Daily Spell: February 9

Healing Spell for the Winter Blues by Patti Wigington

What you need:

3 blue candles

Thyme, fresh or dried (If you are sensitive to the oils in thyme leaves, you can use chamomile or honeysuckle)

1.) Light the 3 candles one at a time. As you light each, say “Heal my mind, my spirit, my soul, I shall be healthy and happy and whole.” Once the candles are lit, hold the thyme leaves between your palms, and slowly rub them together, saying “Winter will end, the sun returns once more, my spirits will rise and my soul will soar.” Extinguish the candles, and scatter the crushed thyme leave outside.

🍻🍀Prosperity Jar🍀🍻

What you’ll need -

📈A jar (I used a baby food jar)

👑Jewlery (I used earrings that had no pair!)

🍀Dried Basil

🍀Dried Mint

💛Gold or Silver Glitter

💲Coins (Gold coins, pennies etc.)

💚A Green or Gold Candle

Optional: Four leaf clovers or anything else ’lucky’! 🍀. I added a citrine crystal since it’s known as the merchants stone.

Put everything in your spell jar, envisioning what you want as you do so. A chest of gold coins, money falling, beautiful jewelry, or maybe just your dream house. Anything that makes you think of the intent of money, luck and prosperity!

Once everythings in the jar, place your candle on top and light it (Or if it’s in a jar or tin, just pour the wax over the lid to seal it) As you see the wax drip down on to the jar say -

“Let my fortune grow. Let my luck flow.Bring me prosperity. Make it so.”

Recite this as many times as you wish while envisioning your future prospers. I wrote mine down and placed it inside the jar.

Either let the candle melt all the way down over the jar OR blow it out once the top is sealed (If you dripped the wax instead then just blow it out when covered)

Keep in a safe place or keep it near you whenever you need some luck, money or prosperity in your life.

💛💸🍀GOOD LUCK!🏆📈💚

Tough as a Nail, Sharp as a Thorn Protection Spell

This is a spell to help protect you from physical or emotional harm.

Ingredients:

Storm water

Rose thorns

Nails

Herbs for protection and strength (I used black pepper, ginger, basil, and oregano)

A jar

Optional: paper and something to write with, if you don’t want to say the spell out loud

Instructions:

Add protective herbs to your jar.

Add storm water to about halfway up the jar. While you add it, say “Strong as lightning, thunder, and rain, all attempts to harm me will be in vain.” If you can’t say the spell out loud, write it down on a piece of paper and add that into the jar.

Add the thorns and nails into the jar and say “Tough as a nail, sharp as a thorn, though this spell new strength will be born.” If you can’t say the spell out loud, write it down on a piece of paper and add that into the jar.

A Yule Ritual

Spell originally by Cassandra Eason.

What you need:

12 white candles or tea candles (in a circle)

A red candle in the center

Festiveness around the candles (greenery, baubles, etc.)

Timing: Between December 21-23 in Northern Hemisphere; June 21-23 in the Southern Hemisphere (Yule’s timing)

1.) Light the red candle and from it the circle of candles. Say “I walk into the darkness without fear at the turning of the year, knowing the light will return. Candles no more burn.”

2.) Extinguish the candle circle so only the central candle flame remains. Say “ Let the old sun die, carrying away what must go, the illusions, the excuses, the inertia, and open the door to a new tomorrow.”

3.)After a few minutes relight each candle in the circle, clockwise from the red candle, saying “ The sun is reborn and light returns to the world. The dark times are ended.”

4.) Let the candles burn and use the decorations around the home (keep an eye on the candles so you don’t burn down the house :D )

White women on tumblr claiming that men cannot be witches because of historical persecution without addressing the ways in which white People have systemically persecuted and destroyed the pagan practices of people of color for centuries proping up their own narrow view of white paganism as the face of modern witchcraft is peak white feminism.

You don’t make the rules. Not this or any other day.
