The Fire. a tarot spread for beltane.

1. The Shadow.

An ever present darkness looms over your shoulder. What is hiding within your shadow? What challenge do you need to face?

2. The Fire.

The Beltane fire glows brightly. What does it want you to see? What is the source of your strength?

3. The Path.

You can endure the darkness and overcome your fear. What do you need to remember as you move forward? Where should you focus your energy?

witchy ways to reduce waste ♻️

note: these tips focus on reusing/finding a use for waste so that you don’t have to throw it away. arguably the most affective way to reduce your waste and carbon footprint is to consume less in the first place.

have a compost bin! this has so many benefits: you can put any compostable leftovers from kitchen magick to good use by allowing them to decompose. then you can use this lovely and nutrient-rich stuff to feed your plants.

make use of scraps and broken things. for example, broken jewellery makes for wonderful trinkets to enchant or offer to faeries. small scraps of fabric can be used to make poppets and charm bags. my favourite scraps are paper - i have so many from old notebooks and drawings that just didn’t turn out quite right. i use them all the time for sigils, petitions and remembering short incantations.

always reuse items designed for single use. i don’t purchase bottled water anymore, but when i did i accumulated lots of empty, plastic bottles. now i use these all the time to store all the specific water i use in my spellwork: moon water, sun water, river water, etc. but you don’t just have to reuse these! you can also use empty jars and shampoo/shower gel bottles for spells or storing ingredients.

i hope these tips were helpful to you! if you have any more please feel free to add them below.

adding this because i forgot to mention: everyone who is following regulations, you are saving lives. i’m so proud of you. i know it’s hard but you choose to the right thing. your kindness will return to you threefold and all my blessings are with you!

i try to never post anything negative, but i felt this needs to be said. i’d much rather find an outlet for this than internalise it.

people who i hear bragging about the fact that you’re ignoring government regulations by going outside and socialising with others: you truly disgust me.

you are endangering the lives of others. you are the reason that lockdown could potentially last far longer than this summer.

as a pagan witch it is my belief that i must protect the earth and all its blessings, including the lives of other people. so i stay inside whenever possible. it’s that simple.

the fact that you’re ignoring advice from medical professionals honestly puts you on the same level as anti-vaxxers. please, not for just your sake but everyone else’s, stay safe and stay inside.

i know many of you will have already celebrated ostara rather than easter, but this is still such an important message. 🐇

Kinda unhappy with this one, had too much story/ideas in my mind, but too few pages lol. Anyway, the message is still important. Rabbits often suffer from poor keeping and are often abandoned, especially around Easter time.

simple ideas for the pink moon🌸🌕

self-isolation may mean that you have a lack of resources or even energy to celebrate the full moon in the way you normally would. i think most of us are feeling a bit run-down, so here are some more easy rituals to complete to connect with Her tonight.

divination. even if you’re asking just one yes or no question, divination is perfect for making connections with the moon’s psychic energies. our intuition is often strongest at this time of the month. if you don't have access to divination tools such as oracle cards or a pendulum, you can meditate under the moon with a question in mind. you may be surprised by the answers that come to you.

charging crystals and other tools. you don't have to use your own energy for this. simply leaving your tools in the moonlight is a perfect way to charge them with intention. i leave some selenite on my windowsill along with my tools so i can cleanse and charge them all in one go.

make moon water. speaking of charging, leaving water in the moonlight gives it some fantastic properties such as spiritual healing and clairvoyance just to name a couple. i've already written a more extensive blog post on uses for moon water that you can read for some extra ideas!

speak to Her. talk about your feelings with the moon or any other lunar deities. tell Her about the self-care you’ve done recently - She’ll be happy to know Her child is looking after themselves. tell Her you love Her and simply appreciate Her light; She will always love and bless you in return.

stargaze. april is such an interesting time for the night sky! saturn, jupiter and mars will not be seen so close together in around two year’s time after tonight - see if you can spot them! and, of course, observe the moon in all Her full detail. this month, She is said to appear her biggest and brightest.

stargazing is a good way to get some fresh air since we’re inside most of the time (remember you can always still go in your garden). however, if you don't have access to such an outdoor space, open your window tonight and look up. you’ll be surprised by how much you can see.

blessings and best wishes to all my fellow practitioners! and feel free to add more ideas/discuss your plans for this year’s pink moon below.

Rose Sugar:

I made rose sugar yesterday and it smells amazing! I am planning on using it for tea and tea spells. The sugar reflects the pink of the petals and the entire jar is almost glowing pink ^-^
