As you all know, I’m trying to fundraise for a service dog. I just found a new organization, but I still need to raise at least $5000 to get a dog from them! So, I’m offering a new donation-based reading.
Since I’ll be interpreting your aura, I can let you know if something’s off with your energy, energetic health, or other significant challenges in life your aura can clue you in to!
Just donate $13 here and tell me the name you donated as in your ask, then I’ll give you your reading! (If you want to donate anonymously, just send me a submission with a screenshot of your order confirmation email, then an ask I’ll respond to).
Here’s what the readings are:
I’ll intuit three colors that resonate with your aura at this present time. This (the image and italics) is an example of what the reading will be.
The first color, the deep blue grey, seems associated to a melancholy. There’s a heavy weight over you, like you’ve been carrying a burden for far too long and it’s tired you out. To lighten this color and find some peace, start to lean on those around you and find ways to slowly but surely lift this burden from yourself.
The second color, the bright teal, is a hopeful one. It seems like a new addition to your aura, perhaps just there a day or two. It’s signifying hope–a completely new feeling for you. It in many ways will help you pull through the burden you’re carrying, since it’s clear you now have faith you can get through it. Hold on to that.
The lavender is a tender color. It’s nurturing and soft and shows a very delicate side of yourself. Although the other murky color obscures it a bit, this is very much at the core of your energy and identity. You are a nurturer. Envision coating yourself in this loving purple light and you’ll feel the love you can share with others expand as well.
That was the example. You’ll get three colors plus a detailed interpretation and advice, all for $13! This is like a serious deal in relation to my usual reading prices ($25 and up). 🙂
These do take more energy, so for tonight I have three spots open! I’ll let you know in the future when I have more spots open. First come, first serve. 🙂
(Also, since auras change, unlike spirit colors, you can order multiple readings at different times too!)
Thank you so much for supporting my service dog fundraiser!
My historical witchcraft series is (for now) finally over! Thanks everyone to all the support I got, I’m really glad you seemed to enjoy those posts as much as I enjoyed making them. Feel free to message me about things you’d like to see from me in the future!
For ease of reference, I thought I’d compile all the posts here:
Hey! This is a post version of my Occult PDF Library. I am constantly updating the library so this post will soon become dated, but this is what I have as of 07/12/2015 (UK). If you want to see if there’s been any updates since then, look here.

MY WEEKLY STUDY TIPS
WHAT I WISH I’D KNOWN BEFORE UNIVERSITY STUDY TIPS SERIES
Everything below are things I’ve read, enjoyed, and have influenced my practice in some way. Enjoy! 😀 I’ve also include some comments about most of them
Authentic Witchcraft by Grayson Magnus: great, non religious, traditional witchcraft book. Definitely not not neowiccan. The author has many opinions about neowicca. They don’t pop up much, but heads up
Ancient legends mystic charms and superstitions of Ireland by Lady Wilde: My favorite book! Great look into Irish witchcraft and the practice of the fairy doctors. Heads up, certain spells and charms use poisonous ingredients without stating as such. Do research before trying any of the charms and spells
A Deed without a Name by Lee Morgan: A book that covers a large amount of topics in traditional witchcraft. A rather good for both those starting traditional witchcraft and those that have been practicing for a while.
: Has a large focus on witchcraft practices from the British Isles. Some nice info
Flame in the Cauldron by Orion Foxwood: Some good stuff! Covers a lot of topics and even talks about the witchfire.
Old Tradition Crafte – (translated by) Robin Artisan: Lots of really neat stuff from old grimoires and witch journals
The Sorceress by Jules Michelet: It talks a LOT about the witches’ sabbat. Lots of neat info and a pretty read
The Rebirth of Witchcraft by Doreen Valiente: Very lovely. It talks about the history of traditional witchcraft in regards to the modern movement.
The Golden Bough by Sir James George Frazer. Lotssssssss of lore. It is considered a “classic” by many. A bit old, so expect a few weird things. Free to read online
WEBSITES, LINKS, VARIOUS ONLINE ARTICLES AND BLOGS
Sacred-texts: A HUGE library of books and resources on a wide amount of different subjects.
Cornish Witchcraft: I want to own all the books on this site. A great resource about Cornwall and its witchcraft practices.
so, I’ve been selling smelly things for about a decade now (which is crazy, but there you go), and I get super wired whenever I see people using essential oils for witchcraft/devotional perfumes/what have you. I also get worried sometimes, because some of what I see people doing – particularly on tumblr – is kind of dangerous. (sometimes in a low-key way, sometimes seriously.) use essential oils for devotion and witchcraft because essential oils are awesome, but be careful with them, because plants are assholes and want to kill you sometimes.
Check out the contraindications before using anything. There are basically no essential oils that are 100% safe to use in every single situation. It’s important to double check even if you’re healthy, but particularly if you have a medical condition or are pregnant. (If you’re pregnant, be really fucking careful. Seriously. Essential oils are a minefield for you.)
Don’t give yourself a fucking chemical burn. One of my favourite party tricks (I am so boring at parties) is to put a few drops of something like peppermint oil on a thin plastic take-out container. If you wait a couple of minutes and then poke it with a fork, the plastic will have melted a little. EXCITING. A lot of people seem to think that essential oils are ~~natural and gentle~~, but fuck, a lot of them are used by the plant to get rid of insects/fungi/etc. All essential oils need dilution before using them (okay, sure, tea tree and lavender are generally safe, but otherwise), and some shouldn’t even be used on the skin in normally-safe levels of dilution. If you have sensitive skin and put some cinnamon oil lotion on it, you’re fucked, you’re going to be red and sore and pissed off at cinnamon, which is a sad state of affairs.
Related note: don’t try to dilute with water. Essential oils aren’t lipids, but they’re still hydrophobic. Want to use essential oils in your bath so that you can focus on shit that isn’t all the stuff you have to do at work tomorrow? Awesome! My favourite is spruce, clary sage, and myrrh – that one’s fucking great. Dilute it with bath oil or some salt first, though. Being super focused on how sore and itchy you are isn’t ideal.
Related note: citrus oils are assholes. You know that whole ‘use sun and lemon juice to bleach your hair!’ deal? That totally happens to your entire body if you use too much citrus oil in something that’s going on your skin. Bergamot is one of the worst, but all of them are guilty as hell. Dilute well, don’t slather it on before going out in the sun, and keep an eye on how your own body reacts.
Remember that essential oils are super concentrated. I fucking love putting essential oils on charcoal. Sometimes I mix them in with dried herbs, but sometimes I just drop them on the charcoal directly – too many drops and you’ll just have a hunk of sad wet charcoal, but it’s worth it for the billowing smoke that flows out over the rim of my charcoal-burning bowl and drifts along my altar. (SPECIAL EFFECTS FOR YOUR MAGIC.) Whenever I do that, though, I have to remember to be careful about how much I use, and how much of the smoke I breathe in. Inhaling ten drops of peppermint essential oil all at once is like eating more peppermint than anyone should or would want to eat, just fucking… bowls and bowls of the stuff. When I used clove oil on charcoal to get rid of a plague of flies, it worked magnificently, but then I also had to air everything out and ended up googling the effects of clove oil overdose. I had one customer who accidentally dumped a bottle of lavender oil on their head; they washed it off, but still had some fun hallucinations (this is sarcasm) and spent a while at a walk-in clinic. Don’t let that be you.
Essential oils go bad. This isn’t a safety tip, exactly, unless you’re dealing with an oil like jasmine that will make you cry and hate your life and the world if you smell it after it’s gone bad. Those oils are rare, though – your sadly ruined oil isn’t going to stink, it’s just going to stop smelling like anything and become an expensive bottle of nothing much. Store your oils in a cool, dark place – don’t set them out on your altar or shrine if that’s on a sunny windowsill. Most oils will eventually lose their potency anyway (citrus oils continue to be assholes and only last about a year even in the best conditions), but some oils, particularly resins, will keep for decades and just get better with time if you’re nice to them.
Be careful. Don’t burn yourself. Don’t overdose. That’s about it, really.
ETA: Be careful about pets and other animals. This needs a whole post of its own, honestly, but if you have pets (particularly cats or birds), read up on how they react to essential oils. This shit is important. Essential oils can be deadly to some animals.
