Witches go through periodical reinventions. When their lives call for it, they'll retreat & keep to themselves a while - birthing whole new versions of themselves before going out into the world again. ⚝🙏🏼💗♻️♀️

Herbs and intent

So I thought I'd share this historic practice of ritualistic ways of picking herbs in order to charge them with intent. In Romanian culture witchcraft used to be essential in every day life a few hundreds of years back and there are still some written gems left for us to enjoy. As I came across a guide on how to pick atroppa belladonna or nightshade I thought the same could easily be applied on any other herb that you'd like to charge with intent.

The belladonna was ritually picked on saint George's day the 23 of April, and depending on where in the country, at specific times of day and night.

For negative spell effects , the belladonna would be beaten, cursed, dragged and hit etc. all the way back home. It was said that only throwing the plant between two people could make them start fighting, sometimes even killing each other. It could then be used in all sorts of curses and spells with malicious intent.

For an amorous or positive outcome of the spell (although it apparently occurred for negative purposes as well) the witches would collect the plant butt naked, or if not possible, simulating or symbolising nakedness in one way or another.

This comes as a much more logical and practical practice than the old and forgotten German tradition of picking the belladonna along with a dog and then strangling the dog using the plant.

Please don't message me about cultural appropriation. I am Romanian and am taking this information out of a modern and well informed book. If something is unclear or you'd like more details feel free to ask whatever. I hope to make this into a series of useful traditional tips as they are what I personally like to use most in my practice. Simple and clear ways to do magic that make your soul tingle.

SAMHAIN! Samhain es una fiesta de origen celta, un día en el que los dos mundos, el de los vivos y el de los muertos están más cerca que nunca. Un día solemne dedicado a la introspección, pero también a los festejos junto a los difuntos, retomando los rituales paganos como la danza al rededor del fuego, prender las antorchas en el bosque o prepara un banquete lleno de manzanas, nueces, calabazas y velas de color blanco, rojo y negro. Listos para la llegada del invierno!🍁🌰🍄 SAMHAIN! Samhain è una festa di origini celtiche, una giornata in cui i due mondi, quello dei vivi e quello dei morti sono più vicini che mai, è un tempo solenne dedicato all'introspezione, ma anche ai festeggiamenti insieme ai defunti riprendendo i riti pagani come la danza intorno al fuoco o l'accensione delle lanterne nella foresta e alla preparazione del banchetto pieno di mele noci zucche e candele dei colori bianco, rosso e nero. Pronti per l'arrivo dell'inverno! 🍁🌰🍄

There are usually three Full Moons between an equinox and a solstice (or vice versa). One per month. Sometimes, though, four Full Moons fall in a single season. When that happens, the third of a season’s four Full Moons is called a Blue Moon. By that definition, the next Blue Moon will occur on 18 May, 2019. That was the original definition of a Blue Moon, but another has since been ascribed to it: a Blue Moon can also be the second Full Moon in a calendar month with two Full Moons; this happens far more often. It is in fact going to the happen twice this year. Tonight's the 1st Blue Moon of 2018 & we'll get another one March 31st. Tonight's Blue Moon is quite special though as it also happens to be a Supermoon + a Blood Moon (Lunar Eclipse). According to NASA we haven't experienced this powerful Lunar Combo of Events in 150 years (!!!!) If you're sensitive, I'm sure you've been already feeling the build up for days, can't pass on this one, it won't let us lol & if you've got Leo in your chart you've probably been feeling everything extra for every placement. As I said... There ain't no fighting it, just make the most of it! 💁🏼‍♀️🌝💙🎑

Happy last Full Moon of the year, witchy babes!

This one is quite the powerful one but its life-changing vibe comes with an unique delayed/drawn out effect. This is because today as the Moon became Full in Gemini, Mercury went officially retrograde. So, even though this Full Moon in Gemini it’s actually also a Super Moon, which makes her usual energy multiplied in strength – it’s normal to be feeling like, while major shifts are taking place there’s still a feeling of everything being up in the air, loose ends yet to be tied etc. {….}This is the second Super Full Moon of three consecutive ones we’re having until January 2018. It’s like a big wrap up to the year that got started with last month’s Super Full Moon in Taurus. And while that first part of this Supermoon Season lesson was to get clear on our life intent & our priorities in order, this second part of the lesson is more about learning to enjoy the ride, bumpy & intense as it might be at times & learn to surrender to life processes outside of our control while doing everything in our power to go in the direction of our dreams/purpose.

This Super Full Moon in Gemini is a brilliant time to… FINlSH reading here 😘✌🏻🌝♊👭⚝ >>> http://modern-witch.es/enchanted-living/super-full-moon-in-gemini-dec-3rd-2017
