The Inked Grimoire

Scrying is an ancient divination practice rooted in Ancient China, Egypt, and Greece. Scrying is accessible to anyone who wants to practice it, and it doesn’t have to include large-scale predictions about the world or the future.

There’s a lot of talk about the divine feminine and divine masculine lately. One is sometimes perceived as being better than the other, and that’s simply untrue. Together, they create a divine alignment that can transform with you depending on your situation or needs.

Life can get heavy sometimes, and it’s important to have practices for your mind, body, and soul when you need them. So, we got together to share our favorite practices with you. We hope these help you connect even more with yourself. Here’s what we witches at ICG recommend!

Mother Goddesses embody the essence of motherhood, creation, and fertility, as well as destruction and the seasons. As such, they are the perfect combination of every aspect of the life cycle. They are present in various religions and traditions and give us the chance to tune into nature and the spiritual world around us. Are you ready to work with or honor a Mother Goddess?

Air is constantly moving and changing. While Air can be still, it’s always all around us, and it shifts with the smallest movement. It’s a masculine element and radiates with Yang energy. This element affects communication – especially in relationships – knowledge, power, and can promote change.

We’ve seen them in pop culture and, perhaps, in our everyday lives: psychic abilities, nagging intuitive messages that eventually prove accurate, and strange physical sensations. 

Moving from spring to summer is the perfect time to focus on creating a balance between the fiery energy bursts of passion and creativity, and the flowing serenity of healing and peace. These gemstones can help you bring a piece of both elements of fire and water to your altar and home to create more harmony. 

The world could always use a little more love, but especially right now, sending love out to Mother Earth and connecting with the entire human race in a meaningful way is more important than ever. These gemstones will enhance that connection and send loving energy across the globe. 

We hope these six gemstones for Ostara will grant your practice some powerful and unique energy.
