Pisces Sun - Libra Moon - Sagittarius Rising

This combination blends the emotional sensitivity and intuitive understanding of Pisces with the courtesy and friendliness of Libra and produces a dreamy personality that is very pleasant indeed. There is nothing base, crude, ugly or terribly heavy about this personality. You are most likely a very creative person because you have an exact comprehension of form, beauty and aesthetic and your romantic soul extends to all things. The secret to your combination is devotion. Once you have set your goals in life, few can match your commitment and determination. You have a very optimistic attitude and you can see the “silver lining” in the clouds while others are still watching the storm. For a lot of Pisces-Librans, reality can be quite hard to deal with. Your unusual imagination might be put to use facing life’s problems. You are also an enthusiastic explorer who loves adventures. You have a need for freedom and independence that often leads into a traveling lifestyle.

Things to do for Yule

Hello witches! Here are some activities to do for Yule!

1. Enchant hot chocolate.

I always love a good cup of hot chocolate on a cold day, so why not make that a bit more magical? I always add peppermint to mine to wake myself up. You can make your hot chocolate homemade and put your own flavors into it. You can also try and make sigils with the foam!

2. Decorate your altar or sacred space.

You can decorate altar with a tiny tree or even have one in your room! You can also hang up things that remind you of Yule. If you work with any deities, you could decorate their space with what they like.

3. Make witchy presents for people.

Gifts could be as complex as a witch bottle or as simple as enchanting some jewelry. The sky is the limit!

4. Make self-love spells.

Sometimes the holidays can be a bit rough so doing self-love spells can really help! I made a witch bottle of self-love for a friend of mine. You can make sigils or even full rituals for self-love.

5. Enchant greeting cards.

If you send greeting cards to your relatives or friends, you can place sigils on them for good luck. You can place some money in for prosperity. You can simply cleanse the card and place your intention on it.

This is a bit of a shorter post but I hope this gave you some ideas for Yule! Happy holidays!

Ways you can celebrate Yule that aren’t just Christmas.

Celebrate on the correct days!: Yule is a solstice sabbat, which means it’s on the day before, of, and after the winter solstice*. It’s NOT December 25th.

Hang all kinds of evergreens everywhere: Do you know why? Because while snow is very pretty at first after a while the never ending blinding white and brown and black starts to drive you slowly insane. Holly and Mistletoe are the two brightest green plants you could get your hands on during winter so of course they were everywhere!

Light a massive bonfire**: It’s dark and cold and everyone is miserable. Burn some shit! If you aren’t a heathen then Yule is about the rebirth of the sun god(dess?). Welcome that guy back with the best sun imitation you could get!

Leave feed out for Odin’s Horse: Kids would leave out hay or treats for Odin’s Horse(Sleipnir) to eat while he road in the wild hunt. A gift given means a gift must be returned and so Odin(also known as the parents) would leave treats for the kids. Yes this is where Santa came from.

Make winter clothes: Winter was the time when all the housework was done because, well, you can’t plant when the field is under five feet of snow. Clothes were often made during this time and given to the family.

Welcome guests into your home: If there was one thing the Germanic people valued it was hospitality. Friend who has no were to go? Come on over! Your kid’s friend who comes from a tricky home? Why don’t they stay a night or two. Everyone is invited!

Anything that still has Yule in the name probably comes from the original:  Yule log, Yule boar, Yule goat. These are all from the original feast day. 

Yule is a feast to celebrate the wild hunt: So make a feast!

And finally, throw one hell of a party***: Yule is a Norse holiday guys. There was no such thing as a low-key party in that culture. The majority of their myths can be summed up thusly; partying, beating up someone who ruined the partying, partying because they beat someone up. Have fun!

*These are the days I do it because celebrating for 12 days - 2 months is impractical.

**Don’t be dumb with fire.

***Don’t do anything illegal.

I’m not a heathen, and also observe Yule very low-key because I still live in my parents house. If there is anything I missed or got wrong please add onto this!

**Reminder that "smudging" is part of a closed practice. Please call it smoke cleansing.

🕯️ Candle Magic 🕯️

Candle magic is one of my favorite type of ritual, because it is relatively simple to setup, and non-expensive. You just need a candle, and fire to light it up. If you want the spell to be even more powerful, feel free to carve symbols or sigils on the candle before lighting it. Then sit down, observe the flame, and think about a question that is worrying you.

Candle reading 

🔥 Candle will not light: the question cannot be answered anymore, because things are already in movement, you cannot turn back now. 

🔥 Strong, stable flame: the answer to your question is “yes”. 

🔥 Weak, small flame: the answer to your question is “no”. 

🔥 Dancing flame: there is chaotic, undisciplined energy present. You need to focus and meditate before taking any decision at the moment. 

🔥 Crackling flame: spirits might be present in the room, and they would like to speak to you. Be open to their message. 

🔥 A lot of smoke is coming out: the universe is helping you cleanse yourself and your room, leaving space for new opportunities and energies. 

🔥 Candle will not go out: the spirits are telling you that the ritual is not over. Ask yourself if your question was the right one, or if there is anything that needs to be further discussed.

I’m getting tired of this iron deficiency anemia... usually you’re told what the reason is behind the anemia. My doctor didn’t look into it at all!!! I mentioned my periods and she said “No, you have to bleed so much that you wake up twice to change a pad”... what?!

What makes it worse is that my chest pain hasn’t gone away. I’ve been dealing with this for 3 months and it hasn’t gotten better. I just want to be able to walk normally again without feeling winded or my heart racing. I have no one to really talk with about my struggles... I’m nervous cause I think it might be something worse. A few months back, I got bit by 6 ticks (not at once). I’m scared it might be Lyme disease and I’m tired of doctors not listening...
