Cedar

Recently I found myself drawn to the magical power of the cedar tree. By recently, I mean for the past 3 years. Something about cedar just spoke to me and I didn't understand why, but I new that it was my protector and mentor.

It wasn't until today that I remembered that I was introduced to the cedar tree in elementary school. Going to a school called Cedarmere, named after the surrounding trees. It was probably the first tree I learned about outside of the pine tree. I remember getting to know the trees and thinking it was so cool how big they were. I can't believe I forgot about these small moments of connection with this tree. It kinda explains this need to reconnect. I'm sure there is more ancestral reasons to love this tree, but today, I will remember our past friendship.

Mud Season Witchcraft ❄️☀️

So in my state, before we get “Spring”, we get mud season. This is when all the runoff of the melting snow completely drowns the roadside, resulting in huge puddles of mud everywhere, increased traffic, and many, many wet socks. In honor of this oddly early storm that’s not yet ruined my day, I’ve collected a few things from around tumblr to try to combat what’s about to become a waaaay bigger problem than it needs to be:

Safe Travels Spell from @magickspellrequests

Safe Travels Sigil from @thatgayguywitch

This very simple spell to protect one’s car from @visardistofelphame

Safe Travels emoji spell from @emojispells4u

This general use “Strength” sigil from @teapartyforthewitches, ideally sharpied onto your tires or the body of the car

Additional ideas:

sigils for finding a stable path written onto your tires

sigils for clear sight on (or taped to the corner of) the windshield

tokens of protection in the glove box

a generic ward against harm on the body of your car

spelling your shoes to avoid water, or to dry quickly. Could be sigils, but if you aren’t well versed in those, it could be knot work, enchantment, or your specialty

May the roads be clear and may you spend little time on them!

-Blessings!
