Beach items and magical uses
Driftwood, endurance, strength, transformation.
Ocean porcelain, protection, hexwork.
Mother of pearl, relaxation, intuition, gentle protection.
Sea glass, scrying, concealment, clarity.
Sea shells, a variety of purposes depending on the shape, color, and type of shell.
Snail shell, cycles, sacredness.
Mussels, protection, intuition.
Beach feathers, can have different meanings depending on type of bird and locations.
In some areas sailors considered certain birds lucky and others to be unlucky depending on the folklore of different areas. I have read seagulls to be both lucky or unlucky depending on the author of such articles.
It has been said that beach feathers can represent luck, abundance and further along those lines when combined with hex associated items, sharp items, darker color, baneful items such as mermaid’s purse, can represent anti luck or prosperity.
Which brings me to my next beach find,
Mermaid’s purse, strong protection, hex work, fertility.
Beach rose, love, attraction, compassion.
Pearl, magic, prosperity, what is hidden, secrecy.
Any beach find, it was said in sailor lore that taking along a bit of the land with you could aid in a safe voyage. Similarly having a piece from a specific beach, lakeside or other location can hold a strong connection to that place. Items in a place may hold energy of that location. In a way then taking a natural item along from close to home can aid in traveler protection. Beach pebbles are great to have on hand when out looking for your sea witch treasures. Pick up a pebble and take it along with you on your walk on the shore.
Sea Oats, protection, strength, prosperity.
Seagull feather, clarity, resourcefulness.
Sharper ocean glass, can be mixed with broken sea tile for hex work. These items changed by the water signify the power of the sea to cause damage, and can be significant for curse work.
Flat beach stones, stone effigies.
Shells, can be utilized as spirit vessels.
Clam shell, protection, hidden knowledge.

💖 The guide to becoming my dream girl 💖
Inspired by @2pretty✨
Because I got to the party late, I will be starting tomorrow, June 5th.
My dream girl focuses on bettering herself through her mental and physical health, her finances, and her studies. She prioritizes herself and ensures that she is stress free. She stimulates her mind by reading, studying her courses, and learning new things every day (no matter how big or small). She has a strict daily routine and practices self-discipline in all aspects of her life.
How I see my dream girl:
1. She is organized and maintains a clean and respectable living area and workspace.
2. She refuses to leave the house if she does not look put together and ensures she always looks stylish and feminine whenever she walks out the door.
3. She focuses on her mental health and heals her past traumas, so they do not affect her present, nor her future.
4. She tries to eat as many plant-based/whole foods options as often as possible and exercises regularly in order to enhance her physique.
5. She takes care of her outer appearance and has a strict beauty regimen.
6. She practices her spirituality regularly and is close with Mother Earth.
7. She studies hard and regularly in order to get good grades and maintain her scholarship.
8. She allows herself to learn things outside of her formal education by reading a new book each month, attending webinars, and learning about both sides of potential controversial topics in order to learn different people’s perspectives.
9. She ensures that she is financially stable and thriving by investing and utilizing her money wisely.
10. She does not let anything hold her back from achieving her goals and regularly works on her self-esteem in order to improve her self-confidence.
11. She socializes and spends time with friends and does not give time to anyone who does not positively influence her.
12. She explores herself mentally and spiritually in order to ensure that she is in tune with herself and her soul.

Whimsigothic Room Decor
framed presses flowers, and dried flowers hanging from string are also lovely
quilts! they have so many beautiful colors and designs in them and last a long time
tapestries with cellestial themes are always beautiful
any kind of stained glass pieces will fit in wonderfully
dried orange/citrus garlands
so many books! especially hardcovers
candelabras and some wall-hanging candle holders (they're everywhere in thrift stores). really just cover every surface with candles
old, dark-looking painting that portray plants are also great and readily available
mirrors help make rooms look larger and so are great all-around. look for mirrors with older-looking frames that have either dark-stained wood, or are black or gold
velvet, floor-length curtains are also a staple of the aesthetic
velvet throw pillows would fit in nicely
basically anything sun, moon, and star-themed will be perfect
crystals are a must-have, but if you don't have access to any a rock collection is just as cool
if you're a witch, consider making a besom and giving it a special place to stay
hanging plants are also fantastic, and if you don't have a green thumb you can find fake decorative plants almost anywhere
throw blankets are also a lifesaver for any furniture that might not fit perfectly
clawfoot-style sitting chairs are generally fairly affordable goodwill and other stores like it
