"humans are inherently evil" "humanity deserves to go extinct" okay. if that's the case why are we such a community based species. why have we seen evidence of careful amputations in ancient humans that allowed them to live longer, fuller lives. why do we have thousands of years of evidence of toys made for children by their guardians. why do we consistently find burial sites where the deceased has been buried with items of significance because the people in their life cared about them even after they were gone. why do strangers help strangers without any reward. why are most of the people you meet each day not cruel. we have ALWAYS been kind. I know it is so so easy to get swept up in all the horrible happenings in the world. these things can be extremely important to know about. but please, please please know that there are so many kind people in the world. you are one of them!

hereâs a really simple lipstick spell i made up a while ago <33!! i think this counts as glamour magick? anyway, you donât need much and i think itâs beginner friendly.
you need:
- lipstick
- sugar (or honey)
- a mirror
- Pick a lipstick of a colour that calls to you (if its charmed thats even better)
- Go to your mirror
- Put the honey/sugar inside your mouth (around one teaspoon)
- Put on your lipstick (semi slowly)
- Repeat affirmations in your head
"I am (trait)"
"Others perceive me as (how you want to be perceived)"
"My energy is mine to change"
"My energy changes with my will"
"My aura changed with my will"
"My energy and aura are what i want"
And any other affirmations you want to use!!
You can also repeat key words in your head (pretty, charming, bubbly, seductive, petals, airy, etc)
- Visualise your intent coming out from your hand, into your lipstick, and onto your lips/your energy, visualise your energy/aura changing how you wish.
- Do this and keep repeating until the sugar/honey is completely dissolved in your mouth. then you may simply close your lipstick, do whatever you regularly do at the end of a spell, or you may simply say "It is done".
you're done!!
Sometimes itâs time to move on. Maybe youâve outgrown your old crowd, or found that the people you called friends were really toxic backstabbing bitches. Either way, here is a simple charm to attract new, like minded people into your life.
What youâll need:
Lemon peel
Lavender
A lock of your hair
Lodestones (or any magnet will work if you donât have one)
Small jar
Yellow candle
What youâll do:
I would preform this on a waxing moon on a Friday. A waxing moon to indicate growth and a Friday bc it correlates to family and friends.
Cleanse your space. I usually do this by lighting sage and fanning it a bit around the space.
Light a yellow candle (if you donât have a yellow candle any candle would be fine).Meditate on what a great friend you are. Picture yourself with your new friends focusing on the joy and happiness and harmony you all create by your friendship.
Take your jar. Fill it with a scoop of lavender and the lemon peel. Place the lodestone in the herbs.
Cut a small lock of your hair and sprinkle it in the jar. Close the lid.
You will want to work this jar for about nine days.
Each day stop by the jar for a few minutes continuing to meditate on attracting great friendships into your life.
When you are done you can either keep the jar in a safe space, or bury it outside.

I don't want to sound crazy but I need you to know that I require to be told nice things. To be reminded that I am enough. My scars may be healed but they are still scars at the end of the day, and so while it wasn't you who put them there I need reassurance you will not add more. I need to be told I am okay. That I'm enough. That I do matter. That perhaps you won't just leave one day with me confused and wondering what I did wrong.
