Light a candle or a stick of incense. Focus on the flame,
the burning. Envision bonfires, hear the crackling of wood. Close your eyes and
observe the spectacle underneath your lids.

Air witches:
Open your window for a minute or two. Let the wind caress
your face, let your lungs be filled with fresh air. Extend your hand through
the window and allow it to flow.
💦
Water witches:
Take a bowl and fill it with water. Bury your hand inside
it, feel the temperature shift. Then take it out. Observe the ripples. Imagine the
quiet murmur of a mountain brook and the crashing thunder of ocean waves.
🍀
Earth witches:
Water your plants. Contemplate the patterns in which the
soil soaks up. Brush the leaves and whisper a quiet ‘thank you’ for providing
you with the gift of life. Dip your finger in the soil and smear it across your
hand.
🍵
Kitchen witches:
Brew yourself some tea. Sit comfortably and raise the cup
closer to your face. Inhale the scent of the drink, rejoice in its richness. Taste
the bouquet and let yourself be swayed with sensations.
THAT FIRST SITE IS EVERY WRITER’S DREAM DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I’VE TRIED WRITING SOMETHING AND THOUGHT GOD DAMN IS THERE A SPECIFIC WORD FOR WHAT I’M USING TWO SENTENCES TO DESCRIBE AND JUST GETTING A BUNCH OF SHIT GOOGLE RESULTS
MEMORIZE THE PACKAGING SO YOU MAKE SURE YOU NEVER BUY THIS CREAM FOR YOURSELF OR ANYONE YOU LOVE.
This post is about vaginas. My vagina in particular. I get yeast infections pretty regularly, and until recently I was able to afford to see a doctor who could prescribe me fluconazole.
Fluconazole, a drug also known by the brand name Diflucan, is a small pink pill. You take two pills a few days apart from each other to restore balance and harmony to your bountiful folds. I’ve never ever had a bad side effect from taking this pill.
Cut to November 2016. I’m a recent college grad without reliable health care coverage in the process of finding a job. And I’m dealing with a yeast infection. Before I moved out of state, my previous doctor told me about Miconazole. She said it was as effective as the pill and hallelujah, it’s over the counter! I decided to purchase the cream pictured above. This treatment only lasted 3 days, a convenient time frame for my schedule.
The application process was a little messy, and some of the cream came in contact with my vulva and labia. Within 5 minutes every piece of skin that had come in contact with the cream, excluding my hands, was on fire. I wanted to scream it was so painful. I began frantically searching for what I should do online.
I found a whole forum of people on drugs.com who had experienced something similar. These comments saved me, and these were just on the first page. There were 33 pages total, the earliest dated July 2009.
I was writhing in pain at 2AM when I found this forum (which I found by searching “my vagina burn itch hurts after miconazole” on Google). As soon as I read these comments I threw the devil cream directly into the trash and jumped in the shower. I didn’t feel any actual relief until I reached in and scraped the cream out of me. I paid $17 plus tax on this bullshit, but I could have just as easily ripped up my money or paid someone to not hurt me.
The moral of the story is that vaginal health care is is completely fucked up because we don’t have access to an over the counter cure for yeast infections that is safe for our bodies and also YOU SHOULD NEVER BUY THIS CREAM EVER.

Okay so I used to get yeast infections every month after my period ‘cause my pH levels were fucked up or something (idk that’s what my doctor said) and I actually used to take this stuff and it was fine. Then a couple years down the road I had a yeast infection for the first time in ages and I used this again and it burned so bad I had to sit in the bath and like physically dig it out of my vagina
AND THEN I LEARNED THAT IT’S BECAUSE I DIDN’T HAVE A YEAST INFECTION. I had a bacterial infection, which is honestly pretty much identical to a yeast infection depending on the severity. The only difference is that IF YOU HAVE A BACTERIAL INFECTION AND TRY TO USE YEAST INFECTION MEDICATION IT WILL HURT
But it’s not actually the medication’s fault. The medication DOES do what it’s supposed to do, provided you’re actually suffering from a yeast infection. Chances are though that you and every one who commented on this did, in fact, have bacterial infections instead.
FORTUNATELY they also make over the counter tests so you can know if you need to call your doctor or just grab some yeast medicine off the shelf. Next time if you aren’t sure, pee on a stick and save yourself a world of fucking pain
AMEN.
It’s unfortunate that I’m 27 and never knew that last bit of information. The world of vaginal health is so obscure and inaccessible.
Reblogging because I too once found out the hard way that I had a bacterial & not yeast infection. 😑
I, too, once set my vagina aflame with miconazole. I didn’t know it was because of a bacterial infection. Reblogging to save a vag.

It’s almost like the shame and stigma thar surrounds vaginas is a danger to the health and well being of people who have vaginas.
saw a post pointing out that cis women can get a boob job at 18 without therapist notes and just considering how it’s FUCKED that that’s true for like implants but a breast reduction requires like 16 doctors notes about how your boobs are crushing your lungs tearing your laterals breaking your spine and stealing all the blood from your organs before anyone would consider the tragedy of taking them away
I still remember the discourse around Angelina Jolie getting her mastectomy to help prevent fucking CANCER and dudes were just so sad that a famous woman was prioritizing her health and not their boners. It was fucking ridiculous
To people who defend porn by bringing up home-made consensual masturbation videos/amateur couple videos and that sort of thing: there are videos like that of me (and me with another woman) circulating on the internet that were stollen from me and are now being sold without my consent. Many many camgirls have their private video sessions illegally recorded and sold. Not to mention all the “couple” videos where the girls were told it was just for personal use, and then their boyfriends post them online. Just bc it was consensually filmed doesn’t mean it was consensually shared.
