My Favorite Poison
my favorite poison
With a stretch and groan, Draven looked at the clock next to the bed, it was five o'clock in the morning. He could hear his wife singing in Italian in the kitchen. Oh, how he loved the sound of that. His parents hated that he had married Giana but Draven had fallen in love with her the moment he laid eyes on her. Pushing himself up from the bed he made his way into the kitchen where she was cooking breakfast. His arm snaked around her waist from behind as he moved the hair from her neck with his free hand. Nuzzling his face against the flesh there as he breathed her in, "Dame un Bacio." He whispered into her ear as he turned her in his arms. Gia wrapped her arms loosely around his neck as she placed kisses all over his face before landing on his lips. "Dammene nulla." Her smile lit up the room, he loved when she spoke to him in Italian. It was one of the only reasons his parents had even agreed to their wedding in the first place. She was an Italian girl, even spoke the language. "You are my favorite poison." He grinned at her as he kissed her once more pulling her closer against him. "I've missed you so much." His words began to echo in his own ears as the vision of his late wife began to fade. Her body vanishing in his arms, sending him to bolt upright in his own bed covered in sweat. "GIA!" He screamed out to the empty house, the only sounds were the sounds of the city that could be heard just outside the windows of his home in Queens. The small apartment they shared in Manhattan long gone, traded in for the spacious home here in Queens. He had thought he had left her memory in Manhattan as well. The sting of tears could be felt in his eyes as he laid back against the pillows on his bed, those dreams were always the worst. He could feel her in his arms, taste her lips against his own, and smell her perfume in the air. The smell of her perfume hung in his nose. Looking over at the clock on the bedside table, his eyes blurry with tears. Five o'clock in the morning, it was the same time that she had always woken him up when she was alive. Draven picked up his phone looking at it as he realized what day it was. Five years ago to the day he had lost the love of his life. Five years ago today he had almost lost everything. He knew what he needed to do today. Today he would need to go visit her grave, she was after all still his wife. Pushing himself up from the bed he saw Hades watching him intently. "Come on big guy we are heading to the graveyard today."

Bird Symbolism
So I was looking out my window and saw two birds and the idea of making a list of symbolism associated with types of birds came to mind. My mom always taught me if you see an animal -especially if they are doing something out of the ordinary- you should take it as an omen. So here’s a list of some basic birds, some of the associations are personal but I hope you like it!
Blue Jay-the truth will be revealed, high energy, playfulness, clarity and communication.
Cardinal-hope, joy, good health, some associate them with angels or deceased love ones, passion and warmth.
Crow-often associated with magic and witches, transformation, power, intelligence and mystery.
Duck-friendships, new friends, happiness, good fortune and protect against negative energies “water off a ducks back” :)
Dove-peace, harmony, joy, love, might be telling you to break away from a toxic situation, think positive, often associated with Aphrodite or Jesus or Angels
Eagle-power, leadership, freedom, adventure, breaking free.
Hawk- common as spirit guides, courage, protection, and awareness.
Hummingbird- I adore hummingbirds and often associate them with faeries. Creativity, joy, love and beauty. Can be a sign that you are moving too fast in life and need to take a break.
Magpie-Magpies represent duality because seeing them can be really good or really bad, I know it’s confusing :/ Seeing a magpie can be a good luck omen and new oppurtunities will appear. They also represent illusion and trickery, maybe someone is being a two-faced friend to you.
Owl- wisdom, associated with the goddess Athena, intuition, spiritual exploration, change, observation and intelligence.
Raven- associated with the nordic god Odin, mystery, magic, fae magic, knowledge, mischieve, and can be seen as a death omen (but can also mean change)
Robin- luck, prosperity, good things will happen, joy and your hard work will soon be rewarded.
Sparrow- associated with Aphrodite, new love and relationships, fertility, team work, time of productivity and stop procrastinating.
Stork-long life, prosperity, fertility, new life, wisdom, take time to relax, motherhood and luck.
Swan- also associated with Aphrodite and Apollo, gracefulness, beauty, music, poetry, creativity, loyalty, and long lasting relationships.
Vulture-death, cleaning up other people’s messes, renewal, patient, use your resources and be perceptive.
Woodpecker- hard work, take advantage of new oppurtunities, attention, progress and determination.
Tip! If you are repeatedly seeing a certain animal or have a strong liking to an animal it could be a way a spirit guide is trying to get your attention (or that animal is just really common in your area lol )

Plants you can grow yourself/already have around you. Check your spice cabinet
And list things to use those for! So that would be herb bundles to burn, salves, recipes, and so on.
Other things you can use in magic that you already have
This would be things like sea shells, snail shells, grass, dirt, candles. Get creative!
