Bad photo but I collected what was left of an offering to Aphrodite and put them into these little jar earrings 🌸

Imbolc Ideas 🕯

Imbolc is a celebration of fertility, incoming spring and light! (Or the birth of your livestock depending on what you’re into) It falls on February 1/2, 2020 for the northern hemisphere. Luckily this lines up with a weekend! Here are some ideas to get energy flowing and celebrate Imbolc.

Clean your room 🧹

Set out some amethyst on your alter

Try a new type of divination 🔮

Cook with cinnamon, rosemary or ginger

Light a candle 💥

Pet some sheep (don’t) (unless you can) (message me if you can pet some sheep)

Clean your house 🏠

Dress in white, silver, orange and red

Go on a walk 🧚‍♀️

Make a Brigid cross and read up on Imbolc’s history

C L E A N 🧹

I know it’s early, but time always slips by when you’re not paying attention. Have a safe January!

I would be sarcastic about being called awake at 4:30 in the morning to spell work and swing a rock around but I think I’ve finally (and truly) connected with a deity to work with after several months of looking. ✨

Any suggestions or questions please pm me I’m always looking for new ideas and people to talk to! 🌎

Blessed be ~

We have to accept with great sadness that up to 500,000,000 animals have been decimated in Australia’s widespread bushfires.⁣ We have to accept that there are humans among us in power who are hell-bent on destroying rainforest (Brazil) and other habitat across the world because of their obsession with finding that big pot of money at the end of the rainbow.

Ecologists from the University of Sydney now estimate 480 million mammals, birds and reptiles have been lost since September 2019 with the figure likely to increase substantially.⁣

The fires are moving fast in the states of Victoria and New South Wales in the last few days, killing humans, non-humans, burning down homes and habitats. ⁣

kangaroos, koalas and other animals and birds have been fleeing to escape this huge inferno,. Birds and bat's have been found having fallen from trees and found dead on the ground. ⁣

I'm not sure that humanity has the will or the ability to take action to mitigate against the impact of changing climatic conditions around Mother Earth or on the ground. The sixth mass extinction has started.

We often hear that the next ten years will be crucial in terms of the fate of our planet and all life here. Nature is seeking balance and nature will decide the destination and endgame of our existence.

Humanity, directly or indirectly is at war with nature and simultaneously at war with itself. What we do to nature we do to ourselves and our existence. We are seriously pulling apart the web of life and all that we and our non human relatives depend on for survival.

Our species is a highly irresponsible life form that is not facing up to its obligation to love and take care of nature and the home to all life. This is a priority but our politicians, world leaders and those who govern the fossil fuel industry, intensive agriculture and water resources are failing to lead on this. Financial profit over the health of the planet is the name of their game and it is fair to say that they do not care about you or I or life on Earth in general.

Our wish to live in a better more healthy world may now be unachievable. Can we really reverse the monumental damage we have done to the planet, its oceans, its land, soil and water, its atmosphere.

How much longer are we and our politicians going to sit on our backsides watching our planet being destroyed, our wildlife relatives and the natural world being decimated in front of our eyes?

World governments and people across nations need to take action to reverse climate change and global warming, to protect animals, birds, insects, marine life, plants an trees. To do this will be to strengthen support for humanity and all life. ⁣
