✨ WELCOME ✨

Hello, stranger! Since this is my magic-dedicated blog, I figured I should use my magical name, Agatha, so please only refer to me like that. I've been studying magic since I was about 14 and got my first tarot cards, so I'm not a baby witch and do know some stuff, but we all have room to grow and if you want to grow together, you'll be more than welcome.

a bit more about me:

I'm a 20-year-old broke immigrant living in Western Europe with my two cats and my fiance. We are both pansexual and have a common love for animals, however he does not share my interest in magic. I'm an eclectic and solitary witch, and have never been interested in forming a coven because I've never felt the energy I needed to share my practice so deeply with another witch. I will not share my location, face, or non-magical name with anyone unless I trust them, and trust takes time. If you wish to know more about me, feel free to check out the #get to know me tag.

index: not done yet, but will be soon

✨ blessed be, motherfuckers ✨

Gentle witch little things

Simple things you can do to bring more love and positivity into the world:

enchant the bus or train you’re on, so that everybody has a pleasant day or a safe travel home

paint protective sigils in the misty windows of buses or shops when it rains, and leave words of encouragement and praise on public bathrooms’ mirrors

bless passing ambulances and firefighter trucks with speed and safety for their patients/destination

wear an enchanted lipstick/gloss for your smile to brighten the day of everybody you meet

enchant your spare change so that it gives luck to the beggars you donate it to; they need it, don’t they?

actually, just enchant your money, so that retail and low-wage workers can have a better day when they serve you

leave blessed acorns and harmless trinkets in various places like buses or waiting rooms; give other people something to wonder about and make their day, and kids an item to roll in their hands mindlessly

bless food and leave it for stray animals; let birds be messangers of hope and miraclous event for everybody that sees them

whisper encouragement to trees and grass you pass by; let them know someone cares, someone sees their beauty, and awaits their bloom

smile at children and pets; provide them with the positive energy that the world is trying to kill in them

leave motivational notes, praise and silly drawings charged with love and hope on post-it notes as you go; they can brighten the day of those that find them

🌹 Healing Potion — for emotional wounds 🌹

This potion is fairly easy to make and has had amazing results with me. Its purpose is to help heal emotional wounds (such as heartbreak, trauma, or any event that caused you to feel bad) as well as empower you to love yourself.

⚠️ WARNING ⚠️ this potion involves blood. it's in a very small amount but it's still worth mentioning.

BEST DONE: if done during the daytime - on a sunny morning; if done during the nighttime - on a new or full moon

INGREDIENTS:

dried pink rose petals

a thorn from a pink rose

cinnamon

lime

moonwater from a full or new moon

honey

PREPARATION:

1- use the dried rose petals, cinnamon, and full moon water to make tea. the amount of rose petals and cinnamon may vary but, at the end, your tea should have a pinkish colour.

2- add a pinch of lime to the already boiled tea, and mix it well.

3- use the thorn to prick your finger until it draws blood, allow one to three drops of it to fall into the tea and mix it once more. you may want to keep the thorn for a protection jar-spell.

4- pour the tea into a cup and use honey as a sweetener, as much as you wish.

5- drink up!

WHAT IS A FAMILIAR: a familiar is a witch's helper that can come in the form of an animal, spirit, or demon. it's not necessary for a witch to have a familiar, but sometimes it happens, and sometimes it happens more than once, such as my case.

HOW TO FIND YOUR FAMILIAR: finding your own little helper is personal and happens in a different way every time, but there are a few guidelines to recognize them. a familiar will usually have a vibrant connection to the witch, especially while they practice witchcraft, and will willingly participate during the some of the witch's rituals or spells.

HOW TO TREAT YOUR FAMILIAR: a familiar is a helper, yes, but not a slave. it's purpose is to protect you as much as you protect them, care for you as much as you care for them, so treat them with the utmost respect. if your familiar is an animal, please be sure to care for their physical well-being, as sometimes the ways we do magic may be harmful for them.

MY FAMILIARS: Mia and Momo

because their personalities are so different, they don't always get along and will sometimes interrupt me with their fights while i'm preparing the room, but they always make up and go back to loving each other at the end, peace is restored, and i can resume my activities.

🔥 types of witches: fire witch edition 🔥

[agathanyx]

🌿 types of witches: green/ forest witch edition 🌿

these witches practice mainly outside and try to work as closely with nature as possible. sometimes they are collectors of stones and crystals, sometimes they are devotees of deities that portray Mother Earth such as nymphs and satyrs or Gaia, and sometimes they are do things in an entirely different way. there are many possible subcategories to these witches, but what they all have in common is their love for all the gifts Earth provides us.

✨ Calling Nyx ✨

On a previous post, I talked about the Greek goddess of the night, Nyx. This is a guide on how to call to her, either to ask her for something or to simply show your devotion. This is a fairly simple ritual but that, if done correctly, will energise you while also giving you peace.

BEST DONE:

at night, preferably when the sky is at its darkest

preferably when the moon and/or the stars are visible

ITEMS NEEDED:

one 7-day candle, either black, dark purple or dark blue

one piece of silver jewelry that you either already wear every day or you intend to from now on

two cups

red wine (replace with fresh grape juice if you're underage)

either lavender or dama da noite (a brazilian flower which the name translates to lady of the night) incense

bay leaves (if you intend to make ask her for something)

PREPARATION:

1- choose and clean the room in which the ritual will take place with the windows open, then burn the sage or rosemary to cleanse it. do it somewhere the sky is visible.

2- wear makes you feel good. put on make-up, do your hair, wear a special outfit (preferably dark colours), whatever generates confidence.

3- open the windows and leave them open. gather the items you'll need and prepare to start.

INSTRUCTIONS:

1- light the candle and breathe in and out several times. allow yourself to feel the spirit of the night.

2- say a prayer/ sing/ dance, whatever you feel is right at the moment. celebrate the night, celebrate the goddess, and celebrate your devotion to her.

3- once you've finished, say "I call on you Nyx, goddess of the night".

4- get your jewelry piece and cleans it with the fire from the candle while saying "I call on you Nyx, tamer of men and gods, keeper of secrets, giver of fertility."

5- hold the jewelry up to the sky and say "I call on you Nyx, patron of the witches, to bless this ring/necklace/bracelet. I call on you to protect me and guide me, for as long as I offer my heart to you."

6- pour the red wine into the cups. place one of them by the candle, and raise the other to the sky and then drink it. leave the other one.

7- if you wish to ask Nyx for anything, pick up your bay leaves and burn them one by one while you tell her your desires. be detailed, show your heart, and she will listen.

8- light your incense and leave it together with the cup and the candle. the candle should burn for the following 7 days, and everyday you should change the wine from the cup.

⚠️ ATTENTION ⚠️

if the wind blow out the candle you can just light it back up again, however if the candle goes out on it's on, it's a sign something went wrong during the ritual and you should do it again.
