Im going to collect all the mirrorballs at Taylor’s The Era’s Tour

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. ⁣

Notes on Witchcraft and Supernatural Experiences

So much deity work seems to be focused on having “conversations” with deities/spirits/entities. Some examples could be : astral projecting to meet gods, a demon threatening to possess you in a dream, hearing voices during meditations, etc. Now I’m not saying those accounts are all false, but it’s turning spirituality and witchcraft into something it is not. It is highly unlikely you’ll have vivid dreams and encounters where an ancient god is going to tell you to buy a resin statue and break up with your partner. Further you aren’t a bad witch if you never have crazy unexplainable encounters with the supernatural world. Waiting for signs and directions from ghosts will lead to disappointment or even deterioration in mental health. If you’re just beginning to work with spirits take a deep breath, light a candle and give thanks. Witchcraft is highly individualized and deeply spiritual, but it’s also heavily rooted in the world we can see. Exaggerating deity work and witchcraft in general is counterproductive and harmful.

Crescent Cookies 🌙

I’ve been wanting to use some magick since the last time I almost burned down my kitchen so here we go.

Baking or cooking magick is wonderful way for witches in the broom closet to create and discretely practice.

TBH this recipe went haywire so I randomly threw some more stuff in oops.

What you’ll need

For cookies

2-2 1/4 cups of all purpose flour

2 sticks of softened salted butter (add 1/4 a pinch of salt if you don’t have salted butter)

3/4 cups of sugar

2 tablespoons of milk

1/2 cup of chopped almonds

Pinch of Cinnamon

For icing (optional)

3/4 cups of powdered sudar

1 tablespoon of milk

A dash of vanilla extract

Recipe

Beat the butter until fluffy, then add sugar. Best until combined

Add almonds, cinnamon and 2 cups of flour, mix until combined

The mix should be crumbly and not a dough yet. Slowly add milk until dough consistency.

Use the rest of the flour for your hands and break off pieces to form crescent shapes

Place on cookie sheet and cook for 15 minutes.

In another bowl mix together powdered sugar, milk and vanilla extract. Add more powdered sugar or milk for desired consistency.

Allow cookies to cool then dip into frosting while still warm.

Random notes

You can light candles in your kitchen, cleanse your space before cooking or add anything that you find fit.

I left some of these cookies on my alter and brought some to a friends party, this was the first time I successfully baked some I’m pretty proud.

I wish everyone a blessed new year ~

Wisptober Day 17: Waltz

 "Above the streets and roofs where they had once lived, the two spirits laughed and waltzed among the fallen leaves"

A simpler one today since it was pretty busy! :)

Happy Pride!
