If I thought Apollo was bugging me to contact him...Psyche ain’t playing games. I see butterflies all day everyday—in the weirdest places.

I feel ✨claimed✨ albeit that I’m not ready to actually work with her yet. Happy to worship!

DIY Gifts for Your Witchy Friends

You want to get your bffl the perfect magical gift, but you’re no basic witch: you can’t just buy any pack of incense and call it a day! For those of you that want to imbue a little magic into your festive gifting, here’s our list of DIY ideas for the holidays and all year round. 

1.     Perfume. Fragrance is always a great gift option, but why not make it more personal and blend the scent yourself? This is also a great option because it allows you to easily add some magic based on the ingredient correspondences. Try out one of these ideas and then charge your creation under the full moon! 

2.     Black Bath Bomb. We’ve all seen the hypnotizing black bath bomb that took over the internet, but what better way to add extra magical umph then to make it yourself? Give a go at either this recipe or this one for the perfect bath to banish negative energy. Add an essential oil of your choice for even more magic. 

3.     Incense Cones. Just because you’re not buying a pack of incense doesn’t mean you have to forgo the idea entirely. Making incense means more magic when burned then store-bought, and now you can customize it to your receiver’s needs. Use this recipe as a guide but use your own ground herbs to target what this witch needs more of in their life (hint: its probably cleansing!). 

4.     Salve or Balm. Every witch loves a gifted salve because it means they don’t have to make it. These make particularly great gifts for those friends who want something practical and useful in addition to being cute (looking at you, earth signs). A great compilation of recipes can be found here. 

5.     Gem Soap. It looks as pretty as a crystal, but has an everyday use, too! Make a big batch with this recipe to give to all the bath witches in your life and all the witches with the swoon-worthy gem collections. Hell, give them to all the witches in your life because they’re so absolutely adorable! 

6.     Bath Melts. Especially around the holidays, bath melts are great because they deliver much needed moisture to dry, irritated skin. This recipe, made with milk, honey, and almond oil, could easily be charged to attract prosperity and therefore makes a great gift for any struggling witches out there. 

7.     Smoke Cleansing Sticks. This one is for the purist friend who likes the traditional (they probably read all of Cunningham). Why reinvent the wheel when you can just give it a seasonal twist? Personal favorite of this list is the thyme and cinnamon bundle because it just screams holiday energy. 

8.     Reading Runes. While runes are typically inscribed with the Norse alphabet, why not give a version you know they don’t have with a moon phase update? Not only are they the cutest ever, but you can ascribe your own meanings! Note: the original link is under construction but general instruction can be found here.

9.     Body Butter. A charged body oil post bath magic can be heavenly but it sure is messy. Upgrade your fellow witch’s ritual experience by making them a fun whipped body butter instead. This recipe uses hibiscus tea, which would be perfect for attracting love, but switch in lavender tea for protection or ginger tea for confidence.

Last night (10 May 2020) I dreamt that a little mouse got into my slipper, and I kept trying to put it somewhere else—yet it came back to my slipper every night. I know that one of Apollo’s associated animals is the mouse, and I just...maybe should stop ignoring the signs. I’ve been seeing them for a while now, but I’ve been worried that it’s some random entity pretending.

Also, as I was writing this, a mouse skittered across the kitchen floor...I think somebody wants me to stop ignoring him. We’ve not seen them in at least a month, and we thought they’d finally gone...

I’m so thrilled about casting my first spell, but also I wanted to make a post so I would remember that this happened on Beltane! 

Blessed Beltane.

This is officially the first spell I’ve ever cast, I’m so proud of myself!

Finding Balance Spell Jar

This spell jar is made to help you find balance in your life. It is a very simple spell and great for a beginner witch!

What you will need:

a jar or container with a lid

salt (I used epsom salt but any kind will do)

Black pepper

wax

How to make it:

clean out your jar/container

charge your salt with positivity and happiness

charge your pepper with negativity and sadness

mix them and put them in your jar

seal the jar with wax and set it out in your room/living space

After you make this jar, it would be good time to reflect on the balance of nature. How sadness and happiness are not inherently good or bad, and the balance nature prevails. So if things are bad right now, remember, they will get better.

Thanks for reading! Feel free to send in asks or post requests!

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!!!

!My favorite tarot spread!

Shuffle through your deck!

Find the fool !

The card before him is a situation/person that's been weighing heavy on your heart soul and mind.

The card directly underneath the fool is the path you should take to overcome your situation/person.

“Becoming a witch is an awakening, a remembering, an initiation. It’s a chant to ‘come home, come home, come home’, because even when you feel like you’re lost, you’re not.”
