We Remember – Plus Soothe Your Skin!

May 31, 2021 by Angie McKain Leave a Comment

Today is Memorial Day in the US, and while it’s a fun, long weekend, and usually touted as the unofficial start to summer (unless you’re here in Pennsylvania this year, where it’s cold and rainy). However, it’s also a day where we remember those who lost their lives fighting for our freedoms. Today we remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice and the families of those brave men and women. We thank you for service, we thank you for your bravery, we thank you for our freedoms, and we thank you for your sacrifice. 

In Flanders Fields
BY JOHN MCCRAE

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

 

Quick DIY Skin-Soothing Roll-On

With this being the kick-off for the summer season in the US, I thought today I’d give you a recipe for a quick, easy, and soothing roller bottle recipe that you can whip up in just minutes. This roller bottle blend is great to have on hand in the summer months because it can soothe the skin after small burns, bug bites, scratches, sunburn, or even rashes caused by heat, poison ivy, etc. I like to keep a bottle of this close by because we use it so much, and I ALWAYS have a bottle on hand in my kitchen.

Ingredients:

Vegetable Oil of Choice – I like to use liquid coconut oil for this, can be fractionated or non-fractionated.

Tea Tree Essential Oil

Lavender Essential Oil

Empty 10 ml roller bottle

How To:

Add 4 drops of Tea Tree Oil to empty roller bottle

Add 5 drops of Lavender Oil to the Tea Tree

Top off roller bottle with vegetable oil – whatever you have on hand is fine!

Cap the roller bottle and roll gently between your hands to make sure all ingredients are mixed together thoroughly.

Happy Crafting!

Self-Love Spell Bath Bomb: Venus Ritual for Witchcraft and Beauty Spells

In modern witchcraft, self-love is a revolutionary act of magic. Whether you’re deep in shadow work or simply craving a moment of softness, crafting a bath ritual around self-worth is one of the most powerful spells you can cast. This Self-Love Bath Bomb Spell channels the energy of Venus, Aphrodite, and divine feminine beauty, helping you draw in love, radiance, and inner peace.

Using sacred ingredients with metaphysical correspondences like rose, vanilla, and pink Himalayan salt, this spell bath bomb turns your tub into a temple of unconditional self-devotion. This is glamour magick from the inside out.

Purpose

To open the heart, boost confidence, and draw loving energy to yourself. Best used on a Friday (Venus day) or during the waxing moon.

Scent Meaning

  • Rose: Romantic, soft, divine feminine energy
  • Vanilla: Comfort, sweetness, emotional warmth

Color & Ingredient Symbolism

  • Pink Himalayan Salt: Love, purification, emotional healing
  • Strawberry or Hibiscus Powder: Passion, sweetness, beauty
  • Rose Petals: Attraction, self-devotion
  • Pink Color: Love, compassion, Venus and Aphrodite energy

Ingredients

  • 1 cup baking soda
  • 1/2 cup citric acid
  • 1/2 cup pink Himalayan salt
  • 1 tbsp powdered strawberry or hibiscus
  • 1 tsp dried rose petals
  • 10 drops of rose essential oil
  • 5 drops vanilla oil
  • Witch hazel in a spray bottle
  • Rose quartz chip (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl.
  2. Mix essential oils into a small amount of melted carrier oil and stir into the bowl.
  3. Add pink mica or beetroot powder for color if desired.
  4. Spritz mixture with witch hazel until it holds together.
  5. Press into molds, adding rose quartz to the center if using.
  6. Let set and dry for 24 hours.

“I am worthy. I am love. I am enough.”

Ritual Instructions

  1. Cleanse your space using rose, lavender, or sandalwood incense.
  2. Light a pink candle and place a mirror beside the bath.
  3. Gently speak or chant affirmations into the water.
  4. Gaze into the mirror and say your name with love.
  5. After the bath, write a letter to yourself as if you were your own soulmate.

Self-love spells are not vanity—they’re soul nourishment. By setting time aside to bathe in sacred energy, you’re reminding your heart of its inherent worth. Keep a journal nearby, and write any insights that surface. This witchcraft beauty ritual is more than skincare—it’s sacred spellwork for your soul.

Use this bath bomb any time you feel disconnected, unloved, or in need of a magical reset. The more you love yourself, the more the universe responds in kind.
