To Create A Personal Worry Stone Or Relieve Tension

To Create a Personal Worry Stone or Relieve Tension

You will need:

A dark, round stone from a garden, park, seashore, or river bank, small enough to carry with you.

Eight smaller dark stones, forming a square around it.

A small dark-colored bag or purse.

Timing:

Monday evening, especially during the waning moon

The spell:

Hold the central stone between your palms and gently enclose it, saying softly, “Into this stone i put all fears, doubts, anxiety, [name specific causes of worry]. Take them from me that i may be free.”

Set the stone in the center of the square of stones and say, “Limited be, confined, no longer mine.” Put the worry stone in the bag or purse.

Take the smaller stones outside and leave them there.

Still outside, shake your fingers, pointing downward to the ground, and say, “Anything remaining, now is draining away.”

Take your worry stone with you to work or any potentially anxiety-provoking situation and wash it weekly.

Astrology Aspects That Make You OBSESSED With Someone😩😩😝😏

You didn’t fall… you spiraled

1. Pluto Conjunct Venus (Synastry)

They Become Your Religion

You want them bad. You need to be near them. Passion so intense it hurts.

🖤 “Even looking at them feels illegal.”

2. Moon Conjunct Pluto (Synastry)

Emotional Crack

You feel everything with them. The highs, the lows, the psychic downloads. Can’t explain it—but you’re locked in.

🌑 “They understand parts of me I’ve never said out loud.”

3. Mars Square Pluto (Synastry or Natal)

Toxic Fire

Can’t resist them. Can’t trust them. But the passion? Unmatched. You fight. You crave. You come back.

💣 “They’re bad for me… but I want more.”

4. Venus Square Neptune (Synastry or Natal)

Delusional Soulmate Vibes

You put them on a pedestal. You swear they’re the one—even when the red flags are glowing.

🌫️ “They didn’t even like me back. I made it all up.”

5. Lilith Conjunct Personal Planets (Synastry)

Taboo Temptation

It’s giving forbidden. The attraction is primal, dark, and can’t be tamed. They unlock your shadow self.

🩸 “Why do I feel possessed??”

6. 8th House Overlays (Synastry)

Psychic Bondage

They touch you = you’re hooked. Emotional entanglement, sexual obsession, and deep spiritual merging.

8. Mercury-Pluto Aspects (Synastry)

Mind Control

Their words haunt you. Conversations replay in your mind like audio hallucinations. You need to understand them.

🧠 “They said one sentence and I’ve been obsessed ever since.”

9. Neptune in the 5th or 7th House (Synastry)

Romantic Hallucination

You feel enchanted. Entranced. Like they were made for you. But were they… or was it just projection?

💭 “It felt like a dream I didn’t want to wake up from.”

10. Venus in Scorpio (Natal)

Intensely Attached

When they love—they cling. They don’t move on. They soul bond. And they’re not letting go…

🦂 “If I can’t have you, I’ll haunt your next relationship.”

Jewish Divination: An Introductory Discussion

"Who is wise? He who foresees the results of his deeds (Tamid 32a)." In one of my first blogs, "Can You Even Be A Jewish Witch?" I address many points brought up in the discussion of witchcraft and Halakha. In the months since I posted it, I have received hundreds of comments asking to further discuss divination and it

Water Houses - 4th, 8th, 12th House

The Fortresses of Cancer, Scorpio, & Pisces

In the 4th, 8th, and 12th Houses we are returned to the soothing balm of the Feminine Waters.

Water Houses are containers of ancient tonics that preserve the consciousness connecting us with spiritual perceptions. Equally paradisiacal as these realms can be terrifying, experiences in these houses usually involve some form of exile, cruelty at the hands of other’s, death and rebirth, and transformation.

These are the ‘otherworlds’ that are worlds within us. People with planets in Water Houses possess psychic and intuitive magic that comes easily to the surface. From here, the wellsprings of divine creativity and imagination provide the healing elixir of the Divine Feminine , Who Hillman stated that “We are contained within Her fantasy, not She within ours.”

✨My Pages On Casting Runes In My Book Of Shadows/grimoire✨

✨My pages on casting runes in my book of shadows/grimoire✨

Grimoire Ideas📖✨

since i’m starting to work on getting my own Grimoire better organized and figuring out what i think fits best in it for me, i feel like i should log some ideas that have helped me in my journey in hopes that it could help someone else just starting out. but just remember that your Grimoire is your own and personal to you and you alone so you don’t need to put everything in if it doesn’t vibe well with you or doesn’t fit into your craft. your book should hold things that are personal to you and your craft and what you believe and you don’t need to have every bit of knowledge in your book.

***correspondences =things such as 》elements, colors, symbolism, planets, astrology, anatomy, ect. really anything else important tied to something.

obviously you can pick and choose whatever works best for yourself and your craft, and i don’t even have some of these in my own book but still thought they would be helpful to include for witches like me who are just starting out who need ideas of what their books can hold! i’ll probably start posting more about my grimorire and how i keep it organized as well!

if you think i’ve missed anything feel free to add on more ideas to pass on to your fellow baby witches!

🌙 The Moon Phase You Were Born Under — And What It Says About Your Emotional Blueprint

We often speak of Sun signs as identity, of rising signs as masks, and Moon signs as emotions. But we rarely ask this question: What was the Moon doing when I was born? Was she just beginning to glow… or was she already starting to let go? The Moon phase at your birth isn’t just a backdrop, it’s an emotional rhythm, an imprint of your soul’s internal timing. It speaks of how you process feelings, how you grow through life’s tides, and what kind of light you carry, growing, full, fading, or new.

P.S. There’s a little poll waiting for you at the bottom! Should we explore the Moon phases through the zodiac signs next… or wander through the houses? You get to decide.

🌑 New Moon — The Seed

You were born in the hush before the story begins. When the sky is dark, and everything that could be is still curled inside silence. This is the phase of souls who begin where others end, who carry invisible blueprints in their chest and build futures from intuition alone. Your emotions come from a place before language, raw, instinctual, searching. You feel life deeply, but often quietly, like waves moving under frozen lakes. You may feel like no one truly sees you because you are still writing who you are. Still dreaming what you’re meant to become. You don’t need to follow a path. You are the path.

🌒 Waxing Crescent — The Spark

You came into the world when light was still fragile. Just a sliver. Just a whisper. And that’s how you move through emotion too, like someone protecting a candle in a storm, always hoping it will catch. There is a quiet bravery in your soul. A kind of soft persistence that keeps reaching, even when no one’s cheering. Your emotional life is shaped by longing, by almosts, by the ache of beginnings not yet named. You often wonder: Will it be enough? Will I be enough? And yet something in you always rises. Always grows. You believe in what hasn’t happened yet. And that belief makes you a lighthouse for others still finding their way.

🌓 First Quarter — The Clash

You were born into friction. The Moon in one direction, the Sun in another. A crossroads written into your bones. This is not a phase of ease, it’s a phase of pressure, of turning points, of inner battles that demand movement. Emotionally, you live with a constant inner tug-of-war. One part of you wants peace. The other part wants to break every pattern you've inherited. You feel things like storms breaking against glass, loud, urgent, necessary. You are not here to stay quiet. You are here to challenge the blueprint, to carve a new door where others saw a wall. You don’t just feel, you ignite.

🌔 Waxing Gibbous — The Refiner

You were born in the inhale before the full light. When everything is almost - almost complete, almost clear, almost ready. You carry that ache for alignment in your chest like a second heartbeat. Your emotions aren’t chaotic, but they are relentless. You feel the pull to improve, to shape, to polish every part of yourself and your world until it reflects what you know it could be. You may overthink, not because you doubt yourself, but because you care that deeply. You are a sculptor of inner truth, chiseling slowly, lovingly, toward wholeness. Your life is not about getting it perfect. It’s about honoring the process of becoming.

🌕 Full Moon — The Mirror

You arrived in the moment of full glow. All things exposed, all feelings magnified. You don’t carry a light, you are the light. And because of that, your emotions are rarely subtle. They are floods, revelations, reflections. You see yourself most clearly through others, but that mirror can be both gift and distortion. In life, you may struggle with projection, wondering which parts are truly you, and which are echoes of who others want you to be. Your emotional life is theatrical, intense, and wildly intuitive. You feel it all. And when you allow yourself to own that intensity instead of apologizing for it, you become the moon itself, pulling tides, revealing truths, and giving light in the dark.

🌖 Waning Gibbous — The Teacher

You were born after the peak. In the glow that lingers. This is the phase of reflection, of wisdom uncoiling itself from experience. You carry the soul of someone who’s already seen behind the curtain and now wants to help others understand what it all meant. Emotionally, you live in layers. You feel first, and then you translate. People may see you as calm, but inside you, entire stories are unfolding. You are often the one others turn to, because you make pain make sense. You don’t need loudness to lead, your truth ripples outward in quiet waves. Your life is a gathering of meanings. You feel like a book always being written, always one chapter ahead of those around you.

🌗 Last Quarter — The Releaser

You came into the world already letting go. This is the phase of endings, of clearing, of sharp truths and softer aftermaths. You carry a strange freedom in your chest, the kind that comes from burning bridges that no longer lead to you. Your emotional life is one of cycles. You love, you shed, you learn. Again and again. You don’t cling, you transform. In the world, this can make others uncomfortable. They want certainty. You offer clarity. And clarity often costs comfort. You are not here to keep things intact. You are here to break illusions so new roots can form. You are the truth after the storm. The ache that knows: even endings are beginnings.

🌘 Waning Crescent — The Dreamer

You were born in the hush before the Moon disappears. When light is thin, and dreams speak louder than words. You carry a softness the world has forgotten. A depth that doesn’t scream to be known, but waits quietly to be felt. Emotionally, you are porous. You feel what’s yours, and what isn’t, and everything in between. Your life may feel like a long remembering, of something you can’t quite name, but always carry. In real time, you may drift, retreat, dissolve, searching for silence not to escape, but to return to yourself. Others may call you distant. But really, you’re listening to a frequency most have tuned out. You are the final breath before rebirth. The lullaby between lifetimes. The poem that doesn’t need to end.

Study tips for herbalists

A lot of people ask me about how to start learning about herbs and which courses are good, so I decided to put this together for you guys!

Resources

Herbmentor.com

Here are a few useful herbs that are good to start out with

Check out my recommended books

Paul Bergner has excellent information and courses available here

The East West School of Planetary Herbology is a great place to take courses

The Lunar Apothecary is a great for leaning about herb magic and lunar herbology

This website will help you to find local plants (USA only)

Bear Medicine Herbals

Herbcraft.org

Herbal Remedies Advice

Tips

Check out local plant societies to see what activities they have planned. Some of them offer free plant walks that will help you to get to know your local plants

Start experimenting with your (safe) local weeds first. For many of you, this means sorrel, dandelion, plantain, violet leaf, and ground ivy.

Get your warnings and safety information from reputable books and herbalists, not social media (tumblr). There are many rumors on this site about what is and isn’t poisonous, please don’t believe everything you read!

Keep a few materia medica books on hand to check for contraindications and safety instead. My go-to books for checking whether an herb is okay with me are located in the recommended books post above

Pick 1 herb a month to really focus on. Keep in mind that you can do a lot with a few herbs, some of them have dozens of uses

Learn about your herbs by tasting and using them, not just reading! Personal experience is more important than book knowledge (except when it comes to safety)

Equipment

JARS (check the thrift store for cheap finds)

Alcohol - I usually use 80 proof vodka for tinctures but you can also use brandy depending on what you’re making

Oils- I like grapeseed oil and coconut oil

Funnels

Cheese cloth for straining herbs

Kitchen scale

French press (easy way to make loose leaf tea)

Idea of what to start making with herbs

Bruise/injury salves

Bug sprays

Calming tinctures/teas
