Maybe no one should write a poem about an april day in Brooklyn.

The smell of Amphetamins in the corners we used to drink our morning coffee.

The park, still a quite place these tensed times, your hand sweet in mine.

Slowly rising temperature sitting under a tree,

the sound of you playing guitar

while I sing Lou Reed.

You talking about the poetry of the city,

still exited to kiss me.

While the sun vanished from the sky,

still rising lights,

all these modern clubs,

but you and me dancing in nostalgic bars until we were the last ones to be.

It was a good day.

We used to have a lot of those.

Men searching for bodies among the Aftermath of the Halifax Explosion, December 6th, 1917.

And he said:

Your children are not your children.

They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself.

They come through you but not from you,

And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.

You may give them your love but not your thoughts,

For they have their own thoughts.

You may house their bodies but not their souls,

For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.

You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.

For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.

You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.

The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far.

Let your bending in the archer’s hand be for gladness;

For even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable.

basil is an herb i hold close to my heart as a witch, as it’s told in folklore that witches of old used basil to fly on their brooms. its magickal properties include steadying the mind, bringing happiness, love, harmony, and wealth.

lemons, rich with the aura of the moon, are excellent fruits for healing and cleansing. 

to make basil lemonade, you will need:

☾ ½ cup rinsed basil leaves

☾ 3 tbsp. sugar

☾ 4 cups water

☾ ½ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice

in a bowl, combine the basil leaves and sugar. with a wooden spoon, crush the leaves with the sugar until crushed well. add water and lemon juice, and stir clockwise until the sugar is dissolved (about 2 minutes). add more sugar to taste.

Imbolc Spell

°˖✧ Welcome Spring and wake up from the Winter rest ✧˖°

Imbolc is a time for cleansing and planning, knowing that spring and more energy is on its way ❁*✲ﾟ*

Go on a stroll in nature, it could be a park or some woods near your house and gather some small rocks or maybe some birch from there, think about the things that you want to accomplish in this year and know that they will come true if your intention is true <3

Focus on that and with it in mind go to make this little spell.

Put the rocks inside the jar which are the stepping stones for your goals, one for every big goal you have, then add 3 little seeds inside it, representing all the growth you are gonna make.

Then write in a piece of paper your intention, or maybe use a sygil to represent it or both.

Lit your candles (2 or more) around your jar and in this moment try to bring all your energy to the positive things that will come with spring.

Close the jar and put it in your altar as an intention for the upcoming months.

*In this imbolc time you can also clean your altar and set it for new intentions and take away what does not serve you anymore either by burning or proper discard.

**If you can, plant another 3 seeds outside or in pots, whichever is best for that particular plant
