All members of my cat lady coven have lost someone All members of my cat lady coven have lost someone within months of each other, myself included. I'm burning some sage and incense made of copal, ivy, and St. John's wort. I lit a candle first for @egretsnotregrets Mab, the second for my Keeley, the third and fourth for @animalis_amator_ Arete and Sophie, and the last for the most recently departed @anamcaratx Midnight. The candles are anointed in jasmine peace oil and surrounded by cornflower petals, ivy, and St. John's wort; they are blue for the astral realm.

Safe travels little ones. Much ❤ to my friends who have been suffering.
