Fort Canning Tree Tunnel, Singapore ( Via )

I was wondering, how do you enter someone’s energy or your own? Like how do connect to people or your spirit guides?

It's kinda hard to explain? Specifically when connecting with people I go to the big tree energy thing and ask my guides to help connect me to their energy and then theres the little platform things that the energy sits on? Its like a little branch that is the same color as their energy too? Depending on what I'm doing I'll ask to connect with the energy blob thing that's on the platform (I think its a visualization of their core self/energy) and then then it happens?

As far as my guides they kinda don't ever leave? I call upon them for help and they show up for the most part, though sometimes situations require me to meditate and even meet with them on the Astral in order to do more complicated or time intensive things?

(I legit sound crazy) It sounds strange but its really hard to explain? It takes a lot of visualizing.

I hope this answered your question?

Home protection salt bowls

This is a modified version of the salt bowls I created for my home this morning. I kept some stuff to myself for privacy reasons. Correspondences are random/ important to me but not necessarily agreed upon by everyone. Feel free to use ingredients that make sense for you based on their purpose. 

Uses: place in a discreet location (so it won’t be disturbed) in various rooms throughout your home to cleanse, banish negativity, and provide protection. This particular recipe focused on cleansing/ banishing negativity and bringing an overall sense of peace and love to the home

Materials: *feel free to substitute or add herbs based on your needs. 

-small bowls, one for each room

-salt: protection and purification

-Himalayan salt: protection, peace

-Ground egg shells: grounding, protection

-Juniper Berries: warding off evil

-Lavender: calm, peace

-Incense Ash: protection

-Bay Leaves: prosperity

-Sage essential oil: protection, banishing negativity 

-sharpie to write on bay leaves

-mortar and pestle (optional) 

Method

1. Raise your energy, set your space, and call upon any outside forces as you see fit. 

2. Write hopes, wishes, desires, sigils, runes, whatever you see fit to set intentions on your bay leaves. Add one bay leaf per bowl.

3. Mix all other ingredients minus the essential oils into a mortar and pestle. Focus on intention and call upon anyone again as you’re grinding. Pour into small bowls. (you can mix in a larger bowl and distribute to smaller bowls without grinding if a mortar and pestle is not available)

4. Add one drop of essential oil per small bowl 

5. Hold hand over each bowl in turn, transfer your energy, invoke the Gods, elements, and components of the spell to work together to bring peace, calm, and safety to each room (invoke on whatever energies you originally called upon or whatever you see fit) 

Now your bowls are ready to be distributed around your home! I did one per major room (bedroom, office, kitchen, living room) You can do as many or as little as you choose! Be sure to properly dispose of ingredients, cleanse the bowls, and start over any time you feel they are becoming less effective, or if negativity has unexpectedly built up in your space.

Best Times and Moon Cycles for Cleansing

Days of the week

Saturday’s & Sunday’s are the best days for cleansing. Saturday’s are ruled by the elements and are a day of relaxing and letting down. The best day for cleansing and protection. Sundays are the day to get ready for the week, prepare and cleanse spaces and items.

Days of the year

•Spring Equinox

•May Day

A great day to cleanse, especially with fire. Purification is a theme of the day.

•Autumnal Equinox

Moon Phases

Two things I've learned:

Yes, deities and spirits can sense our emotions. No, they can't read our private thoughts.

Yes, deities and spirits know what we do in private (shit, jerk off, cry, pick our noses, etc). No, they don't mind, or frankly pay that much attention to these behaviors because they're about as remarkable as eating or sleeping.

Do you have any book recommendations to learn more about roman paganism and roman festivals? I'm interestes as a neo-pagan witch expanding and changing their craft. This is where my inspiration led me but I struggle to find sources.

Roman books and writings, mostly. That's the most authentic you can get with Roman polytheism & festivals. No one knows their own religion better than the people who practiced it but you have to vibecheck them for political agenda because a lot of these writers lived under tyrannical rule.

Cicero, Livy, Varro, Virgil (with caution), Ovid (double checking), Plautus, Horace, Tibullus, etc. I recommend looking through NovaRoma, Perseus.edu, or Penelope.edu for original Latin texts. Latin Library works too but it usually doesn't have translations.

Some books that aren't Ancient but have decent information:

A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology

Roman religion in Livy

Malevolent Gods and Promethean Birds: Contesting Augury in Augustus's Rome

Omens and Augury in Plautus

A Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities

The Roman Festivals of the Period of the Republic

A Companion to Families in the Greek and Roman Worlds

I have PDFs/links to all of these sources, so if you can't find something, just ask me.

Hope it helped!

loa pointers !! ♡

when you decide creation is finished, IT. IS. FINISHED. it is finished. there is absolutely nothing for you to worry about, it’s all taken care of. it’s already all worked out the way you intended it to. 

intuition and anxiety are two very different things. don’t let your anxiety fuck with you and what you know to be true.

techniques can be so beneficial in helping you remain in your desired state but they don’t manifest for you and you don’t need them. you can literally just affirm to get what you want. or just use techniques to get what you want. you don’t need to be sticking to a routine that involves hours of repeating affirmations and five different techniques morning and night. but again, if you want to do that go for it. it’s literally up to you, no stress. 

you don’t have to take on board every piece of advice you see from manifestation content creators and coaches, just adopt and apply what feels good to you. this post could be complete bullshit for you and motivating to someone else, it just depends and that’s okay.

you can change your past, present and future with loa. so that’s kinda sick. don’t underestimate the law. or yourself. 

getting in your head is likely to ruin your actual manifestation process and in my experience, slow it down and complicate it; that’s not too much of a problem but stop overthinking, simplify life, have a good time, it’s literally all we’re here for. what’s the point in getting your desire if you were miserable the whole time?

your mindset on life is likely to change a lot during the process of learning about and applying loa. embrace it, let it happen, don’t let it intimidate you.

with manifestation, you will always come out on top.

don’t limit yourself, let it happen.
