[blacktourmalone]

i’m trying to put together another kitchen witch recipe for the first time in years again and it really shows me how unusable google has become.

researching ingredients’ magickal properties (or honestly anything slightly more niche) seems to have become impossible. all i’m getting is these random blogs and websites that are all filled with random ai slop instead of actual information with proper sources.

all that ai is doing is to make education become more and more inaccessible and it is making all of us dumber while simultaneously destroying our environment and making people sick.

Little rituals count too. Stir with intention.

Money/Prosperity Bowl

Non-ingredient materials:

A bowl or dish

Green or yellow candle (can use white)

Spare change/cash

Money oil

Ingredients I use:

Alfalfa - prosperity, wealth

Aventurine - fortune, motivation, wealth, prosperity

Bay leaf - wish granting, catalyst

Cinnamon (powdered or sticks) - fortune, protection, wealth, attraction

Clove - wealth, attraction

Coffee - catalyst, speeds things up, amplifier

Dill - fortune, wealth

Garnet - catalyst, prosperity

Geode - fortune

Goldstone - wealth, luck

Malachite - wealth, fortune

Mint - protection, wealth

Money Oil

Pinecone - prosperity, wealth

Pyrite - wealth, luck

Clear Quartz - amplifier (can replace any other stone)

Rice - abundance, prosperity

Rutilated Quartz - fortune, wealth

••••••••••

Cleanse your space and materials however you see fit. I like to smoke cleanse with pine or corresponding incense, but do whatever feels right to you

Add your rice to your bowl. Visualize money and abundance coming your way. Imagine the different ways it can come to you; maybe you got a new job or a bonus on your check. Think about all the good things you would like to come your way

Add your herbs into your rice(except the bay leaf and cinnamon if using sticks). As you add each herb, make sure to set your intention and thank your herbs. I've found that showing gratitude makes a world of a difference. If you're using crystal chips, I would also add them at this time

After your herbs and possible crystal chips are added, stir it all in clockwise, while repeating affirmations or simply thinking about what you want to bring in. Concentrate on what it is specifically that you want, and feel that energy pouring from yourself into the bowl

Move onto your candle and bay leaf. Carve sigil to match your intention or currency symbol into the candle as well as your name and anyone else included within the spell. Write the same on the bay leaf. Then anoint both with the money oil

Place your candle in the center of the bowl. Then begin adding your crystals. Again, remember to take your time setting your intentions and thanking your crystals. After your satisfied with that, add the spare change if you have it and then, you guessed it, thanking it for the job it's about to do

Sit back and admire your work. You just made a money bowl!!!!

To cast, light the candle with intention.

Happy witching!!

Leap Year Magic

(this post inspired by the lovely @upthewitchypunx)

Leap Day is a day that emerges every four years of the Gregorian calendar; it rises out of the tides of time for one very special moment, then submerges beneath the surface and isn’t seen again for another four years. For witches, this can present a very unique opportunity to do some Leap Day magic. Some ideas include:

- Long-term goals spellwork. If you have a list of some long-term goals, and there’s one you see happening in the next four years, set off a controlled release spell that sets that plan in motion! Use this year’s February 29th to start a spell, and set an intention to see your spell come to fruition by the next February 29th. - Leap Day curses. If you’ve really got a grudge against someone, and they deserve a wallop of a curse, February 29th could be the best day to put it in place. A curse that’s not set to release until another February 29th comes to pass can be a very powerful thing indeed (but may take a lot of energy to cast as a result, so practice self-care along the way!). - Spirit and fae communication or spellwork. In myths and stories, there was often a certain time of year where the world of the fae and spirits was more accessible to us. That same liminal quality that many of us associate with Samhain or Hallowe'en can also be tapped on Leap Day. Much like fairy markets and spirit realms, it’s a day that pops into our existence and then disappears for four years as though it had never been. Spellwork involving the Fair Folk or any other spirits could well take advantage of this day that has a very in-between quality. - Realignment spells. Leap Day is a day we arbitrarily add into the calendar in order to help realign our calendar system with the astronomical equinoxes and solstices, as the astronomical year is actually just a bit longer than what our 365-day calendar will allow. Use this day of correction and realignment to add that same energy to a spell of your own, helping you get things back in sync. - Magical burials and banishments. Have something you want to get rid of, and you really want to see it gone this time? Give it over to some Leap Day spellwork. You can banish something from your life on February 29th, and it will be so gone, not even the day itself will resurface for years.

Do you have any ideas about how you can use Leap Day in your witchcraft? Reblog and add your thoughts! I’d love to add more items to this post and reblog it with your suggestions (credited, of course) each time a Leap Day approaches.

🤍a simple personal cleansing spell 🤍🎧

Feeling a bit weighed down by negative vibes lately? It's time to treat yourself to a personal cleansing spell that'll leave you feeling refreshed and renewed from the inside out. Here's a gentle ritual to get you started:

🌸 Set the Scene: Find a quiet, peaceful space where you can be alone with your thoughts. Light a candle or some incense to create a soothing atmosphere. Take a few deep breaths to center yourself and let go of any tension.

🔮 Connect with Your Intentions: Close your eyes and focus on what you want to release from your life—whether it's stress, self-doubt, or anything else holding you back. Visualize these negative energies as dark clouds surrounding you.

✨ Embrace the Power of Water: Fill a bowl with warm water and add a handful of sea salt or a few drops of your favorite cleansing essential oil. This mixture symbolizes purification and renewal.

🌊 Cleanse Away Negativity: Dip your fingertips into the water and gently splash it over your face, allowing the purifying energy to wash away any negativity or stagnant energy. As you do this, repeat a simple affirmation like, "I release what no longer serves me and welcome in positivity and light."

🌿 Ground and Reconnect: After cleansing, take a moment to ground yourself by placing your hands on the earth or simply feeling the support of the ground beneath you. Visualize roots growing from your feet, anchoring you firmly to the earth's energy.

❤️ Seal in Positivity: Finish your ritual by anointing yourself with a few drops of cleansing oil or moisturizer, focusing on areas like your wrists, temples, and heart. As you do this, affirm your commitment to self-love and inner peace.

💫 Express Gratitude: Take a moment to thank yourself for taking the time to nurture your mind, body, and spirit. Feel gratitude for the cleansing energy that now surrounds you.

Remember, personal cleansing spells are all about honoring your own journey and intuition. Trust yourself and let the magic flow! 💖🔮

huge shout out to magic users who are recovering from burn out. I know you want to practice more and I know you're constantly dreaming of having a fulfilling daily practice and I know how hard it is to not have the energy to do everything you want to do.

I see you. I am you. We deserve to rest

[avpdvoidspace]

Having a traumatic childhood means you cannot talk even objectively about your basic foundational experiences without it being "venting", even if you're not actually venting. You just straight up have a huge chunk of your life you can't talk about, full stop, without it being trauma dumping.

And it not being socially acceptable to talk about your own childhood is super alienating. Sometimes people want to know why, and any answer you can give them is going to be off putting.

It's to the point I get irritated when something I said is framed as venting when I'm literally just talking about my life experiences, doing my best to keep emotion out of it.
