Lepidolite

Helps ease issues caused by depression and stress, is a stone of acceptance and trust, helps reduce obsessive thoughts and addictions, releases and reorganized old behavioural and psychological patterns, and encourages independence.

Recently I have gone through a tough situation where I was dependent on someone and it all came crashing down. After I had been feeling depressed and I started recognizing some of my old behaviours and traumas in this situation.

I find it fascinating how this stone is the one that called to me the most when I went searching for one, and I ended up getting two. I had no idea what it was for until I got home and read it, and sure enough it called me out on everything going on in my life right now.

I wish I could feel like a normal human being - an empath who’s tired of feeling everything

I forgot how much of witchcraft is self care so I finally have started drinking water again and like eating things that are good for me and have good properties? Witchcraft for the win

I hate being an empath sometimes because I can feel somethings wrong but the person won’t talk to me

Hello~

I’m starting to get back into my craft again! I was in a bad situation with a bad person, but now I’m out of there and I can finally start again. I’m also starting shadow work after a month of research and I’m excited to start my journey! If anyone has any tips about shadow work I would love to hear them

Empath x anger

As an empath, I hate holding grudges and the feeling of anger. That feeling of anger or hatred drains me of my energy and makes my heart and mind feel heavy. That’s why I choose not to surround myself with angry people, because it drains me of my energy.

An actual conversation between me and my deities before bed:

Me: Do you have anything you would like for me to know?

Freyja: I love crystals. I would like for you to wear your amber ring in my honor.

Loki: Peanut butter rocks!

..........

Me: Did you like your new offerings?

Freyja: Yes, they are beautiful and I love to watch you grow.

Loki: YESSS YOU GOT ME TOYS! I LOVE TO PLAY WITH TOYS!!

...........

Me: Is there anything else you would like to talk about before I put your candles out and go to bed?

Freyja: Have a wonderful night.

Loki: Good night sleep tight don’t let the bed bugs bite

Me: please don’t put any bugs in my bed

Loki: no promises

Sage question!

Hello, I am seeking information about white sage. A friend gifted it to me for my birthday, and they are a very small part native, but they bought it from a big chain store and it was probably not ethically sourced. Should I bury it, or is there something else I should do with it.
