I Couldn’t Just Stop With The “common” Variety Of Mooshroom, So I Doodled The Brown Variant As

Tarot Cards that are Marvelous When Reversed

Reversed cards like to rain on your parade, delaying what is hoped for and dampening what is great. But not all of them are villainous. These ones are especially auspicious.

The Devil

The ropes around you are loosening. Your liberation is coming.

Five of Cups

Pain has been dealt. Grief has been felt. Sorrow can now begin to melt.

The Moon

What is hidden will come to light. All will once again be clear and bright.

Five of Wands

Conflicts are almost over. Furious minds and hateful hearts will soon feel sober.

The Hanged Man

What is delayed is now in position. Action will soon succeed stagnation.

Four of Cups

A farewell to dullness and apathy. You will soon have a reason to be very happy.

Three of Swords

Forgiveness will be given or received. Your agony will hence be relieved.

The Tower

You survived or avoided a disaster. What awaits now are greener pastures.

Ten of Swords

The worst of it is over. From this moment, it all starts to get better.

Nine of Swords

There are no more reasons to worry. You can stop being scared and weary.

Five of Pentacles

All that you lost and all that you lack are now, at last, on their way back.

Knight of Swords

Sympathy and gentleness will banish cruelty and recklessness.

Eight of Swords

Remove now your blindfold. What was once copper has been turned into gold.

Ten of Wands

The heaviness will lift. You will put down your burdens and set them adrift.

Five of Swords

You are moving on from defeat. Enough of the bitter, and more of the sweet.

The afternoon began with wild collecting for my besom.

After soaking the bristles to make it easier to tie them in a bundle, it was time to assemble them.

Plastic ties made the job relatively easy. I then wound wire in between the gaps beside the ties, tucking the ends of the wire into the bundle. Then I cut the ties carefully away so as not to cut the bristles. Finally, I wet some twine and tied that around the bundle, evenly spaced. I found a branch already cut and whittled at the ends in the woods by the river, it was as if someone had played around and fashioned a sort of spear with it and then just left it there!  It made for the perfect handle for my besom. Jammed that handle in the middle of the bundle hard, and that sucker isn’t going anywhere!

I put blue ribbon over the wire to make it look pretty (I think my Goddess likes blue, as it comes up a lot in different things lately) also, dammit, if I am going to own a besom, it is going to look pretty because I deserve it! Cost of my besom? $4.00 for plastic ties and ribbon from the dollar store, that’s it! And of course, the time that it took to gather the bundle from the wild, and search for a handle, all in all it took roughly 2 hours. Not too shabby, if I say so myself. 

Now I just have to cleanse the besom (with some sandalwood incense) and ask the God and Goddess to bless it. 

I feel it’s relevant for Wiccans and Witches to know you CAN make your own broom at home with just a few things collected from nature. No, you don’t have to be very good at putting craft projects together, and this honestly was very easy to assemble.

It really bothers me when I hear of others involved in the craft who have literally spent a couple hundred bucks easy on a besom/broom they bought online. Unless you WANT to spend that money because it saves time, etc., fine. But otherwise, I feel you are being taken advantage of because no one has told you the steps to make your own.

You will need:

Twigs, straw, whatever for the bristles

Long plastic ties

A small hand saw, or as in my case I used a bread knife to cut the grassy-like straw

Craft wire

Scissors or garden clippers to cut straw/twigs

Branch for the handle

Blade to whittle point in the branch

Twine

Ribbon

If you have ANY questions, please message me. It must be mentioned, this was the first broom I’ve ever put together, so if I can do it, you can too.

~Blessed be.

~☀︎︎Tarot Readings☀︎︎~

Hi friends, due to personal reasons I’m opening up “emergency” tarot readings. Due to family drama with my partners family, we are trying to move as urgently as possible, but I am also needing to save up for a car since mine had an engine failure.

🦋10, 13, & 30 for the soft asks🦋

10. What is something (or someone) you’re in love with?

🌙 (it’s about to get cheesy) I’m in love with the way my cat lays on my chest and pushes his head into my hand. I’m in love with the way fall smells and the way leaves crunch underneath my feet. The way a sweater feels against my skin, how a cup of warm tea feels between my hands. I’m in love with my fiancé and how we don’t just act like lovers but best friends as well.

13. What’s your ideal summer aesthetic?

🌙I’ve never been a huge fan of summer and I’m terrible at describing or choosing aesthetics but, I’m in love with early summer mornings when it’s chilly enough for a hoodie and the morning dew covers the grass. Sipping my cup of coffee with my feet in the pool as my dog curls up next to me. I miss summers at my parents’ house.

30. What do you do to feel at peace?

🌙Paint, draw, something creative. Something about getting lost in my art with music blaring through my headphones makes me feel so at peace. Being outside in the morning with coffee or tea, just taking in nature also gives me so much peace. Nature walks, reading, writing, ah there’s so much. Just stepping away from social media and the world, just taking in what’s around me is so nice.

Thank you for the asks!! ❤️

🔮 Witchy Habits to Make 2021 a Magical Year 🔮

3 Daily Habits

🧘 Meditate and stretch every day, when you wake up or before going to bed, to recenter yourself and look inwards. 

📖 Keep a journal, grimoire or book of shadows and write as often as possible, to remember your thoughts and log your progress. 

✨ Find something to be grateful for every day, whether it’s a big event or simply watching a bird landing on a tree outside of your window.

3 Weekly Habits

🃏 Make a past/present/future Tarot spread on Sundays to reflect on the week that has passed, your current feelings and the week ahead. 

🌲 Spend time around nature or observing the sky, at least once a week, to stay connected to the Earth and the Moon. 

🍞 Practice Kitchen Magic by making at least one special meal per week, where you pour positive energies and magical intentions. I try to learn a completely new recipe once a week to keep it fun and interesting.

–

3 Monthly Habits

📝 Make a list of your goals on the first of each month, and keep it close to your desk to stay on track every day. 

🌙 Follow the moon phases to connect to the Moon’s magic and power. Work hard, start projects and be productive when the Moon is waxing ; rest, recover and reflect when the Moon is waning. 

📚 Learn something new about witchcraft, spirituality, or a completely different topic that interests you. Staying curious, even when life gets busy and complicated, is what makes it worth living.

3 Yearly Habits 

🧹 Fully cleanse your home after each witches sabbats to get a fresh start and throw out old energies. 

🕯️ Switch up and clean your altar at the end of each season, to keep it alive and filled with magical power. Decorate according to the coming season and sabbat. 

🌱 Adapt your behavior to the rhythm of nature: spring and summer are high-energy, starting big projects and spending time outside, while fall and winter are about rest, reflection and spending time indoors.
