Re: What Makes Your Magical Practice Better?

The fall/winter months are my favored seasons as a quiet introvert (who can also be intense), since I feel most akin to the environment. Tend toward the extremes, with routine inside, and spontaneity outdoors. I do have an established setup on the altar, and seem to use a fair share of props/tools, ...

Re: Can you feel the year changing?

Yes, I can feel that the change is beginning, and try to take full advantage of the special energy. Most of the farm work is done, and hay stored in the barn for the year. The horses are growing thicker coats per shorter days, even if the high temperatures can still soar. The sounds of crickets are ...

Re: Fairy gardens

Well, why I delete... I am more hesitant to share, because it feels "weird" that posts/pics can stay on the front page for so long/years later. Probably just a personal superstition!

Re: Is being always happy good for you?

Well, I am not demonstrative and would hazard a guess that generally people assume that I am not happy- certainly not one with those huge grins all the time. I have many reasons to be very happy in life, but even so, I would say I am content. Being content is sustainable to me, highlighted by moment...

Re: VERY Important; Recieved Hex Letter in Mail, How To Disp

Freyja13, that is understandable. In the same situation, I would bury without wrapping, so everything degrades, beside a tree that I considered protective and strong. I would believe that the earth will absorb the energy, and the tree be asked to assist as an ally/guardian.

Re: Plastic or glass?

I try to avoid plastic anyway, but suppose the argument could be made for glass being able to contain better, since plastics can be permeable.

Perhaps it goes against the goal, but I might document with a picture before disposal, in case this is not an isolated incident.

Re: How do you label your practices?

I'd rather describe than label, but I would say I'm a believer in folk magic and the old-fashioned ways. I do not want to convey anything mysterious or spiritual about it, necessarily. It does not seem so out of the ordinary in a farming community to be somewhat similar- at least it is not totally d...

Re: They've found a mass in one of my dogs

That sounds like a very honorable way to help support Max spiritually. I often pray over my animals, repeating phrases using prayer beads. I also ask the ancestors of the animals to help give strength, comfort, and freedom of pain. Additionally, asking for my own guidance to help make decisions in t...

Re: Please help identify these?

Thanks Evil Ed! The side of the heart does show the typical scenic lines more. Agate vs onyx, I wondered about differences. I chose agate because of translucence and concentric banding. I've heard some people won't keep serpentine due to safety/asbestos. I'll update if they're inspected, but deletin...

Re: Stones to promote fertility?

I really like moss agate for fertility, pertaining to agriculture for me. Maybe try an egg-shaped stone in any case? Best wishes!

Re: Your Fave Deck/Spread and Why

The one that I always compare to, is the Spiral Tarot. I identify with the hermit, so always look at that card first. I also like how the majors and minors are so different in style, reinforcing the divide for me. I even like how they are slighly smaller in size. Finally, no card stands out- which i...

Re: Please help identify these?

Not sure if it's selenite, since I actually have a selenite egg. The pictures aren't the best, sorry! These were extremely cheap, so why leaning toward them being "generics".

Re: Storing of stones

I keep mine in bags mainly so they don't scratch each other, but also because I'm compulsive like that, that go into glass jars. Being near selenite is supposed to cleanse them, but it's part of the collection, so no effort made there. The tumbled stones free range in an indoor fountain.
