2 Big Tricks In Life That They Don't Tell You About:
Be straight up whimsical. Find beauty in everything you see. Force yourself to see that beauty if you must. Just do it. Theres so many things in this world that can be found beautiful in so many different ways. Today I looked at my pen as I was noting something down and thought of it as beautiful because I have been using it for such a long time. I also made art I didnt really like but I submitted it anyway and the receiver found it so beautiful that it helped me see it as beautiful too. Everything can be beautiful and lovable if you open your eyes wide enough
Get strange. Be weird. Let small things become part of your soul. Talk about everyday things as if they were extraordinary. Indulge. Indulge a lot. In everything that makes your soul shine bright. Have some strange beliefs. Be happy , even if you might be feeling completely neutral / numb (<- A "fake it til you make it" kind of thing - though its good to keep in mind that it doesnt work for everyone all the time. Do what you think is best for you). Make things that appeal purely to you. Prioritize yourself and your own heart , soul and mind. Embarrassment / cringe is temporary and a speck of dust compared to this whole life ahead of us. Authenticity is the precedence. Be the strangest & cringest version of yourself
HAVE FUN WITH MANIFESTINGG. literally its so fun, effortless. like literally you’re getting everything u want isnt that so fun? just have fun with it, imagine cute scenarios, dance that its already here, sing, affirm!! like. live life whilst manifest and enjoy every moment of it..ENJOY THE PROCESS!

🥚🥚Uncle Alabaster's Guide to Eggs and Cottage Magic 🥚🥚
Keeping eggshells may sound gross or a waste of space, but believe me when I say they can be useful to a hearth or cottage witch, and even to a green witch!
COOKING - As you might expect eggs are used in plenty of dishes when it comes to cooking. From dinner to dessert, Meatloaf to Cake, and even cooking them as a stand alone item! In cooking magic, and most magics revolving around the use of eggs and their shells ; eggs correspond with fertility, protection, spirituality, and strength.
EGGSHELL POWDER - Powder made of eggshell is just as good as, if not better than, salt for protective circles. This sentiment doubles especially outside. YOU SHOULD NEVER PUT SALT IN THE EARTH. You can make egg powder by washing the eggs and letting them dry, before grinding the shell to literal dust. You want to make sure to wash it thoroughly so any yolk or white is gone. Otherwise you'll find yourself in a smelly situation.
EGGSHELL POWDER 2 : ELECTRIC BOOGALOO - Not only does this powder make a great replacement for salts, but it can be used to fertilize your houseplants, and even your outside plants. Though when using eggshells for outside you may consider NOT washing them, as that will give the plant an extra boost.
EGGSHELL PLANTERS - And last on the list is a nifty DIY flower pot. When starting herbs you can plant them inside of your old eggshells. As the plan grows you may consider planting the shell itself into a larger pot, but when first starting out this serves as a good nursery for germinating seeds.
Hopefully this gives you ideas on how you can do more with your eggshells than toss them!

Healing is a constant state. You don't have to be "fully healed" to give or receive love, to chase after that dream, or to get yourself to that next level.
“no matter how badly you think you’re doing it, someone else has done it a lot worse and been fine” is applicable to a wide, wide range of things and i say it to myself all the time

Here are a few of the spells/rituals I use for cleansing, household harmony, etc! :)
Cleansing Simmer Pot/Floor Wash:
- Rosemary, to clear out and ward off negative or stale energy.
- Garden sage (if you need a particularly strong cleansing. Sage does clear all energies, not just negative, so be aware)
- Mint, to purify and rejuvenate the space.
- Rainwater to wash away old energy.
- Some butterfly pea blossoms if you’re wanting to really transform the energy of the house, since transformation is a strong property of butterfly pea.
- I sometimes add a bit of vanilla to add peace and calm to the house as it is cleansed.
Put all of the above ingredients either into a tea strainer/coffee filter, or just straight into a pot of water, depending on how you intend to use it. If you just intent to make a simmer pot, you can just put the herbs in as they are, but if you intend to add them to water to mop, or intend to use it to wipe down surfaces, I recommend putting them in something to strain them so loose herbs don’t end up on your surfaces.
Cleansing Powder to Absorb Negative Energy:
- Salt, to clear and absorb negative energy
- Black pepper, also to cleanse/banish negativity.
- garden sage, if you want to add extra punch
- Baking soda, to absorb negativity. (I don’t have any real source for baking soda being used for that besides it’s physical properties of being useful for absorbing spills and cat puke, so I figure magickally it could work similarly).
Mix these ingredients in a bowl, and sprinkle over an area you intend to sweep or vacuum with the intention that it will absorb any of the negativity lingering in the space. Then sweep or vacuum the space, and throw out the powder and with it, the negativity.
Household Harmony Simmer Pot/Floor Wash:
- Vanilla, for peace and happiness.
- Cinnamon, for communication and harmony.
- Apple peel, for prosperity in the home.
- Coffee, to remove obstacles to family harmony, and for communication.
- Rosemary, to protect the home from negativity.
- Lavender, for peace and harmony.
- Blackberry, for improved communication
Same as with the cleansing spell, this can be made into a simmer pot or sometime to wash surfaces with. If you use it to wash surfaces, I recommend you water it down quite a bit with some water and vinegar, or remove the blackberries so that the fruit doesn’t make the floor sticky or attract bugs.
