🌙 Aries Moons have bold and unique methods to comforting themselves and relieving their intense emotions. Most of them resort to heavy music or intense/energetic hobbies to help deal with their rage, sadness, and restlessness. Some even give themselves drastic makeovers when met with deeper emotions. If their feelings are not dealt with, they will lash out on either themselves or others.

🌙 Taurus Moons may not be the best at expressing their emotions but they are perfect with keeping eye contact and making sure they show how they feel through body language.. And through their bustling humor. They rely more on what they can physical feel rather than what cannot be acknowledged through their senses. They are creatures of comfort and express how they feel through sensuality.

🌙 Gemini Moons process emotions through intellect, thinking, and communication. They are extremely moody and restless, always searching for answers through the internet, through past experiences, or through other people. They will google the symptoms of their emotions as a distraction or as a means to understand what they are going through. They will also gladly explain their feelings but usually, they add a tinge of humor or sarcasm to make themselves feel like they are still in control of the situation and are not coming across as weak.

🌙 Cancer Moons are only comfortable when their needs and their loved ones’ needs are met. They will go to extreme lengths to provide security, stability, and affection for the people they care about, often smothering their loved ones in the process without realizing it. Essentially, they care too much and they will see a fault in themselves if one of their loved ones are feeling down.

🌙 Leo Moons have a hard time expressing sympathy in a conventional way. When someone comes to them with an emotional issue, they think the best way to handle it is to distract the person from their feelings through creative projects, parties, or by bringing up things they need acknowledgement for themselves. They can seem vain because of this, but for them, this how they show love and generosity.

🌙 Virgo Moons find comfort in productivity, organization, and stability. How they view such traits depends on them. Some Virgo Moons are organized in their chaos and their messy environments, whereas others are so focused on perfectionism that they keep everything spotless. Either way, they know where everything is and how everything operates. When something is wrong, they will express the opposite of what they view as organized. 

🌙 Libra Moons are very emotional and people-oriented. Because of their compassion and consideration for others. But what people seem to dismiss is that they are still air influenced, meaning they process feelings through their intellect and logic. They focus more on the feelings of others than their own feelings due to their need to provide harmony and balance, usually putting their emotional well being aside.

🌙 Scorpio Moons experience powerful feelings that are so “loud”, they try to control them and quiet them down by attempting to ignore them. For this reason, they seem emotionless and cold upon first impression. Spend awhile with them and you will see them begin to struggle to keep themselves stable. Inside them are raging waves and thunderstorms begging to flood their surroundings. They require constant reassurance and devotion to help them find balance.

🌙 Sagittarius Moons feel confined by their emotions and usually form various methods of escapism in the process. They are known for attempting to stimulate their mind or their body to cancel out their feelings. Their stimulation ranges from gaming to music to sports or to sex to distract themselves. When they are met with their feelings with no way to escape, they become irritable and reckless. In a means to escape, they say or do things they don’t really mean and later cool off and feel horrible about their impulsive nature.

🌙 Capricorn Moons have the most difficult time dealing with their emotions since the moon, ruling Cancer, opposes the sign. They try to dominate their own heart in an attempt to feel powerful and dominant. They often equate emotional expression with weakness and vulnerability and usually cannot understand someone who expresses their feelings to them. When feelings are involved, they go blank. Overtime, they will be met with various emotional breakdowns and karmic experiences to help them battle their need for control. They will eventually take authority over their own authority, so to speak.

🌙 Aquarius Moons have a chaotic relationship with their own feelings. Sometimes they take pride in their ability to process their emotions intellectually instead of actually “feeling” them. Other times, they become frustrated with their inability to express their emotions in a conventional way. They want to connect but feel as though it will strip away their freedom and individuality.

Pride month has me trying to find new blogs to follow who are actually active. I know there have to be more of y'all out there. Come out, come out, wherever you are!

Be upfront. If they make demands that are beyond your abilities, let ‘em know.

“Is this wine not fancy enough for your tastes?Is this statue not appealing enough? Help me to help you. Get me a better job/a raise/a big fat check and then I’ll make it better.”

If you want to pursue a spiritual path that could involve, say, buying a ridiculously expensive book from Ebay because the original was a limited edition that sold out in 2006…

“If this is the path I am to pursue, help me and I will reward you.”

As many may already know, Runes are a popular form of divination in order to communicate with the gods! However, aside from the popular Norse runes (elder futhark) that everyone might be aware of, did you know that there’s also a form of “rune casting divination” for the Greek alphabet?

First found inscribed in Olympos, a city in ancient Lycia, the Greek alphabet divination system uses the 24 letters from the Greek language and assigns them meanings, and based on what rune you pull, can give you advice from the gods on your current situation!

There were many Alphabet Oracles in ancient Greece, and the idea of reading the Greek alphabet for signs of the gods is one of the oldest divination methods that we know of.

How do I create my “runes?” 

To create your runes, any way of making them works! Historically, they would be painted onto pottery shards, but any way you can think of to have them accessible to throw/draw is completely okay. I have personally used black stones with gold paint on them.

You create one piece per letter, and in total there will be 24. Each letter will be listed and elaborated on later on in the post!

I’ve made my alphabet set. How do I use them?

In order to call upon the Theoi to get an answer, you can firstly call upon them in an invocation. After you have called upon them or asked your gods to give you an answer (sometimes no formal structure is needed) you can reach into a bag which contains the letters and pull out one at a time and read that, or you can grab them and throw them and look for patterns or groups of letters that are clumped together. 

THE LETTER MEANINGS

Α - Alpha - “The God Apollo [Apollon] says you will do everything successfully.” With his luck and good fortune, the current thing you are working on will turn out well and you will be the leader of your situation and have good transactions with others.

Β - Beta - “With the help of Tyche, you will have an assistant [Boêthos], who is the Pythian Apollon.” You might be at a time in your life where you’re struggling, but this divine-coded letter tells you that the gods that you worship are going to help you soon, so the signs you get might be more prophetic in nature. 

Γ - Gamma - “Gaia [Gê] will give you the ripe fruit of your labors.” It is time for you to take a break and admire the hard work you have put in. Gaia will reward you, and you will have abundance in happiness, emotional fulfillment, food, or all of the above. 

Δ - Delta - “In customs inopportune strength [Dunamis] is weak.” Timing is everything. Wait for the right time to act, and do not act to hastily. Wait for your time, but at the same time, use your strength for good to make a change in your situation.

Ε - Epsilon - “You desire [Eraô] to see the offspring of righteous marriages.” You need to surround yourself with good friendships, romances, allies, or relationships in general in order to get the most out of it. Surround yourself with positive people or situations to bring yourself up in a righteous way.

Ζ - Zeta - “Flee the very great storm [Zalê], lest you be hindered in some way.” If you’re already struggling, know when to pick your battles. Sometimes flight is better than fight, and only you know your own limitations. 

Η - Eta - “Bright Helios [Hêlios], who watches everything, watches you.” Helios knows that in the past you feel like you have been wronged. As the enforcer of oaths and promises, if you are honest with yourself and the situation the truth will come out and you will be aided.

Θ - Theta - “You have the helping Gods [Theoi] of this path.” If you are taking a plan of action do not worry! The Gods are guiding your way and you are in good hands. 

Ι - Iota - “There is sweat [’idrôs]; it excels more than everything.” Within your situation, there is going to be a lot of work. The gods recommend you buckle down and work as hard as you can, and it will not be easy. But it will be worth it.

Κ - Kappa - “To fight with the waves [Kuma] is difficult; endure, friend.” Now is not the time. You should wait until the vicious waves die down, and then take action.

Λ - Lambda - ““The one passing on the left [Laios] bodes well for everything.” Something that may seem really bad currently or in the future is actually going to turn out to be a blessing in disguise. Pay attention to your intuition!

Μ - Mu - “It is necessary to labor [Mokhtheô], but the change will be admirable.” You might feel distressed right now and that nothing is going right. But keep working to change either your situation or yourself, and the results will be in your favour.

Ν - Nu - ““The strife-bearing [Neikêphoros] gift fulfils the oracle.” Something will be given to you and enter your life. While it might not be obvious at first, this is the first domino in a line of changes that will happen in your life and make prophecy come true. 

Ξ - Xi - “There is no fruit to take from a withered [Xêros] shoot.” Being bitter and angry is not the way to go about things. Don’t keep trying to pull water out of a well that is empty, and know when to let go. 

Ο - Omicron - “There are no [Ou] crops to be reaped that were not sown.” In order to get things out of the situation, you have to plan ahead. What goes around comes around. 

Π - Pi - “Completing many [Polus] contests, you will seize the crown.” After many trials, you will achieve your goal. Persistence will give you your rewards, and do not be afraid to use your talents. 

Ρ - Rho - “You will go on more easily [Rhaion] if you wait a short time.” You should act, and quickly. Now is the best time and waiting longer is not a good idea. The stars are aligned and while it not be easy, there is no better time than the present. 

Σ - Sigma - “Phoibos Apollon speaks plainly [Saphôs], ‘Stay, friend.’” The gods want to inform you to wait for more information before you make any decisions. In this time, relax, and let the signs come to you.

Τ - Tau - “You will have a parting from the [Tôn] companions now around you.” Soon, people in your life might not stay the way they are. Friends might leave or enemies might leave. You might grow apart or distance or travel might force you away. Be wary of this, and act accordingly. 

Υ - Upsilon - “The affair holds a noble undertaking [Yposkhesis].” The task at hand is certainly a grand one, but with confidence, you, the hero of your own story, can pull through. You must acknowledge your strength, but also acknowledge the size of the task. 

Φ - Phi - “Having done something carelessly [Phaulos], you will thereafter blame the Gods.” Something is going wrong, and you may be trying to blame other things than the cause of the problem. Don’t resort to pointing fingers. The Gods will help you if you do not take out your anger on them or others needlessly. 

Χ - Khi - “Succeeding, friend, you will fulfill a golden [Khruseos] oracle.” Luck is on your side, and by mere chance, things might fall into place. The answer is positive, and you might be pleasantly surprised at all the riches that the world gives you in addition to your solution.

Ψ - Psi - “You have this righteous judgment [Psêphos] from the Gods.” Truth will be brought forwards, so be careful in your actions. The Gods are watching, and they will be fair, honest, and unforgiving to those who deserve it. This includes those who might be harming you, as well.

Ω - Omega - “You will have a difficult [Ômos] harvest season, not a useful one.” The times will be rough, and you will not get what you wish for at the end. You also might be forced to make tough decisions that you are not ready to make.

♥️Simple Grounding and Centering Yoga Poses/ Routine. ♥️

Tree pose- Start by standing at the bottom of your yoga mat. Keep your feet about hip width apart and do your best to align your spine/head/knees. Imagine there are rods running from your shoulders down into your feet. Slowly inhale and raise your arms up above your head, you can lock your finger together or just press together your palms.

Toe touch- From Tree pose, exhale and reach down towards your toes. Don’t focus on trying to get as far down as you can, focus on keeping your back straight and aligned, flexibility is not priority.

Push up position- From this pose, inhale and walk your arms forward until you are in a push up position. If you feel inclined, you can lower your elbows to the ground and hold a plank pose.

Upward Dog pose- From whatever position you hold now, exhale and bring your hips to the ground then straighten your arms. Your toes should be flat behind you and your back should arch up.

REPEAT BACKWARDS

while you do this, focus most on breathing and aligning your body

if you work with or have done research on the Elder Fuþark runes, you may have noticed that there are lots of variations on the names. & i mean LOTS, e.g.:

there are a couple of reasons for this:

HOWEVER, most actual runic inscriptions in the Elder Fuþark are actually in Proto-Norse, the intermediate stage between Proto-Indo-European and Old Norse. A lot of the discrepancies between the attested names & their names in other Germanic languages (i.e. Gothic and Old English) is due to this fact (Orðstírr has a good intro to Proto-Norse sounds especially re: runes)

modern English is missing many of the sounds and letters that existed in early Germanic languages, so variant spellings are different ways of rendering them in our limited 26-letter alphabet

many sources on runes come from magickal writings from many decades ago, and because language science is constantly evolving, so has our reconstruction of Proto-Germanic. thus, many of the names are based on outdated reconstructions.

most magickal writings on runes are not written by historical linguists who study ancient Germanic languages

luckily i regularly study & use Proto-Germanic, & based on our most recent & accurate reconstructions, the names for the Elder Fuþark would have probably taken the following forms (text in /slashes/ is IPA phonemic transcription; where names are different, this is due to differring names in the different attested langauges, or variation within Proto-Germanic dialects):

Reblog this post if you welcome witches at all stages of their journey. 

Baby witches are welcome to ask questions, reblog, or private message. I don’t care how long you’ve been practicing.

An “empty house” is a house where no planets or luminaries are present. It can indicate a part of your life that isn’t as celebrated as other areas of life. Interpreting empty houses is always best done when looking at one’s entire chart. For example, an empty 9th house could indicate someone who may feeling disconnected from their spirituality, but extremely strong Sagittarius or Jupiter influence in their chart could change this interpretation. Everyone has at least a few empty houses, so they won’t manifest in a negative fashion for everyone.

In general, I prefer to interpret empty houses as the following:

If you mock my posts with shit like this:

“yes a jar of glitter will absolutely bend the laws of nature on a huge scale, i don’t see anything wrong with this theory uwu”

I will call your ass out. And yes this was an actual comment made on my Bring Me Snow Spell Jar

How dare you mock someone like that. How dare you insult someone and make fun of their beliefs in a spell. How fucking dare you do that on my post.

Okay so it may not get me results, but for fucks sake it can also just simply represent snow for places that don’t ever get it. But clearly you didn’t even read the post to save your life. Because I stated that as well.

If you are not going to leave something constructive on a post, especially mine, get the fuck off of it. Move on with your life. Why waste the time being rude and hurtful to others? What if I was a baby witch? You would have ruined any chances of me even trying to continue growing in my craft from one bad interaction.

The spell was meant to be minimal. I don’t like complicated spells because not everyone can afford to have 40+ ingredients in their spell nor may they have access. The spell was meant for closet witches as well so if their families asked it was easy to say it is a DIY snow globe.

Here’s Some Tips:

1. Stop making fun of people and their craft. It’s how you lose people in the craft.

2. Stop with the whole “Real Witchcraft” shit. It’s not cute. It affects people greatly.

3. GIVE SOME FUCKING CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM INSTEAD! It’s not fucking hard to tell someone “Hey this may help the spell more”

4. Stop shutting people down. Again, not cute, not funny

5. Stop invalidating other people’s crafts and spells. Not Cute. Not Funny, And fucking hurtful especially for new witches.

6. Call out witches who are doing this shit.

7. Mind your own craft and your own life. So a spell seems stupid? Cool move the fuck on. Don’t comment. Move on.
