The Oxalis corms my resident gifted me is happy..! "As these seeds grow, so shall we..!"
I made myself an inconspicuous Evil Eye/Nazar safe for work bracelet. Black glass beads and a small glass Nazar/Evil Eye bead. While work has been good, you can never be too safe. Folks always be throwin' shade. #folkwitch #eclecticmagic #eclecticwitch 🧿
I found some odds & ends beads and I made a simple necklace with a blue/gold glass flower bead & a Citrine bead. One of my residents loves plants and flowers. She gifted me some Oxalis corms & she has some cuttings for me tomorrow. I'll gift her this in return..! 🌼💛✌🏼
I haven't bought a gemstone in a very long time, but today I found this Prehnite w/ Epidote today from a local shop I haven't stopped in, in almost a year. I needed some uplift & sign from Deity and this was one of it. 💚
Lentils, rice, veggies and mushroom medley. We finally stopped by the local farmers market & I grabbed a Mushroom Medley pint and prepped myself something healthy & nourishing for the week.
Mission Rosaries are usually made of seed shaped beads, but when I have a coupon from Michaels I buy a bag of plastic beads to change up the Gloria/Fatima/Pater beads. Loving these iridescent plastic faceted square beads!
An old penpal gifted me a couple of third class relics of Mother Cabrini and I found one of them today. ❤️🔥
"To Jesus through Mary." Sacred Hearts 'Heart' beads for the Pater/Gloria/Fatima beads. Hand knotted/beaded Rosary beads. ❤️🔥
I finally found a non-Latin/Asian chicken seasoning that actually gives the chicken color, but doesn't pigeonhole you into a specific flavor profile. 'Olde Canadian Chicken Rub', I got it from a local market and it actually smells, looks and tastes amazing!
This is the big book, but we also keep the smaller version. I checked that priests, deacons and lay people can use these blessings as well.
I read a quick recipe for a 'Refreshing Spray',which is a type of Clearing spray. I have most of the ingredients,but I had to sub in a few because I didn't have that specific eo. It smells amazing even w/ the substitutions. I added Witch Hazel so it doesn't spoil & Holy Water b/c you never know.
I dress a candle every two weeks for my prayers. They're dressed for daily blessings from either the Archangels, the Santos, the Blessed Mother or Jesus Christ. This week I got Sacred Heart of Jesus with me ❤️🔥🌞🌈✌🏼 #eclecticwitch #folkcatholic #earthmagic #folkmagic
Another Summer season comes & I still remember you my old friend. Julia, you were the best friend and person I've ever met. Both in raveland and irl. I wish we still had more retired-raver times together... You definitely had a heart of gold 💛
I have a devotional statue of San Judas Tadeo already, but I like smaller ones. I found this small metal one, and a pocket coin of Saint Jude Tadeo to keep with me daily. Thank you San Judas de Tadeo for pulling through for me! 💚
I've been on a search for a Four Way Crucifix, which is a Cross that is compromised of different medals. This was probably pulled from the back stock as it was the only piece at the gift shop.I cleaned it up & had my husband knot me a corded necklace for it. I'll have my parish priest bless it.
At the shrine today, we also lit candles in prayer and visited 'Mahal na Ina', or Blessed Mother. Whenever I go I always pray and speak to her in Tagalog. I feel like she understands me more that way. Mahal na Ina Ipanalangin mo po kami! 💙👑
Thank you Saint Jude Tadeo for all the work the you do. Thank you for the job opportunity you gave me. I left my job of ten years two years ago and I haven't found the right place until now. Patron Saint of Impossible Cases pray for us..! I left my green knotted Rosary as a thank you. 💚
We're visiting a local Catholic shrine tomorrow & they have a Saint Jude Thaddeus statue in their Hall of Saints so I knotted this simple decade Rosary as an offering for answered prayers. I'll pray and hang it on his statue tomorrow in thanksgiving. San Judas de Tadeo ipanalangin mo po kami 💚
While it may look like my practice has turned very Catholic, the magic is still there. I prayed the Rosary while tending to the garden today, and made a Pothos cutting in the hopes that it roots in conjunction with a working. As this plant grows so shall we ~ 💚
My brother stopped by after 2.5yrs of not seeing each other. He also came back from vacation from the Philippines and both my sis-in-laws gifted me with a couple of Santos. The Holy Family and St. Joseph. Both to help us find a new place. 1/
We're packing up the apartment, but I'm still keeping some easy hand crafts like my Rosary knotting tool. While all the beads are packed away, I can still make knotted corded Rosaries. This decade Rosary is dedicated to Saint Jude Thaddeus. Patron Saint of lost causes pray for us! 💚
Filipino Chicken Adobo! First try! I'm just going with how my dad did it. Basic recipe that can be easily adjusted to taste! I tweaked it a bit, but it tastes & smells like home.
Before picking up my dad's ashes, I took my mom to a local St. Padre Pio shrine so we could light some candles & pray for him. It was just my mom and I, & we prayed for my dad & our family. I also touched my Rosary to his relic turning it into a third class relic of Padre Pio. Rest easy dad 💛
