My wheel of the year is almost finished and I really hope I have enough skills to embroider it🤞

The clouds are being illuminated by lightning.

🌕 Full Moon Magic 🌕

A full moon occurs in the night sky when the sun and the moon are on opposite sides of the Earth. The moon now appears fully illuminated from Earth's perspective. Technically, this only happens for a short moment, as it will start waning soon after its pic.

✨ Focus: celebration, strength, power, personal & spiritual development

🔮 Mantra: “I am interconnected with the rest of the world”

🕯️ Self-care prompts and rituals:

Plan a special activity with your loved ones to celebrate something.

Dance to release energy and celebrate your own power!

Enjoy a full moon bath or soothing shower.

Start a dream journal to keep up with your intuitive-self.

Increase your intuitive awareness by practicing mindfulness.

Watch the sky at night to connect with the magic of your life.

Bake and enjoy your favorite comfort food.

Gift yourself a fun snack while grocery shopping.

Sing your favorite songs out loud.

Hug someone you love or a beloved pet.

hi, trick or treat? :)

Treat!

Graveyard Ingredients that aren’t dirt:

Leaves

Twigs/sticks/bark

Pincones

Stones/rocks (NEVER take from near or atop a headstone- those are offerings!)

Snow

Energy: you can collect it in many ways, I personally like to tie it up into knots for later use

Seeds, nuts, etc from trees

“Weeds”- Wild dandelions and yarrow from a graveyard are especially potent.

Grass clippings/cuttings

Wildflowers

The standard respect, offerings, and inquiry of whether the spirits of the graveyard are okay with you taking these items still apply! They’re just less tricky to obtain than dirt and still potent in spellwork!

🌞 spend some time outside, take some deep breaths of fresh air, enjoy the birds chirping, flowers, dew, fog, and the beautiful colors in the sky that sunrise brings

🌻charge some lemon juice in the sunrise for extra boost of cleansing, positivity, and happiness properties (to make it stronger you can infuse it with mint or grapefruit, which both have similar properties and correspond with sunrise)
