SPIRITUAL SURVIVAL KIT: January - Self Care


The New Year. Festivities are over, you are perhaps going back to work, you're all partied out... the list is endless of things we lament/regret in January. Therefore I thought that this month's spiritual survival kit would be one of self-care to get our groove back!

I have been doing these monthly talismans for a while, but I've not actually featured them on Instagram or the blog before. But with the new decade upon us, I thought it was time. So here's how it works; you gather the supplies, throw a little ritual (don't forget to take a photo/mental note of the setup) with a meditation and stuff most of the ingredients in a small bag which you carry with you. You can then draw on your meditation and the photo of the setup if you need a boost!

This month's tarot card is The Empress, you can read all about it on Biddy Tarot. I chose it because it shows you that you can create beauty in your life, and you are allowed to love and care for yourself like you were an Empress/Emperor.

For this month's kit you need;

  • a small pink or green bag
  • rose quartz (I use a heart shaped one)
  • lavender herb
  • The Empress tarot card

Gather the ingredients and set up sacred space. Take a photo of the setup, this will be useful, trust me, If it is on your phone even better as you can refer to it at any time. Light a candle if you can, and set yourself up to meditate on The Empress card. You might also want to include appropriate affirmations, perhaps even written down on paper to include in your bag.

Meditate on the card, remind yourself that you are allowed to love and care for yourself, and doing so is going to benefit those who depend on you to be at full force! Once you feel ready, maybe saying your chosen affirmation, put the crystal and the herb in the bag and seal it up. Release the sacred space and go about your day. I like to keep my talisman in my handbag for on the go, and it sits next to the bed at night.

Let me know if you will be trying this out - tag me on Instagram @linaelvirabizz if you do, so I can see your creations!

Using Day One as a digital grimoire?

So it’s autumn again, my favourite season! Around Mabon I tend to get a bit spiritually invigorated; life slows down, routines seem to return and I find it easier to get back into magic practice. One of the shifts this year is away from my paper journals, just generally. In the last few years of trying to do paper journals etc nothing consistent has come of it. I am just too busy. What I need is something that is instantly available when I have 10 minutes without the kids or work or house chores. And doesn’t require me to go to a specific room of the house to find specific pens, tape, stickers etc. Sound like you?… Read on… Mind you this is a fake one I did just for this article; I don’t know about y’all but no one reads my Grimoire but me… Digital journaling was not possible for me until I was gifted an old iPad Pro with an Apple Pencil. And after that, the only consistent bullet journaling I’ve done, has been on Goodnotes. But even then, I needed my iPad and the pencil. What if I wan...

GRIMOIRE: What do I do?

When I was teaching witchcraft back in the mists of time, #1 question was, hands down, "Can I see your Book of Shadows?". If you're Wiccan, you know this is how Wiccans refer to their grimoire, spell book or whatever you want to call it. I had a really shit system back in the day - literally it was a massive ring binder with print-outs from the internet, photocopies (who remembers those??) and clippings pasted onto paper. I'd show it to students and they'd all be like.. They clearly thought I had this huge, leather-bound tome of calligraphy and detailed mystical illustrations. No. Maybe I should take it out of the loft and do a video?! Today, that binder has been replaced by Evernote. Yes, Evernote. Cuz ain't nobody got time for paper in this day and age. And also, Evernote goes wherever you go, on your laptop, tablet and phone (not sponsored, haha). You don't need to have a physical journal, it can literally be Evernote or just a giant W...
