What’s up T?! It’s been a hot minute! I’m back from sabbatical - just in time for Harvest/Mabon. 🍁🍂
This time of year is always about change, but even more than usual for me this time… I just found out a couple of days ago that my landlord is selling the house I live in, which is huge to me because this house is where my kids and I rebuilt our lives after a lot of trauma. We’ve put a lot of love into it, and none of us feels quite ready to move on. But change is inevitable, as always, so we’re gently finding our way through it.
Moving house is crazy expensive, ofc, so I’ve been back at my art desk creating some new stuff - and I’ve decided to do a very limited run of these prints. There are just 20 each available of the altar cards (first pic) and posters, and I’ll be posting all orders next Wednesday so they’ll arrive in time for Harvest/Mabon. So if you’d like to help me find a new place to make home for my family, please do pick one up at the link below. Free postage to anywhere in the UK (and pretty cheap to the rest of the world, too!). Each print is made at home by me, using archival quality inks on heavy, acid free cartridge paper.
Okay, that’s all the shameless self promotion for now. Normal service of rituals and indecipherable handwriting will resume shortly…

Beautiful 12 minute meditation for anyone who’s feeling unwell atm. Have used this many, many times to cope with illness, pain and anything that has me chanting “this too shall pass” to myself!

🦀 How to use crab shells in witchcraft
Use them on your altar to symbolise the element of water
Use as a candle holder or offering bowl
Use in rituals for protection, strength, resilience, tenacity, transition or independence/self sufficiency
Hang them in doorways or windows as a protective charm (you can also paint sigils on the inside of the shell)
Use small shells (or shell powder) in spells bags, bottles and amulets
Use them as a focus point for a meditation/visualisation on change, life cycles or strength
Remember…
Crab shells have bacteria that can make you sick - boil them for 10 mins and clean them thoroughly with a stiff brush
Don’t be smashing crabs like a Vogon - vacated shells only, please!
If you forage them from a beach, take only one and only when needed - leave the others for nature
If you buy them, consider the ethical implications
When you forage on the beach, make an offering by litter picking as well
If you let them dry out too quickly, they will crack

A day late…some Hay/Buck Moon correspondences from the ol’ book of shadows. As always, the plants, herbs and names pertain to the UK where I’m based - your correspondences will likely be different. Pay attention to what speaks to you and what the world around you looks like in the current season - that’s where your correspondences will naturally come from.
The gorgeous Glasto drawing on the left is a card I picked up when I was visiting Glastonbury village back in spring (slight tearing courtesy of my four year old 😅).

Hang a “witch ball” at the doors of your home to symbolise protection and create a safe space. These are traditional glass fishing floats that you can still find cheaply in junk shops on the coast. I have this one hanging in my garden doors, and another above my front door.

Knackered old metal spice rack I found on the street + couple bag-for-lifes + previously sad supermarket herbs = happy, witchy herb garden 🌿

Did you know the UK has only one common variety of firefly (more often called glow worms here)? If you want to try and spot some, you might be lucky just after dark on June and July evenings, in most English counties. Try gardens, hedgerows and railway embankments. They don’t flash on and off like their US cousins, though! If you see any, just look, don’t catch - they’re increasingly rare due to habitat loss and light pollution.

Note to self:
Some days are for doing, and some are for being. It’s okay if you don’t work towards anything today. Run a warm bath, sit with your feels, daydream, ask your body what it needs, read a book, take a nap. It’s okay.

Tie bunches of herbs upside down for drying - in somewhere that gets lots of airflow but no direct sunlight. (This is the only time I don’t moan about my dingy, dark hallway!) These ones are giant flat leaf parsley stems.
