Feedback on Xournal++: I love the customizable pages, the handwriting is super comfortable and the ability to save in pdf is super handy, the file is quite light too
i had some trouble setting up the plugins to make up the keybinds, and the pen display is a little buggy, but i think the final result is quite worth the tiny struggles.
This will be specially useful with to the image insert tool, i can import tarot card images for my studies, create hand drawn mood boards and import some little arts to decor each book!
I'll for sure have one file for my grimoire and one shadow book for devotion work, but there are infinite possibilities: dream journal, tarot notebook, recipes book, herb notes, spellcraft, and each can have their own covers!
If any Witch out there wants the plugins I'm using for xournal++ just DM me and I'll send your way, this tool has a lot of potential for people like us!
Posted in a community but wanted to ask my followers as well:
I feel like keeping a digital Grimoire would be easier for me than a traditional, physical one (which i own, but i rarely feel the desire/patience/comfort to write on it)
My computer is my safe nobody else has access to, plus i own a display tablet that makes it easy to handwrite, so would anyone out there have journal app recommendations?
What I'm looking for is a Windows app, stylus compatible, that has handwriting/doodling features and AI free if possible!
Atm I'm testing xournal++ but i find the user experience a little bad (a shame, bc it checks all my boxes above in terms of journalling)
If you have an app/know of something interesting please comment or reblog, I'd love to know!
May the Gods bless you day/night! β¨
Small offerings are enough β¨
A while ago I got a small to medium rosemary plant, I've been feeling like caring for plants. I have special interest for the ones I can do infusions and curing, prefer aromatic and ornamental plants rather than flowers, but the most important of all, I was trying keep the plant alive because unlike my mom, I do not have that green thumb (and she'd take over in case the plant started getting ill)
The first sprout I harvested would be offered to Hekate, as it was Her the responsible for my awakening, so I left it by my altar to dry.
Once considerably dry I burned it in Her honor, along with music that chanted Her name, expressing my gratitude for so many blessings in a very personal and warm moment.
Where I live, with my parents I'm unable to follow certain traditional rites to their core. The best place to contact Hekate is on crossroads, where people leave their tributes or the leftovers of their crafts (with ecological consciousness). At the moment I can't really go in and out bringing offerings, so I fight with the weapons I have available.
But how do I know the offering was successful, that it was received and pleased Lady Hekate like I intended to?
First of all, putting your intention, wherever you are, will be the fuel the offering needs to achieve its destiny. Second, you will feel that not only said offering completed its course but also that it pleased (or not) the deity you want to contact.
As I've read on an older Hekatean devotee's testimony, Hekate is a subtle Goddess, her signs are deep and not at all noisy.
For me, the message came as an incredible sense of peace, happiness and realization, that small moment of connection made me feel like that's what I was born to do, how I wished to have awakened earlier in life as at the same time I'm grateful for having the opportunity to experience it now.
Rosemary is not Hekate's favorite herb, but it is my favorite, and what feels more special than being offered something that another person loves and desires to share with you? I think the Gods feel the same way, if your offer is filled with gratitude, positiveness, respect and strong intentions, it'll be appreciated.
Heya Hekate!
hi! are you offering free readings? if so, can i have one please? π·ποΈ my name is belle and iβm a libra. iβd like to know what my first (ever; iβve been single since birth πΊπ») boyfriend will be like? thank you sm! β₯οΈ
I - The Magician
This card is about taking action, as the Magician is someone who makes things happen I can tell your first boyfriend will be someone who will do what he can to have you by his side. The Magician represents someone very confident, skillful and hard worker, I dare to say somewhat impulsive. Look out for someone who will want to make the plans that you make together come true.
As it is your first boyfriend, keep in mind someone represented by the Magician, being confident in himself and his abilities, can be persuasive, manipulative, he's used to make things happen for himself, so you should also know your limits very well not to give in more than you can.
I wish you lots of luck and wisdom towards your first relationship, may it bring you much joy Belle π

Spiral Shell: XVII - The Star
In a relationship, this card points towards the beauty, pure and dreaming side of your relation, maybe yours or your partner. Have this as an invite to bring more inspiration and creativity to your relationship, be free to make plans together, to let your routine aside for once.
If you're single, this is a very positive card pointing someone great might be on your way, quite the good omen, don't stop dreaming of someone with good intentions.
Lapis Lazulli: XXI - The World
The circle on this cards represents its wholeness, maybe it's time to stop and admire all the way you've come along with your partner, nurture and cherish your relationship. If you are not quite there yet, great time to meditate and ask yourself: What's blocking your relationship from being whole?
If you don't have a partner and specially if you just got out of a relationship, the World represents also closing the older cycle in order for a new journey to begin, remember both your rights and wrongs so you can do better on your next adventure.
Moon Stone: XI - The Strength
This card is a great advise for any stage of a relationship, the Strength reminds you that no matter if the sun is shining or the storm is thundering, be like this lion, who could so easily break apart the rose in his mouth, but his self control and focus keep it safe in a gentle manner. If your relationship is not the greatest right now, practice handling things with patience and gentleness, it'll be easier for both parts.
Also practice your calm and self control if you're single, learn to hold your own roses with delicacy before harvesting someone else's, or else you might ruin a garden or have your own garden ruined.

If you enjoyed your advice, consider spreading the word to someone else! I have you have a blessed and delightful weekend π
Hello there, I am CM, and I would like to know how can I heal the wounds I have from my romantic rejections, and/or if I should contact a friend I am in a situationship with and tell them how I feel about the whole ordeal (since we reconnected, it felt on and off)
I get awfully triggered whenever I hear about romantic terms (like 'taken' or 'honeymoon phase') , and now even when my uncle, who's been single for many years, got a girlfriend, and my friends talk about relationships all the time (with some of them rejecting me).
Here I chose to make the classic Past - Present - Future spread that I felt fit the best your question.
Past: VIII - Justice
The sword in this card is no ornament, the Justice can be considered cold hearted as it knows how to cut strings with people that had injured it, this card does not work with second chances. An advice intrinsic in this card is not to repeat the same mistakes you did in the past.
Another strong trait from the Justice is its karmic justice, as per say, people should harvest what they sowed. Rest assured, those who have hurted you in the past will face their even consequences.
Present: VI - The Lovers
As for your present, the Lovers is a great omen towards your question about the situationship. This card talks about a great relationship in the horizon, one you'll build with very strong foundations, respect and love together.
This card, opposite to the Justice, suggests you'll be inclined to take decisions based on what appeals to your heart the strongest, so for now, let yourself love and be loved.
Future: XVI - The Tower
Remember when the Lovers told you to build strong foundations? When difficulties approach and try to tear your tower apart, those foundations will be the ones remaining afterwards.
This card talks about storms that will sweep away everything that is weak and unreliable, but leave behind those strong and sturdy base and roots you've built, still solid.
Followed by the Lovers, even if the structures are shook, you'll recover together. Remember, the Tower is also the card of reconstruction, your tower has fallen before but you've recovered, stronger and wiser.
Dear CM, I hope this insight was any helpful to you, good luck in your recovering and in whatever decision you choose to make π
Hi there! I hope you're having a great week :>
Can I please ask for a reading?
Question: What spiritual/psychic ability do I have that I'm not aware of and how can I enhance it?
Thank you so much! πΌπ
X - Wheel of Fortune
In the Wild Unknown's words: "It's possible to go for months or years without noticing its presence... but when this card appears, the eye of the wheel is fixed upon you."
I cannot tell you exactly what it is that you're feeling, but I can advise you to trust it, you'll start to see how things seem to fit whenever you listen to it. This card appears to encourage you and develop it, the universe it's doing its part, you shall take the opportunities, embrace these changes.
Find the spiritual path that fits you, learn from it, untangle the knots and you'll feel it's leading you towards your life's purpose.
Good luck in your journey, I wish you much wisdom π
Hi Latoya! Iβm S <3 I was wondering if I could have a reading on my future spouse/future relationships? Sorry if these questions get repetitive :(
I meet a lot of people but feel so disconnected from romance and dating, like the situation or person is never right. Iβd like to know what my future partner would be like, maybe in personality or their feelings towards me, and if there is any advice for me to make this work?
XIV - Temperance
This card represents balance between opposites, it's very likely you'll meet someone who feels totally different from you, but you'll make it work, getting the best from the other and learning to deal with your flaws.
One great assurance the Temperance can give is that everything happens at the right time, you felt it yourself, the right one shall come exactly at the right time and you should be ready to welcome this new love.
For now, practice yourself bringing more harmony into your life, fix what's messy, either your business, spiritual or personal life, when you least expect things will start happening.
Hi ! I'm new here and my lovelife is going downhill . .. Could you please tell me if I am gonna find someone or go back to someone from the past : ))
Lots of love <3
Everything points to new beginnings! Unless you've had incredibly fruitful past relationships, the ones you truly grow and cherish wholeheartedly, it's most likely a new flame is about to be lighted.
It'll come as lightning, unpredictable and explosive, the one that will create the flame, and it'll be up to you two care and nourish that flame for it to grow and stabilize, yet set boundaries so it won't burn you and everything around.
Most importantly, you'll have to let go of the past, accept what's broken can no longer be glued together, there's still people around you in the present, it's time to look ahead rather than back.
I wish you lots of wisdom in your path, Gods bless you β¨

You should try to stay in tune with what makes you feel radiant and creative, whether it's through arts, music, a sunbathe or a hidden message, welcome Apolo to assist you.
The clouds of confusion that have been hovering over will swap places with the shiny rays of clarity and order, you'll feel more centered and lucid just by allowing the light to enter.
Chocolate shell: IV - Mnemosyne
Mnemosyne is memory personified, she's not only Zeus' consort but also mother to the nine muses of inspiration. She comes to show how our memories can be a great ally and bring so much inspiration to the current moment. Something in your past might awake and provide you the extra gas or the answer to a question, be attentive to the symbols.
This week, work along Mnemosyne and pay attention to the voice within you, with extra care, take notes of all ideas you may come across this week, you'll make them happen eventually.
Pink shell: XL - Hekate
You might come across some hard decisions this week, an unavoidable crossroad is before you and demands a choice. You'll probably know what is the correct answer, don't be afraid to follow your heart.
Hekate invites you to acknowledge your wildest and untamable parts of yourself, the light is not the only place to find answers, much can be learned if we understand our deepest shadows and work with them. When facing the crossroad ask Hekate to light your way with her torches and be ready to choose a path.
