    🌻 Litha Sabbat Is Almost Here!

    Litha, the summer solstice, arrives on June 21-22, marking the peak of the sun’s power and the height of summer’s bloom. It’s a perfect time to honor light, growth, and transformation.

    ☀️Here’s what you can do:

    Refresh your altar with summer herbs, crystals, and symbols of fire and sun Make simple offerings like flowers, herbs, or even a small glass of water or wine.

    🍃Celebrate on a budget by spending time outside soaking up the sun or journaling your intentions.

    📥 If you work on the solstice, take a moment during breaks to light a candle, say an affirmation, or set an intention for the season.

    👁️ Keep an eye out for more posts and content focused on Litha, Lilith, solstice magic, and self-love as the day approaches.

    Speaking of Lilith A Little About her ayeee.

    Lilith’s energy is deeply tied to radical self-love, independence, and reclaiming power. You’ll see her influence woven through this Sabbat’s magic and the self-love spell bags dropping this season.

    🖊️ New Poems Are Here!

    Fresh releases include:

    The Moon Doesn’t Judge

    I Am The Echo

    And

    Top Surgery

    🚨 Stay tuned for more poems dropping soon.

    👏🏻 Info below on the spell bag I said was dropping this season and more

    🌸 Built for Blooming

    Self-Love Spell Bag Showcase

    This bag was built with intention and growth, for healing, for soft power that doesn’t need to explain itself. Made to carry you through the brightest part of the year and still hold you close in the darker ones.

    Each spell bag is a layered offering of gentle strength and self-adoration. Nestled in a pink bag with a white outer shell, it contains a handcrafted blend of crystal chips and herbs carefully chosen for confidence, inner balance, and protection of the heart.

    🔮 What’s Inside:

    Crystals:

    • 1 amethyst chip

    • 3 rose quartz chips

    Herbs + Additions:

    • Pink salt

    • Rosemary

    • Lavender

    • White willow bark

    • Lemongrass

    🔥 Energetic Focus:

    Self-worth that glows from within

    Softness with sharp edges

    Confidence like firelight

    A quiet bloom that never needs permission

    🌙 Care and Use:

    Recharge under full moonlight or strong sunlight every month.

    Keep in your purse, under your pillow, on your desk, in your car, or resting on your altar.

    🖤 Optional Lilith Note:

    For those called to radical self-love, defiance, and reclaiming the body on your terms… this bag holds space for Lilith’s fire too. She who never begged to be smaller.

    🛍️ [Available now – https://poeaxtry.etsy.com or DM/email for custom requests.]

    ✨ More Magic Now Available

    Alongside Built for Blooming, three other handcrafted spell bags have joined the lineup — each one with its own focused energy and enchantment. These bags are made with the same care and layered intention, blending herbs, crystals, and color work to support different spiritual needs:

    🌶️ Magnetic Attraction – 6 red bags

    Draw in heat, intensity, and lustful connection. For when you want to feel seen and sought after.

    🌿 Prosperity & Abundance – 8 green bags

    Plant seeds and watch your blessings multiply. A steady flow of grounded wealth and opportunities.

    🔥 Bonding Flame Spell – 4 red bags with black outer layer

    For passion with roots. Romantic fire meant to last. Bold love, loyal connection, deep craving.

    Each is available now. Custom combinations and requests are welcome just send a message or email. Do note each of these bags is limited. So, when they’re gone, they’re truly gone. If I recreate the exact same blend, it will be sold under the same name. If it’s a different mix made with similar intent, it will carry a new name or if the ingredients are almost identical we may call it 2.0 or something. It will be clearly marked as a remix or variation of the original. These are living spells, tied to the moment and what materials speak at the time.

    Allergy concerns? Though I do live in the moment and create with intent health concerns are obviously not something I take lightly. Please email me! I’ll get you the item you want minus your allergen or something else that fits your need and keeps you safe.

  • In the Heat I Become; A Litha Journal on Aliveness and Self Discovery

    In the Heat I Become; A Litha Journal on Aliveness and Self Discovery

    What parts of myself feel the most alive under the heat of summer

    It’s the version of me that comes out dripping in sweat. There is dirt under my nails. I hold a rock in my hand. It’s the me who forgets what time it is. I’ve been outside too long. I trace trails with my feet and stories with my eyes. Summer makes me reckless in a soft way. Not chaotic. Not destructive. Just free. The sun makes my skin hum. I feel more real when it’s hot enough to blur the edges of things.

    Water

    I come alive near water. In it. Around it. Listening to the hush and crash of it. Watching the way it sparkles and swallows light and tosses it back up. There’s a version of me that only shows up in July. A version that lets things slide more easily. That laughs more. That eats with bare hands. That lets sweat gather at the back of my neck and doesn’t try to hide it.

    Nature is Demanding

    I complain about the bugs and the heat but I think I like that too. The way nature demands I participate. I like having to move slower. To swat something away. To know I’m not the only thing alive out here.

    The dirt feels like home. The sun feels like a crown. Even when I’m tired. Even when I’m burned out. I am most myself under this fire. My body remembers how to trust itself. My breath gets bigger.

    I don’t just exist in summer. I live in it. I stretch. I bloom. I let the world see me without apology.
