I dedicate September to Gaia, the Greek goddess of the Earth. Gaia is the mother of gods, mortals, monsters, mythical beasts, and all forms of life.

Instead of “meditate 20 minutes each day” – What is the core of why you #meditate? To calm your racing mind? Converse with Deity? Or simply listen to the universe? It may be multiple things! Which of these are the most important to you when time and energy may be limited?

In the beginning: breath—
and breath became sound,
and sound became form,
and form took your name.

You walk clothed in fire-script,
bones of meaning, skin of light.
You speak not to speak,
but to become.

The Word walks—
and it is you.

I get my crystals from my garden. 😄 My house used to be owned by someone with two major interests: native plants and pretty rocks. Wherever there’s a rock garden, there are interesting plants, and wherever there’s a plant garden, there are interesting rocks!
I stopped buying crystals from shops because I watched. Documentary and learned a major portion of foreign mines are run on slave labor.

That and the pollution created by mining destroys the local ecosystem ruining drinking water and it's just not a good time.

Lab grown crystals are the way to go

To the priestess and seeress,
To the mystic and poet,
To the healer and weaver of spells —
To you, my friends,
My sisters, brothers, kin
The task is given
As twilight looms
To hold the memory
Of a green shoot
Breaking the blasted earth.

The fashion house Fendi has sponsored a two-year restoration of the Grotto of Diana at the Villa d’Este, a Renaissance villa that belonged to a cardinal in the Catholic Church who decorated his vast estate with many depictions of classical myth.

For #magic for #printpromptmonday I've got this woodland tableau.

One of the world’s most chilling ruins is the Ploutonion at Hierapolis, otherwise known as “the Gate to Hell”.

Here crowds once watched priests lead animal sacrifices down into a cave, where they died mysteriously as if dragged down to the underworld. And no one knew how they did it until recently.

Hey #Witchsky
Alt text, or alternative text, is descriptive text that conveys the meaning of an image in content, making it accessible to people with visual disabilities. It is read aloud by screen readers and helps users understand the content and context of images when they cannot see them.

Hi! You're seeing this because someone noticed you posting an image that doesn't contain alt text. This is not a scolding! You are loved! But everyone needs to be convinced using alt text is socially mandatory. (I sure had to be shown the way as well!) Would you mind reading this🧵 about it and why?

If you're interested in theurgy, here's an easy way to get started:

First, select your favorite myth where the protagonist is victorious.

Then, design a ritual where you act out the triumphant climax of the myth.

Note how you feel and what you experience before, during, and after.

Hyssop is so healing for those who needed a mother when they didn't have one, or were neglected by their own.

She is this warm embrace of pure, unconditional love we all need. Our inner child craves this energy. Just pure forgiveness and acceptance 🖤
