Combing the purifying powers of salt, uplifting cleansing lemon and protective purifying bay leaves in this simple way to cleanse and remove unwanted energy. great for dorm rooms or areas where cleansing with smoke isn’t allowed.
Materials Needed:
Very small bowl or cup
Sea Salt
3 Bay Leaves
Lemon Juice
Gather and collect materials.
Fill your chosen container with salt, then add a few drops of lemon juice (i like to personally add 9). Once this done mix together in a clockwise motion.
Add the 3 bay leaves. stick them into the salt and leave half of them showing. (so that are sticking up like little spikes)
Place in an area where it wont be disturbed, change as needed.
(Optional) sometimes when i am trying to obtain i certain affect i add other herbs to the salt and lemon mixture. such as lavender, mint, rose or rosemary
So the square a day blanket is complete! It was meant to be a year’s worth but I stuck to 6 months otherwise it would have been massive.. (at least more massive than it is now)
It’s really heavy and smells lovely so it’s the perfect comforting blanket, giving off cosy and safe vibes.
I’m hoping to back it with some brushed cotton just so it has a nicer finish, but I may have to pay the tailor to do that for me as my sewing skills are pretty dire.
I reckon I’m well on my way to the victorian granny reincarnated as a 21st c girl aesthetic that I aspire to.
A lot of pets will ignore you, but only a cat will follow you from room to room and check your lines of vision to make absolutely certain that you can see them ignoring you.
theyre not ignoring you! this is actually just a cats way of saying they want to keep you company without infringing on your personal space. its the equivalent of going to a friends house while you both separately scroll through tumblr, even though youre glad to be together. alternatively the cat could be curious about what you are doing, but shy to make its presence known. either way the cat is paying very close attention to you!
this made me feel better

I don’t understand why cats will have everything they do demonized no matter how innocent it is
It’s because they are hypersensitive introverts, and humans are mostly social extroverts.
Hypersensitive, introverted humans are often mistaken for antisocial, and as a species, we are myopic and anthropomorphize EVERYTHING.
Semi-social animals are not naturally intuitive to humans.
Dog packs very closely mirror a nuclear human family, made up of a mother and father and their pups, who leave to find their own mates and start their own packs as they mature beyond young adult hood.
Pigeon flocks are like a villiage comprized of one big, extended family, where children mostly stay close and new birds marry in.
Cats don’t work that way. There is no firmly set social structure for more social domestic cats to fall back on. None of the species they are thought to come from are naturally social. They mate, have kittens, and those families disperse to the four winds as soon as the young become self sufficient.
We have selected for higher tolerance to crowding and confinement, but that does not a social structure make.
A group of cats is more like random collage dorm or house mates. Whether or not they get along and how many the group can support long term depends on how well their individual personalities mesh, regardless of blood relation.
Kittens are more out going and have more energy than adult cats, but as they age, being playful and taking the risk of being friendly takes more energy than they have, so they go from being willing to play with every one to prefering the company of favorite familiar entities that have taken the time to learn about that individuals needs and preferences.
Humans, who naturally form close knit pack bonds, are generally out going, and do their very damnedest to form life long bonds of friendship see a cat’s intense curiosity and wary shyness of approach as stalkerish, and its need for quiet solitude when overstimulated (coupled with just *how* fast they become overstimulated) as fickleness, and are completely heartbroken when a friendly, out going kitten grows into a relatively shy, reserved cat.
With no effort to understand, what the average human sees is a sly, untrustwothy animal that is friendly one second, and warninglessly aggressive the next, not because there actually was no warning, but because feline body language is very subtle.
Once again, due to a cat’s sensitivity.
To a cat, humans are VERY loud, over the top dramatic, and socially dense as a fucking brick.
They have to scream EVERYTHING to get across to most of us, and that shit is exhausting.
The fact that they do make that stressful and exhausting effort proves that the ones who like us actually love us VERY much! Just not in a way that big, loud, oblivious drama queens easily pick up on.
Reblogging to the pet blog because animal behavior.
Caerlaverock (Brythonic, or Celtic, rather than Gaelic, in origin, meaning “fortress of the skylark”) actually belonged to the Maxwell family. It has a long and interesting history, but perhaps its most interesting feature is that it is triangular: there aren’t many three-sided castles about, not even in Scotland, which has more castles per square mile than a hedgehog has fleas.
