Spiderweb Spread

To let yourself love and be loved

Ingredients:

• pink, red or white bag
•  pink, red or white ribbon
• rose quartz to open your heart to love and attract tender feelings
• clear quartz to incense the energy
• dried rose petals or rosehips for romantic love
• lavender for kindness
• rosemary for honesty
• sugar and/or vanilla for sweetness
• cinnamon for confidence
• seashells for protection of your heart
• Optional: pink candles

When to do it:
During the waxing Moon
Method:
Light candles if you wish, and then take the time to focus on your intent (opening your heart, letting go on fear, abandon yourself to feelings, etc).
Put all the ingredients in the fabric, focus on your intent for each of them, say it out loud if it helps;  then close it with the ribbon. While you do so, be sure to stay focus on your objective and to visualize yourself in a happy relationship.
Once this done, keep the charm bag near you bed, and every morning when you get up, take it and do this visualization exercise:
Imagine your heart as a dark spot, black and dried. Then see energy coming to it, energies full of love and benevolence, reminding you how good it is to let yourself feel, and entering every inch of your heart. This one become a ball of light, and it starts pulsing again, and with every pulse, a wave of love go through your entire body.
Once you feel it is enough, you can stop for the day :) And hopefully, live happily this relationship!
You can also carry the bag with you if you wish!

⭐️Just a witchy reminder⭐️

⭐️when my room isn’t clean, i feel my energy is trapped and muddled. take a moment to just tidy at least one thing in your room today.
⭐️make sure you’ve washed your face today. feel the air on your skin, and remember your skin requires care too. healthy skin = a healthier you.
⭐️it’s okay to take that nap today. sit your crystals under your pillow and let them charge with you. you need a break to recharge just like your crystals do.
⭐️thinking about going to the gym lately? do it today, even if you just walk on a treadmill for 10 minutes. come home, take a nice shower, and feel proud of yourself.
⭐️don’t feel bad if you haven’t practiced in a while. we all have busy times, low times, and slow times. your time to shine will be here again soon.

New Perspective Spell 👁️

a spell to get a different perspective on a situation, to either understand different side’s opinion or find an objective viewpoint

👁️ gather: almond, sage, and bay leaf and a white candle
👁️ consider the situation and come up with a word to represent the other side’s argument as you currently see it.
👁️ write the word on the underside of the bay leaf. place it under the candle.

Craft chalkboard

One of the most useful tools I’ve discovered for my witchcraft is a chalkboard!
Here are some ways a chalkboard might help your craft:

• Devotional drawings or shrines to deities (shown above)
• Sigils to promote health, wealth, or happiness in the home
• Physical wards to protect your home
• Base to draw out intricate grids for crystals
• Place to charge or enchant objects by using power symbols

The best part is that most people will just assume your chalkboard is up for decoration so it’s great for people who aren’t out about their practice
You can even make your own chalk with eggshells! For an added kick, infuse the eggshells with herbs or create natural dyes with flowers and other vibrant vegetation.
And if chalk isn’t really your thing, you can buy chalk markers at most craft stores. They’re easier to control with more pigmentation so it makes drawing or writing easier

🌙 moonchild self-care tips 🌙

- keeping an obsidian sphere near your bed for extra protection
- charging your crystals under each full moon
- wearing face masks that make your skin glow (so that you can match our lovely sky Mother)
- drinking moon water to charge when you’re feeling drained
- painting your nails a glittery black, glancing at it during the day so you can always feel close to the night sky

Witchy Grimoire Tip 📒

Whenever I’m writing spells, I try to write them using a colored pen that corresponds or relates to the spell

Making Crystal Grids

A crystal grid is a number of crystals arranged into a particular geometric form creating a particular energy field/beams or vortices of light. The simplest crystal grid is a triangle formed of three crystals. When you form a crystal grid, the crystals should be of equal strength and similar size. You can form a grid of any geometric shape or symbol—each carries its own symbolism and uses. You might leave your grid up for an hour, or for months—whatever feels right, only you can know how long this must take. You might time your gridwork to coincide with a powerful solar eclipse or new or full moon, or you might use seven days (or hours) to heal seven chakras.

• Broadcast your desires to the Universe (as a part of your new moon ritual, for example) by placing a tarot/oracle card or written list in the center
• Increase the power of your crystal or flower essences, medications, other crystals etc.
• Create strong protective boundaries around you or your space
• Clear and charge simple items, like a necklace or talisman
• Make a grid under your bed to promote restful sleep or sexuality
• Make a large crystal grid that encompasses your whole house (or room) to raise the vibration of your whole space
• Use a plus sign or dollar sign shaped grid for prosperity intentions
• Use a simple circle or the caduceus symbol for healing intentions, with the picture of the person in the middle, and stones placed on the area of healing in the picture
• Make a large grid on your floor, then place your body in the center to accomplish a number of purposes (more on this later…)

If you ever feel like you have taken in too much energy afterward, try holding a grounding crystal, taking a salt bath, or walking in nature. Don’t forget to clear your crystals, and ask permission before conducting this sort of work (you will intuitively know if its a “yes” or “no”).

Disenchanting Items

There is a difference between ‘cleansing’ an item and disenchanting it, at least in my book. Psychic and magical dust and grime can get all over objects, especially if they are meant to soak up negative energies or emotions. Cleansing such an item is a removal of unwanted energies, while still leaving the item magically functional. Disenchanting an item is to remove the magic from it altogether, possibly while still retaining the energies within it.
I do not believe all items can be disenchanted. Consider the innate attributes of herbs and stones. You cannot ‘disenchant’ these away from the physical item - that is its nature, not a spell. Likewise some physical objects were crafted specifically to carry magic. It is in their nature to be magical, and they cannot stop being magical, because the magic is intertwined with their physical form.
If the entire enchantment is contained within the item, all you need is the item. Flame is good at destruction and transformation, so it is best if you can have a lit candle or access to natural fire energy such as the Sun. If this is not possible, try conjuring the elemental energy of Fire within yourself, or obtain a destructive source of energy.
If there is any physical markings on the object which are part of the enchantment, remove them. This may include sanding off paint or destroying part of the object. I do not personally believe just covering the markings up will be enough. Then focus on the enchantment itself. Call it to you so that you feel you are in control of it. Announce to the object that it no longer needs the enchantment - it is done. Command the magical programming to go in to the flames or destructive forces you have with you. Burn the enchantment away. Continue your focus until you feel that the object lies empty in your hands.

🌿Lammas Activities🌿

             

Lammas (also called Lughnasadh) is a sabbat from the Wheel of the Year that is celebrated on August 1st to mark the beginning of the harvest season

🌿 Bake! Cooking and sharing food is a great activity for any sabbat, and cooking bread, desserts, meat, and enjoying fruits and vegetables is a great way to celebrate Lammas!
🌿 Enjoy nature! Fall is coming next, so enjoy the fresh air while you can. Invite friends and family on a nature walk or picnic or you can go yourself and embrace the beauty that nature has to offer! Visit a lake, a park, go on a trail, or whatever you want to connect with nature!
🌿 Take care your plants! This is the beginning of the harvest season. Take extra care of your plants and maybe even give them a treat: new soil, a new pot, fresh water, or fertilizer. If it’s time to harvest some fruits or veggies, do so!
🌿 Decorate your altar and/or home! Colors, plants, grains, wreaths, animal prints, and candles are some great ways to decorate your home and/or altar for Lammas!
🌿 Do some crafts! Making crafts is a great way to have fun on Lammas, especially if you’re celebrating with kids! Making corn dolls and corn wheels are a few of the many fun ways to celebrate! Plus, when spring rolls around, you can bury the corn doll or corn wheel in a new garden to help your plants grow.
🌿 Prosperity magic! Lammas is the ideal time to perform prosperity magic, so if you have any prosperity spells hidden in your grimoire or book of shadows, take those out and work some magic!
🌿 Work on your book of shadows or grimoire! A relaxing way to end the day would be to write a few pages in your book, whether you write in spells, information, or a journal entry.
🌿 Finish some projects! If you have some projects nearing an end, Lammas would be a great time to finish those or to make more progress if you can! Not every goal needs to be achieved, but dedicating your time and effort to finishing a few would be a great Lammas activity.
🌿 Make a bonfire! Invite friends and family to a bonfire! While you sit around the fire, share some of your bad or unnecessary habits and how you plan to change or get rid of those habits so you can have renewed strength. If you’re a secret witch, you can just light a candle in your room and privately journal your reflection!
