Hekate
So let's start with things that arnt true about Hekate.
Hekate is not the triple moon goddess that is a wiccan concept that is not true.
Hekate is not the moon goddess, that is Selene. Selene is the goddess of the moon.
Hekate will not get angry if you are devoted to other gods/goddesses. This is a myth that is spread for many gods and goddesses, it's not true.
Hekate along with other gods/goddesses will not be angered from a little mistake. This is not saying that she will not push you in a direction through life changes.
Hekate is not just the goddess of witchcraft and magic. This is one I've seen alot actually and it's a very modern day way she is seen, and her other things are just casted aside.
Hekate is not evil.
You have to worship her at a crossroads you can worship her anywhere else, this is something I was told and heard when I first started to research about hekate.
Hekate will only except certain offering and will reject other. This is very wide spread about all the hellinistic gods/goddesses. The gods will except most things as offerings there are specific offerings that are most suited to them but most offering will work. It's the act of devotion that they want not the material things you give them if anything just pray to them.
These are just some misconceptions about Hekate. There are misconceptions about every god in the hellenistic pantheon and you will just need to find out which are not true.
Now let's go to some things that are true about Hekate.
Hekate is the goddess of crossroads, witchcraft and magic, dark moon, the lunar calendar (she is very associated with the moon but she is not the goddess of it like I stated before)
Hekate did assist the search for Persephone, and did witness the capture.
Hekate stood at the crossroads, this could be seen as to assist the spirits to the underworld or to keep evil spirits away.
You can make an altar/shrine to hekate and worship her there
You can pray to Hekate as an offering and just out of devotion you do not have to find extravagant things that are not easily available to you as an offering.
Some things you can use as an offering for Hekate. (These are just some examples there are many other things you can use.)
These are thing that I have used in my practice and are from my own experience. You may find others that you can use more and are better suited for your relationship with Hekate.
Dog imagery, black dogs are the best. You can draw one or even get a little dog statue.
Bones
Dandelions
Prayers
Doing acts of kindness for others, including animals
Give candles (black ones preferably)
Candies ( I've given chocolate as an offering before)
Blackberries
Blood ( this is a offering that is very demonized in the pagan community, but it is an offering you can use.)
Meat is a very traditional offering the not as good parts of the meat would be given to the gods and goddesses, as an offering and the better parts would be kept for you.
You can share parts of your dinner with them
Tea ( I usually use tea that corresponds to them)
Pastries
A feast was traditionally done under the dark moon
Lavender
Spells can be done along side her.
I've done spells for good things like happiness of others in her name.
Milk ( I know this one is a little wierd but you can use milk as a good offering for alot of gods/goddesses
Donate to charity in the name of Hekate
These are just some examples. These examples are just to give you an idea of offering for Hekate.
This is just a post for if you are interested in Hekate it is just a small post to kinda introduce her to you. If you are wanting to worship her please use more resources than this one.
I love quick reference sheets! Best types of spells for each moon phase.
A magic we can all do better with.

🛡 Warding 🛡
Disclaimer: This is all based on my research, path, opinion & experiences! Intro: I really was holding out on doing this post because it’s such a big, important topic to cover and I really don’t want to mess it up or get anything wrong. This post needs to be done though, people have asked if I have such a post and an anon suggested it. So finally, here it is. - What Is Warding? Warding is a type of magick, it is the act of creating an energetic barrier around you, your home, an object, ect. They can be temporary or permanent, although typically they are cast with the long term in mind. They can banish or turn away whatever you choose. Warding is an excellent skill to have because it can keep you, and even others safe and with practice you can do it anytime with just about whatever you have on hand. When Should I Ward? Whenever you want an energetic barrier around you, most people consistently ward their home, themselves or their place of practice. Some people even ward their space every time they prepare for a spell. It should be done consistently in any area you want protected, but exactly where and how often is entirely up to the practitioner. What Should I Do Before? Cleanse, a ward is a barrier of energy and in the same way that it keeps things out it also keeps things in. You don’t want to trap anything inside of it. Cleanse yourself before you ward yourself. Cleanse your space before you ward your space! Tips Before You Ward- Phrasing Keep the phrasing in mind! You don’t want to keep anything out that you want in, or let something in that you want out. If you’re chanting or using sigils ect keep in mind exactly what you want to keep out both in your methods and in your mind. Covering everything Make sure to cover everything, a ward is useless if there’s a weakness in it or if the ceiling & floor aren’t probably covered. Be super thorough! Layering Your Wards One small little wimpy barrier? Ha, the spirits say as they scramble into your home to wreak havoc! You need to layer your wards, don’t just use one method one time, there’s no such thing as too much warding. What Are Some Ways That I Can Ward? Now we’ll get right down to the methods you can use to ward yourself and your space! Remember that warding is important and needs to be effective, don’t try anything that you don’t have experience with for warding. At first, focus on the stuff you know. If you like sigils, use sigils at first and slowly work your way into using other more complex methods or methods that solely rely on your abilities. Circle Casting You cast a circle by summoning the four elements to protect & energize what is in the circle. - Here’s my post about circles & how to cast them Chanting/Speaking Come up with a protective chant you can use to ward your space. This chant could be someone else’s or your own as long as you feel it’s effective. Speak it aloud and visualize a layer of energy protecting your space. Incense Burn a protective incense in the space you’d like to ward and visualize a barrier protecting your space. Athame Draw out the line of your ward with your athame, visualize the wall appearing, covering everything with a thick layer of energy. Spraying Spray a mix of blessed/magickal waters and or herbs with protective properties in the space you want to ward. Sigils Create a sigil using your favorite method with the intent to “ward” or “protect/protection.” Then charge and activate it as a layer of protection! Here’s my post on sigils if you’re interested in that: - Sigil Post Jar Spells You could mix up a jar spell for warding, set it in your house and forget it as a layer of warding. - My protective jar spell post Anointment Anoint the doorways of your space, you could also anoint the ceiling, floor, walls, corners, honestly go for it. Salt Sprinkle salt all around the edge of your home or space. Make sure to sprinkle salt on the INSIDE of your harm as salt can harm plants & wildlife if used outside. If you’d like to make a barrier on the outside of your home, you can use dried & crushed eggshells in place of salt. - Post on how to make eggshell powder here - Hag stones Hag stones are stones with holes in them that have been corroded into the stone because of rushing water. It is believed rushing water is protective & cleansing so if you wear a stone that sat in it long enough to have parts corroded away, that the stone will maintain and keep those properties with it. It’s a great way to personally ward yourself, and an excuse to go out in nature. They look like this!
Energy Manipulation If you’ve got a knack for manipulating energy, you can create a barrier through work and visualization that surrounds yourself or your space. This isn’t recommended for beginners though! Links: - Horse Warding Charm By @anothersusurrus - House Warding Spritz Mixture By @seleneblackwell Both of these are great if you’re looking for specific spells, types of magick, correspondences, sigils, ect! - Protection Magic Masterpost Part 1 By @auricwitch - Protection Magic Masterpost Part 2 By @auricwitch Personal Wards Also remember not just to ward your space but yourself, if you layer your home with wards, what happens when you leave? Exactly. Keep yourself safe too! Circle casting & hag stones are great methods I mentioned above that are good for personal warding. Can I Ward Specific Things And Not Others? Absolutely! I mentioned this in the phrasing section of this post, keep in mind exactly what you want to keep out when you’re warding. I like words like “negative” or “harmful” or “with ill intent” because they don’t necessarily keep out the Fae or positive/neutral spirits but it does keep out anything that wants to harm you in general. Just think about it ahead of time, find wording or a phrase you like and keep that in mind as you ward. What If I Live With People? If you’re out of the broom closet, explain to your family/roommates what you’re doing and why you’re doing it and make sure they’re cool with it and are aware of what’s going on. If you’re not out of the broom closet, you may have to resort to only warding yourself/your room, & that’s okay! I hope this helps someone or teaches them something new! Enjoy! Have a lovely day 💖
10 Herbs For Basic Natural Remedies
Aloe: Soothing and highly moisturizing, a mask made from Aloe is absolutely heavenly. Mix Aloe with Honey and Seaweed to soothe, moisturize and detoxify your skin. Aloe is also known to treat wounds such as scrapes and burns but is also good for general dermatitis. When buying the gels in store, be careful to read the label to make sure there aren’t any harsh and/ or cosmetic additives in it.
Basil: A wonderful detoxifier and circulation promotor, crush a handful of leaves and brew a hot tea for a few minutes. Let cool. Once cooled, splash your face or wipe it down with a cotton pad or face cloth.
Burdock: Burdock does wonders for dry, itchy skin, especially on the scalp. Like Catnip, it aids with relieving dandruff and promotes healthy scalp skin. For best results, purchase Burdock in its oil form and massage a bit onto your scalp after you wash your hair, while your hair is still damp. The fatty acids and phytosterols will keep your scalp happy and healthy.
Chamomile: A very gentle cleanser for oily skin especially when combined with Thyme. When combined with Fennel and brewed as a tea, it aids in digestion, relieving nausea, diarrhea, vomiting and indigestion.
Lavender: Like Aloe, Lavender is very soothing and an antiseptic. Wonderful for burns, treating infections, and in general dermatitis. A mild antidepressant and sedative, Lavender is also known to alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety.
Mint: Mint gum and toothpaste? There’s a reason for that! Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, Mint is wonderful for oral health. Mint also aids in digestion, improves respiratory conditions like asthma, and aids in relieving water retention. When used as an astringent, Mint coolly freshens up the skin and aids in getting rid of acne. Also aids in relieving headaches and migraines.
Rose: A very gentle astringent when applied topically and is a wonderful anti-inflammatory and reducer of acne. Full of a variety of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, Rose is a well rounded addition to any herbalist’s repertoire.
Rosemary: A rise made from Rosemary adds beautiful shine to hair, strengthens damaged hair and soothes dry scalps. A rich source in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds, Rosemary is also known to boost the immune system and improve blood circulation. Also known to be a cognitive stimulation, Rosemary can also aid in improving memory performance and quality.
Sage (Kitchen): An astringent of Sage mixed with Witch Hazel or even Apple Cedar Vinegar cleanses the skin efficiently yet gently due to it being rich in anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds. Also aids in supporting oral health (reducing plaque), easing menopausal symptoms and aids in promoting brain health, improving mood
Turmeric: A brisk, cleansing mask, mix together turmeric powder, rice flower and plain yogurt. Let sit on the face for 15-20 mins (or until dry) and then, while rinsing off, gently scrub in circular motions. Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory.
10 Easy Protective Habits
Carry Rosemary and salt in your pocket, purse, or keep in a satchel.
A lit white candle in a circle of salt will protect a room.
A lit black candle repels and banishes unwanted energy quite well.
Hang Garlic in your kitchen to ward away mischief and evil.
Add Pine essential oil to cleaners for an added cleansing boost when washing tile/hardwood floors.
Grow Rosemary, Lilac, Lavender or Rose at your doorways to protect them.
Use knot magick when tying shoe laces, bows, headbands, etc for added protection.
Draw protective sigils or wards onto your skin with make up or lotion/moisturizer before blending.
Hang protective charms off your pet’s collar.
Sprinkle a combination of Salt, Lavender, Rosemary and/or Rose onto a hard surface and sweep/vacuum the next morning for a cleansing sweep.

Simple Bonding With Your New Deck
A straightforward guide for understanding and bonding with a new deck
⋆ ｡˚۰ ˚☽˚ ⁀➷ ｡˚ ⋆ ༄ ☼ ➶
❶ Cleanse your deck
This can be done with numerous methods. Saining ritual, Crystals (like selenite or salt), Sound, Knocking, Moonlight, Sunlight, etc Choose the one that you like best, whichever feels right to you, or use a combination of these that feel good for you!
❷ Explore your deck
Before reading the booklet that comes with your cards, flip through the deck card by card and explore the imagery and symbolism of each card. If you can, journal down your initial thoughts for each card, including how each card makes you feel. Is there a specific card that you're drawn to? Why?
❸ Read the guide book
Repeat Step 2 while reading through and referencing the little white book. How do the author/artist's intentions line up with your original intuitions about each card? Do they conflict? If so, look deeper and try to figure out where your view of the card differs. (this does not necessarily mean your intuition is wrong)
❹ Spend time with your deck
This can include sleeping with your deck next to you/under your pillow, travelling with your deck on your person, carrying around and focusing on a specific card each day, spending time shuffling the cards to mix your energy, or any other ideas you can come up with that allows you to keep the deck, the cards, and the imagery/symbolisms on your mind throughout the day.
❺ Interview your deck
This can be done at any point, but often it’s the most rewarding after you understand the cards to a decent degree. At this point, you should have a good feel for the deck's overall energy and a general idea of what each card represents and why. You'll be able to understand what the deck is trying to tell you much better than if you did this step at the beginning.
❻ Start using your deck
When you feel like you understand the cards and feel comfortable using them for readings, go for it. From this point on, it's going to be growth via experience. Continue to grow your intuition and personal associations with the deck, as well as remembering how the guidebook describes their meanings as that will be different from deck to deck, even if they’re all still tarot cards. Journaling, taking notes, or even just photos of your readings will be super helpful to build an understanding of the decks personality and to see where you might have previously misunderstood something.
bless op for this!!
I suffer from chronic migraines and medication sometimes only helps a little but this worked wonders!!
I made some slight adjustments that worked for me:
I added Eucalyptus to the mixture because it just felt right.
Instead of tea bags on my eyes, I just made myself a cup of mint tea (I’m always weary about putting tea bags on my eyes idk just a me thing)
I let a washcloth soak a little bit in the mixture (a minute nothing crazy) and placed it on my forehead once the temp was cool enough to touch
Just making the mixture and smelling it already relieved my pain. Relaxing in the bath and sipping on the tea made my migraine manageable.
Bless the person who sent me this, this may just be my new go to! ♡︎
Migraine Relief Bath
So I just finally got rid of 75% of my migraine (it’s at tolerable levels now)
Ingredients: -Lavender -Rosemary -Mint optional: mint tea bags I boiled the ingredients in about 2 cups of water for 5 minutes and poured it into a hot bath. For the tea bags I steeped them in the bath water and put them over my eyes.
Super helpful and it’s the first remedy I’ve found that works for my migraines.
So I've been thinking, I've been needing some help with cash and I was wanting to open up some tarot and pendulum readings so would anyone be interested if I opened up like paid tarot readings and stuff like that because I could use the cash trying to help out with my family and stuff. 🔮✨

You kid says your homemade mac and cheese is okay, but not as good as the instant kind that comes in a box.
🍄🌲This blog accepts all witches🌲🍄
Because we need to stop tearing each other apart and start sticking together. We already take enough shit, let’s not add to it.
Daily reminder that:
Chakras aren't what you think they are, they come from Hinduism, not Wicca or New Age, and you should learn about their actual meanings.
There are so many different ways people believe magic and witchcraft works. There isn't one correct answer.
There are so many open paths that there is no excuse to practice ones that are closed to you.
Witch is a gender neutral term.
It's okay to have doubts, it's normal and 100% valid.
So.

So many TV shows/movies depict the Epi Pen as a total solution for anaphylaxis...it's not. The Epi Pen gives you 30 minutes to get to a hospital where they can save your life. TV makes it look like you just have to use the Epi Pen and then the crisis is over. Do people without allergies or a loved one with allergies know that an Epi Pen only buys you time? The more I see this on TV the more I worry...
**Maybe you should reblog this because I'm actually worried that most people don't know.
READ THE EPI PEN INSTRUCTIONS TOO!
-Don't cover the back end (blue) of the Epi Pen with your thumb.
-Make sure the Epi Pen clicks when you inject it in the thigh AND hold it down for several seconds.
The person I reblogged this from deserves to be happy
I tried to scroll past this. I really did
hello!!
on May 25th, my partner had a string of seizures in the middle of the night. This was very concerning because they’ve never had any before, and didn’t have any conditions to explain it. They don’t have health insurance, but needed TWO ambulance rides (Americans already know how expensive that is) including an MRI, EEG and more. We were so scared of the bill that we instantly went and bought them health insurance, which basically drained us financially. They’re insurance doesn’t even go into effect until 7/1, so it won’t cover anything that’s happened. and we have a few neurologist appointments left before the 1st. We still don’t even know what’s wrong. So please, please please. If you can help at all, even $1 or .50¢, please help us. We are looking at over $7,000 in bills not including the ambulance rides, and we’ve only saved $4,000 in the past few years. We still need to pay rent & our bills through it all, which we can afford, but we can’t afford both. We can’t afford to pick and choose. I would never ever ask for help otherwise if we didn’t absolutely need it. If you can’t help financially, please consider retweeting this as that helps so much too. Thank you all so much <3

Etsy Shop: Open
Hello Friends!! ~
After so much debate with myself, I finally opened a witchy etsy shop! Currently I’m selling tarot readings and mini spell jars! I plan on creating a bunch of helpful docs to share! I’m so excited to add lots more to my shop and make wonderful things for you!
I’ll also be adding snippets of my documents on my blog, but the full versions will be available on my shop once they are completed! In the future I’ll add a few supplies to my shop as well as starter witch kits!
What are the Claires?
Chances are you've probably heard of the claires before (like clairvoyance), but what are they?
Essentially, they are six different spiritual abilities based on six senses.
Clairvoyance
Clairvoyance comes from the words clair (clear) and voyance (vision). This clair is the power to gain information through sight. If you are clairvoyant, you might gain information about something through pictures in your minds eye.
Clairaudience
Clairaudience comes from the words clair (clear) and audience (hearing). This clair is the power to gain information by sound. If you are clairaudient, you may gain information through sound or music in your mind's voice.
Clairsentience
Clairsentience comes from the words clair (clear) and sentience (feeling). This clair is the power to sense other people's emotions without seeing, hearing, or touching them. If you are clairsentient, you may often have "gut feelings", or may easily tune into the emotional energies around you.
Clairalience
Clairalience comes from the words clair (clear) and alience (smell). This clair is the power to smell things that aren't actually there. If you are clairalient, you may smell things such as perfume or cigarette smoke when there isn't any, which may alert you of a spiritual presence.
Clairguastance
Clairguastance comes from the words clair (clear) and gustance (taste). This clair is the power to taste things that aren't actually there. Like with clairalience, you may taste something to alert you of a spiritual prescence.
Claircognizance
Claircognizance comes from the words clair (clear) and cognizance (knowing). This clair is the power to gain information on things we normally wouldn't know about. If you are claircognizant, you may have instances where information pops into your head, such as a premonition.
