mossofthewoodsjewelry: Jacob’s Ladder (Polemonium reptans)...

Jacob’s Ladder (Polemonium reptans) Prism Giveaway!
Hey folks, I’ve decided to do another small giveaway for another slightly flawed prism, this time a Jacob’s Ladder (Polemonium reptans), whose only flaw is that it’s leaned a bit off-center in the resin.
This prism is a completely handmade desk light, containing the floral sprig embedded in a 4″ long obelisk of crystal clear glass resin, along with an LED light that can be switched on and off via a twisting switch on the bottom, and mounted on a 3D printed wood base (a mesh between poplar wood pulp and a plant-based polymer). The result is a prism-like refracting effect as the light filters out through the angled resin and through the specimen itself.
To enter:
Reblog this post to enter (likes and nice replies are always appreciated but don’t count towards entry
Tag your post as “entry” (please use the tag function or your entry cannot be counted. Putting #entry in the responses or replies won’t count. I pull names through the tag viewer to filter out bots and those that didn’t read the rules so only tags count)
Multiple reblogs count but excessive, spammed entries or obvious entries to a giveaway blog will be discounted
Winner must be 18+ or have explicit permission from an adult for entry, and also have messages open.
International entries are okay but please be prepared for a much longer wait time on your prize and/or possible VAT fees, if applicable in your country
I’ll be drawing a name Thursday, June 28th at around 9pm EST
If you’d like to buy a prism for yourself, I have more available here!

Friendly reminder to check you’re not holding tension in your body. Let your shoulders drop, unclench your hands and jaw. Take a deep breath. Much better.

Witch Tip
When I finish a candle spell with votives, I put my lips really close to breathe out the flame with the words “so mote it be.” Just another alternative to simply blowing out the flame

S - 2 habits. Can you share your 2 favourite habits? :) And additionally 2 new habits, that you start doing from this year and you are happy about. Thank you :) Have a nice day!

Mon, 25 Jun 2018 23:29:57 -0400

This is such a different question…. I love it! Time for some self-reflection. Two of my favorite habits would have to be that I instinctively take care of those around me and I drink water over most other things. I am very nurturing without a second thought. I am the mom friend, for sure, haha. I also just really love water. Two new habits that I started doing this year? Yikes… Haha, probably that I have learned to enjoy cleaning and I now try to find new ways to spice up my cooking without a second thought. Thanks for asking!

Love and light,

~ Bre

P - What kind of music I like. :)

Mon, 25 Jun 2018 23:04:13 -0400

Man, is this a good question, haha. I love a lot of different kinds of music. My music taste sometimes gives people whiplash. Early 90s to 2000s pop music is some of my favorite, but I also love country, rock, metal, and punk. My favorite band is All Time Low.Thank you for asking me this! I love this question.

Love and light,

~ Bre

Z - I need to work on self-love and self-confidence. Can you maybe share your favourite tips? Thanks :)

Mon, 25 Jun 2018 22:57:34 -0400

Hmm… This is kind of a difficult. I am still struggling to find self-love and confidence each and every day, but my advice to you, as well as anyone else, would be find the things you love about yourself INTERNALLY first. Make sure to practice daily self care as well. I know I always feel better about myself when I am actually nurturing myself the way I should. Also… Comparison is truly the thief of all joy. Watch how you think about yourself. It is an actual cycle. Your thoughts feed into your feelings which feed into your actions which feed into your health (mental and physical) which leads into your thoughts… And so on and so forth. Work on negative thought stopping. For instance, you may think “I am worthless” about yourself, but instead think, “Know what? I am NOT worthless. I offer x, y, and/or z to the world.” If you think you can’t find a way to change the thought around, do it anyway. Another example would be, “I would be pretty if I were skinnier” which is a thought I have almost every day. The way you stop it is by saying, “I may not be like him/her, but I am me. That is enough and I AM pretty. I like my (insert at least one thing you like about yourself physically, no matter how small it may seem). Lastly, eliminate toxic people from your life. This may seem like it has nothing to do with self-love or confidence, but it has everything to do with it. If you keep people around you that make you feel poorly about yourself, whether you realize it or not, that won’t aid you in your journey. Self-love will not happen over night. I have been working on this for more than half my life and I am only nineteen years old. It is about the journey though and not the destination. Keep actively working at it and it will get easier, I promise.

I am sorry if this was way too long and winded, possibly even unhelpful, but it is the best way I could explain it. Thank you so much for asking this and I wish you the best in your path to self-love.

Love and light,

~ Bre

O: Where would I like to travel?

Thank you, anon, for asking me this! I would love to travel to Japan, Italy, Britain, and Hawaii for sure, but also the rest of the United States. I long to go to Japan the most though.

Love and light,

~ Bre

Mon, 25 Jun 2018 14:50:08 -0400

balsme:

Tarot spread for when you’re feeling frustrated and blocked. When there’s something wrong but you can’t quite figure what that is.

The cork, what’s keeping card five trapped.

What you need to keep an eye out for, the negative repercussions that this reveal will give you

The positives that will come from this being let into the light

What you should do to work on the negatives of card two, how to move further through them.

The central issue, the thing that needs to be let out into the light

How the positives found in card three will inform and shape and improve your life.

This spread actually helps me a lot with shadow work - if I keep running up against an emotion I can’t figure out the reason for, I work on this, but it also helps when I’m feeling stifled.

Hey, could you send me the links you have about divination or just tarot if it's not too much trouble? Thank you for the help!

Mon, 25 Jun 2018 14:49:52 -0400

Hah, hah hah. I actually didn’t have ANY links at the ready. So I went and compiled all this for you. Hence why it took like 3-4 hours for me to answer this. Hope it helps!

What is an Empath?

Mon, 25 Jun 2018 14:47:22 -0400

belladonnaswitchblog:

There are different types of empaths who employ different psychic empathic traits. These are the 10 types of Empaths:

Psychometry - The ability to receive energy, information, and impressions from objects, photographs, or places.

Telepathy - The ability to read people’s thoughts.

Mediumship - The ability to feel the presence and energies of spirits.

Physical Healing - The ability to feel other people’s physical symptoms in your own body (and often the ability to heal, transform or transmute them).

Emotional Healing - The ability to feel another person’s emotions.

Animal Communication - The ability to hear, feel, and communicate with animals.

Nature - The ability to read, feel, and communicate with nature and plants.

Geomancy - The ability to read the energy of places and of the land - geomancers can feel the energies of the Earth, such as Lay lines. They can also get headaches, pain, or anxiety before earthquakes or other disasters occur anywhere on the planet.

Precognition - The ability to feel when something important is about to happen (often this can be a feeling of inexplicable dread or doom).

Claircognizance, or Knowing - The ability to feel what needs to be done in any given circumstance, often accompanied by a feeling of peace and calm, even in the midst of a crisis.

–Symptoms of being an Empath:

Acute senses - i.e. sense of smell, taste, sight, touch, hearing, etc.

Acute awareness of the feelings of those around them, and feeling deeply for those in pain or suffering.

Often easily hurt.

Avoidance of conflict where possible. Preferring to keep things harmonious.

Easily startled by noise.

Easily moved to tears because of deep feeling.

Nervous in crowded situations.

People feel safe around them and are able to talk to them easily. Even complete strangers will talk to them about personal things without consciously intending to do so.

Animals and children love and are attracted to them.

Easily affected by the weather.

Their greatest gift is to perceive with the heart.

They are usually a blessing to be around, as they are nurturing and caring.

Music and harmony are very important to them. They can lose themselves completely while listening to music that resonates with them.

Water is very beneficial and therapeutic to an Empath.

–Having psychic empathic traits can be extremely challenging, and even painful. The definition of empathic understanding is to be able to feel what another person feels (sometimes both emotionally and physically). Even under normal circumstances, having psychic empathic traits can be confusing and difficult to manage or understand, but in times of global chaos, emotional tidal waves that rip through the collective consciousness can be utterly overwhelming. This is why an Empath feels anxiety at these times.

–Some people consider being an Empath to be a paranormal trait, but it is more normal than we realize. Many, many people have psychic empathic traits, but they are usually labelled as being “overly sensitive”. Empaths have a heightened sensitivity, and parapsychologists often refer to them as being “Psy-sensitives”.

–Some of the characteristics of an Empath include being “moody”, or having mood swings for no apparent reason. This is because empaths pick up on the energies and emotions from other people, places, animals, and even things around them. An Empath can be feeling fine one moment, then suddenly become depressed or sad or angry, or even develop physical pain and headaches “out of the blue”. Many empaths can feel like they are going crazy, especially empathic children who cannot understand what they are feeling or why they are feeling that way. An Empath must learn to trace these feelings back to their origin in order to determine what triggered them. First ask yourself, “Is this mine?” If the answer is no, then determine when and where it started, and who or what was around you at that time.

–Some other characteristics of an Empath can involve extreme shyness, avoidance of public places, or being overweight (especially in children). These are all ways to try to shield and protect oneself from the psychic abilities of being empathic. An Empath can absorb and take on the feelings and symptoms of others just by being near them, or even by speaking with them on the phone, which is why an Empath feels anxiety when faced with crowds of people.

cedalionsoul:

The Self Reflection Spread– used for those who want to understand the cognitive behavior of a situation and use therapeutic insights to correct behavior associated with negative core beliefs or positive core beliefs. The querent will see how giving power to good and bad thoughts will run out, as well as what will actually happen in the Timeline. The self-view and soul-view are clues in determining whether the querent is being rational or irrational. The false and true perception add weight and reinforcement to the negative and positive side. You may find people or things in the perceptions the querent are right on about or just pure wrong about. There is potential to interpret self-denial or blame in the perception cards.
Other spreads.
