arts and humanities subjects as study aesthetics:
archeology: curiosity, study snacks, staying after class to ask questions, lots of coffee, studying to learn rather than for a grade.
architecture: sunlight filtering in through circular windows, bookshelves, large domed ceilings, the sound of pencils scratching on paper.
art: converses, paintbrushes tucked behind ears, laughing in class, studying with friends, doodles in the margins of textbooks, studying simply because you enjoy the subject.
dance: minimalist study spaces, exercising to improve cognitive function, healthy competition with peers, the feeling of joy when your hard work pays off.
history: late night studying, mindmaps, being friends with all of the teachers, the most gorgeous study space you’ll ever see, herbal tea, piles and piles of notes.
languages: learning by immersing yourself in your subject, pieces of paper flying everywhere, determination, muttering the thing you’re trying to memorise under your breath.
literature: libraries, elegant (although a little messy) cursive handwriting, stacks of books, studying in front of a fire, round glasses, scribbling notes faster than your hand can write.
music: creativity, studying at the strangest times, naps, smiling at people from across the classroom, random inspiration for projects, liking your subject because it makes you happy.
philosophy: studying in a cafe, preferring to learn concepts instead of memorising facts, warm jumpers, quiet but intelligent, loving your subject because it makes you think.
theatre studies: the most colourful notes you’ll ever see, getting friends to quiz you to help your memory, loud debates, disorganised but still doing really well in school, grinning when you get a good mark.
theology and religion: congratulating people when they do well on something they’ve worked hard for, calligraphy, bullet journaling, helping others with their work, lofi music, absent minded daydreams between classes.

#2 Time management and Writing
#2 Time management and Writing
Hello My fellow artist.
Today I wanted to address something that I struggle with immensely.
TIME MANAGEMENT.
so let’s get right into this.
My first tip for getting your writing in. 30 minute intervals. I actually stole this one from my cousin who is a personal trainer. She told me that interval workouts are usually the most effective. So I figured that the same would go for writing. All you have…

# 1 writers life
# 1 writers life
Hello world.
I love to write. I truly do. Writing always seems to be the last thing on my to-do list. If only there were more hours in the day.
I work a full-time job, go to the gym every morning, and try to have some family time. (to be honest family time is more of me watching The Golden Girls and surfing the web.) My schedule tends to stay pretty busy. I get up super early to get to the…

This is Einstein. This is the first day I brought him home. The day he got his name. He’s either really smart or really dumb. He hasn’t decided yet.

Get a black cat they said. It will be fun they said. “This is not fun” I whisper to myself as I hold a high power flashlight to try to find my black kitten at 2am. Hint He was laying on my black comforter.

Gardens of the Witches
Already starting to plan this years garden so I thought I should do a post on Witch Gardens
Moonlight Garden
A garden that blooms in the moonlight, a great place to perform night time rituals, meditations, or to just take a midnight stroll. A garden that is full of magick even after the sun sets.
Plants to add in your moonlight garden:
Moonflower: (Ipomoea alba) A nocturnal relative of the morning glory. Has fragrant flowers that open at dusk and close by dawn.
Evening Primrose: (Oenothera biennis) Has beautiful, scented flowers that bloom only at dusk.
Night Flox: (Zaluzianskya capensis) A sweetly fragranced flower that only unfurls its pinwheeled shaped flowers after dusk.
Four O’Clock: (Mirabilis jalapa) Its scented flowers bloom at around 4:00pm (hence its name) and do not close up until morning.
Queen of the Night: (Epiphyllum oxypetalum) A species of cactus whose flowers only open at night. Attracts moths and bats!!!
Night Blooming Jessamine: (Cestrum nocturnum) Strong, sweet scented star shaped flowers that only bloom at night. Attracts moths and bats!!! All parts are toxic, do not ingest!
Angel’s Trumpet: (Brugmansia) Produces a strong scent on warm summer evenings. All parts are toxic, do not ingest!
Evening Stock: (Matthiola longipetala) Produces lots of small blossoms that produce a perfume described as a mix of vanilla, rose, spice, and cloves only after the sun sets.
Ever-Flowering Gladiolus: (Gladiolus tristis) Release a strong almond fragrance after dusk.
Lilac: (Syringa vulgaris) Although has a perfume during the day, it is said to be a lot stronger after dark.
Flowering Tobacco: (Nicotiana) Open in the late afternoon and have a fragrance that smells of jasmine. All parts are toxic if ingested!
Summer Snapdragon: (Angelonia angustifolia) Preferably in white, to reflect the moonlight. Has a scent apple-scented foliage.
Silvermound: (Artemisia schmidtiana) Has thick foliage that will shimmer under the moonlight.
Jack Frost: (Brunnera macrophylla) Hdeart shaped leaves of silver and green, perfect to add more highlights of silver to your moon lit garden.
Any plant that blooms after dark or has white, lavender, pale pink, pale yellow on it is a perfect addition to your moonlight garden.
Things to add:
Stepping stones that have the phases of the moon.
Fairy lights
A place to sit
Candles
A small fountain to sing along with the insects and birds of the night
String charms and bells on tree branches for a soft jingling every time a gentle breeze passes.
Herb Garden
For witches who need a more practical garden for uses of healing, tea crafting, drying, and growing plants used in their practices.
Plants to add to your herb garden:
