It's finally open!

I have a small Patreon page I'm opening, which will serve as a collection of all my witchcraft education in a easier place. You will be able to find my posts here on Tumblr still, Patreon will simply get those posts sooner. You will also receive a link to discord community that I'll be in helping answer questions and offering a little more one on one help and tips.

There are already 10+ posts on there already, and any time I finish a post it goes right to Patreon, rather than once a week like here on Tumblr. Some months will definitely have more posts than others, it will all depend on how many posts I write that month.

Patreon subs are $5, and I will be offering a tier soon that includes a monthly tarot reading as well. Thanks, and I can't wait to see you there

Come join me around the couldron here!

Witch Note: You Are the Spell

You don’t always need a candle.

Or a crystal.

Or the right moon phase.

You are the spell.

Your breath, your heartbeat, your intention — that’s ancient magic.

When you cry into your tea, when you hum while cleaning, when you light a candle just because it comforts you… you’re casting.

When you daydream about a better life, a softer one, a wilder one — you’re already calling it in.

Not every spell needs incense and Latin.

Some just need your presence. Your truth. Your spark.

Don’t forget that.

Until we're free from this regime and brown humans stop being kidnapped off the streets and disappeared and worse this is going to get pretty political on my Tumblr so if you don't like that, please go. I won't be mad. But it's important to raise our voices against what's wrong. And what's happening is wrong and will only get worse.

I value every life and I would hate myself for not using what platform I do have to try to do what I can to resist evil.

I think our dieties and our ancestors would be proud of those of us who do stand up.

I also get political as fuck on my TikTok

Moon Water 101

The when, where, and why of using moon water

What is moon water?

Moon water is water charged under the moon, often during the new or full moon, to have the energy from that moon phase. 

How do you make it?

Fill your vessel with water (and stones or herbs to be more specific). Put that vessel in a spot that gets some moonlight. This could be a window, on your porch, in your car, etc., after the sun has fully set. It doesn’t matter whether it’s for an hour or overnight, just make sure you retrieve it before the sun comes up. Store in a dark place, out of sunlight. 

________________________

Tips:

-Only make as much as you think you need: Okay, a few things. The water loses its charge the longer it sits. I recommend recharging it once a month (During the next moon cycle). The other side of this is physical. Sitting water isn’t great for you, microbes and stuff can grow it in. It’s just better off to make sure you only make as much as you need at the time. There will always be another full moon, you don’t need a Costco sized bottle of moon water. 

-On the same topic, store under a cloth, or in a dark place. Make sure it’s out of the sunlight when not being used. This is more of a physical worry, like stated above. The sunlight may help things like bacteria, microbes or algae to grow, and that’s just not something you want on your altar. 

_____________________

Uses:

Moon water is a great thing to use to cleanse or anoint your tools if that’s something you would like to do. 

Add to potions, drinks or meals to give them a more powerful effect. (You should only be using moon water that was prepared within 24 hours of the meal. I do not condone using moon water that has set for any long period of time before being consumed)

Can be used in place of oils in spells or rituals 

Water your plants with it

Use it as offerings to deities, fairfolk, and/or spirit guides ______________________

Some simple recipes to get you started

Cleansing spray: Take a few sprigs of rosemary and sea salt and put it into a spray bottle of your liking. Add just enough moon water to cover the rosemary. Let it sit for about 72 hours, and then use it to spray down tools, sacred spaces, candles, etc. to bring a cleansing, purifying energy. 

Cleaning spray: Take that same rosemary sprigs and salt, put that in a bottle, and use half moon water and half vinegar. Let this sit for a week or so, and then use it as a multipurpose cleaning spray around the house.
