bless this new trend of saying ‘yikes’ honestly this is the word i’ve been looking for my whole life. the perfect combination of disinterested, detached, amused, and passive aggressive. five letters that say so much yet are vague enough that you won’t get involved in any drama
A lot of you may know me and my bedridden posts from my main blog, @heatherwitch. For those of you who don’t: I’m both mentally and chronically ill and do a majority of my worship to Hestia from my bed!
Burn a candle on your nightstand, or use an electronic one!
Open your curtains and let the sunlight warm the room.
Make a potful of tea and keep it in a large thermos.
Watch movies that make you feel nostalgic and cozy.
Make a spray that smells yummy and use it when things feel a bit stale.
Set aside time to read a good book.
Knit or crochet. Craft something with your hands.
Say goodnight and good morning to her.
Get an electric blanket and feel the warmth connect you to her.
Cuddle with pets if you have them (or a stuffed animal).
Make a blog/journal filled with cozy, homely things.
Keep a few locally baked goodies nearby for when you need them.
String up fairy lights and use them as your only light source.
Whisper prayers and devotional pieces before you go to sleep.
Use a Himalayan salt lamp to connect to feeling of a fire.
Invest in little things (pillowcases, photos, curtains, etc.) that make your room feel welcoming and peaceful.
Make a little bottle filled with herbs, crystals, and other things that remind you of her, and keep it near – like a portable altar!
Listen to music that makes your soul happy and your heart content.
Take care of yourself. Brush your hair, use a wet cloth on your face. Be gentle and kind to yourself.
My other post on devotional acts for Hestia can be found [here], and my posts on bedridden witchcraft [here].
Because everyone gets sick, even witches! Witchcraft does not replace proper medical care, and please be cautious when using herbs and do proper research*
There is an old belief in Serbian villages and small towns that certain pumpkins (and watermelons), when left outside during a full moon, will turn in to a vampire.
