Stories from the Subconscious

A lil kitchen witchery this morning. Cooking w/ intention has become one of my go-to activities in my practice, of late. Selecting especially useful & potent spices to correspond w/ my intention is invaluable. The anti-inflammatory/antioxidant nature of turmeric makes it great for our internal health as well as keeping that quarantine depression at bay. Garlic & onion powders provide blessings & protection against evil. Tofu scramble is a great easy & delicious meal to hit the spot & to offer so much versatility in using spices and/or veggies in kitchen craft. Happy casting. - Rev. B

This Full Moon in Pisces spread comes from the amazing @groundedbythemoon. The deck is Tarobot by @michael_murdock_art. ~ 1. What needs to be released for better flow? -The Lovers- • Focus on the self & personal needs. I’m a better partner when I’m not needy. Codependency is a bad look. 2. How can I better connect w/ my intuition? -4 Cups- • Contemplate & meditate intently on emotional needs & investments. Be specific. Spend real time w/ each feeling. 3. Self-care & reflection that’s been lacking. -Justice- • Be more fair to myself. Find balance between accountability & indulgence. Don’t get cocky; Don’t beat myself up. 4. Needed action to help progress my dreams. -Coins King- • Count my blessings. Be fiscally responsible. Don’t overreact to or overthink my position. What’s spent is spent. What I’ve got, I’ve asked for. 5. Benefit of harmonizing these energies/issues: -4 Swords- • Peace of mind. Clarity of thought. Ease of communication. Knowing my self & sitting more contently w/ my own mind. ~ Rev. B https://www.instagram.com/p/CEpAQu9HBdE/?igshid=s1sq7eitey4j

Sharing a little coffee & contemplation this morning. It’s okay to feel alone, despite relative abundance in your life. You are not a quantity of “stuff.” You are the quality of your person. You need not be defined by your relationships to things. You’re not a means. You are your own ends. Seek respite & comfort first from your self, for yourself. The rest comes easier that way. - Rev.

Cosmic C*nt Deck by @marblemoonstudio ~ Energy for August 27, 2020: Resources, including experiences, are to be shared, not hoarded (or: The Redistribute The Wealth Spread). ~ Also included: Candle meditation for those who find it useful. White candle dressed in Bergamot Oil & Anise Seed. Ringing courtesy of our cat, Beltane, playing in the background. I found it soothing. Perhaps you will, too. - Rev.

Some photos of our new outdoor spaces. The fae circle came w/ the place. Any advice on how to best keep the energy & relationships positive would be most welcome. We know the rosemary & the tomatoes (chamomile not pictured because it doesn’t look so good atm), but also any help identifying the plants would be appreciated, as well. https://www.instagram.com/p/CEXUN5nns7c/?igshid=9g9z9frefay7

Felt called to do a Virgo Season spread. Grabbed my trusty @rootlocktarot Book of Spreads & cracked it open, after too long away from speaking w/ spirits. I needed this. Perhaps you did, as well. 🙏🏽🖤🍕 1. The Plate - 6 of Swords: Transition is a vital aspect of Virgo season, what w/ seasonal changes starting to take hold. They’re slow, methodical, & subtle for now. Same goes for life changes as we shift into Virgo Season. Little daily habits, rituals, & acts slowly shift in our everyday lives. Gentle guidance helps us cross into our new spaces safely, peacefully. 2. The Notepad - 5 of Wands: Practice makes...practice. You’ll may never be a master, but certainly you won’t get anywhere without continual & concerted effort. It will be difficult. That is, honestly, kind of the point. Learn from each interaction. Be better. Find the rhythm to your motions & follow through. 3. The Pen - 10 of Coins: Community - particularly elders (ancestors, for sure) - are paramount to learning. Repeat constructive patterns; dismantle & reprogram bad ones. There is value in every one/thing. Find it. Use it. 4. The Check - King of Coins: Taurus. The bull. A grounded, focused, influential figure is a good solid learning tool. Maybe they’re set in their ways, & that rigidity feels constricting. But, we have our reasons for habit & ritual. What are they? Discern yours from engaging with this figure. 5. The Tip - Knight of Coins: Virgo. Full circle. A rising tide floats all boats. Ultimately, this lesson reverberates outward from the self. The better you are, the better you will guide others in their self-discoveries. Forward is the only way, but don’t rush it, or you’ll surely miss something. The elephant, like the stream, moves at its own steady, smooth pace. - Rev. B https://www.instagram.com/p/CEWWO_xn3lZ/?igshid=1jowgy9x6jx1h
