The July moon is a time for divination and meditation magic. 

Waxing Gibbous: What do you need to release?

If anyone is interested I’ll be doing readings with this spread for the rest of the day, just send an ask. Otherwise feel free to use this spread on your own, I’d love to see what everyone else draws.

1. For a situation that is not going your way

Find the Wheel of Fortune in your deck, the two cards on either side are the solutions to your problem

2. To bring money to you

Pull out the 1st, 5th, 10th, 20th and 50th card in your deck. These cards will tell you how to bring amounts of money your way.

3. To find the root of a romantic conflict

Find The Lovers. The cards on either side are conflicts surrounding the relationship.

4. To Leave behind sadness

Find The Moon and The Sun. The cards in between them are the order of steps you must take to move forward.

5. To look into your near future

The Emperor and Ace of Cups

Upcycling Jars, Bottles, and Other Glass Containers.

I cook ALOT. I’m quite proud of my little collection of herbs, spices, teas, legumes, and other dried edibles. Not so much for the actual contents, but for the fact that 90% of the glass containers were upcycled. I saved my kimchi jars, pasta sauce jars, pickle jars, jam jars, booze jars - errrr, whatever I bum off the bartender, and etc. I especially love using the Canada Dry tonic water bottles for my spices; the wine corks I save fits the perfectly as a stopper! The rest of my containers are usually rescued from flea markets and thrift shops. 

Ok so somebody asked for some tips on starting their grimoire so here’s this long ass post for anyone who needs it.

Organizing a Grimoire

🌹~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~🌹

🍁This isn’t needed, if you prefer the write as you go method that’s fine.

🍁For those of us who prefer to have it organized a table of contents is a must.

🍁Try and plan what your going to write down when. If it helps write down in a notebook or in your book of shadows every idea you can think of putting in your grimoire and number them.

🍁It’s ok if it’s not ‘perfect’ chances are this is your first grimoire so not only is ok its natural to make a few mistakes here and there

🍁Write in pencil if you don’t like crossing out mistakes or using tipex
