Ready for autumn

Moody Tuesday

Strolling in Solitude

Brushing up on my Latin. Todays phrase is, “Per Aspera Ad Astra,” which translates to "Through hardships to the stars.” It embodies resilience and the journey through darkness to find one's own light, and I hope it resonates with you 🖤

In shadowed realms where dread holds sway, Death's hourglass marks time's decay. Yet within the dark, a glimmer shines, A spark of hope, where courage aligns. 4.4.24

Switched up my hair for springtime.

Full Moon in Libra Ritual for Release Items Needed: 1. White candle 2. Piece of paper and pen 3. Small fireproof bowl or cauldron 4. Stick of Palo Santo 5. Clear quartz crystal Preparation: Begin by setting up your space in a quiet and comfortable area where you won't be disturbed. Light the white candle to symbolize purity and clarity. Light the Palo Santo to cleanse and enhance the atmosphere. Hold the clear quartz crystal in your right hand to amplify your intentions. Reflection: Take a few deep breaths and center yourself. Reflect on what you wish to release or let go of during this full moon in Libra. Write down these thoughts and feelings on the piece of paper, being as specific as possible. Invocation: Close your eyes and visualize the gentle energy of the Libra full moon bathing you in its soft light. Call upon the energy of balance and harmony to guide you in releasing what no longer serves your highest good. Speak aloud or silently affirm your intention to release these burdens. Burning Ceremony: Safely light the piece of paper with the candle flame and place it in the fireproof bowl or cauldron. As the paper burns, visualize the negative energy being transformed into light and released into the universe. Feel a sense of relief and liberation wash over you. Closing: Once the paper has turned to ash, extinguish the flame and allow the bowl to cool. Thank the moon, the elements, and any deities or spirits you invoked for their assistance in this release process. Express gratitude for the lessons learned and the space created for new blessings to enter your life. Grounding: Take a moment to ground yourself by placing your hands on the earth or holding the clear quartz crystal again. Feel the stability and support of the earth beneath you as you integrate the energy of your release spell. Closing: Blow out the candle, signaling the end of the ritual. Carry the intention of release with you as you move forward, knowing that you have cleared space for positive transformation and growth. Remember to always practice fire safety and mindfulness when performing any kind of spell or ritual. Trust in the power of your intentions and the supportive energy of the full moon in Libra to guide you on your journey of release and renewal.

Before dawn, I seek solace in the cemetery's silence. Among the mist and shadows, I walk softly, communing with the spirits of the departed. As light breaks, I depart, carrying their quiet strength within me.

In shadows deep, where whispers lie, A siren's call beneath the night sky. Darkness dances, a velvet cloak, Obsidian dreams in tendrils smoke. Moonlight kisses pale, icy skin, As passion's fire ignites within. Lips of crimson, a velvet touch, Entwined in secrets, we clutch and clutch. In the realm of shadows, we find release, Lost in the labyrinth of desire's increase. With every sigh, our souls entwine, In this gothic fantasy, you're mine, all mine.
