Merry meet everyone, So today I will be talking about this cute little book that I brought a couple of months ago. I thought I would do a review now because I have been using it a lot lately to better understand my crystals and what uses I can use them for. I would also like to take this time on the new style of photography I am trying out for my blog posts. The images have been changed so there will be more images that you will see on blog posts but I also want to start doing these style of photos for posts that either doing a review, or hopefully my pagan parcel when that comes. I love the look of the image and I hope you guys do too. Any back to reviewing this book. First of I think this book cost as little as £3. I first saw this book while looking in my local book shop for another book. I brought this book because it spoke to me and with the price so little I thought it wouldn't hurt having it in my collection. Inside the book its been put into sections. That is because it runs along the charka side of things so instead of types of crystals its in colours of crystals because its believed coloured crystals help with charkas depending on which area your focusing on. The book starts off with the information or introduction to the book. there are pages talking about the following, what crystals are, how they work, choosing crystals, cleansing them, working with them in home and work, healing crystals and chakra, on the move with crystals, meditating with crystals, elixirs, birthstones. Like I said a lot of information and does cover the basics on most aspects of crystals. It is a really handy book to have in your collection. I will pick a crystal that is in this book and I will talk about whats on that page for said crystal to help you understand why I love this little book of tips. Amazonite star sign is virgo, planet is mercury, element is earth, charka is heart, Little tips that the book gives are amazing and really helpful. I wont write them all but I will give you an example of one of the little tips. Tip #1 Keep amazonite near you to help you focus when studying or learning any new skill. The page itself that this crystal is on, is green with outline drawings of leaves and nature. Theres a picture of the crystal in the top right hand corner. I love this book because its not full of all information that might make your head explode. Its simple and effective. Its a handy little book that I am glad I brought. If you dont want a book thats going to make you want to cry with information overload than this is the book for you. I hope you enjoyed todays post and I will see you in the next post. Blessed be x MissDoomie x Hey all, So the last month on the witches circle amino app we have been doing the challenge of learning different aspects of the pagan religion. There are many different gods/goddesses from egyptian to Norse gods/goddesses. I like the idea of learning about different gods and goddesses because the more you learn the better you become and the better you understand that all religions are connected in some way. Today I will be talking about the god Jord who is the Norse mother earth. I picked her to research because I connect with mother earth on a daily basses. I work with mother earth so I thought it would perfect for me to learn about another religions mother earth. Jord actually means earth which I thought was the perfect fit for this goddess and actually made me smile when I found that out. Shes the daughter of Nott the goddess of night and her second husband Annar, whom is a island-giant. Many believe Jord is the ultimate example of the earth-gaintgess, being entirely connected with the fertile earth. Many see her as a 'wifely' goddess as she is very centred in herself and her fertility. She is known to mate with men but she would never centre herself as their partner. She was known as Odin first consort, even giving him a child name Thor before Odin taking an official wife. Many believe that the sky father and earth mother created a more giant like than god like son. Her greatest gift is the state of being completely happy within oneself. She is known to be fond of larger women and pregnant women and mothers. She blesses the mother to be, mothers that are nursing and mothers with loads of children. Jord can call upon fertility of ones self, livestock or from earth itself. Jord is also known with the ability to heal the earth. To honour Jord and make an offering to her all she wants is for us to look after the earth she clearly loves. By cleaning litter from paths or even taking care of the garden she will smile down on you. I personally love how mother earth is similar depending on the faith you follow. I love looking into the Norse mother earth and I have now found another reason to love mother earth and her many different faces through out religion. I will be adding a page about her in my book of shadows for sure. I hoped you enjoyed todays post and I will see you again in the next one. Blessed be x MissDoomie x Merry meet everyone, So last weekend I went to the local flower show which I do every year. I always go with my family because its a great day out and I have been doing it since I was younger. So anyway I thought I would talk about the day and what I liked and disliked and also the best item I brought there which OMG I love billions. Anyway I went there early with my family while the weather was chilled and the sun wasn't really out. It was nice and cloudy and really the perfect temp for the day. We made our first round around the event and I spotted a couple of things I would like to buy and also photograph. As I was there to photograph the floral which I do every year also. The weather started to get warmer to a bit it was getting really irritated with the amount of people bumping into me while I was photographing my subject matter. It didn't help that most of these floral subjects were inside tents. I was happy when I brought my little terrarium. It looks after it self so hopefully it will be happy living in my flat as most plants hate it. The image added to this post is a top view of my terrarium. Overall the flower show wasnt as good as it was the last couple of years, there weren't many flower/brush sellers as there has been and that may be because of the weather this year or it may be they arent coming to the flower show anymore. I think if the day stayed cool it would of been more bearable because the amount of people there was just stupid. It didn't help that because it was so hot one of my family members fainted and did some damage to their face. It wasn't the best way to end the day. I think if we are going next year we may go on a quiter day so theres not many people there and also we get a better look around. Overall it was an ok day but the best bit was buying my terrarium haha. Hope you enjoyed todays post and I will see you in the next one x Blessed be x MissDoomie x Hey all, Its that time of the month again. There are four sections love, wealth, positivity and health. I will do one card for each section for the next couple of months and see if you feel the love or not. Theses cards will be picked at random so it should help within that month to help you feel loved. After all we all need some love in our lives. HEALTH 'I lovingly nuture my mind, body and soul' POSITIVITY 'Even bad days have a positive lesson to teach' LOVE 'I am worthy of love and will find it' WEALTH 'I measure wealth in happiness and love' I do hope theses little quotes help you out within your self love this month. I think this may be the last one of theses posts unless you would like me to continue theses style of post. I really like theses simple but effect posts but It all depends on what you guys want. I always try to keep the content fresh and connected to me and I just feel like this one isnt working out the way I want it to. Let me know down bellow in the comments about your views. Blessed be MissDoomie x Hey all, So today I thought I should do a post about tips and tricks to help you start on your magical path. Now I always see people in the community asking for help about where to start and what they should do. Now in no way is this going to be a step to step guide to be a better you, or even a do this or never get fair. Because each path is different. I will be sharing some tips and tricks that I have learned through out my path that I believe will help you get far in your research and also helps you connect with your magical self. 1# Start with writing down what you want from this path. I have seen many people come to this path thinking that they will get all the answers they want but they dont know what they want. I personally believe before you start anything you should write down why you are doing it in the first place. I for one will do a post like this soon to refresh my own belief on why I am on the path I am on. 2# Research! you will never get anything done with out doing your research. I would personally start on the history of magic, why people are attracted to the path what do they get out of it, what will you get out of it. Why some people act the way they do around witchcraft and what impact did it have on our history and how we connect with the path today. 3# Start with basics. Don't jump in head first and rush your learning. That will never get you anywhere. I would personally start with the elements and how they can help you with the craft. For me I connect with nature so I use most of the elements within my craft. I started with candle magic because its very basic. Its a great starting point and you can get your hands on candles really easy. I would also learn the power of colour because that will help with candle magic and also something you will need for future crafts. 4# Hopefully you will soon feel connected with the path and you will start to be drawn to other aspects that we call craft. You could go into divination, nature magic, herbs and uses. There is so much to learn within this path that your mind might explode if you dont start of on the right foot. Its why I decided to do these tips. 5# I would also start a journal. Dont call it anything special because it will most likely be more of a jotter than a magic book of shadows. The more you learn the more you should take notes so you can transfer it to a main book of shadows once your are ready. If you want to start a book of shadows now then fair enough but bear in mind your learning everything so you will change your mind loads of times because you settle on one aspect and thats why you should leave it a while before starting a book of shadows. 6# Meditate. Now I find that meditating helps me connect with nature and my magical path while stressed. It helps me ground myself and calm my mind. Its a great form of calming the mind and it only takes 5-10 minutes of your day. (I will hopefully do a meditation post about my own tips and ticks to help you get the most of meditation) Overall be true to yourself. You can't rush your learning and you cant run head first into a problem. You need to find a starting point and work off from there. Its why I always say to start with history, you learn the mistakes they made so you dont have to. You learn the start of our path thats been documented and hopefully you connect with it in a way that makes your path worth while. After all you need to make sure this is what you want to do before you head in. Books and TV makes magic amazing which it is but its never what people think it is. You will learn a lot on this path but also question aspects of your own life at times. Make sure you know yourself and understand why you are doing this. I hope you enjoyed todays post and that Its helped you think before you do anything. I will see you in the next post x Blessed be x MissDoomie x Merry meet everyone,
So today is going to be a rant like post. I am conflicted as of late. I learned that one of my good friends has dealt with something horrid and that I know the person who caused this horrid series of events. I wont mention what these events are because its personal to this good friend of mine but it puts me in a place where conflict lives. What these series of horrid events do is make my blood boil. Now I knew some sort of thing was happening but not to the context of what I was told this week. I, my heart is saying to stay away from the person who caused this confliction, the series of events they put on my good friend. My head is saying I can't do that because of other factors that I can't mention here. So this is why I am conflicted. I want to punch this person really hard in the face and than tell them to go do one. But I have to look at the bigger picture. In all the years I have known this person I wouldn't of thought they would of done what they tried to do and for that I am conflicted. I am a person who wears their heart on show. I am a very caring person and I will always be there for my friends but when one does something to another and I don't know what to do its hard. My heart and my brain are fighting with each other and I dont know what to do. I dont want to do something I will regret later but at the same time I need to be able to live with myself. I don't think I will ever really be able to be right ok with this person not knowing what they have done. Anyway I hope you guys are having a better week than me haha. I will see you in the next post. Blessed be x MissDoomie x Merry meet everyone, So as you all know I always try to go to Liverpool once a month because is my local city and it has all the best witchy shops. This time I went to sort some banking stuff because they had a local branch which we don't in my area. I also decided to stock up on my crystals because I can never have too many crystals and at the moment I am really into my raw crystals. I find they look amazing and beautiful on my altar instead of the tumble stones that I have. Even though I do love all crystals I can't have my tumble stones on show on my altar because my cats find that they have more fun knocking them over haha. Anyway I thought I would show you the crystals I brought and also the amazing new smudge bowl I brought so I can have my smudge sticks on the go. This post will be quite short but also fabulous. I think my favourite item I brought is the rainbow looking crystal with is quartz and titanium. I find this will look amazing on my altar and with it so beautiful and rainbow like it will bring joy and happiness when looked upon. For the smudge bowl I still need to get some sand so I haven't used it yet but I really am looking forward to using it. The rest of the stones are ones I didn't have or ones that caught my eye as raw forms. I hope you have a great month of shopping and I will see you next week with hopefully another haul from the flower show. Blessed be x MissDoomie x Hey all, So today I want to talk about some crystals I use with my life that helps me with work. Now I carry theses or one of these around with me either in my bag or in my pocket depending on what I am wearing that day for work. Now this is just what I use myself to help me through work or depending on the week I am having. These may work differently for you but overall I am speaking from my own experience using them and thats why I have created this list. I will add a little bit of information with each crystal that I have in my collection. Crystals to help within work, - Red tigers eye = This promotes positive attitude, helps self-confidence and increases motivation. -Tigers eye = Believed to balance yin and yang, energise your emotion body and lift your mood. Enhances good luck and brings prosperity. - Citrine = Teachs you how to manifest and attract wealth and prosperity.

I hope this post did give you some ideas and may be some helpful crystals to help you within your work life. I will see you in the next post. Blessed be x MissDoomie x Hey all,
So this post is my second one after the new update as a personal rant like post. I am writing this from the past because I want to make sure I get posts out even when I know I am going to be busy. This post will be a mixture of a lot of different things that has been either bothering me or bugging me in some way and also the happy side where I will share some pokemon that I caught that has really cheered me up haha. Firstly next weekend I will be spending the day with family so I will hopefully have a blog post about that day out next week if not it will be the week after just depending on how busy I am that weekend to be able to actually create a post that isnt rushed because I dont want to rush posts thats why if I know I am going to be busy around the post upload I will do it a couple of days or a week ahead. This is also the second week into august so I am going to be very tired and also busy within work. Summer is always busy for me in work because of where I work. I did mention it in last weeks post that its going to get really busy and it has but at the same time more hours which I need. It has came up a lot this week what I want to do for my birthday or what I want for my birthday and to be honest I am not sure. I think its funny how its meant to be such a big thing growing up but now its just another day where you get a big older and spend it with people you love. I use to love birthdays but now that some people arent here anymore to celebrate it with me its not as fun. I will most likely go out for a meal like I do every year and then spend it with friends and family whats else are you meant to do? I don't go out clubing, I find it a pointless task to be honest. I have never been into a night club or gone out drinking where everyone is pissed out their face and dancing like weirdos. For me thats not fun, I dont want to surround myself with self absorbed piss-heads. The girls that go out in my town dress like they are asking for it and the men dont take no for an answer even when you threaten to punch their face if they dont walk away. You get harassed by stupid people trying to get off with you and for what. For me its not fun and its not worth the time. Anyway that was my little rant for this side of the post haha. I know not everyone is like that but it does seem that 90% of the people out at night in clubs are like that, or are in my town anyway. Like I said before I want to share with you a couple of pokemon that I hold close to my heart this week. Well to be honest these pokemon where caught in July and have been sitting there looking cute and I just had to share them with you haha. The slide show bellow will have them in it so you can see the amazing pokemon if you wish haha. I am really getting into pokemon go because I am really getting into walking about more. I want to be more active and walking to work or to town is a big one for me it saves me money and makes me more active instead of just sitting on a bus to and from places. Pokemon go makes that fun and for me thats what matters. In fact its one of the reasons why I have kept it going for this long because its pushing me to collect pokemon keep my strike and also to hatch eggs. By walking to and from work I can hatch eggs faster and also keeps me up to date on pokemon catches. My fit-bit tracks my steps and pokemon go tracks my pokemon haha. Its fun and thats all that matters to me. I hope you enjoyed this post, Next week may be a week of posts depending on whats going on. I do have the flower show coming up so I may do an extra post talking about prep and what I plan to do on the day and also what I am looking forwards to doing. I will see you later in the next post. Blessed be x MissDoomie x **** For some reason the slideshow and images added to this post have been removed. I know weebly are doing updates so this may be a factor. Sorry for any confusion on this post but for now no images will be added******
I love how last month's box we got ink and a dip pen and this month we got this skull bottle. I was speaking to terry letting him know that the bottle with the ink in that I got last month I couldn't get the pen dip in because it was slightly too big. Its why I haven't used the ink yet. Terry said along the lines that it gave him an idea for another item for future boxes. He added this to the box, so we could use it as a ink well. I really look forward to using this and this will be happily placed on my altar. I have a soft spot for skulls always have always will. My brother is the same and when I saw this I was just like wow Terry out did him self this box. The second item that caught my eye in this box is this beautiful pentagram statue. Theres a hook on the back of this so I can have it on the wall if I wish. I just love how the pentagram is made out of broom sticks that really just makes it so much special. I think this item alone gives me the excuse to redo my altar because I just can't wait to have this on my altar. I have seen this item dance about online, fellow witches have shared it and I have also seen it on Terry's online shop once or twice. I am glad that I didn't buy it now because I just think Terry reads minds and he just knows what to send me that is perfect for that month and also perfect to cheer me up. This months box came with two herbs that I actually dont have in my collection which works really well for me haha. The two herbs are golden rod and marigold. The marigold smells amazing and I have ideas on what I can use this one for. With Terry being amazing you always get an information sheet with the herbs giving you a little bit of information about each herb enough for you to understand the uses and little enough to make you want to do some research. Or thats how it works out for me haha. These herbs will happily be added to my herb stash that is ever growing. I think I need a better way to store my herbs now. The crystal we got in this months box is one I don't have! which is amazing because my crystal collection is ever growing. The crystal we got is the purple aventurine which is for divinity. We always get a card with the crystal to give us some idea on the uses of this crystal and its always a good idea to keep these in your collection for future reference. The card says: "Helps clear emotional blockages and heighten spiritual awareness and guidance through clearer psychic vision." I just love this item. Its a raw selenite crystal. As anyone will know by now selenite is my favourite crystal of all time. It helps me reconnect with my self and also if I have a creative block all I have to do is hold this crystal and it helps break down that block. I always feel better holding this and I actually have this as a wand, a raw chunk and a crystal. So this will be happily added to my collection. This crystal has to stay away from water because is dissolves when wet. Which I found out while carrying my old raw stick of this crystal in my pocket and it rained like no tomorrow. I was a drowned rat and my crystal was breaking because it got wet. I know now how to protect this crystal.
