Merry meet everyone! It’s Woden’s day and the colour is the day is yellow, with the incense being lavender. Today’s Trust your Vibes oracle card is Listen to Your Heart.
Trusting your vibes is the art and practice of listening to your heart, for it’s there that the voice of inner wisdom speaks. It helps us focus on not only the content of information, but it’s intent as well. Every time you need guidance or simple reassurance from Divine Spirit, close your eyes, take a few deep -cleansing breaths, and place your attention directly on your heart. Allow your awareness to rest there quietly for a moment or two, then ask your heart to guide you. Trust whatever feelings happen. Don’t censor or discount anything. If nothing comes immediately, don’t worry. Relax. Remain Open and patient. Guidance will come before you know it.
Have a magical Wednesday listening to your hearts beautiful witches! Blessed be Lady Aphrodite ❤️
Hii friends - currently willing myself to sit through four hours worth of lectures on suturing. Basically which knots to tie and when. Kinda dull ngl, would much rather be learning about the surgeries themselves but I know every single bit of knowledge is a step in the right direction so I’ve got my bubble tea and i’m trying to pay close attention!
Also my driving instructor said I did good today hehehe. Next on the agenda after these lectures: draft my essay and edit a yt video on how I study!
Drop me any asks you have or comment or message me about how your day is going! I love speaking to all of you :D
Im dying my hair soon and i think its gonna die *pun intended* so i was researching benefits of oils to the hair and thought I’ll share :)
Essential oils are distilled from the plant itself. They have the signature scent of the plant they came from. And they’re highly concentrated. For instance, it takes 220 pounds of lavender flowers to make a single pound of lavender oil.
Carrier oils (such as coconut oil, jojoba oil, almond oil, and olive oil) also come from plants, but they have a more neutral smell. And they’re not necessarily distilled down like essential oils are.
Here are the benefits of some essential and carrier oils:
Almond oil soothes and moisturizes the scalp.
Cedarwood oil stimulates the scalp and promotes hair growth.
Chamomile oil adds shine and softness to hair, and soothes the scalp.
Clary sage oil promotes hair growth and stimulates the scalp.
Coconut oil softens hair and increases shine.
Geranium oil strengthens hair.
Jojoba oil moisturizes the hair, adds nutrients, and stimulates the scalp.
Lavender oil deep conditions the hair, keeps it shiny, and helps control dandruff.
Moroccan argan oil moisturizes, nourishes, and provides antioxidants to hair.
Rosemary oil stimulates the roots, improves hair growth, and increases circulation in the scalp.
Sandalwood oil helps with dry ends, and adds fragrance to the hair.
Make sure to always use essential oils with carrier oils!

Remember to use these oils sparingly and research them some more before using. If you take all the precautions and experience rash or allergic reactions, stop immediately. Other than that, enjoy your healthy hair! >-<
So I’ve noticed that during 2020 I became so melancholy and fractured at some points that currently my third eye and general spiritual awareness is borderline nonexistent. This, of course, can only mean one thing…
It’s time to break out my Astral Awakening tea again and get back into my meditation routine.
My tea recipe below is for more advanced practitioners and yes I am stating this for a damn good reason!! Two of the herbs involved in this tea have specific doses and several contraindications and one of them is psychoactive (although most places consider it legal since the effects are rather minor).
I cannot stress this enough: Always, ALWAYS! research each and every herb thoroughly before using, messing with, or adding them to literally anything! Even generally safe, common herbs such as chamomile can have contraindications (ie: chamomile should not be used by people who take blood thinners).
I have experience in this field. Years of it. I’ve done all of my homework six ways from Sunday. That is the only reason I personally even considered experimenting with more risky herbs and ingesting them.
But yeah now that that’s out of the way, here’s my Astral Awakening tea recipe to be used in conjunction with meditation to open your third eye and connect to the spirit realm!
- - - - - - -
Blue Lotus → ½ tsp. Devil’s Claw → 1 tsp. Cornflower → 1 tsp. Lavender → 2 tsp.
**This should be steeped for 5 to 10 minutes in a small pot with hot water.
Blue Lotus is the psychoactive flower. It has long been associated with the spirit world and the astral realm. It also opens your third eye chakra and assists with astral travel, lucid dreaming, and general psychic ability boosting/awakening.
Devil’s Claw is something I always throw in because it is an extremely powerful protection herb and very, very much wanted when you are in such a vulnerable state as leaving your own body. When projecting, traveling, or even lucid dreaming it’s always a great idea to have some kind of backup, be it a charm, a ward, or a protective herb of some kind. Since you never know how deep or far you’ll travel with this specific tea, I chose Devil’s Claw as my guardian since it is ultra protective and hella good at its job.
Cornflower is strongly associated with the Indigo Children and Star Children in general. It is also known for its influence with deeper, inner connections, spiritual connections, lucid dreaming, and astral travel. Where as Blue Lotus is more like a ship since it kind of just…detaches you and throws you into the unknown, you could say that Cornflower would be a bit more like the starry night sky. It’s a natural compass to guide you through your journey as long as you’re willing to pay attention.
Finally, Lavender is my round-out herb that, although it is also associated with relaxation, sleep, and dreaming, is also pleasant to taste and should keep your travels on the mellow side and aid in side-stepping danger in that regard.
If you ever made a dumpling, you gather the edges all together and seal the ends with plenty of room for the herbs to move. Boiling water to cup and seep for at least 5 minutes. Honey for sweetening. I learned to do this with loose tea growing up and it’s a little easier than a tea baller or muslin baggie (which I couldn’t find when I went shopping today). I’ve been having a cup at night and you can let it sit till it’s luke warm and the flavor will still be subtle. The lavender brings the other two together well and i didn’t need anything to sweeten it. If you want it stronger, just double the amount of herbs. Change it up however you like as this comes out as a very clean base, flavor wise.
I can say I’ve been waking up better in the mornings when drunk the night before. I only had 2 cups so far but i don’t feel as sluggish. Please check with your doctor and medication in case these herbs have any interactions that could affect your health.
