I bought some crystals yesterday! Amethyst, blue lace agate, blue calcite, rose quartz, tiger’s eye, obsidian, and clear quartz. I’ve been looking up meanings and how to cleanse them and stuff

[recreationalwitchcraft]

Cleansing Crystals Methods  

1.  Pass them through incense smoke. 

An easy way to rid any clinging energy from your crystals is to pass them through a stream of incense smoke. Not only does this method also cleanse your space, but you can re-charge your crystals for a new purpose at the same time. We recommend using frankincense for basic cleansing, benzoin resin for bringing calm, and dragon’s blood for increasing energy vibrations.

2.  Dip them in charged water.

Place them in a bowl of water charged under the full moon, or submerge them in a naturally running stream to send negative energies away. In the winter, crystals can be buried in the snow for a few hours with the same effect. Water is a powerful energy-force and giver of life, well suited to cleansing people and tools alike. Make note that this method is not suitable for porous or metallic crystals. 

3.  Cover them in sea salt. 

Take a container made of a natural substance (like glass, wood, ceramic) and fill the bottom with sea salt. Add in your crystals, then cover with more salt. Wait at least one day, then take them out and they’re ready to use. Salt is one of the greatest energy purifiers out there, and it’s also easy and cheap to come by. Sea salt is preferred because the most natural and absorptive type of salt.

4.  Let them bathe in the moonlight.

The simplest (and safest) way to cleanse your beauties is to let them soak up the purifying energy of the moonlight. Lay them out on the night of the full moon where the soft, purifying glow of the moonlight can illuminate them, then bring them inside come morning. Placing them on a window sill with moonlight is a suitable alternative if you cannot place them outdoors.

Birds as Omens

Today, my boyfriend inspired me to do a post about birds and what they are as omens. He got freaked out because he said a black bird came and pecked him.

So, lets delve into that for a bit.

Black birds such as crows and ravens have this stigma attached to them that somehow they’re “bad luck” or that they bring death and all sorts of superstitions of that nature. This is probably due to the fact that predominately in literature and even movies they’re glamorized as an animal of misfortune. Just read a story by Edgar Allen Poe lol

This is far from the truth. Black birds are actually a GOOD sign. They’re a sign that prosperity, passage, and/or protection. In fact, I told my boyfriend that the bird was probably just trying to get his attention because the bird’s probably like hellllloooo dude, I’m trying to tell you something good is going to happen! Pay attention to me! So he got pecked lol. They are tricksters too, after all! When we think of animals, a lot of the time we just think of fellow creatures who inhabit and share the earth with us. But they’re sometimes more than that. They can act as familiar and spirits of the Earth.

Owls on the other hand? Yeah, they are the ones who are actually an ill omen. Owls are beautiful. They’re majestic. They hold an air of mystery. However, if you see an owl or one comes to you, usually that means that there will be an impending death to someone you know. Not you, necessarily. But someone you know.

If you see a blue jay, it’s time to rethink your life. It’s a sign that you’re doing too much at once and you need to commit to one thing instead of stressing over a bunch of different things. It’s also a sign to stand your ground with others around you and can even mean someone close to you is lying or trying to pull something over on you.

Cardinals are known to be encouragers. If you see a cardinal, it’s letting you know to stay confident and believe in yourself. You’re on the right path.

Hawks bring blessings and good news as well.

A dead bird in your path signifies turmoil and personal destruction coming to an end. So, it’s actually a good sign. It doesn’t mean you’re going to die.

Of course, everyone’s own experiences are different. Sometimes, you just have to listen to what nature is trying to say and inform you. If you have any questions about a particular bird or want to add anything to the list, let me know! Or you can just reblog anything you would like to add💚

Much love to all of you 💚🙏🏼💚🙏🏼

Science and Witchcraft are not enemies

A scientist will tell you that our cells are powered by combustion reactions. Combustion is just another word for the reactions involved in Fire.

A scientist will explain that your blood is the same salinity as the oceans were 3.6 billion years ago, when living creatures first incorporated circulated Water into their basic structure - the precursors of blood.

A scientist might teach you about the millions of tiny chambers in our lungs called alveolar sacs that inflate and deflate every time we breathe, allowing our blood to mix with Air to feed our cells.

A scientist could tell you about the many minerals and metals that make up our bodies, from the metal in our bones to the phosphorus in our DNA, constructing our bodies out of Earth.

Our bodies are made of Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Spirit - the Elements of Magick

They’re also made of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, sulphur, iron, chlorine, potassium, sodium, and a million other elements and compounds - the Elements of Science

The Elements of Science and the Elements of Magick are not mutually exclusive. 

Science and Witchcraft are not mutually exclusive.

You can be a scientifically-minded Witch, or a Witchcraft-practicing scientist, or anything in between. Your magick does not have to conflict with your science, and your Elements of Magick can be the same as your Elements of Science. 

Illuminate the worlds of science and Witchery with your knowledge and your light. Let yourself shine, a beacon of bright knowledge and wisdom in the night of ignorance and fear.

When to cast spells?

DAY: 

SUNDAY: (ruled by the sun) is the proper day of the week to perform spells and rituals involving banishing evil, exorcism, healing and prosperity. Colours: orange, white, yellow. MONDAY: (ruled by the moon) is the proper day of the week to perform spells and rituals involving purification, protection, peace, the goddess, female fertility, messages, reconciliation, theft and voyages. Colours: silver, white, grey. TUESDAY: (ruled by mars) is the proper day of the week to perform spells and rituals involving courage, energy, physical strength, stimulation, banishing negativity, revenge, military honour, courage, surgery and the breaking of negative spells. Colours: red, orange. WEDNESDAY: (ruled by mercury) is the proper day of the week to perform spells and rituals involving communication, divination, writing, knowledge, wisdom, study and business transactions. Colours: yellow, grey, purple, and all opalescent hues. THURSDAY: (ruled by Jupiter) is the proper day of the week to perform spells and rituals involving luck, wealth, happiness, health, legal matters, male fertility, healing animals and agriculture. Colours: blue, brown. FRIDAY: (ruled by Venus) is the proper day of the week to perform spells and rituals involving love, romance, beauty, sex, marriage, friendships and partnerships. Colours: pink.

Colours: black, blue, grey, purple. Incense: black poppy seeds, myrrh.

Lunar Phase:

It is also EXTREMLY important that magick spells and rituals be performed during the correct lunar phase. A “rule of thumb” to remember regarding moon phases is if your working is tailored towards receiving or gaining something, perform your spell during a waxing or full moon - if you wish to rid yourself of something, perform your spell during the waning moon - for new beginnings, the new moon phase is best. * NEW MOON (begins on the day of the new moon to three-and-a-half days after). Use the energy of the new moon for new ventures and new beginnings. Also use the new moon for love spells, job hunting, and healing. *A WAXING MOON (seven to fourteen days after the new moon) is the proper time to perform positive magick such as love spells, magick for wealth and success, courage, friendship, luck or good health. *A FULL MOON increases extrasensory perception and is the proper time to perform lunar Goddess invocations, fertility rituals and spells that increase psychic abilities and prophetic dreams. Any spellwork that requires extra energy, such as finding a new job or healing serious conditions, is best begun during the full moon. *A WANING MOON (three-and-a-half to ten-and-a-half days after the full moon) is the proper time to perform destructive magick, negative incantations, and spells that remove curses, hexes, and jinxes, end bad relationships, reverse love spells, banish negativity, break bad habits, cure addictions and decrease fevers, pains and sickness. source: (x)

Sharp Melody: the Magic of Music

I was asked to turn this into my own official post, so I’ll do that and save it in the Grimoire for my followers to read at their leisure.  I’m expanding upon it for the purpose of my Hylian Sorcery work, as it’s been a while since I wrote something pertinent in that vein.

As a huge fan of the magical practices of Europe in general, but especially Northern and Western Europe and the British Isles, I studied the practices and folklore about bardic magic and minstrelsy for several years.  In recent years, I’ve expanded upon the kernels of musical magic practice I’ve found, and turned them into a viable tradition.  That tradition sat on a shelf and I didn’t use it for much of anything, as I love singing but I can’t play instruments or read music or anything really useful.

Imagine my surprise when I started working out the Hylian magicks… and discovered that my musical magic practice might in fact be useful.

Now, my favorite piece of lore was the one about the three kinds of magical music:

geantraighe, music of joy and animation and motivation

goltraighe, music of sorrow and release

suantraighe, music of sleep and fascination

These fascinated me.  And when added into the practice of Hylian Sorcery, the three kinds of magic become actually very significant indeed.  Each associates with a different one of the three goddesses, you see.  Din, for example, connects to geantraighe, the magic and music of Earth.  Nayru’s magic is goltraighe (which incidentally is also about love and emotion, in addition to sorrow), connected to the magic of Time (which heals all wounds).  And of course, Farore, who wields the magic of Wind, also summons the music of suantraighe.

In addition, these are the guidelines of magical music in the Hylian tradition, which I pieced together from various places (some fictional, some folkloric)-

When making music, the instrument is your “circle.”  It sets the stage for your singing or chanting.  Other methods might include singing in a group with other voices acting as the “circle.”  Either way, the solo voice/ main thread is the casting agent of an actual spell, and the instrument creates a circle of force around them.  The instrument played doesn’t even have to be a melodic one- a simple rattle will do.

The power of the song is in the voice, not the words.  The words merely direct the power, giving the listener something to latch onto while the wave of force is carried on the song.  Sometimes the words confine and bind the power too, which I liked- I’m a wordy person.  But it interested me that someone could sing a simple song that had nothing to do with spell-breaking, and instead had to do with weeping about lost love, and one could use it to break a curse.

True enchantment doesn’t even require a subject to hear the song.  It’s the power of the caster which is moved by the song’s magic, and sometimes that’s all that’s needed.  Of course, if the subject is also a listener, the spell will often hold longer.  But I liked the knowledge that I could sing into something’s spirit without having to actually be in audible range.

For fictional references, I recommend the Mermaid’s Madness by Jim C Hines, the Spellsong Cycle by L E Modesitt Jr. and the Bedlam Bard series by Mercedes Lackey, for starters.

As for folklore… well, you’ll probably do well by starting your research in Irish harper and bardic traditions, like I did.

[cachien]

Honestly there’s something deeply moving about reading something about a deity and feeling it resonate in your soul, and suddenly it’s as if this ancient being is there with you, helping you breathe, and you want nothing more than to lay under the stars and feel that presence.

[greengiver-blog]

Guided imagery exercise to connect to the elements

Shake your limbs to relax yourself. Settle down with your spine straight and take our time taking three breaths with your surroundings, then allow your mind to linger on the words: earth, air, fire, water.

Earth. You have imagined the earth beneath your feet. Now think of the many manifestations of earth on the planet. Feel your feet on the earth of your choice… marshland, desert, forest, mountains, hills and valleys, sandstone, granite, chalk. Feel, with the pressure of your feet against the earth, the pull of gravity, keeping you anchored. Feel the current of energy from the earth throbbing upwards. You are a creature of earth. Relax into this feeling, and then open your awareness out and find yourself in a high place…

Air. Feel the air as a tangible presence as you gaze out to the vast horizon, laid out below the huge arching dome of the azure sky. In this high place, your awareness expands: the great winds of the earth, swirling round, think and pure, sharpen your wits and blow the cobwebs away. You breathe in air that sparkles like wine and are intoxicated, feeling yourself light and buoyant, You extend your arms above you as if you could float on the thermals that support the birds in their flight, feeling at one with the wind that carries messages all over the world. Stand firm, as your awareness is pulled high into the sky…

Fire. High in the vast expanse of blue, feel the blaze of the sun, striking down, warming the thin grass and bursting the buds of the alpine flowers, drying up the atmosphere. With your eyes shut, stretch in an attitude of ecstasy, fed by the warmth that pours down in golden rays. The water is pulled up into the upper atmosphere and you open your eyes to see a large cloud on the horizon. Watch it travelling with speed, and whilst it is in the middle distance in that huge vista, you see it disgorging its rain as a hazy mist over the landscape…

Water. In your imagination, see the rain from that cloud sinking into the soil, percolating through the ground to a deep subterranean spring that makes its gradual way to the surface. There is a tiny trickle of crystal water emerging from the ground, and you see it in your mind’s eye gaining strength as it tumbles downhill, changing eventually from stream to river, and making its way to join the massive depth of the sea.

Allow the scene to fade as you come back to everyday reality. Stretch, yawn, and wriggle to feel fully back in the present here and now.

Gem Water

Gem water is water that has been exposed to crystals so that the water can be encoded with the energy of the crystals. You are left with very useful and high frequency water.

There are three main things to keep in mind when you are going to make a gem elixir.

1. Toxicity

Do NOT place crystals into your drinking water without checking for toxicity. Most crystals within the quartz family are safe for drinking water, like amethyst. Always check first.

2. Use

Some uses are baths, sprays, and taking a few drops at a time like you would with a flower essence.

3. Desired Potency

Do you want something that is really strong and energetically potent? Or did you just want to add a small boost to the water you are using?

Ways to increase potency:

Astrological correspondences

Adding other ingredients, such as herbs

Leaving the water to be exposed to the crystals for a longer period of time

Exposing the water to an appropriate colored light

Methods for creating gem water:

Drinking glass method (for nontoxic crystals)

Simply place your crystal(s) in your water glass and leave for at least an hour.

Glass with lid method (for nontoxic crystals)

Find a glass container with a lid (a jar works) and fill it with water and your chosen crystal(s). Leave it overnight, or longer. (Outside during a full moon is appropriate)

Crystal next to or under glass method (for toxic crystals)

For toxic crystals, place the crystal either under or next to the water container. Never inside of it.

Different gem water recipes to try:

Moonstone, ametrine (or amethyst), and rose quartz for balancing hormones and PMS

Labradorite, rainbow fluorite (in the green, blue, and purple range), and blue calcite for meditation and astral travel

Rose quartz, aquamarine for healing acne 

Smokey quartz, hematite, and black obsidian for grounding

Black tourmaline and amethyst for protection 

Apache tear, lepidolite, and azurite-malachite for emotional balance/healing

I have seen little to no origami being infused with witchcraft! Kind of disappointed, so i came up with a list to inspire some witches that like origami/closet witches that are looking for a peaceful simple spell/etc. -draw a sigil/write a spell on a piece of paper, and fold it into a star/boat/bird/basket/ mainly anything that can hold stuff. Make a wood raft and put the origami on top. Add herbs and such that apply to the spell or activate/charge your sigil, then send it off on a lake or river. I suggest using paper that is safe and can decompose/not harm wildlife (or float it on a private body of water, because i didn’t think this through very well haha!) -there’s this thing called a popper/snapper and when you thrust it down it makes a loud noise! Use this to call/gain attention from a spirit or deity. Use it as you scatter salt. Use it as a banishing tool. They’re amazing, and with the right paper, can be pretty loud. -fold an origami heart box filled with charmed chocolates and give to a lover. Alternative: use folded hearts as pockets to hold roses and use as a sachet spell/charm. -add origami butterflies to a garden as decor to attract spirits/fae

Aura/Energy Color Meanings

This list is based off of resources I have found as well as my personal experiences.

As with all correspondences, this is a place to start from, not the end-all be-all of color meanings.
