I adore the color of the mint glycerite 😍😍 it’s so rich and green and soothing and yummy and comforting! @shadowroseherbsco #herbalist #mintglycerite #freshmint #soothesthespiritandtummy

So. Here’s the thing. I’ve known something about myself for the past 6ish years that I’m realizing has been true about myself for most of my remembered life. I’m not straight. Have never been straight. And yet I convinced myself that was the only thing I was supposed to be. It never occurred to me I could be something else even though every “crush” I had growing up felt more like “this is what I’m supposed to be doing” not what I wanted or really really was excited and intrigued by. So, your question is, why am I married to a man? Because, he’s my mirrored spirit and we’re supposed to be together. Because he’s the first person who ever truly saw me as me, and I for him. And because honestly that’s none of your business too. We’re partners, companions, friends, and lovers, and that’s enough for me. All that said, hi all, I’m bisexual and proud to be able to live true to myself and honor the person I am. #thisiswhoiam #bisexual #thoughitsmorethanthatreally #straightpresenting #butnotreally

I’m reintegrating today. Trying to feed and take care of my body after an intense and powerful spell I cast last night. I have been prepping all week to use the energy of the full moon and the magick of Friday the 13th to cast basically a “return to sender” spell against my parents. I, with the incredibly generous and wise help of @thepeacockgrimoire, worked towards releasing and returning all harm and negative energy my parents have done to me and/or placed over me to control me. As I waited to the moment to arrive when I would start, I could feel this pressure and buzzing energy building around me. I put pen to paper at exactly 10:05pm my time, and the second my pen touched the paper, the sound of an animal’s death cry happened outside. I could feel the chains and evil spirits trying to hold me back and keep me from completing this spell. I am so grateful for a friend being there and helping me hold the circle open. As I got near the end, I could physically see things were moving out. I had opened a portal and was pouring out everything my parents have ever harmed me with; every last drop, every last iota of pain and harm and damage. As @aliciabmunro and I watched the spell candle burn itself down, I felt those generational bonds of abuse and trauma shatter and break open. I wasn’t just doing this for me, it was for everything in my heritage that has perpetuated the cycle of abuse over and over and that stops with me. I feel released today, exhausted, but free and a weight has been lifted. #thisiswhoiam #shadowwork #shadowpriestess #TheMorrigan #reintegrating #resting

I feel the stronger today than I’ve felt all week. It’s a weird feeling of knowing I’ve held so much ick this week and yet it hasn’t broken me nor has it pushed me under. My spirit is calm and peaceful, my body isn’t triggered by the slightest touch, my mind isn’t overcome with vivid pictures of things I don’t want to see. I am processing this all out, it’s flowing up and out of my body, it has no place here. • And So It Is. #thisiswhoiam #childhoodsexualabusesurvivor #curlycurls #reclaiming #releasing
