Have you tried reading tea leaves? Give it a try ! You may get surprised ;)
It is essential to find animal bones in an ethically sourced manner. Bones have been apart of us and magic itself always. These rigid organs are used in forms of offerings, animism, grounding, cleromancy, and osteomancy.
Very dependent on the shape of the charm, many practitioners adorn their magical possessions with charms. (I.e a heart charm in a sachet representing romance.) From ancient Europe to Asia, jewelry and charms were tossed from baskets onto a soft surface for divination. There is also a process called charming, which is imbuing an object with a particular energy.
Coffin Nails are utilized in witchcraft for warding, mourning, baneful magic, and death work in general. Coffin Nails represent the security of one’s physical body, as it seals us off from danger.
Coins are utilized as offerings, charms, runes, and ways to honor deities and ancestors. Coins are also added to money bowls. Coins represent Fortune and Wealth.
Each Bird has a different magical significance, so the magical properties of a bird can be both interpreted from that as well as Color Magic. Feathers themselves embody the element of Air and are great for Cleansing.
Horseshoes have been hung over doorways for at least a few centuries. This tradition not only attracts luck and fortune, but wards your space from negative energy.
Iron Pikes come from the railroads that trains run across. These Iron Pikes are often already rusted, and imbued with the intentions of protection and warding.
Old keys have been used by many and have unlocked doors many times. Each time you use a key, visualize you unlocking and harnessing potential opportunity, closure, openings, journeys, protection, safety, warding, and security.
Leaves magically represent growth, transformation, nourishment, change, development, and can be used to draw sigils upon.
Seeds not only magically symbolize fertility, but potential, growth, wealth transformation, and fortune. One can use Nuts, Pits, Seeds, or Acorns in wealth, luck, and growth spells, or as a charm.
Cowrie shells were once one of the most common forms of global currency. African traditions use Cowrie Shells for Divinatory purposes since Ancient times. Shells embody fertility, sensuality, wealth, life, and spirit.
Sticks not only embody the Earth, but can be used for Wands, Besoms, Crafts, or in place of bones in Osteomancy. You can use any kind of wood you like including cinnamon and driftwood.
The gorgeous and delicate simplicity of one of the Earth’s greatest forms of matter not only provides grounding energy, but can be used and imbued for many other purposes as well.
You can eat.
You are loved if not by your family then by the gods.
You matter if you do or don’t follow the gender/sexual “norms.”
No matter where you are the gods are with you. They will listen, you’re loved, you’re amazing, they love your “ugly” Christmas sweater (I do too, you look bomb.)
Have a wonderful holiday!
I'm neurodivergent and i experience really intense burnout. I get to a point where I struggle to even get out of bed, take my meds, remember to drink water, let alone practice. But, when I want to practice i have a list of things i can usually do. Everyone's experiences with burn out/low energy are different so this list may not apply to you, and that's okay. Take what resonates, leave what doesn't and i hope you enjoy my silly little list :)
create a playlist and infuse it with an intention. eg, a money spell playlist filled with songs about wealth.
draw sigils with soap when in the shower. (you can also use a wet wipe if you can't shower)
found some juice? give it a little shake and use the ingredients as a spell.
have food that has grains as ingredients? wow! an abundance spell!
the classic add intention to your tea and coffee.
bind your hair. for me with is as simple as putting my hair in a ponytail.
watch a witchy video. while not technically practising witchcraft, sometimes all you need is to sit back and relax to connect with your practice.
when I have a decent amount of energy I'll grab a large pillar candle and carve sigils into it. I use it as a long-term spell; all I have to do to activate it is light the candle. I like to light one of these spell candles when I'm having a bad day.
if you're religious, pray. Even if you're lying in bed. Even if you haven't showered in a week. If it makes you happy and you can, do it
burn some insence! it smells good, you don't have to really worry about forgetting about it, it's good for cleansing. it's great!
take a nap with some crystals. any restorative crystals or calming crystals work great! just make sure that they aren't geodes or roughs. i'd hate for you to hurt yourself while sleeping.
if you don't have any crystals for your nap, set an intention instead. please let yourself rest.
It's important to remember that you're allowed to take breaks from your craft. If you're forcing yourself to practice when you have no energy because "that's what a good witch would do!" then you're probably going to make your situation worse. it's a great way to fall out of love with witchcraft. give yourself some grace. rest is infinitely more important than 1 full moon, 1 new moon, or missing your daily/weekly/monthly cleanse. You aren't a bad person if you don't pull your morning tarot card or check the astrology forecast for today. and you aren't a bad person if you miss your daily prayer. take care of yourself. your health is WAY more important than your craft. Go get a drink of water and take care of yourself <3
I needed to her this, might cry-
Hey! Friendly reminder that you are so strong and you have gotten through every single unsurvivable day in your past. You will get through this.
I’ll have to try this some time
Here are a compilation of Aphrodite spells that you can practice almost everyday. I personally find myself doing most of these things out of habit.
I hope you guys enjoy! Criticism is always allowed, and I highly appreciate the notes and likes :P
Also feel free to ask questions, I’m always happy to answer! And if you want me to post about something, let me know.
Aphrodite's balm
This spell is one you make once, and then can use it everyday. Apply it every morning on your wrist, neck, behind your ears, elbows, etc.
Ingredients
💕 1 ½ teaspoons beeswax beads
💕1/4 cup sweet almond oil
💕1 teaspoon vitamin E oil
💕2 drops vanilla oil
💕1 drop rose oil
💕2 drops jasmine oil
💕Almond oil
💕Sweet orange oil
💕Amber oil
💕A small jar/container to store the balm in
Directions
Melt the bees wax and sweet almond oil in a clean container/can in a sauce pan of water (Half full). Put the heat on medium and let the water melt the oils and wax. Remove the melted ingredients from the heat and with oven mitts remove the container. Now is the time to add in your essential oils and vitamin E oil. Stir in with a popsicle stick. Let the mixture cool slightly, but not enough to harden completely. Now stir again and add to your jar/container and then let harden completely.
Now you can enchant this object and I highly suggest calling upon Aphrodite to bless your creation, although this is completely optional.
When you want to use it, warm the product with your fingertips and scoop enough to apply as you would a solid perfume.
Immaculate Beauty Spell
- An edible spell that makes you feel like a god/goddess
This one you can make in the morning and night, and always puts me in a good mood.
Ingredients
💕Hot chocolate mix of choice - Self-love, Nurturing, Love, Balance
💕Dark/bittersweet chocolate - Love, Romance
💕Almond milk or any milk of choice
💕Vanilla - Attraction
💕Cinnamon - Power, lust, success
Directions
Heat up milk, then add your hot chocolate mix. Melt your real chocolate, and add vanilla and cinnamon. Let it sit on the heat for a couple more minutes. Pour into a favored mug, or one that is enchanted. Top with anything you’d like.
Spell of Sweet Speech
- A spell to sweeten your voice and words
This is a spell I do every morning when I start my skincare and makeup ritual. I learned it when I first started the craft.
Ingredients
💕Honey (Or agave nectar)
💕A spoonful of sugar
Directions
Take your ingredients, enough to coat your lips, and mix them together. Then using your thumb (this represents will power and will boost the spell) smooth the mixture over your lips. Envision what this spell will do for you, and think of your intent in your mind.
Other little things:
Enchanting all your skincare/beauty products
Burning pink and white candles every morning
Taking your time to pamper yourself (Proper hygiene, baths, skincare)
Doing the things you love ❤️
