I ordered some things from The Cottage Witch Co. The crystal pyramid, the triple moon and pentacle altar cloth & the athame. As cute extras they sent me a wax melt that smells divine, a tumbled labradorite crystal, a little sign and an agate bracelet. Feat TamLin inspecting my purchases
Happy Ostara, I’ve been very busy sorting out our shed today so didn’t have a lot of time to do many craft activities, but I did do a bit of gardening, went on a walk and had a hot cross bun hot choc
Me too. Which one? Take some educated guesses (All three. I’m all three. Don’t judge me-)
What to do with Moon Water when You Simply Can’t:
Brew coffee/tea
Make ice cubes out of it
Wash your hands/hair/face
Water your plants
Keep a pitcher of it and drink a cup every morning
Make moon water from sparkling water and infuse it with fruits that help you focus/love yourself/energize you/etc
Use it to paint
Rinse your makeup brushes with it after washing them
Put it in your pet’s water dishes
Make a cleansing room spray
Literally just do stuff. Replace normal water with moon water. Splash it on your face, throw some into your washer, or your bath. Just d o s t u f f. Witchcraft doesn’t have to be just Spell Jar, Tarot, Full Spell Casting. Nothing is stopping you from just dousing yourself in moon water to help you get reset.
Happy splashing and blessed be <3

It’s okay to forget to practice for days, weeks, even months at a time
It’s okay to experience burnout
Burnout usually happens when we set expectations for ourselves that are unrealistic or way too high up to achieve. You don’t need to practice daily, you don’t need to do a spell every phase of the moon…
You just need to focus on your health and happiness, magic will weave its way into your life, I promise.
When you are mentally and physically able to do more active magic, it will be there waiting for you. It’s not going anywhere.
