✨ M𝕠𝕠𝕟 W𝕒𝕥𝕖𝕣 ✨ The harvest full moon was a few days ago and you may have made some moon water. But what do you do with it after it’s made?

Here are some of my favourite ways to use it!

To make moon water, put a container like a bottle or jar of water (preferably with a lid to keep bits from falling in) in the light of the full moon to charge for a minimum of a few of hours or leave to charge overnight.

Do you use moon water in your Craft?

La Bruja de Zempoala, the Witch of Zempoala, is a painting of a traditional Mexican witch, or Nagual. A nagual is a shape-shifter, who has the ability to change into her spirit animal, and travel the spirit realm at will. Here, the witch from Zempoala, which is famous for its witchcraft tradition, flies through the air, over small and sleepy towns, in the darkness of night. She has woven her rebozo, or shawl, with images of traditional wind spirits, who fill her rebozo with air and fly her into the sky. Her skirt is embroidered with more nature spirits. Around her fly her spirit animals, who guide and protect her. These are Alibrijes, fantastic animals in halucinatory colors, who are her other self and spirit guides. The border is painted with traditional Mexican earth spirits.

A Long List of Ways to Spiritually Protect Yourself

(Updated from this old list here.)

Shielding is a practice entirely built on your intention–if you want an eternal shield, you can have it. If you believe in your shield, it will be there. There are many ways that are incredibly powerful with just the slightest trust and a little bit of practice. As soon as possible, start to practice shielding and methods of spiritual protection, since practice, along with your intention, will create the most powerful shields. 

Also, you can never shield to much. It’s amazing and very empowering to have layer upon layer of shielding, and the energy and time you put into shielding will really save you a lot of energy and time in the future. Even just walking around, through crowds, cities, etc, drains your energy–negative energy is everywhere, and consciously seeking only the energy for your best and highest good will really, truly, and completely empower you. 

You can shield from anything and everything, just make sure to allow in things for your “best and highest interest/good.” ShCast every shield with this affirmation. This allows what people would consider “negative” emotions to still come through, so you can live a balanced life, since not all emotions that are considered negative actually are. This affirmation effectively only allows things that raise or balance your vibration, and help you to spiritually evolve. It won’t cut you off from anything necessary. Shields themselves will never overwhelm or smother you, since they are meant solely for your needs and will always let in positive energy. Here are some simple methods to begin shielding, but you can always adopt them with your own needs and intentions! Do what works for you, just make sure to shield when practicing spirit or energy work of any sort. 

Robe of White Light:

Focus for a moment on calming yourself, and once you have a clear mind, imagine a nice fluffy robe around you (I always imagine one like in the game Journey) made of white and protective light. This is the universe’s energy, and nothing ill can penetrate it once it is surrounding you.

It is recommended to repeat once or twice a day to maintain the shielding.

You can also use the affirmation of “I call upon a robe of loving and protective white light, knowing that it will protect me from all energy not in my highest interest. This robe protects me with the power of the Universe/Source/God.”

Guardian Protection:

Ask your guardian spirits (either aloud or through your mind) to protect you.

Always command that the guardians who help that they “come in light.” And if not, say they must leave. You don’t even have to know their name, but if they aren’t here to help, then they shouldn’t be around you. So just command this and all with ill intentions will be forced to leave.

Call on them for a need by need basis.

Auric Hardening:

Imagine your aura (trust whatever color you see in your mind’s eye), and then imagine it hardening, like it’s calcifying around you. It can get as hard as a rock, or like armor.

This can sometimes push away any energy exchanges, so you could feel more distant from positive interactions too. So, it’s best used when a threat is around

Usually lasts between 4 hours-2 days, depending on the strength of your intention.

Sigil warding:

Draw with a pen, marker, or with the tip of your finger (if you don’t need visible lines) a sigil with the intention of protecting yourself. A sigil is most basically an energetic line (or series of them) with an intention. The lines hold the energy and magnify the intention.

Here are examples

A post on sigil crafting

Shielding with Intention and the Universe:

Calm yourself with a short breathing meditation, then focus on what you intend to shield-yourself, another, or a place.

Imagine casting a ball of light towards the designated target, with the intention of allowing the Universe/Source to channel through you and shield whatever you intend to.

Just watch and observe as the shield is built, knowing that it is fully fueled by the energy of the Universe and will stay there, and stay strong, until the shield is released consciously by you.

You can specify this shield for certain purposes, like to only keep a spirit out, or to keep all negative spirits out.

Reiki Shielding and Protection:

In Usui Reiki, there is a technique your Reiki Masters should have taught you about warding and cleansing the room in white light. Channel Reiki energy to do this.

If you are attuned to Reiki II, you should know the 1st symbol and that it can be used to stop all energy that is not in your highest good from coming towards you, working as an effective shield when the symbol is called on.

You need to be properly attuned to Reiki for this.

Bubble shielding:

Similar to the white light or shielding with intention, but focusing on making and empowering a bubble around you.

Replenish this as often as possible, since this is dependent on your own care.

Can be in an oval or a sphere shape. If this is hard to get a hang of, then try just fitting it a couple inches away from your body, similar to auric hardening.

Waterfall shielding:

A bubble shield with the intention of existing on top of an underneath bubble shield. 

Focus on this shield and set the intention of having it move around like a waterfall. This way, someone sending negative energy has a very small chance of hitting the same place twice.

Elemental shielding:

All of these are built with a specific intention and visualization of the shield. Time around such element used will strengthen the shield, or a conscious meditation to draw the energy towards you and the shield.

Fire shield: Envision burning fire, that will destroy all negative energy/energy not for your highest good, when it tries to enter your energetic space.

Water shield: Similar to the waterfall shield, but with the visual of actual water flowing that can wash away all negative debris or toxicity clinging to any form of bubble shield underneath it. 

Earth shielding: This one can block off positive energy too, since it works more like a layer of earth around the person. Though, it can also be envisioned to only grow/manifest around you in times of need or when you’re being attacked or faced with negative energy. It can also block your third eye from seeing outside. Earth shielding can also work as a means of grounding you, which doesn’t have negative effects (as long as you don’t neglect your upper chakras). If you ground yourself to the earth, and your are harmed or shaken by negative energy, you can replenish your energy from the earth.

Air shielding: Envision a fast current of air around you that sweeps away all negative energy or malevolent beings.

Light shielding: A bright white light that totally purifies all energy that contacts it, similar to the robe of white light. Different colored lights can work too, but they all have specific purposes that you should research first.

Ether shielding: Sometimes this works like a portal, transporting all malevolent energy to another place in the universe. Just make sure to set the intention that things in your best and highest interest aren’t affected, and that the travel won’t severely harm anyone who is transported by the portal (since sometimes negative energy can come from just someone in a bad mood). 

Chaos shielding: Not always considered an element, but with the idea of scattering any negative energy–the sudden increase in entropy raises the vibration to something more positive.

Shadow and smoke shielding: Imagining either element around you, mostly for cloaking and making your energy less obvious. This is great for astral projection and spiritual travel when you don’t want to be noticed. You can infuse the energy with an intention of how you want to be perceived, like if a threat comes, then you can suddenly raise this shield and make the smoke cause you to seem dangerous, scaring off the opponent. 

Halo shielding:

Imagine a series of halos that spin quickly around you, moving to knock away negative energy if it approaches your space. This can be inside or outside of a bubble or light based shield.

Protection charms and enchanted objects:

Work made by you, when you have a lot of experience, in creating a sigil charm or enchanted object meant for protection. This can also be from someone who has passed down a family protection amulet (just research it and bathe it in light to clear any possible negative energy on it), or from an experienced energy worker making protection amulets, charms, or objects. 

Some are religiously charged, like crosses, pentagrams, etc. If this matches your belief, your belief will empower it.

I am Moon

I used to believe in fairy tales and happily ever after. Then I opened my eyes and say the real world. The real world is ugly and filled with hate. It is filled with entitled people who believe they are owed everything. Forget kindness and love, it is all about personal pleasure and power. It’s about me, me, me. What happened to caring about other people’s feelings and being a friend. Now unless you fit their needs or give into them you are out, squadless. Do not worry my spirit for I am like the Pheonix and I shall rise from these ashes. Stronger, majestic and powerful. I am Moon and I shall take my rightful place among the stars.

how to fill an empty notebook

Hey, guys! Here are 20 ways of filling your empty notebooks. If you’re like me and have tons of books that can’t be spоiled, just keep rеading. This post can be useful for you (or can be not, who knows). Well, let’s get started!

Bullet journal

I bet you know abot it. Bujo is one of the easiest ways of tracking your time, habbits, etc. It’s also the way of creativity. As for me, bullet journal is not only a system to make an efficient schedule. It’s a way more. I make my own system that works for me based on bujo. For example, during the summer i don’t make each day as i do during my semester, i write only a week and tasks that i have this week with dates and time. As i don’t have a lot of events this system is perfect for me.

Diary

This one is not about schedules. If you have enough time, you can spend it on it. Write down:

your feelings

healthy changes

your opinion

what you’ve done today

actually whatever you want

Ideas

I do have such notebook and can say that it’s the best invention in the history. Seriously. I used to forget sth like what i want to give as a bday present or what i want to make to decorate my room. But now i just write it down and remember. Some sections that you might like:

presents

social networks post ideas

room decor

health tips (exercises, recipes, etc)

bujo (spread)

sketchbook ideas

Bullet journal collections

Yes, you can have it separated from your bujo. It’s useful for those who have little bujos and don’t have enough place. So having bujo’s collections is comfortable sometimes. Write TV shows you watch, books you’d like to read/already read, expenses, goals for year/semester/month/week/life… Just, as i said before, whatever.

Wishlist

This notebook helps you to set your goals, make a budget and track your wishes. When you have some, you write them down, kinda anolyse them and learn what you should do. For example, i want to go to GB next summer. I should work really hard this school year to have time next summer. According to this i make my study plan and so on.

Budget planner

Yes, a part of it is in your wishlist and one part is in your bujo collections. But here you can write the complete version of your budget plan. Here you can write: 

your everyday expenses

big unplanned expenses

expenses you should save money for

summary

Travel book

If you travel a lot, it’s definitely for you. Pics from you trip, your emotions, tickets, anything that will remind you of the atmosphere of the place. Also it’s a good planner for yor excursions.

Thankful for book

There you write everything you’re thankful for. I write sth everyday so now it’s kind if a habbit. I see that not only bad things have a place in my life. Every moment of your life is worth living.

Writing book

You’re a writer? You need practice. Write about the weather, describe the people, tell a fairy tale. Put down the ideas, sentences, characters for you stories.

Sketchbook

Should i explain?

Study planner

I mean it can be sth besides school, college, uni. It includes:

study plan for week/month

plan for one lesson

what you should concentrate on

lots of motivation (god you’ll need it)

Draft

Yes, your pretty notebook can be used as a draft for your school/college/uni. Here you’re not afraid to make a mistake.

Tracker

health

sport

food

mood

habbit

It becomes much easier to find out what you’d like to change in your life.

Recipes book

Well, it’s as clear as blue sky.

Dream book

Yes, in 2018 some people have dream books. In my opinion, it’s so cool to have one. You write what you dream/nightmare was about, the meaning of it and if the prediction came true.

Statistics

To sum everything up you need this notebook. You analyse (again) what you’ve done in different spheres of your life. When you see the revision of your life, it becomes easier to understand what you have to fix.

Review notebook

There you write your opinion on book/tv show/film/game/etc and some words about it. So you can train your writing skills and learn how to express your point of view.

Quote book

Mine is very big because i’m going to take social science exam in two years and for essay i will need a quote. It’s very useful for everyone as it enriches vocabulary.

Future me book

A message for yourself in the future. I’ve never had sth like this but i’d love to.

Stuff book

The most messy one. Here you can express yourself, make notes, draw, whatever. Everything and nothing at the same time.

Jealousy

I'll admit it I'm fucking jealous. I have been in my weight loss journey since November and I have been doing good, I am down 41 lbs eith diet and exercise and was feeling proud of myself. Now here's where the jealousy comes in, she gets weight loss surgery and bam all my hard work is ignored all that matters is how much more she has lost how much better she looks than me. Why didn't I get surgery? Is all I hear 😡😢 Number one I dont believe that is the answer and two i am afraid of anesthesia. Why can't people just appreciate the fact that I have list and am still losing and not compare. Why does it have to be a competition. This is a life change for me not a beauty contest.
