Red Thread - protection against enemies, malefica, gossip, evil spirits, afflictions of health. Serves well to overcome enemies, against the evil eye, invite love, luck, joy and auspiciousness.
Blue Thread - protection against evil words, evil eye, healing melancholy, subduing fiery aspects that detriment the person (such as harsh tempers and excessive work), dark blue aids in spirituality and legalities.
Green Thread - in correspondence to my previous posts on the colour green. Darker greens seem to help more strongly with works relating to love and herbal medicine. Mixing it with red thread combines the aspect of Fauna and Flora essentially combining two aspects of the forces of Nature. Aids healers.
Black Thread - good for saturnine spells, wards off malefica, enemies, evil spirits. Bringing good fortune, honours, dominating enemeis and incredibly strong protective spells.
White Thread - protection, blessing, peace, healing. Good in combination to red in spells to remove evil and protect the person against inauspiciousness. Strengthens lunar qualities in the person.
Yellow Thread - I can't help but think of pestillence when I think of Yellow so I would view this as a colour for protection against sickness, bestowing good fortune and healing pestillence. I remember Backwoods Shamanism making reference to the colour yellow being used to petition the spirits related to the sickness to either inflict or leave the person afflicted.

If you want to look stunning - and I mean head-turning, Helen of Troy, most-beautiful-person-they’ve-ever-seen stunning then do I have a spell for you. This spell was first made by the two of us, and it turned out far more successful than we could have imagined.
The primarily magical crux of the spell lies in the bath salt mixture, which should be made by (your) hand for best results.
Combine in a mortar and pestle:
A handful of sea salt
A handful of epsom salts
3 crushed up dried red rose petals
Essential oil of sweet orange
Essential oil of rose
Essential oil of jasmine
Some (body safe!) glitter
A dash of cinnamon
Grind together while envisioning your intent (which is to become a goddess incarnate).
For the spell itself, you will need:
The salts you just made
Several gold, pink or white candles
Items you find pretty
Dragon’s Blood incense
A small mirror
Lotion you like
A great, empowering, playlist (optional)

I made a crystal grid and moon phase tracker tonight. I used A paint your own mandala from dollar general that I painted over black with blue and splatter some blue, purple, and white on it. I used metallic craft marker for the grid lines and moon stickers for the moon, I had to doctor them up a bit to make it work. Now for a clear coat of poly and then all done.

⭐Add roses to Banishing Spells to overcome a bad habit
⭐Use rose petals in your bath for attraction rituals
⭐Make rose water
⭐Use the thorns from roses in Protection Spells or to deflect negative energies
⭐Can be used in any Beauty Spells
⭐Stuff rose petals into poppets/dolls for love, romance, and attraction.
⭐Rose colors mean different things. Use them for specific energies:
White- New Begins, Purity
Pink- Sweetness, Sincerity
Yellow- Friendship, Cheerfulness
Purple- Love at first Sight, Royalty
Black- Major Changes, Mystery
Red- Love, Passion
⭐Enchant a rose or a bouquet of roses before giving them to someone
⭐Use wilted roses for opposite effect (wilted purple rose being disinterest at first sight.) Not to be confused with dried roses. Roses left to naturally decay on a rose bush as much as possible.
⭐Sprinkle red rose buds on a candle to help bring in loving energy. Yellow rose buds to bring in friendships, etc.
⭐Use roses in tea to bring love, healing, and protection into your being.

so you're a bit confused about the different phases of the moon or how and what they do or you're just too lazy to actively hunt down the info and put it in your grimoire. No worries, your witch dad is here to help you :)
new moon, happens every month, start of a new lunar cycle.
cannot be seen, sun behind moon-lighting side faced away from the earth.
best for: new beginnings, setting intentions for the month, best place to make plans and decide what to do.
seen as crescent in the sky, illuminated on right-hand side as sun slowly starts to move from behind the moon. first sign that energy is building and in a few days the moon will be at full power
best for: working on self-confidence/compassion/self-assurance. put plans into place to reach goals. build yourself up
can see a clear half-moon in the sky. at half power. sun is side by side with moon
best for: reflection, taking a pause, revel in what you have been working on and celebrate achievements. think about how u want to celebrate full moon, get ready for serious action.
slither of dark moon left unseen. one step away from full power
best for: one phase away from full, hone in on intentions/goals/actions.
make sure you are paying attention to details and staying mindful of what is externally and internally happening
Big boy moon. Full power. can tap into her energy to help gain insight or to 💫manifest💫. most powerful time of the moon
best for: manifestations, adding more power to your intentions. good for rituals/spells. great time for releasing or banishing rituals, manifestations spells and meditation. good for charging and cleansing. Moon water
winding down of moons power. sun is moving away and taking its light with it.
best for: turn inwards and evaluate what has happened over last few days. think about full moon ritual/meditation and readjust your intentions goals for the rest of the month
illuminated on the left side. back to half power and is fading.
best for: let go of what is holding you back, let go of any negativity in your life. Examples: self-limiting beliefs, people who aren’t great for you or your life, fear and basically anything that isn’t serving you or letting you progress in your life. Cleanse yourself and home.
power of moon is nearly over. small crescent left in night’s sky. nearly time for new moon and new beginnings.
best for: take a deep breath and surrender to whatever happened and what is beyond your power. don't beat yourself up if you didn't complete any of your goals. dust yourself off and pick yourself up and get ready for a new cycle. Remember to be kind and compassionate to yourself.
Things you’ll need:
Parsley
Bay Leaves
Thyme
Cedar twigs (the little green parts)
What to do:
Powder the herbs
Charge the powder with intent (that’s the important part)
You can burn as incense, use in witch bottles, or keep the powder around for ritual use.
My family and I have been using cedar since I can remember to cleanse our houses of nasty energies and bad spirits. I’m not sure how this incense will smell, but I’m sure cedar will give a nice earthy smell. Also be careful when you are burning home made incense.
