Coloured Threads - Bracelets

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.

Green witch tip!

Use recycled plastic containers for your baby plants. 🌱🤘🏼

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!

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:

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.

Waxing Moon:

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

First Quarter:

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.

Waxing Gibbous:

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

Full Moon:

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

Waning Gibbous:

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

Third Quater:

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.

Waning Moon:

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.

plant protection charm!

i’ve been researching how to magically protect and help my plants grow, and this is what i’ve found works for me. 

i found three healthy acorns from the tree in my yard (i have a relationship with that tree so i think it’ll work better, but any willing tree should work) ask the tree for its protection and thank it once you’ve found the fallen acorns. take a needle and some thread (i used a pale, earthy green thread) and string it through the acorns. tie the thread tightly so that it makes a small circle, maybe the size of a tiny bracelet. hang the acorns somewhere in your house, i hang it over my sprouting plants but i’m sure above your alter or near your door would work too. 

the oak is considered the king of the plant kingdom, from what i’ve read, and is known for its strength and care of the forest. i’m sure if its willing, it will protect your plants too! seems to work for me

To all my fellow new witches!!!

Hobby Lobby usually always has their glassware on sale for %50 off!!!

This is perfect for starting to collect your moon waters and simple herbs.

The little heart jars I have dried rose petals in which I think is just adorable. Then I have basil and pink Himalayan salt in some bigger ones.

You can also keep regular sea salt in one so you can hide it away from your family’s kitchen.

This is perfect for me because when things have a more witch aesthetic to it, it gives me more motivation to continue with my craft. It’s also just really fun 😁

But seriously some of these go down to a dollar and I think that’s incredible!!!

The Essential Oil:

Volatile aromatic substance obtained from plant raw material either by steam distillation preferably at low pressure or by a dry distillation process called pyrogenation, more precisely the essential oil is considered as the distilled essence of the plant and has the advantage of not containing any fatty substance.

Floral Water:

Or Hydrolat, is the condensed water vapor resulting from the distillation of an aromatic plant and / or a flower which naturally separates from the essential oil at the exit of the still and which is charged with molecules aromatic during distillation, rich in versatile active ingredients. Floral water has an aromatic molecule concentration varying between 0.05 and 0.1%. It complements and reinforces the action of the essential oil, thus allowing safe use.

The Extract:

These are aqueous or alcoholic macerations that are more or less concentrated by evaporation, in this way thick or solid fluid extracts are obtained.

Fresh Juice:

The fresh juice is obtained from crushed and pressed fresh plants. The juice obtained is put in the fridge for a day to let it settle and then it is filtered.

The powder:

Shade-dried plants are finely cut and then pulverized in a mortar. These single plants or in a mixture are sold in sachets (infusette) to make herbal teas that do not need to be strained.
