witchy ways to celebrate your birthday 🌙🔮

Because I’m making a list for myself, and wanted to share my thoughts!

• give yourself a tarot reading for the year ahead! • dress a candle and charge it for self blessings. light it up! bonus points for using a birthday cake candle! • write your birthday wishes on a small slip of paper or a bay leaf. put it in a pot and plant seeds over it- as the plant grows, your wish begins to manifest! • create a self love, blessings, and overall good vibe sachet or jar for yourself.

Other people, feel free to chime in! 💖✨

Ugh anxiety is getting me hardcore today 😥. Thinking about going outside and just standing under the moonlight for a bit. If it's not raining. Anyway, I don't know how to feel other than stressed and anxious so it's not new....

If any of y’all didn’t know, there’s a free online library, aka

https://openlibrary.org/

and I found like, twelve ebooks I’ve been wanting to read on there, and blasted through like three of them during the course of a boring-ass shift.

So happy I finally received my new ‘grimoire’! This will be way easier for me to organize all kinds of information and I’m thinking of buying a rose gold chain and carrying it with me like a necklace! It’s 16GB so when I make meditation/energy work sound tracks I can bring it to gatherings too. I feel like I can finally get a move on with organizing all my info lol!

💫 scrying tips 💫

scrying is the ancient divination art of staring into a smooth or hypnotic surface to receive knowledge from spirits, the universe, the deities, or even your inner self. it’s a very useful tool for anything from discovering past lives, finding a way forward, predicting an outcome or making a big decision. but a lot of folk these days maybe aren’t too sure how to do it. so i’m going to tell you how i was taught.

👁 choose a scrying receptacle. some common ones are: a dark bowl filled with water, a river or stream, a small fountain or pool, fire, smoke (especially from incense or ritual candles), a tamped smoothed surface of dirt, a black/dark crystal, black glass. i myself use a dark bowl filled with water charged by the moon.

👁 make your space your own. get comfy. be alone. decide whether you need strong light or no/low light, whether you need to be outside or inside. personally, i like low light with candles if possible.

👁 prepare yourself. get in the headspace now. use incense if you like (frankincense and cedar are good for this, i love cedar), put on some white noise or low instrumental music that won’t get too loud or fast. now’s the time to make sure your protections are in place, even if you intend to be communicating with your deeper self. wards, a protective gris-gris bag (that’s what i use), a poppet to distract, casting a circle—however you do.

👁 relax. stare. let yourself zone out. now comes the scrying part. stare into your scrying receptacle of choice. don’t stare hard; you know the look of a lazy cat before it’s about to fall asleep? that’s what you want. you’re looking, not searching. the knowledge will find you when it’s time. patience, child.

👁 listen to your thoughts. i’ve never had a different voice in my head come to me with cryptic riddles. every time i receive information through scrying, it’s been an errant thought of my own that seems to stick a little more than the others and hit just right. a sudden ‘oh hey, i should focus on this aspect right now’ or ‘oh, you know, i should ask this person for help’, an idea i hadn’t had before. not everything is like in the movies where the clouds part and your great grandma comes to smack you upside the head and get your life straight for you.

👁 thank the beyond and move on. now you’ve got your info, you have to do something with it. so go do it! blink quickly to help break your trance, roll your head around, stand up, stretch—send out a thanks to whomever just helped you, clean up, and go about your day. go put that new gossip to use!

good luck. 🖤

Easy Ways to Connect More Strongly with your Deities

Say Good Morning when you wake up, say Good Night before you fall asleep

Share your food with them. If you’ve ever wanted some of your friend’s french fries, you know how they probably feel. 

Donate to causes that fall under the jurisdiction of your deity. Are they a goddess for women? Donate to a women’s shelter or Planned Parenthood. Is your deity a patron of the arts? Give to PBS or local theatres.

Cook a full meal in honor of your deity. Seriously. It sounds silly but you can definitely find a regional cookbook based on your pantheon to cook a full ass feast for them.

Write them letters or notes. Keep a little notebook of notes and letters to your deity. Did you see a cute cat that you think Frigga would’ve liked? Maybe you saw a girl’s outfit that would’ve made Aphrodite drool. Let them know, or give yourself a reminder to tell them about it later.

Change your phone background. Does your deity have a temple or built pantheon? Put that shit as your wallpaper! Did you find a picture that so perfectly captures the spirit of your deity? Make it your lock screen.

Make them a Mix Tape. You know, so you can belt out songs in their honor while making your way downtown. Faces pass. And you’re home bound. 

DIY your Altar. I’m not going to lie, I’m not to altar type. However, it is a fantastically personalized space that you can do anything with. So don’t let anyone stop you from knitting that mini statue of Hecate a scarf.

🔮 How To Make A Virtual Altar 🕯️

Hey everyone! I'd like to start this post out by saying this is one of many ways to make a virtual altar. This is by no means "the right way" it's just a way I learned to make my altars 😊:

1. Okay, so to start what I do is I look for a nice base to use for my altar. What I've found works best for this is googling, "empty table background" or "empty window sill background". It should pop up with pictures similar to this one:

Then all I do is save it and open up Google Slides. However, a picture editing app will work too 😁.

2. From there I add is as the slides background. Then I search up "(item name here) transparent background" on Google and save the image I'm looking for. I generally look for a candle or a figure to use on the altar during this step.

3. I add it to the slide and adjust the size and placement to fit how I want it on the altar. From here I just add other things to my altar to fit my path and what I'm making the altar for.

4. Once you add all the decorations to the altar you're done 😁. If you wanted they could be printed off and kept in a ringed binder or you keep them digitally.

Infused Water Magic

perhaps it’s a bit too warm for coffee potions, or hot chocolate magic, or even tea spells, but you still want to work a little magic into your day. infused waters! here’s just a couple of suggestions with fruit and even herbs, and their correspondences.

for all recipes, chop, cube, or slice all fresh ingredients. let them sit in a bottle of cool water for a few hours. the longer it waits, the more flavor infuses. afterwards, you can eat the fruit or infuse it again!

Honeydew Melon and Raspberry   🍈 🍇

Coin Correspondences

I’ve been experiencing magickal things with coins lately, and there’s nothing I could find on the internet about what they mean so here ya go. 

You can flip certain coins to divine the future about certain things, or for a yes or no question, or you can interpret meaning from coins you find randomly.

Note: This is about coins used in the United States. Sorry I don’t know anything about currency correspondences in other countries.

When you find/flip a coin:If it’s heads up, it represents something good about what the coin represents, and means yes if you asked a question. If it’s tails-up, its represents the opposite. If there are other coins around it, look at the placement. I recently found a penny with three larger coins around it and discerned that it was the Morrigan trying to show herself to me. (There were other signs of this, but that’s off topic)

Here’s a list of what certain coins represent and correspond with magickally:

Pennies- The self (you), mortality, physical things.

Nickels- Youth, innocence, potential, magick, the feminine.

Dimes- Other people, outside influences, things not directly related to you, the masculine.

Quarters- Higher powers, things out of your control, events.

Half-dollars- Something you aren’t familiar with/don’t expect, the universe/multiverse, Source/God/the All.

Anyways I hope this helped you in some way, remember this is just from my experience, follow whetever your intuition tells you :P

🍊 Orange Peel Tea 🍊

Slightly over-worked college kitchen witch here with a great tea recipe. It’s super simple to make, pretty tasty and very good for you!

Ingredients:

🍊Orange (or tangerine, Clementine, etc) peels

🍊Hot water

🍊Other herbs you want to add (I like ginger)

How to make:

🍊If you’re using fresh oranges, cut them into quarter-sized pieces. If you’re using dried orange peels, grind them up a bit with a mortar and pestle

🍊Place the orange peels in a pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil. As soon as the water boils, turn off the heat. Let the Orange peels steep for an hour to an hour and a half.

Physical and Metaphysical properties:

Physical: Immune health, anti-inflammatory, Helps with cold and flu symptoms, clears away mucus, soothes nausea and headaches.

Metaphysical: Oranges represent happiness, inspiration, abundance, and fertility. They’re closely tied to Yule, making this a great Yule beverage!

I’ll probably make a whole post about Oranges soon, but in the meantime enjoy the tea!
