Got Called A “phone Hoarder” Meaning I Save So Much Stuff On My Phone It Can’t Handle It. I Was

Rain or storm spell for drought, dry spells, and/or excessive heat.

items:

- storm (or rain) water

- freshwater shell (I used an apple snail shell, but a something like a mussel or other shell would work. if you don't have one sub with a saltwater/estuarine shell and see how it goes!)

- Any charm that you can hang, preferably one that invokes imagery/symbolism of water or rain

- 2 more shells (salt or fresh. I used ones with open faces)

- silver bell

- sea glass (blues and greens)

- salt (epsom or sea salt preferred)

- large/medium feather of a water fowl (grey or white preferred)

- clear quartz (optional)

- offering dish (optional, really for presentation and clean up)

prep:

1. Set up the freshwater shell on the offering dish (or table) and keep it stable with a ring of sea glass (optional: single clear quartz or clear sea glass at front).

2. Place the charm in the shell with rope/thread/ribbon draping towards you.

3. Place the silver bell at the "north" of the dish (imagine the dish as a compass) and place your other two shells on either side of it.

4. Put the feather in front of you with the quill end nearest to your dominant hand.

5. Have the salt in a small container you can pinch into.

ritual:

1. Breathe deeply 3 times with eyes closed to center yourself. You can also create a circle or do any other grounding exercises at this time.

2. Make a circle around the inner rim of the offering dish (or table) with the salt and get this meaning across with words: "salt, mineral of the oceans, protector and cleanser"

3. Pick up the feather and stir the energies to the metaphorical north (treat the offering dish like a compass). I did this with my eyes closed as it lessens distractions. You will repeat this action for each cardinal direction and get this meaning across in order:

"I beckon rain from the North, to soak the rich earth"

"I beckon rain from the East, aided by its winds for a swift arrival"

"I beckon rain from the South, as the heat of is your creator, and it is the heat you will abate"

"I beckon rain from the West, as all waters merge and must complete their cycle"

I find it important to use "will" rather than might/should as to bolster the confidence behind your intentions. Feel free to alter and add to this wording as much as you like for it is already loose and use this time to invoke any specific deities or spirits as I did not.

4. Place the feather down gently, breathe, and say "after I have rung this bell 3 times, whenever I hang this charm where the sky can see, it will intice rain for as long as it hangs" (be thoughtful of wording and your intentions here, loopholes are very easy to accidentally create, so set clear parameters that aren't too outrageous)

5. Ring the bell with steady motions. It's important that you get 3 clear rings, so if you try to ring it once but the sound isn't great, try until you have 3 satisfactory chimes.

6. Once you have placed the bell back down, close your circle or breathe to realign any energies.

And that's about it! I tried this today and we got a good spell of rain (with thunder and everything!) even though there was no predictions for it this whole week. I'm hesitant to do a spell for storms as I live in a hurricane-prone region and it's that time of year, but feel free to replace "rain" with "storm" or whatever wording feels specific to what you desire. I kept the wordings here intentionally vague/loose because it's important to use words that you mean something to you.

Let me know if you try this and get anything out of it, or how you changed it! It's the first spell I've posted here so I'm interested to know.

Dove Blood Ink 🩸

Uses

Dove’s blood ink is traditionally used for any type of love, blessing, friendship, reconciliation, desire, and loyalty working/spell. This ink can be used to record spells, write petitions, create sigils, etc. Blood inks (dragon blood, dove blood, bat blood) got their names because of their dark red pigment due to the type of resin used, Dracaena Cinnabari, which causes the inks to look similar to blood.

ingredients

isopropyl 99.9% alcohol

Dracaena Cinnabari resin (medieval DB resin)

a pinch of rose petal

tsp of cinnamon/cinnamon chips

1 bay leaf

a pinch of calamus root (optional)

How to make

In a glass, air tight container, add your botanicals, and then pour isopropyl alcohol over the botanicals, stir, and seal lid tightly. Store vial in a cool, dark place for at least 24 hours.

After allowing the isopropyl to infuse with your botanicals, strain the botanicals from the isopropyl so that your alcohol is now in a separate air tight glass vial (this vial will be the one you store your ink in!)

In a mortar and pestle (preferably a separate one dedicated solely to ink making), crush DB resin into small pieces and/or powder. Make sure this is real Dracaena Cinnabari resin, as this is the only DB resin that dissolves in alcohol.

Add your now crushed resin to your isopropyl that has been strained into your ink vial, and stir. Allow your resin to dissolve for at least 3 hours minimum before using ink. If you would like to strain excess pieces of non-dissolved resin from your ink, you may do so, but I prefer to keep them in the mixture. Depending on preferred consistency, you may need to add more resin and/or isopropyl. Shake/stir before each use.

⚠️ WARNING ⚠️

Do not make this ink near/on an open flame, or near ANY heat source. Isopropyl is highly flammable. Please wear gloves and a mask when making your inks to protect yourself from fumes. Do not use rubbing alcohol as a substitute for isopropyl!!! Your alcohol must be 99.9%; any water added to your ink will ruin and harden it because water hardens resin! Any utensils/bowls/vials etc used for ink making should be dedicated purely to ink making. Please do not eat out of or use your utensils for other things that you may ingest.

warding for baby witches!

in the “coven” i’m in a lot of people found this helpful so i thought i’d post here!! naturally there are likely other methods, but these are what i’ve come in contact with the most. so in my experience there are 2 ways to create a ward: creating an astral safe space & manipulating energy to act as a shield.

1. creating an astral safe space is exactly what it sounds like. it’s your own space, where you can always access. you’re not actually astral traveling anywhere, because your safe space is essentially a part of you — it’s like your home, but astrally. ( it is possible to explore your own astral space, change it, or continue to develop it. ) naturally, this will require the ability to astral project.

an example: my astral safe space has multiple layers. the most general or “least safe” is the setting, which is a familiar forest modeled after a real forest i would spend a lot of time as a kid. i feel safe there. if i don’t feel safe in that space, i go to my next layer, and my most secure (excluding my deity & her spaces): my truck. i imagine myself in my truck, slamming the doors shut, rolling up the windows, locking the doors. nothing can get me there.

2. manipulating energy to act as a shield is more self explanatory. you take your energy and imagine it spreading across your whole body as to cover you. then you simply spread it outwards, until it’s like a bubble or dome, and then you solidify it. this method is easier but less reliable, as sometimes someone will simply make a lot of poor shields rather than one or two strong ones.

bonus: astral warding

astral warding & protection can manifest in many ways. the manipulated energy is always assumed to be there and is not visible. however, wardings can manifest as a part of your astral form.

example: after i met gaia and she gave me her protection, my astral body became surrounded by thick, thorny vines.

happy warding witches!!!

War Water

What is it?

War Water is a particularly powerful bit of magic stemming from American witchcraft traditions in the South. Contrary to popular belief, war water is not rooted in Hoodoo but in European-influenced folk magic practices. Due to this, debates about which is the most “authentic” recipe for war water are unproductive. Folk magic practices in the early parts of white American history were not well documented and the specifics of these practices were likely kept within close-knit family circles. The result is that spells such as this one have always had quite a bit of variation. This lack of homogenization leaves us with many traditional recipes for spells such as war water and most of them do contain the grain of authenticity that many modern witches crave in their practice.

Tools and Ingredients

2 large glass jars, preferably with glass lids and rubber gaskets.

Distilled white vinegar

Salt, roughly 1/2 of a cup

A railroad spike or iron nails

A carbon steel hunting knife, stripped of its furniture (handles, etc)

Water

Process

Charge each item individually with intent.

Place the iron in one jar. Fill it with water and set it to the side. If the iron already shows signs of rusting that can speed up the process.

Heat the vinegar to just about boiling. Add salt and dissolve.

Stir it clockwise with the knife.

It helps to let this breathe for at least the first 24-48 hours, and then to give them a day or two of air every now and then after. When rust starts to form and tinge the water, give the jars careful swirls just to keep the rust suspended in the water and new oxide layers forming constantly.

Eventually, your railroad spike water will turn muddy looking and the knife-vinegar solution will turn almost black and you will see little flakes of metal swimming around in there if you look closely.

After a year or so you will have some pretty good product and then you can combine the two liquids, refill the jars, and start another batch.

Now, to finish it off, you can add any number of ingredients to augment its power. Black and red pepper, mustard or poppy seeds, devil's snuff, or gunpowder are some examples. The best thing, however, is your own urine.

Tips, Tricks, and Uses

You want to make sure to have a glass lid on this one or to change lids often because this stuff WILL eat through a regular Mason jar lid in no time War Water is often used to place a curse. War Water is a traditional and allegedly potent weapon during psychic warfare and witch wars. It can be used to reverse a curse and send it back to where it came from. War Water is not intended for consumption, rusted nails should be handled with care. These are simple standard recipes, they can be personalized and adapted as necessary to give the water more kick. Should mold or bacteria ever form, discard everything, including the jar, and start again from scratch.

— Quick Card Spread

Past Wounds Spread

A: The thing that still hurts you

B: Advice

Step by Step

shuffle and draw as you usually do

the first card is about your wound. it's something that still hurts you to this day, either consciously or subconsciously. it can have a great impact on your current life or a smaller one, however, aspects of this still linger and influence you.

the second card is a suggestion. something that may help you work through it or slowly come to terms with it. it can be a piece of advice or a thought to remind yourself of, a message about it, or a piece of general advice on how to deal with the influence of this old wound.

personally, I tend to go by suit. with a cup card, my old wound would be related to emotions or relationships, with a sword card, it may have been an argument, my thoughts, someone else's thoughts/opinions, criticism, or problems that left a mark on me.

Example Reading

A: Four of Pentacles

B: Star

Depending on how you usually read the cards, this can have multiple interpretations (read: more than just these two I wrote out here)

Possibility 1)

The way I personally read, I'd say this is about someone who had to be very careful with money in the past, someone who had very little and needed to hold onto their resources tightly all the time. It may prompt them to stick with this behavior, even if their situation might have changed by now. To me, the star signals letting go of this, trusting a bit more that times changed and that they don't need to hold on so tightly anymore, that they can give themselves a nice little thing once in a while.

Possibility 2)

Another way would be to say that the first card is about someone clingy, someone who is afraid to give room to people or things because they might leave then. someone who is afraid to lose something

and with the star there, the message wouldn't change much from the previous one, but perhaps, the focus would be more on "trust it will be alright" because the star is always a positive omen and a signal that hope and faith are needed to overcome something.

Developing Your Super Senses 🔮

In particular Clairvoyance…

There are many different types of super senses and you can train yourself to learn most of them. Clairvoyance is also known as ‘Clear Vision or second sight’ which is seeing or knowing things before they happen based on what your clairvoyance has shown you, being able to read peoples present situations or their past events through these visions.

Signs you are Clairvoyant:

You have vivid dreams/ dreams that come true, or often lucid dream

You have a vivid imagination

You can visualize or daydream easily

You see flashes of twinkling lights, colours, symbols, shadows or images

You had imaginary friends as a child

You can see glowing light around people (aura)

Other types of super senses you may have (that I will not go into great detail on this post with) are:

Clairaudience: clear audio/hearing

Clairsentience: clear sensation/feeling

Clairscent: clear smelling

Clairtangency: clear touching

Clairgustance: clear tasting

Channel/Channeling: Being a mechanism or channeling from the etherial world.

Activities/ways to strengthen your Clairvoyance and supersenses:

KEEP A DREAM JOURNAL: If you are having vivid dreams you should be keeping a dream journal to learn how to lucid dream, which can later help in astral projection, dream journals also assist with clairvoyance because it is a part of remembering and strengthening your visual imaging, the most important part of developing clairvoyance.

CRYSTALS: Some crystals can aid in enhancing and developing clairvoyance. Third eye crystals are better at helping with this as your psychic vision comes from the third eye chakra. Great crystals for developing clairvoyance are: Magnesite, Labradorite, Lolite, Dumortierite, Lapis Luzuli, Azurite, Malachite, Amethyst. You can place any of these crystals under your pillow when you sleep, carry them with you throughout the day and meditate with them.

MEDITATION: meditation can help with almost anything, and is especially good for developing clairvoyance. You can meditate with your third eye chakra crystals to help open your third eye. You can meditate on focusing to become more clairvoyant, asking your spirit guides to aid you with this, you can also meditate focusing on your third eye, visualizing your 'eye’ develop. There are many meditation activities you can learn to help with developing clairvoyance.

VISUAL JOURNEY’S: developing your visualisation skills will be a huge advantage in becoming more clairvoyant, visual journeys are a great way to do it! You can find visual journey tapes and recordings online, YouTube has a good variety, just try some different ones out until you find one that you like and practice on it. A visual journey is a guided walkthrough meditation that lets you 'be in’ a different environment, almost like a dream.

DIVINATION: practicing divination through the use of tarot cards, oracle cards, scrying, lithomacy, dowsing and sensing can aid in developing clairvoyance. Using these methods of divination help you focus your clairvoyance on matters which may be occurring at a distance, or back and forth in time. You can start off by choosing 1 oracle or tarot card per day and try to interpret its meaning before looking up its meaning in the tarot or oracle book, you may be surprised at how close you can match the meaning after a while. Learning divination takes patience and some forms of divination will be easier for you to pick up, not every form of divination will come easily to you, just do whatever you feel comfortable with.

INTERPRETING YOUR DREAMS: Along with your dream journal try and interprate your dreams meaning when you wake up, at the end of the day or the week look back at your dreams and see if any of your interpretations matched real life events.

REGULAR PLAYING CARDS: you can practise your intuition with regular cards, by keeping the shuffled deck face down, and not looking at the face of the cards, trying to visualise or guess if it is black or red, and putting them in two separate coloured piles, once you have gone through all the cards look at the two piles you have created, you will be surprised at how many of them you got right, and you will get better at it with practice.

I hope this post helps you develop your super senses and helps you with your clairvoyance and intuition.

I will do a divination post whenever I can to help with tarot, oracle, lithomacy and scrying development, I will also do a post about spirit guides. Do what your comfortable with and go slow, these are skills that will last you a lifetime so do not rush them 🔮🌙🌌
