Things to do with Eggs

Dye hardboiled eggs and give them as offerings to deities associated with spring and fertility. You can also give them to couples who are attempting to conceive. 

Bury an egg in your garden to feed your soil and show respect for nature.

Wash and crush egg shells and turn them into powder. Use this powder to line doorways or cast circles. You can also draw sigils on the ground in eggshell poweder.

Use eggs as substitutes for nuts and seeds in growth or fertility spells.

Decorate your altar with eggs to encourage life and growth in your home. 

Place a cleaned eggshell above your door (on the frame or on the roof) to protect your home from hexes. 

Instead of stones, you can also use eggs for warding. Place or bury eggs on the four corners of your home. If you are in an apartment, consider placing washed eggshells. 

Wash your hair with raw egg to return moisture to it. Be sure to do so in cold water. 

Pour wax into eggshells and add a wick. You now have an eggshell candle!

Personal Experience

i am just explaining what they represent as a situation or outcome and without the influence of other cards

the fool: the answer is unknown

magician: positively, you already have you what you need. negatively, you’re being tricked/need to work something out asap

the high priestess: you’re not allowed to know

the empress: gives a feeling of things being okay but also reminds you that creativity can come painfully from the heart

the emperor: you’re dealing with a brick wall (a person or otherwise) and you’re just going to have to work out how to work around it or with it and create your own structure

the heirophant: living simply and appreciating small things. having faith day to day

the lovers: heart vs head (it’s up to you)

the chariot: you have to take the reigns now whether you like it or not but trusting your gut should help you know where to go

strength: real strength is quiet. suggests a time of perseverance and being the bigger person

the hermit: you need to work out the answer on your own. self reflect (you have possibly become out of touch with yourself) and and spend time alone. don’t ask for someone else’s opinion on the matter if you were thinking of doing so (you’re more easily led in the wrong direction at this time)

the wheel of fortune: whatever is happening has nothing to do with you and is out of your control. it’s not karma or fate or destiny it just is. if it’s good you are not being rewarded and if it’s bad you are not being punished it is just simply happening

justice: the outcome will be whatever you deserve (it will be fair). you will reap what you’ve sown

the hanged man: whatever it is, you’re looking at it wrong

death: endings

temperance: right time, right place. patience is needed because you can’t force it. you need to learn how to be calm if there is chaos around you because you are the only thing you can control

the devil: you’ve let something (or someone) enter or take over your life and it’s ruining you and probably strongly rooted itself in your identity and you must let it go. you’ve committed too much of your time to something that only consumes. (side note: rarely positive or about something light so i would take this warning seriously)

the tower: rock bottom. your foundation has crumbled and you have fallen and there’s nothing you can do about it. usually the foundation wasn’t stable to begin with. (to explain further, in serious cases i would say the querent definitely knew they were doing something wrong, like committing a heinous crime and getting caught but we all have tower moments regardless and can mean losing a job or the ending of a long term relationship for example)

the star: you don’t know the answer yet but you can trust that it’s for the best and you will be okay. this is your no. 1 sign that everything is fine and you are worrying too much

the moon: difficult/heavy emotional time

the sun: easy, light hearted time. if negative, which it is rarely, it means you are willfully blinding yourself and ignoring a problem

judgement: positively, a desperate, genuine prayer is answered. it can also mean that you are being asked to do something that you don’t want to because it’s scary but you know you need to do it.

Prosperity and abundance magic are my second favorite types of magic to perform! I love to manifest loadsa-loadsa-loadsa, money money money. 💸

And if you don’t know my number one favorite type of magic to do, then, you’re either very new to this blog, or this post popped up in the search bar.

But, I think we could all use prosperity right now! 

So, I’m going to talk to you guys about money altars.

Putting together an altar for a specific purpose is a very effective way to get your intent put out, and your result manifesting. It allows you to gather a ton of different ingredients and objects associated with your intent into ONE place, so that whenever you’re ready to work a little magic, it’s all right there.

MONEY alters, of course, are supposed to draw in a cash flow and get your bank account looking better. Now, heads up: unless you are following up with efforts to find and do work, or file the paperwork for whatever program is helping you to get the money going, your abundance magic isn’t going to kick in! You have to follow through with the “boring part” to get the magic working, or else doing all of this is counter-productive. So that means submitting job applications, making calls, working on your business, etc.

Here are some things to put on a money altar

Crystals and gems for prosperity and manifestation:

Pyrite

Citrine

Jade

Green Aventurine

Emerald

Ruby

Amazonite

Malachite

Clear Quartz

Lapis Lazuli

Tektite

Herbs and incense for financial abundance:

Allspice

Cinnamon

Clove

Nutmeg

Thyme

Ginger

Basil

Star Anise

Calendula

Dill

Rosemary

Offerings to the altar’s spirit, or any spirits that you call for help:

(If you have spirits or ancestors that are helping you with your money magic, it’s considered rude to not give them an offering. On my personal altar, I actually place some of the change that I get back after spending physical money, and put it there to help get my spirits to continue generating more money; it makes it work faster! Don’t remove the money once you place it there, or else you will lose money instead of gain it.)

Food

Fresh water

Alcohol

Cigarettes

Pictures of your spirit or ancestor 

Other objects that you and your spirit enjoy

Other tips for your money altar:

Make sure that you clear your altar of stagnant energy every now and again. You can do a smoke cleanse by burning any of those herbs up there, use sound to cleanse it, sprinkle salt, or even ask your spirit/deity to bless it.

Consider asking for the help of a god/goddess/spirit associated with prosperity, such as Hecate, Pluto, Fortuna, Rosmerta, Ganesha or Mammon.

It’s finally time to welcome one of my favorite seasons, spring! there’s a lot of debate about whether ostara is an actual Sabbat because the traditional wheel of the year only has seven Sabbats. ostara was essentially added to create balance and symmetry in the pagan year. whether or not you celebrate, there are still some awesome things you can do to invite some spring energy into your life!

☀️ clean out your room or arrange your altar space.

☀️ delete, block, clear, and repeat! if your holding on to any toxic friends rn, cut them tf out babes.

☀️do a spring tarot spread! (hint hint: I’ll be offering free readings today)

☀️light a candle, get some incense, and smudge/cleanse your space like crazy.

☀️take a nice bath or an extra long shower!

☀️release some emotions through journaling!

☀️wear some pastel colors or white to get you into the spirit.

☀️prepare a lovely meal for yourself! traditional ostara foods include eggs (or tofu for my fellow vegans haha), strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, anything creamy, pastries and desserts!

☀️make yourself feel beautiful! do whatever you need to do to feel your best. ostara is all about recognizing the feminine and regenerating love.

The Seed. a tarot spread for ostara.

1. The Soil.

Where have you grown? While it most certainly is the dawn of a new day, keep in mind your roots are proof that you have already come a long way. The soil is your past. What lesson can you learn from days gone by?

2. The Weed.

You wish to flourish and grow strong, but there is undoubtedly something that is stunting your progress. What are your obstacles, what’s holding you back?

3. The Seed.

Within your immediate future, which area of your life will you first see signs of growth? Which seed has taken hold?

4. The Sun.

The love and support of others is helpful. But the will to grow comes from within. Let the sun be a reminder of what you need to keep in mind in order to help yourself grow.

5. The Rain.

It’s fall y’all, and while for some that means pumpkin spice season, but for me it means apple season! This cake is great for a Mabon or Samhain feast, and isn’t too complicated to make. Let’s get to it!

I’ve missed all of you so much recently, and with so much going on in my life I’ve lost my way quite a bit. I want to spend more time with all of you, but my craft as well.
