Here in the Midwest, the moon is very high in the sky tonight, but it is very red. What is the significance of this for various witchy folk?

That’s the beginnings of the Harvest Moon! It will reach its peak this year on September 6th at 3:04 a.m. so keep your eyes pealed. 

For us witchy folk, the Harvest Moon signifies a time for clearing out clutter, completing tasks, tying up loose ends, and beginning the future with a clean slate, or for doing spells relating to these things. For those who follow the wheel of the year, it is the full moon nearest to the Mabon celebration and a great time to honor the gods. 

A Job Hunter’s Spell by @thecluelesscoyote.

Today, I created a spell for the very first time. Maybe I should have done more research into how to make that happen most effectively, but I decided to go with my gut and work with what I’ve got. It felt good.

The bowl in back contains a few pennies and a sachet full of shed snakeskin. The miniature green candle has a sigil, designed by @thesigilworkshop, carved into it. This one in particular is also drawn on my wrist and carried in a slip of paper in my cell phone case right now. “I have found the job I was looking for”. I wanted to put that message out into the world while also preparing a contingency for the possibility that I am disappointed by another rejection. The candle and the bowl are for the best case scenario. The stones are for the worst. To remind me how I’ll move forward if need be.

A Job Hunter’s Spell by @thecluelesscoyote

* green candle [for luck, success, abundance]

* snakeskin [for transformation and change]

* copper penny (pre-1982) [for prosperity] * rose quartz [for comfort and healing]

* amethyst [for soothing]

* carnelian [for motivation and endurance]

* white sage incense [for purifying and clearing away negativity]

I’m new to this, but I don’t think I’m one for verbal incantations. I lit the candle and the incense and pressed my fingers to each component of the spell, thinking about their meanings in my mind, visualizing the results I’m hoping for in either scenario. I let the candle burn out.

Please give your feedback, if you'd like! It was recommended to me by @growing-yet-into-magic to try a circular configuration next time, as well as to not spread my sigils too thin. What are your thoughts?

Solar eclipse tea🍵☉

I saw that someone on here started the idea of solar eclipse tea and I immediately started making my own. So, this is not my idea and I am not trying to steal it. I just loved it and wanted to share my tea. 🌸🌹💕

I took some raspberry & mint tea.

🌙Properties of raspberry : love, strength, endurance, reliability.

🌙Properties of mint: healing, money, travel, prosperity.

I put some coconut sugar in it, but I thought it would be okay to write down the properties of normal sugar.

🌙Properties of sugar: love, lust, sympathy, wisdom, grace.

And, I’ll let that sit in the sun the whole day. That way, it also soaks up the properties of the solar eclipse.

🌙Properties of the solar eclipse: charging spells, transformation, change and relief.

This on its own is a spell that has so many uses and I thought I’d share it with you guys, for it is such an easy but great thing to do.

The King of Wands, Reversed

I feel resistant to reversed cards. I dread their apparent negativity. 

I didn’t have much information to call up about this one right off the bat, beyond the fact that wands are fire. Desire and will. So... I looked it up. 

This card reversed can indicate inauthenticity. Doing things that don’t feel true to you. It could be warning against recklessness or risky impulses. It may mean that you are holding yourself to grand, but unrealistic expectations that you are struggling to achieve, resulting in frustration with your lack of progress.

Looking at the card right side up, the King looks cocky and authoritative. Reversed, those same qualities could seem brash and egotistical.

Reflecting on my day, at the end of it, this card was accurate. I had to ask my mother for help paying my health insurance bill, which is very unlike me and which causes me an enormous amount of distress. I am fiercely independent. I feel like a failure. But is it reasonable to hold myself to expectations of financial security, given the current situation? No. It isn’t.

Maybe I need to take it easier on myself and learn to accept help when I need it.

I'll try anything at this point. Sticking this on a piece of paper inside my phone case. Wish me luck.

This request is a two-part-er. I wanted to make sure to cover all the bases. 

01 “My job search is swift and successful”

The first sigil is for use while you are looking for a job to apply to. Keep it open on your computer / phone / device / whatever while you are searching, or write it on your person as you look.

02 “I got the job I was looking for”

The second sigil is to be used after you have found a job that you want to apply to. Energetically project this sigil onto your resume when you go for your interview, or, alternatively (again), write it on you somewhere, preferably where the interviewer won’t see it.

Magic is really very simple. All you’ve got to do is want something and then let yourself have it.

To Aid in Job Hunting

I was asked for one of these earlier today and I knew I had written one (in one of those notebooks or google files lol) so here we go! This can be made into either a spell jar or a charm bag, whichever you feel more comfortable with!

bay leaf – prosperity

cedar chips – success 

caraway seed – luck 

sunflower seeds – power & manifestation

ginger – confidence 

Just like any other jar or bag, intent is the key ingredient. If you’re making a jar you can light the candle to seal it now (bonus – feel free to carve sigils or words on intent into the wax if this is the only thing you will use this candle for – tea lights are perfect for this!) 

Go ahead and add those ingredients one at at time. Think about what you want to get from this, imagine yourself working, nailing an interview, etc. If you aren’t great at meditating or focusing, I find that saying them out loud, or writing out the things you want to manifest help tremendously, fold it up and put it in the bag! 

Seal up the jar or tie up the bag. Bring it with you when you look for jobs, apply for jobs, have interviews, etc. 

Remember– magic will NEVER take the place of hard work, you can’t get a job if you don’t put in the effort to get a job, this is just to help you along the way!

Best of luck, my loves!!

Also if you have trouble sealing jars, I have a tutorial here. And all of my other spell jars, tutorials, grimoire stuff, etc can be found here.

I'm brand spankin' new, but I'm excited to post original content and do an awful lot of learning.

New Witch Blogs!!

For a few weeks now I’ve been using the Golden Thread tarot app. One of its features is a daily draw. Now that I have a physical deck, I’ve been doing a daily draw in both the app and real life, which I’ll likely reflect on here when it feels meaningful.

Today’s daily draw is the Page of Pentacles. I sat on my bed, shuffled, then quietly pressed my hands to the splayed out cards and thought, “What do I need to know about today?” I closed my eyes and pulled a card by feel.

My first thoughts were, “Pages, new opportunities. Pentacles, earthly and material things.” Maybe this is about my finances looking up. One can hope. I investigated various analyses as to the meaning of the card, as Tashi did not gift me with the box or guidebook. I’ve shared what felt relevant below.

The Galaxy Tarot app has this to say: “Cautious, new job or project, new studies. The page is a youthful, dependable, practical person, willing to work hard to gain new knowledge or skills.”

The Rider Waite app was nonsensical to me and provided too many interpretations. It’s much more comprehensive, but it didn’t seem to offer anything useful this time.

The Golden Thread app says: “Pages are the child, the new spark, the holder of energy. Dreams, desire, new opportunities. You are on the brink of giving life to a new venture or opportunity that brings you luck in the material world. You are full of energy and enthusiasm to make this new opportunity come to life.”

Looking at the card itself, the Page appears to be holding the light of the sun in one hand. She is floating towards the light, away from a darker corner where bird beaks that look like sharp claws peek out. The sun is a pentacle. She is looking away from it.

This could mean many things, I suppose. It feels optimistic, but she’s unfocused on the brilliant sun. I’m choosing to interpret it as an appeal to keep my chin up and my eyes on the prize. Encouragement to continue my job search. That my luck is about to change.

I need that optimism right now.

Returning to the Tarot

A month or so ago, I was spending a weekend in the woods with a few close friends. The weekend was fraught with drama. My partner had had enough of my metamour and was in the throes of breaking up with her throughout the trip. I was full of resentment and disdain for her, as well as triumphant. Vindicated. My partner finally saw her for what she was. The torment of watching her abuse, control, and manipulate him was nearly over. I felt relieved, but I also felt superior.

I came across two of my friends sitting in the grass, midway through doing a tarot reading, complete with burning sage. Anna told me that I came along at that moment because those cards were also meant for me. I listened and then I had a turn. I was uncomfortable. I felt awkward trying to connect with it all. But I heard something that I had needed to hear.

In my own words, the message was, “I am a well. You are nothing but a broken teacup.” The cards and Anna told me that I am a vessel. I am able to be filled up with all of these emotions and ideas and responsibilities, all of these connections, to hold them close and keep them safe. It turned me inward. It calmed me. It reassured me. And it reignited my interest in tarot.

Today, my friend Tashira gifted me a deck of Paulina Tarot cards. I was talking about wanting some, but I’ve been reluctant to break that quirky little tradition that the cards should be either gifted or stolen. I wouldn’t want to steal something that’s meant to have magic in it, I thought, and it would be nice to wish for the cards and have them come into my life generously. And here they are.

I went through each card, studied it, and read its description in the Golden Thread Database as I sorted the deck. The major arcana by number, the minor arcana - Wands, Cups, Swords, Pentacles - progressing through suits like playing cards. They’re not exactly my style, but there are elements that appeal to me. There are many similar visuals to the old Rider Waite Smith deck I had when I was younger, which means I’m able to piece some of the messaging together, even as a clueless novice.

My intention is to use this as a bit of a digital grimoire. The idea of a spellbook and journal appeals to me, but I’m too much of a perfectionist to use it in a genuine way. This will allow for more curation and more visual records.

Here goes.
