The Inked Grimoire

Persephone embodies the duality of the divine feminine. She is the Goddess of Spring and the Queen of the Underworld. She’s the beautiful maiden picking flowers and a goddess of death. She reminds us that we can be both beautiful and terrifying, we can embody all ages and eras at once, and we deserve to be deeply loved.

Get ready for big feelings as we step into the first week of Virgo season with the Full Moon in Pisces. It’s also a lunar eclipse and the second in this round of Eclipse Season. We can look forward to illuminations and epiphanies, and our pathways of communication will be wide open. Let’s get into it!

Sympathetic magick might sound like you're sending someone a card and a casserole, but that's not what's happening here. Sympathetic magick is a form of magick that affects a person by acting on something that represents them. The first thing most people picture is a poppet, and while that's a solid entry point, it's nowhere near the whole story.

It’s time to nurture your inner child and step out of the shadows into confidence and more creativity! The New Moon in Leo on August 12^th is also a solar eclipse, and it’s a powerful manifestation event that will help activate new timelines. Yes, really! Let’s get into it.

Freya is the Norse goddess of witchcraft, magick, beauty, love, sex, and war. She wears a feathered cloak and her signature magickal amber necklace, Brísingamen, drives a chariot pulled by two enormous gray cats, and answers to no one. She's also the one who brought the magick of Seiðr to the gods, Odin included.

We’re all born with psychic abilities, but sometimes we want help tapping into them. Two of the easiest and most accessible tools for developing your psychic abilities are gemstones and herbs. Here’s a list of both that will help you strengthen your intuition, practice divination, enhance your dream magick practice, and more.

Fresh ideas, collective good, and innovation are the themes we'll all be feeling with the Full Moon in Aquarius on July 29th. Aquarius is an air sign, but it's the fixed air sign, which makes it the most grounded of the three. It brings intentionality to its revolutionary drive, and it exists in a continual state of filling and releasing.

Psychic ability isn’t a rare gift handed to a chosen few. It’s an instinct you already have, buried under years of being told to be logical, be quiet, and stop making things up. Hey, maybe you really were seeing your “imaginary friend” when you were a kid! The key is to get out of your own way and allow curiosity to take over, where you might try to logic your way out of connecting with your natural psychic abilities.

This New Moon is going to have you all in your feelings, but that's not a bad thing. Cancer is soft and sensitive, sure, but it's also tough and protective. The sign is the crab, and if you've ever been pinched by one, you know it's not all softness and easygoing vibes. Let's get into it.

Bast is a daughter of the sun, a fierce protector, and a goddess who knows that pleasure and power can live in the same body at the same time. Cats are objectively adorable, sure, but reduce her to a cutesy altar cloth or a cute cat mug, and you miss the fire that made her one of the most beloved and feared goddesses in ancient Egypt.

It's time to get clear on your priorities and look at how you've built your lifestyle over the past year with the Full Moon in Capricorn! This lunation will help you reflect on your values, career, and true purpose in this lifetime. It's a beautiful, gentle wake-up call waiting for you to answer.

Having trouble speaking your truth and using your voice? These eight stones won't do the talking for you, but they'll back you up while you remember how. Consider them backup, not one-and-done fixes for a voice that already knows what it wants to say.
