Clarice Lispector, From “Where Were You At Night”, Soulstorm: Stories (tr. Alexis Levitin)

i made a quiz! find out what type of witch you are.

Everyday things I do for Eros, god of love and sex

Pick flowers as I walk to offer for him

Tell people I love them and mean it

Kiss my partner in honor of him

Listen to and sing love songs

Watch a cheesy rom-com

Wear pink, red, or gold

This man loves Oreos so get Oreos at any cost (or any chocolate for that matter)

Tell him about my love life and gossip I hear about others’ love lives

Carry a rose with me or wear rose scented perfume

Practice self love, also to honor his mother, Aphrodite

Practice spiritual growth and love of life, also to honor his wife, Psyche

he is also the god of sex so there are 18+ ideas I’m sure you can think of yourself that I’m not going to put here for discretions sake

Overall, the best thing you can do to honor Eros is just to love unashamedly and unabashedly. Take pride in who you love and how you love them!

green witch: freshly pressed flowers, walking through a field of wildflowers, talking to the trees, terrariums, plants sitting on the windowsill, forest sounds

kitchen witch: cookbooks, stirring tea with intent, lots and lots of jars, herbs and more herbs, the smells of baking, tea blends swirling in jars 

storm witch: lightning crackling, calling up a storm, dancing in the rain, getting excited when you feel a storm coming, checking the weather activity

dream witch: sleepy eyes, soft blankets, meditating in the mornings to remember your dreams, reality checks, sleeping with crystals under your pillow

divination witch: wearing your pendulum as a necklace, sleeping with your tarot deck, shaky hands, too many tarot decks, meditating with your tools

sea witch: jars of seawater, walking barefooted on the sand, sitting on the beach at night, missing the seashore, balmy sea breeze, seashell collection

lunar witch: setting alarms for moon phases, talking to the moon, making moon water, getting ready for the next lunar eclipse, quiet moonlit nights

spirit witch: bonding with spirit companions, feeling the presences in a room, setting out offerings, seeing shadows out of the corner of your eyes, amethyst

fire witch: a whole bunch of scented candles, the smell of incense, cosy warmth, dancing flames, jars of ashes, almost burning the whole house down

crystal witch: keeping crystals in your pockets, crystals sitting on your windowsill under the moonlight, crystalline light reflections

water witch: way too many jars, running out in the middle of a storm to collect water, carrying a jar everywhere, shower cleansing and grounding rituals

tech witch: embedding sigils in code, stereoscopic light of a phone screen, ambient soundtracks, witchy phone apps, emoji spells, digital grimoires

music witch: jamming to your tracks over a spell, shufflemancy, headphones on earbuds in, charging tools with your speakers, playlist for every occasion

urban witch: dollar stores, carrying around their magickal tools, sigils for not missing the bus or train, finding that one witch book in local bookstores

glamour witch: sigils on the mirror, rose quartz in random places, makeup bags, looking fly, youtube channels on makeup, on-the-spot glamours

closeted witch: hiding grimoires in drawers, sigils for invisibility, waiting for everyone else to go out, performing spells behind locked doors at night

art witches: moon water in your paint cup, paint-stained fingers, charmed drawing tablet, colour corresponding your art supplies, local bookshops

Being mentally ill doesn't make you less of a witch.

Your medications are important and they help your magic, they don't hinder it.

Your deities understand if your worship is different because of your mental illness.

Your deities have thousands of years worth of experience with every type of worshipper, including ones with mental illness.

Your witchcraft is beautiful.

Motivation / Creativity / Inspiration Low Budget Spell Jar

What you will Need:

🖤 Any Type of Jar, I used small craft jars I purchased from the dollar store!

🖤 Yellow Candle

🖤 Palo Santo *

🖤 Lavender

🖤 Pink Himalayan Salt

🖤 Frankincense

🖤 Paper and a Pen



* This is all I had available to me, remember your intentions when making this jar. Please know Palo Santo is endangered and is part of closed practices with Indigenous People.

Starting:

- Cleanse your jar, go ahead and talk to yourself if you want!

- I made a sigil for my jar, if you want you can look up creativity, motivation, inspiration pre-made sigils or make your own!

- Roll the paper up, and insert it in your jar.

- Next, Layer the lavender, pink Himalayan salt, and frankincense until you reach the top of your jar. I made sure my sigil was fully covered with my materials.

- After I felt like I had enough in my jar, I put the cork in it and then sealed it with a yellow candle.

- I did not do this, but even add shards of Carnelian, Citrine, or tangerine quartz! Make sure to do your research with crystals before you add them into your work. These were some crystals I had in mind that helps boost creativity. Remember, this is YOUR jar. Add what applies to you.

* I do want to note that this may not work for everyone, or it will take a couple of tries until you feel like your spell has worked. It’s okay to try again in the future! This personally helped with me. *

* almost all of my materials were given to me, definitely check out your local dollar store in the craft area if you want small jars with a cork. They work for me the best!*
