“I Am Motivated But Know When To Rest”

Keep this sigil with you, for example, during a high-effort project of some kind. Or use it when you’re trying to get something done before a deadline. This will help you maintain your motivation to ‘do the thing’, while also keeping you mindful of your limitations (which often tend to come with being mortal) that need to be catered to.

“Our Bond Will Not Weaken From Distance” Okay, so there’s two good ways and one iffy way I can think of using this. Say, you and a person you are very close with are going to be separated for whatever reason, be it from moving, death, or not being allowed access to eachother. Good Idea: You and the other person can carry this on your person or keep it with you in general. Good Idea: You can draw this on a picture of you and that person. Iffy Idea: Or you can draw this sigil and have both of you put a drop of your own blood on it.

Must-have starter herbs

When I was a baby witch I remember being all “???” on the herbs. I knew I wanted to start working with them, but I had a very limited options. Not only did I know next to nothing, but I was also in that famed broom-closet. Here are some basic bitches that witches gotta love and respect…

Bay leaf

Please love this baby (or should I say BAYBY??). It’s a great protector, fabulous at banishing, and it greatly helps with dreamwork. Oh! And I almost forgot. It has healing properties, so drink that antibacterial bay leaf tea for your sore throat. It’ll help!

A fun thing to do with a bay leaf:

If you must part with your lover, break a bay leaf in half with them. Keep one half, give the other to them. It will protect your relationship, keep y'all faithful to each other, and it will ensure you guys meeting again.

Cinnamon

Might as well be the first thing I looked up as a fetus witch. I got delighted when I learned that it helps drawing money, happiness, and love! What else could you want in your life? Oh. Health? It does that, too. Don’t worry about it.

Drawing money with cinnamon:

Get yourelf a (preferably) green baggie. Light up a (green) candle. Put some coins in it. Write your intention (“I will receive 30$ by the end of this month”) in a piece of paper. Seal it with wax. Let dry. Chuck it in the baggie. Sprinkle some cinnamon in it. End the ritual and leave the baggie undisturbed. When you recieve your money, leave an offering (if you wish).

Lavander

Like all things purple (coughamethystcough), lavander brings peace to a restless mind. It also aids in attracting pure love, calming down stressed nerves, and sharpening one’s mind. It aids in purification, so make some lavander water and get scrubbing!

Lavander sugar:

Layer lavander flowers and sugar in a jar, let it sit in the dark, cool place for a month and ta-da! It’s tasty and helps in love-work.

Chamomile

This little thing not only helps with restless stomachs, but also aids the holy trinity: purification, money, and love! It’s also a luck bringer.

Luck at gambling: before you go playing cards with your buddies or just betting, wash your hands with chamomile infused water for a little boost!

Black pepper

Now THIS BAD BOY! He’s hard-core. He banishes, protects, and adds a bite to everything you put it in. It also wards off the Evil Eye.

Pro tip: carry black pepper everywhere you go. People that wish evil upon you will have it reflected upon em. They also might start sneezing.

Okay, folks, I’m tired already. These are some of my favorites, so please don’t be mmean to them. I love them. But I also love you!

Brain fog lifting

Little witchy ways to help with brain fog (UPG). Brain fog is basically when you struggle with mental clarity, memory, focus, low energy, grumpiness, and the like. It’s no fun!

Using Crystals:

Pick a clear crystal, like quartz. Hold it to your temples/forehead and let it draw out the fog. Picture the fog being pulled from your head and swirling into the crystal, and the coldness of the crystal bringing clarity to your mind. (You can also do this by touching a crystal in your pocket if you’re in public!)

Using Water:

Dip your fingers in snow/moon water (tap water will do if needed) and touch any points on your face that you feel like the fog is affecting it (if that makes sense?!) I like to do: a drop on my chin, a drop on each cheekbone, one on my forehead and on both temples, and on my eyelids as well. With each drop, say a word you would like to bring back (clarity, focus, understanding, comprehension, memory, retrieval, ~ability to see~).

Using Air:

Get fresh air (even through a cracked window) and breathe deeply for one minute. Envision it swirling in your mind and clearing away any muckiness. 

Using Sigils:

Find sigils for brain fog, clarity, memory, etc. and draw them in a place that you feel connects to your mind. For me, it’s my pulse points on my inner wrist (since drawing sigils on your face can be a hassle!

Non-witchy advice:

(Aka boring “have you thought about changing your entire lifestyle?” stuffs)

Evaluate your diet, and consider if there may be any foods influencing it. Have you been tested for food allergies? It’s worth considering!

Try to do light exercise at least once a day. For me this involves a little extra walking on campus, or some stretches in the morning.

Less sugary drinks, more water. 

Give yourself at least 10-30 minutes before bed to wind down/think about the day/de-stress - even if it means you go to bed a little bit later. It can help sleep if you’re really busy and stressed.

Get a planner/make a to-do list. 

Getting up at the first alarm is better for your clarity than hitting snooze six times (but I am guilty of the latter).

Self Care with the Moon (Astrology)

Nurturing, Self care and your Moon sign/placement

The moon in a natal chart represents how we nurture, how we want to be nurtured, our habits and our receptivity.

If you’re feeling tense, anxious or in need of self care and nurturing, look to your moon sign for some help as to how you can take better care of your emotional well being.

Moon in Aries/1st House/conjunct the AC from the 12th - Express your emotions to others upfront - Take care of your appearance - Do jobs for yourself, you’ll feel better being independent - Have that emotional blow up, don’t hold it in - Don’t sit around wallowing in your emotions. Get up, and go DO something, take initiative - You want to cry? Do it…. - Be in solitude sometimes (if your moons in the first house, you’re quite receptive to other people’s emotions. You need to get away from that from time to time)

Moon in Taurus/2nd House - Material comforts such as good food, a soft bed, and comfy clothes will greatly help nurture you - Having a well balanced bank account - Write down 5 things a day that you value (about yourself, and/or what you have - not what you want). A gratitude diary would be great! - Listening to music (or making music if you like to) will help you relax. Also painting and sculpting - Hugs! Physically holding another will help you relax - Nice smelling perfumes on your body or in your house - Using Body moisturiser and beauty products

Moon in Gemini/3rd House - Talk about your feelings - Get out of the house and go for short trips around your neighbourhood/local area. Being in your house for too long will make you agitated - Talk to others, In real life or online. Prolonged solitude can make you feel lonely very quickly (Facebook/Snapchat/Skype people when you can) - Hang out with your siblings (if you have any/if your moon isn’t afflicted). If you don’t have any siblings, cousins and neighbours you’re close to is also great! - Write things down, especially about how your feeling. You may enjoy journaling

Moon in Cancer/4th House/Conjunct the Ic (possibly from the 3rd House) - Hugs Hugs Hugs! - Cook/eat your favourite food - Spend time at home (if you’re a 3rd House moon conjunct the IC, go out for short trips then come home to relax - you kinda need both) - Be with your mother/family (if your mother is present/if your moon isn’t afflicted) - Nurture others - Be with children - Cry on someone’s shoulder, it’s ok! - Snuggle in bed

Moon in Leo/5th House - Be generous and spread happiness to others - Take the spotlight (but don’t be too greedy) - Let people know how you really feel (don’t be too pushy about it) - Express your creativity! - Dance if you want to! - Watch a comedy or joke around with friends - Play games with children/Release your inner child - Party 🎉 - Play games! - Express your love to your lover. Give and get kisses and cuddles you deserve

Moon in Virgo/6th House - Take care of your health. Take your medication, eat healthy and exercise - Do yoga - Make a ‘To-do’ list and calendars. You’re naturally emotionally stressed, make it easy for yourself by planning things - Keep your house and environment organised and clean - Pamper yourself by being well groomed and hygienic - Relax in a spa bath - Enjoy a healthy meal - Make goals for yourself and aim to achieve them - Help someone else out. Be of service - If you aren’t feeling great, ask someone to do some jobs for you. It’s only fair

Moon in Libra/7th House/Conjunct the DES from the 6th - Make art. Draw and paint - Make yourself look beautiful. Wear your favourite outfit, get your hair/makeup done - Listen to music - Talk to others and close friends - Spend time with a romantic lover - Do something nice for someone - Settle/balance an argument - Weigh the pros and cons to making a decision - Beautify your home and environment

Moon in Scorpio/8th House - You’re emotions are so intense, you may need to seclude yourself fairly often from people. Take time out with yourself to avoid emotional strain - Spend time ‘going within’ yourself. You can do this through mediation or simply self contemplation. You have a need to know yourself. - You need to protect your vulnerability. Find someone you can trust 100% to tell your feelings to, for you need a channeled way of release - You can purge excess emotion and passion through sex and connecting with someone on a higher level - Share your feelings with those you truly trust

Moon in Sagittarius/9th House - Go for a long drive/bus/train trip. Explore your local area, or if you can, take a trip to a nearby town. Explore your sense of adventure - You probably generally don’t like to think/talk about your emotions, and your resilience allows you to support yourself - Enjoy the company of good friends. Laugh and have a good time - You may enjoy watching a comedy - Ask yourself the biggest questions of life and let your mind wander in the possibilities. It brings you ease knowing that everything happens for a reason, allowing you to maintain your optimism

Moon in Capricorn/10th House/Conjunct the MC from the 9th - You like Scorpio moon folk, tend to prefer to keep your emotions under wraps - You make like to literally ‘work’ your problems out. Doing jobs and focusing on goals allows you to gain satisfaction of achievement - At times, you may feel lonely and cut off from others. This is often self imposed. Don’t be afraid to open to others who you feel comfortable with - Like Virgo moons, setting your self job lists can help give you direction, removing any feelings of being at a loss with life - Spend sometime away from people who try to pry you open all the time as this can really stress you out

Moon in Aquarius/11th House - You’re emotional wellbeing may not be the focus of your life, and you have great difficulty expressing your feelings to others - You have the ability to logically analyse your emotions and fix things in your external environment that’s causing you problems - Change things in your home/environment often to keep yourself stimulated - Perhaps spend time partaking in humanitarian causes - Talk to anyone and everyone. Being part of society can make you feel quite buzzed

Moon in Pisces/12th House - Your emotions are highly sensitive and you are greatly sensitive to the emotions of others. Surround yourself with loving and supportive people or if that’s not possible, find a secluded space - You react to emotional stimulus quite easy. Listen to happy music or watch a funny, lighthearted movie - Never blame yourself for something you know you didn’t do. Don’t give into pieces victim mentality. Tell yourself the truth always - Learn how to set yourself boundaries and don’t give into everyone all of the time. It’s great to be loving and generous, but you need to also take care of yourself - Watch movies or play games that really draws you in and allows your imagination to run freely in a channeled way
