We influence the people around us. Not even actively.
Being authenticly YOU shifts the energy fields, opinions, of people around you. Even if you do not see it. It truly matters. And you ARE breaking the narrative.
Little seeds grow even from seemingly infertile soil.

Sometimes I do house calls if it's a client I've seen before and have their story. I have set formulas that I have at the ready just in case. I move them around and adjust things to fit.
The base for my 'Fear-Based Decisions' one has Chamomile, Skullcap, Lemon Balm, plus a driver.

Fire: omfg where is the blanket🤒

Different herbs needed for each phase. 💯🌿🖤

Oh. My. Gosh. An herbalist colleague of mine was just handed, by their new client, a list of herbs that was supposed to help with "anxiety" (🙃) and it included Yew. The client admitted to the list being from ChatGPT. Please no health advice from the robots thanks. 😭🌿☠ #WitchSky #Herbalism

Went on a little rant today about how classist/sexist... all the -ists, the health system is on the Patreon today. It's free if you want to feel less alone 🖤
Not my usual type of post so it's in addition to the regular monthly one I do. (Also working on an Angelica one 😍)

Michael. This spread called me out so much it needed a warning 🤣🥲
The first two cards I pulled were Queen of Pentacles and reversed 9 of wands. 🤣😭 might have a bit to go there LOL. Luckily the rest of the spread is so practical (Fool Rx -> Temp Rx) haha Well done! It's very rounded out 💯

The best thing about being married to/ having a kid with #ADHD are the extra kisses/hugs they give after leaving the house for the 5th time as they forgot yet another thing when heading out 🤣

Oh my gosh. I just found a really weird BUNCH of Datura plants here! I didn't even know they grew here! I'm so excited. They are seeding at exactly this moment. 😍😍😍 I've been asking for datura seeds since I moved here because it is my special plant and it's here! 😍 #excited #WitchSky #NewProject

The later phases of typical shadow work advice are completely unfair to those needing them the most. It can be genuinely risky for people to go through these alone. We should all have professional support but that isn't real. Access isnt equal. In my book, I'm going to assume you don't have it.

One day, I'll have local friends. Who'll come to my house, and I'll serve tea for tea leaf readings, we'll play plant-themed board games, discuss occult philosophy, and then we'll go foraging.
That day is not today. But some day 😅
