Like everyone else, I experience healthy skepticism relating my religious practice. There is one thing, however, that never ceases to impress me and it’s when personal observations (or even more complex UPG) end up being attested and proven through research. Nothing is more validating than reading an academic essay and recognizing something you have experienced firsthand as a worshipper.
It’s been 14 years since I sat in my college dorm room and typed up my very first sex toy review. My blog is now a teen, the same age I was when I fell in love with a girl for the first time. Should I be asking my blog about its sexuality? Honey, you know you can come to me with anything.
I could yammer on about how different everything was back in 2007, because BOY WAS IT, but there are more pressing matters here, such as getting free sex toys into your hands! I’ve gathered 50 prizes for this giveaway, and I can’t wait to bestow them upon you.
hello my lovelies! long time no post! x
here is my midsummer/summer solstice/litha/etc spread! i recommend for crystal use incorporating rose quartz, citrine, moonstone, carnelian, garnet, tigers eye, or amber into ur practices on this beautiful day. of course, any crystals u can get your hands on will be beneficial if thats what you choose to do, but a little bit of rose quartz did no one any harm ;)
for candles/incense, i keep my black candles for the later period of the year when im screaming around my house n pretending to not b terrified of LIFE :) right now, i bring in red (love n passion, baby!), oranges (bring in those new beginnings which are always appearing in front of u this time of yr!), and yellows (communication n GOOD HEALTH SO SAY GOODBYE TO UR ALLERGIES - jks, sadly). white is always good - really just the classic warm colours that can be used for either chakra channeling, meditation, spell work, etc. in the incense-sphere, lavender and chamomile are GREAT for this time of year. I also rec dragons blood for any sexy charms/spells/etc u might be doing.
i hope this has helped and that u enjoy using this spread! pls lmk (if u want) if u do use it omfg i LOVE hearing from u guys and learning what worked for u/what didn’t and the results u got!
happy midsummer/summer solstice/litha to all u magical folk out there - have a fab time of yrrrrr! x

Y’all this is seriously a game changer!!
As a college student, I’m super broke and haven’t wanted to buy sachets for spells, but I have a solution! Just use an envelope instead! You can get a whole box for like $3 (or you probs already have some) and they work just like a sachet: you put your herbs, pieces of paper, little crystals, etc. inside.
You can also decorate them with designs, colors, and sigils that correspond to the spell you’re doing! The one in this picture is a love spell I made for a friend! Art isn’t your thing? Just use stickers! Washi tape!
You can carry them around easily and discreetly too. You could even mail a spell to a friend! And add a layer of enchantment to bless your postal delivery person while they’re carrying the spell :)
✨✨
Addition: As the lovely @crystal-w0lf added to the comments, you can also bury them for offerings or protection spells!!!
Happy Winter Solstice! I’m excited to celebrate the longest night of the year and hope we can reflect on ourselves together. I’ve created a spell that enchants us with winter wonders and helps us calm down so we are able to look inside ourselves. I like to drink this tea before I go to bed. I hope you have a wonderful night!
Ingredients
1 cup or mug of water
1 candy cane
half a tbsp of chamomile
half tsp on vanilla
Directions
heat up the water until at your preferred temperature
stir in the vanilla counterclockwise and place the chamomile in to steep
let it sit for about four minutes and strain out
mix again with the candy cane, but this time stir clockwise and chant
“A tired sky closes its eyes to dream,
creating a wondrous dance with the stars.
Time is remembered through its color and gleam,
but when the sky opens and light begins again so do we.”
Make sure you imagine a blue color swirling around you like snow in the breeze. A white snow with a tint of blue and although it feels cold on your skin, it creates a warmth underneath.
Then let your mind wonder in the past memories that swim around your mind. Take in the good and the bad and come to a peace and reflection stance. Slowly blance your mind and body. And take your first sip.
I hope you all have a happy holiday!

Hello my greenies! I have here a recipe to celebrate Litha! I am recovering from the removal of all four of my wisdom teeth and am unable to feast accordingly. I hope everyone can celebrate and eat for me, so I have here a favorite chicken recipe that I have especially during Litha and many times during the summer.
I will put the corresponding meanings of all the ingredients for the recipe at the end of the post and hope everyone enjoys my recipe. I hope to be posting more soon!
***You can use these ingredients for a whole chicken, but the amount for the coating will need to be adjusted and so will the cooking time. There are many websites that can tell you how to prepare a whole chicken, if that is also what you are looking for.
Ingredients
3 or 4 chicken breasts (I use 3, but I think the recipe would work with four as well.)
1 tbsp of dried lavender
2 tbsp of dried thyme or 4 sprigs of fresh and pulled off the stem.
drizzle of olive oil or coconut oil
1 tbsp of garlic powder
1 and ½ tbsp of onion powder
3 tbsp of honey
1 whole lemon.
dash of salt and pepper
dash of oregano
Directions
If lavender is not crushed, crush until powdery. Then in a small bowl, mix lavender, thyme, garlic powder, and onion powder.
In a separate bowl, place the three chicken breasts and add the salt and pepper. Mix well and after drizzle the oil, honey, and fresh squeezed lemon juice. Mix thoroughly.
Place in the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly. Make sure all parts of the chicken are covered.
Cover the bowl and let the chicken sit for three hours in the refrigerator.
Once complete, stir the chicken in the bowl again and then place the chicken into a roasting pan and sprinkle oregano on the tops.
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the chicken in the oven and bake for 45 minutes, make sure you flip after 23 minutes. When done, take the chicken out and let it sit for about 5 minutes before you eat. While it sits begin the chant.
“With the heat of the day and kiss of the night, summer bring love and spirit to me. Let me feel the child-like dance. Let me embrace myself. I am my own fire.”
While speaking these words allow yourself to hold in the heat inside you. Let it move around through your system and on your skin. Rise that heat up into your neck and float around your head. Then have it come out of you, so now you only feel a slight glow. Have this warmth embrace your house and everything in it until that happiness is surrounding you.
Then enjoy your meal!
*I always find that this meal goes well with some honey garlic potatoes, thyme roasted carrots, Zucchini casserole, and fresh baked flaky biscuits.
If you decide to make this recipe please send me pictures! Although I can’t eat any solids at the moment, I would feel satisfied just by seeing everyone else enjoying their meals. I hope you enjoy this recipe and have a special Litha!

When I was a little girl, my grand mother use to rince my hair with a table spoon of pale cider vinegar diluted in a pitch of water. It made my hair so shiny and strong, I kept this tradition in my adulthood.
Now I have more knowledge in herbalism and witchcraft and I adapted the recipe to be even more effective.
This is a remedy to treat small ailments. Always consult with your GP before. This doesn’t replace any medication!
Ingredients:
1L raw organic apple cider vinegar.
½ cup dried chamomile.
½ cup dried lavender.
4 to 5 fresh rosemary sprigs (or ½ cup dried rosemary).
Equipment
1l Mason jar
Plastic lid for the mason jar (you can find some here https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=mason+jar+plastic+lid&crid=1JCPADG0E2V6O&sprefix=mason+jar+plastic%2Caps%2C157&ref=nb_sb_ss_organic-diversity_1_17
Muslin cloth to filter the vinegar
Herbalism
Apple cider vinegar for the hair: help remove buildup of hair products, help balance hair’s pH, clean the scalp, boost circulation, condition hair, soothe dry itchy scalp.
Chamomile: Soothes the scalp
Lavender: Increases circulation, promotes hair growth, calms inflammation, soothes scalp irritation
Rosemary: Increase scalp circulation, promotes hair growth, strengthen hairs, fights dandruff
Magical intent
Apple cider vinegar: Purification, protection
Chamomile: Purification
Lavender: Protection, purification
Rosemary: Protection, purification
Recipe:
Add all the dry ingredients in the mason jar
Fill up to the top with raw organic apple cider
Don’t use metal lid as it will be corroded by the vinegar!
Store in a dark cool cupboard for 6 to 8 weeks. You can be tempted to wait less, but the result will be a weaker vinegar.
Shake every couple of days
When ready, strain and compost the herbs.
The concentrated vinegar will store indefinitely but you’ll need to prepare the rinse before each wash.
Don’t use it more than twice a week.
Always label your jar with the date of creation and what’s inside!
Utilisation
Use a 500mL mason jar.
Add 2 table spoons of vinegar, fill up with water to the top.
Take your shower, wash your hair, then use the rince on your wet hair. Don’t rince your hair with water after!
Be careful to your eyes!
Rinse your shower after you’re done to remove any vinegar residue.
The rinse is really diluted, it doesn’t smell really strong. The smell will disappear when the hair will dry.
Also, it requires a long time of infusion so be mindful of the time frame when you are doing your next batch!

My Favorite Spell-Book
Divination:
To learn the present character of a person:
Take the stem of an apple between your fingers and begin to twist counter clockwise whilst reciting the alphabet. Keep the person of interest in mind. Then refer to the rhyme.
Example: The stem breaks at “A”. The person in mind is currently focusing all their attention on accomplishing a specific goal. This could mean everything aside from this goal has been placed on the backburner and other life aspects are suffering for it.
————————————————————
A was an Archer, who shot at a frog,
B was a Butcher, and had a great dog.

F was a Farmer, and followed the plough.
G was a Gamester, who had but ill-luck,

To cause confusion:
Simply use the name of that which you want to confuse.
————————————————————
Anna Elise, she jumped with surprise;
The surprise was so quick, it played her a trick;
The trick was so rare, she jumped in a chair;
The chair was so frail, she jumped in a pail;
The pail was so wet, she jumped in a net;
The net was so small, she jumped on the ball;
The ball was so round, she jumped on the ground;
And ever since then she’s been turning around.
————————————————————
To trap a spirit:
Recite “Anna Elise” whilst braiding rope and tying knots. Replace the lines after, “…she jumped in the net”, with:
————————————————————
“…and now I’ve tied the final knot, and in my net was Anna set.
Try all her might, it’s structure is sound,
And ever since then she’s been turning around.”
————————————————————
At the end of this last line, tie one end of the string to the other to create a circle.
To Overcome Adversity
Or to Strengthen a Wind or Storm:
————————————————————
Arthur O'Bower has broken his band
And he comes roaring up the land;
The King of Scots with all his power
Cannot stop Arthur of the Bower.
————————————————————
To Induce Spirit Flight with a “Fail Safe”:
————————————————————
How many miles to Babylon?
Three score miles and ten.
Can I get there by candle-light?
Yes, and back again.
If your heels are nimble and your toes are light,
You may get there by candle-light.
————————————————————
Use a small candle and when it burns out, you shall be pulled back to your body.
Hagriding with use of a Poppet:
————————————————————
Ride a cock-horse to Banbury Cross,
To buy little Johnny a galloping horse;
It trots behind and it ambles before,
And Johnny shall ride till he can ride no more.
————————————————————
To Replace What’s Been Lost:
————————————————————
Little Betty Blue,
Lost her holiday shoe.
What will poor Betty do?
Why, give her another,
To match the other,
And then she will walk in two.
