🍂 - People with Moon in the 6th house or Cancer in the 6th house can be affected by the seasons changing, for example feeling more excited in summer while getting more nostalgic in the autumn

🍁 - I can see already natives with Taurus Venus/Venus in the 4th house and Taurus in the 4th house already decorating their home based on the season that comes next, which is amazing because I love their will for wanting to do these things

🍂 - Autumn/Fall is the season where Gemini/Aries and Taurus Ascendants/Risings have good luck in love because their 7th house sign is an Autumn/Fall ruled sign (Sagittarius, Scorpio and Libra rule over autumn)

🍁 - I can aswell already see Libra and Leo placements going to shopping for autumn clothes or just more cozy clothes to wear in this season

🍂 - Aquarius Placements are the types of people who start to make photos of the season already, because they tend to be very photogenic they want to make photos

Comforting Chicken Stew for Lazy Days (Recipe)

Nothing makes me feel better on a chilly day than coming home to a pot of long-simmering stew. With the colder seasons coming up, I wanted to share with you babes a lovely chicken stew that I hope brings you comfort <3

Comforting Chicken Stew For Lazy Days (Recipe)

Ingredients:

4 and 1/2 cups chicken thighs (3 lbs) diced

Canola oil

3 TBSP butter

1 yellow onion finely chopped

1/3 cup flour

6 garlic cloves, finely minced

1 TBSP tomato paste

2 TSP thyme, fresh or dried

1/4 TSP sage, dried

4 cups chicken broth (I use reduced sodium)

2 TBSP cooking white wine (real wine is suitable, but use double the listed amount)

1 cup red potatoes, chopped into 1/2” pieces (not too small or they get too mushy)

1 cup Yukon gold potatoes, chopped 1/2" pieces

3 large carrots peeled and sliced

2 bay leaves

1 cup peas, frozen

1/2 cup heavy cream (to make the stew lighter, sub more chicken broth, half and half or just milk instead)

1 TBSP parsley, fresh and minced

Instructions:

Pat the chicken dry so that cooking brings out more caramelization and color, then season with salt and pepper to your liking

Heat a large skillet over medium high heat and add a drizzle of oil. Cook the chicken in batches, about 5 - 6 minutes, flipping occasionally until golden and cooked through

Heat the butter in the skillet and add the onions, cooking until softened and stirring occasionally (~6 - 8 minutes).

Add the flour and garlic, stir for 20 seconds and then add the tomato paste, thyme and sage, cooking until fragrant (~1 minute)

Slowly whisk in half of the chicken broth and the cooking wine, scraping up any bits from the chicken

Add the potatoes and carrots along with the remaining broth and cooking wine. Simmer with the lid on over medium-low heat for 10 minutes

Add all ingredients except the peas and cream into the slow cooker and cover. Cook for 4-5 hours

Discard the bay leaves, then stir in the peas and cream. Add the lid and cook for 5 more minutes

Serve with fresh parsley, and salt and pepper to taste

This stew is also good to be frozen for later. Make sure you let it cool completely, then put it in and air tight container or heavy duty freezer bag.

Witchcraft and Self-Care: Nurturing Your Mind, Body, and Spirit

Witchcraft is not just a craft; it's a path that intertwines with our daily lives. Amid the spells and rituals, it's vital to remember that self-care is a cornerstone of our practice. By nurturing our minds, bodies, and spirits, we empower ourselves to be more effective witches and resilient individuals.

In this blog post, we'll delve into "Witchcraft and Self-Care: Nurturing Your Mind, Body, and Spirit," exploring the importance of self-care and suggesting rituals and practices to help you flourish on your magical journey.

🌟✨

1. Grounding and Centering 🌳🌌

Start your self-care journey with grounding and centering. Take a moment each day to connect with the Earth. Stand barefoot on the ground, feeling the energy of the Earth rise through you. Meditate, visualize roots extending from your body into the soil, anchoring you to the Earth's nurturing energy.

2. Daily Affirmations 🧘‍♀️🌟

Affirmations are powerful tools for nurturing a positive mindset. Each morning, recite affirmations that align with your intentions. These affirmations reinforce your sense of self-worth, strength, and resilience. For example, "I am powerful," "I am loved," or "I am in control of my destiny."

3. Bath Rituals 🛁🌸

A soothing bath can work wonders for your well-being. Infuse your bathwater with Epsom salt, lavender, or rose petals. As you soak, visualize any stress or negativity melting away, leaving you refreshed and renewed. This simple practice can be profoundly healing.

4. Moon Meditation 🌕🧘‍♂️

Harness the energy of the moon to nurture your spirit. During the Full Moon, find a quiet space outdoors, and meditate beneath its radiant glow. Visualize the moon's energy filling you with light, cleansing away any emotional burdens, and empowering you for the month ahead.

5. Herbal Tea Ritual ☕🌿

Create a mindful tea ritual using your favorite herbs. As you brew and sip your tea, focus on the sensations and flavors. Allow the warmth of the tea to envelop you, bringing comfort and serenity. This practice can also enhance your connection with herbal magic.

6. Journaling 📓🖋️

Keep a magical journal to record your thoughts, experiences, and spellwork. Journaling is not only cathartic but also a powerful way to track your progress, uncover patterns, and celebrate your successes. Use it as a tool for self-reflection and growth.

7. Self-Compassion 💖🌈

Practice self-compassion in your daily life. Be gentle with yourself, just as you would with a close friend. Understand that setbacks are part of growth, and mistakes are opportunities to learn. By nurturing self-compassion, you'll foster resilience and inner strength.

🌟✨

As witches, our practice is a reflection of our inner and outer worlds. By prioritizing self-care, we infuse our craft with authenticity and power. Remember that you are the most important tool in your magical toolkit, and by nurturing your mind, body, and spirit, you become a beacon of light in the world.

So, let's embrace self-care as an essential aspect of witchcraft. By nurturing ourselves, we empower our magic and cultivate a deeper connection with the universe.

🌿🌟✨

i personally use the default notes app on my phone as my grimoire. for me, it's easier to format, organize, and edit info. i don't have to worry about making it super pretty and neat. and if i want to decorate it, i can just use emojis that fit the topic!

Friendly reminder that you can accommodate things to make witchcraft easier. The only realm where it would be difficult to do so is high end ritualism, but for my pals with ADHD I don't recommend that route because the intense planning makes my executive dysfunction kick into overdrive. There's a reason Hundreds of cultures around the world have different practices requiring different effort across hundreds of years - What may work for one society may not or will not work for another, and that same practice applies to witchcraft on an individual level. With that, I want to share the biggest thing that's helped my brain:

I keep my grimoire digitally. I cannot tell you how many journals dedicated to the Occult I've kept over 10+ years and I have never completely finished one. I get too in my own head about how it should look, how I should format the pages, if I want to be more artistic or more plain in my pages, and I get so overwhelmed with choices and the fear that I'm somehow keeping it "wrong" that the journal ends up sitting on my shelf. Digitally, I use Evernote and keep my grimoire as a separate Notebook. My spells and tinctures/balms are kept as recipe cards, my notes are kept however I feel like doing them in that moment and I have the relief of knowing that if I want to change it, I don't have to start an entire new page or journal. I transcribed all of my journal pages over to the app and the sheer relief I've had in being able to have a more forgiving format of keeping my grimoire has made me feel so much more comfortable in my practice.

"Keeping a journal is more personal" so essays written in Word about deep rooted personal experiences aren't personal because they were written digitally? Of course not, that would be absurd. I comprehend that keeping a physical journal is supposed to hold more power and symbology for witchcraft, but you drain yourself of your power by repeatedly plunging yourself into stress over your Grimoire. Not to mention, if you're in the broom closet it's infinitely safer to go digital than to have a journal - Something that would have saved me a lot of grief as a budding teen witch had I not been convinced that I was less than others if I kept it on my phone or laptop.

With that being said, I don't think digital is better than physical journals or vice versa - I know what works for me may not for someone else and I don't judge that. I just know what's best for me and my brain and I've finally decided to listen to that instead of insisting to myself that it needs to be like everyone else despite no other part of my practice being held to the same standard in my mind. Do what's best for you, not what the internet is saying is the Only Way™ to do things.

lil sstro observations

(take it with a grant of salt)

capricorn risings/moons have a good bone structure and a nice smile

taurus rising tend too dress or like the dark , neutral tones of clothes since their descendant is scorpio!!

aries suns can be people pleasers or forgive and forget people sometimes

aquarius placements especially suns can be really ambiverted especially if you’re in their close friend group

if you have any earth placements or earth sign ruling the 5H cusp it could mean you’re very slow and critical when it comes too creativity and expressing yourself truly.

I feel like leo on 7H cusp can make someone attract a person with very low self esteem, insecurities or lack of creative ideas and expression plus someone who is unstable in romance.

having Scorpio 4H could mean being too overprotective of you’re home , children or just being mysterious of sharing it with others plus household/background could hold some dark and intense secrets.

most people ik who are funny have either gemini , virgo or sag placements

I personally feel like no sign is introverted or extroverted.

libra 12H could mean only depending on partnership’s and nice , aesthetically pleasing things as a way of escapism or avoiding feeling things.

aquarius/air risings are very changeable they are literally like octopus they adapt wherever🐙🌬️

earth/water placements love fall or foggy , rainy weather🌧️🍂

having aries 5H could mean you express you’r creativity through physical contact like martial arts , boxing or even wrestling anything that has that adrenaline rush.

libra risings gave very defined chins and well shaped eyes.

having strong or prominent sun/leo influence could indicate wanting too be known for everything you do no matter how small it is or even wanting people too recognize the random gestures you do.
