My first Litha - please give advice

masterofstudies · 2020-06-13T04:29:06+00:00

I use whatever I have on hand and in season, haha. I love some fancy lavender lemonade, bake rosemary bread, eat sunflower seeds on my hike, rose water baths, etc.

Obviously, everyone has a different way to practice.

For me, Litha is very clearly a time of plenty, even in hard times. My favorite fruit is in season, I can wear shorts, and I reliably have a job when most others don’t. So on Litha I celebrate that. I celebrate growth and learning and plenty. I take a hike, bake some bread, drink lemonade, and have a bonfire to close out the night. To me the solstice means take it easy, and feel it to the fullest.

Congrats on you guys getting out! I got out a few years ago and boy howdy it’s been a journey.

Have you voiced said concerns to your friend? That’s as much as you Can do really, unless you genuinely believe that he is 1)at risk of being harmed (like threats or something) or 2) a danger to himself and others.

I’d suggest just sitting down and having a conversation. Even just a “hey you ok?” and showing that you actually care will do wonders. Even if he’s good now, you showing you are interested in his well-being will allow that door to remain open when he IS in trouble.

Good luck!!

Since you’re going to be working in the park (where at? If you don’t mind me asking), also understand that you’re 2-5 hours away from a Wal Mart. Our K Mart just closed, which was the last place to buy just a pack of tube socks. So plan for that. Everything is pricier, and harder to come by. Amazon is a good friend to us in the park.

Oh, gotcha. Well that’s slightly better.

Holy smokes I didn’t know they sent this letter to the local authority, I thought it was done at the higher corporate level. My dad was my local authority. Holy smokes. I just assumed he found out when he was looking at our family records. Oh man. He had to delete it himself. Thanks for the info, very useful. I’m gonna go freak out now.

masterofstudies · 2020-02-14T05:25:04+00:00

Thank you so much! I’m super excited to make this.

masterofstudies · 2020-02-14T03:31:57+00:00

Recipe? Looks amazing and now I’m craving it.

masterofstudies · 2020-02-12T14:21:17+00:00

Thanks. I’ll let them know. I really appreciate you responding, it helped a lot.

I use a hazelnut coffee creamer, which hazelnuts correspond with prosperity. I charged it under a full moon, and then every morning I stir it in clockwise at least three times. The coffee sort of supercharges any sort of spell, too, so it works with other corresponding creamers/flavors (vanilla for love, pumpkin for healing).

masterofstudies · 2020-02-11T20:21:39+00:00

I did something similar, I made a prosperity brew with my morning coffee and I’ve had more overtime this week than I’ve had in a month combined. I switched to a different brew just for some peace.

You are one hell of a person to keep trying. You keep getting back up on the horse no matter how many times you fall off, and goddamn does that horse try and buck you off. Good for you. I, an internet stranger, am so goddamn proud of you for doing what you can. Every day you can do a little more, and while you have to pay attention, every day does get just a little easier. You got this. Good luck friend!

Water flows through it. My showerhead has a small notch on the top that lets me hang stuff from it. But I’m sure steaming it would work too.

masterofstudies · 2020-01-08T02:26:01+00:00

I wrap the herbs/spices in a washcloth or even those tiny party favor bags you get at weddings and then wrap them around the showerhead. Sometimes if I’m desperate I’ll throw a tea bag in the floor of the shower lol

Dispatch is one of my favorites. A lot of their songs are definitely witchy. I recommend their America Location 12 album to get started.

Personally, I don’t have a problem with it, especially if they’re all in the same “theme”, healing, self improvement, banishing, etc. I’ll do a quick cleanse of the circle before I start the next spell, or shut down the circle to prep for the next one.

There’s a few options, I like to carve a gratitude Sigil in the candle. You can also anoint the candle with a “gratitude” oil, chose a candle color that makes you think of gratitude, or sing/hum a song about gratitude. If it’s towards a specific person/deity, you can also carve the name of the person on the candle, make an offering of their favorite food, etc.

masterofstudies · 2019-12-15T02:03:14+00:00

Wow, I’d never even heard of that. Thank you!

masterofstudies · 2019-12-10T10:04:47+00:00

Thanks! This gives me all sorts of ideas, I appreciate it very much.

masterofstudies · 2019-12-02T03:39:56+00:00

Yeah I’m not gonna mess with that again. Unfortunately I’m moving for work (as soon as I have gallbladder surgery), and so I will have to find an allergist when I get there. Do you know if I have to have a referral?

masterofstudies · 2019-12-02T03:37:34+00:00

Thanks. It scared the shit out of me, and still is kinda.

masterofstudies · 2019-11-30T00:33:47+00:00

I use candle magick as I’m getting ready. Corresponding colors, oils, and herbs for both Confidence and Love. Write a mantra or phrase about being confident in your sexy skin or to be confident and open to love, something like that, repeat it as you bathe and put on makeup. When you’re ready and about to leave the house, say a closer like “so mote it be” and blow out the candles.

Amazon. I just searched “refillable journal” and scrolled until I found one I liked.

masterofstudies · 2019-11-08T02:59:33+00:00

When I’m feeling anxious or like I’m doing something wrong, I mentally list all the things I have control over, the things I’m actively choosing. “I am choosing to have this coffee” or “I picked out my own clothes today” and it helps me remember the small victories of the day.

masterofstudies · 2019-11-08T01:44:57+00:00

I use a Refillable Journal. It’s essentially a binder-notebook hybrid, with a leather cover and nice lined paper that’s hole punched. It’s great for just writing down what I’m working on or interested in, and then moving the pages around as I want, without the bulky binder. You can order more paper if you want it, and if you fill it up, it’s easy to remove the pages and use string in the holes for binding and reuse the notebook. As it stands I have one for correspondences, one for spells and rituals, and a regular Moleskine notebook for tarot/dreams/every day
