"I Feel Feminine" / "I Feel Masculine"
These sigils are mainly meant to help with body dysphoria and dysmorphia, but if they seem like something that would help you I encourage you to use them even if you're not transgender. Carry one or both of these sigils with you however you see fit, feel free to get creative with it.
You could carry it with you as your phone background You could carry it with you just as a slip of paper in your pocket You could even draw it on your face in concealer or lotion before blending it in
Disclaimer: I'm well aware as a nonbinary person myself that gender euphoria isn't just about feeling masculine or feminine and these sigils don't work for everybody's gender experience, they're not meant to, these sigils are specifically for people that want to feel more feminine or masculine or both. These sigils were made by that request. If they don't fit your needs and experience doesn't mean they don't fit or work for other peoples needs and experience of gender so don't come at me. I have sigils made for nonbinary experiences outside of the fem/masc experience, please take the time to look for them or send me a message and I'll be happy to send you links.
so excited about the new sinnoh games, so here's a chibi dialga to celebrate!
A quiet, starry night sky might not seem like a very eerie spectacle, but space can be a creepy place! Monsters lurk in the shadowy depths of the universe, sometimes hidden in plain sight. Many of them are invisible to our eyes, so we have to use special telescopes to see them. Read on to discover some of these strange cosmic beasts, but beware — sometimes fact is scarier than fiction.
You know those nightmares where no matter how fast you try to run you never seem to get anywhere? Black holes are a sinister possible version of that dream — especially because they’re real! If you get too close to a black hole, there is no possibility of escape.
Just last year our Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope traced an otherworldly ghost particle back to one of these monster black holes, providing additional insight into the many signals we’re picking up from some of the most feared creatures in the cosmic deep.
But it gets worse. Our Hubble Space Telescope revealed that these things are hidden in the hearts of nearly every galaxy in the universe. That means supermassive black holes lurk in the shadows of the night sky in every direction you look!
This fiendish specter lives in the center of the Milky Way, haunting our galaxy’s supermassive black hole. But it’s not as scary as it looks! Our SOFIA observatory captured streamlines tracing a magnetic field that appears to be luring most of the material quietly into orbit around the black hole. In other galaxies, magnetic fields seem to be feeding material into hungry black holes — beware! Magnetic fields might be the answer to why some black holes are starving while others are feasting.
The universe has bats in the attic! Hubble spotted the shadow of a giant cosmic bat in the Serpens Nebula. Newborn stars like the one at the center of the bat, called HBC 672, are surrounded by disks of material, which are hard to study directly. The shadows they cast, like the bat, can clue scientists in on things like the disk’s size and density. Our solar system formed from the same type of disk of material, but we can only see the end result of planet building here — we want to learn more about the process!
A jack-o-lantern in space?! Our Solar Dynamics Observatory watches the Sun at all times, keeping a close eye on space weather. In October 2014, the observatory captured a chilling image of the Sun with a Halloweenish face!
On Halloween a few years ago, an eerie-looking object known as 2015 TB145 sped across the night sky. Scientists observing it with our Infrared Telescope Facility determined that it was most likely a dead comet. It’s important to study objects like comets and asteroids because they’re dangerous if they cross Earth’s path — just ask the dinosaurs!
Trick-or-treat! Add a piece of glowing cosmic candy to your Halloween haul, courtesy of Hubble! This image shows the Saturn Nebula, formed from the outer layers ejected by a dying star, destined to be recycled into later generations of stars and planets. Our Sun will experience a similar fate in around five billion years.
Massive stars are in for a more fiery fate, as the Witch’s Broom Nebula shows. Hubble’s close-up look reveals wisps of gas — shrapnel leftover from a supernova explosion. Astronomers believe that a couple of supernovae occur each century in galaxies like our own Milky Way.
Supernovae usually herald the death of a star, but on a few occasions astronomers have found “zombie stars” left behind after unusually weak supernovae. Our Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) has even spotted a mysterious glow of high-energy X-rays that could be the “howls” of dead stars as they feed on their neighbors.
The universe is brimming with galaxies, but it’s also speckled with some enormous empty pockets of space, too. These giant ghost towns, called voids, may be some of the largest things in the cosmos, and since the universe is expanding, galaxies are racing even farther away from each other all the time! Be grateful for your place in space — the shadowy patches of the universe are dreadful lonely scenes.
Some forces are a lot creepier than floorboards creaking or a door slamming shut unexpectedly when you’re home alone. Dark energy is a mysterious antigravity pressure that our Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST) is going to help us understand. All we know so far is that it’s present everywhere in the cosmos (even in the room with you as you read this) and it controls the fate of the universe, but WFIRST will study hundreds of millions of galaxies to figure out just what dark energy is up to.

A small graphic about the sun and her phases!
I’ve noticed lately that a lot of witches think that being a solar witch is being happy, “sunny”, bright, etc. They think of the sun and they end it right there, of summer days and red skin and freckles. They aren’t wrong. Being a solar witch is that.
But.
Being a solar witch can be so much more. Our time of power doesn’t end when the sun goes down. The fact is, the sun is a star. And so many solar witches look up at the stars at night and feel a surge of power, a different kind, but power nonetheless. I’m not talking about past lives from other stars, although that may also be a contributor. I’m talking about how being a solar witch, truly, means being a star witch.
Solar witches feed off of the light of a billion stars, feel the cosmic winds from a billion suns.
We have power at night, too. Don’t forget that.

In honor of the sun, I have done a few new sigils
Top: “Blessed by the Sun”

The sun is an enormous force in our lives. She can do a lot of good, but she can also do a lot of damage. One of my favorite things to say is how most things have duality or multifaceted parts. The sun also has positive and negative sides. A gentle sun in spring is still the same sun in a scorching desert. Negative aspects and feelings are a part of life and completely normal, but they should be managed in a respectable way. They are not an excuse to harm people.
🌿 Self confidence
🌿 The ability to “light up a room” and make people laugh
🌿 Nurturing
🌿 Banishing negativity
🌿 Powersource or a source of inspiriation for others
🌿 Protecting others
🌿 Creativity in the arts
🌿 Being prideful to a fault
🌿 Intense anger/rage
🌿 Burning people by harming them through words or actions
🌿 Obsessive behavior
🌿 Feeling too much
🌿 Being easily exhausted
These are the ones that really stand out for me, but any other solar witches feel free to add any I missed!

good blogs that post about solar witchcraft: @healing-sun-witch @solarianwitch
and a solar witchcraft playlist. or two.
an old spell of mine i had posted on an old side account before deleting the blog, but i’m reposting it here on my new witchcraft side blog. a jar spell that charges in the sun to keep your space protected. this ward is strongest in late spring and summer.
☀️ gather: jar, black tea leaves, green tea leaves, cayenne pepper, apple seed, black candle
☀️ light your black candle
☀️ layer the ingredients one by one into your jar. black tea grounds to expel negative energy and entities, green tea leaves to amplify energy and behave as a catalyst, cayenne pepper for offensive magic/quick results/heat, then one by one place a desired amount of apple seed*
☀️ as you drop your apple seed, affirm “for every attack on this ward, it is reflected to the attacker ten times the amount for every apple seed in this jar”
☀️ spit inside the jar and seal with candle wax
☀️ place in a section of your home where it can be in direct sunlight and recharge (or reheat) as needed.
*while apple seed may be used as a love spell ingredient, due to the resin properties within it can also be used for curses*
NGC 6960, The Witch’s Broom
Essential oil free!
1. A sudden burst of sunlight, as through broken clouds
I just made my batch for this winter and I thought I'd share this recipe with you!
Good for: Physical Healing, Protection, Divination, Happiness, Love, Creativity, Prophesy, Truth, Solar Deities
Medically: cools and softens skin, helps heal small cuts, burns, irritations, SAD, breaking fever, purifying, anti bacterial, helps relieve anxiety and depression
Grapeseed or sunflower oil
Dried hibiscus
Dried juniper berries
Dried Bay leaves
Dried citrus peel
Dried dandelion root
Rosemary
A cinnamon stick
If you want to add essential oils you can, I didnt for this batch but In the past I've used frankincense, lemon, orange, cinnamon, vetiver, black pepper, sandalwood, and juniper
Best to grind the ingredients before adding them to the oil (except the cinnamon stick)
Makes a great offering for any solar deity like apollo, sol, helios, sekhmet
Let infuse in the sunshine for a few weeks-months depending on how much oil you're making, or if you want it faster & stronger you can heat it up until it turns red from the hibiscus
It smells so good so it's an excellent natural perfume, and it's great for your skin!
I tend to go heavy on the hibiscus and juniper in this but the amounts used are up to you.
Crystal infusions: citrine, garnet, carnelian
NGC 6960, Witch’s Broom
I am a solar witch by nature, and I feel like a lot of people don’t understand the protection the sun gives us. The sun is the most dynamic and powerful energy source known to us, hands down. All cosmic light comes from her. Yes, even the moon gets its light from the sun, though most people, myself included, consider the moon a separate entity. I’ve never been attacked or had any negative energy dare come near me in full sunlight. She is powerful and she does not leave.
So, instead of disappearing at night, she simply goes into another form. This is the time solar energy transforms from the singular yellow sun to the more cosmic power of the stars. This is the time when the colder fire of the universe is visible. Starlight is the most mysterious part of solar magick, one that’s softer and comforting, yet incomprehensible.
⭐️ The more stars you can see, the more powerful your spells!
⭐️ If it’s the time of year a certain constellation is visible, you can focus on spells regarding that zodiac or deity
⭐️ August is one of the best months for meteor showers
⭐️ Star water is a thing! It can be affected by whatever constellation you set it under as well
⭐️ Individual stars can also have different spells attached to them (i.e. the morning star, the north star, etc)
⭐️ All crystals are safe to charge under starlight
⭐️ Secret magick
⭐️ Cerebral magick
⭐️ Questions about other beings or entities
⭐️ Divination
⭐️ Spells about our purpose as a being on this plane of existence
⭐️ Spells about our purpose as a being on the next plane of existence
⭐️ Spells for a peaceful sleep or recovery
⭐️ Spells to recharge your astral power or energy sink
⭐️ Spells about dreams or spells trying to induce lucid dreaming
⭐️ Spells for contacting those who are no longer with us
Other witches feel free to reblog with any other tips or spells! My other solar spell guides and general magick guides are here and here!
Sun tea is used to connect with the Sun, a Sun deity, or to feel the energy of the Sun within and or around you.
This is my Sun tea recipe:
Bay leaves
Orange peels
Black tea
Lemon juice
Honey
First, you boil the bay leaves and orange peels in a pot of water. I don’t count the minutes, I usually wait until the water is a greenish color. Once that’s done, pour the tea into a cup with some black tea (I usually use 2 packs of black tea to make it strong). Squeeze some lemon juice and use honey as a sweetener. If you don’t have honey, it’s okay to just use sugar and it’s also okay to use store bought lemon juice.
I usually make my tea pretty strong (I like it that way) and I tend to measure by eyeballing and tasting instead so sorry about there not being a precise measurement for the bay leaves and orange peels to use.
So yeah, that’s my sun tea recipe. Pretty simple and tasty and a good way to connect to the Sun or deity.
I made a sun positivity, happiness, and protection spell jar! 🌞

☀️Orange essential oil
☀️Lemon essential oil
☀️Grapefruit essential oil
☀️Frankincense essential oil
☀️Black pepper essential oil
☀️Rosemary essential oil
☀️Cinnamon essential oil

Crystal: citrine, sunstone, golden calcite, tiger’s eye, clear quartz
Flame: match or candle
Location: A quiet place in the sun, inside or outside is fine.

☀️Sun Meditations☀️
This can be done right before any kind of Sun magic or working with Sun deities. It’s also a easy way to recharge your personal energies. If you’re tired and in need of an energy boost during the day use this exercise to recharge your energy levels. It’s also an excellent way to raise energy for any type of healing work
🌞If possible, sit outside in a sunny spot where you will not be disturbed or, if it’s cold outside, stand by a window where the Sun’s light can shine on you. Sit in a comfortable position.
🌞 Close your eyes. Feel the warmth of the sun on your skin. Take 3 deep breaths in-and-out and allow your body to relax.
🌞Turn your hands palm up, raise them to the sky (if that’s comfortable, just resting them on your lap, palms open, works just as well). See the Sun’s energy streaming towards you, and then draw it between your hands until you hold a fiery, golden orb of light.
🌞Slowly lower your hands. As you do, see the Sun’s energy filling your body. See the Sun’s energy filling your head then lower your hands to your chest and see it filling your heart in the core of your being.
🌞Lower your hands again and see the Sun’s energy fill the lower part of your body, going down the soles of your feet. Repeat as many times as you wish.
This meditation is my favorite way to ground. The sun and earth work in harmony to bring you balance and strength.
🌍 If possible, sit outside in a sunny spot where you will not be disturbed or, if it’s cold outside, stand by a window where the Sun’s light can shine on you. Sit in a comfortable position.
☀️Hold your hands palms up. See a ray of golden light shining on you. Concentrate on the light. Concentrate on emotions being felt and physical sensations. Feel or imagine its warmth on your skin.
🌍Take a deep breath, and as you do, see the sunlight filling you. Take 2 more deep breaths, or until you feel filled with sunlight.
☀️Now place your hands Palm down on the ground to either side of you. Imagine reaching down through the Earth - down, down to the fiery core of the planet.
🌍Take a deep breath and, pulling up the fires that are at the heart of the Earth, take 2 more deep breaths until you are filled with the fires of the Earth.
☀️Place your palms over your heart. See the golden sunlight in the fires at the core of the Earth mix and blend as they fill in circulate through your being.
☀️Say or think:
Fires above, fires below
Within, without I am whole

☀️sunrise is the best time for: healing, positivity, happiness, anti-anxiety/depression, spirituality, self care/love, air magic, cleansing, soft energy/ positive energy amplifier, truth spells, protection, and peace
☀️sunrise associations: citrine, lemon, peaches, ginger, orange, morning dew, orange calcite, coffee, bergamot, lime, earl grey, mint, sage, cinnamon, grapefruit, morning glory, marigold, saffron, calendula, daylily, daisy, black tea, and frankincense
☀️tips and things to try:
🌞yoga (especially sun salutations!)
🌻sunbathe in the sunrise to cleanse and charge with positive energy
🌞if you can’t wake up before/during sunrise, just leave your window blinds open to help you wake up naturally and/or to charge in the sunlight while you’re sleeping
🌻this is a great time for tea and coffee magic
🌞this is a great time to charge stones, especially sun-sensitive stones. (Here’s a post on solar stones)
🌻listen to and charge with soft or acoustic music
🌞 spend some time outside, take some deep breaths of fresh air, enjoy the birds chirping, flowers, dew, fog, and the beautiful colors in the sky that sunrise brings
🌻charge some lemon juice in the sunrise for extra boost of cleansing, positivity, and happiness properties (to make it stronger you can infuse it with mint or grapefruit, which both have similar properties and correspond with sunrise)
🌞if you’re comfortable with it, leave an offering out for sunrise deities and dawn sprites & other sun fae
🌻sunrise is a spiritual time, it’s the perfect time for meditation, exploring spirituality, astral travel, etc.
🌞here’s my post on how to connect to the elements in the morning/dawn
☀️My sunrise recipes:
🍋Sunrise tea: (has cleansing, happiness, positivity, energy boost, and protection properties)
1 part grapefruit (be careful if you’re on medication) optional
1 part sage or basil (whichever you prefer, both work)
1 part lemon
1 part orange
1 part mint
1 part hibiscus
🍊Sunrise oil/diffuser blend: (helps you connect to the sunrise, and it’s energy. It has positivity, happiness, anti-depression/anxiety, glamour, cleansing, and love properties)
Bergamot
Grapefruit
Rosemary
Lime
🍑Dawn faeries/spirtes:
☀️What they’re like- human looking, lots of pinks (their skin as well as ‘clothes’), they love dancing during sunrise, waking up the animals and plants sweetly, happy attitude, gentle, they love dew, pink clouds, they have a soft yet sparkly pink glow (it feels warm but not hot), and can bring about peaceful and positive feelings
☀️Offerings- rose quartz!!!, grapefruit, pink chyroprase, pink roses, peaches, peach roses, peony, geranium, hibiscus, marigold
☀️Deities associated with sunrise- Eos, Aurora, Hemera, Alectrona, Neaera, Mitra, Saranyu
Lemons- happiness, vitality, friendship, rejuvenation, clarity, cleansing, healing, protection, solar energy.
Sugar- sweetness in life, happiness, attraction.
You'll need enough lemons to make 1/2 cup of squeezed lemon juice. For me, that was 3 lemons.
Before juicing them, separate the zest (the bright yellow part of the peel, not the white pith underneath, which will make your syrup bitter).
Then juice the lemons, and add to a pot with 3/4 to 1 cup of white sugar.
Let it boil, and once it does, reduce the boil to a simmer for 10 minutes. If you think the syrup is not thick enough, add more sugar.
Add the zest and turn off the heat entirely. Once it has cooled, strain it to remove all the zest and any pulp. Don't leave the zest in the syrup, even if it looks aesthetically appealing, because it'll turn bitter.
Keep it covered and chilled and it can keep up to a year. You can add it to teas, cocktails, use it for lemonade, drizzle it on pastries, etc.
