Spell Record Worksheet

For people who want to record their spells in a grimoire or elsewhere and enjoy having an outline like I do. This is designed to make it as easy as possible to look back and see what elements may have effected the outcome for better or worse.

✒️Name of Spell: Self-explanatory. ✒️Intent: What do you want to gain from this? What’s the goal? ✒️Time Cast: Date, day of week, moon phase, etc. ✒️Ingredients/Materials Used: Consider adding their relevant correspondences or WHY you chose them in particular. ✒️Actions: What did you do? What did you say? ✒️Notes: Did anything strange or interesting happen while casting? Relevant music come on? Were you interrupted? Are the candles acting weird? Make note. ✒️Outcome: Follow up with the results! Did it work in the way you expected, or do you need to tie up loopholes next time? If it didn’t work, what elements of the spell could be improved?

Aphrodite’s sugar scrub spell

This face scrub is my own concoction and works better then any store bought face mask. You can save it in the fridge for up to two weeks or make a smaller fresh batch every time you feel your skin needs that extra pickup.

Things you will need:

Small air tight jar (if keeping longer then one use) or bowl

Tumbled rose quartz crystal - Self love

Parsley - Sacred to Venus and Aphrodite. Brightens skin and fights bacteria. 

Sugar - Drawing romance to you. Exfoliate agent.

Honey - Sweetens your appearance. Slows down ageing process. 

Olive oil - Sacred to Aphrodite. Moisturizes skin.

Lemon juice - Purifies your spell and pairs well with love spells. Clarifies the skin.

Rose petals - Symbol of love. Soothes irritation. 

Place rose petals into the bottom of your bowl or jar and set your rose quartz over top of them. Pour a small amount of each ingredient over the quartz, envisioning them pulling the self loving properties from the stone and into the scrub. Mix all ingredients together to form a thick paste. 

Massage over the face avoiding eyes and wash with a warm cloth. Then enjoy your smooth exfoliated skin!

Note: Don’t forget to remove your quartz after and wash it thoroughly to be used again!

tips for writing bilingual characters

there are different types of bilinguals

the All Around: speaks, reads, and writes both languages pretty well

the Conversational: one language is stronger than the other; can speak the other language a lot better than they read/write it (a lot of kids of immigrants are this type)

the High Schooler: understands what’s being said to them in the other language, can’t really speak it

don’t have your characters randomly drop words from their other language mid-sentence around people who don’t speak it lol

languages are a mindset thing. like personally if i’m around english-speakers, i’m speaking english and i don’t really switch to my other language (which is portuguese)

so like if you’re writing a bilingual character who speaks spanish and have them say something like “hey chad let’s go to the biblioteca” to an english speaker i’ll probably spend 5 minutes laughing and then close your story lmao

exception: the character is speaking in their weaker language and forgot a word (”where are the…? uh… llaves…. keys! keys, where are they?”)

otherwise really the only time your character should be randomly switching languages mid-sentence is if they’re talking to another bilingual

like i don’t speak spanish but i’ve legit never heard a spanish speaker say “ay dios mio” to gringos lmao

conversations between two bilingual people can take a few different forms:

Pick One: they pick one language and kinda stick with it for the whole conversation (a conversation i might have with my portuguese-speaking mom: ”you okay?” “yeah, i’m good. how’re you?” “i’m fine, but your dad-”)

Back-and-Forth: someone says something in one language, the other person replies in the other (”tudo bem?” “yeah, i’m good. how’re you?” “tou bem, mas o seu pai-”)

Combo: they speak a combo of the two languages, a popular example being spanglish, though basically every bilingual has their own combo language (”tudo bem?” “sim, tou bem. how’re you?” “i’m fine, mas o seu pai-”)

when in doubt: just ask a bilingual to look at your stuff and tell you if anything sounds weird

Tarot, anyone? 🥰

If you’re mad don’t sit there and argue with insults that aren’t even true.

Argue it out with the topic at hand - Don’t attack personal life or appearance. It’s very childish and will never work out for you in the end.

If you’ve been in a “bad place” mentally/emotionally for over a year now - Something needs to change and you’re not doing a damn thing to help yourself. You’ve given up and you need to stop backing down.

Especially when you’re given loads of opportunities to help escape/cope, whether it’s with a friend, a new environment, or professional help and you completely decline it all.

If you refuse the help we try giving you, there’s no way you’ll get the help you’re continuously begging for. It’s all on you at this point to build up the courage and step on your pride. Build your dignity back up and stand the fuck up until you’re healthy again.

People always try to talk about how “we don’t need a wellness check we just want someone to talk to” but literally refuse to open up to us. How do you expect the help you want when you refuse it’s opportunity?

Also, New Years resolutions. Why wait until next year to change? Imagine how much further you’d be on December 31st if you started today. Also, if you know you need to change something about yourself, what’s making you wait? What’s stopping you from starting now?

~ Transmuting energies instead of absorbing them is a skill every empath should master.

✨ The key to transmutation is being the neutral observer and remaining detached, don’t identity yourself with other people’s emotional baggage. ✨
