Born To Always Mourn The Present Like It’s Already Become A Memory

Holiday Witch Ball Ornaments 

What’s a more inconspicuous way to add witchcraft to the holiday season than by combining the well-known concept of Witch Balls with widely used ornaments? Add the following ingredients to either clear, glass ornaments (so they can be charged by compliments) or to solid ornaments (to be even more unnoticeable) for the desired effects.

Family Peace:

lavender buds

two sprigs of thyme

dried cilantro

rose buds

Festivity:

three vanilla bean pods

whole allspice

dried tangerine or orange peels

sprig of pine

Love Drawing:

crushed rose petals

dried jasmine

dried lime peels

granulated sugar

glitter

whole chamomile flowers

one cinnamon stick

pine needles

juniper berries

i think it’s so wholesome that whenever me or my friends have issues w our plants 🌱 .. i always send my mom a pic and she gives us a diagnosis and what to do

Familiars

~ What is a Familiar?

   A familiar is a physical or spiritual being in which you are spiritually connected to. They are an aid to witches; their companion and guardian. Familiars are said to be healers, protectors, and helpers. Traditionally, familiars are animals, but they can also be human-esque. Animals are often viewed as familiars because of their connection with the earth. And no, familiars don’t need to be your pet. They can be any animal you feel a spiritual connection to.

~ Brief History of Familiars

   A witch’s familiar wasn’t viewed as evil until the beginning of The Middle Ages. They came to be thought of as demons and dark spirits, and were associated with the devil. They were sent by their witches to wreak havoc  because they weren’t easily detected and were fed blood. Every witch was believed to have a familiar, and close animal companions were often used as proof that the convicted was a witch.

~ How do I find my Familiar?

   You can use spells to bring forth your familiar, or to provide clarity on what your familiar is. 

   Working with divination tools and asking them questions about your familiar are also great ways to help you find it. 

   Meditation is an amazing way to bring clarity about what your familiar is or is like. Take deep breaths and let your mind wander. Pay attention to creatures that approach you, their mannerisms, the way they communicate, and the way they respond. You may go through several beings, and may find out traits of your familiar through communicating with these beings. 

   You may not find one the first time, but that’s okay. If you truly believe you have a familiar, keep trying! Keep in mind, not everyone has one. Some witches even prefer working alone.

~ How do I know when I’ve found my Familiar?

   There are many ways to know when you’ve found your familiar. Do they give you a boost? Do they follow you around? Do you trust them more than you trust anything else? If you answered yes to even one of those questions, then you might’ve found your familiar. They might take part in your rituals, be patient and aware while you are spell casting or doing spiritual work, hang around your magickal space, or be protective of you. They might be all of the above, and more! 

~ How do I bond with my Familiar?

   Most important thing I can say: respect your familiar! Your familiar will take this very highly into consideration. Give them the best life you can give them; the best food, best housing, clean conditions, positive energy, and lots of one on one time! Speak to them kindly, pet them, brush them, give them offerings, and reward them for their help. Make them a collar with protective crystals or crystals that hold your best energy. And overall, protect them, and make them feel safe. They will reciprocate whatever energy you give them, and then some.

~ How can my Familiar aid me and when?

   Familiars are mostly known for how much they help their witch. They will aid you whenever they can with whatever they can, from connecting with nature to enhancing any psychic, spiritual, and divine abilities. Familiars will protect you, physically and spiritually, and be your emotional support. You can even invite them in to harness their energy for whatever you need them for.

~ Can I have multiple Familiars?

   Of course! It is a common misconception that you can’t have multiple familiars, but you can! Remember, they don’t have to just be animals, and they definitely don’t have to just be cats, either.

~ Do you have a Familiar?

   I do! My 3-year old, female tortoise shell cat, Kaya. I am beyond grateful that we found each other. She plays an important role in my everyday life, and has aided me in more ways than I thought possible. I love her with all my soul!

Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius

🌙 4th December 2021

The upcoming Sagittarius New Moon is also a Solar Eclipse. This makes it much more powerful but also more volatile than usual.

We might feel pressured to change ourselves in some way. If you feel guided to transform any areas of your life, go for it. But only after you are sure you know what you want.

The New Moon will conjunct Mercury. This puts focus on communication, mental activities, technology and travel. Be clear on what you want and write it down or speak it out loud!

With Mercury affecting the Eclipse, you want to be as precise as you can and write things down. This strenghtens your intentions.

Just like with any Eclipse, be careful what you wish for.

I wish you a lovely new moon✨

🌘rainy day cleansing ritual🌒

hello loves! this is my go-to ritual for when i need a serious session of cleansing, grounding, and everything in between.

it’s best performed on a rainy day, but as always my spells and rituals are completely adaptable. if you don’t have something, find a substitute; if you don’t want to do something, don’t do it. simple! i hope this ritual helps you get back to your own kick-ass self.

the physical space ritual (optional, but awesome)

clean your space. yes, i mean physically. having a clean, comfortable space to relax in is essential for your mental health. it’s also a great way to get any negative energy out of your body. pour all that emotion into your cleaning, and create a super-awesome space that makes you feel all warm and happy inside. 

add something new. whether this is a storebought decoration you’ve been waiting to put up, or an idea for a switch around of furniture, change something up in your space. there’s nothing like the refreshing feeling of your space looking brand new, and you’ll have something to be proud of as well!

cleanse your tools, your bed, your walls… do your usual space-cleansing ritual that involves deep cleansing of everything you use on a day-to-day basis. getting rid of any built up energy will make the space you spend your time in feel so much fresher, i promise you.

find a comfy space, light your favourite cleansing incense (mine is lemon) sit back and relax, and move on to the self-cleansing ritual!

the self cleansing ritual

this is best performed on a rainy day, but if you can’t do that, try to visualise rain all around you. rainy mood music can help with this!

sit in a calm, comfy space where you can relax, and start to clear your mind. if you have a favourite go to method for meditation, use that. if not, i like to imagine my mind literally clearing, physically pushing all thoughts out of it.

concentrate on the sound of the rain. let the noise overtake your thoughts, and visualise the rain physically washing away any negative energy that’s built up over time.

get cathartic. cleansing can be as gentle or as brutal as you want. got any pent up emotions? let them out now, if you’re comfortable with it. just feel whatever you need to feel, and let it go. imagine the negativity just falling away from you with the rain.

as negative energy is leaving your body, visualise your personal energy drawing positivity from the earth beneath you. feel that strength wash over your body, and envisage your whole body being filled with happiness and gentle joy.

once you’re done meditating and cleansing, take a moment to just sit and exist. take as much time as you need to chill out and wake up.

anything after this should be done as self care, for you and you alone. got a favourite tv show? watch an episode. finally got enough money for something you’ve been eyeing for a while? buy that, and treat yourself. honestly, after all this you deserve a bit of self love!

so loves, that’s what i do when i need a serious cleanse and self-love session. i hope it helps you if you use it!

if you want to support me, and keep me out of financial despair, please consider buying a tarot reading here! anything you buy will help me pay rent for me and my family, so we can avoid homelessness. thankyou so much~

Mental & Emotional Health Protection Spell Jar

D’you ever get those days where enough is ENOUGH and you just have to spell jar the shit out of a protection spell (shuddup that totally makes sense)? Well, that was how I felt his morning.

This here is actually my first spell jar, one to protect my mental and emotional health.

My method and ingredients are mainly based off this protection spell bottle by @greekwitchchild​ with a couple of minor changes.

I don’t have oak leaves to hand, so I used chamomile flowers in their place for protection, peace and happiness.

Instead of writing my sigil on a piece of paper, I wrote it on the bay leaf I used in the jar. Full disclosure - the leaf was brittle and did crumble a bit as I inserted it. So, on the fly, I added though the sigil be broken, my intent remains whole into my “spell” (saying out loud the purpose of each ingredient as I added it to the jar).

The partially burned candle and jasmine incense stick were left from a circle casting I did while meditating a couple of days of ago. So I used them again to cast my circle and purify my space while I worked.

I shall be carrying this little beauty with me as I visit my boyfriend for the next 7 days or so. Negativity can fuck right off <3

🔥🔥Firey Wall of Protection Oil🔥🔥 . . This is a little how to I’m sharing with you!! I made this pretty puppy on my own, and let me tell you this is POTENT!! I made it myself and can contest this shits awesome. Here’s how to make it! You’ll need: - jar - black salt - whole chilie peppers - cayenne powder - paprika - Palo Santo stick - cloves - cinnamon sticks - cinnamon powder - ginger powder - red pepper seeds - sea salt/pink Himalayan sea salt - bay leaves - oil (be it olive, cooking, almond, what have you) - black candle - sandlewood incense . Light your incense, make sure you’re grounded, and your mind is focused for the task at hand. Please know this will take up a lot of your energy. Make your base with black salt and all powdered ingredients. It’s important that this have a strong foundation with hella protection properties so nothing can find a way through the barrier. Follow your gut and add each ingredient according to your intuition. As you add each item, really focus on this oils intent. You want it strong, powerful, Firey, and most importantly impenetrable. You want to make sure all your loopholes are tied, that there’s no room for error. Once everything is added, go ahead and pour your oil in, saying an incantation of your choice. As you do, say out loud exactly what you want this oil to do. Charge it, give it a job, leaving out no detail. Tell it what it protects you and your family from. Hold it, charge it, kiss it–until it feels right. Afterwards, set the jar in front of the black candle and light it, letting the spell charge and burn. DO NOT let the candle burn out, and DO NOT burn it out early. Let it go down and out all on it’s own. Now here’s where your gut comes in. When the spell is over, I sat my bottle on my windowsill and let it charge in the sunlight for 30 consecutive days. You can write a sigil underneath it to add an additional charge, but the suns energy gives it the burn you want. You don’t have to do it for 30 days, but for me and this oil, it’s not as effective if it’s charged in the sun for less. Once the 30 days are up, use it at your own will. Pour it in a small vial and wear it as a necklace (that’s what I did.) Anoint your doorways, windows, threshold, doorstep, friends, your car, yourself, anything. It’s potent and powerful!!

Part of getting older is realizing how absolutely insane it is that basically every form of media is constantly trying to convince us that the most interesting moments of the lived human experience are happening in HIGH SCHOOL…… girl who gives a flying fuck what 16 year olds are doing.
