbols associated with the Major Arcana, the 4 Suites and associated zodiacs/meanings, the court cards and what they represent in meanings, numerology and their associated majors, and lastly color symbolism. this is basically all I need to do intuitive readings with the tarot!!

The next chunk of this will be meanings for each of the major arcana, based off of my own practices and what i’ve learned about their symbols.

✨Face Reveal✨

Hi Guys!!!

I wanted to thank ALL of you for 4,000 followers!! Given the pandemic at the moment, I have been a bit inactive but due to all of the extra free time I now have I am going to be focusing on my Tarot Journal and this blog much more often!!

I plan on doing some Tarot readings soon for you all with my new deck…stay tuned :)

3 Card reading with the #thismighthurt tarot!!

I think my deck is mad at me for spending money on a bunch of summer clothes this reading was directly after I placed an order for some bathing suits, rompers, and summer-wear because I decided to treat myself.


What I took from this is:

- I had just been talking about a change in my work scenario. being unemployed due to the virus has given me time to think about where I want to go since being let go from my job due to the crisis. I have been thinking about pursuing a branch in my job that made me happy… something I wasn’t stressed out doing! The three of pentacles assures me that I can build this collaboration, and positive environment for my work as a graphic designer.

- The 6 of pentacles reversed tells me that it is okay that I spend on myself sometimes, (which is rarely do) but it is important to distribute that spending in such a way that I am still balanced with my spending/saving.

- Temperance again supports both of these two supporting cards. (this is the second time i’ve pulled this card in a few days) Temperance tells me that I can have the best of both worlds. Exploring job options during this time is okay. spending on myself is okay. saving money is good!

✨everything must be in balance ✨

It was raining today, and it was spectacular ❤️the one thing about the Midwest that I like ✨⛈☔️

Let’s be honest here. Most of us bedridden peeps don’t have an awesome bed setup like this, and our nature exposure can be limited. However, here’s some tips and tricks to staying connected to nature while stuck in bed, with contributions from myself (@heatherwitch),@thewitchofthenorse,@spooniewitches,@persephoneandthepomegranates&@theepagangrace!

  • Open a window, or crack the curtains
  • Hang rainbow prisms in your window
  • Keep a houseplant nearby
  • If regular houseplants require too much energy: Try cacti, succulents, lucky bamboo, or spiderplants!
  • Hang nature/forest/plant artwork around
  • Get air freshener or room spray that reminds you of the outdoors
  • Watch a nature documentary or shows with people exploring nature – check out nature (photography) videos on Netflix for calming videos
  • Listen to forest soundscapes [X
  • Set a nature scene as your screensaver
  • Keep a jar of soil around
  • Talk with any nature deities you work with
  • Follow nature blogs
  • Get sheets, blankets, or pillowcases with leafy designs, flower designs, etc.
  • Get a star map app on your phone to be more connected to the night sky
  • Have a vase of flowers (real or fake)
  • Keep crystals around that remind you of nature (Moss agate, petrified wood, onyx, selenite, agate geodes, etc.)
  • Use sigils designed to connect you to nature
  • Use air conditioning or a fan to make it less stuffy in your room
  • Read and write poetry about nature
  • Press plants/flowers or hang dried herbs by your bed
  • Spend some time looking outside of your window
  • Burn a nature scented candle or incense (Irish moss, myrrh, frankincense, opium, and lavender)
  • Use astral travel or dream magic to get to outdoor areas
  • Watch livestream videos of outdoor areas
  • Make a sachet of grass, oak bark (or whatever tree you like), quartz, and salt. Hang it near your bed.

With help from others:

  • Get someone to collect rainwater for you, and use it to wash your face
  • Ask a friend to take some pictures of cool places they go in nature and send them to you
  • Have someone collect rocks/plants/feathers etc. from each day and bring them back for you 
  • Have someone pick wildflowers for you
  • Drink some herbal tea
  • Have someone you trust harvest wild edibles/berries for you – or at least bring fresh fruits and veggies!
  • Skype or video chat with someone while they’re outside
  • Take the scenic route/detour to some natural areas the next time you need a car ride

I’ve made forest-folk dresses!

Patterns are hand-drawn by me from nature and then printed on the natural fabric. Later I designed the dress and in the end of pretty long journey they came to life! So excited!

Dresses itself (in very limited quantity), more photos and all the details about them are available on my Etsy

The main inspiration for me here is the term anthropoecosystem (at least existing in my native language) which, saying simply, means dependence the culture of the specific Land features. How do local biodiversity influence the folk art, how the local nature is reflected in myths and how do the landscape creates narratives? These dresses from imaginary forest people, reclusive modern green witches and herbalists, they are filled with their dark fairytales and mushroom related myths.

Making clothes is so wonderful!

Dressed up as myself this year.


HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Official Witch Scout Uniform

To better unify our scouts, we have created an official clothing guide for all Witch Scouts. In order to serve our ever growing collective, we do not have specific brands for each article. Instead we encourage our scouts to complete their uniform in a way that meets their households needs. Finally, safety is our first goal and should always be put first when picking uniform items.

Head wear

All scouts will be given a witch’s hat at their troupe registration. It should be worn at day and night to avoid sunburns and moon burns.

NOTE: Coven Leaders, all hats have been previously enchanted. Students who arrive to troupe meetings without their hat should be immediately turned away. We aren’t really sure what they are yet, but we do know that they aren’t scouts.

Scouts with hair longer than shoulder length should have their hair tied back, on order to avoid the Great Potion Disaster of ‘46.

Torso

All scouts will wear long sleeve button downs in the color “gray.” You will be given a maroon scout sash at registration. Sashes should be worn over the right shoulder, under the left arm.

Legs

Scouts will wear either solid maroon or plaid maroon pants (their choice). We do hear complaints about pants in the hotter months. Those complaints disapear after students hike Thorn Mountain during the August scout retreat.

Socks should be black and crew length or longer. While we have long ago disproved the myth that, “if you can see their ankles they are a witch,” we fully support the fact that, “Potions splashed on ankles can cause terrible side effects.”

Shoes

Sturdy, closed-toed, and black. That’s all we have to say.

Sorry Dolls Kill,

As supreme coven mother of the Witch Scouts ™️ I’m going to have to tell you that this is not a scout approved uniform.

We prefer our scouts to wear sturdier clothes, better suited for adventuring than freezing.

Also, we do give out demerits to those who falsify which badges they have earned.

Thanks,

Scout Mother Oria

please picture me in the trees

i hit my peak at seven

feet in the swing over the creek

i was too scared to jump in

but i, i was high in the sky

Don’t be ashamed to weep; ‘tis right to grieve. Tears are only water, and flowers, trees, and fruit cannot grow without water” — Brian Jacques, Taggerung.

donnaoria:

As someone who suffers from mental health issues, I often need reassurance to help me push forward. This spell combines advice from my doctor on how to heal from past trauma or troubles, and fill yourself with love.

(side note: no spell or magick can replace a doctor. A doctor should be your very first step for any physical or non-physical healing. This spell is only an additional supplement and may not be right for everyone.) 

 Gather   

✨ Bottle

✨ White Candle (for peace)

✨ Paper & Pen

✨ Obsidian (to dispel negative energy)

✨ Citrine (for healing)

(side note: if you prefer not to use citrine because it is heat treated amethyst that is fine. Amethyst can be substituted in for it’s calming abilities)

✨ Salt (for protection)

✨ Basil (for love and protection)

✨ Parsley (for Love and Protection)

✨ Rosemary (for healing)

✨ Thyme (for healing)

✨ Turmeric (for purification)

 Process 

Begin by grabbing your pen, paper, and obsidian. Hold the obsidian in your hand as you think of a phrase of protection. Mine was, “I am safe, there is no pain here.”

With the obsidian in your hand write the phrase on the paper. Let the energy from your obsidian dispel any negative thought. When your finished roll it into a size that will fit into your bottle.

Prepare your other ingredients. Let each herb touch the citrine. Let them absorb citrine’s healing power.

Layer in your salt, basil, parsley, rosemary, thyme, and turmeric into the bottle. Somewhere halfway through place your rolled note into the bottle and let it be covered.

Close your bottle and light a white candle. Gently wave your bottle of the smoke for purification, then use the melted wax to seal your bottle.

 Moving Forward 

Keep the finished spell bottle somewhere you can easily and quickly find it. On it’s own in will fill whatever room or space it’s placed in with positive energy.

Whenever you feel extra anxious or upset grab the bottle and hold it in your hands. Repeat the phrase written inside the bottle, while breathing deeply. Let the phrase and the love from the bottle lift you up.

Repeat as often as needed.

This is beautiful, and so badly needed!

there are stars youhaven’t seenand loves you haven’t lovedthere’s light you haven’t feltand sunrises

there are stars you
haven’t seen
and loves you haven’t loved
there’s light you haven’t felt
and sunrises yet to dawn
there are dreams 
you haven’t dreamt
and days you haven’t lived
and nights you won’t forget
and flowers yet to grow
and there is more to you
that you have yet to 
know.
