Rosewater Tutorial

To go along with the rose theme, I just had to whip up a batch of rose water and share how easy it is with you all~

So here we go! 

First we want to collect our rose petals of course. Do not use florist roses! They are covered in pesticides and other undesirables. Get some roses from your garden, or anyone’s garden who will let you take some (as long as they’re chemical free). A little goes a long way, so I’d gather about a cup of petals for starters.

Next we want to rinse them off, to clean them of any pollen or bugs, or who knows what. Clean those suckers off. 

Now put them in a saucepan and add the water. Generally, 2 cups of pure water to 1 cup of petals is a good rule of thumb. (I honestly didn’t even measure… I live life on the wild side.) 

Simmer until the soul of the petals leaves them and enters the water…! Basically the color and fragrance will transfer to the water. This will take about 20-30 minutes, but make sure you keep the burner on LOW. You do not want to boil these, it will ruin them. I kept mine between the 1 and 2 setting, but your stove may be different. Just get the water hot but not boiling.

Now strain and voila! You have some awesome rose water. Do some lovely magic with it. Create tinctures, ointments, jams, teas, or even a soothing magic bath. You can even cook with it. (Share some recipes with me if you have some!)

Rosewater keeps for about a week, refrigerated. You can also add a teaspoon of vodka to it to help preserve it for longer.

Low Spoon Ways to Celebrate Lammas/Lughnassadh

(Made, in part, for my own benefit on this very tired Lughnassadh)

🌽 Eat some carbs/bread, and leave the rest to your deity/beings of choice if you like.

🌽 Light just one candle, (gold, orange, white, yellow, red, or brown if you can) and just spend five minutes thinking about Lughnassadh and all the things you wish to harvest in the coming months.

🌽 Reconnecting with nature is always a good idea, if you have the spoons for it. See if you can take a walk outside, or maybe meditate with some plants.

🌽 Write down everything you hope to manifest in the coming months. Keep it in a safe place for Yule, where you can bring it out again and burn it to close this chapter on that part of your life.

🌽 Drink some mint tea to draw abundance. Leave some for your deity/beings of choice, if you like.

🌽 Write down all the things you’re grateful for, imbue the gratitude into a piece of paper, and bury it later when you can.

Feel free to add your own ideas!

“I am not bothered by pain”

Requested by @akxta.

Sigil requests are currently closed! Please read [the rules] before requesting any sigils!

My witchy iOS apps.

Wow! I’ve never gotten more than MAYBE 15 notes in my many years on tumblr. Thanks, witch fam!

UPDATED*** Here are some app links for @valicorne​ and others who requested. They should all be free. Some of these are also in the Android Marketplace, and for those that aren’t, there are comparable ones.

And my mom has a baller sigil making app on Android I envy: Sigil Automatron. Anyone know of a comparable one for iOS? (I don’t want just a paint or photoshop-like app, but one specific To making sigils)

Not all the full names show in the screenshotted app view, which is why some of you struggled to find them. Sorry!):

1. Tarot Card Memorizer: Pretty self explantaory. This is a nice reference when you’re trying to learn card meanings.

2. Pendulum Charts Free - a plethora of charts. I like using that on my iPad, not super useful on a smaller screen, aka my iPhone. Can also use to reference for making your own charts on paper, or woodburning like I’m working on.

3. Golden Thread Tarot - Really nice free eversion of great physical deck. Nice for witches on the go, or witches on a budget.

4. Crystals And Gems - Handy reference guide for both physical and metaphysical attributes.

5. Mighty Timer - temperature, time, and amount of tea you need for the perfect cup. Great kitchen witch app, especially if you grow some of your own herbs for tea, like I do.

6. TimePassages - Free daily horoscopes, meanings, planetary bodies glossary and then some paid options for chart downloads.

7. Herbs Guide - Herbs for health and cooking. ***never take any information found on the Internet or via apps as medical advice. Seek professional medical help if you have an issues. This witch is very pro-science and modern medicine, despite making teas, tinctures, and herbal salves. Those are merely supplements to help relieve symptoms.

8. Dreamboard - my favorite digital dream journal

9. Runes - pocket advisor - Get one, two and three rune readings. Also helps you learn the meanings of elder futhark runes. 10. SkyView Free -This overlays constellations and other astronomical information when you open the app and point it at the night sky. Uses your camera and GPS to know what it’s looking at. Works inside, too. I impress the heck out of people when I whip this out at stargazing events.

11. Best Essential Oils and Aromatherapy Guide Pro - This app, containing six broad sections - guides, application, single oil, oil blends, aromatherapy and weight loss. Again, this is not to be used in place of proper nutrition and medical attention, and be very careful when using essential oils. All need to be diluted with carrier oils, and some are dangerous if you’re pregnant, etc.

12. Spellcaster - tarot cards, horoscope and pre-written spells. Not my favorite, but fun to flip through.

13. Celeste -LOOOVE. Celeste allows you to calculate a natal chart, which you can view on a zodiac wheel. You also get a description of all the planets in signs, not just the sun sign.

14. Star Chart - This is similar to skyview. I haven’t played with it too much so I can’t vouch for it quite yet. I think I prefer the skyview interface.

15. Free Candle - Different candle options, and you cna blow them out. Great for on the go candle magick/meditation, and for those who aren’t allowed to use candles in apartments/dorms/etc.

16. The Pocket Pagan - “This unique Pagan app includes a map of the USA and Canada filled with Pagan, occult and New Age stores, a handy correspondence guide for quick magickal look-ups, and a calendar that shows you the next full moon and Sabbat dates. Quick links can help you find the latest news, blogs and videos too. One little widget shows the real-time moon phase too.”

17. Moon - current moon phase - Love this. Very simple interface for when you JUST want basic full, new, waxing, waning moon info.

18. Herbs in Magick - The application contains information about more than 200 herbs and their magickal use. No internet connection

Sigil/Crystal Charging Method

It’s really hipster-ish, but hear me out. Turntables. I charge my sigils/crystals by placing them in the middle of a record, and playing a song with the kind of energy I want it charged with. As the record spins, I imagine the energy filling the object. By far my favorite method of charging.

[amagicchild]

Tarot/Pendulum Readings!

I’m opening up my tarot readings along with my pendulum for those interested! I’m in need of money to cover medication and medical procedures. For those who would like a backstory: I have Crohns, Gastroparesis, Classical Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, POTS, severe Hypokalemia, and cluster headaches. Currently I also am dealing with pancreatitis and something has caused my liver enzymes to spike drastically.

I’m on my father’s insurance but Aetna is no longer covering a lot of my medication. Currently I am on: Prednisone, Verapamil, Tambocor, Entyvio (IV), Zofran, Celexa, Flagyl, and will soon be starting a Medicine for pain.

On top of this I have to get my wisdom teeth removed and my insurance is not willing to cover the full cost. Not to mention I have a ton of medical supplies that are no longer being covered completely since the insurance changed. Feeding bags, formula, supplies for my monthly Entyvio infusions, ostomy supplies, etc.

My mom has been helping me tremendously and is working 3 jobs currently as an ASL interpreter, but she had to take a leave of absence to get all of her teeth removed due to brittle teeth.

With all of that out of the way, I’m in need of making money to help pay for my health care. I do get SSI, but it’s only 150$ a month which barely covers even just one of my medications.

So here’s how I will do tarot readings:

- One Card Reading $5

-3 Card Reading $5

-5 Card Reading $10

-7 Card Reading 10$

-10 Card Reading 15$

Pendulum readings will remain free but tips are always appreciated.

If you want a reading please pay through my PayPal and then message me which spread you want. Even if you can’t spare any money, even just sharing this post can help. Thanks to everyone in advance.

Take a Fucking Sip, Babe an original spread crafted by tarot-cards-and-tea

a tarot spread to reveal the harsh reality of your situation

The Kettle- the messenger, can be a literal person, overarching theme, or energy delivering the words you need to hear

The Tea- the harsh truth, the reality of your situation that you may not be willing to face

The Saucer- the support for this delusion, the reason you cannot see things as they are

The Sugar- the sweet in the bitter, looking at the bright side

The Cream- an optional card that may be drawn for a closing message which could make your message more palatable or could cloud the overall message

author’s note: cards positioned horizontally may be read as either upright,  reversed, or both depending on card drawn and positioning within the spread

feel free to use this spread for self-discovery or as practice with friends and family, but please refrain from monetizing this spread.

I would love to hear your stories about working with this particular spread. You are welcome to tag me in posts, message me, or send me an email.
