hey do you have these spiky guys lying around in your neighborhood?
they’re called sweet gum tree balls ((or witches burrs)) and they fall off of sweetgum trees that are native to eastern north america, the eastern mediterranean, and east/southeast asia!
these little guys can be used for witchcraft purposes in case you haven’t already guessed. they’re good for banishing negative energy, protection, making wards. etc. so next time you see some lying around outside grab em and use them in your practice!
Things you will need to enchant an object.
The object you wish to enchant
Candle(s) That go with what you want
Yourself and your own energy
How to enchant your object step by step.
Light your candle or candles
Hold the object in your hands
Try and sense the energy that it contains
Visualize the goal you want with the object
Picture your energy entering the object
When you feel drained, break the connection of your energy to the object (Shaking your hands, Setting down the object)
Snuff out the candles (Or blow them out if that is what you do)
Now, your object should be enchanted!
Always remember when doing any type of spell to have protection!!

Aphrodite is in every one of us, we are all beautiful
"Multiplicity is an essential feature of the Greek god: Hesiod’s Aphrodite is not identical to the Aphrodite in the Iliad, nor is the Aphrodite of Sparta the same as the one of Athens. Even within the same city, the goddess offers more than one facet, depending on the location of her cults and the epithet she carries."
- Rethinking Aphrodite As a Goddess At Work by Gabriella Pironti
💖🌟 Let Venus light the way to grief.
May she reveal to you all obstacles in the way to your truth. May she pull back your hair as you cry over lost plans, lost experiences, lost lives. May she gently guide you away from from mourning when it is time, and lead you to the beauty that makes life worth living.
