The Goddesses Holy Water

This is a little method my mentor passed down to me that I love. I like to do this to my bathwater before bathing, and to my moon water/storm water that i collect. 

You will need:

Water

Salt

   Place a finger in the water and stir counterclockwise. Visualize your energy shooting into the water and engulfing any negative energy and filling it with light. Say “I exorcise thee, Oh creature of water, of all negativity both seen and unseen, & bless thee in the name of the divine Goddess.”

   Place a finger in the salt and stir counterclockwise. Visualize your energy penetrating the salts and engulfing the negative dark energy, filling it with light. Say “I exorcise thee, Oh creature of salt, of all negativity both seen and unseen, & Bless thee in the name of the divine Goddess.”

   Drop three pinches of salt into the water, stir clockwise with your finger and say “I cleanse & Consecrate this water in the name of the divine Goddess, may this liquid now enhance and purify all that it touches, So mote it be.”

Grounding Stones Bowl

This may not look like much, but it’s actually one of the most helpful and incredible magickal things I have ever created, and I wanted to share it with all of you.

Essentially what the bowl of rocks does is sucks up negative energy and grounds you when you put your hands in the bowl. Basically, it’ll help you with anxiety, depression, anger, or any other negative emotion you might experience.

I’ve even had it completely calm a full blown panic attack.

Yeah, it’s that good.

Procuring the items to go in the bowl is easy. I just went to Walmart and got a glass bowl for like $3, and then 2 bags of decorative rocks for like $2. All in, this is about $5. And, you can always just go out and collect the stones yourself.

And, the spell is simple:

Cast your circle and call upon any spirits or dieties you normally work with.

Cleanse the rocks. I like to cleanse my items with all four elements, starting with incense and working my way around: candle, water, and then salt. I also like to say something to the effect of, “cleanse these (in this case) stones of all negativity and set them to the purpose of grounding energies and riding negativity.”

Create a sigil. I used a sigil that I actually created for another spell.

4. Charge and activate that shit and put it at the bottom of the bowl. This sigil I feel is the quintessential aspect of the entire spell. This sigil will act as basically a black hole for all negativity. It literally banishes and vanishes that energy.

5. Put your rocks in there. Hold the bowl in your hand and, while visualizing the stones sucking up negativity and making them vanish, solidify the bowls purpose by saying something like, “May this bowl of stones suck up and banish negative energies when anyone puts their fingers or hands in the bowl. So mote it be.”

And you’re done! Now, any time you feel like… Bleh- just shove your fingers in the bowl and allow it to suck up and banish that negativity from you. This can also be a great meditation tool as well.

Let me know your thoughts!!

September 29th, 2023 Super Harvest Moon!

On September 29th, there will be the 4th and final super moon of the year! It's the perfect time to take advantage of that energy!

Ways to utilize it

Journal- write down the things you need to release, and then (safely) burn them. I like to burn a candle at the same time, seal the ashes in a jar with the candle wax with rosemary and peppercorn and then throw it out to get rid of it.

You can also do the same thing with things you want to bring into your life, burn them, put the ashes in a jar with things that match your intent, seal with wax and then put it somewhere you'll be able to see it consistently.

Charging your Crystals

Visualization Meditation- full moons are routinely utilized for manifestation. Sitting in the moonlight and meditating on your intentions and setting your goals goes a long way!

And of course, don't forget to stock up on your moon water!

Another thing, I like to do a ritual bath for an extra boost!

What do you guys usually do on the full moon?

Signs you might be a witch

Have you ever thought you could be a witch but you weren’t sure? For some it’s hard to know when or if they should get started in magick and witchcraft, so here are a few signs that it might be time and that you might be a witch!

* please note anyone can be a witch! These are just some common things some witches experienced in their life before discovering they were a witch, but if you haven’t experienced any of these you could still definitely be one!

• anytime in your life, particularly your childhood you were always drawn to magick shops or crystal shops

• as a child you were always making potions, you would always go out and try to mix water with plants and all sorts of things

• you always looked for another way to heal people, whether it was a physical sickness or mental illness you always believed there was another way to help

• You never stopped believing in magick even when all your friends did

• you always felt a connection to the earth and the elements of it

• you are able to predict things or make things happen with your mind

• you have always been a spiritual person and liked or liked the concept of horoscopes, meditation, tarot cards etc.

Thanks happy enchanting 🖤🌙✨

How To: Make Ink from Flowers

This is by far the most abundant ink I have in my house is that of inks made from flowers. This is the easiest and fastest inks to be made and require the least amount of materials to produce brilliant and soft colors. The inks from flowers can be either stunning and dark, or a lighter and more pale like one would expect from watercolor. Flower inks don’t last as long as inks produced from berries or nuts, and being left in the sunlight will fade their colors faster, but since this ink is so fast and easy to make, it can always be in supply. The shelf life of this ink is about a month if kept in the dark, but this is dependent on the color itself.

Materials:

Glass containers (preferably mason jars or drinking cups)

A pestle or other wooden tool (to crush the flowers with)

Boiling water

Cheese cloth

Rubbing Alcohol or 100 Proof Vodka

Glass storage container

Optional: Gum Arabic

Steps:

First, gather the flower petals of choice for the color desired (note some flower ink isn’t the same color as the flower petals).

Take these petals and crush them into the glass container, stuffing as many as you can in 1/3rd of the container as possible. The more crushed the petals, the more color will come out.

Fill the container with just enough boiling water to barely cover the flower petals. Do not fill the container, as this will dull the ink.

Set this container aside to brew overnight (I actually leave mine in the window to brew for 24 hours).

Strain the flower petals from the liquid, pouring the colored ink into a clean glass storage container.

Add 1 part alcohol to the container and shake gently (do not shake hard enough to form bubbles).

Optional: You may add Gum Arabic to give the ink a thicker consistency.

A recommendations on flowers, I have found that roses and other soft petaled flowers make a stronger ink.

Smoke Cleansing

verb 

To purify people, objects, and/or places.

*note: some information included in this post is from personal experience*

~ What is Smoke Cleansing?

   Smoke Cleansing is the action of burning herbs to rid of negative energy or bring in good energy to a home, person, or object.

~ Why do You Smoke Cleanse?

   The most common reason people smoke cleanse is to banish negative energy and evil spirits. You can also smoke cleanse to bring in good energy and enhance psychic abilities.

~ Tools and Why They Are Used

   Abalone Shell: This shell is believed to be an element of water, which balances the other elements of fire, air, and earth, which is why it is usually used to collect the ash of the smudge stick or to just simply hold it.

   Feather: Traditionally used because birds represents the breath of life as well as a way of connecting with Mother Earth and the Heavens. Turkey feathers are the most commonly used.

   White Sage: Traditionally used to banish negative energy.

   Sweet Grass: Traditionally used to bring in good energy and to call to the ancestors.

   Yerba Santa: This herb is usually burned to enhance psychic abilities.

   Palo Santo: Can be burned to banish negative energy, and also instills a feeling of love.

   Lavender: Traditionally used to invite spirits.

   Cedar: Burned to promote a calm and comforting environment, and to purify and protect.

   Juniper: Burned to cleanse an area, promote clarity, increase focus, and center someone.

   Pine: Burned to cleanse and renew, and promotes strength. 

~ How To Smoke Cleanse Yourself and Others

   Have an invocation and all tools ready to go! Invocations vary depending on what smudge stick you are using. Personally, I like to use White Sage for when I’m smoke cleansing myself and others, but you can use any smudge stick you’d like.

   Stand with the burning smudge stick you’d wish to use and an Abalone shell or fireproof bowl layered with sand sitting on a surface arms-length from you. Move the smudge stick in a counter clockwise motion around you to banish negative energy. Start at the head, the neck, arms, torso, and so forth. Say the invocation you’d wish to use during this time. Example for banishing negative energy:

“Into this smoke, I release all energies that do not serve me, all negativity that                       surrounds me, and all fears that limit me. So mote it be.”

   If you are Smoke cleansing someone else, move the smudge stick in a counter clockwise motion around them, and use “you” instead of “me” and etc. in the invocation. 

~ How To Smoke Cleanse Your Home

   First things firsts, crack open at least one window in your home so the energy has a way of escaping or entering (depending on if you’re banishing energy or bringing in energy). Have all doors to rooms you’d wish to smoke cleanse open and ready to enter, including closets, garages, basements, and attics. You can also use invocations (optional, see tips). Light the smudge stick and have an Abalone shell or bowl with sand layering the bottom ready to hold the stick and ash. If you wish to use a feather, get that at this time as well. Start at your front door. Walk slowly, really let the smoke marinate in the areas you are focusing on. Outline doors, windows, and entrances with the smoke. 

Banishing Negative Energy

   Traditionally, White Sage is used for this. If you wish to rid of negative energy, walk counter-clockwise from your front door. This motion symbolizes banishment. Make sure to smoke cleanse the corners of your home, this is a common place negative energy will collect and/or linger. 

Bringing in Good Energy

   Traditionally, Sweet Grass is used for this. If you wish to bring in good energy, walk clockwise. This motion symbolizes such. 

Using a Feather

   Traditionally, people use a real turkey feather. When using a feather, make sure to wave the smoke in the direction that you wish to banish energy or bring it in. You don’t need to worry about clockwise or counter clockwise motions if using this method.

Not Using a Feather

   If you are ridding of negative energy, wave the smudge stick in a counter-clockwise motion. This motion symbolizes banishment. If you are bringing in good energy, wave it in a clockwise motion, this motion symbolizes such.

~ How to Smoke Cleanse Objects

   Usually, people like to smoke cleanse objects they will have on their altar, or any divination or sacred tools like athames, wands, crystals, crystal balls, etc. You can really smoke cleanse anything you’d like to! Just remember to cleanse the object first. Have an invocation ready to go (optional, see tips). Personally, I only banish negative energy from objects. I don’t bring in good energy, mainly because I believe the object is now at it’s balanced and true form after being rid of bad energy. You can definitely bring in good energy into objects if you prefer!

   For smaller, more handheld objects, pass the object through the smoke several times slowly. For bigger objects, move the smudge stick around the object several times slowly. While doing this, if you wish to use an invocation, you can. You can say it out loud or internally.

Tips

   Do NOT leave burning smudge sticks unattended. If you don’t have an Abalone shell to hold the smudge stick or the ash, use a fireproof bowl with some sand layering the bottom.

   When smoke cleansing your home, try not to take steps backwards. Some believe that if you do so, you’ll reverse the effects.

   Collect your ash! It can be used for spells for protection.

   Have an invocation (a saying, or chant) ready to go while smoke cleansing your home and objects. You can make your own or use others you find. You can say these internally or out loud. I personally made my own short and simple invocations, I’ll use them for example:

Banishment: 

          “Negative energy, I banish thee. You mustn’t stay, you must leave.”

Bringing in Energy:

“Positive energy, I invite thee. You’re welcomed in my home, belongings, and in                                                           me.”

  Different invocations will be used when burning different smudge sticks.
