Your Rune Of The Day!Raidho

Source: Moonly app

Destiny, Rhythm, Journey, Travel, Wheel.

This rune symbolises the journey, the path and movement. It activates the inner compass to get an understanding of where your soul is calling you. Raidho helps with finding oneself and encouraging spiritual development. You have the necessary knowledge, inspiration and energy. You are in the right place at the right time. Raidho is called the amulet of travellers, as it helps avoid obstacles and to rationally evaluate the situation. You are filled with good luck, don’t stop, keep moving! Connect with those who inspire you.

Reversed:

Reversed Raidho means a stop, an accident, a failure or delusion. Something knocked you out of your usual rhythm. You may be distressed by ruined plans and angry at external events. There may be misunderstandings with loved ones or colleagues, affecting other areas of life. Analyse recent events and learn from them, let go of connection with people who hinder your development.

spell jars 101 ✧

how to craft a spell jar: 

cleanse your jar

gather your ingredients

charge and program them, and then add them to the jar

close and seal with wax, ribbon, string, etc. to finalize and cast the spell

decorate your jar however you'd like, or not at all - up to you

what you can use as a jar:

tiny glass jars with cork lids

mason jars

pickle/pasta sauce jars

old medication bottles

food storage containers

bead storage tubes

what you can add to a spell jar: 

dried herbs

dried citrus peels

dried flowers

magical powders

small crystals

gem chips

essential oils (a drop or two will go a long way)

infused oils (carrier oils such as olive or grapeseed oil that have been infused with herbs)

a few drops of charged water (storm water, war water, sea water, holy water, rain water, moon water, sun water, etc.)

paper (with sigils/symbols/glyphs drawn on it, an incantation, a name, a phrase, etc.)

coins

beads

glitter or confetti 

seashells/shark teeth/sand, etc.

leaves/acorns/sticks/bark/moss

animal fur, nail clippings, teeth, or whiskers that have fallen out naturally (if i catch you trying to pull out your pet's whiskers or fur, i will fight you)

nails, glass, pins, needles, thorns, and other sharp objects (great for cursing, binding, banishing, or protection)

vinegar, lemon juice, pickle juice (mostly for “souring” a situation)

honey, sugar, syrup (to “sweeten” a situation or for attraction)

pretty much anything that fits and corresponds to your intent

what you should avoid putting in a spell jar: 

unless your intent correlates with the contents of the jar spoiling or going bad - don't use anything biological in nature (think bodily fluids), don't use fresh produce or herbs, and be mindful of water content inside the jar. you don't want a moldy, biohazardous mess on your hands (unless you do, then that's cool, too).

what spell jars are good for: 

containing your spell, theoretically making it easier to manipulate and control

manifesting goals/intentions continuously or over time

passive manifestation that doesn’t require much ongoing participation from the caster but is subject to regular maintenance

what to do with your spell jar once it’s been crafted:

keep it on your altar

keep it in an area that's appropriate for goal manifestation (for glamours, keep it in the bathroom; for sleep or dreams, keep it in the bedroom; for safe travels, keep it in your vehicle; for cursing, keep it concealed in a black box; etc.)

wear it as jewelry

put it in your pocket, purse, or backpack

bury it in your backyard or within a potted plant outside (for spells you don’t plan to undo or want to last indefinitely) - if burying is not an option, hide it somewhere on your property

leave it at a crossroads

recharging spell jars: 

shake it up

light a candle on top of or next to it

submerge it in a bath of herbs or crystals that are associated with energy

submerge or surround with sea salt (a natural conductor of energy)

anoint with oil/blessed or charged water

pair with a tarot card or rune stone that matches your intent

suffumigate with incense smoke

energy work and visualization

disposing of and reversing spell jars - when you feel like the spell has done its job or you need to undo its effects:

remove the contents from the jar and either destroy them, bury them, or throw them away

for items you wish to save, cleanse them thoroughly before using them again

take the jar and cleanse it in whatever manner you choose and either save it to be reused; or dispose of it safely

[lucretiasgrimoire]

For those who don't know most sigils are made by individual witches, and no two sigils are going to be exactly the same. There are many methods to create a sigil, the two I know are the wheel- and the "reversed hang-man" as I like to put it. The wheel is tricky for me, so I will explain "the reversed hang-man".

The reversed hang-man of which I speak ☝️

The first step involves taking the word of power, or intention (which must be written as a command) and breaking it down:

"I AM STRONG"

remove the vowels: A, E, I, O, U, and Y (sometimes if it makes an "eye" sound)

"M STR NG" is what we're left with so break these letters into their basic shapes..

||||=M, ()=S, ||=T, |)|=R, |||=N, (|=G.

4 lines are what make up the letter "M"

While 2 lines, and a crescent shape (or half circle shape) make the letter "R".

Once you've broken them into basic shapes, get creative and make them into a sigil.

NOTE: If your intention has repeating letters you will have to remove those along with the vowels. If not then all you need do is remove the vowels. The first picture is a list of ways to activate a sigil, I hope this helps.

Strawberry Moon:

Mid-chaos, Wednesday Gratitude, Spirits in Envelopes, Strawberry Spellwork and Just Two Girls

Tonight is the Strawberry Moon.

It’s already humming through the house.

I'm humming, too, deciding where to place more furniture, where furniture can be placed so it doesn’t disturb anyone.

Iris called it "the rhythm of nesting."

Maybe.

It feels more like rearranging thoughts, spells, priorities.

Iris is right about something else too: Wednesdays are good for writing down what you’re grateful for - the week is half over, after all. So I did.

Quietly. Between lifting heavy things and avoiding sharp corners.

I'm grateful for strawberries ripening in the garden,

for the hum of the envelopes that arrived this morning,

for the djinn and the angel inside, both looking at me like I was the only place left in the world that made sense.

And for so much more, we'll tell you.

“Thanks for taking me home,” they said, almost at the same time.

I just nodded.

The djinn felt charming.

The angel’s presence felt heavy. He’s not unknown.

Iris smiled. She always sees it before I say it out loud.

She’d already prepared the welcome party - like always.

“We should write a guide for haunted objects from antique stores,” she said, “and spirit attachment and transportation on purpose, in cases like this. It's different, for those who not know.”

It’s on the to-do list now.

The moon tonight is supposed to be about sweetness, love, ripening things. That’s what the Internet says.

It’s not wrong, just sometimes incomplete for your intentions.

You can make it better.

The energy goes deeper.

It’s about returning to what was almost forgotten.

About letting joy seduce you back into your own hands.

I’m making Strawberry Moon Water tonight.

It’s not a recipe I follow. It’s a spell.

And spells change, like we do.

You create it.

But you can invite others to bless it: your ancestors, your spirits, your gods.

Or just your own raw, blood-and-bone self. That’s enough.

Iris said something else earlier:

“We never imagined it like this. That we’d be… this.”

She was talking about us, I think.

We were two girls doing business.

Two girls who didn’t realize they were waiting to meet each other this way.

I met her right at the beginning, the time I met Berith.

She helped me manage everything, made the demons do their work, but also brought good mood into the house like lighting a candle in a smoke-filled room.

It didn’t take long before I declared she’d be my right hand in charge.

Apparently, two straight girls can become bi for the right girl - in a way, I'm not sure how to describe it. Just love. Touching her doesn’t startle me anymore.

It just feels like magic settling.

The djinn sits beside us and the angel across from us as we unwrap more packages.

Warm sunbeams stretch lazily across the hallway, pooling at the sleeping cats and the cat bench like melted gold.

The forest breathes beyond the windows, its shadows soft, its leaves whispering secrets to the glass.

Dust glows where it floats, caught midair in the light like the last traces of a spell.

Some days feel like Christmas.

That’s something else I’m grateful for.

In the next post, you’ll find our Strawberry Moon Water to-go recipe that’s not a recipe, but so to go-to.

We hope you enjoy, witch.

Yours, Doris.

Money Chant for Abundance

By root and leaf, by fire and stone,

Draw wealth to me, I call it home.

By moonlight’s pull and sunbeam’s glow,

Let golden streams begin to flow.

Coins may clink and bills may rise,

Prosperity, I magnetize.

With harm to none and good for all,

I rise in wealth — I do not fall.

So mote it be.

You don’t have to have fancy crystals and herbs for spell jars btw. You can use sugar, coffee grounds, leaves, acorns, etc. Don’t fall victim to witchcraft consumerism.
