New to Sex Magic?
Let’s explore… but before we do, please be advised that this article is in no way promoting sex for those who are new to it, virginal, celibate, or asexual. It is meant only as a supportive introduction to the subject and advises each practitioner to continue with pure heart and ethics in tow!
Sex magic is a form of deep spiritual practice that uses sexual energy to manifest one's intentions and desires. It has been practiced in many cultures, including Ancient Egypt, where sex magic rituals were used for everything from fertility rites to protection spells. Most of us practitioners believe that sex is an act of divine union between two beings. The witchier the better! Egyptian practitioners would often use symbols and gestures associated with sacred sexuality such as Tantric yoga poses or chanting mantras in order to raise their sexual energy and direct it towards a desired outcome, which some associate with the release of DMT in the brain. Ancient Egyptian priestesses also utilized plants, herbs, oils, incense, crystals, and other magical objects during their rituals to help them focus their intent on the divine. Through this practice they believed that by connecting with the higher power of creation they had access to more powerful forms of manifestation than human will alone could provide.

The menstrual cycle can often turn into a negative loop that drains your energy and makes you crave unhealthy food. You may feel sluggish, exhausted, experience painful cramps, your energy levels drop and the idea of a pain-free period seems like an impossible dream. But it doesn't have to be this way. By aligning with your hormones and adopting a healthier diet, you may be able to improve your menstrual experience.
This article will reveal the best foods for period pain relief. Equipped with this knowledge, you have the power to transform your life by eating your way to hormone balance.
Menstrual cramps are the result of uterine contractions, as the uterus is a muscle. When the contractions become too strong during the menstrual cycle, the uterus can push against blood vessels located nearby, briefly blocking oxygen to the uterus. This oxygen deprivation leads to pain and cramping. Additionally, hormone-like substances, known as prostaglandins, trigger muscle contractions. Women with elevated levels of prostaglandins typically suffer from more severe menstrual cramps. Therefore, maintaining hormone balance through proper nutrition is crucial for preventing menstrual cramps.

It's officially summer! The sweltering heat of the sun has arrived to cause a change in our skin's composition. Therefore, we need to adjust our skincare regimen for the summer months in order to ensure that our complexion remains healthy and glowing.
Humidity during the summer season causes our skin to generate more lipids and sebum which leads to an oily and sticky texture and clogged pores. Here are a few tips to help keep our skin looking beautiful during this season:
No matter the texture of your skin, regular cleansing and hydration are essential for controlling the production of oil and leaving your skin clean and healthy. During the summer months, a daily face wash can effectively reduce greasiness and give your skin a deep clean.
Hydration is crucial during summertime. To support your body in eliminating toxins, consume an increased amount of water as well as fruits and vegetables with high water content such as watermelons, coconuts, and other juicy produce. Additionally, consider adding cooling green vegetables like spinach, lettuce, amaranth, Chinese cabbage, and kale to your summer diet to cool your body from the inside out.
To summarize: Stay cool, stay hydrated, and keep your skin glowing all summer long with these amazing products

Bruja/o/x culture (brujería), stem from an ancient set of mystical beliefs and practices that have been passed down through generations in Latin America. It has its roots in the indigenous spiritual traditions of the region, as well as elements from African and European cultures and today’s Instagram hashtags #bruja and # brujería have over 2M posts combined.
As other magical practices, brujería orbits honoring spirits and deities, divination, nurturing specific traditional healing methods such as curanderismo, and rituals to protect oneself from negative energy. Get yer charms out!
In Latin American countries like Mexico, Peru, Ecuador, Cuba, Colombia, and Brazil it is still a vibrant part of daily life for many people, though there are some variations depending on location. The original practice was brought over by Spanish conquistadors during their colonization of the Americas, and the stories say the cobblestone streets were “paved in slave bones”—see a pattern of repressed magic much? Seems everywhere we turn there’s a need to rise up from the lid put on us for being natural… No longer, though. You watch! This next 20 years will have diverse magical cultures openly practicing without fear, the time is nigh 😊🌿☽🌕☾
Now evolved into something unique to each region, brujería remains a source of immense pride for those who practice this tradition, which continues to hold strong despite attempts to marginalize or even eradicate it

Moving into February, we welcome a new wave of balanced energy into our lives. It’s Aquarius season, baby, and that means it’s all about freedom and independence. Known as the water bearer, Aquarius season is often the time in which many of us undergo a lot of emotional healing and let go of old views of the world. This is also a powerful time for new ideas and brainstorming for the future, and can help us to find new ideas for how we wish to progress in our future.
Outside of the Aquarius, we also have other influences coming from other areas this month. Starting off, on the 11th, Mercury enters Aquarius, bringing expansion in our way of thinking that could invite an enlightened view of the future. Around the 18th, we enter Pisces season, bringing a deeper connection with our subconscious, emotions, and intuition, making this a powerful time of grounding and connecting deeper with ourselves. Lastly, around the 19th, Venus enters Aries, which is likely to allow the signs to take action in pursuing new love and help us to channel more confidence along the way.
All around, February is likely to be a powerful time of independence, enlightenment, increased awareness, and grounding. But, to give you a better idea of some energies that may be present around you this month, today, we're going to go over what energies and changes each Zodiac sign can expect throughout February and how you can adjust your life to make the most of them.

The new year is a time of new beginnings. It is a time of fresh ideas and new opportunities as we wipe the slate clean and prepare to embark on new adventures. However, outside of changes in our strive and mindset, it is also a time rich in new astrological events that are sure to bring many unique energies to our space all year long. While certain annual astrological events shake up our lives each year, there is always a chance for some new rare occurrences, as well as some events that are just likely to impact us more than others. And today, we’re going to talk all about them.
In this blog, we’re going to go over ten of the most significant astrological events of 2023 and how they’re likely to impact our lives. Let’s get started.
December 29, 2022
The new year is upon us, Zodiac signs, and it’s likely to be a big one. While 2022 was thought to be a year of insight, growth, and clarity for many of the signs, 2023 is likely to be a big one for change and alignment. While there are still likely to be trying times that challenge us and push us toward growth, this year is likely to help us stick closer to our divine path than ever before.
With that said, the year is going to kick off bright with a lot of energy for many of the signs, but it could also be a bit slow-moving. This is because we will start the new year off with both Mercury retrograde and Mars retrograde, which could make us feel slower, more irritable, and more emotional than usual. But thankfully, this will end before January is over, and we should have no problem getting back on track. In March, Saturn, the planet of responsibility, will enter the Pisces sign, which is likely to encourage the path ahead to clear and could help manifestations fall into place more easily. Later in the month, Pluto in Aquarius will likely bring changes to our lives that could have the potential to be quite big. As such, this is likely to be an auspicious time for the signs to align more with their destiny, as big changes are likely to begin pushing you in new directions.
