They are blooming now and I would love to do somethung with them.

speaking it into existence 🧘🏼‍♀️

Due to personal reasons I will be practicing witchcraft

“Good Vibes Only!” Cleansing Spray

☀️ 🍊 I made this with the thought for my fellow Solar Witches!  🍊 ☀️

You’ll need: 

Spray bottle

Cooking Pot

Sun Water : protection, healing, happiness, strength, comfort, warmth 

1 stick of cinnamon: protection, warmth 

Orange peels: Optimism, vitamin C 

Rosemary: protection, warmth

1 tbs of Salt: Protection, 

Here’s how you make Sun Water!

How to make:

Gather your ingredients and utensils

Pour your Sun Water into the cooking pot and turn on the stove

While the Sun Water is boiling, put all the ingredients in!

Let it boil and let the ingredients infuse into the water until you can smell the distinct smell of cinnamon and oranges 

Let it cool down before you pour the water into the spray bottle

Good luck! here’s a photo of mine:

Hello! Do you have any suggestions for a closeted witch on how to make sun water? The sun never hits my windows in the summer (it’s extremely sad, not gonna lie), but it does in the winter, and I can’t just leave a jar anywhere in the yard because my parents will see it and they will question me about it. They already think I’m weird and tend to be a bit... harsh about me being myself. And they’re both still working from home right now due to covid, so my room is basically my sanctuary.

I’m sorry about your situation! Here’s some ideas that I hope will help:💛

🌞If you have a crystal like clear quartz you can charge that in the sunlight and then put it in water. It’ll have the same effect but the crystal is easier to hide!

🌞Pretend like you left a water bottle outside on accident

🌞Go outside with the water. They won’t question you getting some fresh air and sunbathing while staying hydrated with a cup of water (hopefully)

🌞Make a citrus infused water or infuse water with other solar plants (chamomile, marigold, basil, etc) to replace the need for sunlight (I have like 281690 posts about solar plants)

🌞Make sun salts and dissolve them in water

Tips on Grimoire Organization

Please note that if you are using a hard bound notebook or journal, adding in additional pages will bulk up your book, like so: (these are the exact same journals, btw)

- Envelopes. Let’s say you’re doing a section on Tarot in your Grimoire, and you want to include a few Tarot spreads, but you don’t want to waste two or three pages. Glue an envelope onto one of your pages to make a “pocket” where you can store little cards or papers with the tarot spreads written on them.

- Pockets. Similar to the envelope idea. If you have a page, or section for example, on herbal teas, you can make a pocket out of a piece of paper to keep your current favorite tea recipes in.

- Dividers, Cover Pages and Ribbons. If you’re like me and you like to have “sections” in your grimoire, you can easily make dividers by gluing a sheet of paper in your book (to make it heavier to make the sections stand out more). You can go further by turning your divider into a cover page for that section. And if you don’t like the idea doing that, you can always glue a ribbon, or a string, to the spine of your book to act as a bookmark.

- Double pages. I always had a problem with “wasting” pages in my grimoire. For example, my page on consecrating and charging. These two concepts are very similar to me, and I didn’t want two page stating the same thing. So, what I did was write out all my information on charging on a separate sheet of paper, then glued the top of that page into my grimoire. This way I could flip up the page on charging (as if it were on a clipboard) and have my page on consecrating underneath.

- Extended pages. Similar to the one above. In my Crystal section of my Grimoire, I decided to write out a chart that let me search for crystals by intention. So I drew my chart on a long sheet of paper, then folded it over (side to side) so that it fit comfortably in my book, then I just glued one side down into the book.

- Brochures. In my Elements section, I had a ton of information I wanted to write down, but I didn’t want each element to have more than two pages. So I used a piece of computer paper and folded it into a brochure (or into thirds) and glued it into the book so that the flaps would open and give me double the space to write.

- Clear Tape. There are many times where i finished a page in my grimoire only to find out there was a section that I left out. A simply way to fix this was with clear tape. I would write my forgotten bit of into on a separate piece of paper and then use clear tape to tape one side of the paper to my page. This allows me to flip the paper back and forth without covering up anything that I had written.
