This is gold.

This website is filled with adult people too afraid to answer the phone, but who will boldly say things to other human people over the anonymous internet that would easily get their front teeth knocked out at any physical location. It’s wild.

Oh Hekate, from the infinite Above, Silence my mind and take me higher, Deeper, darker, Where the past is still and the future vibrates.

As the mind fuses with your every face, Let me open my many eyes. Let me see beyond and through.

As my arms become crossed and rigid, Let my fluid mind melt. Let colours speak to me.

I am yours. I am devoted. I am ready.

Let your vision engulf reality, And make dreams mingle with the living world.

Clarity befalls my mind. So mote it be.

catch-up is a stressful game: a further defense of astrological timing

I made this post called "in defense of astrological timing," which I recommend if I do say so myself.

This post is full of my personal opinions and beliefs. This post does not intend to represent universal beliefs. This is really just about what I do and how I practice. YMWV.

I would like to propose that timing your magic, such as waiting for a certain day or hour to perform an operation, is a solution to the intersection of two problems:

1. "When I need magic, I need it now - I have no time to wait."

2. "I am often low-spoons and I have difficulty raising energy or performing intense magic on demand."

The tl;dr is this: sometimes astrological timing seems to be approached backwards.

It is often approached as playing catch-up to your own situation. "I can't delay in casting a spell, I need the magic now." Which is indeed a very valid argument.

Approached from the opposite direction, astrological timing is not a burdensome correspondence to tack onto a spell. Rather, it is revealing opportune times for you to gather and store power throughout the year, so that the next time a situation comes up, you've already had a huge head start in taking care of the problem.

This also assists those of us with limited personal energy (as I've begun to consider I am not a "low-energy" witch but rather one who uses their energy in the stupidest least effective ways possible).

For example, suppose a vital part of your sorcery is burning a special incense before each spell. Yes, you can make a whole bunch of the incense at once.

And if you enchant the incense, that takes your power. You're transferring energy out of your personal bank account in order to store it within the incense.

Three months later when there is a vital spell to be cast, you're making a withdrawal from the incense bank and putting that additional energy towards your spell.

Actions like this reduce the amount of personal energy we need to spend during typical workings of magic.

Suppose a spell requires 50 units of energy in order to successfully manifest.

Well, if I've been slowly storing up energy in certain things (like special waters, incense, stones, and so on), I can use up some of that stored energy during a spell.

If I have 30 units of energy saved up within special objects, I only need to raise 20 further units of energy during that spell in order to make it manifest.

I can expend my own personal energy to complete the quota. Or, I can go looking for some free-flowing energy and try to channel it in order to complete the spell.

BUT

1. What if I have no energy units saved up in objects and I have to raise it all within that moment?

2. What if the free-flowing energies I need aren't present at that exact time?

If you believe in the impact of astrological timing, then you may believe that certain energies are more available during some times than other times. A specific energy may not just be around in great enough quantities for you to haul buckets of it to your spell.

It's relatively easy to spend our own power when external powers aren't available, even when we don't mean to.

This may lead to situations where the energy units I need to complete a spell just aren't around, either because I failed to store up energy when I had extra, or because I'm casting the spell at a very unfavorable time.

If I don't have 50 free personal energy units, this greatly increases the chances that my spell will just fail - like a car with a drained battery that just won't start.

You might be saying, "but I don't necessarily have a total of 30 units of free energy to just tuck into objects. I might have like, 2 or 3 units of spare energy a week, tops."

NOW WE'RE BACK TO ASTROLOGICAL TIMING!

If you are able to look ahead towards particularly well-appointed timings, you can prepare substances (such as incenses and oils), objects (such as amulets and spell vessels), tools (such as charging boards and wands), and other magical paraphernalia far ahead of time.

We know all the future appointments, right? It's just celestial maths :) You can use websites to look up special conjunctions years ahead of time.

This means that you have as much time as you need to prepare. No rushing about an hour before the ritual!

When you bring a prepared physical vessel into a ritual at an especially powerful astrological time, huge amounts of specific, wanted energies can be captured.

So remember earlier, when I was talking about enchanting incense using your own power? Well, suppose you never intentionally use your own power for anything: you always attempt to channel external energies.

But we come into the same loop: it can be easy to spend your own energy on accident, and if the external energies aren't very present you either end up with a weakly enchanted incense mix - or you burn a lot of your own power being the battery, or widening your search for the energy until you find it.

During especially well-appointed timings, though, that energy is very present and much easier to capture. You have to work less in order to capture large amounts.

You can look for appointments for healing, banishing, the virtues of various astrological signs, wealth, love, and more. By preparing some physical vessel to be enchanted by these substances, you are gathering and storing great amounts of power throughout the year.

And now, now we come full-circle: a response to the first two problems posed.

1. "When I need magic, I need it now - I have no time to wait."

If you are able to work ahead to capture and store various energies, you will not have to wait for anything - you have already capitalized upon opportune timings and have them crystalized inside of physical objects for you to use when you need them.

2. "I am often low-spoons and I have difficulty raising energy or performing intense magic on demand."

Because capturing energies when they are more readily available is much easier, you may find it to be much less draining to capture energies at opportune timings.

Then, when it becomes time to cast a spell in the moment, you will have a collection of strongly empowered objects that will fill up your spell with power on your behalf.

Your spells will still take some of your personal energy, just like any activity, but probably a lot less of it.

Transitioning to this may take a bit of work and can be awkward as hell.

I mean even if you're into it as a concept, it might not just be so easy to do, right?

If you're currently engaging in magical catch-up to ongoing or boiling-point situations, you might not have the time/energy/space to do a bunch of research on timings and then plan and prepare for a ritual, even one weeks or months away.

I don't mean to imply that it's easy or that everyone can just do it. I mean not all of us can carry around like 50 rocks or little pots of incense. Not all of us can rely on happening to have energy at some future date to perform a ritual at the exact time.

Moving into this modality of working ahead can also at times feel like stagnation: it can feel like planning and waiting instead of acting.

If you feel this might be something you're into, here are my suggestions:

Choose various "domains" of magic which are important to you: prosperity, love, defense, etc.

Slowly create or obtain vessels over time well-suited to capture energies from those domains, ideally using your hobbies if you can! A crochet bag or stuffie, a clay figurine, a painting, a song, any sort of physically creative hobby will do :) You can also modify candles, decorate charm bags, string beads, or even prepare thick cords to "tie up" available energies. I mean literally even a clear quartz with a bit of colored string tied on to identify it will do.

Start keeping an eye out for useful appointments. When one arrives upon you, see if you have the time/space/energy to perform a ritual to draw that energy into one of your vessels.

If you don't have the time/space/energy/interest (etc) in performing the ritual, ignore it and move on.

It is especially beneficial to empower small implements and ingredients you often use, so that your more common practices are less draining.

The following is pretty much UPG, unless I read it somewhere and forgot:

Initially imbuing a vessel with energy is best done on the most powerful appointment reasonably possible.

These vessels can be charged over and over again, capturing more and more power each time. Suppose the maximum energy you can capture in one empowerment ritual is 25 units. Well, you can perform the ritual again under the same auspicious timing to simply further power it, resulting in 50 units stored.

It is better to begin storing energy and do so at "minor" appointments over and over again than to put it off forever. Even if you wait for the most perfectest ever timing, you still may not have the ability, as a practitioner, to channel and store huge amounts of energy all at once. So waiting forever might be kinda pointless.

All vessels enchanted in this manner should be carefully stored so that the power doesn't leak out of them. They should not touch the earth, or else the power will go back into it. They can be wrapped carefully in black cloth and stored on a shelf. They should not be in the presence of salt, flour, iron, or other substances known to purify or break magical energies.

i am entitled to my desires. nothing can and nothing will separate me from them. everything is already done; the second i desire something is the same second i have it within the 4d and it gets reflected into my 3d just as instantly. my reality is always shifting to make me happy because that’s what it’s supposed to do. i was born to be content since i am the operant power. everything comes to me easily, i don’t have to lift a single finger. i’ve been manifesting for as long i can remember. i have always been a master at stepping into my desired state in little to no time. it’s so easy for me i even do it in my sleep. i never dwell or doubt myself because i know i am truly powerful and can change any circumstance in a matter of seconds. all i have to do is declare it as true and it becomes just that. isn’t it wonderful?

a spell that helps bring new friends into my life? i am rather isolated (physically) which means that i am also rather lonely. due to work and gas, i can't really go out and just meet people plus i tend to have a resting do-not-bother-me face despite how hard i try otherwise. i'd just like to make some friends, the world is hard enough as it is alone.

Create a poppet. Tutorials can be found easily online.

Create this poppet to be yourself. Think carefully about the kind of relationships you do want. What is your ideal form of friendship at this time in your life? Is it digital, physical? Someone who can travel to see you?

Create the poppet to be one particularly aligned to reception of relationships, friendships, and communication. Build it and let it rest.

While it is resting after its birth, slowly create charms for it. Create charms to attract what sort of relationships you desire. Make these charms as pieces of paper with writing, oven-bake clay, strange twig dollies, wishes braided into cord, or out of anything you desire.

Decorate your poppet with these charms as you make them. Do not add more than one or so a week; it is best to let the magic develop and mature. This helps avoid complications.

Each time you add a charm, feed the poppet. Also feed it at least once between adding charms. Perform a fair amount of divination on how the poppet feels about the charms. It will tell you if you are trying to attract something which is currently impossible or painful.

Other sorts of magics may resolve such blockages. For this spell, remove charms which the poppet advises against. Feed it twice a month. Give it a special reward whenever a new friend is obtained.

"Fun ways to manifest"

Here are some fun ways to manifest because thats what manifestation is supposed to be :) 🦋 Interview method: I love doing this! You have to pretend that you are being interviewed about your desire. Like if your desire is appearance change the interviewer is gonna ask you how you feel after manifesting your df and if you have tips for anyone else manifesting a df and stuff like that. 🦋 Pinterest method: You are gonna create a board on pinterest where you are gonna save pins related to your desire like for a df you can have a board named "mee" or "my pictures" or something like that. i used to do this and i also explained the pictures like if it was a picture of my df in the pool i'll be like yeah this pic is from when i went to the pool. 🦋Scripting You can script about your desire. now there are different ways like you could make it sound like a diary entry or a ff 🦋Vision board: You can make a vision board with all your desires on it and whenever you see it, it'll act as a reminder to affirm 🦋 Play pretend: You can play pretend like you can pretend your sp being right beside you while watching a movie. you can talk to them as if they are actually there. HAVE FUNN!! ~(￣▽￣)~

how to motivate yourself to restart your manifestation journey and really persist time after countless of tries over the years, where you always gave up and now feel a lack of energy to try once again? even though you still believe in the law and your heart still aches for your dream life. sorry if this is too dramatic, i'm going through it lol btw thanks for deciding to start this blog, i love your personality!

AYO ANON! [Sorry this is a bit long *sighs*]

First of all, take a good break. Listen to music to unwind or simply do things that make you feel good. You actually don't need a break in order to get back on track, but it feels like you actually need some time for yourself SO RELAX AND CHILL BESTIE. PRIORTIZE YOURSELF.

I can understand how you feel now. Even I had gone through the same phase of doubting myself and the law and getting super-frustrated because I THOUGHT that I wasn't able to manifest anything.

What you need to do is:

GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER. LIKE REALLY.

Its alright if you feel pressurized or stressed right now, or if you feel like crying your heart out. ACTUALLY, YOU SHOULD DO THAT. LET OUT YOUR EMOTIONS. IT IS A FACT THAT YOUR EMOTIONS CAN'T AFFECT OR CHANGE YOUR MANIFESTATION. SO take some time off from tumblr and stuff and recharge yourself.

IF YOU ASSUME YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING WRONG, THEN YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO MANIFEST.

ASSUMING = THINKING = MANIFESTING

STOP THINKING YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING WRONG. STOP THINKING NOTHING IS HAPPENING IN YOUR FAVOR. STOP THINKING YOU'RE NOT GETTING YOUR RESULTS.

STOP. THINKING. DUMB. SHIT.

LET GO OF YOUR OLD STORY. WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU WANNA THINK ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED IN THE PAST? WHO GIVES A FUCK ABOUT THE PAST? FORGET YOUR PAST. STOP GIVING IMPORTANCE TO YOUR PAST.

Your past = Old story.

OLD story. WHO THE HELL GIVES A FUCK ABOUT THE OLD STORY?

Bestie point number one, STOP THINKING ABOUT THE PAST.

Point number two : SELF-CONCEPT

WORK ON YOUR SELF-CONCEPT. I KNOW IT MIGHT BE A LITTLE DIFFICULT AT THE START, BUT TRUST ME THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING EVER. LIKE LITERALLY.

IT SEEMS LIKE THE PAST YOU WAS A LITTLE INSECURE AND DOUBTFUL. LET GO OF YOUR PAST SELF.

START THINKING:

I HAVE EVERYTHING I WANT BECAUSE I'M THE FUCKING GOD OF THIS WORLD.

I NEVER GET ANY INTRUSIVE THOUGHTS. I LITERALLY HAVE ZERO LIMITING BELIEFS.

I BELIEVE IN MYSELF BECAUSE I'M THE GOD OF MY REALITY.

LITERALLY NOTHING CAN STOP ME FROM GETTING WHAT I WANT.

THE ONLY LIMIT IS YOUR MIND. ONCE YOUR MINDSET IS SET ON WHAT YOU WANT, NOTHING CAN STOP YOU. FUCK THOSE LIMITING BELIEFS, YOU CREATE YOUR LIFE.

Point number three bestie: THE FUCKING 3D.

YOU KEEP ON CHECKING RESULTS. KEEP ON CHECKING FOR SIGNS THAT YOUR MANIFESTATION IS COMING.

Bestie-

WHY THE FUCK YOU WANNA DO THAT?

" Because I'm not sure that I'm actually manifesting-

CHANGE. YOUR. FUCKING. THOUGHTS.

THE 3D IS MY BITCH.

THE 3D ALWAYS CONFORMS INSTANTLY NO MATTER WHAT.

I CONTROL THE 3D BECAUSE I'M GOD BRUH.

WHY DO I ALWAYS MANIFEST INSTANTLY?

ETC. ETC. ETC.

YOU control the 3D. The 3D doesn't control YOU. REMEMBER YOU HAVE THE POWER.

Last thing.

PERSISTING = JUST THINKING POSITIVE LITERALLY.

PERSISTING IS AFFIRMING FIRMLY NO MATTER WHAT THE 3D SHOWS YOU.

KEEP ON REPEATING AND REPEATING AND REPEATING AND REPEATING.

PERSISTING IS LITERALLY THAT EASY.

BESTIE, YOU'RE GOD. YOU ALWAYS GET EVERYTHING YOU WANT. NOTHING SHOULD CHANGE YOUR THOUGHTS. NOTHING.

MAKE YOUR MIND STRONG. MAKE YOUR THOUGHTS IMPOSSIBLE TO CHANGE.

YOUR MANIFESTATION CANNOT FAIL. YOU MAY GET IT A LITTLE LATE OR A LITTLE EARLY THAN EXPECTED BUT IT CANNOT FAIL.

YOU'RE ALWAYS MANIFESTING = THINKING. YOU LITERALLY THOUGHT "I DIDN'T GET MY DESIRE" SO YOU DIDN'T GET IT.

CHANGE. YOUR. MINDSET.

BESTIE PLEASE STAY FIRM.

HOW BAD DO YOU WANT YOUR DESIRES FULFILLED?

THINK OF THAT AND MANIFEST.

I'M PROUD OF YOU THAT YOU STILL HAVE THE STRENGTH TO KEEP MANIFESTING. MOST PEOPLE JUST GIVE UP WHEN THEY ARE ABOUT TO GET THEIR DESIRES AND TOSS THE LAW ASIDE.

You can simply start thinking:

I don't judge myself for my mistakes. I never give up. I am going to succeed because I SAID SO BECAUSE I'M GOD.

I'M AMAZING. I'M HARDWORKING. I'M PERFECT.

I'M ALWAYS TRYING MY LEVEL BEST. THERE'S NO NEED FOR ME TO BE SO HARD ON MYSELF.

STOP WASTING YOUR TIME REGRETTING AND DOUBTING AND START MANIFESTING BESTIE. GET BACK ON TRACK.

IF YOU'RE TIRED, take REST but don't STOP.

YOU'VE FUCKING GOT THIS YOU BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF SHIT.

REMEMBER YOU'RE DOING NOTHING WRONG.

NOTHING CAN STOP YOU FROM GETTING WHAT YOU WANT BECAUSE YOU'RE A BOSS BITCH.

MANIFESTING IS EXTREMELY EASY FOR YOU AND YOU ALWAYS SUCCEED YOU POWERFUL MOTHERFUCKER.

YOU. CAN. DO. THIS.

GET YOUR FUCKING DREAM LIFE AND MAKE THOSE BITCHES JEALOUS.

GET YOUR DESIRES RIGHT NOW. [Hang on you've already got them *smirks*]

I LOVE YOU, YOU FUCKING DRAMATIC BITCH!

LETS GOOOOOOO!

Love, Moon.

Safeness in Self

Bathtub Spell

Purpose:

To attract the best version of yourself, and to center yourself in preparation for future blessings. 

Time: 

Anywhere between 45 minutes to 1 hour: depending on your preferred bathing time. 

Allergy Warnings:

This spell uses bay leaves, if you are allergic to any of the materials I encourage you to replace the materials with ones that represent the same meanings as the originals. Please do not place yourself in harm’s way to complete this spell the way I have it written, the Craft is different to each of us, and should be explored in accordance with our own magic and not the magic of another.

Materials:

2-3 Bay Leaves: representing protection, boosting, prophecy, purification, defense. In this spell representing seeing your future self, the self you desire to be currently.

Vanilla Scented Candle or Tea Light: representing healing, protection, harmony, unity. In this spell representing centering yourself to accept the changes ahead.

Fire/Flame: representing empowerment, enlightenment, comfort, rebirth, inspiration, illumination, hearth and heart, manifestation. In this spell representing finding your shadow self where it is now in the darkness, and bringing it back into the light.

Quartz: representing clarity, cleansing, healing, purification, and inner peace, enhancement, amplification. In this spell representing protecting yourself from negative energies around you that may be blocking your aura from reaching it’s full potential.

Bundle of Palo Santo/Sage: representing cleansing. In this spell being used to cleanse the energy of the water, as well as your own energy to prepare it to be reimbued with new purpose.

Set-Up Steps:

Run the bath to desired fullness and temperature. You should be able to at least submerge yourself mostly in the water, it is okay if you cannot fully submerge all parts of your body as most standard tub sizes are quite small.

Gather all your materials close to the bathtub with you, but do not yet get into the water. Once all your materials are gathered, disrobe before beginning the spell. 

This spell is incantation-based, and you will need to cast it with intentions in mind, as well as in order by incantation. 

Spell Steps:

Begin reciting the incantation all the way through without interruption, first in English, then again once more in Latin. Both versions are included below these steps.

When following the incantation the physical steps done in time with the recitation should be as follows”

- Crumple the bay leaves. Sprinkle them clockwise into the water of the bath. Do not stir it. If your drainage system is poor or if you are uncomfortable with bathing with the herbs later, feel free to simply place them in a sachet and stir the tub with the sachet before leaving it in the tub for the rest of the spell.

- Light the Palo Santo/Sage. Use the lit Palo Santo to first cleanse yourself. Everyone does cleansing a little differently in accordance with their practice, but if looking for inspiration: I cleanse by first running the lit bundle across my whole body and then drawing the sign of Lilith on my abdomen in smoke. Then proceed to cleanse the water by tracing the outline of the tub in a clockwise fashion as many times as feels best to you.

- Light the Vanilla Candle. Place the candle on the side of the tub where your head would rest, but do not enter the water yet.

- Pick up the Quartz and hold it in your dominant hand, place your closed fist over your heart, and begin stirring the tub clockwise with your non-dominant hand. Continue to stir the tub holding the quartz against yourself until you have fully finished reciting both the English and the Latin versions of the incantations.

- Once you have finished the reciting portion of the spell, step into and submerge yourself in the water, make sure to get every piece of your body covered even if not all at the same time. For example, splashing water up onto your arms and back, or laying down briefly to dip your head into the water. Leave the candle burning until it either burns down, or you are finished with your bath, in which case please gently snuff it out.

- When getting out of the bath, stand up, and before stepping out or beginning to drain the water, close out the spell.  You can do this in any way you please, so long as the meaning is the ending of your casting. Many people choose to say “amen”, “thank you”, or may also choose to praise a chosen god/goddess/spirit guide for closing a cast. I personally do not have a token deity in my practice, so I close my spells with the simple “So Mote it Be”.

Incantation:

English Version:

In water’s mirror, I am found.

Floating as leaves towards my true self.

The smoke and scent draw me in,

To clean and steady my soul against the winds.

There I am amongst the ashes,

Safe & Sound in crystal crevices.

Latin Version:

In speculo aquarum invenior.

Flocci versus mei vero.

Fumus et odor trahunt me,

Ut emundare et stabilive contra ventos animam meam.

Ibi sum inter cineres,

Incolumis in crystallis cavernis. 

Blessings be, & thank you for reading.

How I’ve Manifested Time Changing

The first thing that made me interested in manifesting time changes was a line from the blog “I Am Love” where she talks about revising her dogs age and meditating for an hour in a couple minutes.

The simple intention of “I intend for reality to prove to me that it is malleable and that time is an illusion”, is more than enough.

‎(⋆❛ ہ ❛⋆)⊃▂✫⌒*･ﾟ✲ my success stories

🕯⊹ : ̗̀➛ One morning I was listening to a meditation in bed while affirming that my intention was to prove that reality was malleable and time was an illusion.

I sat up after some time of listening, noticing that only 10 minutes on my clock had passed. Yet somehow the marker for my meditation said 15 minutes had passed!!

🕯⊹ : ̗̀➛ My bf and I were hanging out downtown but had left the house about an hour later than I’d initially wanted. So I decided I wanted to revise time to about an hour earlier around noon. I went about my day believing we’d have left the house around noon.

When we got home around six my boyfriend had mentioned how he was surprised we spent six hours out of the house. Which had proved to me I had successfully revised the time.

🕯⊹ : ̗̀➛ I made two hours happen in the span of an instant (or maybe that would be considered stopping time? lol).

The other day I woke up at 1:06 pm (regrettably) and decided I wanted to revise the time to 11 am about two hours prior. I wanted more sleep so I kinda turned over and repeated it was 11 am as I was tossing and turning until I passed out again.

I woke up again worried I’d slept too long and picked up my phone to check the time. Once again it read 1:06 pm. :)
