I'll do another post on Arin Murphy-Hiscock's books I think; I own a few of hers now, and they're all so warm and approachable. If you don't pick up any of her other books, pick up this one - especially if you're anything like me and you tend to get sucked in to a work-home-eat (sometimes)-sleep-repeat cycle where your brain is constantly *on*. Lots of great tips in here for taking a step back, gathering up all the threads of yourself you've let unravel, and getting yourself back to feeling calmer, more centred, more in control, and less of a hot mess.

Faith is asking for the stars to align, for just the right people to be in just the right place at just the right time. That's all well and good, but if you don't take that step to be there too, then you won't get to it. You still have your own free will, after all, and if you choose to sit by and miss an opportunity you wanted so bad, that's on you.

Although the whole website is awesome, I’m talking specifically about its resources section. This page has everything from herb correspondences to which days of the week to cast spells on. I believe it’s definitely worth a look-see, I hope this helps someone like it helped me!
