Hi I'm new here. Kind of a noob when it comes to witchcraft. Little back story: my grandma (omi) passed a few years ago, we finally sold her house this summer. One big part of my childhood and my cousins, with our Omi, is her garden specifically her raspberry bush. I harvested some leaves from her raspberry bush and I wouldnt Iike to make 11 charms, one for myself, my brother, and each of my cousins so that we all have a piece of her. I'm thinking im going to put the leaves in a little pouch or maybe jar so that you can see them. Any recommendations for making these into charms? Any other herbs or rocks i would add? I was thinking of putting a layer of dirt on the bottom to make it like a mini garden. Thoughts/advice is much appreciated :) thanks!

My family just got Apple TV and I was sent the invite link, but when I go to sign in it gives me an error messgae saying that I have to update my acount using OS device. I do not have ANY apple products. I have an android phone. Why can't I sign in? This is really frustrating that js is so complicated and it is definitely reinforcing why I dislike apple products and their elitist mindset that you HAVE to have their products.

Been YEARS and at the point of using like a can a day which was getting expensive and my gums started hurting. I used my last can of Rogue pouches and now I've fully switched to nicotine gum. It is so much better and so freeing to not feel the constant urge to put a gd pouch in my mouth.

So randomly the song Onward Christian Soldiers just started playing inside the chaotic mess I call my brain and now not only is it stuck in my head, but I also had to beg the question, what is the Christian obsession with thinking that being a Christian is like being a soldier going to war? Like wtf? Lol

I have been teaching guitar lessons for a several years now on the side from my day job. I reall enjoy it, but it's slowed down immensely and so I am considering switching from teaching 30 minute lessons to full hour sessions for the few students that I have. I only have a handful of students and I feel likea full hour would be more worth my time and their time, and i would actually make more money (not that it is about the money). My question is, how should I structure my lessons to fill the entire hour. We usually review some stuff, work on something new technique wise, practice that a little, and then maybe if there's time work on a song. It takes about 30-40 minutes and quite honestly I already tend to go 5-10 minutes over anyways (which I dont charge for). I feel like I should have my students just simply practice the material with me there during lessons and this would allow time for that, but I kinda feel bad wasting that time where i am basically not teaching anything new and just am making them practice the same thing like 20 times, but also a lot of them dont practice what they need to and it shows and this would probably help. Anyway any advice would be great. Also if you have any curriculum recommendations that would be sweet. I kinda just do my own thing which has beenfine up until now but if i make this switch i will definitely need to have more structure to my lesson planning.

This is my own personal creed which I wrote and often reflect on.

The Way:

Thou shalt seek empathy for the sake of passion,

Thou shalt seek passion for the sake of strength,

Thou shalt seek strength for the sake of resilience,

Thou shalt seek resilience for the sake of wisdom,

Thou shalt seek wisdom for the sake of enlightenment,

Thou shalt seek enlightenment for the sake of purpose,

Thou shalt seek purpose for the sake of personal growth,

Thou shalt seek personal growth for the sake of the betterment of the universe.

All are the universe,

All are one.

If any shalt defile the fabric of the universe, let them feel and overcome the shadows of the sins by which they have committed.

Allow the opportunity of redemption for all always,

Forgive and be forgiven,

Create peace and be at peace,

Fight for justice and be justified,

Persue the knowledge of all perspectives,

Seek guidance from each encounter,

Gain wisdom from every experience,

Provide the necessary care for that which surrounds you,

Fear nothing but the potential of losing ones trueself,

Be vigilant of that which is in need,

Be one with all,

Be all with one.

Thus hereby declares the code of conduct for which all things shall be permitted to be in harmony in the universe,

This is the promise,

This is the way.
