shitty witch tip #143

To calm yourself inside and out, eat lavendar. Chomp it right off the plant. Go feral. Eat the leaf.

Witchy Aesthetics

green witch: freshly pressed flowers, walking through a field of wildflowers, talking to the trees, terrariums, plants sitting on the windowsill, forest sounds

kitchen witch: cookbooks, stirring tea with intent, lots and lots of jars, herbs and more herbs, the smells of baking, tea blends swirling in jars 

storm witch: lightning crackling, calling up a storm, dancing in the rain, getting excited when you feel a storm coming, checking the weather activity

dream witch: sleepy eyes, soft blankets, meditating in the mornings to remember your dreams, reality checks, sleeping with crystals under your pillow

glamour witch: sigils on the mirror, rose quartz in random places, makeup bags, looking fly, youtube channels on makeup, on-the-spot glamours

closeted witch: hiding grimoires in drawers, sigils for invisibility, waiting for everyone else to go out, performing spells behind locked doors at night

art witches: moon water in your paint cup, paint-stained fingers, charmed drawing tablet, colour corresponding your art supplies, local bookshops

Better Fortune Tea Spell

You will need:

• All Natural Ginseng Tea or Herbal Mixture

• One teaspoon of Ground Ginger

• One half a teaspoon of Ground Cinnamon

• One eighth a teaspoon of Ground Nutmeg ( or one fourth depends on the person and amount of luck needed)

• Two teaspoons of sugar (or however many you want, I personally think Two is best)

• One half to One teaspoon of Honey/Agave nectar ( Optional.)

• One Lemon slice or a fourth a teaspoon of Lemon Juice

• Strong Belief and Faith

Preparing:

Begin by making your Ginseng Herbal Mixture . Then, begin adding your herbs, I find that while adding my herbs it helps to voice what they are and what i'm using them for. Add your teaspoon of Ginger for strength and energy. Stir well until fully incorporated. Proceed to add your eighth a teaspoon of nutmeg for luck, followed by your cinnamon for love and luck as well as strength and success. Stir until both herbs are well incorporated. Next add your sugar for love and flavour (mostly flavour). Stir until completely dissolved before adding (if you chose) Honey/Agave nectar can also be used for love (but mostly flavour). Finally, add in the Lemon Juice to reduce negativity (because no one needs that in their life), and to cleanse. Once you have mixed that in take a moment to pray to your deity (optional). Truly believe that your luck and fortune will change for the better and begin drinking.

Don’t know if you’ve gotten this question before but what Mars signs do you think are the most sensual ?

Hey cutie,

I love your question:) I honestly think every Mars signs have their own charms! While I'm bias in my own ways as I do have my favourites, I have to admit that all of the signs have different kinds of magnetism to them

Let's go through it shall we? 💞🥳

—ᴍᴀʀꜱ ꜱɪɢɴꜱ & ꜱᴇɴꜱᴜᴀʟɪᴛʏ

Aries Mars: They're sensual in terms of how far they're willing to go to get what they want. Very passionate people in general and can be very loyal once you earn their trust, if not they'll just be nice to you but never go to great length to please you. Most Aries Mars I've met all have exceptional people skill and naturally overachiever energy haha, they're extremely good with handling their emotions and interestingly most of them don't get mad that often, but once they do its simply too hot to handle. Sensual with their partner and can be come a schoolgirl around them and very giggly.

Taurus Mars: They define the word devotion. Laidback and seemingly very gentle people or very "motherly" in some way. Cares a lot about how they come off and they actually get angry easier than Aries Mars! But their anger die down slower. Once they're invested in someone or something they look at them with starry eyes and can't keep touching them by accident. They live for intense body language and their energy is usually so precious. Very homey people once settle down, more realistic than they look and are very reliant people.

Gemini Mars: Interesting people. Sensual in the sense that they really know what to say and when to say it. Very careful with saying what they think out loud. More considerate and introverted than how they're portray in the mainstream. Likes to read people a lot and can be amazing at it. Understanding their thoughts process is like learning an art for their partners. Beautiful minds.

Cancer Mars: Protective and subtly demanding people. Usually very in tuned with their emotions and may not like the feeling of being angry to others that often. Charm people by showing their softer and nurturing side. Sensual in the sense that they love listening to people and are very seriously with eye-contact or hidden tells. Territorial and can seem very defensive but they usually go with their gut feelings a lot of the time. Instinctive individuals. Partners should be expecting to be pampered and spoiled.

Leo Mars: Amazing eyes for the art. A true artist within. Sensual in the sense that they have the ability to defend themselves and their loved ones when they're fully bloomed. Confident kind of sensuality. Yet its not as flashy as described most of the time. Leo Mars usually have this silent yet apparent self-awareness energy. They're extremely resilient and are very passionate with things they consider theirs and they love to hype people they love up. Once a Leo Mars reach that stage of confidence, they often are extremely laidback and always seem that they're having a good time. No bad vibes here.

Virgo Mars: Virgo Mars individuals are hella intimate and bright. They do everything with so much dedication and hidden meaning in ways that normal brains can't normally contemplate tbh. Sensual in the way that they always seek to please you and have this larger than life energy that makes other very intrigue. They have a good grasp of reality but are also lowkey dreamers:) Very physical people. Usually look innocence and relaxed but are lowkey freaks, the element of surprise is never missing.

Libra Mars: Also have a sense of being very relaxed much similar to Virgo Mars but for them its also a tiny hint of fairy tale romance. Big hearts but also fragile ones. Braver than they look and softer than they seem. Wants to be loved and will give love back as they find their one true partner. Sensual in terms of they seek to please themselves and others and find pleasure everywhere they go. Comfort is essential. With them you will never feel uneasy and know how to make you feel welcomed. Addictive presences.

Scorpio Mars: Magnetic charm. Everything they do radiate ethereal energy and seems so casual but also very calculated. Their beauty lies in the way behind their eyes it seems like there are thousands of things go unsaid. Sensual in terms of how they feel the need to shelter and protect you. Also very territorial but they expect you to understand this nature too. Humorous and a lot of humility.

Sagittarius Mars: Excitement. Their charm lies in the way they have a forever young manners to them thats so refreshing and unique. Very bright minds but may come off as less bothered than they really are. Knows how to cheer people up in ways others don't fully understand. Spectacular jokester but can be very lonely deep down. Their own sensuality is the fact that they can be real loners in disguise. Their go-getter personality fool people from thinking how they actually are very deep and emotional individuals.

Capricorn Mars: They live another day with their sets of morals and values that they hold close to heart. Their beauty is their consistency and dare to dream big. They put down the foundation for anything and everything. Perfect blend of domineering and understanding. Usually very grounded, they like to fell secured and will reciprocate any energy coming at them. Their sensuality is the kindness and the thoughts they put into everyone and everything. Honourable people.

Aquarius Mars: Their ability to stay objective no matter what is admirable. Hearts usually yearn for humanity and are true empaths deep down. They experience sensuality in an intellectual level where the softer sides of them make perfect sense with the logical, rational self within. A lot of self-acknowledgement but also major esteem. They are insanely confidence when properly enabled and are not afraid to go against the norms. A wild card to others as they never fail to surprise.

Pisces Mars: They're not at all predictable individuals. Their minds are maddening and theres always a charm in any mad rebel. Surrounded by people but will always stand out by their unique energy. Extremely compassionate and yielding towards those they care for, they are never going to give up on something despite seeing a small spark of hope. Hard to pin down but their sensuality lies in the way they can love one's unconditionally.

Here are some thoughts of mine on the Mars signs and sensuality💕 I hope this helps you in one way or another beautiful!

love,

This post is not even close to complete but I intend to continue expanding it as often as possible

The Cat Returns (2002)

“When disgust or revulsion is confronted and overcome, what was at first disgusting can become delicious.”

—

Carolyn Korsmeyer, ‘Delightful, Delicious, Disgusting’, The Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism, vol. 60, no. 3 (2002)

She’s specifically referring here to the deliberate cultivation of a “refined palate”, which usually involves developing a taste for what is bitter, pungent and even rotten. But I’m also thinking about developing a taste for something out of necessity, and then continuing to enjoy it when it’s no longer necessary for your survival.

Our personal taste for food is always a reflection of our childhood diet, and no matter how much you develop your palate you’ll never fully disconnect it from your earliest experiences. And this is true of other kinds of tastes as well, other kinds of appetites and sensual pleasures.
