practice gratitude.
here's the thing · you, very often, don’t give yourself credit for all of the amazing things that have happened and still take place in your life. i can assure you, there have to be so many great things that you‘ve experienced this week — no! even today, there has to be at least one thing that made you smile. it really doesn’t matter how big or small it is. it could be someone winking at you when you were out, getting a message from someone who you haven’t talked to in a long time or something casual that you already got used to but still makes your every day special. appreciate it. don’t take it for granted. if you feel like life is boring or if you are complaining about things not going your way and feeling frustrated, think of the things that DO go your way. celebrate your small achievements that often go unnoticed. turn small victories into big ones and make them meaningful to YOU. remind yourself of the things you are happy to have, happy to experience, happy to see,… we really tend to overlook the beautiful things in our lives and take them for granted because we don’t know what it’s like without them.
GOOD things, BETTER than good things, MORE than just a few good things happen to you every day. yes, there is also probably going to be a handful of things that weren’t as pleasant or weren’t nearly as worthy of appreciation compared to other things, but you decide what you want to focus on. every day, you have the option to choose on which thing you want to spend your energy on by thinking and reminiscing about it. it’s up to you if you want to celebrate your accomplishments and feel content about them, or look forward for the next bigger, worthier and more valuable thing to cherish.
today, i want you to recall at least a handful of things that you are thankful for. there is no limit. you can continue as much as you want. but just think about it — what am i grateful for? what do i appreciate to have? how does it make me feel to be the person that gets to experience these wonderful things? i promise, you will definitely think of some lovely things. ♡
with love, ella.

I love savoring my morning routine slowly like a delicious cappuccino. I love applying my luxurious serums and perfecting my little skincare rituals. I love wearing silky robes around the house daily. I love growing my rosegold jewelry collection. I love going on evening jogs and then enjoying a cool shower, purifying sheet mask and my chamomille tea as I curl up on the couch with a good book.
I love spoiling myself, celebrating myself, reconnecting with myself again and again. It's so healing to love the little moments of your daily life. The more present and grateful you are in the moment, the more you can savour all the flavours life has to offer.

Self Care and Self Love - But, Make It Magical
Tumblr media
If you're like me, you may have a very difficult time with very basic self-care activities and practicing witchcraft regularly. Because of depression, I often have a difficult time motivating myself to care for myself simply and cultivate my craft because I deserve it. So, I try to incorporate magic and deities into it to give me a boost of motivation. Here are some of the things I do and feel free to add your own!
Please note that this is all my own unverified personal gnosis.
Sustenance
Dedicate your meal prep and cooking to your domestic/agrarian diety. I typically dedicate my meal prep and cooking in general to Hestia and Dionysus. Hestia being the domestic goddess; I associate Dionysus with decadence and pleasure, so I honor him by making delicious, higher quality, more nutritious meals.
Make your food a spell. Plan your spices and ingredients accordingly. Food is a medicine; don't underestimate the intentions and power of your food as a spell. I find these "spells" are exceptionally powerful when trying to influence your personality, beauty, and behavior. For example, a glamor or beauty spell made with foods associated with beauty. My favorite is a salad bowl with quinoa, avocado, sweet potato, and tomatoes - ingredients all associated with healthy skin and youthfulness.
Drink water. Honestly, it's the stuff of life. How rejuvenating is water? It also has so many magical associations and properties. Various water deities, it's a natural element, it is cleansing, etc. Staying hydrated will make you feel magical.
Hygiene
Skincare! Washing, moisturizing, and sunscreen! But, now it's dedicated to the deity of love and beauty. You may also want to say a prayer over your products, or perhaps cast a glamour or other spell on them. I always wash my face immediately after work as I feel the cleansing of the face is very energetically cleansing.
Showering/bathing. Easy cleansing. Also, a great time to harness the energy of water, manifest, commune with water deities or spirits, and meditate.
Use scented soap, lotion, etc to your advantage. Use scents that have a correspondence that resonates with you. I love doing this and as a rule, I have different scents for times when I'm at work and when I'm at home. While at work, I prefer energizing scents like citrus or mints. While at home, I prefer sultry or soothing scents like sandalwood or lavender. You can also dedicate the use of a certain scent to specific deities, such as sandalwood being associated with Aphrodite.
Activities
Spend time truly relaxing and doing nothing else. Rest, watch TV, listen to music, anything that is your equivalent of being switched off. For me, this is a time to connect with deities like Hypnos and Pasithea, or even Eriene. You can even watch shows that you think certain deities would like. Don't feel guilty about doing this. Everyone needs rest. Sometimes I envision my figurative battery recharging. I find this time very important for replenishing energy expelled in mundane and magical activities.
Work on your hobbies. Whatever your hobby, you will certainly be able to find some diety to dedicate the time to, or perhaps the product. Hobbies can be a great way to make "sacrifices" to your deities. Depending on your hobby, you can also listen to audiobooks and podcasts that help you learn about witchcraft or paganism. Also depending on your hobby, you may infuse it with magic. For example, you can find many spells involving weaving or knotting if you use yarn or fabric in your hobby. Hobbies have sooo many possibilities for magic.
Exercise. This one is really difficult for me as I really do not like to exercise on my work days, but I work five days a week. However, exercising can be extremely meditative and euphoric. It is a great time to connect with your body, practice controlling your mind, and learn/increase your limits. I find that, personally, exercise is also a good time for shadowwork and introspection. Furthermore, I'm Hellenic, and events like the Olympics are highly associated with Hellenism. So, I've been trying to really associate caring for my body and pursuing fitness as a divine undertaking.
Mental Health
Enjoy the nature around you. Enjoy the natural plants, enjoy trees, birds, the air, storms, etc. Anything that makes you feel connected to the world around you. To me, this is a significant way to replenish and grow my energy. Spending time in nature is really good for our mental health - this will make you a more focused witch. More focus = better casting, manifestation, etc. You can even combine the outdoors with exercise.
Harness your emotions. You aren't going to feel good all the time, you aren't going to feel bad all the time. However, every emotion is valid and carries power/energy. If you're mad, do the hex you've been wanting to do - it will be stronger than ever. If you're happy and finding love and humor in the world - abundance spells and manifestation will be enhanced. Don't be afraid of your emotions. Using them in magic is a great way to confront them directly and learn to be comfortable with having a full range of emotions. I've noticed many people are taught that anger, for example, is bad and many of those people grow up to be uncomfortable with negative emotions.
Journal, especially gratitude journals. Honestly, life-changing, but for me, very hard to commit to. I try to use this time to also speak with and receive messages from my deities. Also to connect with and understand my subconscious more. You can even incorporate this into your grimoire. I often look for themes in my journal entries that lead me to cast spells or direct my research. I use this space to also track the patterns I've been seeing which helps with discernment; recognizing the difference between my mind grasping at straws, coincidences, and signs.

things that make me happy (besides good grades)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
sometimes when i have an entire to do list pending (which is almost always), it's hard for me to be completely present and enjoy life as it unfolds before me. making this kind of list helps me remember that this is why i work so hard in the first place — so that i can have the luxury of experiencing moments like this.
butterflies 🦋
cared-for gardens 🪴
cute animals 🐧
cute animals doing silly things 🙈
finding a secluded, beautiful spot in nature 🏞️
the color yellow 💛
views that still manage to feel like a post card or nature documentary even when they're right before your eyes 🚠
experiencing all of the above with people i love 🥰

Gratitude Journal
Last night Noah and I went out to eat at a restaurant his parents had given us a gift card for.
It's kind of fancy, and the appetizers are off the chain. We had crawfish beignets with this mustard remoulade that was to die for. We asked the waiter if they sold the remoulade and he said no, but he offered to bring us some extra. Y'all. He brought us three little plastic containers of it. He hooked us UP.
I also enjoyed the mango chile margarita I ordered. It had tajin on the rim and a pineapple garnish. Refreshing and unique and tasty. (Forget salt rims, it's all about tajin now.)
We've been going to this restaurant for years, and they used to have this amazing dessert, the Vice Cake. It had chocolate, coffee, bourbon, and tobacco extract. (ETA: And candied bacon on top!!!) Absolutely ridiculous and delicious. They haven't had it for like five years, so we asked our waiter if the restaurant was ever planning on bringing it back. He said he'd only been there a month and a half so he wasn't familiar with it, but he'd ask.
He came back a couple minutes later and said he'd asked the manager, and the manager would stop by.
So the manager stopped by. He said the cake wasn't on the menu and there were no plans to bring it back, but "You're never going to believe this..." Turns out the owner had visited the restaurant the previous day, and they wanted to do something special for him, so the chef looked up the recipe and made the Vice Cake. Just the one. The owner and his guest had two small slices and didn't finish the rest.
So this one night only, they had leftovers of this balls-to-the-wall cake. They brought us a "slice" the size of...well, just LOOK at it (my hand for scale):
Tumblr media
We were stuffed to the gills at this point so we got it to-go.
What are the chances? This one night, this one restaurant, this one cake they haven't had in five years...
It was a great date night. (Plus, I'd just gotten my hair colored for the first time in a few years, so I was looking pretty hot. Anyway.)

I made my gratitude journal. That includes the cover and pages. It is junk journal style and inspired by Aphrodite.
