simple exercises for baby witches ♡🌱

- meditate. even five minutes every day does wonders for developing self-understanding and your connection to the earth and spiritual realm.

- hone your intent- your most powerful tool. write your desires on a piece of paper and seal it with wax, or burn it (safely) in a candle. since intent is usually represented by fire, stare into flame and imagine it manifesting as your intentions or a kind of familiar that will stay will you and help you in your journey.

- consecrate your food. before eating, consider its origins and thank all that is responsible for bringing it to you. 

- create an altar. this can be as complex or as simple as you like- crystals and candles help, but all you truly need is your intent and any objects that prompt you to consider and value whatever you dedicate your altar to (a deity, nature, a festival, yourself…)

- develop a habit of starting or ending your day with some yoga. as you do so, make sure to thank the sun for rising and for setting, the moon for being so serene and the stars for all the stories they hold.

- connect with the elements. whether you are walking, sitting, falling asleep- balance yourself by acknowledging the elements. for example, notice your breath (air), notice the weight of your body or your contact with the ground (earth), notice your thoughts and emotions, or simply the saliva in your mouth (water) and notice your heartbeat (fire).

- bath magic! this is a favourite of mine simply because it is so versatile- use salts, bath bombs, candles, crystals, lavender or petals in order to clear negativity, cleanse for a spell, honour a deity, help heal yourself, strengthen self love and care, renew intentions and goals…

- practice a grounding exercise- do some research into what kind of grounding you like the most. I usually imagine roots drawing up energy from the earth’s core.

- go outside for the sake of going outside. talk to the flowers and trees and wind. acknowledge the extraordinary complexities of nature- how science and magic flows and interacts to form our beautiful planet.

- be thankful. you are alive! isn’t that incredible? whatever happened, whatever is going to happen, you are fortunate enough to be here, living and breathing and experiencing. keep doing so.

Ways to Strengthen Your Magic

Every now and then, magic can fade. In order to keep it strong and healthy, you have to exercise it. Of course there will always be times when something else is more important than your craft, but there is always a little something you can do to keep it going.

-Whisper an incantation over your lil’ cup of tea.

-Pray to your deities as you fall asleep at night.

-Carry a tiny crystal in your pocket.

-Scribble a quick happiness sigil on your arm before school or work.

-Give your pets some treats you have bewitched.

-Recite affirmations when you get ready to go somewhere in the mirror.

-Light a stick of incense while you’re cleaning or just sitting around.

-Add little thoughts to your grimoire.

-Sleep with your tarot cards.

-Play some witchy music.

-Set out a couple jars to collect rain water.

-Cleanse your home while cleaning.

-Set aside at least one day a month to devote entirely to your craft.

Hope all of you guys enjoyed and if you’d like more ideas then feel free to request! In the meantime, have fun and happy bewitching!
