Faerie Offerings

Remember to leave offerings to the Faeries this time of year! 

The Solstice is filled with very ‘festive’ energy when it comes to the Fae. They tend to be quite a bit more palpable and there are oftentimes more sightings and more overall activity as well. 

Given their generally mercurial nature, it is wise to keep on their good side!  Whether one works with them specifically or just recognizes and acknowledges their existence, showing good intentions and respect is always important. 

This midsummer’s eve I gave a plate of fruit, cheese, and cinnamon buttered bread 😍. Cream and honey, or even a little good liquor also works!  

Then I spoke from the heart in a simple and sincere way.. 

“I offer you this food, in honor and respect. May there be peace and friendship between us.”  Then I placed the offering underneath a favorite tree of mine. Later that night, I am all but sure I too had a sighting! 

Solstice blessings are all around right now 🦋 Be smart and share the goodness 🧚💞🧚

Crystal of the Week~Unakite

I’m all about balance right now! Anything that can assist with bringing myself into a place of better balance is top on my list. So I wanted to share a crystal that is helpful with this. 

This is a crystal that promotes harmony and balance which can help you understand that being happy doesn’t have to mean sacrificing success and growth.  It can also assist with having the mindset to stick with the things you find challenging with the promise that a new beginning is right around the corner.

Unakite promotes balanced emotions and clarity, which can be helpful when dealing with situations that seem to have no right or clear answer. It is filled with Earth power.  The grounding energy of earth can help to  guide you through the tough times in life with assuring confidence.

It emanates vibrations of joy, hope, and achievement. These energies will reach throughout your home, helping to create a happy atmosphere that is full of inspiration and optimism of what the future may bring.

Unakite assists with recovery from a major illness. It is also believed to treat the female reproductive system and help with healthy pregnancies.

It can increase courage and help with taking control of your life. This stone can help to transform your negative energies into positive and beneficial energies. All of this comes together for enabling powerful manifestation potential. 

You can wear it as jewelry or carry a loose piece in a pocket or somewhere on your person. Crystals can be most effective when they’re as near us as possible! 💕😍💕

Diets aren’t all about what we put in our mouths…

What about our mental diets? Have you ever stopped and pondered over what kind of thoughts we are ‘digesting’ day in and day out? 

Well lately I have and I’m realizing, more than ever, how much trash we tell ourselves! It’s unbelievable the endless judgements and criticisms that we impose on ourselves. 

This is (in a way) the equivalent of eating a mostly fast food diet. It has no value, no benefit, and no room for growing in a healthy way. 

So then I ask—why do we repeatedly do this? 

Because we don’t pay attention to it in a clear way. Our awareness is not present when we feed ourselves mental chatter that is garbage. We are merely carelessly binging on these junk food thoughts since we are used to it. 

If we want different then we have to move different. And if we want to feel better then we have to think better. 

Try it. Pay attention. Catch yourself when you’re thinking trash. Just recognize it and acknowledge that it’s not your actual truth. Then forgive yourself and smile. 😊 literally. 

This seemingly simple mental exercise is HUGE. It encompasses three essential fundamentals to any spiritual journey:

✨AWARENESS 

✨AUTHENTIC ACTION 

✨WISDOM 

And just the simple act of smiling is altering! It releases endorphins in the brain that make us feel good, shifts energies up, and can literally change our moods, even when we’re in a challenging place.  I didn’t believe it fully, tbh, but then I started trying it regularly... and, well, I was surprised to find I was wrong in my skepticism!

And I’m glad I was. It’s easy enough and another shimmering little tool in my witch’s toolbox 😁🧙‍♀️ xo
