Nails by Michiko Matsushita, 1999 Matsushita took tiny computer parts and wires and embedded them under clear acrylic. She then took wire and metal and wrapped it carefully around the model’s fingers and hands, as it to remind us that it is not just about the nails…hand care, as well as client care, is just as important in the new millennium.

☽ Bonding with a New Deck ☾

A deck is just that, a deck of cards. It’s the energy and bonding you do that makes it yours, and makes it work. Decks often have a vibe or energy when you get them, then it’s just time for the bonding. So, how do you do that?

Sleeping next to your deck: It sounds strange, but it really helps. Just like sleeping in the bed with someone can really strengthen and grow your relationship, same goes for your deck. I normally just pop mine in with my pillow case and sleep on ‘em for a few days.

Deck interview: Exactly what it sounds like. Yes or no questions work great, but open ended questions work best for me. Ask you deck a question, and pull a card. Good questions include

What kind of reading are you good for? (Love, money, school, personal, for clients, ect)

Are you going to do accurate readings?

Do you feel connected with me?

Are you feminine or masculine?

What’s your vibe?

Shuffle: Just shuffle. Think about stuff, meditate, and shuffle away.

Take your deck on a “date”: Just talk about stuff. Watch TV with it. Take it to a movie and then ask it if it liked the movie. See if you get along with it. You know, date stuff.

Do a reading for something you know about: For example, say I tell my deck about two lovers. Jack and Rose, they come from different places, different classes, but are deeply in love. How does their love end? If I pull the ten of swords, you know that the deck is can cynical but practical. If I pull the five if cups, you know your deck is frank but kind. If I pull the six of swords, you know your deck is kind and optimistic. You know?

This all being said, none of this is set in stone. You don’t like em? You don’t feel like they’ll work? Don’t do em. It’s your deck, it’s your life, it’s your decision.

Bed magic (for my spoonie witches):

The setup: 🌟-Sigils placed under your mattress for pain-free rest and anything else you need! 🌟-Place crystals under your pillow (or in the case) for restful sleep or a specific use. I often place amethyst and Quartz under my pillow for headaches! 🌟-Hang herb sachets above your bed. 🌟-Keep any supplies you want nearby in case you become bedridden.

Bedridden witchy things: 🌸-Play with spare bits of energy in the room. 🌸-Listen to music that makes you feel witchy/powerful. 🌸-Wash your face with a pre-prepared cleansing spray (add herbs and such). 🌸-If possible, open a window for at least five minutes and soak in the sensations of the outside world. 🌸-Read a witchy book/write in your grimoire. 🌸-Hold your crystals or keep them near you. 🌸-Washing your sheets/blankets/pillow case = the ultimate cleanse. 🌸-Meditate and work on breathing. 🌸-Spend some time with your tarot cards or pendulum (you don’t have to use them though!). 🌸-Do some dream magick. 🌸-Drink some herbal tea.

Remember, your witchiness isn’t based on your ability to practice all the time. It’s perfectly acceptable to take as long as you need when you aren’t feeling great.

(This is okay for everyone to reblog and use btw.)

10 OF SWORDS 

If you asked me to describe my spiritual awakening, this image does so profoundly. Although initially it may appear like a tragic defeat, it is actually the ultimate liberation. This is the death of an old way of being… of an old way of thinking. You can become paralyzed by your own mind. Those piercing fear based thoughts and anxieties weigh heavily on the psyche, and ultimately manifest in the body. It can all become so heavy that you can barely keep your head up… and you just collapse.

• This is the 10 of swords. The number 10 in tarot signifies completion, and the swords represent the element of air which correlates to the mental realm. It is surrendering to the pain, rather than trying to escape it that will free you. It is indeed a painful process, but in surviving it you realize that your’e a warrior… and you remember that your spirit is indestructible and your soul is eternal. • After having been exposed to this much agony, I have to tell you that the healing process is not instantaneous. If you’ve experienced, or are experiencing a similar energy, you must give yourself time to heal. Even amidst the darkest times you can find a gentle, calming energy. It’s all about your perspective. This is the dawning of a new day. Look at the still water in the image which provides a soothing peaceful energy. Focus on the rising of the sun which will eventually fully eradicate any darkness that has weighed you down. Imagine the sun warming your body and giving you life. Picture the water gently washing over you, cleansing your wounds. Take your time and slowly start removing the swords one by one, and allow yourself to get up again, feeling lighter than ever. • I hope that 2018 is a very healing, empowering year for you. Be patient with wherever you are in your journey. Stay committed to your goals no matter how many setbacks or obstacles come your way. Remember “the mind is a wonderful servant, but a terrible master.” Don’t allow yourself to ever feel this defeated again. Your potential is far greater than you know, and you’re being offered the opportunity this year to reclaim your power. Rise to the occasion.

I stumbled across this beautiful piece of polished selenite and knew I had to have it.

Selenite is a high vibrational stone of transformation. It can be used to activate dormant abilities and remove energetic blocks.

It’s an excellent stone to use for enhancing the properties of other gems and minerals and is a powerful dispeller of negative energies.

[learntolive-again]

I made an offering to Persephone today-

I used-

-Blueberry wine -Rose Water -Lily, Violet, and Lemon essential oils -Dried rose petals and lavender -An acorn from a tree in the cemetary my sister and grandmother are buried in. (I liked that it incorporated both life and death, and its really personal) -A red and a black candle -A smaller pink candle -Snowflake obsidian, clear quartz, and a chunk of rose quartz -Vanilla incense -Three dried rose stems that I burned for her. (This acts a lot like incense and I love doing it) -A pheasant feather

I really hope she likes it-

Witch Tips for City Witches

City Witch Tips for all of my fellow witches stuck in apartments, dorms or other city areas.

If you can’t burn incense you can make your own sprayable incense by mixing alcohol (usually vodka or rubbing) with essential oils and a bit of oil, spray in the air to act like incense

If you are unable to go outside for whatever reason to get rain water (in my case just no where to collect it safely), fill a jar or glass with regular water and keep it near a cracked window to charge it with the wind, sound and scent of the rain outside. Same goes for storm water

Trapped in city and unable to get ocean water? Sea salt mixed with rain/storm water can be an excellent substitute

To continue on with water substitutes, if you can’t collect snow crushed ice from your fridge will suffice

Low key warding/protection you can use: spray moon water, salt water or sprayable incense about your apartment or dorm, place sigils under doormats, furniture, inside cupboards, etc; place crystals about hidden or out in the open, sweep and dust out the door or towards windows

If you need melted wax to seal a jar or for any other magical purpose, but can’t burn candles, by a wax melter and melt that wax and imagine the light from the burner acting like a flame (plus they are rather cheap, I got mine for 25 bucks)

Need stars in your craft but too much light pollution? Glow in the dark stars on your ceiling or wall can work just as well for visualization. Print out pictures of your favorite constellations or planets and place them up on your walls or on your altar. Live video feed of the night sky can also be easily found on the internet

Bath magic is amazing for low-key ‘in the woods’ witches. Use teas, milk, oils, herbs, bath bombs, bubble baths, salts, etc that relate to your intent. It is also a good place to meditate if you have roommates or family around that would disturb you otherwise

If you do for whatever reason need to burn a candle, birthday candles are small, melt fast, and don’t create a lot of smoke or smokey scent

Sigils are another great low-key form of magic. To boost them up, use color magic related to the color you draw them in, write them using quills made of feathers related to your intent, use colored paper, rub a drop of essential oil on them, charge them with crystals or in your windowsill

You don’t have to burn sigils to activate them, which is hardly an option when you are in a dorm or apartment. Other options are: Shredding them, erasing them, soaking them in a bath or shower, using body heat or your own pulse, etc

Miss having the outdoors and plants around? Windowsill gardens can really help. Small plants you can consider keeping in your windowsill or counter-tops: succulents, cacti, bamboo, lemongrass, basic, rosemary, mint, rosemary, mosses, aloe, snake plant, pothos (and other vines), carrots, beets, shallots, lettuce, spinach, garlic, chives, parsley, oregano, thyme, and marigold

Open your window to let the wind and air from outside to help energize you and clear out negative energies inside

Fun places to put sigils: under furniture, carved into soap, onto shampoo/conditioner bottles, on your make up, inside phone cases, in shoes, under bandages, sewn into pillow cases and blankets, behind pictures in frames, underside of nail polish, carved into wax squares for your wax melter, keys and keychains, behind mirrors or in medicine cabinets, on bookmarks, on or in binders and pencil cases, on medicine bottles, and water bottles/travel mugs

Easy to make and dispose of poppets: carrot sticks (one of my personal favorites), apples or other fruit, clothe, paper, popsicle sticks, paper towels/napkins, toilet paper rolls, eggs, celery stocks, and cotton balls

The internet is an amazing thing. Need some sounds to help you focus or meditate? Easily look up the sounds of rain, storms, wind, ocean waves, jungles, forests, etc

Christmas lights are fun and great way to use discrete witchcraft. Select ones in the colors you wish for them to bring ie green for growth, yellow for inspiration, white for protection, purple for psychic abilities, etc. 

Some everyday things you can use for discrete witchcraft that don’t cost much at all or that you most likely already have: water, table salt, black pepper, paper, crayons/pencils/pens/markers, vinegar, milk, tea, highlighters, make up and beauty supplies, shampoo and conditioner, rubber bands, paperclips, thumbtacks, computer/phone/tablet, music/music player, playing cards, dice, air freshener, perfumes, toothpaste, rice, flour, sugar, honey, and all kitchen herbs and seasonings.

Can’t afford gemstones or crystals on college budget? Crackle and dyed quartz you can find super cheap at craftstores and online. I bought a whole bag for 4 bucks. Use them based on their colors and shapes. Can’t afford that but still want to use rocks in your craft? Find some rocks you like outside, again use their colors and shapes to determine their correspondences. Want to use them for a specific purpose? Paint sigils on them in the color that corresponds with what you want! Charge them in your windowsill or with your own energy and intent. There you go!

Pocket mirrors are cheap, easy to carry around and great for glamours and on the go magic. 

Seriously though, glamour spells are going to be a good option for you. use your make up, skin products, hair care products, brushes/combs, perfume, mirrors, toothbrush/toothepaste and intent. Good to do while you are getting ready for your day

Dream magic is another friend of the city witch! Use crystals, sigils, herbs, etc near your bed before you go to sleep, drink some chamomile, get yourself a dream journal (mine is literally a notebook with construction paper on it), keep it and a pen near you. In the morning write down your dreams, your thoughts, how you feel (tired, refreshed, groggy, etc), and interpret them. 

Can’t afford tarot cards? Print out some, you can usually find them online and they won’t last as long as a real deck but it is a good temporary solution. Want a Ouija board but can’t keep one or need it to be easily hidden? Print one out, draw on one on paper or cardboard, fold it up and store it once you are done. Want a pendulum but can’t afford one? Use your favorite necklace, bracelet or keychain!

Tea and coffee magic is great, make your own tea blends with the herbs you like. Or just buy simple green or black tea and add sugar, milk, etc depending on your intentions

As I said before, crock pot magic. The Modern Cauldron: brew and cook all day with it, fill your apartment with the scent of the herbs and food to fill it with the energies they correspond with and you get a delicious meal to come home to! Most dorms allow them. Rice cookers also work well.

Can’t afford fresh food? Have to survive on ramen, canned soup, and microwaved meals? That is okay! They even correspond with things! Tomato soup for love, beauty and passion. Beef ramen noodles for strength, courage and longevity. Microwave mac n cheese for beauty and feminity. Look at their ingredients and what they correspond with. Sure its not as glamorous as a making a huge made by scratch traditional meal but its kitchen magic none the less. Stir it with your intent while you cook. It isn’t fancy but it works just as well!

Use a notebook or binder for a nice grimoire, decorate it as much as you want on the inside. Print out pictures of nature, animals, planets, stars, places, crystals, etc that you cant’ access/afford and use them in your craft. Spell books and grimoires are powerful tools

Don’t have a wand? Use a wooden spoon. Tie a colored string or ribbon to it to correspond with what energy you want it to have and move and flick it as you would a wand. 

Knitting, crocheting, and knot magic is very apartment friendly. As well as sewing and embroidering plus it is super calming.

Glitter, sequins, and beads are great in witchcraft! Use their colors to determine their correspondences. Put them in spell jars, sachets, bottles, etc. Glitter tip: if you spill any don’t fret, get some packing tape, wrap it around your hand with the sticky part outwards and dab at that glitter spill. You will literally pick up all of the glitter in seconds!

Enchant and charge your pots, pans, skillets, and other cookware to make every meal magical

Make moonwater in your windowsills. Use it for cleansing, beauty, divination, clarity, protection and purification

Take walks. Even if it is a city there is still nature about. Pigeons flying about, potted flowers outside of stores, grass growing in front lawns, etc. Enjoy yourself, even if it is not some wild, vast forest you can still connect with your local nature.

Pick up litter or garbage you see outside, being in the city we all see it. The natural world around you will appreciate you helping out. Bring a bag with you when you take your walks or travel and fill it with wrappers you see on the ground.

I hope this was helpful to all of my fellow city and dorm witches!
