My weekly reset routine
Hello girlies! After some days offline I come back with this blog, I will be telling you quickly my every Sunday "Weekly reset routine" which is popular among girlies like us, isn't it? For me, this is the first day of my weeks and probably the most important one, since I get relaxed, taken care of and I reflect on what to focus next. I hope it inspires you in case that you don't have a routine like this, and if you do I hope that it's working well for you!
My routine
Tidy up and clean all my space: Includes the kicthen (that's my assigned section between my family), my bedroom and my bathroom. While cleaning downstairs I listen to a podcast and in my room I listen lo-fi playlist.
Begin the laundry: Every week I do my laundry, every two weeks I also add my bedsheets.
Do my full shower routine: I use shampoo, hair mask and conditioner. After, I use my cleanser and face exfoliant. To finish I use my soap, body exfoliant and shave my legs and armpits. I listen to new albums every time while showering.
Post-shower routine: I do the rest of my skincare routine, dry my hair, apply cream on my body, get comfy clothes and check my nail polish.
Tidy up my clothes
Plan and reflect: 1.How was last week? 2. I plan next week goals and tasks 3.Add calendar events 4. Revise my routines and schedule 5. Check my budget
Digital detox: Eliminate any unnecessary data on my laptop and cellphone, mostly.
My post-routine
Light a candle and listen to frequency music: I listen mostly to heal my feminine energy and positive vibes
Practice journaling: I look out for prompts or I express my feelings, I have a new journal book and I prefer now to do it by hand.
Say positive affirmations in the mirror: I get them from pinterest! I have cried twice by now, it has helped me with my inner dialoge, concept and steem.
Practice meditation and yoga: I normally practice between 20-30 minutes, for me is more than enough and actually helps me relax and maintain my mental health. I recommend you Jessica Richburg in Youtube.
Watch a movie: I really love to watch movies! So now every Sunday I make some popcorn and get cozy in my sofa to watch one. Right now I'm into chick films, they are really funny and inspire me alot.
See you girlies, time to enjoy my sunday! š½šŗą¾
"Für mich gibt es auf dieser Welt nur eine Mrs. de Winter."
It genuinely makes me really sad that there's such a large group of women who not only believe it's acceptable but also relish being degraded, abused, and treated as an object. My heart breaks for these women, and I wish it was easier to help them understand how they deserve better.
I will always, always be anti porn, anti kink, and anti sex industry. I know some women feel that these things are "taking" something from them, but. I hope some day these women will see that liberation doesn't come from giving men exactly what they want.
š Subtle Artemis Worship š¦
Spend time out in nature (e.g. go on a hike, take a walk outside, visit a nature preserve, etc.)
Dancing, especially at night and to music that makes you feel wild and free
Playing an instrument (although this is more for Apollo, I believe it also works as a form of Artemis worship)
Wearing jewelry that reminds you of her
Having imagery of deer, horses, or dogs around
Having literally any sort of animal symbolism around (she is a Goddess of Animals)
Investing in nature/animal conservation efforts (can simply be spreading the word if you can't afford to donate or volunteer)
Creating art of your favorite flower, plant, or animal
Keeping a picture of her in your wallet
Taking a walk outside during the crescent or full moon (only if it is safe in your area to do so)
Learning about self-defense (I feel dedicating a pocket knife, if legal, to her is a great idea)
Learning archery
Befriending neighborhood animals, such as cats, birds, or dogs; leaving food out for them
Lighting a bonfire with friends and having a good time together; dancing around it is especially great (please be safe about doing so; I don't recommend drinking first)
Star-gazing and moon-gazing
Showing compassion to others, such as through volunteer work or holding doors
Taking a warm bath at night
Having a candle that reminds you of her (no altar needed)
Wearing animal-inspired outfits or doing animal-inspired makeup
Visiting a local zoo, aquarium, or butterfly pavilion; taking the time to learn about new creatures
Watching nature documentaries or movies about animals (it can be movies/shows starring anthropomorphic animals)
Being curious about local fauna and flora
Learning how to safely forage for food, such as picking berries or mushrooms
Meditating in the dark of the night, especially on a crescent or full moon
Making a list of your goals; focus on completing these one step at a time
Taking new risks, especially ones that give you a sense of thrill and excitement
Sending kind messages to loved ones, especially those having a difficult time
Learning to prioritize your own well-being; taking care of yourself first and foremost
-
May add to this later! For now, this is my list of discreet ways to worship Artemis. I hope someone finds it helpful. Take care, everyone! š

Hello~ I figured Iād make my first master-post about Tarot! This is my interpretation, so I donāt ask that you just go by my word. Itās your path! Iām just here to try to help.
This will be VERY in-depth. So I apologize in advance for the lengthy post, but I hope it will help.Ā
Personally for myself I see Tarot as a tool. I use it to help myself and others with some guidance with their lives; however, when it comes to Tarot, donāt let it rule over your decisions in your life. It is a tool but that does not mean that you should only go by what it says.
There are two types of readings when it comes to Tarot: Question readings and Open Readings.
Just as the title says Tarot involves answering questions. Yes or No questions arenāt meant to be answered by Tarot. When it comes to Yes or No questions pendulums are used with their corresponding charts. Like I stated before, you shouldnāt use Tarot to make decisions but to guide you to help you make the decision yourself. The way a question is stated is important for Tarot readers. Hereās a few tips on what you should look out for:
š® Keeping your options open:Ā If you already have an answer for your question, then youāre not really letting yourself allow the cards to guide your decision.Ā Asking how you could encourage your mother-in-law to move out, as opposed to asking how you can get along better with her, is narrowing the scope of the true question by answering it before you even get started.
š® Details:Ā Your question should be focused, but not overly detailed. Rather than looking at one particular aspect of a problem, find a way to look more broadly at it. For example, rather than asking how you can make your home life less chaotic, ask how you can better balance work schedules and school schedules. That is a focused question. But do not go so far as to ask how you can coordinate baseball, soccer and karate schedules and still have family time ā thatās too detailed. Only include the minimum level of detail needed in order to express what you want to learn from the cards.
š® Focus on Yourself:Ā If the reading is for yourself, make sure your question focuses on you rather than on someone else who you think may be the root of your problem. If youāre wanting to help someone, for example, ask about what you can do to help them.
š® Stay Neutral: Basically be unbiased. Donāt come off with the notion that your POV is theĀ ārightā one. Asking why youāre always the one getting yelled at between you and your parent(s) isnāt neutral; instead, ask how you can prevent future arguments with your parent(s). Thatās neutral!
š® Be Positive: When it comes to Tarot, and anything really, youāll want to always try to be positive. Instead of asking why a specific event didnāt happen, ask about what you can do to make that event happen. Positivity is always great!
These are also known asĀ āGeneralā readings. They address the larger aspects of life rather than a question or a specific area. Iāve found that Past, Present, Future readings are very popular since it talks about peopleās lives. Theyāre always eager to see if the cards can truly tell about their life! You can also direct the General readings towards a basicĀ āgenreā. Career, Health, Finances, Love, etc.
There are many varieties of Tarot decks, and there is no standard number of cards across all decks. While the types of cards, the suits and their meanings are the same, the illustrations vary greatly. Decks are based on various themes such as nature, animals, fantasy, dragons, etc.
When it comes to finding a deck of your own, donāt just choose one based on the design. Focus on the connection between you and your future tool, your future guide. I have the Tarot Draconis Deck that called to me. Itās a beautiful dragon based deck that has connected with me. The bond we have today is inseparable!
I sayĀ ābondā because each deck has itās own personality. Thatās why Tarot readers do interviewĀ āspreadsā to help them get to know their decks a bit better. Iāll explain spreads more thoroughly later on in this post. When it comes to their personalities, some decks are blunt, some are meant for giving other people readings and others could be laid back.
When you look through a Tarot Deck, there will be two different sets of cards: Major Arcana and Minor Arcana. Letās look at the Minor Arcana first. Youāll find that like regular playing cards there are four suits; however, instead of hearts, spades, diamonds, and clubs there are Wands, Pentacles (Circles), Cups (Chalices), and Swords. Each of these represents an element.
Each suit has meaning regarding a specific approach to life. The cards within these suits are numbered one through 10 and also include the court cards ā the king, queen, knight and page (knave). The Minor Arcana cards represent the more minor, practical daily ups and downs in life.
The Major Arcana are not associated with the suits. They include the picture cards that represent principles, concepts and ideals. They are numbered one through 21, with the 22nd card (the āFoolā) marked as zero. The Major Arcana cards represent strong, long-term energy or big events in some area of life.
As I stated before, each of the Suits represents an element. Letās talk about each one and break down what they mean, as well as the cards within them. Then weāll move on to the Major Arcana!
When it comes to the different cards, there are negatives and positives. When a card is upside-down, the term beingĀ āreversedā, then it represents negative attributes of that card. When itās upright then it represents positive attributes.
For myself, I donāt read reverse cards. I base it on my intuition. Iāll explain how your intuition is used with tarot later on in this post.
š±Also known as Coins, Disks, or Circles.
š±Represents the element Earth.
š±Covers material aspects of life including work, business, trade, property, money and other material possessions.
š± Pentacles deal with the physical or external level of consciousness and thus mirror the outer situations of your health, finances, work, and creativity. They have to do with what we make of our outer surroundings ā how we create it, shape it, transform it and grow it.
š± On a more esoteric level, Pentacles are associated with the ego, self-esteem and self-image.
š± The positive aspects of the Suit of Pentacles include manifestation, realization, proof and prosperity.
š± The negative aspects of the Suit of Pentacles (i.e. when the Pentacles cards appear reversed) include being possessive, greedy and overly materialistic, over-indulging and not exercising, not effectively managing oneās finances, and being overly focused on career to the detriment of other life priorities.
Often what is required to counteract these negative aspects is a return to nature to ground oneself and rediscover what is truly important. In addition, there may be blockages in being able to manifest ideas and plans resulting in a lack of success. Better goal-setting and planning is required.
š± When referring to timing in a Tarot reading, the Suit of Pentacles traditionally represents Winter or years.
š± In a deck of playing cards, Pentacles corresponds to Diamonds.

š® - If a Tarot reading is predominantly made up of the Minor Arcana Tarot cards, you are dealing with day-to-day issues which will not necessarily having a lasting influence on your life.Ā
These issues are passing through, presenting you with an opportunity to learn from these experiences (look to any Major Arcana cards to identify and understand these lessons and how they may impact your life in the long-term).
The Major Arcana Tarot cards (also known as the trump cards) form the foundation of the Tarot deck and consists of twenty-one numbered cards and one unnumbered card (the Fool).
They represent a path to spiritual self-awareness and depict the various stages we encounter as we search for greater meaning and understanding. In this way, they hold deeply meaningful lessons.
The Major Arcana Tarot card meanings illustrate the structure of human consciousness and, as such, hold the keys to life lessons passed down through the ages. The imagery of the Major Arcana Tarot cards is filled with wisdom from multiple cultures and esoteric traditions, including the Egyptian, Buddhist, Hindu, Sufi, Hebrew and Christian religions.

Now that weāve talked about the Minor and Major Arcanas, letās talk about Tarot spreads! Before any Tarot reader does a reading, they shuffle their cards. This allows them to transfer their energy into the deck.
Once the cards are shuffled and the deck has been cut, the reader lays out the cards in a pattern called the spread. Each position in the spread has a meaning, and there are many different types of spreads, ranging from those that incorporate a single card to spreads that include all 78 cards of the deck. Which spread is used is up to the reader and the specific type of question or reading. Some spreads focus more on a specific type of information. For example, one spread might focus more on emotional matters, while another might bring in more information about the influences of others. One of the most common spreads is the Celtic Cross.
Once the cards are laid out, their meanings are interpreted based on their positions and their neighboring cards. Letās look at the Celtic Cross spread:
Begin by looking at the Circle/Cross section. The cards in this position represent what is happening in your life at the time of the reading.
Next, look at the first six cards in pairs. These cards paint a picture of your immediate situation. The cards in position 1 (the central issue) and position 2 (the secondary issue that can either be opposing or reinforcing) will identify the central theme of the reading. The cards in position 3 (the root cause that can be an unconscious influence or deeper meaning) and position 5 (your attitudes and beliefs, a conscious influence, your goal or an alternate future) represent things that are going on within you at different levels. And, the cards in position 4 (your past, a receding influence or something that has been resolved) and position 6 (the future or an approaching influence or unresolved factor) represent how people and events are flowing through your life.
Next, look at the Staff section of the spread, again considering cards in pairs. Looking at the cards in position 7 (as you are, as you could be, as you present yourself and as you see yourself) and position 8 (your outside environment, someone elseās point of view and you as others see you) tells you about your relationship with your environment.
Finally, look at the card in position 10 (the outcome-overall, your inner state, your actions or effects) to see the projected outcome.
Ask yourself how you feel about the projected outcome. What does it say to you?
Go back and review the cards that led up to that outcome, and see if there is a card that stands out as they key to that outcome. Then, look back at card 5 to see if the projected outcome is also shown as an alternate outcome there. Look at the card representing the near future in position 6 to see if it supports or contributes to the projected outcome. Finally, look at the card in position 9 (guidance, key factors, hopes and fears or overlooked factors) to see there is any relevance there.
This is one of many different spreads. You can even make your own spreads! Ultimately, start small and learn as you go. Spreads are very easy once you get the hang of it.
Last but certainly not least, weāre going to talk about Intuition!
What is intuition?Ā A thing that one knows or considers likely from instinctive feeling rather than conscious reasoning.
When it comes to Tarot cards, and giving out readings or doing one for yourself, intuition is key. Witchcraft in general involves intuition 9 times out of 10! For example, when I do my readings for people, I donāt just go by what the cards mean. I trust my intuition about what it means, with my gut feeling. If I feel itās something to do with family, I go with it. If it has something to do with an important event coming up in the future, I trust it.
You may not get it down right away, and thatās perfectly okay! Itāll take some time to get it down pat. Just donāt forget to listen to your gut!
There you go! I hope this Master Post helps you guys learn a little more about Tarot. Iāll be posting another one later for in-depth descriptions of all the cards!
Brightest blessings!

If youāre ever having a breakdown, just remember the wise words of the lord himself
Aphrodite who cries for the people who hurt themselves because self love is love too
Artemis who doesnāt hunt animals anymore (humans do it enough) She now walks in clubs looking to hunt the real animal
Athena who donates hundreds of books to local libraries and schools
Apollo who watches all street musicians hoping their talents can get them a little money (He gives more than a little)
Dionysus who watches over everyoneās drinks at the bar making sure they stay safe
Zeus who makes it rain for the couples that just want to frolic and dance and kiss in the rain
Hera who donates to womanās and SA survivors shelters
Ares who is at the forefront of every protest because those are battles too
Hestia who holds and keeps thousands of secrets so the ones who whispered them into flame donāt have to
Hades who letās families get one last goodbye to a loved one before they die
Persephone who personally makes sure that the ones taken too early feel safe and secure in the Underworld
Demeter who gives Her best crops to food banks and homeless shelters
Hecate who is a street magician and does actual magical for the kids
Poseidon who finds the best seashells and leaves them on the beach for someone to find and treasure
the Gods arenāt gone they ARE the little things in life
Men masturbate to shit that would be considered an actual fucking crime in literally any other context outside of porn and then act like that has no influence whatsoever on how they view and interact with women.
āprettyā isnāt enough. i want to be ethereal. i want to be angelic and otherworldly beautiful.
write down everything that u wanna manifest (think big, absolutely nothing is off-limits for you)
write down all of ur limiting beliefs (especially the ones that you've held onto for a long time)
write out affirmations that are the inverse of ur limiting belief (example : if ur limiting belief was that money was hard to come by or money doesn't grow on trees -> the affirmation you'd write would be "money grows on trees")
affirm every single day at LEAST once. its recommended to repeat ur affirmations bcuz then ur affirming and persisting though. the more u affirm + persist the quicker it'll reprogram ur subconscious mind
