Studying Powder

While I took a nightly stroll I could not help but notice the air was dense of energy. Tonight is a special night I feel, and the inspiration is flowing through me. Which is always welcome. I have felt quite drained lately

So you’ve made a spell jar….now what?

I was recently asked what to do with a spell jar once it’s made. I thought my answer would be simple, but the more I wrote, the more I realized it wasn’t. So here’s a guide for those that need it showing what to do with different bottles depending on your intent.

Positive influence on yourself or in your life: -Place somewhere you will see it very often, like a sunny window, bedside table, desk, or altar. Seeing it every day will help strengthen your intent and remind yourself why you made it. -Place somewhere that you meditate. If you meditate regularly you can take a few moments during that time to hold the jar and focus on the spell, the result that you want, and how to help make that happen. -Keep it on your person throughout the day. If the jar is small enough, it can be kept on you inside a purse/bag, coat pocket, or as a necklace. It will act as a conductor for the positivity that you want.

Beauty/Glamour: -Place on vanity or in bathroom. Placing it at the central point of your daily beauty routine will maximize the use of the spell bottle. -Keep in makeup bag/kit. Keeping it in a container with all of your beauty supplies will infuse it’s intent with everything inside. -Stash inside your dresser or closet with the clothes that correspond to your spell (date clothes, party/club clothes, formal wear, lingerie). -Bury in a pot of flowers and keep by a mirror you use for your daily beauty routine. Flowers are a universal symbol of beauty and having something living channel your spell makes it much stronger. -Keep it on your person throughout the day. If the jar is small enough, it can be kept on you inside a purse/bag, coat pocket, or as a necklace. Keeping the jar close to you will help influence the beauty spell/glamour longer and stronger.

Weight Loss/Gain and Exercise: -Stash inside your gym bag/locker. It will serve as a boost right before you work out. -Keep with your food. If you are using it to control eating habits, keep it in your pantry/fridge IN FRONT of all of your food. It will be a barrier between you and your food. You’ll have to get past the jar before you touch anything else. -Keep it on you’re kitchen table. If you are using it to battle eating disorders and/or increase your eating habits, place it where you eat all of your meals. -Take it with you while you move. If you like to ride your bike for exercise, use an unbreakable/break resistant bottle and tie it to your bike. If you like to walk/run with your kids in a running stroller, put it on the stroller where your child can’t reach it. -Store it with your work out clothes. The spell will bleed over into the clothes so that you have it whenever you put them on. -Keep it on your person. If the jar is small enough, it can be kept on you inside a purse/bag, coat pocket, or as a necklace. It will influence you as well as remind you of our goals all day.

Influence Relationships: -Place in the heart of your home. If you are trying to influence your family or the relationships within, keep it where you’re family spends time together the most (kitchen, livingroom mantle, game room, dining room). If you can’t practice openly at home, use a container that is pretty and not see through, fill it completely so it doesn’t rattle, and glue it shut. That way, to everyone else, it will just be pretty decoration. -Give it as a gift. Decorate the bottle and give it as a gift to the person whose relationship with you, you want to influence. -Keep next to their photo. Keep it next to a photo of the person you wish to change your relationship with. -Keep it on your person. If the jar is small enough, it can be kept on you inside a purse/bag, coat pocket, or as a necklace. The bottle will work it’s magic whenever you are around the specified person.

Health: -Stash in the bedroom. Placing the jar on your nightstand, under your pillow, or under your bed will allow health spells to work while you sleep, especially if you are bedridden. -Store with your medicine. If you have to take medication regularly, store it with your meds. -Keep next to your drinking water. If you use drinking water that isn’t from a tap, store the jar where you store your water. The spell will bleed into your drinking water to influence your health. -Keep it on your person. If the jar is small enough, it can be kept on you inside a purse/bag, coat pocket, or as a necklace. If it is on your person, it can influence your health all day, healing you or protecting you from an illness that is spreading.

Dreams: -Stash in the bedroom. Placing it on your nightstand, under your pillow, or under your bed will keep it close while you sleep so it can influence your dreams. -Store with your pajamas. Storing it with the clothes that you sleep in will infuse them with the spell’s energy (unless you sleep naked of course, but I don’t need to know about that). 

Wards/Banishments: -Keep it on your person. If the jar is small enough, it can be kept on you inside a purse/bag, coat pocket, or as a necklace. It will act as a shield to keep away whatever you want. -Bury it in your yard. If you are just trying to banish something/someone from your life or ward them away from your home and family, bury it in your yard. It will act as a shield. -If you are trying to banish something/someone and send them far away from you, bury next to train tracks. -If you are trying to banish thoughts or habits or trying to forget something, bury it in a cemetery. If you can’t bury it in a cemetery, bury it somewhere in the woods and forget it’s location.

★.*   ☀  SUMMER WITCHY THINGS TO DO!  ☀ .*★.*

Summer is around the corner! Here are some great things to do to get you into summer magic! Summer is the time of abundance and prosperity!

Make Fragrance Oils, Extracts or Waters You can use summer flowers and herbs like honeysuckle, mint, basil, oregano, and lavender to infuse in oils, make flavor extracts with 100 proof alcohol or some like rose and honeysuckle you can simmer and make into a water that makes great flavoring to foods or a toner. Also basil soothes mosquito bites. I rub the crushed leaves over the bites and they don’t itch horribly. I looked it up to see if it was just my weird family methods or if this was a thing but it is kind of a thing. Mint too. Aloe also helps!

Nature Trips!! Go to the beach! To the woods! To the mountains! To the lake! Collect stuff there for your craft! Make cool things into runes like seashells, fallen sticks and branches, mountain rocks or lake stones. I like Bree’s simple runes cause its simple and you can be very creative with it. Make those cool things I just said into talismans, necklaces, here’s a simple guide on how to wire wrap. Go camping in those places, bring some witchy friends! Make a bonfire (if it’s legal). Leave offerings to the fae or mermaids where ever you go, leave offerings to nature.

Use Aloe and Mint in your Bath Witchery and Beauty magic Aloe is soothing for sunburns and moisturizes the skin while it’s not a heavy substance so you feel light. It is also very cooling. Mint cools as well but remember to dilute mint essential oil or else it will leave an icy burning feeling!! Be careful not to put it in any open crevices. Add herbs like citronella, sweet grass, catnip etc in your body oils to ward insects and Mosquitos! (The three herbs also smell super summery like camping trips and freshly mowed lawn lol.)

Witchy Friends!!! And attraction spells A lot of witchy meet ups happen in the summer!!! July 9th is the 5th Annual Witch Festival in Astor Place Manhattan.  Go to meetup.com or find ways to meet other witchy friends! I made tons of witchy friends this time of year last year! Also network! People are out and about and looking for people during the summer. Its easy to connect with people that can help you in your career! Its a great time to meet people in general so attraction spells are fantastic now.

PROSPERITY!!!! Summer is a time of Prosperity! BOOST THE PROSPERITY SPELLS AND MONEY SPELLS you see that green all over the newly sprouted trees?? USE THAT SUMMER GREENERY AS MOTIVATION TO GET SOME GREENERY IN YO POCKETS But seriously, this is the time of year that brings wealth for some reason. It has always been for me personally until I realized in some pagan lore this is the time of year of working hard, advancing career and gathering wealth. Maybe its because the sun is exerting the most of it’s energy on the land and it is bringing forth a lot of potential. Use that potential and energy, and people being about to bring about wealth in your life. This Summer Solstice (June 20th, next Monday) is also on a FULL MOON so that day will be a powerful day for prosperity magic!

Tend to your garden If you are lucky to have a lovely garden make sure to tend to it as summer can dry it out easily. If you tend to it well and lovingly it will return the love during lammastide which is the time of reaping what you sow and benefiting from your hard work.

Grow Aloe Plants if you can Having indoor plants is great as well but growing and tending to an aloe plant can be very beneficial this time of year to help the skin. It’s also fantastic to drink as it is very hydrating and great for the hair.

Make a bee fountain and sanctuary! Bees are wonderful and are working pretty hard this time of year. Here’s how to make a little bee fountain! Here’s how to make a little bee house! (Warning for people with tropophobia. It can look quite holey..) Both are easy! Here’s a butterfly fountain too if you are interested.. 

Make these honeypots for unwanted insects and Mosquitos These jars use yeast to create CO2 which attracts them but they get stuck inside. Working with yeast can be tricky. Hopefully this guide is helpful and straightforward

Make Summer Candles with Citronella and Sweet grass Mosquitos hate that. It also smells wonderfully summery. Add fragrances like cedar oil and sandalwood to give it a summer woods and bonfire fragrance. 

Enchant a glass bottle to use as your water bottle. It’s important to use glass or stainless steel cause on incredibly hot days plastic leaks into the water. If you a bougie witch here’s a water bottle with a crystal inside. If you’re a crafty witch you could see that it’s just a glass bottle with a glass capsule inside full of crystals and you could just get a big mason jar, or recycle a voss glass water bottle, buy one of those small glass jar capsules, fill it with crystals, find a sanitary way to attach it to the lid of the jar and bam. Your own, not $100 costing crystal water bottle. 

Gathering energy by sunbathing If you love sunbathing, take a moment to absorb the sun’s rays and convert it into energy! If you love working with sigils then cut out some sigils with a piece of thick paper and stick it to your body and let the sun charge it with it’s energy. As you tan the sigil will be tattooed into your skin!

Feel free to add to this! I hope you all have fun with getting your summer magic on!

silly thoughts

But I find it hard to stay awake during the day. I just feel so energised by the presence of the stars and planets, but as soon as the sun shines, it’s gone. I guess I need to focus my efforts on harvesting the sun’s energy. After all, it is my guardian planet. I’m gonna have to get back to you on this one, need to find out more on how to deal with it

Anti Anxiety Spell Charm Ingredient Substitutes

(CLICK HERE FOR ORIGINAL POST)

One of my more popular posts, My anti anxiety spell charm has gotten lots of questions. 

The most common being ingredient substitutes. 

My original recipe includes Lavender Buds, Eucalyptus Leaves, Spearmint Leaves, And a shard of Selenite. 

If for what ever reasons you can not access or use these ingredients substitutes are fine. 

Swap out the Lavender for Hibiscus or Chamomile (Use tea bags if you have them) 

Or substitute the Eucalyptus or Spearmint with peppermint (Also available ads a tea)

The Selenite is completely optional and more of a luxury item than a necessity for the spell to work. It keeps the spell charm cleansed and purified while also clearing stress and anxiety. A clear Quartz would also do the job fine. 

As I usually mention in my posts, My recipes should always be seen as a base for you to use. Use them as inspiration and change them to fit your craft.  Use what ingredients work for you, And what you have available to you.

Spell to not give a shit:

Light a candle, whisper your problem to it, then say: 

“I do not give a shit. 

You can’t make me give a shit.

My last fuck has flown.”

And blow out the candle, symbolizing you blowing out the shit you were supposed to give.

Disguising Magic in an Unsupportive Household

1. Crystals: wearing and keeping crystals around is a good way to express your personality and interest in nature without showing that you’re explicitly practicing the craft

2. Herbs: Whether in soaps, candles, or food and drinks, herbs are a good way to share your magical ways through gifts and spending time together without them knowing about your craft. 

3. Gardening and enjoying the outdoors: Most people don’t know that being a witch implies having a love for nature. Maybe suggest gardening as a chore you’d like to have weekly. This is very easy way to spend time with family at the beach on vacation, experiencing a National Park, or in the backyard without them knowing that this is actually a part of your craft. 

An unsupportive household can cause a lot of anger, sadness, and resentment. Don’t forget to keep a journal (Book of Shadows) about your experiences, as an escape, and a way to vent.

Witch Tip: for artists

Things you can do with paintwater:

- use it in spells for art, creativity, or to help lift artists block

- use sun/moon/rain water with your water color paints, to rinse your paintbrushes while painting or to clean them afterwards

- make a gem elixir with crystals that have creative/inspirational properties and use that while painting, cleaning brushes or rub on your temples to stimulate the mind

- use paintwater in spells to banish feelings of dullness, dry spurts, little inspiration or frustration with your art
