Hi Bree, I Just Listened To Your Hex Positive Episode On Warding The Home And There's A Part In There

Help me. I made more. How did this AU come about again? I basically spent way too much time being interested in all things mythological when I was younger so it was inevitable that this happened I guess?

I’m tagging everyone that was involved in the other post as well @vikingstrash @quantumlocked310 @ritual-unions-gotme @deans-ch-ch-cherrypie @kataphine and the person that gave me the idea to begin with @ofmanderley 😊

Merman Ragnar. The idea of Lagertha catching him in a net still cracks me up.

Valkyrie Lagertha. Given her fighting nature, this was the only choice.

Witch/Siren Aslaugh. Like @quantumlocked310 I couldn’t decide which of these two she should be, but both options work for me.

Dryad Floki. A tree spirit! It makes total sense!

Minotaur Rollo. I don’t why, but it works for me.

Phoenix Siggy. Because she comes back stronger every single time. Apart from that one time that will not be mentioned.

Werebear Bjorn. He got attacked by a bear in the show so it’s basically canon.

Siren Sigurd (which has been written into existence quite excellently by @vikingstrash ❤️)

Warding your eyes

This post is for my folks who currently use glasses, contacts, or other visual aid's!

What is Warding with your eyes?

This is a concept similar to taking on a witches name, however it has to do with your visual aids! They say that eye's are the windows to the soul, but what about people or entities or energies that are looking to disrupt our peace? Well this is a great ward to follow as a personal ward

I recently had this revelation when my glasses shattered in the sea after I slipped under the riptide and as I was grabbing my glasses under the water, a shell came and smashed them (I am ok, I am trained to handle that and am a strong swimmer). I ended up going to one of those minute labs to get new frames and lenses, but I realized something.

If eyes are a part of you that exposes a lot about your being, whether you believe in iridology, window theory, etc then why wouldn't you ward a possible weakness? Witches names are a name a witch takes on to act like a deflector, if someone hexes them using the wrong name then it doesn't touch down, so the idea of this spell is If someone attempts to harm you spiritually, you are now wearing 'different eye's' and can reflect the spell. All it takes is a bit of enchantment. We will be banking on the fact that glasses somewhat obstruct the eye (when you look at someone's eyes through glasses they can appear different, bigger, or smaller) but you can see them clearly.

The Spell

This spell is best done on a new moon, high tide, or on a Wednesday! all of these have correspondences of protection, deflection, etc. ingredients: - Glasses/eye aid - Cleaning solution - Cleaning cloth (If being done with contacts or other eye aids, adapt this to be the aids, whatever you use to clean them with, and IF NEEDED a drying apparatus) The Steps: 1. Set up your space how you choose to do so, set your aid down in front of you. Meditate over or reflect on what the glasses mean to you 2. Envision or create a chant that reflects the eye-dea (haha) of people/spirits/energies with bad intentions not being able to effect you, because they cant see the right person to harm because of the visual aid 3. Take your finger and stamp a sigil of warding either on the lens, contact case, or safe spot on the aid 4. Clean it off to 'rub it into' the device 5. Finish the spell how you choose to finish, and transition out of the ritual space I hope you all enjoyed! More content coming soon!

protection pennies 

I have been using protection pennies in my space warding for years now, and I find them to be a really useful aspect to my home wards. They are very simple and one dimensional, so they work best layered with other warding or protection practises. However, I do find them to be useful as a physical representation of protection.

ingredients: 

shiny and clean pennies, one for each threshold that you wish to protect

salt, you can also use green or black salt

conker shells, or something else that is symbolic of protection

a black permanent marker 

warding & protection sigils 

method:

Take your pennies and wipe them over so that the surface is clean. Then, use your black marker to draw warding and protection sigils on the tail side of them. 

Once the ink has dried on these, place them in or on something that you associate with a protective home. I used halves of a spiky conker shell, which there are lots of during this time of year. You could also use snail shells or sea shells, just make sure you are obtaining these ethically. 

Cover your pennies with salt, you can make black salt for this step. This is where conker shells come in handy as they act as little bowls for the salt and the pennies. 

Leave to charge for a little while, preferably under a dark or waning moon. Once they are charged, place the pennies above doorways, entrances and windows in your home. Ensure that your space is already cleansed before you place them.

Recharge periodically, either under the moon, with salt or with quartz crystals.

🌑 New Moon Ritual 🌑

Hello Loves! 

I’m posting this a little late but thought I would show you what I did for the New Moon.

The New Moon is all about new beginnings, cleansing, setting and reassessing intentions, goals and manifesting your desires. It’s a time to rid of things that no longer aid you and welcome the things that do, and putting those aids in to practice. It’s also a wonderful time to start new projects.

The Ritual:

I started the day by cleaning my room, sweeping out the negativity, cleaning my altar, cleansing with sage and burning lavender incense for inner peace and tranquility.

After I cleansed my surroundings I started to cleanse myself. Starting with light stretching to awaken the body from slumber and guided meditation for opening the mind and soul. I then went for a water cleanse and swam leisurely in the pool (the ocean would’ve been ideal but a simple shower or bath works great too), it’s important to admire and thank your surroundings, find beauty in it all. I love to thank Gaia for all she gives us. After the pool, I did a sort of second water cleanse in the shower. Simply imagining negativity seeping out of my body and down the drain and fresh positivity and ambition seeping in.

Once I cleansed my self, I let the sun set and at moon rise I began my spell work and manifesting. Here’s what I did and what you can do:

🌑 I started by writing down all things that no longer aid me and the negativity I wanted out of my life.

🌑 I then proceeded to burn it (safely, please be cautious with fire!) where the New Moon could see and wash it away. As it burned I visualized the negativity and unhelpful habits leave my body and fly away.

🌑 Next, I wrote down all the things I wanted to invite, keep and manifest in to my life. 

🌑 I then carefully rolled the piece of paper up into a little scroll and tied it with some blessed twine/rope, I added some pieces of Rosemary, Baby’s Breath and a lavender coloured flower for knowledge and intuition. 

🌑 Once I had created my scroll I meditated with it and some crystals, holding it in my hand and infusing it with power.

If you make this cute little intentions scroll I recommend keeping it somewhere visible, so you can always look upon it when you feel you’re going astray.

I ended the night by thanking the Moon and Gaia and proceeded to journal and get a good nights rest!

I hope this gives you some inspiration for the New Moon and setting intentions.

A gentle reminder is, whilst Moon phases are strong times to do certain things there is no right or wrong time to set intentions, break bad habits and manifest your dreams! You don’t need to wait for the next Moon phase, and if you feel now is or isn’t the time then trust what your intuition is telling you! 

Blessed Be!
