it doesn’t feel like halloween
the energy tonight is so intense. cherish it, work with it, and most importantly, respect it.
this type of energy is rare. remember to light a candle to honor the blue moon, amidst whatever else you have planned for tonight.
happy samhain ✨🕯️
☽ Moon Water ☾
The dew of the morning spreads across every surface, sealing the magical charge of the moon inside.
For those in the front line, risking your lives every single day to ensure that black voices are heard— I stand with you. You are brave, you are change, you are revolution. Be safe, be smart, cover your identifying aspects, research ways to counteract police attacks safely. Use sigils, use protection, BE protection. We see you, we hear you.
For those that cannot be there in the protests, I urge you to be loud. Share verified information, donate to organizations that contribute to the cause, support your local black owned businesses (they need us more than ever), join the July 7th boycott. You are just as important as these protestors.
Witches, these protestors and the like need us. June 5th, on the full moon, there will be a mass casting. Do your part. Spell jars, hexes, jinxes, curses, sigils, candle lighting, whatever you can possibly contribute— I urge you to do it.
No Justice. No Peace.
We fight for the silenced.
BLM ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 ACAB
when the sea calls to you, you must listen— for every embodiment of mother nature has something to say. that pull you feel is only natural. embrace it, and she will grace you with yet another whispered secret.
bask in the light of the moon if you must, for she cares about you as much as you care for her.
Full moon thing that I noticed-
So we all know about episode 1 of season 2, right? The kids are running around the chandelier and everybody noticed the parallels: but what I saw was that they switched places!
Stolas is on the left while Blitzø is on the right.
Blitzø is now on the left while Stolas is on the right!
I think that this shows that when they first met it was Stolas seeking out attention and companionship from Blitzø, and now the roles have been swapped! Blitzø needs to confirm that Stolas truly is just using him so that he can avoid his actual feelings about the owl.
(This is probably a stretch, but please tell me what you think!)
I really appreciate the realness these characters have. The deal itself isn’t realistic other than something similar to fwb but the show allowing us to see why these characters act the way they do and how it changes how they see themselves and the world and their misunderstanding of each others words due to that (it’s inevitability) is so raw and real. I love how they’re getting space. Always liked stolitz but they never really knew each other, got to see and understand who the other really was so how could they have anything more than a crush on each other? It’s like since the fight they’ve started to interact with the real versions of each other that their pedestals of each other haven’t allowed. Not to mention the fact that the basis of the relationship IS really bad.
I especially love this about stolitz because you never see that ‘crushes and incorrect perceptions of each other to real feelings to dating’ progression in media. Or at least if not dating, understanding and growing from the experience. In my experience, lots of situationships or things that can develop into relationships don’t have this linear ‘they like each other then they date’ progression. Instead, like stolitz, it’s everything’s the same except for some key moments. In stolitz these are
Stolas can get hurt
the deal
stolas saving blitz and crew
OZZIES
full moon argument and gift of the crystal
now their convo in the hate party with verosika
(blitz only) Blitz’s trip
their first meeting as kids
their first meeting as adults
and these key moments need to be remembered to view the relationship holistically and ask “does this person have good intentions towards me?” or “do we work well as a couple?” “Is it worth staying together or making something more out of this?” etc
TO CONCLUDE
I like how real it is. I guess often relationships are smooth crushes that develop into something more real, but the reality for a lot of people is that at least before they sort out most of their issues, their relationships are probably going to be full of misunderstanding and miscommunication and pedestals like this. I hope the show deals with this concept well to set an example for people like me who have felt this way. LMK if you agree or your thoughts !
Beach at night with a full moon. Sunshine Coast, British Columbia, Canada. July 2022.
Edit: fixed the bad transcript of full moons from May to August.
A little witchy calendar to look forward to next year, since this one was a little bit.. cursed.
This lets you know about the full moons, new moons, wheel of the year celebrations and zodiac entrys, I hope you can use this to aid you on your practice.
THERES A SUPER FULL MOON RN AND IT'S BEAUTIFUL. IT'S SO BRIGHT
Shielding
Here’s a list of psychic shielding visualizations to help protect your energy and create a strong boundary against unwanted influences. These visualizations are useful for creating energetic shields that block out negativity, drain, or harmful influences.
These visualizations offer a variety of methods to create psychic shields that block out negative or harmful influences. You can use whichever one resonates with you or mix and match them depending on your needs!
Visualize a large, glowing golden bubble surrounding your entire body. This bubble repels negative energy and only allows positive, loving energy to pass through, keeping you protected and safe within.
Picture a reflective shield or sphere around you, like a mirror. Any negative energy that approaches you is reflected back to its source, while positive energy is absorbed and welcomed within the shield.
Imagine a brilliant white light radiating from your heart or crown, expanding out to form a protective shield around you. This pure, divine light blocks all harmful energies while keeping you connected to higher, positive vibrations.
Choose an element (fire, water, air, or earth) and visualize it forming a protective barrier around you. A wall of flames, a flowing water vortex, a gust of wind, or a strong stone wall will create an elemental shield that protects you from harm.
Picture a multicolored rainbow bubble surrounding you. Each color represents different layers of protection—red for grounding, orange for emotional balance, yellow for personal power, green for healing, blue for communication, indigo for intuition, and violet for spiritual protection.
Visualize an impenetrable fortress made of iron or stone surrounding you. This fortress is strong and unbreakable, keeping you safe from any external energies, attacks, or unwanted influences.
Imagine yourself standing inside a clear glass dome. The dome allows you to see and interact with the outside world but protects you from any negative energies or psychic intrusions that may try to enter your space.
Picture a soft, gentle shield made of feathers surrounding your body. The feathers absorb any negativity or harmful energy that comes your way, diffusing it before it reaches you and keeping your energy light and protected.
Visualize a shimmering spider web around you, made of strong, fine threads. Any negativity or harmful energy that touches the web gets caught and dissolved, leaving you unharmed.
Picture a protective shield made of your favorite crystal (like amethyst, quartz, or obsidian) forming around you. The crystal's energy amplifies your protection, keeping you shielded from harmful or draining energies.
Visualize a circle of protective flames surrounding you. The fire burns away any negative energy that tries to come near, purifying and protecting your energy from psychic attack or emotional drain.
Imagine yourself wearing a suit of silver armor, protecting your entire body. This armor deflects any negative energy or harmful intentions directed your way, keeping you safe from psychic harm.
Picture soft, silvery moonlight forming a shield around your body. The gentle but powerful energy of the moon creates a protective barrier, soothing and guarding you from unwanted energy or influences.
Envision a flowing waterfall surrounding your body, acting as a shield. The water continuously washes away any negative energy or psychic attacks, leaving your energy field clear and protected.
Visualize a brilliant diamond-like structure around you. Its multifaceted surface reflects and disperses any harmful energy that approaches, while its strength and clarity provide powerful protection.
Imagine a lotus flower blooming around you, its petals forming a protective shield. The flower symbolizes purity and peace, guarding you from any negativity while allowing you to remain calm and centered.
Picture a vast starry night sky surrounding you. Each star represents a point of protection, creating an infinite shield of cosmic energy that deflects negativity and keeps you safe within your own energetic space.
Visualize rays of sunlight forming a protective barrier around you. The warmth and light of the sun dissolve any dark or harmful energy before it can reach you, leaving you enveloped in warmth and safety.
Imagine an electric field of energy buzzing around your body. Any negative energy that comes close is zapped and neutralized by the electric charge, protecting your personal space from intrusions.
Visualize a cocoon made of silk threads wrapping around you. The threads are delicate yet strong, forming a protective barrier that shields you from any harmful influences while keeping your energy secure.
Picture a violet flame surrounding your body, burning brightly and protecting you from any negative energy or psychic attack. The violet flame transmutes negative energy into positive energy, keeping you safe and empowered.
Envision the wings of a phoenix wrapping around you, their fiery energy shielding you from harm. The phoenix’s regenerative power protects you and helps you rise above any negative or harmful influences.
Visualize your aura expanding outward, growing bright and strong. As your aura expands, it forms a protective barrier that deflects negativity, preventing any harmful energy from entering your personal space.
Picture a holographic shield that adapts to any threat, changing color and texture as needed to block negative energies. The shield responds automatically to any psychic attacks or unwanted energy, keeping you protected at all times.
Envision yourself standing in the center of an ancient forest. The trees around you create a natural shield, their roots and branches intertwined to protect you from external energies, grounding you and providing powerful energetic protection.
The moon be beautiful tonight (passed out before I could post lol)
When I get my period on a new moon I feel like I've peeked
Best combo:
Sitting outside + painting my nails + listening to lana + scrolling on Pinterest + drinking iced coffee
You can't tell me there's a better feeling in the world

🌞 SUN GAZING 🌞
A Spiritual Practice
A theme song for this post:
I DO NOT PLAGIARIZE, COPY OR REWORD ANY OF MY FELLOW SPIRITUAL BEINGS POSTS AND I DEMAND THE SAME IN RETURN.
A BONUS in this post : SUN WATER AND MOON WATER🫂⛅
Sun Gazing is an Ancient Egyptian practice where you stare directly into the Sun. But this can only be done at sunrise or sunset to avoid damage being done to your eyes from the UV rays.
Sun gazing does much more than just increase your energy. Sun gazing is said to decalcify and grow the pineal gland (3rd eye). Meaning you will feel more spiritually connected to the world around you.
This practice helps one feel more energized and free, so if you feel sluggish and tired all the time, be sure to try this out. Society has made us believe that the Sun is bad for us, when actually, if in reality, we harvest the Sun's energy properly, it can and will change our lives forever.
If you don't believe it, Try this practice for 7 days straight and just see the difference!
⛅ SUN WATER and MOON WATER 🌜
Now, I'm sure many of my spiritual readers know what Moon Water is. Some may even know what Sun Water is. If some of you are hearing this for the first time, I will explain briefly.
• Sun Water is the method of containing the Sun's positive energies into the water we drink or use for our spiritual practices by placing it outside exposed to the Sun.
• Moon Water is the method of containing the Moon's positive energies into the water we drink or use for our spiritual practices by placing it outside exposed to the Moon.
The steps are very easy and simple:
Fill up any container with Water (Bottles, A Glass, Tumbler, anything that can hold in water).
If you wish, you can even cleanse the container before filling it up with Water, with an incense stick or sage.
Place the container of water where the Sun's rays hit. The water in the container must be exposed to the Sun's rays. Also, you are only supposed to keep the water at any of the 2 allotted timings which I have given below👇
You can write down affirmations on a piece of paper, fold it and place it under the container if you wish to, as well.
Let the container be where it is till the time you must take it out, that is:
Early morning - 6:00 Am to 8/9:00 Am.
Afternoon to evening hours - 5:30 Pm to 7:00 Pm.
The benefits of drinking and using the Sun Water in our spiritual practices are the same as the benefits of Sun Gazing.💖
.
Again, The steps are very easy and simple:
Fill up any container with Water (Bottles, A Glass, Tumbler, anything that can hold in water).
If you wish, you can even cleanse the container before filling it up with Water, with an incense stick or sage.
Place the container of water where the Moon's light touches the water. The water in the container must be exposed to the Moon's light.
You can write down affirmations on a piece of paper, fold it and place it under the container if you wish to, as well.
Let the container be where it is overnight and then you must take it out before the sun rises.
MOON GAZING IS ALSO VERY BENEFICIAL.
Moon Water is very beneficial for those who want to get in touch with their intuition more and become more spiritually energized.
Drinking Moon water can help one become more relaxed and in touch with their emotions and feminine side.
One can manifest and cleanse using Moon Water as well. It is the most recommended by witches. Witchcraft is a bland experience without Moon Water because Moon is the witches mother.
Without the nurturing of our Mother Moon, how can we feel the best in our spiritual practices? Hence, we first bow down to our Moon, who will always be our Soul Mother.
Thankyou for reading through this! I do hope you all enjoyed this short post!
I will see you in the next one, and yes, the tarot pile reading will come out soon...till then, I will be posting as usual❤️

EDIT: Mercury is stationed direct on Jan 1st, 2024. The source I used which stated it was in retrograde until the 18th had a typo.
EDIT: Fixed the zodiac signs for the full moons using a new source.
