Since cottagecore in basically just goblinore zoomed out with a vintage insta filter, I’ve decided to make a little series on Goblincore stuff as well. Nothing in depth like cottagecore, but good enough to get the sense of the aesthetic.

So. You wanna live the goblincore high life. Unlucky for you, you live in a bedsit near the motorway and if you look out your window you’ll only see an overflowing skip and a lidl store. How do you make your living space goblincore?

1. find as many pillows as you can find, either in your living space or in charity shops/being chucked out by friends, etc... You got that? Good! Put them all on your bed. Do the same with any blankets and make it nice and nesty.

2. plants look really aesthetically pleasing as well as improving the air quality and giving you something to do without looking at a screen. Don’t have the money for plants? Always seem to just kill them? Get fakes, either plastic or knitted from your local cheap store, or just find the nearest jar, pebbles and moss to make a moss jar

3. find and keep little things. Rings? Done. Buttons? Done. Pinecones? Yes, yes, yes, pinecones are amazing. Keep them and cherish them by putting them on shelves or your windowsill

4. cute vintage posters to make boring white walls more interesting, or, even better, paint your walls a darkish shade of blue or green, which will instatly make your space feel nicer and more gobliny

5. be careful around candles, but if you have candles, use them! Dot them around the place! Even if it’s just a tea light!

6. try deorating your space yourself! I want to preface this by saying be vcareful, obviously, but if you’re artistically inclined, maybe paint some greenery or mushrooms on your door or cupboard!

.Plants. Indoor plants or fake plants look great in this aesthetic and also give a refreshing and natural touch to your room.

. Candles. The candles smell good, they are pretty and they decorate to perfection. You can find them in many kinds, with shapes and different smells and colors. I recommend vanilla, cinnamon... These candles give a wintry smell even when unlit.

.Light chains. You can place them on a mirror, on your curtains or on the bed and in addition to lighting up nicely, they look pretty.

.You can start an aesthetic wall. It's as easy as putting together a series of cottagecore photos and drawings taken from Pinterest, Tumblr or even your own, printing them them to the size you want (I recommend four for page) and paste them on your wall creating a kind of poster to which you can add more as you want.

.Checkered print. You can look for blankets for your bed with this pattern, also cover your desk chair in the same way.

.Handmade things. From a painting to stuffed animals. I added to my room a painting of a forest with mushrooms in gray and green tones, a chain of knitted pumpkins, pottery things and a dream catcher, all this made by myself.

. Books. The books are very cottagecore and I think that all or almost all of us who follow this aesthetic are fans of reading. So show your books.They look great.

. Tapestries. You can find fabric tapestries on Amazon or any online store, it is easy to find them with themes like tarot, anatomy or botany and all of these would look great in your cottagecore room.

.Lots of cushions. You can put them on your bed or on the floor on a modp rug that your room looks cozy and comfortable.

.The colors of the cottagecore are usually: Green, brown, orange, gray and the tones that oscillate between these, so do not hesitate to add things of these colors.

.You can add other things you like. For example: I have a Star Wars poster that is completely unrelated to cottagecore, but this doesn't have to stop you from adding things you like.

. Natural things. From stones to jars with sand or dried flowers. There are gemstones that you can buy, but you can also add pretty stones or minerals that you find.

Druidism, Neo-Druidism, or Druidic tradition is a modern philosophical and spiritual doctrine or religion that promotes a lifestyle in harmony with the world and whose fundamental principle is the re

The number three is very important to the Druids since the number three represents each part of nature: the sky, the earth and the sea.

Druids meditate at least once a day, focusing on the sounds around them and thus achieving a better connection with the environment. Meditation in turn helps improve concentration and it reduces stress.

In Druidism, plants have a very important role, they can help us heal and in turn indicate environmental changes and future events in order to their state

The chakras help keep energy flowing in us, so hugging trees or carrying mineral stones helps us keep the chakras open and receptive.

We can learn to use the Tarot, since it is directly related to the constellations and serves as an oracle. You can find tarots in many places and practically all of them bring a starter book. As you get used to the Tarot, it will be easier for you to handle it and you will be more familiar with its cards and meanings.

On the other hand, there are the divination bones, stones or dices, made up of runes and numbers that will indicate future changes and events to come.

Reading the coffee or tea grounds is yet another thing to learn. It is usually done with black tea in a white cup and dish, adding two tablespoons of coffee and letting whoever wants to know his future drink. With some tea still in the cup, the reader will stir the content three times and then place it on the plate, tapping the cup three times. At the bottom of the cup we will find the answer. Being close if it is close to the walls of the cup and far if it is kept in the center. Its shape will tell us the meaning that will never be too concrete but concrete enough to guide us. You can find the meanings on many internet pages until you are familiar with them.

You need to know that druids are not carriers of energy like a fortune teller or a medium, we could say that energy flows through druids like water flows through a river.

Medicinal and aromatic herbs play an important role. They can be used as natural remedies or burned as a tool to bring calm and concentration during meditation, everyday tasks, or just for pleasure.

You can predict future events by natural changes such as rain or the entry of the wind. Although this is one of the most difficult parts of Druidism.
