((WHERE CAN I FIND THIS LES MIS ANIME????? *CRYING*))

Animal Release Spell

You will need the following items for this spell:

Sandalwood incense

1 Brown candle

2 Black candle

1 White Candle

Picture of your lost pet

Quartz Crystal

White sage

Bowl of Water

Bowl of animal food

Set up your altar as you see fit, in the case of this rite, it should be mellow as for a proper funeral. When ready invoke the gods of your pantheon. In this case, gods of the afterworld and gods of animal protection. (Never invoke gods that are not of your faith nor gods you know nothing about) Light any candles you wish to use as illumination. Perform first prayers and gift your offerings and then the white sage. Take up the brown candle and hold it tight. Infuse the candle with images of the pet you lost. As you do say the following:

__(Pet name)__, I love you so much And I miss you so much Know that even though you are gone, You will always be in my heart. This candle I light is a part of you. As this candle burns slowly away, I set you free from the mortal world And yet, we will always be together

Rest a minute and when read light the two black candles and say the following:

My lord and Lady of the afterworld, may you make the journey of __(Pets Name)__ to the Isles of the Blessed swift and sure. I ask that the blessing of the Spirits of the Ancestors, of Time and of Place, and of the journey be blessed. I ask that the Blessing of the Spirits of North and South, East and West be with you. I ask that __(Pet name)__ be blessed with Fire and with Water, with Earth, with Air, with Soul, with Spirit and with Balance. I ask for the blessing of the Lord and Lady of the Animals and the Woods, the Mountains and the Streams. I ask that the Blessing of the Lord and Lady of the Wildwood may always be with you.

Take a minute and light the white candle and say the following:

By the beauty of the fields, the woods and the sea, by the splendor that is set up on all that is, we send you our own love and blessings, dear __(Pet Name)__. As the sun rises in the East and sets in the West, so too are each of us born and so too do each of us die. But as the sun returns anew each day, so too do we return to earth, refreshed and renewed.

Now take a moment and relax. Play some music for a minute. When ready say the following:

You’re free to go now, Little One. Rejoice and play the time has come For your spirit to be on its way. Have fun, be happy your love will stay!

Pick up the stone and say the following

So long as this stone is close to me, together we shall always be. And though I may gain another pet in time to come you can never be replace, you hold a special place in my heart. And when it is time for me to step on the shores of evermore, We will once again be together…for-ever-more.“ Seven days, Seven days the gods have allotted all spirits and souls, to travel the world and say goodbye to those we loved in life. I open my windows and open my door for these seven days that we may be together one last time, for one last kiss.

Let the brown and white candle burn out on its own. Blow out the black candles only afterwards speaking “With loves sweet kiss.” Never pinch out a candle, as it is dangerous and rude. Whatever is left of the wax place in a jar with the picture and a pinch left of the white sage. Burn it in the hole along with the bowl of food and water. (Use a old tin for the food and water.) Then bury them all and if possible with your pet.

Teas for Witches: the Basics

I can talk about tea literally all day (and I have because I’ve worked in a spice and tea shop for years), and there is SO much to talk about with both health and magical benefits. Teas are made from tea leaves called camellia sinensis, with the exception of herbal teas/infusions. For this, I’m going to list magical and health benefits by type of tea.

Black Tea

Feminine * Earth * Winter * Strength * Stability * Death * Expelling Negativity * Alertness * Energy

Black tea is the most fermented and oxidized of all teas. Its tea leaves look shriveled and black. It combats heart ailments, digestive problems, high cholesterol, asthma, and breast/menstrual problems. Black tea also has a lot of caffeine (47 mg, still less than coffee) and too much of it can cause acidity issues in the stomach.  

Examples: English/Irish Breakfast Tea, Assam, Darjeeling, Lapsung Souchang, Ceylon, Earl Grey

**There is a subset of black tea called Pu-erh, a post-fermented black tea. Some consider this to be the “purest” of all teas and connect it to the aether, as it is rare and valuable.

Green Tea

Masculine * Fire * Summer * Passion * Healing * Conscious Mind * Sexual Health * Love * Energy * Progress * Magic

Green tea is slightly steamed but not fermented, which maintains its green color. It has many health benefits, such as detoxifying, reducing cholesterol and weight, boosting immunity and stamina, and reducing blood glucose. It has less caffeine than black, but still some. 

Examples: Jasmine, Sencha, Matcha, Gyokurocha, Genmaicha, Hojicha, Gunpowder, Dragonwell

Oolong Tea

Feminine * Water * Autumn * Reflection * Meditation * Wisdom * Serenity * Concentration * Romance * Friendship

I always describe Oolong as being between Green and Blacks, since it is half fermented. It can help manage weight and stress, balance blog sugar levels, remove free radicals, and promote healthy skin and bones. HOWEVER, too much can actually speed up bone degradation because it sweeps away excess calcium. And beware of its high caffeine content (I used to drink Raspberry Wulong to pull all-nighters).

Examples: Milk Oolong, Formosa, Wulongs

White Tea

Masculine * Air * Spring * Happiness * Wisdom * Moon * Purification * Protection * Clarity * Cleansing * Beginnings

White tea is a little harder to find. Either the tea leaves are plucked as immature leaves and steamed, or the leaves have not been processed (there seems to be little consensus across cultures). Some have a small amount of caffeine. It’s a great antibacterial and antioxidant, and it improves the heart, oral health, and skin. Drinking a couple cups works better than one, and you can reuse the tea leaves, granted that the second cup will brew longer.

Examples: White teas come in many flavors and are usually labeled as white tea. You may need to seek out a tea shop to find some.

Herbal Tea

Magical properties depend on which herbs are used

This tea seems to be the most popular for witches on tumblr, because it is composed of dry, unprocessed herbs, seeds, fruits, or roots, and has no caffeine (as long as the herb doesn’t!). There are many recipes online as herbals are easy to make. In general, herbal tea promotes calm, reduces cholesterol and risk of heart conditions, cancers, and diabetes. Due to its lack of actual tea leaves it has less antioxidants than other teas. Some don’t even call it a tea, but dub it Herbal Infusion.

Examples: Rooibos, most Chais, Ginseng, Chamomile, Peppermint, Spearmint, Hibiscus

**Yerba Mate is an herbal tea that is notorious for its high caffeine levels (you’ve probably seen the energy drink). It also zaps one’s appetite and can become addictive, so be careful around this tea!

As always, feel free to add/message me of any corrections, and I hope you find your cup of tea!

Tips for Making Sigils

* Learn the arrangement of the Seven Planets (also called the Chaldean):   Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury, Moon.

* If you have a Android powered smart phone, download the Planetary Times app to help you become more familiar with the planetary times as well as what each planet represents.

* Try to create the sigil during the matching planetary hour to increase its magical properties and power.

* Decide which planet best matches your sigil intention.  Some examples for planetary associations and intentions are:

Saturn: Constrain or prevent someone from doing harm

Jupiter: Draw wealth and prosperity

Mars: Evoke strength and courage to face an intimidating situation

Sun: Improve health

Venus: Attract a lover, friendship, love

Mercury: Instill mental clarity and balance

Moon: Increase psychic ability

* Use a pen with the matching corresponding planetary colored ink:

Saturn: Black

Jupiter: Purple or Blue

Mars: Red

Sun: Gold

Venus: Green

Mercury: Grey (Pencil Color)

Moon: Silver

* Burn appropriate planetary incense while creating your sigil:

Saturn: Roots such as Costus or Mandrake (WARNING: Mandrake can be toxic)

Jupiter: Fruits and Spices such as Nutmeg, Cloves, Orange Peels

Mars: Woods such as Cypress, Balsam, Sulfur, Dragon’s Blood

Sun: Resinous Gums such as Mastic, Storax, Copal, or Amber

Venus: Flowers such as Roses or Saffron

Mercury: Rinds and Sweet Seeds such as Cinnamon or Cassia

Moon: Leaves such as Myrtle or Laurel

* Condense the intention/desire of your sigil into 1 or 2 words. *If creating a sigil to affect a particular person, write the person’s first and last name.

* Use the following conversion chart to match letters to numbers: 1:A, 2:B, 3:C, 4:D, 5:E, 6:F, 7:G, 8:H, 9:I, 10:J, 20:K, 30:L, 40:M, 50:N, 60:O, 70:P, 80:Q, 90:R 100:S, 200:T, 300:U, 400:V, 500:W, 600:X, 700:Y, 800:Z, 900:&

An example would be HEALTH>>> H=8, E=5, A=1, L=30, T= 200, H=8

* If you are using a number that is too high to fit into a designated square, divide the number by 10 or 100 until it can fit.

* Use the following planetary number squares to help create your sigil.

Sun:     4   9   2             3   5   7             8   1   6 Jupiter:      4   14   15   1                   9    7    6   12                   5   11   10   8                  16   2    3   13

Mars:      11   24   7   20   3                4   12   25   8  16                17   5   13  21   9                10   18  1  14  22                23   6   19   2  15 Sun:    6   32   3   34   35   1            7   11   27   28   8   30            19  14   16  15  23  24            18   20  22  21  17  13            25   29  10   9   26  12            36    5   33   4    2   31

Venus:       22   47   16   41   10   35   4                     5   23   48   17   42  11  29                  30    6     24   49   18  36  12                  13   31    7     25   43  19  37                  38   14   32    1     26   44  20

Mercury:    8   58   59   5   4   62   63   1                  49  15  14   52  53  11  10   56                  41  23  22   44  48  19  18   45                  32  34  38   29  25  35   39  38                  40  26  27   37  36  30   31  33                  17  47  46   20  21  43   42  24                   9   55  54   12  13  51  50  16                   64   2   3   61  60    6    7   57

Moon:      37  78  29  70  21  62  13  54   5                  6   38  79  30  71  22  63  14  46                 47  7   39  80  31  72  23  55  15                 16  48   8   40  81  32  64 24  56                 57  17  49   9   41  73  33  65  25                 26  58  18  50   1  42  74  34   66                 67  27  59   10  51  2  43  75  35                 36  68  19   60  11  52  3  44  76                 77  28  69   20  61 12  53  4   45 

* When making a sigil, you can use a light table or piece of white cardboard to help you see and trace the design.

* Begin the sigil by denoting you first letter by making a small circle on the top sheet of paper over the first letter’s corresponding number. * Use straight lines to connect each successive letter/number until you’ve spelled out the entire word.

* You can draw either angles or curves when you change directions during the process. 

* Signify repeating letters or numbers with a half circle.

* End each sigil with a small, anchoring square or transverse line on the last letter/number.

* You can add 2 sequential letters’ numbers together to obtain a third number.   Example:  In H E A L T H. A= 1 + L= 30 equals 31.  The same concept can        be applied to reduced numbers as well.  T= 200= 20 plus H= 8 equals 28.

* One your sigil is created, you can play around with this shape and position to heighten its power and symbolism.

* When you finally get a sigil looking the way you intended, you can close the sigil with 2 concentric circles to turn it into a magical seal.

9 Ways To Communicate About Relationship Problems…Without Making Things Worse.

One of the biggest pitfalls in any relationship is getting caught in the trap of needing to be right. Inevitably the two (or more) people in the relationship come across things they disagree on; stumbling blocks that put the relationship in jeopardy. If you don’t know how to communicate when you come across these blocks, or if you find yourself not understanding each other, you end up with a mess. You two might start resenting each other, or you might start arguing even more. And if you’re already struggling with disagreements, fighting more could be the final nail in the coffin. Avoid this weird, complicated process by taking care of yourself and your partner, and making sure you two are on the same page.

1. Utilize “I feel” Statements

If you speak from a place of personal experience, there’s less of a chance for someone’s defense mechanisms to come into play. Many times in arguments and disagreements it’s these defense mechanisms that cause the most harm. People get angry, sad, and they no longer think clearly. By making sure you’re talking about your experience and what you feel, you’ll……
