The Devil Went Down to Georgia and The Ballad of Tam Lin have the same energy and you can’t change my mind

This is not as melodramatic as it sounds:

Get that IUD. Stock up on birth control. Snag some morning after pills. Get a passport/make sure yours is updated.

What’s next at the Supreme Court will set us back generations.

Roe will be overturned as soon as they get that seat filled and if you think I’m exaggerating I’d urge you to look at the opinions this term and then consider what happens when all we have are Ginsburg, Sotomayor, and Kagan filing gorgeous, fiery dissents that will make absolutely no difference in what will come to pass.

Especially if you live in a state with a “trigger” law. Do it. Do it now, uterus owners. Protect yourself while you still can.

I was just discussing this. I think I’m going to.

If you have the resources to do so, stock up on birth control, emergency contraception, etc., even if you personally won’t need/use them. There may be a LOT of need later on that you could help with.

Invocation to Brighid
Brighid, Thou Exalted Lady,
Bríd, Brig, Bride, Brigit, Brigantia,
Sainted One, Foster-Mother of the Christ and all who came before,
You Who keep watch at the sacred fires.
Healer, smith, poet; midwife, keener, shaper, transformer.
Across miles and across aeons
Your children call.
Beloved Brighid, arise.
In the secret cave of this dark night, light the fire of spring.
Lady Most High, Muime, Fire of Creation,
Well-Keeper, Mother of the Isles, Living Oak, Aid-Woman,
Forger of Souls:
On gentle wings, carried by flame,
Heed our cries and be with us this Imbolc eve.
Arise from betwixt us, each fire feeding the other,
Spread your mantle over this reaching circle of spirits.
Bring to our souls nourishing milk,
To our hearths, wood and heat,
To our heads, the bright flame of clarity,
To our hearts, clear water and soothing herbs,
To our hands, strength and resilience to shape and be shaped.
Under Your branches, before Your forge,
In the water of Your well, in the solace of Your hearth,
We await You.
Arrive and be welcomed.
O tar isteach, tá céad fáilte romhat, a bhean uasail!
O enter, you are a hundred times welcome, noble Lady!

Art and invocation are both mine, and the work is dedicated to Her.

This is a link to a free PDF book of Brigidine prayers, rituals, practices.

It was written and put together by Clann Bhride, a group of devotees of the goddess Brighid.

I’ve read through it and am so thankful for it- it has everything you need to inspire and nourish daily connection with Brighid.

I’m a part of Clann Bhride and let me just say that I have never been part of a more wonderful spiritual group. “The Book of Hours” is just one resource they’ve put forth and are currently working on updating their website with more Brighid focused material. Check it out if interested!

I also serve on their Advisory Council so feel free to drop me a line if you have any questions about ‘em

Leftovers from my full moon ritual (which I did a day early due to not being able to observe on the actual full moon). Offerings were made to my familiar spirit and the Fairy Queen, wine and fruit was shared, and attraction magic was worked.

Over the summer, I have been away from my home in Portland to work a summer job in California. I have brought a small box of ritual and magic supplies with me to do altar set-ups on the fly. It’s not fancy, but it works.

“Yet soil is miraculous. It is where the dead are brought back to life. Here, in the thin earthy boundary between inanimate rock and the planet’s green carpet, lifeless minerals are weathered from stones or decomposed from organic debris. Plants and microscopic animals eat these dead particles and recast them as living matter. In the soil, matter recrosses the boundary between living and dead; and, as we have seen, boundaries-edges-are where the most interesting and important events occur.”

Beauty Tips for The Sexy Witch

chisholm-witch:

• eat citrus fruits or drink fruit water as an alternative to mints. Fruit, especially sour fruit, promotes salivation, which helps to fight off bacteria in your mouth that causes bad breath. adding some strawberry, lemon, and kiwi slices to a bottle of water is a great way to keep your breath sweet.

• Next time you make guacamole, save the pit of the avocado, dry it, and keep it in your purse or on your person. Avocado pits are deeply symbolic of sex, lust, love, and beauty, and can help to attract romance. This symbolism dates back to the ancient aztecs, who named the avocado, “ahacatl,” or “green testicle.”

• Dilute a few drops of pomegranate and rose oil in a teaspoon of coconut oil, and massage this into your neck, chest, and behind your ears as a perfume. The scent is light, seductive, and easy on your partner’s taste buds when they go in to leave a few hickies. Plus, the coconut oil will leave your skin silky smooth and soft.

• Make some DIY jewelry out of wire and river pearl beads. Strings of river pearls can be found at most craft stores; they’re quite cheap, but just as natural and magical as expensive round pearls. Pearls are associated with beauty and sensuality, as well as corresponding to the moon and Venus. They carry a soft energy that promotes both romantic and sexual activity. Red jasper, rose quartz, and rhodochrosite are also good.

• Rosewater. I know so many witches AND non-witches rave over rosewater, but the hype is for good reason. Using rosewater as an astringent facial mist is a refreshing and sensual finishing touch to your date night beauty routine. Rose energy enhances your beauty, and the barely noticeable scent will entice your partner to come a little closer.

• strawberries are a natural aphrodisiac. A stick or container of strawberry lip balm can easily be enchanted to make your lips look naturally ravishing with some rose quartz, red jasper, and a pink candle. Bonus points if it’s pink or red tinted.

• Body glitter!! I know this isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but as someone who doesn’t often wear makeup, I like to find new and exciting ways to glamourize my look without it. Moisturizing body bars and sprays can be found at stores like lush, (the shimmy shimmy bar is my fave,) or online. You can also make your own with some coconut oil, beeswax, essential and fragrance oils, and skin safe seaweed based glitter. I use body glitter as an extra kick to beauty glamours, and a physical reminder of how magically delicious I look.

That’s all I have for now, but if you have any of your own tips please feel free to add on! Much love and good luck to you all 💕
