Merry meet everyone, So this post is only going to be a quick one to just update you on whats coming in the future and also why posts may not be as regular as they normally are. With working in retail December is going to be really hectic for me as I have extra hours to work and also I will be coming home as tired as if I had ran a marathon. On my days off I will make some time to plan for future posts as I really have a list of post ideas on my desktop that I just need to type out and work on. That will most likely be more for next year now than the end of this year. I did plan on making a load of posts for December ready for the December rush but with November being as busy I haven't had then chance. I do plan on doing some next week on my day off just so there isn't a break on my post schedule because I have worked really hard to make sure I kept to it, but no body is perfect and I will most likely have some spots of missing posts. I would also like to state that from the 24th of December to the 7th of January I will only be posting the my pagan life posts as these two weeks will be my holiday away from the blog. That just means I have two weeks to plan new ideas and spend time with my family over christmas. With December being busy I will also need time to recharge. I will most likely re-explain all this nearer the time but I thought a heads up in a update post would be a good idea. I do hope you bare with me over this time of year because I know others are as busy as I am and still get the posts out but you do need to understand this blog is my hobby, I make no money for doing this blog, so when others are making money that are able to focus more time on their blog where as I can not. I hopefully will have my subscription box post next week as I am waiting for that to be delivered for Novembers box. I also have some good yule posts coming up that I have planned hopefully that will all be set in stone next week. Until next time :) Blessed be x MissDoomie Merry meet everyone, So today's question is : what does this time of year mean to you? I have answered this question before a couple of weeks ago and I think I will be answering this again in the future too. Now this time of year is all about getting warm and toasty. With it coming to December in lest than a week away I would say its all about yule coming up. Spending time with family and also celebrating the longest night thats will come. My mundane answer would be christmas prep, in work it will be long hours and even more customer service. Wrapping christmas presents and having pretty bows on them to make them perfect for taking pictures. Having the flat decked out in christmas decorations and with the nice glow of fairy lights coming from the christmas tree in the corner of the front room. Presents stored under the tree and making sure my kitties can't get underneath like they normally do. Picking tree decorations off the floor that my cats knock off and pinch as if they dont have toys to play with. Food prep, planning the feast of the year and inviting family and friends to celebrate this cold time of year. Secret santa in work and also with friends. My altar all pretty with candles and yule decorations to celebrate my sabbat. This just all puts a smile on my face. I love this time of year because its a time where I can spend with my family and friends and no one needs or wants to be else where but to spend time together. I do hope this time of year is as good for me as it is for you all. Blessed be x MissDoomie x Merry meet everyone, So today I have gotten a great find, something that will come in handy for storage and also looks amazing. Now its after Halloween so everything is reduced to clear. I had gone into T.K.MAX like I normally done each week and thats where I found these beautiful witchy jars, and omg it was love at first sight. The price was only £2.50 for these big jars of amazing-ness. I have five of these jars now that store my incense and herbs and little bits and bobs that would just be shoved into a tin or draw. These are amazing little finds and what a bargain they where. I have been looking for months for good storage for my incense as I have a load... These are just amazing. I love how Halloween items gets reduced down to little to nothing and there great products for your altar. Or around your home if your anything like me. What bargains have you seen this week? I hope you enjoyed this post and the jars of amaze balls. I will see you all in the next post. Blessed be x MissDoomie x Merry meet everyone, Today's question is: What does the sun mean to you? This is a hard one to answer because I don't really work with the sun much. For me its most likely the source of life, the warm glow of the sun brings live awake. It is the yin to the moons yang. Without the sun we wouldn't be here, we need the sun to live the life we do live. The magical side of the sun is unknown to me because I never really thought about it before. I will have to do some research now on the sun and see if there is magical side of the sun. I am sorry I couldn't answer this question in more depth. Hopefully I will find out more about the sun and be able to answer it better next time. I will see you all in the next post x Blessed be x MissDoomie x Merry meet everyone,
So today I will be talking about the 13 goals of a witch. This post is more for new witches who haven't been told or learned about these goals. I thought it would make a good post to help others and also a great way for me to think about each goal and try to understand it as well. 1) Know yourself. 2) know your craft. 3) learn and grow 4) apply knowledge with wisdom. 5) achieve balance 6) keep your words in good order 7) keep your thoughts in good order 8) celebrate life 9) attune with the cycles of earth 10) breathe and eat correctly 11) exercise the body 12) meditate 13) honour the goddess and god. The goals above are all simple and straight forward in many aspects. As witches we are like guardians of nature, or thats how I like to look on it. We need to make sure we look after ourselves and our minds so we can share the knowledge of nature and also to keep balance. Know yourself and your craft are very simple you need to understand who you are and also what you know. If you are going to do a spell or mixture make sure you know what herbs and words you are saying and what they do. You wouldn't make a homemade tea with herbs that could make you very ill and thats the same with spell-work. You need to know all aspects before you do it. Having knowledge and wisdom is a beautiful and great thing to have. You should apply it to all aspects of your life and keep a good balance of both. Make sure that your words and thoughts are positive. If your doing spell-work and have a very negative mood and your words arent very clear than it puts out harmful energy and can corrupt your spell. This is the same with relationships in your life. I always try to stay positive because it helps improve my life, mind and soul. Dont let fear get you down. Celebrate life and all that follows, you dont want to stay inside the rest of your life you want to live and thats one goal everyone should have. Live life at the fullest. Celebrate the cycles of earth is the sabbats and esbats. The next three goals are all about good health, and looking after yourself and your body. The last one should be very straight forward as you should honour the gods or goddesses that you work with. Not everyone has the same but you should respect all and show some love to the ones you work with. I hope you enjoyed today's post and also learned something new. I will see you all in the next post. Blessed be. MissDoomie x Merry meet everyone, So today's question is: What does the moon phases mean to you? Well this ones quite easy and hard to explain all in one. I am learning more about the moon phases each month because with magic you can never know everything, its always changing always discovering something new about each aspect. For me moon phases are important for spell casting. Depending on the moon face depends on what spell would work as well and depending on the power that moon face gives out. I also love moon phases anyway because I think it influences the world. Not just nature but people, mood swings, habits it all connects with the moon and how people see them. You may not agree with me but thats again my own view on things. I also love how each month has a different moon name because its either more powerful or less, and even then it connects with the times of the year and how far away the moon is to earth and so on. I love how moon phases inspires me and also pulls me towards celebrating them each time they change. For me its only beginning and hopefully when I get asked this question again I will have more to say. I hope you enjoyed todays question and I will see you in the next post. Blessed be x MissDoomie x Merry meet everyone, So last week I mentioned that I was getting my tattoo on samhain. The reason why I have waited so long to post this post is because I wanted to heal abit. As you may all know about me is that I am a cry baby when it comes to needles. I cant stand them. So me getting this tattoo was a bit step for me because it was getting over my fear or having it done and also dealing with the pain. I have been wanting a pentagram tattoo since high school, I always joked about wanting one but too scared to get it done. So when a local tattoo studio had their competition and I entered thinking nah I wont win, In fact it must of been my time because I won one of their vouchers. At first I was going to give it to my boyfriend, or even to my brother who is in the same boat as me with the fear of needles but he has like 5 tattoos now. In the end I did the leap of faith and I asked mother earth to help me with my anxiety. I booked my tattoo to be done on samhain because whats a better time of year to beat a fear in the butt than on the witches new year? I dragged my brother with me so I had someone I could talk to while it was getting done. The dude that was doing my tattoo was amazing. He talked me through the progress and helped me settle my nerves. In the end after the first minute of having it done it wasnt that bad. I picked to have my tattoo to be done by dots, because I liked that art work and looks fab. I know it would of hurt more if I had it blocked with black ink because it would be going over and over the area, but for my first tattoo I love it. I am well made up with the style of tattoo and the fact that I didn't chicken out which I actaully thought I would. I know that I can now get another tattoo and I can deal with the pain which isnt really a pain as such as a sting. Overall another thing I can kick off my bucket list and I am forever protected now by my pentagram. I hope you enjoyed my post and like my simple but cute pentagram tattoo. Blessed be x MissDoomie x Merry meet everyone, So today's question is : Do you keep a journal/diary of your experiences? As you should all know by now is that I keep a book of shadows, and in fact has just started in a new book of shadows which is bigger than my last one. I still have space in my smaller book of shadows for my journaling. So yes I do keep a record of my experiences, its mostly how I feel on that day of the sabbat or even the morning I do a tarot reading and I will write down my card reading and also what I believe it means to me. I do also write about my dreams depending if I remember them and if they left me feeling like I need to think about them more. I also keep a daily journal, this will be more mundane that will include how i felt in work and if something upset me that day. I do this because it helps me unburden my mind of that days events and also helps me keep positive. I think that keeping a journal for any subject matter is really helpful and handy to do. For magic work it gives you reference to what you did on that date or if you have to go back to a reading you cant really remember. Like for me I do readings for each month. Doesn't mean I will remember what the advice the cards give me two weeks later. Its why I find keeping a written experience down in my book of shadows is handy for me anyway. I hope you enjoyed today's question and you have learned a bit more about me. I will see you in the next post. Blessed be x MissDoomie x Merry meet everyone, So this is a new box review something I have been looking forward to opening and reviewing because this is the second box that this lady at charmed within has created. Their first box was in September but I found out about that box a little too late. The lady who creates theses boxes is very talented and has been a witch for many years. I will link her website so you can check her out yourself. Now I stated I wanted to try other witch subscription boxes last month. I didn't think I would find one so quick that I truly believe in thats not just in it for the money. I get the feeling that some subscription boxes are in it just for money so there boxes are not full of love and respect. Charmed within is a great subscription box and from the looks of things will be getting better each box.
Overall, this is an amazing box to get each month. It costs £27 a month which is slightly dearer that the last subscription box i got but again you can't really put a price on the amount of handmade items that you do get in this box. That takes time and effect and love. I love how this box is presented, the draw like box it comes in which is handy for storage, the laminated information sheets, how everything is wrapped like its a present. I just love this box completely. I will be getting the next box hopefully because I really want to see how this box grows.
I hope you like this blog post and the review, If you want to check it out the website is above. I would check it out personally because the lady who creates these boxes is amazing. I will see you all in the next post, Blessed be x MissDoomie x |
