ur room smells like the vanilla scented candle that casts soft shadows around your bedroom, sipping warm tea from your favourite mug, gentle rain kisses your window, this is a playlist 4 self care & a sleepy ambience

girls with rollers in their hair dancing around the bedroom to the newest beatles record being broadcasted on pirate radio, groovin’ anywhere and everywhere, a turtleneck sweater under a mini dress, classic hollywood cinema and go go boots

lost in the woods, you find yourself in the company of a charming young witch who takes you to her cottage; it smells of dried oranges and rosemary, dusty books stacked on every table, you collect mushrooms and acorns together and end up falling in love, a playlist for all my cottagecore hoes out there

a memory within a polaroid picture; days at the beach, picnic baskets filled with fruits and cheeses, long car rides listening to the same two cd’s, cuffed jeans and doc martins, brings back nostalgia for some of the best moments of being in school and having fun

let’s slow dance in the kitchen at dusk & get flour on our noses as we bake a cake together, breaking our embrace to flip the record when it skips, young love in the 1950’s kinda vibe

thrifting band tees and bell bottom jeans, records and posters stuck to your bedroom walls and ceiling, hanging out in your friends basement and going to every cool rock concert.. dig it, man

modern goblin home🌞🏠🌿🌎🐞

Spell to bring two people together❤️✨🌹

What you’ll need: ❄️

Bowl of water (for safety)

Rose oil

Red/pink rose petals

Violets (optional)

Two pink/red/white candles

Carving tool

Red/pink yarn, chord or string or whatever

Spell instructions:💫

Surround your bowl of water with the rose petals and violets

Take the two candles and carve a one person’s name into each of them (I made a sigil of them but that step is optional)

Annoint the candles with the (!properly diluted!) rose oil

Tie the yarn around the candles in an infinity shape . (Hint in picture) while doing so chant: “Two hearts that long for each other, afraid of what the other can offer. With this chord two hearts are bound, since between them live is found. For the good of all and harm to none, I said it, the spell is done”

Put the candles and yarn into a bowl and let them burn down

Bury the remains under a tree and wait

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

This spell will not “make” anyone fall in love with you. It only works if they’re are mutual feelings already present

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

I did this for two friends of mine. It worked within a month. They did break up since for personal reasons though.

>Drawing close to water fairies is first a matter of tuning into where they are likely to be. This is not hard; Any stretch of water that you find alluring is sure to be the habitat of fairies. They can be found on a deserted beach, where the waves curl onto the shore, or swimming out on the ride. They haunt lonely stretches of rivers and lakes, and linger by springs. Trust your intuition- if you feel they are there, they will be close by.

💧 Method 💧

Before you go looking for water sprites, sip a special tea made from kelp and organic green tea. If you do not like the taste, just drink a little, to harmonize your body with the fairy beings that you are seeking.

Attune yourself to Nature and to the waters by really being there. Spend time alone with the elements, looking with the eyes of a child, playing in the shallows,skipping stones, and running your hands through the ripples. Try not to let your mind wander into thoughts about your work or family concerns- be totally, consciously present in the moment.

If you can play an instrument, bring it to the water’s edge and play a tune, for water fairies are especially attracted to music. If you can sing, let your voice travel over the waves. It is important to strike the right note here- both literally and metaphorically. Be realistic about your talents; don’t spoil things by disharmony. On the other hand, if you know you are really good at music, don’t show off, because some fairies can be jealous.

Help aquatic animals, such as otters, and water birds, to please the fairies, or clean,clear, and tend a specific stretch of water and its plant life. If you are engrossed in watching the play of fish or frogs, you will be bringing just that kind of total attention to the here-and-now that is conducive to seeing fairies.

Look out around you for any signs that fairies are close by and consider them seriously. For instance, a curiously shaped stone or shell may be a fairy gift. Strange ripples in the water may be caused by a fairy presence. That movement you see from the corner of your eye is sure to be a fairy. Use your other senses too. What sounds are made by the rushing or lapping of the waters? Are they fairy voices? Linger on shores and banks, and sooner or later you will be blessed by fairy contact.

At one point in my life, I felt very stagnant. As such, I crafted this spell to help me move forward. It sat in my Book of Mirrors for a long time, until I recently rediscovered it. I’ve decided to share it with you all, in the hopes that maybe it will help someone else, as it once helped me.
