The Sun Sign Elements

Correct me if I'm wrong but from what I've read the elements of sun signs are different from the elements of moon signs. I will also be posting those later.

This is an opinion and not something I have read: I think the sun sign elements apply to the sign overall and also for the planets but the elements for the moon signs specifically apply to the moon signs. Many things do overlap but my notes for the moon signs will apply in specific ways that the moon signs apply to astrology.

As always corrections, info & sources welcome

Happy Monday Everyone! 😌

Is everyone as excited for the autumnal season coming as I am? Mabon is right around the corner, and before you know it we’ll see Samhain, Yule, and the year end! Can you believe it? 🍂

I’ve been doing a lot of meditation to get back in my right headspace, and I’m finally ready to start working on my craft again. So I’ll be working on my Tarot and sigils again, as well as very very soon I’ll have the Patreon up and running! 🌙🖤🔮

Types of Witches & Witchcraft

What is a Witch? A witch can never be truly defined. It is a broad term used to describe a variety of people each of which follow their own paths with no two truly alike. 

Types of Witches

Kitchen Witch: (Cottage witch, Hearth witch) Works mainly within the home. Cares for the house and the family inside it. Prepares the meals and adds there own special magick to it. Provides the home with protection and keeps the house clean. 

Green Witch: Works with nature. Includes working with plants, nature deities, herbal remedies, earth, crystals, and faeries. Incorporates nature deities in their craft such as Pan, Demeter, Epona, Gaia etc.  

Eclectic Witch: Creates their own practice based on information and traditions borrowed from different practices and religions in. In order to create a path that works best for them. (Make sure you are not stealing from closed religions!)

Elemental Witch: A witch that works with the elements (water, earth, fire, air) in their day to day practices.   

Hereditary Witch: A witch that is born into a family of practitioners. They create and continue their families rituals and ceremonies. They commonly have a family grimoire or book of shadows that they pass down through generations. 

Sea Witch: A witch that uses the sea and its materials in their practice. Gets their power from the seas energy. Incorporates shells, salt, saltwater, driftwood, etc into their practices. Works with deities such as Poseidon, Njörðr, Neptune, etc. 

Solitary Witch: A witch who prefers to practice on their own.     

Faerie Witch: Someone who works in peace and harmony with the Fae. They take great care of their garden, place offerings out for the Faerie, and make them feel welcome and at peace.

Cosmic Witch: One who works with the stars, moon, sun, etc.  

Urban Witch: A witch that lives in the city and uses the objects they find for their practice. They come up with creative ways to garden on there small patio and store things in the little space they have. 

Pop Culture Witch: A witch who incorporates characters and ideas from movies, TV shows, and books into their practice. 

Science Witch:  Science witches are basically witches who incorporate the scientific method and ideology into their craft. In my experience no science witch is alike since each individual has their specific idea of how the relationship between science and magic works. A large part of being a science witch seems to be the belief in the placebo effect in relationship between the spellcaster and the spell. Science witchcraft is kind of a blurred line between the laws of science and the known universe and the realm of magic and the laws we can’t see. We believe in the possibility of a crossover between the two and embrace it and use it to our advantage in our craft. Taking into consideration the effect science has on the magic we are using and sometimes crediting the spell result partially to magic and partially to science - sometimes even considering the same thing. -This definition is from @drinkthemoonlight, Very appreciated, Thank you so much! - 

Druidism: A Celtic, nature based religion that works with Mother Earth. 

Wiccan: A  religion that follows it’s own set of rules and guidelines.  Such as the three fold law and “hurt none and do what ye will.”

Pagan: A religion that works closely with nature and it’s deities.

This list barely covers the different types of witches but it is all I can think of for the moment. I will be updating soon. 

May the moon light your path!

Things to Put in Grimoire / Book of Shadows

Your Grimoire, or Book of Shadows is your personal book of Magic. It can be any way you want it to be. Keep your favorite spells in it, use it as a journal, jot down important information you’ve discovered in your journey. This is a list of things I’ve done or will do in my Grimoire from personal preference. It doesn’t have to look a certain way or read any type of way because it is for you and you only; Until you die and your loved ones discover all the weird shit you were up to. ;)

And list things to use those for! So that would be herb bundles to burn, salves, recipes, and so on.

This would be things like sea shells, snail shells, grass, dirt, candles. Get creative!

I know as much as the next person that sometimes buying fresh ingredients can be a bit pricy. For this reason fresh lemon and ginger can always be substituted for lemon and ginger tea bags (Twinings sell these for less than £2).

Throat soothing tea:

Lemon for cleansing and antibacterial.

Ginger- Healing and anti-inflammatory.

Honey- antibacterial and healing

Boiling water.

Stir anticlockwise to banish sore throats and sickness.
