The Shadows Haunt Me

I made a comic bc people have been bringing me down about my practice. A reminder to us all that we are valid 💕

Here’s some advice I had about sigils, a fun and accessible way to make your life more magical! There was a lot I wanted to say so I hope it’s not too wordy.

Seven is another cerebral number, and those with a Life Path number 7 have a loner quality. They need to learn to have faith. If they do not have faith they tend to become very cynical and escape through drugs, alcohol, work, and geography. They have a love of natural beauty: ocean, green grass, plants, flowers, etc…  Sevens have an air of mystery and do not want you to know who they are. Intellectual, analytical, intuitive, reserved, natural inclination towards spiritual subjects, aloof, loner, pessimistic, secretive, and insecure; are some of the qualities of those born into the Seventh Life path. A person who is a Life Path 7 is a thinker. If your Life Path is a 7 you are wise and studious. You seek truth and wisdom in all that you do, and search for the underlying answers in everything. Your tendency is to be a perfectionist, and you expect the same from those around you.  Because you are most comfortable by yourself, a loner or introvert, you happily give up the stress and turmoil of a busy life in favor of a quiet, peaceful life of solitude. 7 is a spiritual number, and most 7’s are drawn to spiritual pursuits.  Your love of solitude can make it difficult for you to form close relationships. While you value your independence you may often feel lonely or isolated because you lack closeness with others. Because you spend so much time alone, you may lose your consideration for others and become inflexible. One of the challenges for you is to find a balance between maintaining your solitude while not becoming completely isolated. Seven represents spiritual focus, analysis, being original, independent; If you have this number people often feel like they don’t know you; you are a mystery, and some may see you as eccentric.  Life path number 7 is the number of a higher awareness, a wider point of view. When all around you are admiring the trees, you’re absorbed in the forest. Your lesson is to train yourself to see both. You may be afraid of heights, but your heart soars like an eagle. You probably will always see more widely than most around you. Oddly enough, this can also lead to a seeming lack of attention to detail. Don’t ignore the details.  Another way to describe your view of life is that you’re frequently in touch with “the force.” The energy of the world can seem like a pond with a mostly smooth surface. Watch the surface for ripples; many of them are caused by opportunities coming within reach.  You have a stable core, but the exterior can keep your friends and family guessing. You’ll more than likely have several careers during your lifetime, or you’ll find a way to keep it different and refreshing while you’re doing it. If you owned a restaurant, the menu would probably change monthly, even daily.  Make your vacations into mini-adventures or learning expeditions. Take a workshop on something you’ve always wanted to learn and immerse yourself in it. Or, visit a place you’ve always been curious about and do the same. 

Simply put all of the ingredients in a bottle and seal it! You can do any visualization and meditation that you want or need, but this is a very simple, easy protection charm. I prefer not to make it too involved and just let the ingredients speak for themselves. This is a pretty common set of things associated with sea craft and protection.

Used to see that which is hidden – aiding in the perception of the Unseen: be it spirits, deities, omens, etc. It might also be employed to find lost or hidden objects, and expose secret truths people are hiding. In addition, it can also be used to reverse the Serpent’s Lock if the key is added.

Need tiny little bottles for spell jars that are discrete enough for a pocket or purse? I HAVE THE ULTIMATE SOLUTION!!! Go to the dollar tree. Go to the CRAFT section. FIND THE GLITTER IN BOTTLES. BOOM. Your prayers are answered!!! Empty out the glitter into tiny or regular sized ziplock bags or throw it away (I suggest saving it). Then bam zam boogy you’ve got 5 tiny jars for spells. OR they have another size that’s a little bigger and come in a set of 3. ^~^ STAY WITCHY AND GET THEM BARGINS LADIES AND GENTS.

How to tell the difference between heat treated and natural Citrine. Left column: Natural Citrine and Right column: Fake Citrine, Heat treated or baked Amethyst Natural Citrine is pretty dull and smoky with a slight honey color to them, quite like Smoky Quartz but with a slightly more golden tone to it.  Natural Citrine will also often have smaller points attached to the larger one and usually but not always have hematite around the base where it was once attached onto it’s matrix. Baked Amethyst will often be bright orange to almost a burned dark orange. You will either find this ‘Citrine’ to appear broken as before it was baked it was apart of a larger cluster of Amethyst. And most Citrine geodes are just baked Amethyst geodes. The very last photo on the right column is of the same Geode Cathedral, only one side had gone through the heat treatment. The heat it takes to turn the color of the Amethyst varies upon how light or dark you want it to end up. (I beg you guys to PLEASE don’t go shoving your Amethyst points/clusters into your ovens. Don’t do it. Don’t even think about it.) It takes about  900°F (482°C) to change the Amethyst to Citrine, and it takes an even hotter 1022-1040°F (550-560°C) to make the Amethyst turn the dark yellow or golden brown-ish red of most Citrine Geodes that you see. (Once again. Don’t shove your crystals in your oven. Don’t do it.)
