• Known as Cougar, Mountain Lion, Puma, and Panther this big cat is a magnificent emblem for summer and a guide for us to use our power in its entirety. Recently crossing through the summer solstice portal, we are now being enlivened by the season of solar power. Traditionally, summer represents the peaking of our actions, as we exert power to shine our light. Mountain Lion reminds us to balance our outward expression of energy with solitude and stealth. By patiently waiting, tracking, and stalking before we pounce on our mark, we are able to practice gentle assertion, rather than overexertion, of our power. ⠀ Mountain Lion, with her careful and patient focus, teaches us to be fully present with our intentions, and intuitively guided to hunt down only what we need for nourishment –-nothing in excess. We need not waste time and energy unless it contributes to our highest self. The golden color of Mountain Lion reminds us to consciously seek, digest and transform what we consume into spiritual essence, the stuff that golden auras are made of. Using our power is good, but right use of power is better. ⠀ For more inspiration related to right use of power, swipe to check out the number 8 card of Strength in the traditional tarot deck and you will see the image of a woman effortlessly closing the jaws of a lion. ⠀ . . . . . . . . . . #witch #witchytips #fullmoonritual #scorpiofullmoon #fullmoon #pagan #flowermoon #wicca #witchcraft #wiccan #babywitch #candles #tarotcards #healing #witchaesthetic #crystalhealing #witchythings #instawitch #healyourself #innerchild #elder

  • Right about now, many of us feel like we’re caught in a rut. While the world around us begins to open up, many of us have grown accustomed to a stagnant lifestyle. Despite the new potential for freedom, we may feel trapped in routines that helped us preserve our sanity during quarantine. ⠀ While our routines may have helped us feel stable amidst all of the uncertainty, repetition when taken to extremes, restricts the authentic wildness of our souls. Proactively interrupting our ruts may be exactly what we need to reconnect with our authentic selves. ⠀ Here are some of my ideas for how you can stir things up, to prepare yourself for integration with the outer world: ⠀ **Treat yourself to a multi-sensory treasure hunt in nature. Find at least one thing that speaks to each of your 6 senses:  sight, touch, taste, sound, smell, intuition. ⠀ **Play like a kid. Get out some colored pens, crayons or paints. See what comes forth. Doing things that make you feel light-hearted and playful is good for you, because it will help you revive your genuine nature. ⠀ **Push one of your edges. If you wear pants all the time, wear a dress to the market – the brighter the color the better. If your phone is an obsession, try turning it off for 4 hours. If you are self-conscious about singing out loud, I dare you to sing a silly song out in public.

  • ☀️ 🌑 Today is extraordinarily potent. When we view this solstice from a universal perspective as a major cross point on the ever-turning wheel of the year, and consider that it is the longest day in the northern hemisphere (summer solstice), but the longest night in the southern hemisphere (winter solstice), it heightens our awareness of duality and balance related to global wholeness and community. Combine this solstice portal with an unusual occurrence of a dark/new moon at the same time, a solar eclipse, and many other rare aspects—and we have a point in time that is worthy of deep reflection and conscious intention to set the stage for our next moon cycle, and the remainder of this year. ⠀ Welcome to the 2020 solar eclipse solstice and all of the possibilities that it brings. In the northern hemisphere this is a brilliant time to harness the full extent of your personal power and shine light on the shadows of your inner world to cleanse and create positive personal change that will affect the outer world. Mother Earth and Father Sky are encouraging us to think globally, integrate dualities and live in harmonious rapport. ⠀ Here are a few ideas to help you align with the energies today: ⠀ *Have a ritual of light, either with the sun or by lighting a candle and focusing on the warm, energizing feeling it provides. What needs illuminating in your life? ⠀ *Touch in with yourself about where you are in life and write out plans for how you’ll create your desired manifestations over the next moon cycle, as well as through the second half of this year. ⠀ *Play. What will make you feel like a child again? Maybe you want to learn to rollerblade, climb a tree, or just sit in the sand and build a castle. Playfulness fosters rejuvenation and creativity, so let loose. ⠀ . . . . . . . . . . . . #witch #witchytips #fullmoonritual #scorpiofullmoon #fullmoon #pagan #flowermoon #wicca #witchcraft #wiccan #babywitch #candles #tarotcards #healing #witchaesthetic #crystalhealing #witchythings #instawitch #healyourself #innerchild #elder

  • Our world is calling for us to unite. In this spirit, I’m super excited to team up with the wonderful @ournOrm and share their “3 breaths at 3” campaign. #3at3 is a pause to remind us that we are all connected by the voices in our hearts. ⠀ 💞 Unity happens where the soul resides—the heart—because every soul is automatically connected to the unifying force of “the spirit that runs through all beings,” including all people, animals and nature. 💞 ⠀ Imagine you are standing with your arms out to the side so that your body is forming the shape of a cross. In this position, your heart sits at the center of a crossroad between the horizontal and vertical lines of your body. This point of balance, like all points of balance, creates a gateway to the spiritual realm. The vertical axis of your body (head/trunk/legs) is like a tree, representing your earthly connection to the heavens, while the horizontal axis of your arms is symbolic of your connection to the spirit that moves through all life on earth. No matter how you slice it, your heart is your center. ⠀ The heart is where our connective glue, the soul, resides --but in this modern world riddled with anxieties and distractions we’ve been conditioned to stay in our heads. What I love about ournOrm’s 2-minute technique, is that it brings our hearts and minds together as one (internally and collectively)—fostering unity, love and gratitude. ⠀ “3 breaths at 3” is a very simple, personal re-orientation that connects us to all of life on earth, and its benefits are magnified by each person who participates. If you want to join us and help turn unity into a social norm, here is how it works: ⠀ (1) set a daily reminder at 3pm local (2) at 3pm, take three conscious breaths (3) with each breath, think of something you are grateful for . . . . . . . . . . . . . #witch #witchytips #fullmoonritual #scorpiofullmoon #fullmoon #pagan #flowermoon #wicca #witchcraft #wiccan #babywitch #candles #tarotcards #healing #witchaesthetic #crystalhealing #witchythings #instawitch

  • 💫 Wandering and wondering in nature is my favorite form of meditation. When I am outside and fully present with all of my sensory channels open, I receive high vibrations from nature that are healing and highly connective. ⠀ The point of meditation is to relax and quiet the mind. But, there are many ways to meditate. If you are like me, and have trouble sitting still, here are some of my tips for using movement and nature to receive the benefits of meditation: ⠀ 1.Go outside and remove yourself from the distractions that will dilute your full presence with nature. If you have limited time, put your phone in airplane mode and set the timer for 10 minutes. ⠀ 2. Take in and release three deep breathes. Relax and engage with all of your senses –sight, sound, touch, taste, smell and intuition. Allow yourself to truly wander, with no goal in mind. What are you spontaneously drawn to do? ⠀ 3. After completing your wander and wonder, take some time to journal about the three most prominent things that caught your attention. Was it something you heard, something you saw, and something you touched? Or maybe your top three recollections were related to a pleasant or offensive smell. Also take note of how your body and emotions felt before, during, and after your time in nature. ⠀ The more we engage in this kind of practice, the more we connect to the invisible essence of our original selves and the greater life force all around us. Now more than ever, the world needs us to demonstrate this harmonious way of being. As a bridge between worlds, nature is an awesome gateway. By using our full presence to connect with the authentic nature, inside and outside of ourselves, we automatically connect more deeply with the unifying force of Spirit that runs through all beings—including all people, animals and nature. 💫 Photo taken by @scottrkline . . . . #witch #witchytips #fullmoonritual #scorpiofullmoon #fullmoon #pagan #flowermoon #wicca #witchcraft #wiccan #babywitch #candles #tarotcards #healing #witchaesthetic #crystalhealing #witchythings #instawitch

  • 🌀 When engaging with a potent talisman, I connect with its energy through my sensory channels. Between my hands, I hold a smooth globe of lustrous Blue Calcite. Its spherical shape reminds me of divine perfection and soothes my soul. Circles and spheres represent unity, wholeness and infinity. They have no beginning, end, sides or corners, and as such are always emanating energy outward and evenly in all directions. Receptive to the blue color of this stone, it mollifies me like water, inducing peace and relaxation. In addition, the composition of blue calcite has a specific vibration that helps me clear communication blocks and amplify my authentic voice. ⠀ Revering talismans is rewarding, because I feel connected to a greater life force and it opens me up to positive influences. Here are six ways to help you connect with a sacred object: ⠀ 1. Sleep with it under your pillow or on your nightstand. 2. Place it on an altar and gaze at it often. 3. Hold it during a meditation. 4. Research the object to know as much as you possibly can about it. 5. Journal about it. 6. Try holding it and asking a question. See if you intuit an answer. . . . . . . . . . . . . #witch #witchytips #fullmoonritual #scorpiofullmoon #fullmoon #pagan #flowermoon #wicca #witchcraft #wiccan #babywitch #candles #tarotcards #healing #witchaesthetic #crystalhealing #witchythings #instawitch

  • Playing with your intuition to produce beauty is a deeply connective practice of self-love. Imagine the feeling of great joy that you get from gathering fresh flowers and greenery from a garden and then combining them into a beautiful arrangement. That’s how I feel when I’m making an altar. I’m light and free—not following any rules as I bring it together. Most often I don’t even plan it. It spontaneously happens when I am drawn to revel in the beauty of individual items I’ve collected. This opening in my heart compels me to arrange things collectively, in a way that heightens individual beauty. ⠀ Sometimes, I can find themes in my altars. For this altar I was inspired to play with circles, spheres and color. Circles are symbolic of connection, wholeness, flow, eternity, and regeneration, while the tones of pink, green, and blue are a heavenly orientation. Symbols and colors speak the language of the soul. Observing, feeling, loving, and playing with symbols is a profound conversation, that my mind does not have to understand. All I have to do is sink into the present moment and engage with the wonder of beauty. When I do, it opens me up to feel free and play like a child with my imagination. Lo and behold the end result is a reflection of my interior world that deepens my self-understanding. ⠀ Here you see a large lapis lazuli sphere, the stone of Ancient Egypt, encircled by smaller colorful spheres. Behind it there is another circle made of 8 colorful candles, with a spiraling grid of stones at the center. These 2 arrangements are unique, but also connected to each other, forming a figure 8 (infinity sign and ouroboros), which symbolizes movement, balance, and boundlessness. Best of all, there are wild animals on the periphery validating that my interior world is protected and guided by the animal kingdom. ⠀ May you go forth, and use your intuition to create authentic beauty in the spaces that call to you. . . . . . . . . . . . . . #witch #witchytips #fullmoonritual #scorpiofullmoon #fullmoon #pagan #flowermoon #wicca #witchcraft #wiccan #babywitch #candles #tarotcards #healing #witchaesthetic #crystalhealing #witchythings #instawitch

Best of all, there are wild animals on the periphery validating that my interior world is protected and guided by the animal kingdom. ⠀ May you go forth, and use your intuition to create authentic beauty in the spaces that call to you. . . . . . . . . . . . . . #witch #witchytips #fullmoonritual #scorpiofullmoon #fullmoon #pagan #flowermoon #wicca #witchcraft #wiccan #babywitch #candles #tarotcards #healing #witchaesthetic #crystalhealing #witchythings #instawitch
  • ☀️ Standing in reverence to the glory of the sun, I am reminded of the gifts of upward growth. Like a seed emerging from the dark soil of mother earth, I long to sprout and grow toward the sunlight. But the state of our world reminds me that slow, nurtured growth is one key to my survival, so for now I will remain sheltered in the womb of my home in order to germinate new seeds of intention. ⠀ As the horizon begins to stretch out before me, I am deeply reflecting on the potential for growth I’ve been cultivating for months. As a seedling, this darkness has led me to appreciate the light I used to take for granted –-but I will not be hasty to forfeit one for the other. I know it’s the balance of light and dark that will always allow me to thrive. As we approach new transitions, I know that I must keep this balance in mind, appreciating where I have come from even as I move forward. ⠀ May we all rest, breathe deeply, and stretch for the light! ⠀ . . . . . . . . . . . . . #witch #witchytips #fullmoonritual #scorpiofullmoon #fullmoon #pagan #flowermoon #wicca #witchcraft #wiccan #babywitch #candles #tarotcards #healing #witchaesthetic #crystalhealing #witchythings #instawitch

  • The fawn is one of the most recognizable emblems of Spring. Gentle, sweet, and small she is vulnerable. In fact, during the first few weeks of her life, when her mother forages for food all day, the fawn is not allowed to go with her out in public. Instead the fawn is sheltered in place so she can build strength for when she faces the larger world. ⠀ No matter our family status or gender, the relationship between a baby fawn and her mother is lovely image for our current moment. Depending on where you live, some of the quarantine restrictions are beginning to lift, and we are embarking on a gentle integration back into society. The fawn reminds us to take these last moments at home as an opportunity to nurture ourselves as we will soon be exposed to new activities and energies. By staying still and being fully present with ourselves, it will help us debut to the outside world in our strongest forms. ⠀ May we all be healthy, happy and free. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #witch #witchytips #fullmoonritual #scorpiofullmoon #fullmoon #pagan #flowermoon #wicca #witchcraft #wiccan #babywitch #candles #tarotcards #healing #witchaesthetic #crystalhealing #witchythings #instawitch

  • As our time in seclusion drags out, it may seem never-ending and cause us to feel stuck, constricted or lonely. One thing that frees me up is dancing with myself. I’m not a trained dancer, I just enjoy feeling into the energy of nature or music, and allowing the good vibrations move me. ⠀ Dancing with free expression is ancient, universal, authentic and wild. It can be practiced almost anywhere and at any time. If you have spent much of your day sitting down, thinking, talking or worrying – dance is a natural way to get out of your head, reconnect with your body, and feel your way around. Don’t worry about slick moves or choreographed routines, just “dance like nobody’s watching.” ⠀ If you’ve never tried it, here are a few tips to get you started: ⠀ *Choose a space outside or inside where you can comfortably move your body. *Turn on some music that inspires and enlivens you, or simply tune into the energy of nature. *Stand with your feet flat on the ground, and bring your awareness into your body. *As you slowly begin to move, feel where there is constriction and tightness in your body. Is there rigidity that wants to be released? Where are you out of balance? Which parts of your body want to be heard? *Allow yourself the freedom to move without expectations. Trust your body’s inherent wisdom, and let your inner self guide your movement. *Afterwards, take time for a little cool down stretch, being gentle with yourself. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #witch #witchytips #fullmoonritual #scorpiofullmoon #fullmoon #pagan #flowermoon #wicca #witchcraft #wiccan #babywitch #candles #tarotcards #healing #witchaesthetic #crystalhealing #witchythings #instawitch

  • 💖 As I mentioned in my previous post, being fully present with yourself is a potent healing practice. One of the best ways to do this is through self-care. Self-care is about giving yourself 100% of your attention. If you’d like to be in a state of complete presence with yourself, here are some ideas: ⠀ *Turn off all technology for one hour and free form journal write to see what you discover about yourself. Write as if the journal is your friend and you are talking to her/him about whatever is on your mind. Just let your thoughts pour onto the paper. Once you start writing, you will be amazed at the ensuing dialogue! ⠀ *If you are able to go outside, try mindful walking. Turn off your phone and allow yourself to wander wherever you feel inclined. Pay attention to your breath, how the movement feels in your body, how your feet feel on the ground, and how your surroundings change. Use your sensory channels to receive information – sight, sound, touch, taste, smell, intuition. ⠀ *Write down or audio record your dreams as soon as you wake up. What were the images, ideas, feelings and thoughts? Spend some time that same day contemplating what they mean. Even if you don’t remember the whole dream, write down little tidbits and work with them. The more you do this, the more your dreams continue to will reveal. ⠀ *Create an altar! Your altar can be placed outside or inside. Find a surface and gather objects that help you to feel grounded and joyful. Use colors, pictures, and scents. You can add larger objects that hold symbolic resonance in your life, but also smaller items that include jewelry, feathers, herbs, lights, and candles! Let this altar be a reflection of your inner self. ⠀ *Try something creative that you’ve always wanted to do, but did not because you were judged.  Maybe you wanted to be a singer, but everyone said it was a waste of time. Just do it, whatever it is. Treat yourself like a best friend cheering you on. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #witch #witchesofinstagram #pagan #pagansofinstagram #awitchalone #witches #lunarcalendar #lunar #aprilmoon #rue #witchcraft #witchy #spells #spellcast #wild #wildwoman #newmoon #healing #nature #spirit

  • 💞 Today, May 1, is a day for lovers! Can you feel it? As the sun and earth merge in a union of passion and fertility, their energy is contagious! Confined to your home, it may feel difficult to be stuck inside when the world around you is brimming with passion. However, this is a wonderful opportunity to turn the energy inward, and have a love affair with yourself. ⠀ Energy follows thought. Hence, personal vitality is diluted when we send it outward, overreacting to external occurrences, or overthinking the past and the future. To counteract this effect, today is a great day to practice self-love and re-direct all of our attention to ourselves!  Because when we are fully present with ourselves, the energy raises our spirits. ⠀ So today, rather than mourning lost potential, take advantage of the surrounding vitality. Be your best lover and merge with YOU. Because presence is the best present you can give anyone, including yourself! 💞 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #witch #witchesofinstagram #pagan #pagansofinstagram #awitchalone #witches #lunarcalendar #lunar #aprilmoon #rue #witchcraft #witchy #spells #spellcast #wild #wildwoman #newmoon #healing #nature #spirit

  • 🐰 Often associated with Spring and new life, rabbits have long stood as symbols of creativity and abundance. This association with the prolific nature of rabbits, holds great significance for us, as one rabbit can birth as many as 100 babies per year. At that rate, it’s possible for a 10 year old rabbit to have produced 1000 bunnies in her lifetime! Taken together with all other rabbits in the world, we could have an overwhelming prey population. Fortunately, nature has predators who rely on rabbits as a primary food source. In their abundance, rabbits feed their environment, helping to fuel the great circle of life. Because rabbits are so heavily hunted, the act of creating offspring requires a tremendous amount of trial and error. Knowing she will lose many of her creations, a mother rabbit births in abundance to ensure some survival. ⠀ No matter our gender identification, rabbits remind us to take in and reflect on our creative pursuits. Under the current growing moon phase, many of us are starting new endeavors. Throughout this process, take into account the guidance from Rabbit. Let her remind you that creativity requires a lot of trial and error, and that the likelihood of creating something that will endure increases the more we create! If your creative ideas are beginning to overwhelm you, follow the laws of nature and begin to balance them out with predation. Start by culling the weakest ideas, and allowing the most robust designs endure. Using Rabbit as a guide for creativity we are reminded to open up to failure and growth, rather than criticize our work when it does not resonate immediately. ⠀ Just like the role of prey, the creative process may not be recognized as vitally important to our society. However, also like prey, creativity is integral to our wellbeing and vitality. 🐰 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #witch #witchesofinstagram #pagan #pagansofinstagram #awitchalone #witches #lunarcalendar #lunar #aprilmoon #rue #witchcraft #witchy #spells #spellcast #wild #wildwoman #newmoon #healing #nature #spirit

  • 🌑 The moon is currently balsamic. Waning in light, she is mellow, tired, turned inward, and nearly spent. Soon she will be completely dark. As she approaches the very end of her cycle, we feel her pulling us inward to rest and release what is ending. Let the moon be your guide as you move through this state. Is there something you need to get rid of? An old habit, a negative thought pattern, a draining relationship, or perhaps there’s too much junk in your closet? Contemplate, journal or meditate on what you want to end with this moon phase. Keep in mind that endings come in various degrees. You don’t have to completely discard something to make a positive change. Like a snake who sloughs off dead skin or a tree who loses old leaves, letting go keeps things fresh. ⠀ The balsamic moon phase is one of the best times to meditate, because the dark, mellow energy helps us relax and turn inward. By taking time now to renew yourself, you’ll be better prepared for a new beginning on the new moon Wednesday night! . . . . . . . . . . . #witch #witchesofinstagram #pagan #pagansofinstagram #awitchalone #witches #lunarcalendar #lunar #aprilmoon #rue #witchcraft #witchy #spells #spellcast #wild #wildwoman

  • As I mentioned in my previous post, I have been using this time to work on my next book, “Bone Women’s Way: How to Connect with the Natural World for Personal Transformation,” a guide for tapping into nature's rhythms and cycles within our modern world. One of my central focuses throughout the book is the moon. ⠀ Right now, in the last quarter moon phase, we are experiencing fluctuations in our life and the world around us. I have been writing in great depth about change as a natural state, and thought it may be helpful to share a bit of wisdom from my book, as we move closer to the dark moon phase for endings. ⠀ “🌓 🌗 Quarter moons can be confusing, because there are two of them and visually they both appear as half moons in the sky. The first quarter moon in the Northern Hemisphere is dark on the left half and illuminated on the right 🌓, while the last quarter moon is the opposite 🌗. They are called quarter moons, because when a lunation is divided into quarters or four phases, there is a dark moon on the edge of birthing light 🌑, a first quarter moon growing in light 🌓, a full moon peaking in light 🌕, and a last quarter moon diminishing in light 🌗. ⠀ As a person immersed in a third quarter stage, you are moving towards the night. Half the time you will be doing what you must do to ensure your survival and the other half of the time you will be alone resting and reflecting. Your life may feel chaotic as you try to balance the two opposing forces of your exterior and interior worlds. You may even feel tired from the push and ready to relax, but there is pressure to make a decision. As you move closer to the dark moon, you must contemplate and decide what you want to end. By doing this contemplative work now, you will be ready to release something in the next phase, which will create space for rest and seeds of regeneration.” ⠀ If this kind of chaos feels true to you, I hope it is comforting for you to know that this feeling is normal and integral to the potent process of transformation. ⠀ Sending you moonbeams of love. 🌙 . . . . . . . . . #witch #witchesofinstagram #pagan #pagansofinstagram #awitchalone #witches #lunarcalendar #lunar #aprilmoon #rue

  • 🐰 The symbolic power of the staff has been acknowledged throughout history since ancient times, from its place in western medicine as the symbol for healing, to its earthly origins in shepherding, to its mythological associations with Hermes and Thoth. With one end grounded into the soil and the other reaching towards the heavens, the staff serves as potent antenna providing a connective network between the wisdom of the earth and the spiritual planes. As single line, the staff connects polar dualities to create a harmony between opposites that can lead to transformation. ⠀ The power that the staff holds is often associated with the symbolic guidance placed upon it. For example, the medical symbol shows a snake spiraling around the staff like a garland. The snake is an ideal figure for the field of medicine, because due to their natural ability to shed their old skin they represent healing through rebirth and renewal. With a rabbit on my staff, I hope to channel the power of creativity. As I mentioned last week, the boundless fertility of Rabbit harbors a creative energy that can be harnessed to create more than literal offspring. ⠀ In the spirit of Rabbit, I’m going down the rabbit hole to channel creative energy into my next book, “Bone Woman’s Way: How to Connect with the Natural World for Personal Transformation.” I’m looking forward to using this time as a creative outlet for something that I hope will be a useful resource for people in the future.

  • Confined to our homes and suspended in waves of uncertainty, we may be searching for a meaning in all of this. I have found that bones are an essential symbol for these times. Forced into an unprecedented position, every one of us has been called to “get down to the bones” of what really matters in all aspects of our life. ⠀ Bones are foundational and represent our core essence. Taken literally, our skeleton is the interior structure that supports our physical body. Without our skeleton we would function like a sack of Jell-O. But from a spiritual perspective bones are symbolic of our soul, our unique inner essence that is invisibly connected to “ the spirit that runs through all things,” and endures lifetime after lifetime through cycles of reincarnation. ⠀ As a bone woman, I have ushered and been witness to thousands of physical and metaphysical transitions that strip things down to the bone. Stripped from the predictability of our former lifestyles, we are experiencing literal deaths and symbolic endings. As painful as these losses may feel now, we have opened a new door and are moving through nature's cyclical course. Most importantly, these losses are giving way to the bones of our life, which endure far after any form of death. ⠀ I see our current state as one phase in nature’s cycle of life-death-rebirth, leading us closer and closer to the bare bone essentials. By exposing the bones of our core essence, we remember the important things - and how they endure as all else falls away. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #healers #witch #witchy #witchytips #witchesofinstagram #wild #innerwildness #spiritual #awakenyoursoul #spirituality #wicca #wiccan #pagan #consciousness #cosmicconsciousness #awakening #goddess #goddesswithin #divine #divinefeminine #vibration

  • 🐇 Tapping into the phrase “breeding like rabbits” does not have to be taken literally. On a higher note, it refers to the fertile, feminine creative power we all possess to birth new life—no matter our gender identity.

  • The ever-changing nature of the moon is a beautiful symbol for these dark times. Every month she cycles through dark and light phases for growth and renewal – and every month at the beginning of her cycle she is reborn like a phoenix rising from the ashes. Today is a new moon, representing new beginnings for the next month. ⠀ While usually our new moon intentions are personal ones, the nature of this crisis has joined us together in ways that we could never have imagined. Yet, paradoxically we are in social isolation. For this new moon cycle, it would be uplifting to intentionally imagine ourselves as together in community, strengthening the networks by writing down personal intentions that have a positive influence on others. ⠀ To get your creative juices flowing, here are 3 simple ideas for intentions that would radiate high vibes and help our world rise out of the current ashes. ⠀ *Write a bunch of notes for people in your household that would reinvigorate your close connections. Decide how many and how often. Place them to be found under a pillow, in a drawer or on the couch. Use old scraps of paper, sticky notes or try lipstick on a mirror. Even if you live alone, it’s empowering to write notes to yourself! “I love your smile.” “Thank you for doing the dishes.” “We can do this!” ⠀ *Set a schedule to repeat a visualization prayer where you see in your mind’s eye representations of people shining as little dots of lights all over the globe. Next, imagine those lights growing in their glow until they touch each other and turn our planet into a giant ball of white light, connected and unified. ⠀ *Choose a person that you harbor some negative emotions for. Someone who hurt your feelings or made you mad. Sit in a chair with your eyes closed and imagine this person in your mind’s eye. Then visual them completely surrounded in a ball of white light. Hold that vision as long as you can.... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #healers #witch #witchy #witchytips #witchesofinstagram #wild #innerwildness #spiritual #awakenyoursoul #spirituality #wicca #wiccan #pagan #consciousness #cosmicconsciousness #awakening #goddess #goddesswithin #divine #divinefeminine #vibration

  • An altar is a sacred space that redirects our focus from the material world to the spiritual realm. Altars have been used by religious and spiritual practices since the beginning of time, as a place for communing with Gods, Goddesses, ancestors and more. As we become more tethered to our homes, having a space that allows us to feel connected to a greater life force is uplifting and reassuring. ⠀ This photograph reveals one of the many altars I have sprinkled around the inside and outside of my home. I create altars in a variety of places - inside cabinets and on top of dressers, shelves and little tables.  Each one has a different flavor or theme. I like to use colorful fabrics, and often incorporate patterns of sacred geometry. ⠀ Gazing upon my altars, I feel love and deep connection. Every object, color, texture, and design holds a deep meaning for me that puts me in a state of awe and gratitude for the emanating beauty. If you’d like to create an altar, here are some tips: ⠀ -Consider what objects you already have, that help you to feel grounded and joyful in your daily life. Ideas include candles, crystals, statues, pictures, a sacred tool, chalice, jewelry, herbs, or flowers. You can also search for objects in nature, or buy something new to add in. ⠀ -Consider adding larger symbols or objects that represent significant themes in your life. Eg: transformation, balance, endings, or new life. Symbols are personal, so feel into this, and see what attracts you. ⠀ -Do you have an animal totem? If so, include photos, bones, feathers, or trinkets to help you align with their energy. ⠀ There is no right or wrong way to create an altar. Use your intuition and have fun with it. Remember that your altar is a living entity. Visit it often and feed it with your energy. The more attention you give it, the greater your connection will be to yourself and the spiritual realm. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #healers #witch #witchy #witchytips #witchesofinstagram #wild #innerwildness #spiritual #awakenyoursoul #spirituality #wicca #wiccan #pagan #consciousness #cosmicconsciousness #awakening #goddess #goddesswithin #divine #divinefeminine #vibration #meditation

  • Today on the 1st day of spring in the northern hemisphere, it’s also the vernal equinox, a time when the lengths of day and night are equal. As I set my intentions for balance, I’m able to align with the power of this equinox energy. Inspired by Lichun, a Chinese tradition that includes balancing eggs on a flat surface, I saw the chicken egg as a symbol for our current times -as it relates to wholeness (required for balance), and new life (an egg’s purpose). ⠀ As a culture, we’ve been out of balance for a long time, overemphasizing the outward exertion of energy. But in our current climate the pendulum is swinging hard to the other side --forcing us to turn inward for the experience of idleness, rest, and reflection. Today, as I look to the wholesome beauty of a chicken egg, let me share with you some of my thoughts: ⠀ *A bird’s egg is a perfectly whole specimen. It contains everything inside that it needs to create new life, revealing that wholeness is not partial or skewed. Instead it is aligned with and perfectly balanced like the day and night of spring equinox. ⠀ *An eggshell protects with discerning balance. Strong enough to support the weight of an incubating parent, it’s also delicate enough for the chick to peck its way out. Shielding as it repels water, it’s also permeable for the chick to breathe air. These symbols remind us to protect our inner and outer selves with boundaries, instead of walls. ⠀ *The vital function of an egg is its ability to hatch new life! Right now, let us consider the potential of being contained and able to grow on the inside, before we are hatched out into the world again. Let the egg remind us that although it may feel dark and cramped inside our shell -throughout this period of incubation, we have the potential to create a new life for a new world, that is more harmonious and balanced, both individually and as a whole. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #healers #witch #witchy #witchytips #witchesofinstagram #wild #innerwildness #spiritual #awakenyoursoul #spirituality #wicca #wiccan #pagan #consciousness #cosmicconsciousness #awakening #goddess #goddesswithin #divine #divinefeminine #vibration #meditation

  • Times are changing, but it should bring great comfort to know that the only thing constant in nature is change. During these uncertain times, tadpoles are marvelous mirrors showing us how endings can turn into new beginnings for evolution and growth. ⠀ Looking up through the lens of water to see a blue sky with white clouds and green trees, I bet a tadpole does not know that her existence as a pollywog is only temporary. In this same way, 3 months ago humanity did not know how life as we knew it would take us by surprise and dramatically shift. Looking closer at the life of a tadpole, we find encouragement, as we relate it to the metamorphosis humanity is undergoing right. ⠀ *Newly hatched, a tadpole resembles a little fish swimming with a tail - living full time underwater, and breathing with gills. ⠀ *Change happens when the gills begin to disappear, and air breathing lungs start to form. Imagine growing new organs and completely changing the way you breath! ⠀ *Next a pair of hind stubs emerge from the body, followed by front stubs that grow into long legs. ⠀ *Now, with 4 full legs and 1 tail, this “froglet” is very vulnerable. Swimming with 5 appendages is awkward, and the froglet is not yet able to live on land. Suspended in the shock of change, can you relate to how uncomfortable and uncertain this might feel? ⠀ *Lastly, when the tail shrinks down, a froglet will climb out of the water to declare it has fully morphed into a frog ready to live on the land. Transmuted into another being through the alchemy of change, this frog is unrecognizable from her former self. ⠀ Similar to a frog’s transformative process, humanity is going through an intended alchemical change that will shed old ways of being and encourage renewal. Taking inspiration from a frog, it’s certain we will land on our feet, after evolving in ways that adapt us to our new environment. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #healers #witch #witchy #witchytips #witchesofinstagram #wild #innerwildness #spiritual #awakenyoursoul #spirituality #wicca #wiccan #pagan #consciousness #cosmicconsciousness #awakening #goddess #goddesswithin #divine #divinefeminine #vibration #meditation

  • In these rare and difficult times when fear of scarcity abounds and social distancing is the norm, it offers us the opportunity to connect in new or dormant ways. By stepping away from the feelings of chaos or loneliness and out into the stability of nature, we are reminded that nature lifts our spirits and connects us to a much larger whole. As the structure and foundation of our physical institutions close down, we can take comfort knowing that nature is always open for the business of love, connection and support. As our great mother, she has a marvelous way of bringing us back to center. All we have to do is redirect our attention to the quiet, undemanding little things in life. For example, when we experience the feeling of mud between our toes, the sweet scent of jasmine in bloom, the melody of a breeze through tall grasses, the dancing of raindrops in puddles or the taste of a snowflake on our tongue, all of the sudden we are reminded that although the world around us may be fraught with the fear of change, we can find joy and connection all around us. ⠀ Here are 3 simple ideas for connecting with nature that you can do alone or with loved ones: ⠀ 1.Go for a gentle walk and wander with freedom to be spontaneously guided. When you return, journal about what you enjoyed the most or something that caught your attention to bring its energy home with you. ⠀ 2.Choose your favorite symbol and go on a treasure hunt. Some examples are: spirals, wings, rocks, reptiles, leaves, edibles, flowers or something else! When you return, journal about your found treasures, and what the symbols represent to you. ⠀ 3.If you live in an area where it’s too cold or difficult to wander, if possible sit by an open window in silence to observe the outdoors. Or better yet, try to find a sheltered place outside. Bundle up well and relax into the experience. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #healers #witch #witchy #witchytips #witchesofinstagram #wild #innerwildness #spiritual #awakenyoursoul #spirituality #wicca #wiccan #pagan #consciousness #cosmicconsciousness #awakening #goddess #goddesswithin #divine #divinefeminine #vibration #meditation

  • 🐓Many cultures and religions dry chicken’s feet and use them as charms for protection. It’s no wonder, because chickens use their feet as vital tools to survive and thrive. To a chicken, their feet are everything. This is important to consider, especially if/when we are purchasing their eggs or meat for our meals, because chickens who live in metal cages without access to dirt, without the ability to use their feet naturally, will literally go crazy. This is not only painful for the chickens, but through consumption we take on the energy of their lifetime. I believe animals and plants are sentient beings, with emotions and energy individual to them. So one of my personal values is to consider the source and quality of life for all the foods I purchase and eat. ⠀ For a more positive look at the guidance from the natural motions of chickens, here are some of the ways that chickens use their feet to scratch, and why they do it! ⠀ FORAGING – Chickens scratch the dirt to forage for food, such as bugs, plants and seeds. NESTING – Chickens scratch to organize a comfortable nest to sleep in - or lay and incubate eggs in. GROOMING: Chicken’s scratch to keep their nails short. HYGIENE – Chickens scratch to dig deep, and then roll around in a bowl of lose dirt to take a dust bath that will protect themselves from parasites. EXERCISE: Chickens scratch for movement and exercise. BONDING – Chickens are social animals. They like to scratch together and join each other in scratching activities.🐓 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #healers #witch #witchy #witchytips #witchesofinstagram #wild #innerwildness #spiritual #awakenyoursoul #spirituality #wicca #wiccan #pagan #consciousness #cosmicconsciousness #awakening #goddess #goddesswithin #divine #divinefeminine #vibration #meditation

  • Have you ever heard of the Observer Effect? Recently, scientific interests have revealed in experiments that consciousness affects the internal physical properties of what it observes. In a nutshell, this means the greater amount of watching we do, the greater our influence on what actually takes place. ⠀ This incredible ability is why I spend time observing my food. If energy follows thought, and my observation influences what I am observing, then it makes sense I can alter the quality of the food I am eating. For example, I normally eat fresh, local, organic produce. But we all know there are times when it’s not possible. If I wanted to eat fruit, and all I had was a basket full of blueberries that had traveled for 2 weeks across country and sat in a store until they finally made their way to me a tad wilted and old - I would observe the fruit, focus my thoughts, send the edibles love, and imagine them as vibrant blue berries right off the vine. Then I would eat them with joy and gratitude, knowing that I was taking in a wide array of fresh nutrients. ⠀ I believe consciousness heals.

  • Do you know what moon phase you were born under? ⠀ The phase of the moon on the day you were born can highly influence your lifetime comforts, interests, and personality. I was born under the balsamic moon, just a few hours short of a new moon, which explains why I’m more comfortable than most with endings, death, and transformation – and ultimately became a Bone Woman. If you want to know the moon’s phase on the day you were born, you only need to do this simple google search: “full month moon phase calendar [insert month and year of your birth].” ⠀ Once you know your moon phase, it is helpful to mark these 3 days of the lunar cycle on your calendar **every month** which will remind you to check in with yourself and adjust your actions to align with the energy of your moon phase. Synchronizing with the power of the moon in this way will magnify your authentic nature, and also deepen your connection to the moon. Here is a very brief description of how your moon phase might influence you: ⠀ MOON PHASE PERSONALITIES 1. New Moon people tend to be initiators. They are intuitive and instinctual. They love new beginnings. 2. Crescent Moon people tend to be energetic, enthusiastic, focused, and creative. 3. First Quarter Moon people tend to be passionate, confident leaders and builders who don’t mind taking risks. 4. Gibbous Moon people love to evolve and grow. They often take classes and seek apprenticeship roles. 5. Full Moon people tend to love relationships and learn through their rapport with significant others. 6. Disseminating Moon people are often teachers or philosophers who love to share the wisdom they’ve gathered. 7. Last Quarter Moon people tend to appreciate inward contemplation. They often re-evaluate, reorganize, and change. 8. Balsamic or Dark Moon people tend to be loners, spiritual teachers and visionaries who are completing a karmic cycle. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #healers #witch #witchy #witchytips #witchesofinstagram #wild #innerwildness #spiritual #awakenyoursoul #spirituality #wicca #wiccan #pagan #consciousness #cosmicconsciousness #awakening #goddess #goddesswithin #divine #divinefeminine #vibration #meditation

If you want to know the moon’s phase on the day you were born, you only need to do this simple google search: “full month moon phase calendar [insert month and year of your birth].” ⠀ Once you know your moon phase, it is helpful to mark these 3 days of the lunar cycle on your calendar **every month** which will remind you to check in with yourself and adjust your actions to align with the energy of your moon phase. Synchronizing with the power of the moon in this way will magnify your authentic nature, and also deepen your connection to the moon. Here is a very brief description of how your moon phase might influence you: ⠀ MOON PHASE PERSONALITIES 1. New Moon people tend to be initiators. They are intuitive and instinctual. They love new beginnings. 2. Crescent Moon people tend to be energetic, enthusiastic, focused, and creative. 3. First Quarter Moon people tend to be passionate, confident leaders and builders who don’t mind taking risks. 4. Gibbous Moon people love to evolve and grow. They often take classes and seek apprenticeship roles. 5. Full Moon people tend to love relationships and learn through their rapport with significant others. 6. Disseminating Moon people are often teachers or philosophers who love to share the wisdom they’ve gathered. 7. Last Quarter Moon people tend to appreciate inward contemplation. They often re-evaluate, reorganize, and change. 8. Balsamic or Dark Moon people tend to be loners, spiritual teachers and visionaries who are completing a karmic cycle. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #healers #witch #witchy #witchytips #witchesofinstagram #wild #innerwildness #spiritual #awakenyoursoul #spirituality #wicca #wiccan #pagan #consciousness #cosmicconsciousness #awakening #goddess #goddesswithin #divine #divinefeminine #vibration #meditation

  • The phrase “as above, so below, as within, so without” can be traced back to an inscription on The Emerald Tablet, the Hermetica, part of the ancient Egyptian-Greek wisdom texts. It speaks to how our inner world is directly connected to our outer world. In other words, the state of our inner environment is reflected outside of ourselves. ⠀ What we feel inside is what will be expressed, manifested, or attracted to us in our external life. Our waking world is a mirror reflecting our inner state back to us. There are multiple gifts in this design. If we tune in to the spiritual tools the universe gives us, we can begin to repair our wounded selves, and serve as a light in our world during this significant time ⠀ By understanding and harnessing the wisdom of the “as above, so below, as within, so without” principle, we can empower ourselves with honest self-examination and reflection. When we view life as ‘soul school’, we can approach the process of change and growth as an opportunity to play with these universal principles. After all, when we play we raise our vibration, and thus our lives. And by lifting ourselves up, we are contributing in that way to the larger whole. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #healers #witch #witchy #witchytips #witchesofinstagram #wild #innerwildness #spiritual #awakenyoursoul #spirituality #wicca #wiccan #pagan #consciousness #cosmicconsciousness #awakening #goddess #goddesswithin #divine #divinefeminine #vibration #meditation #chakras #chakraalignment #enlighten #empath #spiritualgangster #raiseyourvibration #lifepurpose #highvibrations

  • As transformers and travelers through elemental landscapes, frogs serve as fascinating creatures and guides. Like humans they live on land. However, unlike humans they live a dual life in water and land, immersing with ease into the underwater realms, reminding us to use the gifts born of our emotional lives. With highly permeable, moist skin, frogs are able to absorb information, elements, sounds, feelings, and nutrients, creating an on-going exchange with their environment. In this way, frogs remind us to create connections, receive emotional sustenance, and turn it into wisdom that dictates our actions. ⠀ When we take guidance from frogs and receive information from the outer world into our bodies; we are creating threads of connection between our inner and outer worlds. This requires full presence with our personal feelings, which is a beautiful form of self-love. This is also true with the outer world. When we feel the emotions of another being, we are getting to know them by sharing their experience with them. ⠀ To further understand this, let’s look at the natural inclinations of a frog. Birthed as tadpoles and polliwogs, they first thrive in water alone. In this stage, they resemble little fish who swim with their tails and breathe through their gills. It’s not until later that they grow limbs and metamorphose into frogs who miraculously hop onto land and breath air through their lungs. As frogs seamlessly move between liquid and land, we notice their pattern of saturating, shedding, and breathing. By emulating frogs and learning how to walk between worlds, we can create deep connections that inspire compassionate action for ourselves and others. Here are 4 simple steps to help you work with the power of emotions: ⠀ 1.Feel your emotions and the emotions of others by allowing them to create empathic connections that inform you. 2.Know these emotions through first hand experience. 3.Gather the wisdom, and retain it as the connection. 4.Use your breath to release the emotions when you are ready: inhale deeply into your body at the place where you feel the emotion: and exhale deeply as you imagine the wave of emotions leaving through the top of your head

  • Symbols are the emblem of mystery, sending us clues that offer us guidance and self-discovery. Symbols are constantly speaking to our soul, in dreamtime and daytime, whether we are aware of it or not. This found skull, for example, is sending us a message about teeth. To decode the message for self-reflection, we can begin by looking at three of the most common associations with teeth to see if anything resonates: ⠀ 1.Teeth can symbolize our ability (or inability) to chew on food and take in nourishment. Symbolically speaking, nourishment can be food, sleep, love, education, creativity - or whatever else our intuition might tell us. Seeing teeth might be a clue that we need more nourishment. ⠀ 2.Teeth can also represent the words we speak (or swallow), how we express ourselves (or not), and how our words (or lack of) influence ourselves and others. Finding teeth, or dreaming about them, may cause us to consider the power of our spoken (or held back) words, and the emotions behind them. Are the words we speak or suppress, funny, loving, complimentary, accusatory, sarcastic, angry, or protective – and do we need to make some adjustments? ⠀ 3.Symbolic messages can also be interpreted through puns. The animal skull in this picture, for example, could be perceived as “baring his teeth.” In which case we would ask ourselves – How does his fierceness relate to different aspects in our life. Here are some other puns to consider, related to teeth, which are up to interpretation and may lead to more symbolic discoveries. ⠀ *Sweet tooth *By the skin of my teeth *Biting off more than I can chew *Sink my teeth into it *Fighting tooth and nail *A kick in the teeth *Set my teeth on edge . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #bones #vultureculture #laloba #wildwoman #wild #witch #witches #divination #witchcraft #witchery #modernwitch #taroteverydamnday #traditionalwitchcraft #witchystyle #eclecticwitch #spirituality #greenwitch #healing #metaphysicalhealing #wicca #wiccan #crystalhealing #vibratehigher #crystals #witchtip #mystic #spiritualgrowth #witchinghour #spritualconnection #astrology

  • Mother Earth is a life-giving womb, akin to the body of a woman. The wind is her breath. The soil is her flesh. The rivers are her blood. And her bones are the stones. Enduring and strong, rocks, crystals, and gemstones are the ancient ones. These sacred ancestors are witness to history, each one holding their unique secrets of wisdom and time. Thus, stones have been worshipped for eons all over the world, through monoliths and manmade monuments like Bukit Kelam, Uluru, and Stonehenge. I’ve collected rocks since childhood, and countless times found myself carrying a heavy load home in my pockets or suitcase. Similar to rocks- crystals and gemstones are human allies. Different from rocks- crystals and gemstones grow in patterns of sacred geometry, each with a unique frequency. As such, crystals and gemstones are alive with energy that vibrates harmoniously, influencing everything in their atmosphere like a song. This is why I treat every crystal and gemstone as a sentient being, and enter into an intimate relationship with its visible and invisible essence, as well as its place of origin. The more I am fully present with each individual stone, the more we get to know each other in a two-way transmission of energy that helps us sync together as one. With my eyes I lovingly adore the stone. With my hands I hold, touch, and caress it. With my nose I inhale the aroma. With my intuition I listen to receive insights that guide me. If it’s the right size, I tuck the stone inside my pillowcase and sleep with it for a few nights. With some stonesI soak them in water and drink in their liquid essence. I also study the symbolism and characteristics of a crystal or stone’s shape, color, species, and birthplace (some are manmade in a lab!), because this deepens the conduits of connection between Mother Earth, her stones, and me. Everything in life boils down the quality of relationships we have between ourselves and another (be it a person, animal, plant, stone, element, place or thing). Thus, my relationship with crystals and gemstones is mutual. The more we know about each other, the more we expand together, emitting harmonious frequencies in our environment. 💎

  • Today, February 23rd, is a new moon. Whether you follow astrology or not, you’ve probably heard the phrase, “mercury is retrograde.” To decode, this basically means that as you set your new moon intentions this cycle, it would be brilliant to align them with the energy of planet mercury who is moving backwards in the cosmos, and pulling us with him. ⠀ Mercury goes into retrograde 3 to 4 times per year lasting about 3 weeks. During this period we are intended to slow down, return to the past, cultivate wisdom, and finish what we’ve already begun. For those reasons, it’s not the best time to start new projects or begin new relationships. Instead, try to re-lax, re-flect, re-visit, re-view, re-assess, re-lease, re-solve, re-organize, and/or re-do, because when we insist on powering ahead to the future, Mercury loves to intervene. That’s why it’s common during Mercury retrograde to experience flight delays, lost luggage, communication mix-ups, missed meetings, and broken technology. It’s Mercury’s way of saying, “not so fast.” ⠀ Mercury Retrograde is actually a very benign and highly supportive period, if we understand the retrograde energy and align with it. During Mercury retrograde, if you state several of your new moon intentions to begin with “re,” you will actually get more done and come out the other side with more wisdom, and a feeling of renewal. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #moon #newmoon #moonmagic #newmoonintentions #witchesofinstagram #witchtips higherconsciousness #consciousness #awakening #lightworker #spirituality #moonritual #magick #witchlife #crystalwitch #witchy #witchyvibes #crystalhealing #intentions #release #waterhealing #elements #pagan #mystical #consciousliving #meditation #wildfood #wildwoman #divinefeminine #luna #intentionsetting

  • When I feel overworked, one of my favorite ways to reconnect with myself, is to engage with nature through play. Letting go of all inhibitions, and immersing with pure joy and wonder brings out my inner child. It may seem silly or frivolous that I danced by myself in a long silk gown, in a river with freezing bare feet. But it was actually a very enlivening experience. In that moment, I was authentically wild and free, which raised my frequency and released the lower vibrations of tightness and exhaustion I had been feeling earlier that day. ⠀ No matter our age, the inner child exists within all of us. By relaxing and being playful as adults, we can reconnect with this essential, healing part of ourselves. Singing a nonsense song, dancing around the living room, or even playing a fun board game with young kids can be enough to loosen a confined part of ourselves, and enable rejuvenation. Here are some more ideas for reconnecting with your inner child.: ⠀ 1. What did you love to do when you were a child? Did astronomy fascinate you? Did you love to paint or draw? Or maybe you loved climbing trees and picking wild berries. Whatever it was you loved to do as a child, do it again. ⠀ 2. Do something unexpected. When you surprise yourself by changing a routine, it shakes up the stagnant energy and creates movement that will help you feel more expansive. This can be as simple as taking a new route to work, or wearing two shoes that don’t match. ⠀ 3. Ignore what other people think of you. Trying to please other people is exhausting. Instead, please your inner desire to fully express.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #innerchild #healing #innerchildhealing #witchesofinstagram #witchtips higherconsciousness #consciousness #awakening #lightworker #spirituality #moonritual #magick #witchlife #crystalwitch #witchy #witchyvibes #crystalhealing #intentions #release #waterhealing #elements #pagan #mystical #consciousliving #meditation #wildfood #wildwoman #divinefeminine #luna #intentionsetting

  • 🦨◼️◻️The most emblematic feature of Skunk is arguably her striking black and white fur. The polarity of her coat is a bold reminder that we live on the plane of duality and learn through pairs of opposites. Even our bright moon has a dark side! Yet modern society implies that if we show any sign of this darkness, there is something wrong with us. Quite the contrary. Sadness, pain, hope and joy are all equal teachers on the plane of duality. ⠀ The more we experience opposite ends of different spectrums (even those that are seemingly bad) and bring them together in harmony, the more confidence, wisdom, and direction we are able to gather. For example, how would we intimately know the crisp cool air of autumn, if we had never experienced a sweltering summer heatwave? Imagine our perspective if we were born and raised inside a thick cozy forest and never saw a vast open prairie. And how would we appreciate the fragile nature of an egg, if we have never broken one? Thus, as we experience the alluring black and white fur of Skunk, let it be a reminder not to neglect your dark side, but to wear it on your skin alongside the light, proud and unashamed of your wholeness.◼️◻️🦨 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #bone #boneart higherconsciousness #consciousness #awakening #lightworker #spirituality #moonritual #magick #witchlife #crystalwitch #witchy #witchyvibes #crystalhealing #intentions #release #waterhealing #elements #pagan #mystical #consciousliving #meditation #wildfood #wildwoman #divinefeminine #luna #intentionsetting

  • One of the ways the spiritual realm communicates with us is through animal bones – if we are open and receptive to it. Many people find animal bones when they are out walking or hiking, but in our modern world, it’s just as potent if bones appear in picture form. If you find or see a bone, the message might validate something going on in your life, or remind you that you’re out of balance with this symbol. Even if you are not able to interpret the message, the bone has a specific vibration and it has shown up to help tune you. When you open yourself to bone medicine, you’ll find, as I have, that we are all deeply connected to the animal kingdom and a greater mysterious life-force. ⠀ Here are some of the symbolic messages brought through bones: ⠀ Skull – Awareness, intellect, enlightenment, life force. Portals to the spiritual realm through the crown chakra and third eye. ⠀ Antlers and Horns – Protection and communication. Antenna for connecting with the spiritual realm. ⠀ Teeth – Spoken words and beliefs. Can be authentic, protective or aggressive (biting). ⠀ Jaw – Voice and chops. Thoughts, words, beliefs, and ideas we speak, swallow, or chew on. ⠀ Shoulder – Responsibilities, hard work. A shoulder to lean on. ⠀ Leg – Support, strength and stability. Grounded. Down to earth or dense. ⠀ Rib – Protection or cage. Rib cage. Ribs surround tender organs, specifically heart and lungs. Lungs represents the breath of life. Heart represents love and emotions. ⠀ Vertebrae – Backbone, courage, support, flexibility. Stand up for yourself or Kundalini rising. ⠀ Pelvis – Sex, creativity, passion. A portal to the spiritual realm. ⠀ Tail – Balance and communication. Animals communicate with their tails and use them for balance when they walk, run, turn, and sit. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #bone #boneart higherconsciousness #consciousness #awakening #lightworker #spirituality #moonritual #magick #witchlife #crystalwitch #witchy #witchyvibes #crystalhealing #intentions #release #waterhealing #elements #pagan #mystical #consciousliving #meditation #wildfood #wildwoman #divinefeminine #luna #intentionsetting

  • 🌿For much of my life I’ve been in a relationship with nature that some might call unschooling. Every day something in nature spontaneously catches my attention, compelling me to dive in deep and explore it with all of my senses. Motivated from a place inside of me, this has become a reverse learning process, completely different from the traditional education I received, preschool to graduate school. In this child-like state, I lose all sense of time, space, and obligation to others, as I purely follow the thrill of a great mystery. This walnut tree is a good example of my unschooling. In a state of constant wonder over her life and ways of being, I have personally experienced her nuances in all seasons, as she shifts, transforms, influences, and interacts with the nature all around her. In the spring and summer when she’s bushy and full of leaves, flowers, or fruit, I admire her spicy perfume and colorful beauty. Early mornings and evenings are ideal for watching a bevy of birds gather upon her branches. Spurred to observe the different species, I intuitively study and sense their sizes, shapes, colors, songs, calls, and behaviors. It wasn’t until I watched the squirrels harvesting her fruit, that I realized walnuts have a leathery green husk on top of the shell! Nor did I know how much gnawing the hard, brown shell requires, before a squirrel can get to the nut. Although the vitality of the sunny seasons is enlivening for me to integrate with, it is during the fall and winter seasons that I do my deepest work, connecting with the bare bones of this tree, as I climb and nestle into her curling arms. Enraptured by the beauty of her relative stillness, it tunes me into the present moment, and I receive the benefits of a meditation.🌿 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #bonewoman #spirituality #fullmoonritual #manifestations #spiritualbeing #higherself #soulguidance #divineunion #soulcoach #fifthdimension #spirituallifecoach #soulcoach #intuitivehealer #expandingconsciousness #soulwork #aligned #raiseyourvibration #positivethinking #spells #spellcaster #wiccan #witchytips #traditionalwitchcraft #projecting #witchyways
