Hi daisy, does inducing a specific brainwave help in manifesting faster?
Yes! It's not necessary but some of those "brainwaves" help you to get in a state where your logical side of the brain shuts down and your subconscious takes over - which helps you be really in tune with what you're affirming and visualizing and it also helps you to detach from the 3D. I hope my explanation makes sense.
The posts I linked in this post make it pretty clear I think. Idk if they were hard to understand but I can try to summarize it for you.
As you can see here in the graphic below there are 6 types of brainwaves. Those are the waves your brain naturally sends out when you're in the respective state (described in the pic).
If you listen to those types of waves (through binaural beats in yt) you kinda manipulate your brain into getting into a certain state.
For now, you can ignore the beta and gamma waves. For manifesting and shifting, usually only alpha waves, theta waves, delta waves and epsilon waves are talked about as they help with relaxation/detachment/reduced consciousness.
From what was said in the other two posts:
Theta and alpha waves seem the best for manifesting.
Delta waves the best for entering the void state.
Epsilon waves the best for shifting realities.
But of course everyone is different and they may work differently on you.
The anon in this post also described their method or rather how they use those waves for manifesting/entering the void and for shifting:
Sitting down comfortable.
Lighting up a candle in front of you.
Putting on the specific waves you want to listen to.
Breathing deeply in and out and calming down.
Focusing on the flame.
Starting affirming when you reached a trance like state.
I hope that helped you understand it more!

This can be applied to deities, entities, spirits, or just any other entity you work with. I like to call these contracts but they are more of just a general house-rule list that can help make you more comfortable in a spirit-working relationship or even to keep you safe. You need to feel safe and secure when working with any entity or spirit or it will not be a productive relationship and could do more harm than good. Most of these house rules can help with that.
Edit or adapt them as you will, these are just suggestions.
"no entity is allowed to follow me or watch me in the bathroom while showering, when naked, or when using the toilet" - this is a good boundary to have if you generally need your alone time lol
"No entity is allowed in my space without my and [trusted spirit/entity]'s express permission"
"no entity is allowed to trick me and send me tests that damage or interfere negatively with my mental, emotional, physical, psychological, or spiritual well-being"
"No entity is allowed to lie to me under any circumstances"
"No entity, spirit, or deity is allowed to touch me without my express permission"
"No bringing any friends into my space without my express permission"
"All entities who desire to enter my space must abide by my boundaries, rules, and this contract"
"All entities in my space must always uphold my highest good until my final breath"
"No entity is allowed to mess with my children, trick them, or interfere with them. If you are going to be around them, dull down your energy so to not startle my children"
"No entity, deity, or spirit is allowed to mess with or interfere with my pets or animals unless i give my express permission"
"No entity is allowed to mess with or interfere with my family without my express permission"
"No opening portals in my space under any circumstances"
I personally will take a pendulum or use clairaudience to ask my spirit guides, deities, etc if they agree to the terms and conditions of the house rules and then like, sign their name at the bottom of the paper i write it all down on. If a spirit or entity says "no", then it may just be one of the rules they don't agree with. Take a minute and ask them why they don't agree with it and then maybe edit it to be more agreeable to both you and the entity in question.
Hello everyone! This is my new crystal series! I sure hope it doesnโt flop lmao but yep happy reading, and letโs get into it!
What then, are crystals?
Crystals have a stable and unchanging energy pattern, each with a unique frequency and energy field, or resonance that gives them special properties.
In this post, I will be recommending crystals which are suitable for beginner crystal collectors! Keep in mind Iโm not the best at these so feel free to add your own opinions! ๐
Disclaimer: crystals cannot replace medicine, donโt think that itโs an all rounding healing tool, it isnโt. If youโre sick, seek medical advice please!

Tips for my closeted witches <3
-Pick up gardening or cooking so you have an excuse to buy/grow herbs/plants
-Do your big spells at night, so no one will intrude & the power of the moon will be the highest than too
-For making moon water just stick a glass of water on your window sill for a couple hours, it doesnโt need to be overnight
-Use symbolism & substitution, such as symbols that represent any deities your work with (if you work with them) this way you can represent them subtly
-Wear a black shirt for protection (use color magic for clothes or make up)
-Make paper book covers to cover your witchcraft books, put them behind other books, or place them with your school work
-Take advantage of windy days and use wind to cleanse
-Practice candle magick
-Research energy work
-Practice ring magick
-Work with essential oils
-Use pdf books and change the name of the file
-Start a crystal collection because theyโre pretty
-Start a candle collection because they smell nice
-When making sigils, write them in moon water or in invisible ink so your parents wonโt see them
-Store pressed dried herbs in books
-If you play an instrument you can turn spells into songs or melodies
-Use regular cards instead of a tarot deck for cartomancy (in the link down below is our discord server where you will be able to find how to use and play cartomancy), you can also make your own tarot!
-Use showers to cleanse yourself with water and visualization
-Create a cleansing spray and disguise it as an air freshener
-Make a travel alter in an altoids can or make an altar on a board/baking tray and store it under your bed
-Turn your room into an altar, a plant could represent earth in the north corner, a fan or incense burner in the east for air, a dragons statue south for fire and a fountain for water in the west (you can choose what represents each element, this is an example)
-You can also make your altar in a shoebox
-make a digital altar (a dedicated tumblr blog, pinterest board, moodboard, a crafted temple in a building game, etc)
-dedicate meals to them before you eat it, art, music, writing, etc
-Say your grimoire/bos is a book of story ideas or info for a game of dnd
-make digital grimoires/bos in notion or google drive
-Art magick!!
-Sigils as fancy doodles or a language for a fantasy setting
-Trace sigils in your food, in the shower, while applying skin care, in your notebooks, digitally on pictures in your phone, draw a sigil on your nails before painting them with nail polish
-Drinking tea and youโre bad at drawing sigils at the bottom with honey? Donโt like the taste of honey but want to incorporate sigils on your tea) use washable markers on your mugs, you can also use color intent
-enchant your jewelry, masks, clothes, etc
-Pass your pendulum as jewelry
-Make your own incense with kitchen spices/herbs
-If you need to get rid of the smell of incense or perfume or burnt herbs, you can make a solution of 50% water and 50% white vinegar in a spray bottle, also keeping a wet wipe or mini towel next to you can absorb some of the odor
-Hide stuff in plain sight and say theyโre decorations (crystals, shells, feathers, etc)
-Spend time on nature so you can connect to the Earth
-If you want to have chalices, you can try to find a cup that you can pass off as drinking cup you keep in your room, if this isnโt possible, than even something as small as a thimble can work
-containers you can use, little pots of lip balm when it runs out, container ||sharpeners||, the containers of camera fills, use old makeup containers, sweet containers, lead containers (pencils, compasses, etc.), medicine containers, etc
-take advantage of being home alone!!!!
-candle wax can be replaced with glue (if you want it with color respondence you can put colorant in it) or melted crayons

Arcturus, Saturn & Venus
Once again reminding everyone to start their research into the Greek and Roman gods with theoi.com. I cannot convey to you how helpful the translations and (most importantly) vettings are. Yes, yes, Ovid is on there, but it tells you about who said what, what they said, and the time period it was made. From there, you can continue your research and learn more!
May we have the courage and sensibility to feel all the things that can't be seen.
I know a lot of baby witches have trouble with finding where to start out so I complied a list of good resources for the absolute beginner witch!! Hope this helps โค๏ธ๐ฟ
Witchy starter terms
Witch terms pt.2
Witchcraft symbols
Tree magick
Herb master post
(smudging is a term from Native American that is not an open practice, smoke cleansing is called Smoke Cleansing, smudging is closed as well as white sage and san palo, important Native American herbs)
I would definitely look into what are closed practices, as to avoid any cultural appropriation as many things like โhoney jarsโ or hoodoo powders are actually from closed or semi closed practices. It is important to know where these come from and itโs cultures as to avoid closed practices appropriation and to use some things like Nazar or chakras to know the significance and actual history and if you can work with them or not. Especially with spells or Deities or anything new.
Some closed practices info (not all of the closed practices in the world)
Moon phases and witchcraft

( I would lay off deity work at the beginning, you might never work with any, but it can be extremely dangerous even lethal and some dieties are from closed religions)
Home magick
Protection magick
Protection magick pt2
I would wait to do spells until you have all your information and research and do protection spells for your first spells. Also I wouldnโt do blood magick, as it is very powerful and can have major consequences if you donโt know what your doing, and spirit work or any work with deities.
Pagan vs Wiccan

I would definitely also look into some history of witchcraft and paganism (not just Wicca to the 1960โs history, but of the growth of witchcraft in the Renaissance era as well as traditional magic with the Greeks, to Celtic etc, as the impacts of those occultists, as some are very problematic like Crowley), as well as the impacts of other cultures and practices like Hinduism, Native American, Jewish Mysticism etc on modern western spirituality and giving that homage back to those cultures e.g chakras, yoga, spirit animals (closed practice), smudging, dream catchers, Kabbalah etc

you donโt have to be โfully healedโ in order to love and be loved. you donโt need to โfixโ yourself so that you can feel like youโre okay enough to experience the gifts of a life well lived. you are not damaged goods. you are not broken. you are not some object โbeyond fixingโ. youโre a person with a soul whoโs been through so much. you are always worthy and deserving of what you desire and more. youโve had your lowest moments and went through what you didโ thatโs all the more reason why it doesnโt make you less deserving of all the good things you want in life. in oneness with your experiences, the highs and lows, your perfect imperfections, and underneath all the conditioning; you are whole. you always were and you always will be.
small reminder that this reality isn't the blueprint. why tf would one singular reality dictate the whole damn multiverse??? you are allowed to script and shift to whatever reality you want, even if it's deemed as "unrealistic" from this reality's standard. you are allowed to have EVERYTHING you desire, don't let this reality limit you from what you truly want.
