I Truly Believe That The Trauma And Stress With My Ex Husband And His Stroke, Heart Attack, Then Two

This morning I spent some time with Ra, and I was able to switch on my clairaudient abilities. Using the Bee Tarot I used what is called Hive and Flower spread. Their version of the Celtic Cross Spread. It was an overall positive spread, and any negative stuff that was brought up I am already aware of and in the thick of things. Things will get better, I have done it before and I will do it again.

It was also brought up in the cards, I need to get back on the spiritual track as well. This was brought up by the Delphic Bee (Hierophant) and the Star. Which is true. I definitely have lost my zeal I used to have back in the day.

I'm also getting back in the habit of journaling again. It is helping me keep my mind off of too many things.

@autumnwitchesx i hope this helps you some!!!

I'm Going to Be Bold...

Read those problematic witchcraft books, read those Wiccan books that people don't agree with, read those books that people can't stand. Why? So you can read them for yourself! That way you can understand why people feel the way they feel about certain authors and books. And also, you can process how you feel about them. To also take that a step further, read the books everyone raves about. I have books that I like, and I have books that I got half way through, and I haven't touched since. And that includes books that some people truly like.

Another example of this action is when I went to church with Jehovah's Witnesses. Jehovah's Witnesses are not very well liked in my area. Their beliefs have made them banned in several countries, and folks in my area tend to avoid them as much as they can. But one day, I was invited to go to one of their meetings on Sunday. I kept my comments to myself, I followed along in one of their Bibles, and I even sat through like a for one for all study session where everyone participated. The topic was, "What Would Happen If We Get Banned". It was like 40 question booklet thing, that everyone took turns reading like we would do in grade school.I sat through over 2 hours of discomfort because my butt went numb, and I was bored, but for them this was a serious issue, and I tried to be respectful.

Why would I do that? Because didn't want to be another broken record in echo chamber. I wanted to see for myself why people feel the way they do, inside and outside of the congregation. And now I also have opinions of my own.

I'm heartless, exhausted, and ageless...

Congratulations, youre body has taken on a new form! Spin this wheel three times. These words describe your new body

Finding My Way Again and Healing in the Process

After doing some deep thinking and working with Ra and Anubis, I was able to find my own joy again. But also, with healing it helped me discover what it was that I needed. And what I needed is different from what it was before.

I have dabbled with death witchy stuff, sort of fell off the wagon. That was a period of time that was hard with my husband at the time having a stroke, and when i finally got back on my feet I lived between a nursing and the town cemetery. After that, I took a break, and then I became interested in weather magic. Weather magic is awesome, and living in Kansas it will always be a part of my curiosity.

But of course, throughout my journey Ra has always been with me, and with that comes being attracted to the Sun, watching sunrises and sunsets, the color yellow, etc.

I'm currently using a chonky three ring binder myself. I like to think of it as more of my working grimoire. I'm always updating my notes. I also have a nice leather one with blank pages, but I'll use that one when I'm content with my notes.

What does everybody use for a Grimoire? The tide and true leather book, classic 3 ring notebook, or something else?

Safe Travels Spell and Spell Jar

My boyfriend is not very familiar with spell work, and he asked if I could do a spell for safe travels. We were invited to a local hockey game and we were given free tickets. He seldom asks for spells for himself mostly for other people. But I figured with the planetary alignment and it's heavy concentration of a lot of different energies at once, so perhaps a spell wouldn't hurt.

Spell:

Ra and his yellow candle for guidance and blessings

Dragon's Blood incense for protection

White candle for purifying and cleansing us and our space

Black candle for protection and ridding of negativity

Amber perfume for protection and soothing of nerves

I essentially asked Ra for guidance and protection during our travels. May the journey be smooth and calm, and if we meet any obstacles may they be small and manageable. May we handle these energies with calm and clear minds and understanding.

Spell Jar:

Salt for grounding and cleansing

Lavender for calm thoughts

Rosemary for gentle protection

Bay Leaf to ward of negativity

I asked Ra to bless this spell jar because it's going to be going on the car with us tomorrow.

Also, I had some witchy ambience music in the background because I prefer some noise to help me focus.

Good evening! I hope you are doing well! I'm just sort of stumped, and I was wondering if you had any suggestions for spell ingredients for safe travels?

Hey! Mercury is a good planet to call upon as well as saturn: mercury rules travel and saturn rules protection and safety. I have made spell jars in the past that I kept in my vehicle or on me when i was traveling. I’m thinking maybe make a spell jar and fill it with some mercurial herbs and a piece of hematite or some other dark stone if it’ll fit in there, seal with black wax or ribbon or string or whatever and do the aforementioned. simple but effective ! best of luck my friend.
