My website is live!

Image
 I have been working diligently to create a website, with items that I know people will love. I'm also open to custom orders and suggestions. If you want more details on what's going on, and new updates, join the email list on my website, here: https://elementsofwhimsy.square.site/ I am also on Facebook: http://facebook.com/elementsofwhimsy And on Instagram: @elements.of.whimsy There's plenty on the site to order now. All shirts are under $20, even sizes with multiple x's in the sizing. Previously, I was able to make the prices for multiple x sizes the same as all other sizes in shirts. Now, I am unable to, but I go the lowest price point I can for these, because I believe all sizes should cost the same. I don't judge people for their bodies, and most clothing outlets here in the US utilize outdated sizing forms anyway. You're charged more for a more natural body shape and size, which is also subsequent body shaming. I do *not* subscribe to this, so I do the bes...

Full Moon Rising

Image
  Full moon list for 2023 (I am not the artist and couldn't find credit for this image, as I found it shared widely on Facebook. If the artist comes forward, I will gladly add credit for your image!) Sorry I've been away for so long! Life took a very sudden, drastic and unexpected turn for me, which led to me uprooting my child and myself, and causing us to move back home with my mother. That being said, helping us reclaim our lives and heal from grief is helping me to reconnect with my path as a pagan, in the many eclectic paths that I wield and use in my path. I've started pursuing many different creative hobbies, and I want to start documenting them in their own respective blogs and on Instagram. I've decided to focus this blog on affirmations, pagan knowledge, and tools for life, such as it is. I hope to earn your following for this blog, and possibly, a following for my future ventures. 🌙

Intuitive Reader series

Image
Hey all! It's been a minute since I wrote an entry here. A lot has gone on, but I feel like we are heading on the path toward improvement. That being said, I'd like to start posting here weekly about Tarot, and how I read them. I am an intuitive reader, which means each reading will be different, and there will be elements within the reading that are not in the card's "typical" definition. I'll start first with the Major Arcana, launching this series probably next week. Please feel free to ask questions, but I also reserve the right to not answer any questions that I feel are uncomfortable, inappropriate, trolling, or attempting to show off or upstage. There's no need for any of that. We can all co-exist together.

Blessed New Moon!

Image
The New Moon offers many alignments this time. It's the 2nd in a month, so it's called a "Black moon". There is a partial eclipse today. It's the day before Beltane, which is the thinning of the veil opposite Samhain. This moon is a time of new opportunities, powerful energy for moving forward or starting new projects, or releasing things that no.longer serve you.

Blessed Moon!

Image
It's the Full Moon today, so, of course, mental states can appear fragile. My animals have been very unlike themselves and getting into mischief, and I keep feeling that something is coming that I hope will improve things. Mystically, this moon feels full of promise, and is a good time to let loose any spells you've been preparing since the New Moon. Collect water in a glass or clear container and let it sit out to gather the moon's energy. This water is great at cleansing, charging plants (especially ones that bloom at night), and being used in manifesting spells. Tips for dealing with tumultuous moons: Stay hydrated! It's a good reminder to top off your water levels. Go with the flow. The entire ocean is moved by the moon's gravity. Sometimes, it's easier to just look around and take stock of things. Don't go off the deep end! Emotions can run high during this time. Cool your jets, take extra time if you need to, so you can stay calm. Don't...

Toxic Positivity

Image
Toxic positivity is a thing. Positivity culture attacks people with neurodivergence directly, and assumes no responsibility for its harm. It also diminishes on a racial bias, demoting the power of shadow work, which is practiced intricately in some forms of Shamanism or cultural spirituality outside of western culture. It is also a practice in and of itself, which is a necessary part of healing from abuse, PTSD, grief, mental illness and trauma. Focusing solely on one aspect of life experience to drown out, diminish or devalue all others poisons the mind. (Don't say anger. Anger is a valid emotion. All emotions are valid.) We are not meant to only be "happy" or "positive". We are not batteries. Life, for sentient, feeling, expressive beings, is meant to be more than "positive" and "negative".
