My Spiritual Protection Tips:

đŸ–€ dragon’s blood incense is a good protective energy additive to spells and wards. burn it for protection.

đŸ–€ shells with horns and spikes make great protective charms for rooms.

đŸ–€ black tourmaline and white jade are a power couple when it comes to negative energy removal and protection.

đŸ–€ i use black candles for banishing and white candles to transmute negative energy into positive energy.

đŸ–€ create servitors/thoughtforms for protection.

đŸ–€ visualizing impenetrable armor around your body, golden light, and shields are great exercises.

đŸ–€ i like to take a bundle of cedar and walk around in each space that has bad energy, sweep it over my body, and then safely burn it in a cauldron or fire safe dish. visualizing that all the negative energy it has collected is being transmuted into abundant blessings.

đŸ–€ if you work with spirits or deities, petition them, pray to them, ask them for help.

đŸ–€ drink green tea to heal any damage in your energy and aura.

đŸ–€ a fresh vase of flowers helps to raise a space’s vibration.

đŸ–€ritual baths with sea salt, sage, cedar, any oils or potions you like to work with for protection will help.

đŸ–€ charge a glass of water with purifying intent before drinking (can be done anywhere/anytime)

đŸ–€exercising helps to heal your energy and cleanse all stagnant energies out of your system.

đŸ–€ putting a drop of skin safe lavender essential oil on energy points, (i like putting them on my wrists and the nape of my neck), will seal off entrances for negative spirits so they cannot possess you.

đŸ–€ with a strong intention just tell the energy to leave. it works wonderfully.

đŸ–€ petition archangel michael with a candle for him, dress it with cinnamon pieces, cinnamon oil, orange slices, orange oil, and let it safely burn to protect you from all lower vibrational energies.

đŸ–€ if possible; a quick trip to the beach, regardless if you are a sea witch or not, will help purify and protect you from bad energy.

đŸ–€ visualize opening an energetic black hole and push all the negative energy into it banishing it then, close it up.

đŸ–€ elixirs made with cinnamon, pepper, salt, and sage are great for dressing protection candles.

đŸ–€obsidian, onyx, black hematite, and black tourmaline are my favorites for absorbing negative energy and transmuting it.

đŸ–€ meditate with a smokey quartz to ground stagnant energy.

đŸ–€selenite will cleanse and open up blocked energy channels letting positive energies flow easier.

đŸ–€my favorite protection herbs: rosemary, palo santo, cedar, sweetgrass, and sage of any kind (can be dried garden sage)

đŸ–€ ALWAYS remember to invite only positive, abundant, high vibrational energies into your space after cleansing. this is very important because once negative energy is gone it can leave a void allowing more negative energy to enter.

I don’t want to be rich, I just want to be comfy.

Want to have one really nice set of plates and silverware for company and Thanksgiving.

Want to be able to buy a new outfit and a good bra at least a couple times a year.

Want to be able to give “just because” gifts.

Want to burn incense and candles in my home daily, and have nice soaps.

Want to be able to donate to charity frequently and without worry.

Want to buy hardcover books to read and put on a shelf for my kids to read someday.

Want to have candies in bowls for people who visit.

Want to be able to take my young siblings and cousins to a movie and let them get the big popcorn they won’t finish, because there’s magic in just having it.

Want to have a linen closet or at least a linen shelf.

Want to go see live local theater several times a year.

Want to have a bottle of wine or champagne in the house for when I suddenly need to celebrate.

Want to have a kitchen with basic baking supplies so I can bake bread on the weekend, and pies for special occasions.

I just want to be comfy.

That is my definition of ‘wealth’, as contrasted with ‘excess’.  As my mother in law put it – if I can see a little something in a store that I know a friend would love, and just BUY it for them without having to worry about whether I can afford it in the budget, that means I’m well off.  And that?  That is what I want.

For everyone.  

Everyone.

You know, when I was in the Guides (you’re called Girl Scouts in America, right?) there were always people muttering about how it was regressive and anti-feminist and whatever, making us do girly things all the time, and I kind of internalised that. It wasn’t until I left for university that I realised exactly how damn much it had taught me. 

I knew how to cook. I knew how to light a fire, do basic first aid, swim, iron, do the laundry, wash-up oil-soaked frying pans at lightning speed, make a bed, change a fuse, hell, even build a bridge in an emergency. I found out the other day that one of my friends didn’t know what you were supposed to do when you burn yourself. On my first day at university, I met somebody who didn’t know how to to do the washing up. 

People had such a weird view on it when we were kids. They weren’t teaching us to be housewives. They weren’t teaching us how to look after other people, not really. They were teaching us how to take care of ourselves. I kind of wish I could go back and apologise for sulking so much about being made to learn the symbols on laundry labels. 

And if they taught me to paint my nails stylishly and flower-arrange like a duchess too, well, you can bet I have the best looking dorm room on campus. 

People are so quick to shit on traditionally feminine activities
 without realizing that basically forever, women have been the backbone of society. Laundry, cooking, childcare, etc are important and are honorable and respectable jobs/tasks, so long as they aren’t imposed on anyone because of gender. 

Everyone should know how to do laundry, cook for themselves, and do all the things listed above. If a man (or anyone for that matter_ felt he was above those things because they would make him less respectable, I’d actually lose respect for him.

BATHING PRAYER BATHING PRAYER

This poem was taken down at Creagorry, Benbecula, on the 16th of December 1872, from Janet Campbell, nurse, Lochskiport, South Uist. The reciter had many beautiful songs and lullabies of the nursery, and many instructive sayings and fables of the animal world. These she sang and told in the most pleasing and natural manner, to the delight of her listeners. Birds and beasts, reptiles and insects, whales and fishes talked and acted through her in the most amusing manner, and in the most idiomatic Gaelic. Her stories had a charm for children, and it was delightful to see a small cluster of little ones pressing round the narrator, all eyes, all ears, all mouth, and all attention, listening to what the bear said to the bee, the fox to the lamb, the harrier to the hen, the serpent to the pipet, the whale to the herring, and the brown otter of the stream to the silvery grilse of the current. Those fair young heads, now, alas! widely apart, probably remember some of the stories heard at Janet Campbell’s knee better than those they afterwards heard in more formal schools.

PALMFUL for thine age,

    A palmful for thy growth,

A palmful for thy throat,

    A flood for thine appetite.

For thy share of the dainty,

    Crowdie and kail;

For thy share of the taking,

    Honey and warm milk.

For thy share of the supping,

    Whisked whey and milk-product;

For thy share of the spoil,

    With bow and with spear.

For thy share of the preparation,

    The yellow eggs of Easter;

For thy share of the treat,

    My treasure and my joy,

For thy share of the feast

    With gifts and with tribute;

For thy share of the treasure,

    Pulset of my love.

For thy share of the chase

    Up the face of the Beinn-a-cheo;

For thy share of the hunting

    And the ruling over hosts.

For thy share of palaces,

    In the courts of kings;

For thy share of Paradise

    With its goodness and its peace.

The part of thee that does not grow at dawn,

    May it grow at eventide;

The part of thee that does not grow at night,

    May it grow at ridge of middle-day.

      The three palmfuls

      Of the Secret Three,

      To preserve thee

      From every envy,

      Evil eye and death;

      The palmful of the God of Life,

      The palmful of the Christ of Love,

      The palmful of the Spirit of Peace,

          Triune

          Of Grace.

BOISILEAG air th’ aois,

    Boisileag air th’ fhas,

Boisileag air th’ ugan,

    Tuilim air a chail.

Air do chuid an chugan dhut,

    Gruidhim agus cal;

Air do chuid an ghabhail dhut,

    Meal is bainne blath.

Air do chuid an chomaidh dhut,

    Omhan agus ais;

Air do chuid an chobhartaich

    Le bogha agus gais.

Air do chuid an uidheam dhut,

    Uibhean buidhe Chasg;

Air do chuid an chuileagan,

    M’ ulaidh agus m’ agh.

Air do chuid an chuilm dhut,

    Uilim agus can;

Air do chuid an chuilidh dhut

    Cuisilin mo ghraidh.

Air do chuid an fhaghaid dhut,

    Ri aghaidh Beinn-a-cheo;

Air do chuid an fhiadhach dhut,

    Is riaghladh air sloigh.

Air do chuid an luchairt,

    An curtaibh nan righ;

Air do chuid a fhlathas dhut,

    Le mhathas is le shith.

A chuid nach fas ’s a chumhanaich,

    Gum fas ’s an dubha-thrath;

A chuid nach fas ’s an oidhche dhiot,

    Air dhruim a mheadhon la.

      Tri baslach

      Nan Tri run,

      Dha do chumhn

      Bho gach tnu,

      Suil agus bas;

      Baslach Ti nan dul

      Baslach Chriosda chumh,

      Baslach Spiorad numh,

          Tri-un

          Nan gras.

â€ȘThis will be our new lives if capitalism continues to exist‬

Just so you all know, the fire was likely caused by a private electric company, that essentially has a monopoly here, and could have been prevented if they shut off power in that area for only a few hours.

They chose not to because they wanted to maximize profit potential. This was more important to them than the entire town of Paradise.

No Corporation is your friend. No Corporation will ever care about the good of others unless it is profitable to do so.

Also another bullshit thing in California, at least in San Bernardino county, is that they passed a new thing that if it gets too windy, they have to shut off people’s power just in case their old and faulty equipment gets knocked down and starts a fire (because that is what happened with one of the other fires in SoCal this year).

It’s bullshit because instead of REPLACING their old and faulty equipment so it WON’T start fires, they just decide it’s better to just turn the power off if it gets a little too windy. And if you live where I live, it’s literally windy every fucking day.
