Lately, I’ve been having dreams of a more softer, gentle version of myself. I dreamt that I was adorned with fabrics of silk and cashmere, and surrounded by precious metals and gemstones like gold and copper, and pearls, diamonds and rubies. I was also in a place where the earth was abundant with vegetation and water was clear... I have no idea what this dream means and I hope that someone can explain this to me.

I just want to remind everyone how affordable buying food from indigenous tribes is. I live in a major city and I was able to purchase and ship (15) pounds of fish from back home to myself for cheaper than I could buy it from a grocery store here in the city. Yeah, shipping has its own environmental factors but I was able to support an indigenous owned business while also getting my groceries at a lesser cost. (Buying in bulk is always a good idea if you’re planning on having something shipped to you)

Some tribal owned grocers that ship:

Bow and Arrow (Ute Mountain)

Native Harvest (White Earth)

Red Lake Fishery (Red Lake)

Wozupi (Mdewakanton Dakota)

Ramona Farms (Gila River)

Tanka Bars (Oglala)

Indian Pueblo Store (Pueblos)

Twisted Cedar Wine (Cedar Paiutes)

Ute Bison (Ute)

Seka Hills Olive Oil and Vinegars (Yocha Dehe Wintun)

She Nah Nam Seafood (Nisqually)

Sakari Botanicals (Inupiaq)

Honor the Earth (?)

Nett Lake Wild Rice (Anishinaabe)

Passamaquoddy maple (Passamaquoddy)

BONUS: coffee :)

Yeego Coffee (Navajo)

Spirit Mountain Roasting (Yuma Quechan)

Birchbark Coffee (Anishinaabe)

Thunder Island Coffee (Shinnecock)

Abundance and wealth comes to me on a daily basis.

My skin is fresh and clear, and kissable.

My ears are adorned with diamonds, and hair is absolutely glamorous on me.

I receive a nice weekly allowance to spend on whatever I please.

I am gifted lovely bags, and treated out to delicious drinks and brunches with my loved ones.

I can afford designer no problem, and choose beautiful timeless pieces as the ones to last for me.

My purse is always filled with money, and my bank account flourishes from the amount of money both my loved ones give me, and my career of choice provides me.

I have all the best shoes; my toes are always painted, primmed, and looking stellar.

My hands have beautiful, astonishingly gorgeous rings on them. I get taken out to romantic candlelit dinners often, and am romanced the whole time.

My hair is gorgeous, long, and goes down past my shoulders in gorgeous, shiny, luscious chocolate curls.

And all my loved ones spoil me, treat me out to the finest things in life; and absolutely love to provide for me at any single point in time.

This is kinda fun...

Since the weather is getting frightful, I thought making some soup would be delightful. I’ll let you know how it comes out

Edit: the soup turned out great and tasted great too

In Louisiana, we have roadside markets where they sell fruit and vegetables, sometimes honey. In the metropolitan areas, we have corner stores but I barely go to them though.

Obsessed with how people in NYC think nowhere else has corner stores

🧜🏽‍♀️🌸🌺{𝓛𝓸𝓿𝓮 𝓑𝓪𝓽𝓱 𝓢𝓹𝓮𝓵𝓵 }🌺🌸🧜🏽‍♀️

Pink salt (or any kind of natural salt)

Pink, green (heart chakra), orange (sacral chakra) or red (love, root chakra) stones

Pink or red candle (optional)

Rose water or rose essential oil

Flowers (optional)

Body oil (for moisture and to feel sexy)

Bath bomb (optional)

Jasmine (sensuality)

Self love is the most important when it comes to feeling more confident or attract healthier relationships. When you speak negatively of yourself, you're attracting that kind of energy towards you. You have to stop thinking those negative thoughts because you manifest that negativity into your reality. You stop yourself when it comes to finding inner fulfillment and your desired love life when you do that. If people talk down on you don't listen to them! These people feed off of negative energy and all they want to see is you be unhappy because they're unhappy with themselves. Don't listen to these people, love your appearance, love your mind, and love your soul. If you're insecure, ask yourself: "What do others find so attractive about me?" "What do I get complimented on?" "What is it that others see about myself that I don't?" Think of the qualities that you like about yourself and work on to improve the qualities that you aren't as fond of. Admire your body ans your feautures. You are a treasure and should deserve to feel like royalty. Embrace yourself as a beautiful human being, there is no shame in your sexuality as well! Know that you are amazing and deserving of pleasure. Know that you can do fine by yourself and only accept the most amazing people into your life because you deserve the best. If you are wanting to manifest love, daydream about your desired romantic, think of what you want in a romantic partner, visualize your perfect date, wedding day, or first kiss. (𝐍𝐒𝐅𝐖/𝐓𝐖) If you're comfortable, you can use this as sex magic, and masturbate to become comfortable with your body. You can also use your orgasms to manifest your desires.

Repeat affirmations to yourself:

"𝓘 𝓪𝓶 𝓵𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓭."

"𝓘 𝓵𝓸𝓿𝓮 𝓶𝔂𝓼𝓮𝓵𝓯."

"𝓘 𝓱𝓪𝓿𝓮 𝓶𝓪𝓷𝓲𝓯𝓮𝓼𝓽𝓮𝓭 𝓱𝓪𝓹𝓹𝓲𝓷𝓮𝓼𝓼."

"𝓘 𝓪𝓽𝓽𝓻𝓪𝓬𝓽 𝓱𝓮𝓪𝓵𝓽𝓱𝔂, 𝓵𝓸𝓿𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓻𝓮𝓵𝓪𝓽𝓲𝓸𝓷𝓼𝓱𝓲𝓹𝓼."

"𝓘 𝓱𝓪𝓿𝓮 𝓶𝓪𝓷𝓲𝓯𝓮𝓼𝓽 𝓶𝔂 𝓭𝓮𝓼𝓲𝓻𝓮𝓭 𝓵𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓻."

Tell your partner you love them.

Make plans for a cute date.

Learn what you like and dislike sexually.

Have sex with people with good vibrations.

If you're in a new relationship tell them what's on your mind (wanting be more serious, etc).

If you want to get married one day tell your partner (only for long term relationships or ask them on the first date if they would ever want to get married one day) .

Break up with your partner if you're in a unhappy relationship.

Don't be with fuckboys/girls.

Set standards for yourself of what you want romantically.

Building a Magical Home

One of my favorite quotes about the magic of homemaking comes from Cory Hutcheson, host of the New World Witchery podcast. He says, “Home is a transformational act. It is the thing you do to turn a space into a space… that is full of ritual and significance and meaning. So there is sort of this ongoing relationship you have with the space that makes it a home.”

The act of creating a home, of making a space your own, is inherently magical. But if you want to make your space feel a little more witchy, here are some ideas to get you started.

Charms and Talismans

Making your own magical objects can be a powerful way to bring magic into your space. The best thing about making your own charms is that you can make them look however you want, so it’s easy to disguise them as ordinary household objects. You can make a charm for any intention by combining objects based on their magical correspondences.

I’ve talked about protective charms in previous posts, so I’m not gonna spend a lot of time on it here. The simplest protective charm is keeping a large piece of iron under your bed to keep away nightmares, evil spirits, and negative energy. You could also make your own protection charm, like a witch bottle.

You can create a “happy home” charm to bring peace, harmony, and happiness into your home. This charm could include herbs like basil, rosemary, lavender, peppermint, and/or bay leaves, as well as other items that you associate with peace and good fortune, like lucky coins, crystals, or black cat fur. Write your desires for a harmonious and happy home on a piece of paper, fold it up, and add it to the charm. You could store these items in a green bag, bury them in your backyard (in this case, make sure you’re only using biodegradable plant matter — leave out the coins and crystals), or place it inside a household object like a lamp or an end table.

If you suffer from insomnia or other sleep issues, try making a dream charm to help you sleep well and have sweet dreams. To make a simple dream charm, fill a blue or purple bag with lavender, chamomile, peppermint, and any other objects that you associate with peace, restfulness, and sleep. If you want to have lucid dreams or receive psychic messages in your dreams, include a bit of mugwort. Place the charm in your pillow or under your mattress. (I personally swear by this one, as it’s helped a lot with my insomnia.)

Charms are great for homemaking magic because you’re actually creating a magical object, which can then become a permanent fixture of the space.

Magical Decor

You can use magical items to decorate your home to bring certain qualities into that space.

Hanging or displaying a broom is said to bring good fortune, protection from evil, and good hospitality. Cauldrons are used to represent the Goddess, rebirth, and raw potential. Horseshoes hung above door frames bring safety and luck to all who cross under them, and keep unwanted guests away. If you can get them legally and ethically, animal bones, teeth, claws, and feathers can represent the spirit and energy of that animal. You can also put up images of spiritual and occult symbols — I have an image of the Sun tarot card hanging in my bedroom to promote positivity and growth.

If you need to be a little more subtle with your witchy decorations, working with the magic of color is a great way to do that. Gathering a lot of items of a single color in one room changes the energy of that room. Here’s a quick guide to give you some ideas:

Yellow is associated with divination, mental clarity, the element of air, success, communication, and inspiration.

Purple is associated with divine power, spiritual awareness, mystery, astral travel, magic, and authority.

Blue is associated with healing, psychic abilities, the element of water, peace, truth, and patience.

Red is associated with protection, the fire element, sex, power, vitality, and love.

Orange is associated with ambition, creativity, breaking through blockages, and career success.

Pink is associated with romantic love, friendship, self love, compassion, and emotional well-being.

Green is associated with nature, herbalism, the earth element, money, wealth, prosperity, and luck.

Brown is associated with grounding, animal magic, stability, and balance.

White is associated with purification, cleansing, the full moon, new beginnings, healing, and spiritual growth.

Black is associated with protection, truth, outer space, banishing, and transition.

Decorating your home with colors that are meaningful to you can create a powerful magical space. You may also have your own color associations (for example, yellow is a very “happy” color for me), so feel free to incorporate those into your decor as well!

Growing Magical Houseplants

Most witches feel a very deep connection to nature and draw power from the natural world, but we can’t all live in a cottage in the heart of the forest. Even if you live in a tiny apartment in the city, you can still bring nature into your space by keeping houseplants. Many popular houseplants have magical uses, and many popular magic herbs can be grown inside. Here are a few to get you started.

Aloe. This is one of my favorite plants. Aloe brings luck and protection, especially protection on an energetic/spiritual level. I like to keep aloe in my bedroom to protect me while I sleep, as well as to bring luck and inspiration while I’m working at my desk.

Basil. Basil is very popular in money spells, and will attract prosperity and luck to your home. However, it also has protective properties — both spiritual protection and protection from bugs, since basil is a natural insect repellent! Basil can also be used in love spells, and is just generally a good plant to have around for good vibes.

African Violet. This flowering plant attracts positive spiritual energy into your space. It has associations with the moon and the water element, and is very good for promoting spirituality and psychic power.

Rosemary. Rosemary is one of those herbs that every witch should have on hand. It’s so darn versatile, it can be used as a substitute for virtually any other herb, and can be used for almost any intention. Some of the most common magical associations for rosemary include: cleansing, purification, protection, healing, mental activity, and enhancing memory. According to author Deborah J. Martin, there’s an old English saying that, “Where rosemary grows, the woman rules the house.” Like basil, rosemary is a natural insect repellent.

Lavender. Lavender brings peace, love, and gentleness, which makes it a perfect addition to any home. It can be used in spells for cleansing and purification, enhancing psychic abilities, and stress relief. Lavender is also a powerful addition to love spells. Keeping lavender in the bedroom can aid in restful sleep, while lavender in the kitchen will bring harmony to the home.

Sage. Sage is the most talked about cleansing herb, and with good reason. Unfortunately, a lot of the sage bundles you can buy at metaphysical stores are made with white sage (Salvia apiana), which is sacred to Native American peoples and is endangered due to overharvesting. Instead of buying those, why not grow your own garden sage (Salvia officinalis), which has a lot of the same magical properties? Growing sage in your home will purify the space and protect those who live there. Sage also has an association with wisdom and mental prowess.

Hoya. Hoya is a common houseplant that you’ve probably seen even if you don’t know it by name. It has a distinctive appearance with waxy, dark green leaves and clusters of white, star-shaped flowers. Hoya aligns and balances the energy centers within your body, as well as in the surrounding space. It’s associated both with grounding and with spiritual openness, so it can be great for balancing the two.

Peppermint. Peppermint has a variety of magical uses, but my favorite way to use it is for gently opening up blockages and getting things moving. It’s great for cleansing, but is more gentle than rosemary or sage. Place it in any room where you tend to do a lot of healing work, or where you could use some peace and love. Peppermint is also used in dream magic, so growing it in the bedroom may bring on vivid or lucid dreams.

Orchid. Orchids are used in magic for love and lust. Historically, orchid has been used in folk medicine to promote male virility and “Jezebel root,” used in American folk magic to attract wealthy male lovers, is a type of orchid root. If you live with a significant other, try growing an orchid in the bedroom to promote passion in your sex life. Otherwise, grow orchids in your home to promote love or to attract romance.

Catnip. If you have cats, they’ll love this one. Catnip is actually a type of mint, and has strong lunar associations. It’s said to make one more charming and attractive, and is especially useful for attracting women. At the same time, catnip promotes courage and fierceness. It is also, of course, associated with cats and feline deities, so this is definitely a plant you’ll want to keep around if the cat is one of your animal guides.

If you have a yard space that you can turn into an outdoor garden, your magical plant options are limited only by your local ecosystem. Some outdoor plants that have magical uses include roses, sunflowers, rue, lemon balm, and strawberries.

Creating an Altar

Altars are focal points of magical and spiritual energy. Many people, both witches and non-witches, find that having a designated space for their spiritual practice creates a deeper sense of sacredness and purpose.

An altar can serve lots of different purposes. Many witches use their altar as a magical work space to prepare spells, meditate, and do divination. You may choose to dedicate your altar to a deity, your ancestors, or some other spirit(s) you work with. You can also build altars for specific intentions, such as a money altar or a love altar — performing rituals at this altar everyday is a powerful method for manifestation. You altar may be some or all of these things, or it may just be a place to sit and connect with the spiritual.

You can set up an altar on any flat surface, like a shelf or table, or inside a container like a jewelry box. Your setup can be as simple or as elaborate as you like. An altar can be huge and complex, with statues and candles and flowers, or it can be as simple as a tealight and an incense burner. It’s all about what appeals to you.
