This was part of my Rosary intentions today amongst other things.
BREAKING: The Supreme Court denied an attempt to challenge Obergefell v. Hodges, the case affirming marriage equality nationwide.

Our freedom to marry remains the law of the land.
My nightstand woo ~

Gold Sheen Obsidian, Vicks, Florida Water/Holy Water, Rose Quartz, my first Amethyst crystal, Rosary beads, my daily Milagrosa [Miraculous Medal] pendant, a Lady Undoer of Knots token and a piece of Thyme.

Oven baked boneless chicken thighs. Marinated in garlic, green bells, lime juice & lime rinds and seasonings.

It always makes the whole apartment smells all kinds of awesome!

The LGBTQ+ affirming Catholic church I go to is filled with generous folks. There's a whole table of religious pamphlets, prayer cards, rosaries [from me] and sometimes even small devotional items and holy medals.

Today I found St. Peregrine today w/ Our Lady of Sorrows in the reverse side.

It's that late Autumn type of day. Gonna go to Holy Rosary/Mass in a few, then off to the craft shop to pick up something for a quick hand stitch project.

"What type of Yule/Winter Solstice ritual/magic[k] could I do this year?"

Go look in your pantry and your closets and donate non perishables and lightly used Winter clothes to food banks and your local shelters.

That's the magic plain & simple.

I've got a lifetime of quilts, and they're all sitting in old steamer trunks. In an effort to share them, I'm reworking them. Upcycle?
This vest was a quilt a few days ago. The edge binding was also the original quilt binding. The leather buttons are also handmade.
Thoughts welcome.

I was on a long phone call w/ my mom the day & I heard my maga middle brother on the background talking so I cut the call short.

Like, really your guy/party is literally driving the country into shit and nothing. He knows my mom was talking to me.

It's a fucking cult..! 1/

If anyone else would like to be a penpal, just shoot me a dm.

I am a folk Catholic Witch so I love everything from saint medals/prayer cards to herbs, stones..etc.

If you have something to offload, I'll try my best to compile something from my part of the world to send to you in return!

I dug deep into the vaults and found this old friend that needs a new home. A 'Record Keeper' Corundum-Sapphire wrapped in bare Copper wire.

We made a batch of chicken soup/broth from a leftover rotisserie chicken so we gave some to our neighbor. She can split it into two servings with two different types of noodles.

'Kapwa' is being mindful of others besides yourself, like your neighbors & friends.

As I get older I am reminded why I don't really want to be part of Neo-Pagan/Witch groups anymore. My husband experienced it years ago & it was all b/s & it's looks to be the same now.

He still did his thing & is perfectly fine in his practice w/o those groups of people.

Why is it for a Witch/practitioner like myself who studied/learned via dial-up internet and limited Llewellyn books from Buck-a-Book, I know more information than younger practitioners who have all the information under their fingertips in their pockets. 1/

This might be the last bloom from my rose bush. There's one more bud in the bush, but we'll see if it'll bloom in this cooler temperatures ✌🏼✨

I offered it to Our Lady 🌹🤍

I love this ephemeric stylized and colorful version of the Sacred Heart of Jesus 🌈

This small print was gifted to me from a penpal, so I framed it for my altar space ✌🏼✨❤️🔥

I sent a penpal packages last month to a penpal I've lost in touch with when I left IG.I found his address on a post it note that I used as a bookmark so I sent him a few items.In return he sent me a few devotional items & a book.We have to find & share the light especially during times of darkness.

Yey, I'm back to my 6:30am-3pm shift!

And I get paid a bit more.. so yey, lol.

It's kind of hard to tell, but I hand polished one of these lead-free pewter Folk Crucifixes. Pewter and nickel dulls when exposed after awhile, but you can always run them through a rouge/polishing cloth to bring their shine back.

Plus daily touching/use will keep their shine in the long run.

A few items from our yearly Fiber Festival. I thought this tapestry needle was a cute little tool when I make my little woven things. There was a vendor w/ beads and she had a few folk pewter crucifixes, so I bought them all & I got myself a small hand woven zipper pouch from Saori weaving ✌🏼✨🐑

Not feeling Samhain/Hallows this year.

Spirit is still around & the veil is still 'thin' for awhile.New job,the country turning to shit.It's difficult to be in the 'holiday' type spirit.

Tomorrow is Dia de Los Santos/Undas and I will recite the Rosary for my both my dearly departed and Santos.

They're blocking funding for food stamps/SNAP.. and I have feeling he'll open the funds for it & say he fixed it & folks will praise him for the problem he created himself in the first place.

I availed food stamps/SNAP before and it's no joke. People will go hungry.
