Witchy Beginnings

this is me exploring something new, and trying to find meaning in my own life, 22, living in the Bible belt

Motherfucking Lavender Lemonade

Five simple fucking ingredients in this bitch right here. This is some good shit to make when you are feeling bougie as fuck. High-fructose corn syrup? Naw son, I don’t play that. Hit this with some vodka though, different story. Max relax.

LAVENDER LEMONADE

5 cups of water

½ -¾ cup sugar (yeah, it is fucking lemonade. without the sugar it is just real sour fucking water)

¾ cup Meyer lemon juice, about 6 lemons (you can just use the regular lemons at the store too, not a dealbreaker)

juice of half a lime

4 sprigs of fresh lavender

Bring the water to a boil in a medium pot. Add the sugar and simmer that shit on a low heat for about 5 minutes. Make sure to stir it on the regular. The sugar should be all dissolved in the water by now with no little fucking grains rolling around in there. Turn off the heat and stir in the lemon juice, lime juice, and lavender. Let it cool until it is around room temperature. Take the lavender pieces out but use a fucking spoon and not your fingers if you are going to serve that shit to other people. Put the lemonade in the fridge to cool down all the way. Serve with lemon wedges and a pinch of dried lavender if you want it to look fucking impressive.

makes about 1 quart of chill the fuck out

✨Witchy Uses For Tea✨

A good way to unwind and replenish your energy after a spell or ritual is to relax with some tea.

🌱TEA TYPES🌿

Green tea- fire, passion, healing, love, sexuality

Oolong tea- reflection, wisdom, concentration

Black tea- earth, water, strength, stability, energy, cleansing

White tea- happiness, wisdom, purification (compliments moon energy very well)

Rose tea: love, compassion, psychic abilities, good luck, protection

Herbal tea- very versatile; best uses depend on herbs used. Examples are peppermint, spearmint, rooibos, etc.

✨ WITCHY USES 💫

If you are performing a ritual or spell that involves sending positive energies out into the universe, steep the tea nearby while it is taking place. Drink the tea when you are done- this will allow you to replenish your energies, leaving you less drained

Brew loose tea and read the tea leaves!

Drizzle honey into the tea in sigil patterns. Stirring the tea charges it (clockwise if you are attracting something, counterclockwise if you are banishing something) and drinking it activates it!

Brew your tea with distilled drinking water that has been charged with the sun/moon to give your magic a boost!

Make your own tea blends to compliment and refine your intent

Store tea leaves/tea bags near crystal grids to charge them before brewing- the longer you charge and the stronger you brew it, the stronger the magic will be

You can add things like lemon, ginger, cinnamon, cayenne, and give your magick some oomph

You can spread tea leaves (moist, dry, used, unused, etc) as offerings, mix them into or add them on top of the soil to help plants grow (bonus if they’ve been used in healing or growth spells!), add them to melted wax for a personalized candle, etc; the possibilities are basically endless

The Lost Lotus Tile

*A Spell to Find Something You Lost*

What You Need

Green and Purple candle - luck and divination

Pen and Paper

Frankincense -luck, divination, visions

Fire Safe Dish (optional)

What To Do

Prepare yourself and your workspace. Meditate, call the powers, cast a circle, however you perform your workings, set up beforehand. 

Light the incense and sit in front of it, visualizing the item that you lost. 

Draw a picture of or write the items name on the piece of paper. Continue focusing and visualizing the item. Visualize yourself using it, wherever and whenever you last did, and visualize yourself finding it.

Light the candles. Do one of two things with the paper. Either set it beneath the candles and let it remain there as they burn, or light the paper on fire, and (SAFELY) let it burn in the fire safe dish. 

Stare into the smoke/ flame of the candles and or the paper. Visualize again yourself looking for the item, thinking hard about where you last used it. Visualize that you have found the item and are once again able to use it. 

Let the candles burn as you continue to look for the item. 

Optional Step 7. Get overly excited like that guy when you find the item.

Good Luck and Happy Casting witches!

M.G.

Runes

Runes are an ancient Germanic alphabet that is used by pagans in magick and divination. The best way to work with them is to ask a question that may apply to your current situation.

Magick Runes

The Magick Runes have been used since the the ancient times for divination and charms. It may take a while to incirporate them into your magickal workings. They come in two forms : Magick Rune Cards and Rune Stones

Rune Stones

Rune stones have been used for centuries as a divination tool and many pagans use them today as well. Runes come in the same category as tarot cards , they have different symbols and every symbol has a different meaning. They can be used to invoke deities to help you in dealing your problems

Different Ways To Use Rune Stones

Rune stones are not to predict the future , look at it as a tool for guidence. It helps you to work with your subconscious and focus on the question that you want to ask.

As with other tools of divination , always cleanse and charge your runes before using them.

Before doing any reading it is good to ask a Spirit or a Deity you feel most comfortable with to guide you and when you're done with the reading don't forget to thank the Deity or Spirit.

Single Stone Reading

This is the simpler way to use rune stones and you need just one rune for a reading. Place all the runes in a bag and here is what you should do next :

♡ Clear your mind

♡ Focus on the question

♡ Hold the bag with the runes

♡ Mix up the stones in the bag

♡ Ask the question and take a rune out of the bag

♡ Read the symbol on the rune. That answers your question.

[beginnerwitchsworld-blog]

So I'm working on my Grimorie currently. So far it's full of my research and what I've learned, not just about tools, herbs, candles, etc; but also about the history of Witches and the different schools of thought. However since I'm incredibly OCD about journals and things like that, I'm having to take notes in one journal, and then I'll have to go through and rewrite it in a bullet journal so it can be neat and organized. And I can add cute pictures and stuff in it too. So that's where I am now. I'm still in the learning phase and haven't begin to fully practice yet, though I am working on meditation and intention focusing. In fact I made a small manifestation today! But as soon as I start exploring rituals and spells, I will be working on my Book of Shadows, where I'm probably going to be extra OCD.

[tarothy-deactivated20230301]

Things to Research as a Beginner Witch

• The history of witchcraft • Famous witches, if you’d like • Types of witches • Types of magick (white magick, chaos magick, etc) • Types of spells (curses, hexes, etc) • Types of divination (tarot, scrying, etc) • Talismans vs Sigils (and what each are) • Seals • Maybe some alphabets if that’s your thing • Some witchy symbols • Deities (For pagan witches) • Let it spread from there!

[sacred-sycamore]

You don't need anything to practice witchcraft.

I see a lot of people say oh you need this specific tool that was made in a certain way, or this specific herb/ crystal and anything else just wont do, or trying to discredit someone else's craft for being creative and making do with what they have. Lets get one thing straight, no matter how many crystals/herbs or tools you have or even if you have none your craft is valid. The absolute only thing you need to practice and create change in this world is your energy and intent. Your energy, focus on your intent, voice and your visualization are the driving force behind your spells, and the most powerful tools you will ever use. If these skills are lacking its not going to matter if you spent 150$ dollars on crystals and herbs and expensive props. That being said you do not have to rule out using mundane items in your magic! Use that plastic make up mirror thats been banging around your purse for a year! Its embued with your energy, you've touched it and peered back at yourself through it. Close your eyes and visualize a pure pink light emerging from it (for as long or short as you wish, once proficient it will only take a moment or two) and Bam! You have a clensed and charged magickal tool thats ready to be used in self love and glamour spells. (This can be done as simply as peering into your refelction with the use of chants or affirmations or visualizing the glamour you want to use) Also try making a powerful grounding stone by going outside and digging one directly out of the earth! Any stone that has been nestled inside the earth is going to have a very strong grounding energy.

I've got a bit of track there but my point is think about the old ones who practied magick the very roots of witchcraft who often had to hide the fact didnt have showy crystal collections or a fully stocked witches cabinet or ornate tools. They simply did not have access to rock shops and metaphysical stores. They utalized what they had, that means the soup pot was a cauldron, the herbs in the kitchen were more than enough, the stone found by the creek was perfect,a needle and thread makes a perfect pendulum, and a fallen elder branch made a sacred wand. I think denying the use of mundane items and making simple tools with what you have takes the very magick out of life. Don't let your "lack" of tools, crystals or herbs stop you. Don't get me wrong they're great and fun to have but you just dont need them. Even if you use nothing but your mind you can create change in this world. Get creative utalize what you have and make your own tools. Your craft is valid. Just let the magick flow 💖

TAROT tips for Beginners 🌙

⭐︎ Cleanse your deck after you buy it!! This is so so important, because you want to start working with a new clean energy.

⭐︎ There are thousands of ways to cleanse your deck. Cleansing can be something super simple, as just knocking on your deck 3 times or placing a crystal on top of the deck! Just do what feels right.

⭐︎ Interview your deck! After you buy new cards, talk to them, ask them questions and figure out the decks personality. There are a lot of fun spreads for this.

⭐︎ Sleep with your deck. Another good way to bond with your deck is sleeping with it near you. Just put it under your pillow or somewhere close to you over night!

⭐︎ You don’t have to read reversals. It’s up to you if you decide to turn the card back around. Again, do what feels right!

⭐︎ Reversals don’t always equal opposites. If you decide to read reversals, remember that it can have completely different meaning then just being opposite of the upright position.

⭐︎ Start simple. Start out with something simple like past/present/future spread. It’s super easy and gives you clarity on any situation.

⭐︎ Spend time looking at the picture. When you pull a card, really spend time observing at all the different colors and symbols before you look up the meaning. 

⭐︎ Jumping cards usually have something important to tell you. If you’re shuffling your deck and a card jumps out, look up what it means and what message it has for you!

⭐︎ Pull a daily card each morning. This is super fun and easy. You definitely don’t need to do this everyday, but it’s a good way to memorize the cards and their meanings.

and finally, practice, practice and practice! It’s going to take a while until you remember all the meanings, but just have fun and enjoy the process!🦋

Baby Witch Tips and Tricks

🔮 The Moon goes ‘Wax on, Wan off’

🔮 White Candles, Clear Quartz, Rosemary and Roses can be a substitute for anything

🔮 Do research on your Deities and Divine beings so you don’t accidentally offend them

🔮 Before you start doing spells and rituals, make sure you got bath magick, tea magick, and sigils down pat

🔮 Clockwise is for positive things, such as summonings, and Counter-clockwise is for negative things, such as banishings

🔮 If your ritual/spell/potion goes wrong, Don’t Panic. Finish it and make sure to Cleanse and Bless the area strongly afterward. If you are still in doubt or if the problem consists, consult an older or more experienced witch

🔮 Never doubt your own power, you are more powerful than you realize, so be careful!

 ☽O☾ Blessed Be!

Organizing a Grimoire

🌹~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~🌹

🍁This isn’t needed, if you prefer the write as you go method that’s fine.

🍁For those of us who prefer to have it organized a table of contents is a must.

🍁Try and plan what your going to write down when. If it helps write down in a notebook or in your book of shadows every idea you can think of putting in your grimoire and number them.

🍁It’s ok if it’s not ‘perfect’ chances are this is your first grimoire so not only is ok its natural to make a few mistakes here and there

🍁Write in pencil if you don’t like crossing out mistakes or using tipex

🍁The key thing to remember is that it doesn’t need to look 'Tumblr perfect’ as long as you understand it
