(Mostly so i have it written somewhere and i can reference it if people ask me about it ‘cause i suck at remembering doses and such...)
Tapioca balls (can find on amazon)
Prefered tea (i use English breakfast)
Milk (optional if you prefer to go without)
A bowl
Somewhere to boil the bubbles
Somewhere to boil the tea water (can be the same as above or just use a microwave)
Large straws (i use a metallic washable one but you can use any large straw, also can find on amazon)
A mug or similar to drink the bubble tea in
1. Take out about 2 small handfuls of tapioca balls per mug you wanna make (can be more or less depending on how much bubbles you want/prefer)
2. Take to boil a small pot with water and 2 teaspoons of sugar in it. When it’s boiling drop the bubbles in it and let them cook for about 2-3 minutes
3. While they boil, take about 3 spoonfuls of their water and put them in a small bowl. Mix it with about 1 and a half/ 2 teaspoong of honey until they form a sort of liquid sweetener
4. Strain the bubbles (be careful, they’re veeery squishy and will totally slip through larger holes) and drop them in the bowl with the honey. Mix them a bit and then let them sit in there for a while, both to cool off and get their shiny black appearance and to suck up all the sugary goodness
5. While they sit in there, make some tea! You can use the same pot to boil some water, i’m lazy so i just stick a mug full of water in the microwave and then pour it in the glass jar i use for bubble tea. People usually suggest black tea for bubble tea but tbh? Experiment all you want, that’s half the fun
6. When the tea is ready pick up the tapioca balls with a spoon and drop them in the mug you choose. You can also just pour the whole thing in the tea if you like your bubble tea hella hella sweet
7. (Optional, add the milk) Mix the whole thing and congrats! You just made bubble tea at home!

Touching him was like realizing all you ever wanted was right there in front of you. Regretting him was like wishing you never found out that love could be that strong.

How do you dispose of perishable offerings from your altar when you to switch out or redecorate? I feel bad just throwing them in the trash but I’m not sure what else to do. If anyone could message me what they do I’d be very grateful!

Not only is it a super moon, but a penumbral lunar eclipse. Lunar eclipses symbolize sudden changes and transformations, and the super moon will only double that energy ✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
There will also be a solar eclipse on the 21, the day after the summer solstice. Solar eclipses symbolize the release from past cycles and rebirth.

Just like all things in witchcraft you can add and take things away in order to fit your practice! Worship your deities, do a face mask, don’t light any candles, meditate for 30 seconds or a whole hour do whatever needed to detox and reflect on your day. Here is what I do.
What I use
Cleansing tool (Incense, crystals, etc)
Tarot deck
Candle (incorporate color magic!)
Music ( I like listening to Tibetan bowls)
Compass?
Ritual
Queue up any music, light a candle, clear space to sit and stretch comfortably.
Cleanse yourself and your space by passing the lit incense or crystal counter clock wise to expel any negative energy you’ve gathered throughout the day. Cleanse any other tools you will be using.
Determine where north is and sit cross legged or comfortably face this direction.
If you need structure to your meditation you can do High, Low, Kudos. This is a reflection tool to think of your highs of the day, your lows and giving kudos to people or spirits who assisted you through the day. Thank your body or mind for one wonderful thing it did today even if this was just getting out of bed 💕
When you feel relaxed and soupy do some of your favorite stretches, reach for the sky and touch your toes, hug yourself and flex your feet.
At this point I like to do spell work, tarot readings or use my pendulum.
Cleanse yourself again moving in a clockwise motion to attract positive energy for the next day.
Congrats you’ve made it through another day! ✨
Like I said this can be shortened and changed to fit your needs, if you’re sleeping over a friends and can only sit with your eyes clothes then that’s okay! I like to ask my mom (who doesn’t know witchcraft exists) if she wants to join, we meditate and stretch together. She finds a lot of comfort and relaxation in this practice as well even if it’s a different meaning for her. Good luck to everyone in the new year and feel free to message me with any questions or concerns! 😌💫💕
