Home is wherever your heart is. π
Reversed cards like to rain on your parade, delaying what is hoped for and dampening what is great. But not all of them are villainous. These ones are especially auspicious.
The ropes around you are loosening. Your liberation is coming.
Pain has been dealt. Grief has been felt. Sorrow can now begin to melt.
What is hidden will come to light. All will once again be clear and bright.
Conflicts are almost over. Furious minds and hateful hearts will soon feel sober.
What is delayed is now in position. Action will soon succeed stagnation.
A farewell to dullness and apathy. You will soon have a reason to be very happy.
Forgiveness will be given or received. Your agony will hence be relieved.
You survived or avoided a disaster. What awaits now are greener pastures.
The worst of it is over. From this moment, it all starts to get better.
There are no more reasons to worry. You can stop being scared and weary.
All that you lost and all that you lack are now, at last, on their way back.
Sympathy and gentleness will banish cruelty and recklessness.
Remove now your blindfold. What was once copper has been turned into gold.
The heaviness will lift. You will put down your burdens and set them adrift.
You are moving on from defeat. Enough of the bitter, and more of the sweet.

Because I love food and I'm also cheap. This is basically just my regular easy chicken soup recipe but with the magical associations included. It'll feed you for days.
What You'll Need:
One of those discount whole chickens from the grocery store (my boyfriend calls it a "used chicken")
Whatever veggies in your kitchen are starting to look sad and need to be used before they go bad (I recommend having carrots and celery in that mix tho)
Some extra celery/carrots for the final product (can come from the Sads if you need... pick the healthiest-looking parts.)
Pasta of your choice (I like penne)
A stockpot and strainer (another big pot should work too, but stockpots are best for holding everything/making the most at once.)
Salt, pepper, preferably dill as well + whatever other seasonings you want.
What to Do:
Take your used chicken, strip all of the meat from it, and put the meat aside. Put the carcass in the pot.
Add all of your sad vegetables to the pot. No need to be fancy with it, no need to peel anything. Shop an old onion into 4ths and add it skins and all. Leaves can stay on any celery. Chuck in some garlic, why not. I've added an old sweet potato before. Leeks. Rosemary. Whatever. Go be free.
Add some salt + pepper, cover the entire thing with water, bring it to a boil and then immediately turn the heat to low. Cover it most of the way.
Go do something else. Forget about it for at least four hours. If you want, you can occasionally go up to it and skim any foam off. Everything is steeping and blending, so the longer it goes the better it gets. (Remember the water will cook down though, so don't leave it forever.)
Cook your pasta al dente and set it aside at some point.
Once you're ready, strain the broth into another vessel and discard your sad broth vegetables. Thank them for their service.
Put the broth back in the empty stockpot and bring to a boil. Chop your happy vegetables to whatever size you want to eat them at. Add any vegetables like chopped carrots that need to cook longer than other veggies. After a few minutes add the rest. Once everything is at a good level of This Won't Feel Weird to Eat, put it on way low again!
Add everything else. That means salt, pepper, dill (I like dill. Add too much dill.) seasoning powders, chicken meat, and cooked pasta. Steep it for a little so the broth flavor can soak in, but you don't have to do it for as long as before.
EAT IT! You have soup now! Yay! Eat a bowl now and save the rest for later. It'll last you a while. (Pasta will get bigger/softer over time but that's fine, it's still good.)
Boil some water. Add chicken bouillon cubes, salt, pepper, dill/whatever seasonings, and a tiny splash of oil. The oil helps it look/feel more authentic without needing to steep the chicken carcass.
For even faster broth, you can even use boxed chicken stock and skip the bouillon. I find chicken broth tastes kinda different and gross, but it'll work in a pinch and you might not mind it as much as me.
Naturally, whatever unique vegetables you add will have their own correspondences, so I'll just list the recommended base ingredients:
Chicken: Lasting love, household harmony, abundance, luck, prosperity and general well-being
Celery: Lust, mental/psychic abilities, clear-headedness/focus (especially for decision making)
Carrot: Lust again, abundance, creativity and psychic awareness
Dill: Luck, money/employment, protection, knowledge and decision making.
Chicken Soup Itself: Health and vitality is the big one (probably obviously.) It's basically folk penicillin. I think it also carries associations with love (especially familial) and household harmony for exactly this reason. Based on the other associations, I could also see it being good for helping make important decisions with a sound mind.
Enjoy! Let me know what you think!

honestly, if you donβt know why something is part of your craft, maybe it shouldnβt be there.Β
if you donβt understand why you cleanse a space, why are you doing it? are you cleansing away something that might be necessary to that space? if you have no connection to the wheel of the year, why celebrate the sabbats and esbats?
there are so many witchcraft resources and books that will just dump a whole load of unsourced things into your craft, and when youβre just starting you might feel like you need to build your craft up quickly, take on all these things. but itβs important to examine every aspect of your craft, whether itβs deep research of a few minutes of contemplation.Β
if you donβt know how it got there, or if it should even belong there at all, maybe you need to marie kondo that shit
