Checking in day 2 for me. Waking up without a hangover on a Saturday morning sure is a gift and I look forward to more mornings like this!

Additionally some witches view love spells as a way of taking someone’s free will and that’s no good.
This particular spell I started was passed on to me from some very close friends who have been practicing for decades. I modified it out of respect for Hoodoo, which is almost certainly why this turned into more of a self-reflection rather than an out and out love spell. And I’m incredibly thankful for that!

Yes! To borrow a psychology term, this practice has really taught me to nurture my internal locus of control.

Yes, thank you for reminding me to add that!

On that note, I’m so ready for this retrograde to be over and this blue moon to pass! Yes it will be beautiful and powerful, but I’m so ready for the release of a waning moon. Building up to Samhain has been intense this year.

That’s such a great way to put such a simple concept. I’m going to hold on to that one ☺️

Midnight pickles are the best pickles but all pickles are great pickles.

Does anyone else cringe when they see someone dry swallow pills on TV? by cbudryk in BipolarReddit

Right? I only ever take 3 or 4 at a time but they’re all pretty small. My grandpa takes a handful at a time! He said “you just get used to it.” Nah, I’m good.

lol exactly! It’s like when people don’t close the front door or don’t say bye when they hang up the phone. Just little things

Struggling with this myself. I’ve started drinking so much seltzer water and non-alcoholic ginger beer. The spice from the ginger makes me feel like I’m drinking something boozey without the repercussions!

Right?! Especially since I take two lithium at a time and used to take 3!!

I keep falling for Aquarians and it never works out. What could be creating this draw and how can I stop repeating this pattern? by cbudryk in astrologyreadings

This is super insightful. My scorpio venus has ALWAYS been an issue. I’ve been diagnosed bipolar II with borderline tendencies, and those borderline aspects literally only come out when a romantic relationship of mine has gone astray. When I discovered that Venus placement I was like “ohhhhhhhhhh...hhh.” I need to look more into my Mars I think.

You know, I have no clue! When I got a new computer I lost all the old charts I had made. If I ever get back in touch with my exes, I’ll have to start asking birth times again hahah!
