death/city/storm witch, general occult and the strange

Hey guys! This here is a recipe that I’ve been using for some time now and I love it. It gives me energy and happiness for the rest of the day. I use this in the summer for those sunny days out and about. I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I do.

Ingredients

4 lemons

3 ½ cups of halved strawberries

7 cups of water

½ cup of honey

sugar to taste (mine is somewhere around ¾ cup)

a few leaves of basil (for the top)

Directions

Prepare the fruits. Wash the strawberries and cut them in halves, slice the lemons in haves and juice them. 

Add 2 cups of water, the sugar, and the honey into a pot and mix on low medium heat for about two minutes or until everything is mixed and there are no chunks.

Add strawberries into a blender and mix until chunky, then add sugar water mixture and lemon juice and blend until a puree.  

Add the blended mixture into the rest of the water and stir until everything is combined together.

Pour into a cup and place a few leaves of basil on top.

For this recipe there is no chant. Of course you are able to add one, but I find that just making this with happiness and comfort gives the lemonade a great deal of energy. I hope your summers are happy and filled with youthful joy.

I will be posting some things about commissions and some of the services I offer soon. So keep a look out for that! Love you all!

💥 Starting out in Astrology can feel like too much is being thrown at you all at once. It took me a while to grasp the basics of it. I’m still studying and learning new things everyday as there is just so much to take in and put into daily practise.

🌞 These are a few tips on how to get started🌝

1. First come to terms with what a sun, moon and rising sign is. 🌞🌝↗️

.These three are the most important but also the most easy to learn when trying to understand a chart. Research what each one represents and find the signs that they fall in in your chart.

2. Get your natal chart/birth chart🖋🗒

. For you natal/birth chart you need to know the date, time and place you were born. You can acquire a copy of one online for free in most places, a good site I use is Astro.com and Cafeastrology.com. Keep a copy of you full chart for future reference. Ask your friends and family and keep there charts to practise with too😊

3. Read up and practise in small doses🌸📚

. Astrology is a lot of fun but can get confusing as you dive deeper into planets and houses etc, so I would suggest reading up on things, writing them down and working on it in small doses to start off with as it can become overwhelming.

4. Good Books to start off with📚

- The Signs by Carolyne Faulkner 🌙

- Moonology by Yasmin Boland 🌙

- A little bit of Astrology by Colin Bedell 🌙

5. Keep a journal 🗒🌠

- Take notes, always, and I cant stress this enough, when something is happening like a super full moon for example research and write about it in a journal, anything you find out, note it down you’ll need it later.

6. Have fun! 🌠🌙

. Astrology is interesting and so fun to learn about, its something you can use in daily life to keep track of whats going on up there 🌠 so have fun !!!
