September 29th, 2023 Super Harvest Moon!

On September 29th, there will be the 4th and final super moon of the year! It's the perfect time to take advantage of that energy!

Ways to utilize it

Journal- write down the things you need to release, and then (safely) burn them. I like to burn a candle at the same time, seal the ashes in a jar with the candle wax with rosemary and peppercorn and then throw it out to get rid of it.

You can also do the same thing with things you want to bring into your life, burn them, put the ashes in a jar with things that match your intent, seal with wax and then put it somewhere you'll be able to see it consistently.

Charging your Crystals

Visualization Meditation- full moons are routinely utilized for manifestation. Sitting in the moonlight and meditating on your intentions and setting your goals goes a long way!

And of course, don't forget to stock up on your moon water!

Another thing, I like to do a ritual bath for an extra boost!

What do you guys usually do on the full moon?

"I don't want to be mean" me right before I say the cuntiest thing imaginable

I don’t struggle with autism. I struggle with neurotypicals being assholes about me being autistic

no more touching grass, I need to be embraced by moss and decompose to become one with the forest

The more I try to make Witch/Pagan friends the more I realize most folks use witchcraft as a cover for ableism, medication shaming, government conspiracy, and being blatantly anti-science.

Let me make this clear. Your connection the world and beyond should NOT interfere with your ability to support lifesaving science in the mundane world. Natural is not better. Natural, as in thousands of cases, is not safe at all. We have tests, hundreds of years of research, and trials for a reason.

If you believe that prescription medicine is some big government plan to hurt us all, please check your fucking self and also get fucked. Being anti-western medicine for people who need AND deserve the benefits of medicine is disgusting behavior.

Going from posting shadow work to government conspiracies about junk food and pharmaceuticals shows so much about the "witch" you are.

Mabon Pomegranate Wisdom Spell

To advance spiritual development and gain wisdom. This spell calls upon Inanna/ Persephone

Items needed:

Charcoal disc

Fireproof dish

Purple candle

Matches

Two tablespoons of dried dittany of crete (etsy, amazon, while foods)

1 pomegranate

Sharp knife

Instructions:

Light the charcoal dish, let burn down so it does not smoke to much. When it's ready light the candle then say "I call upon (diety of choice) queen of the land of the dead, wise beyond reckoning, to bless my spirit quest and guide my footsteps through the darkness"

Add the dittany to the disc

Slice open pomegranate, take out six seeds and eat them

Close your eyes, imagine yourself sinking into the darkness, going deeper where there is nothing but silence. Stay there in the silence for as long as needed, when ready, blow out the candle, then burn it for a hour at sunset till it's gone.

Bury the pomegranate in your yard/garden. Keep a dream diary throught the winter season

Change it up, make it your own if desired

Sourced: little book of spells

hate all the concepts of “to be a good witch/pagan you have to do ____ with your practice”. your practice should be personal to you, specific to you and what works for you. you do not need all the fancy supplies, you do not have to meditate, you do not have to worship any deities, etc.

you do not have to do anything that does not naturally fit into your practice in order to be a good witch/pagan.

I’ve felt crappy all day and ended up skipping class and laying in bed. I got up and finally did a protection candle I’ve been wanting to do and it made me excited to do more.

I’m really tired of feeling like garbage.

Does that person really have ~bad vibes~ or are they neurodivergent and you haven't taken the time to deconstruct what society has told you is acceptable behavior based solely on neurotypicality?

🔮BANISHING VS WARDING🔮

(what really is the difference?)

✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿

✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿 ✨🧿✨🧿

BANISHING

Banishing is far more specific and direct than warding.

✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿 ✨🧿✨🧿

WHY IS IT USED?

Banishing is used to get rid of a particulur energy, spirit, or person. Think carefully before banishing, as it's a strong form of defensive magic.

✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿 ✨🧿✨🧿

BANISHING METHODS

USE THE ELEMENTS

burn a slip of paper with your target's name on it

throw a leaf with your target's name on it into a running river/stream

burn corresponding herbs and pass the smoke through your space

CANDLES

anoint your candle with corresponding herbs and oils, then burn it

when the candle has burnt out. the banishing is complete

SIGILS

make your own banishing sigil find one that resonates with you

place it in the space or on the item you are banishing energy from

HERBS + TINCTURES

use herbal smoke to force energy out of a space or object

make a spray or herbal tineture to sprinkle around your home

FOLLOW YOUR INTUITION

use the method that calls to you

never use a method that feels wrong or that you haven't researched thoroughly

✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿 ✨🧿✨🧿

🔮✨🔮✨🔮✨🔮✨🔮✨🔮✨🔮✨🔮✨🔮

WARDING

Warding is a gentler form of defensive magic that is used in a more general sense.

🔮✨🔮✨🔮✨🔮✨🔮✨🔮✨🔮✨🔮✨🔮

WHY IS IT USED?

Warding is used to protect and guard from negative energies of any kind - it redirects energy away from you or your space.

🔮✨🔮✨🔮✨🔮✨🔮✨🔮✨🔮✨🔮✨🔮

WARDING METHODS

VISUALIZATION

use your intention and energy to visualize a powerful barrier of protecting light around yourself or your space for more info on ENERGETIC PROTECTION click HERE

GUARDIANS

create a guardian to guard your home or space from negative energies

use a small object, enchant it with your intention,and keep it in a safe, permanent place

CRYSTALS

HERBS

Mabon Altar Ideas & Correspondences

Mabon, also known as the Autumn Equinox, marks the midpoint between the summer and winter solstices. It's a time to celebrate the abundance of the harvest season and express gratitude for the blessings of the year. One way to honor this occasion is by setting up a Mabon altar, adorned with items and symbols that resonate with the energy of the season. Here are a few ideas for when you’re putting your altar together.

The Altar Cloth: Choose an altar cloth in rich autumnal colors such as deep red, orange, or brown. These colors represent the changing leaves and the bountiful harvest.

Seasonal Fruits and Vegetables: Incorporate apples, pumpkins, squash, and corn, or any local harvests you have in your area. These are traditional symbols of the harvest and abundance during Mabon.

Candles: Use candles in colors associated with Mabon, such as gold, yellow, orange, or deep red. These represent the changing colors of the land. Alternatively, you could use black and white candles to represent the balance of dark and light on the equinox.

Crystals: Consider placing crystals like citrine, amethyst, or jasper on your altar. These stones resonate with the energies of balance, gratitude, and abundance.

Symbols of Balance: Include items that represent the balance of day and night, such as a yin-yang symbol or two candles, one for the sun and one for the moon.

Leaves and Acorns: Collect fallen leaves and acorns to symbolize the changing season and the promise of new growth in the future.

Chalice and Bread: A chalice filled with wine or cider and a loaf of bread represent the traditional elements of water and earth, symbolizing the harvest's bounty.

Deity Representations: If you work with specific deities in your practice, add representations of them to your altar. Some gods and goddesses associated with Mabon include Demeter, Persephone, and the Green Man.

Mabon Correspondences

Colors: Deep red, orange, yellow, brown, and gold.

Herbs: Sage, marigold, hops, and thistle.

Foods: Apples, grapes, nuts, grains, and root vegetables.

Symbols: Scales, cornucopias, and the autumn wreath.

Activities: Apple picking, making wreaths, offering prayers of gratitude, and sharing a feast with loved ones.

Intentions: Reflect on balance in your life, give thanks for your blessings, and set intentions for the darker months ahead.

May you be blessed with abundance and gratitude.

Loose Mabon incense

dried orange peels

star anise

cinnamon bark or cinnamon stick broken up

dried cedar leaf

calendula flowers

8 drops orange essential oil

5 drops cinnamon essential oil

3 drops nutmeg essential oil

Step 1

Break up chunkier ingredients, like cinnamon and dried orange peel, into smaller pieces. This will both release the scent and make them easier to burn.

Mix all the dry ingredients together in a clean glass jar using a chopstick or the handle of a wooden spoon.

Step 2

Add essential oils, one drop at a time, mixing the incense between drops to disperse oil evenly. Store in a clean glass jar for up to 4 months.

How to Use Mabon Incense

Use your Mabon incense anyway you want to.

Here’s a few ideas:

Toss a handful in to empower your ritual bonfire.

Burn it in a cauldron or fire safe bowl on a charcoal disk.

Steep it in water and boil it on the stove for smoke-free way to release the scent of autumn in your home.

Add a small pinch into a handmade ritual candle during the melting process..

My favorite simple wards to guard the home

Hanging rosemary above the doorstep, and/or above doors of the house for protection.

Sprinkling a line of dried red pepper on a windowsill, to counter a curse.

Placing a mix of dried & ground eggshells and black pepper in every corner of a room to keep out unwanted spirits.

Placing a decoration representing a witch in the kitchen, to keep away illness and to favor health.

Crafting an effigie (no matter how crude!) and make it into the guardian of your home by charging it with your intent of protection by placing it near the front door.

Crafting small witch ladders to hang around the house.

⛤History of Mabon⛤

The Mabon or Autumn Equinox is a holiday that takes place from the 21st of September to the 24th of the same month.

⛤The autumn equinox divides day and night equally - here we should all take a moment to pay homage to the impending darkness.

We also thank the sunset light, as we store this year's crop of crops.

The Druids call this celebration, Mea'n Fo'mhair, and honor the Green Man, the God of the Forest, by offering libations to the trees.

On this holiday it is appropriate to dress in elegant clothes and dine and celebrate in luxurious surroundings.

It is time to finish the old jobs and prepare for a period of rest, relaxation and reflection.

⛤ Pagans celebrate the aging Goddess as she passes from Mother to Crone, and her consort, the Lord, as she prepares for death and rebirth.

⛤The feast of the autumn equinox is also known by other names: Feast of the second harvest, Feast of Wine, Feast of Avalon, Autumn Equinox, or Cornucopia.

The Teutonic name, Winter Finding, spans a period of time between Mabon and October 15, which is the New Year in Old Norse.

The Romans celebrated a festival dedicated to Pomona, the goddess of fruit and growing things.

However, the most famous ancient myth comes from Greece. The autumn equinox marks Persephone's return to the underworld:

⛤In ancient Greek mythology, the beginning of the fall is closely linked to the story of the abduction of Persephone, also called Kore or Cora. Daughter of Demeter, goddess of earth and fertility, she was kidnapped and taken to the underworld to become the wife of Hades, the god-king of the underworld. After a period of mourning and struggle, Demeter eventually brought her daughter back from Hades to the light, but only for six months of the year. Each fall, Persephone must return to the underworld to spend six months with Hades. During these months, Nature withdraws.

⛤Mabon is a relatively modern neo-pagan celebration, which takes place around the September equinox.

⛤In the 1970s, the American author Aidan Kelley gave new names to the six pagan holidays rooted in the ancient Celtic tradition and added two new celebrations proper to the September and March equinox.

These holidays are celebrations based on the cycles of the sun.

⛤Inspired by a proper name derived from the Welsh word mab / map, meaning "son" or "boy", Kelly chose Mabon as the name for the autumn equinox celebration, and founded the ceremony he had composed for the festival in the Greek myth of Persephone.

⛤Mabon celebrates the second harvest and the start of winter preparations, and it's time to respect the impending darkness while giving thanks in the sunlight.

⛤Druids and pagans also flock to Stonehenge, the famous 5,000-year-old site in Wiltshire, and Castlerigg, another megalithic stone circle near Keswick, Cumbria, to watch the equinox dawn.

⛤The Christian church replaced many pagan celebrations with Christian observances. The most famous is Christmas, which replaced the ancient Yule festival around the December solstice.

⛤The closest Christian celebration to the September equinox is Michaelmas, also known as the feast of St. Michael and all angels, on September 29th. In this period, the feast of St. Michael is mainly observed in the Catholic church.

⛤Centuries ago in England, the time around the feast of St. Michael also had a commercial side: servants were paid wages after the harvest and workers looked for new jobs at job fairs that also became a place for celebrations.

⛤Mabon is a time full of magic, all connected to the changing seasons of the earth, this is the Second Harvest, the Fruit Harvest and the Great Thanksgiving.

⛤The Goddess is radiant and the God eventually dies with her gift of pure love with the cutting of the last grain. As the grain is harvested in abundance during Lammas and reaches completion, we enjoy the abundance of fruits and vegetables at this time.

⛤It is time to thank the waning sun for the richness of the harvest that has been bestowed on us.

⛤Sometimes it seems like every Holiday calls for thanks, and it really is: every spin of the Wheel brings both inner and outer gifts and insights, so Mabon is a celebration and also a period of rest after harvest work.

⛤In terms of your life path, it is time to reap what you have sown, time to look at the hopes and aspirations of Imbolc and Ostara and reflect on how they have manifested.

⛤It is time to complete projects, to clear out and leave what is no longer wanted or needed as we prepare for the descent, so that winter can offer a time for reflection and peace.

⛤And it's time to plant seeds of new ideas and hopes that lie dormant but nurtured in the dark, until spring returns.

I'll be posting more Mabon related content during the week so stay tuned for spells, rituals, prayers, history and affirmations!

Hopefully, you'll have a great Celebration this year too!

⛤Kitchen Witchcraft-Lavender⛤

Lavender is one of the most popular ingredients in the craft, whose scent eliminates tension, strengthens intuition, improves dreams and protects against evil spirits. 

This plant is ruled by the planet Mercury, the element of air and the sign of Gemini.

Among the Romans, lavender was added to bath water and served as a symbol of abundance on the table.

Due to its magical properties, lavender has been used in many rituals and spells since ancient times. 

This plant has a great influence in cleaning the negative energy of space from evil forces.

The essential oils of this magical plant are widely used to strengthen the nervous system and in periods when human energy is weak. 

Lavender oil is used to clean spaces, especially if there are frequent conflicts and arguments.

It is believed that all evil escapes from the smell of this plant. 

Lavender oil should be added to the bath if the person has a sudden drop in energy or weakness. Lavender is most often used fresh.

Lavender magic

⛤Cleansing Spell:

Take an odd number of lavender sprigs and pour hot water on them. 

When it cools down, use the water to  wash your face and say 

“This curse I’ve banished from my face

 and sent back.”

⛤To fulfill a wish:

Take twelve dry sprigs of lavender, grind them and keep the powder in a closed box. 

Then take a candle and sprinkle some dry lavender on it.

It is believed that the wish will be fulfilled.

⛤Other facts:

It is believed that if a girl wants to attract love into her life, she should wear a small twig in her suit.

 This plant is considered a magnet for attracting the opposite sex and improving the financial situation.

 Lavender should be kept in the corner of the closet because it will protect against all evil influences and negative forces.

This plant is widely used in the field of homeopathy. It is believed that it has the strongest magical powers if it is collected during the full moon.

It is used to treat bruises, relieve anxiety and relieve stress. 

In folk medicine, it is used against stomach pain and problems with the intestines, as well as treating the kidneys.

wish fulfillment spell for the full moon

the Hunter's Moon is coming on October 9th, and I just found a cool spell online to do on that night! As always, you can tweak things around according to your circumstances.

Take a glass of any juice you like

Go outside in a moonlit spot

Gaze at the moon while you tell her all your wishes, detailing them as much as you can. When you're done, raise your glass for her and say the following words:

"Mother Goddess, look and see

this chalice I'm offering you.

It's yours for everything you've done,

graceful silver Goddess."

4. Spill the drink on the ground and be sure that your wishes will be fulfilled.

To all white wiccans/pagans out there: following a closed deity is racist. Fuck off. You are not allowed to have our deities.
