When planting mint in your garden, plant it in its own pot rather than in the ground itself or it will quickly spread and take over the flower bed
🌱 Oxalis is a very common plant, and a great natural resource for beginning witches because of that!
🌱 Oxalis is bound to Venus and Earth, love and home respectively. This makes the plant perfect for home protection and similar spells home oriented.
🌱 They are also commonly mistaken for clovers! Which makes them great for glamours, they are able to masquerade as something other than themself without trying. The glamour can be made for love especially, because of the ties to Venus mentioned earlier.
🌱 They can be used for luck, not only because of their looks relating to clovers, but because of their own lucky and abundant properties. Use in money and wealth spells for abundance and prosperity, as well as luck spells!
🌱 These plants spread deep roots, which means they can help you with grounding. They are good to eat so consider eating some and grounding yourself before big magical endeavors!
🍀Overall we can see that Oxalis is a very versatile plant, used for love, luck, home, abundance, grounding, glamours. So go out and collect some!🍀
Happy Witching!✨
Ok, witches! I gotta tell you about meteorological symbols!
There’s one for every weather condition you can think of! You can probably find a longer list in the back of a dictionary, or just search Google images.
You can use them as sigils on their own, or use them as inspiration to make your own sigils!
Use them for weather summoning!
Use the symbols as a substitute for certain weather conditions! For example, if a spell calls for rainwater and you live in the desert, use the meteorological symbol for heavy rain.
Use the metaphorical attributes of the symbols in spells! For example, a hurricane for added energy, or fog for concealment.
The list goes on!
If you live in America mark on your calendars that August 21 will be the solar eclipse. It will peak at 2:44pm EST ( do a bit of research to see what you’ll be able to see and your locally occurring time).
I also highly suggest you collect solar eclipse water during this time. Solar eclipse water is good for supercharging spells to give it an extra kick if you need it as well as it works very well for spells involving transformation, change, or release.
