Protection for the home can be more permanent in nature, and is to be done after the purifications are finished. Protections might include charms, amulets, talismans, floor washes, incense, and living plants. Rather than go into information that is more sophisticated magickally, it is easy for an average person to use herbs and other items in terms of simple folk magick.

Written By: Psychic AlyciaRose Perhaps one of the oldest celebrated days on Mother Earth, is the Summer Solstice, when the sun is at its zenith in the sky. Celebrations can be found culturally in almost country stretching back into antiquity, its origins focus on agriculture and its cycles. Ancient astronomers used the summer and winter solstices to mark calendars, and a magical time since the sun did something it never did the rest of the year – appearing to not move.

The specifics about what makes a person cringe because of themselves is as unique as we all are, but the experience of that embarrassed feeling where you wish you could crawl (or fall) into a hole is truly universal. Why is it for many of us we can never get past the cringe and forgive ourselves to be able to love ourselves? It’s almost like that Mary Lambert’s song, “Secrets.” In her immutably quirky way, the songstress points out the quick answer as to why it is so hard to love ourselves in the chorus: “They tell us from the time we’re young.
