We tend to move into something small and cozier of places when we’re depressed. By turning into a blanket-roll, or moving into walk-in closets, or to a mini tent set-up, we tend to form our own cocoons to rest ourselves, to hide away from the watch-y eyes of the world, to explore through a pile of reasons. We yearn for the proximity with ourselves, the unmatched closeness. We develop a want to be hugged either by a person, or clothes, or blanket, or the places we get in. We rummage for a shield to shelter us, to nurture the broken heart with all the warmth that the proximity radiates.

Hot take but you can’t learn about paganism without also learning about white supremacy and how it uses pagan religions to push hate group agendas all over the world today. If you don’t learn about the connections between the two and how it operates, your ignorance enables white supremacists to keep on doing it and using it to recruit others. People in our community who do nothing and stay silent are literally a part of the problem, there is no opting out whatsoever. Divorcing the two makes the issue repeat itself over and over and over again.

It’s not hard to include this in your research and stay aware. It’s the bare minimum.

Planet Invocation ✨

To invoke something is to invite it into yourself for assistance in magickal workings. 

Items required:

Visualization

Incense associated with your chosen planet

Instructions:

Planet invocation can be performed inside or outside

Using a star map or an app on your mobile device, locate your chosen planet in the sky

Light the incense

Face the direction of the planet and either stand or sit comfortably

With the palms of your hands facing the direction of the planet (either face up or face down, depending on it’s location in the northern or southern hemisphere), meditate on your intent

When you’ve reached a calm or even trance-like state of mind, recite one of the following incantations, whichever corresponds to your chosen planet and intent

I call upon the Moon, ruler of serenity, to aid me in my work

I call upon the Sun, ruler of nobility, to aid me in my work

I call upon Mercury, ruler of intellect, to aid me in my work

I call upon Venus, ruler of love, to aid me in my work

I call upon Mars, ruler of passion, to aid me in my work

I call upon Jupiter, ruler of prosperity, to aid me in my work

I call upon Saturn, ruler of chaos, to aid me in my work

I call upon Uranus, ruler of intuition, to aid me in my work

I call upon Neptune, ruler of the unconscious, to aid me in my work

I call upon Pluto, ruler of transformation, to aid me in my work 

Continue to meditate on your intent, feeling the planet’s energy surrounding you and entering your body

Once you feel a warm, tingly feeling rush over you, you will be able to direct that energy into your magickal working

Let the incense burn while you’re performing your spell or ritual and be sure to supervise it until it burns out

Always remember to ground your energy or send it back into the cosmos when finished

Feel free to substitute the trait of the planet you’re invoking (i.e. serenity, nobility, intellect, love, passion, prosperity, chaos, intuition, unconscious, and transformation) for whatever you feel is appropriate for that planet.

Witch Tip

To bless and cleanse your room with music, find the note that resonates in that room and sing it/play it/hum it/make a little song around that note + one or two around it and go around, making your room resonate with that note, and fill that note with the intent of cleansing/blessing.

Bonus! The higher the note, the higher the vibration. 

Bonus Bis! Crystals and objects also usually have a note that makes them vibrate, use that for your crystals/objects to consecrate and charge em!

“To see with eyes unclouded”  (gif)

How to make a Princess Mononoke magickal tea:

After watching this amazing film, I felt very inspired by Ashitaka’s quest to “see with eyes unclouded”. The wording was so beautiful that I just had to do something witchy with it. So here it is, a magickal tea recipe that will help you see the world with fresh eyes.

What you will need:

- One lemon

- A few sage leaves

- A stick of celery

- A few dandelion flowers

Step one:

Collect ingredients and place in a mortar and pestle. Squeeze a lemon over the ingredients.

Step two:

Perform any magickal invocations necessary. I lit a few candles, put on the Princess Mononoke soundtrack and spoke a few lines of enchantment. You can be as lavish or simple as you want; it’s the intention that counts.

Step three:

Crush ingredients until they form a semi-paste. You shouldn’t be able to discern which ingredient is which.

Step four:

Strain the remaining liquid from the mortar and pestle into a teacup. There shouldn’t be much - probably around half a tablespoon of liquid.

Step five:

Boil the kettle and pour hot water into your cup. Wait until it cools slightly, then drink up! 

If, like me, you aren’t fond of the taste, feel free to take a few sips then pour the remaining liquid out into the garden.
