I FUCKING KNEW IT BUT I FORGOT WHAT HE LOOKED LIKE IN THE PIC WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS

i’m sorry people don’t know this? what the fuck do you guys think they scan at the register if there’s no price sticker? there is a barcode on the back yall

I don't know why I continue to be surprised at how few people seem to know that most mass market paperbacks have the prices printed on the back.

Most of our books do. Only the British imports and some of the indie books don't.

the trees you grew up with have not forgotten you. their branches still whisper your name in the breeze and their roots remember the paths your feet once traced through their shade.

USING YOUR MENTAL SAFE SPACE AS AN ASTRAL STRONGHOLD

Safe space visualization is something I was taught in therapy, but why not use it for magical purposes? So I thought I’d talk a bit about my methods for safe space creation, what I use my safe space for (magically), etc.

What absolutely comforts you? Think of color combinations, indoor or outdoor? Maybe your safe space has a specific noise or smell. Maybe you have a designated god or goddess or ancestral spirit that knows the layout of it, or maybe it’s just for you. I highly recommend if you do invite a spirit in that you make sure it’s one you trust ENTIRELY. I let my great grandma who I love and admire in my safe space. Important thing is that she RESPECTS my magical beliefs, and practice in general, even if she doesn’t understand it entirely. Spirits that you aren’t super familiar with or have only met a few times are not recommended for being invited in.

Doing a meditation to explore your safe space is entirely up to you, but thats my preferred way of accessing and developing my safe space as a magical realm. For starters, don’t make your space too big, mine is just a small one because the bigger it is the harder to imagine consistently or protect in general.

Revisit this space when you feel anxious, but also when you feel calm. Why? Well, put simply, if you only visit a space when you are in a bad headspace it will become associated psychologically with negative things for you. If you visit in all different types of moods, you cultivate a neutral understanding of the space, and it doesn’t gain a bad connotation.

IF YOU STRUGGLE WITH INTRUSIVE THOUGHTS, PARANOIA, OR PTSD:

I struggle with these things, so i got ya. If you start to envision creepy shit or startling unsettling things in your safe space accidentally popping in, then here’s what i do. I acknowledge that it’s my fears acting up. And i just go “lol thats not actually my safe space” and bring myself back to a centered state repeatedly until I find peace. It may happen again and again but I keep taking a deep breath and not giving too much thought to why or how these things pop up, I simply draw my attention back to center, and breathe. Eventually (for me) these things have disappeared and lost relevance over time. If this concept of a visualized safe space triggers you to an unhealthy point, please don’t push yourself to keep doing it though. And as always please seek professional help for these symptoms of trauma, OCD, OCPD, and Paranoia in general.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST FOR SUGGESTIONS: You probably shouldn’t share a moodboard or map of your safe space with others. Even friends. It’s for you and you only, like a secret sanctuary that only you and any additional spirits you trust can enter.

WHAT I USE MY SAFE SPACE FOR MAGICALLY:

🧡Magic Spells

💚Connecting With Beloved Spirits That I Truly Trust

🧡Sitting Quietly

💚Anti-Anxiety

🧡When I feel el mal de ojo (the evil eye) as a protective measure

💚To get in a good clear thinking headspace before doing tarot readings for clients

CLOSING THOUGHTS:

Having a safe space that you can mentally go to is so helpful in my opinion, but definitely not necessary to the craft. I just wanted to share this concept with yall. Comment if you have any questions and I’ll try and answer to the best of my knowledge.

I maxed the tags because of how much I love the Dude
