Cork Planters | Carved Chalices!
If you have limited space, or you enjoy tiny versions of pretty things like the goblins we are, cork planters are the perfect option for you!
I typically use a pocket knife to carve out the hole, and then a dremel to smooth the edges and/or make a creative design! The nails are typically used for stability. Remember to use succulent specific mulch or potting soil!
I also enjoy carving mini chalices like above, especially for my altar! You can add all sorts of things inside, like herbs, succulents, salts, crystals, etc! Whatever your deity/ies may desire.

I call on you Fox
Shapeshifter and Trickster
Edgewalker and Messenger
Help me blend with my surroundings
And adapt to the changing landscapes
Show me the hidden paths between Worlds
Teach me the way of Invisibility and Camouflage
Gift me your keen senses
That I might see more of what is around me
And use it to accomplish my goals.
I call you dear Fox
To bring Magic and Discernment into my life
Let us walk the boarders between Day and Night
And follow the scent of Divine Mischief
Fox, I call on you

perhaps, soon, i will be one with nature.
where i've always belonged.
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.
me, crushing crystals: yes, perfect for charging spells!

self care is going into a thrift store and buying random items that work well with your craft. jars, bowls, candle holders, spice shelves, otherwise nonwitchy objects that can easily be personalized. i've bought some of my most favorite alter items from thrift stores.
it's a surreal feeling. and i wanna feel it again.
mushrooms are forest babies, sacred and protected and loved. respect them. they are a powerful tool.

and i need to address a few things, as well. i'm a pretty neutral page, and being uplifting to those just starting out in their practice is something i enjoy doing. positivity and encouragement is extremely important.
i've been seeing a lot of "you're a real witch when___" lately
no. just no.
you're a real witch regardless if you're self sufficient or not. look up spells if it's needed, find a mentor if it's needed, educate and find yourself with your pace. it does not mean you're any less.
you're a real witch if you don't have a grimoire, or you don't have your spells memorized.
you're a real witch if you fall into depression and find it hard to practice. make sure your deities know this, find little ways to keep them happy.
you're a real witch, regardless of race, sexuality, whether you're just starting out or you've been practicing for years.
you're a real witch if you're not gatekeeping.
don't discourage our young witches. they need reassurance too. there is no wrong or right way to practice, as long as you're aware of which practices are closed and shouldn't be used unless you're from that heritage.
you're a witch, period. stop telling people that they have to fit a certain criteria to be a "real witch"
