Please Reblog This

Hello everyone and Happy New Year! It’s been a while since I last posted something, but something interesting happened to me for the last few days and I want some input about it. As you may know, I live on a large plot of land in my neighborhood and we tend to get a lot of animals crossing(heh) into my yard. A few days ago, we have been getting a lot of hawks, circling around in the back. I thought nothing of it at first, but the next day, there was a hawk on my bench. I didn’t notice it at first because I was getting a package until I looked over. It didn’t seem to be threatening or defensive, just curious and stared at me, even after I went back inside.

I’m hoping to get an answer to what this means

Fuck Fr*nce

7 Steps to Creating Your Higher Self Persona.

Whether you want to create a sugar baby persona, a more confident version of yourself, or are just bored and want to revamp your life, these are the essential steps to doing so. I would recommend being as detailed as I was in my “ideal high-value man” list.

“What’s meant for me, will come with ease”

🧿🤞🏽🔮🎓💸💕💍🤞🏽🌬🍃🌱🌿🌻✨🙌🏽🧿

If you’re currently manifesting, just know that the universe IS listening to your wishes.

This is a reminder that whatever is meant for you will arrive in due timing + if the universe believes it will aid you along the way. Don’t force anything, let the universe (anything synonymous to your beliefs) take the wheel .

Blessed be, bb 💕✨

STEP INTO YOUR POWER

1. stop humbling yourself - when people tell you to “humble yourself” they are basically telling you to shrink your power, your voice and your self expression. don't hold yourself back and suppress your desires. you are deserving of the best.

2. use your insecurities - everyone has insecurities, even successful people but instead of letting insecurities hinder them, they embrace their qualities and learn to improve upon them. your diffracting qualities is another way you shine amongst others and is your gift. use it!

3. stop caring what others say - never let people's words and judgements affect you. someone else’s opinion has nothing to do with you. matter of fact in 5 years time is there opinion really going to matter once you've reached your highest potential?

4. stay focused on creating the life you want - instead of being caught up in everyone else and the latest gossip, set goals towards your dreams and focus on you. keep your eyes on the prize and keep improving your life. maintain your health, looks and wellbeing. you are more than capable to achieving your goals, so persist and believe in yourself.

Okay, this is something that a love/glamour witch would have

Imbolc is upon us! Here’s a handy reference guide of witchy business to get up to.

For me, Imbolc is a great time to celebrate the warmer months coming soon and the return of the sun. Anything with solar or fiery correspondences works well for me around Imbolc, as well as anything having to do with keeping a happy home or inspiring creativity and the arts, since Brigid works with poets and artists often.

A few simple recipes for the summer solstice!

You can just follow the directions below or work with each ingredient carefully with magic intention to really boost the energies.

Give Me Money! Sun Tea

Ingredients

Sun tea for promoting financial wealth and abundance.

Mint ice cubes (optional, freeze whole mint leaves into ice)

1 part Mint

1 part Chamomile 

½ part Basil

Place your herbs in a jar and then steep in the sun. Add sweetener if desired and strain when you are ready to enjoy! Garnish with lemon.

Magic Psychic Sun Tea

Steep some dandelion and lemongrass for some psychic energy!

Ingredients:

1 part Lemongrass

1 part Dandelion flowers 

Pineapple juice

Follow the same basic steps for making a sun tea with lemongrass and dandelion flowers. Chill the tea and then add ½ part pineapple juice and garnish with pineapple.

Yummy Sunny Smoothie

Approx 5 lemon balm tea ice cubes ( if you can’t find this, sub basil)*

1.5 cups frozen Strawberry

2 cups watermelon 

1 frozen banana (more banana =thicker smoothie)

Sweetener, if desired, I personally used 3 small packs of stevia in the raw

*Lemon balm notes:If you have a super fancy blender that will totally blend the lemon balm then you can add a few leaves in with everything else. You could also make lemon balm tea and freeze them into ice cubes for your smoothie.

Add all ingredients to blender and sweeten to taste. Enjoy! You could probably make some yummy popsicles if you mix the smoothie with some coconut milk yogurt.

Red Fire Litha Sun Tea

Hibiscus flowers (check international markets to buy local)

Cherry juice

Orange slices 

Make sun tea with hibiscus. You will know its ready when you have a beautiful deep red color! You could just drink the hibiscus plain, or follow the next steps.

Chill the hibiscus tea

Add cherry juice! Use a 2:1 ratio of hibiscus tea to cherry juice, or 2 parts hibiscus to 1 part cherry. You don’t have to follow this ratio exactly! 

Garnish with orange slices

Safety considerations: The herbs in this post (basil, lemonbalm, lemongrass,dandelion, and chamomile are all pretty safe food-grade herbs when used in small, reasonable amounts. Hibiscus is generally safe as well, but avoid it if you are on HRT or pregnant, or with high or low blood pressure. As always consult with your doctor before consuming any herbal medicines.
