Thorns & Embers

Universe has jokes.

I’ve been doing a hefty dose of cleansing, banishing, warding, etc. this morning I woke up to a witches hat in my yard. Thing is, I’m surrounded by fields for miles.

Where did this come from? 😂😂

Just begin.

AI really said ‘relax… forever.’ 💀 Can’t have anxiety if you’re no longer alive.

This feels like a beautiful and powerful way to honor Hekate’s Deipnon.

This is amazing! I think I’m going to start doing this.

I’m the opposite. 😅 But it has to be with me in charge if it’s my passion. If I’m under someone else it’s a disaster.

Accidentally lit the Hawthorn on fire while taking pictures. Oooosies.

Thought I was gonna make it through the retrograde for the first time unscathed. Laptop is down and we lost power for a couple hours today.

It always gets me.

Even if your voice trembles.

Magical Uses:
• Protection
• Binding your own intentions
• Talisman magic for resilience
• Strengthening wards with rooted energy
• Ancestral magic
• Commitment magic

Jujube is the seed you use when you need your magic to hold,
your resolve to last,
and your boundaries to stay firm.

Plant of the Day: JuJube Seeds

Jujube seeds are ancient.
Used for thousands of years as natural amulets carried for strength, protection, and endurance.

Their magic isn’t dramatic.
It’s deep and rooted. They say:

“Hold to your path.
Anchor your intention.
Let nothing shake you”

Everything has energy. Learn it. Use it. Move the current.

Waxing gibbous and honestly that feels right. I’m always moving to get there.

This is finality magic:
• endings
• uncrossings
• “you don’t follow me anymore”
• protection with bite
• breaking the thread at the source

Their energy is old, deliberate, and very “get out and stay out.”
It’s no wonder they stain everything they touch, they mark endings the way ink marks a page.

Most folks toss these hulls without realizing they’re holding one of the strongest boundary botanicals on this continent.

Black Walnut hulls don’t cleanse, they erase.
They cut cords, dissolve attachments, and shut doors that should’ve been closed a long time ago.

Plant of the Day: Black Walnut Hulls

These falling from trees make your side walk look like a battlefield. They stain your hands and your clothes. But these things are magically badass.

Perfect for ending, cutting loose, and kicking out what shouldn’t stay.

So many uses including protection.

Oddities!

You’ve got a GARDEN. And books. And live in the PNW. Basically everything I dream. 😂 😂. Even the mundane have properties people miss or pass up. Everything has energy.

Pea plants? Way cooler and magical than people know. Those tomatoes though? I’ve never seen those before. Those are amazing.

I’m off to go stalk you. Everyone’s stuck on rosemary, bay, and sage. I’m Tired of hearing about them. 😂 Poisonous ones are some of my favorites. Ohhh, I’d love to grow Aconite.

Came up with a new ward today. Hopefully I’ll be able to put it together by the end of the night.

I get that. I’m hyper focused on plants right now, ones that people don’t normally use or know about. 😅 Can’t wait to see the selfies.

There must be soooo many! What’s your top favorite?

It’s spectacular! I would never leave. 😂 Not until I read everything.

😮All those BOOKS.

Thorns — fierce boundary energy, repels what shouldn’t come near.

Bark/Root — severing cords, breaking old ties, cutting energetic pursuit.

Berries — threshold magic, strengthening the home’s protective perimeter.

Leaves — gentler cleansing, smoothing chaotic energy.

Plant of the day: Japanese Barberry

They call it invasive and a nuisance but it’s actually a a tiny, angry ward growing right under our feet.

Those thorns? Boundary-setters.
Those berries? Threshold anchors.
Those branches? A natural maze for anything trying to get through.

This is why I’ve been solitary for most my life. Late diagnosed but at this point I’m just fine with it.

Emerald Greens don’t just protect.
They mislead anything trying to follow you, pushing it off your path and into dead ends.

They’re the cool, silent, emerald-armored badasses of the plant world… and witches should be using them way more than we do.
