Spell to strengthen and enrich an existing love

This is a spell I made for my Boyfriend @witchwithacoffeepot and I, to strengthen and enrich our love so it may last forever. ❤️

Ingredients:

Large Jar

Bay Leaf

Rose Quartz

Vanilla

2 Coins small enough to fit in the jar

Allspice

Rosemary

Mint

Golden Marker

2 Tags

Herb & Crystal to represent you

Herb & Crystal to represent partner

Sigil

Duct Tape

Spell

Take the coins and on the same side of each, write the initials of your states/countries, one on each coin. Use the Duct Tape and tape the coins together, the initialed sides pressed together, and place on the bottom of the jar

Cover the coins with a layer of Mint, speaking your intent as you do so

Add a layer of Rosemary, speaking your intent as you do so

Add a layer of Allspice, speaking your intent as you do so

Take the Bay Leaf and draw the Sigil on it. Place in the jar, being careful to keep it as whole as possible

Take the herbs you and your partner chose, and mix them together speaking your intent while you do so. Add to the jar

Take the 3 crystals and kiss each one before adding to the jar, with the rose quartz in the middle of the three

Rub the vanilla onto the bottom of the cork/lid. Seal the jar

On one side of each tag, write your initials and your partner’s initials. On the opposite sides, draw half a heart, making it so the drawings look like puzzle pieces that fit perfectly. Tie the tags together and tie them around the neck of the jar

Kiss each morning 💕

This week’s tarot spread is inspired by a very important unofficial ‘rule’ in Dungeons and Dragons. Never splitting the party is key to the survival of all members of said party. I created this six card spread with this in mind. Each card represents an important part of the party that is reflected in each of us. If you try this spread out let me know! I want to show your posts some love. 🍀 🍀 #dnd #tarotspread #tarot #tarotgram #tarotreadersofinstagram #tarotreadersofig #cardslinger #tarotadict #witch #witchcraft #witchesofinstagram #instawitch #witchesofig #queerwitch #witchywoman #pagan #pagansofinstagram #divination #divinationcomminity #psychicreading #psychic #eclectic #eclecticwitch #eclecticpagan #intuitivereader #intuition https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxx8BbJnEq0/?igshid=1p02jt1c55orl

Do you know of any alternatives to a dream catcher? I had no idea that it was a part of someone's culture, I just thought people had them because they were neat.

i was going to have nice links and stuff but i was so depressed, however i didn’t just want to leave this!

so alternatives to dream catchers!

witches ladders. they are knot magic with added trinkets, usually feathers! while braiding or knotting just think of the intention of what you want out of it. an added bonus is the fact you can add things you associate with a goods nights sleep, or gems that offer magical properties of sleeping well, good dreams, nightmare reflection ect.

my favorite is satchels that can be made cheaply, filled with herbs and stones of your choice. when completed, put the satchel under a pillow or your bed!

similar to satchels are poppets, or a teddy bear works great for this if you have sewign skills. if you can make a small incision on the bottom of the bear (or stuffed animal/poppet) and while thinking on your intent put charged herbs and gems inside. then just close them right up adn sleep with the bear with you or near you.

if you like the looks of dream catchers to aid in helping you get better dreams i would suggest wreathes, you can add what ever decorations that match your aesthetic and practice, and it won’t be appropriation because its not from a closed religion

and this is a good sight that talks about a few stones that work well

Oooh, I like this post. This is a Good Post.

I actually (shamefully) have a dream catcher that I’m only holding onto because I like the look of it (and because it was a gift from my older sister, who I love dearly).

I’ve wanted to take it down, because appropriation is Not Okay, but I wanted to put something in its place and didn’t know what. And now I know what.

I’m going to make myself a nice alternative and retire the dream catcher to storage (because I can’t bear to completely part with it, because treasured gift). So glad I found this post!

Hey ok speaking as someone who has grown up in Cree culture and has spoken to elders about this- dream catchers are 100% ok for non-natives to use. They sell them to non-natives for the very reason they are ok with it and it’s not appropriation. That said you should aim to buy actual native made ones, not mass produced Chinese ones, but according to every elder I have asked, dream catchers are ok. Also re non natives making dream catchers for personal use- I have been told by elders this is fine. I was taught directly by elders myself who showed me how to cut willow and weave the sinew. I was teased by the younger natives for going to the work of doing it the hard traditional way when I could buy a hoop. Things like eagle feathers which are sacred obviously are a huge no, but dream catchers themselves are frequently given to outsiders and not considered by natives themselves to be part of a closed religion. I appreciate what you are trying to do here, but it’s probably better to let actual natives speak instead of talking over them about what is and isn’t appropriation to them. My family is a whole mix of cultures thanks to adoptions and even though I’m not Cree, half my family is, so it kind of bugs me seeing non natives making judgements without actually consulting anyone.

blackbearmagic

Oh, that’s a neat perspective! I’m glad you replied! Thank you. :3

(I still plan to retire this particular dream catcher to storage because I’m almost positive it’s one of the cheapo Chinese sweatshop ones…)

greeniewitchering

Hey!! A cree/Mi'kmaq gal here as well, dream catchers are 100% okay!! Again, just get them from native sources, even if that happens to be online- if they’re from a native source no sacred items that could be seen as cultural appropriation in the hands of a non-native will be included usually. The one thing about dream catchers is that you should! Not! Get them tattooed. As dream catchers are supposed to absorb negative energy and nightmares it is basically like cursing yourself, and that is never fun!

thehoneybeewitch

You can also make a dream-net/curtain. I’m not sure what the ‘origin’ of it is, but my grandma made them for new babies!

phoenyxoftheashes

I asked a native neighbor about this a while back and he said the same thing: dream catchers are okay for non-native people to use BUT you should buy them from natives. Not the knockoffs you find from non-natives. Those people who sell the knockoffs are trying to make a profit off of native people’s culture, and that’s extremely uncool. He also said they’re not going to work, anyway…so just don’t buy them off of non-natives.

serapphire

100% agree. Dream catchers are okay, guys! Again, just get them from those who are actually Native as much as possible, because it helps them make a living and continue on their traditions!

Here are some Native-run businesses:

AuthenticNativeMade (Moccasins) mlprintup (Jewelry) Duckletshut (Beaded Jewelry & Dreamcatchers)

FaithEarthandSoul (Jewelry, Art, & Dreamcatchers)

WildeElementJewelry (Jewelry)

ElusiveWolf (Jewelry & Pipes)

A Guide to Greek Alphabet Divination (Runes)

As many may already know, Runes are a popular form of divination in order to communicate with the gods! However, aside from the popular Norse runes (elder futhark) that everyone might be aware of, did you know that there’s also a form of “rune casting divination” for the Greek alphabet?

First found inscribed in Olympos, a city in ancient Lycia, the Greek alphabet divination system uses the 24 letters from the Greek language and assigns them meanings, and based on what rune you pull, can give you advice from the gods on your current situation!

There were many Alphabet Oracles in ancient Greece, and the idea of reading the Greek alphabet for signs of the gods is one of the oldest divination methods that we know of.

How do I create my “runes?”

To create your runes, any way of making them works! Historically, they would be painted onto pottery shards, but any way you can think of to have them accessible to throw/draw is completely okay. I have personally used black stones with gold paint on them.

You create one piece per letter, and in total there will be 24. Each letter will be listed and elaborated on later on in the post!

I’ve made my alphabet set. How do I use them?

In order to call upon the Theoi to get an answer, you can firstly call upon them in an invocation. After you have called upon them or asked your gods to give you an answer (sometimes no formal structure is needed) you can reach into a bag which contains the letters and pull out one at a time and read that, or you can grab them and throw them and look for patterns or groups of letters that are clumped together.

THE LETTER MEANINGS

Α - Alpha - “The God Apollo [Apollon] says you will do everything successfully.” With his luck and good fortune, the current thing you are working on will turn out well and you will be the leader of your situation and have good transactions with others.

Β - Beta - “With the help of Tyche, you will have an assistant [Boêthos], who is the Pythian Apollon.” You might be at a time in your life where you’re struggling, but this divine-coded letter tells you that the gods that you worship are going to help you soon, so the signs you get might be more prophetic in nature.

Γ - Gamma - “Gaia [Gê] will give you the ripe fruit of your labors.” It is time for you to take a break and admire the hard work you have put in. Gaia will reward you, and you will have abundance in happiness, emotional fulfillment, food, or all of the above.

Δ - Delta - “In customs inopportune strength [Dunamis] is weak.” Timing is everything. Wait for the right time to act, and do not act to hastily. Wait for your time, but at the same time, use your strength for good to make a change in your situation.

Ε - Epsilon - “You desire [Eraô] to see the offspring of righteous marriages.” You need to surround yourself with good friendships, romances, allies, or relationships in general in order to get the most out of it. Surround yourself with positive people or situations to bring yourself up in a righteous way.

Ζ - Zeta - “Flee the very great storm [Zalê], lest you be hindered in some way.” If you’re already struggling, know when to pick your battles. Sometimes flight is better than fight, and only you know your own limitations.

Η - Eta - “Bright Helios [Hêlios], who watches everything, watches you.” Helios knows that in the past you feel like you have been wronged. As the enforcer of oaths and promises, if you are honest with yourself and the situation the truth will come out and you will be aided.

Θ - Theta - “You have the helping Gods [Theoi] of this path.” If you are taking a plan of action do not worry! The Gods are guiding your way and you are in good hands.

Ι - Iota - “There is sweat [’idrôs]; it excels more than everything.” Within your situation, there is going to be a lot of work. The gods recommend you buckle down and work as hard as you can, and it will not be easy. But it will be worth it.

Κ - Kappa - “To fight with the waves [Kuma] is difficult; endure, friend.” Now is not the time. You should wait until the vicious waves die down, and then take action.

Λ - Lambda - ““The one passing on the left [Laios] bodes well for everything.” Something that may seem really bad currently or in the future is actually going to turn out to be a blessing in disguise. Pay attention to your intuition!

Μ - Mu - “It is necessary to labor [Mokhtheô], but the change will be admirable.” You might feel distressed right now and that nothing is going right. But keep working to change either your situation or yourself, and the results will be in your favour.

Ν - Nu - ““The strife-bearing [Neikêphoros] gift fulfils the oracle.” Something will be given to you and enter your life. While it might not be obvious at first, this is the first domino in a line of changes that will happen in your life and make prophecy come true.

Ξ - Xi - “There is no fruit to take from a withered [Xêros] shoot.” Being bitter and angry is not the way to go about things. Don’t keep trying to pull water out of a well that is empty, and know when to let go.

Ο - Omicron - “There are no [Ou] crops to be reaped that were not sown.” In order to get things out of the situation, you have to plan ahead. What goes around comes around.

Π - Pi - “Completing many [Polus] contests, you will seize the crown.” After many trials, you will achieve your goal. Persistence will give you your rewards, and do not be afraid to use your talents.

Ρ - Rho - “You will go on more easily [Rhaion] if you wait a short time.” You should act, and quickly. Now is the best time and waiting longer is not a good idea. The stars are aligned and while it not be easy, there is no better time than the present.

Σ - Sigma - “Phoibos Apollon speaks plainly [Saphôs], ‘Stay, friend.’” The gods want to inform you to wait for more information before you make any decisions. In this time, relax, and let the signs come to you.

Τ - Tau - “You will have a parting from the [Tôn] companions now around you.” Soon, people in your life might not stay the way they are. Friends might leave or enemies might leave. You might grow apart or distance or travel might force you away. Be wary of this, and act accordingly.

Υ - Upsilon - “The affair holds a noble undertaking [Yposkhesis].” The task at hand is certainly a grand one, but with confidence, you, the hero of your own story, can pull through. You must acknowledge your strength, but also acknowledge the size of the task.

Φ - Phi - “Having done something carelessly [Phaulos], you will thereafter blame the Gods.” Something is going wrong, and you may be trying to blame other things than the cause of the problem. Don’t resort to pointing fingers. The Gods will help you if you do not take out your anger on them or others needlessly.

Χ - Khi - “Succeeding, friend, you will fulfill a golden [Khruseos] oracle.” Luck is on your side, and by mere chance, things might fall into place. The answer is positive, and you might be pleasantly surprised at all the riches that the world gives you in addition to your solution.

Ψ - Psi - “You have this righteous judgment [Psêphos] from the Gods.” Truth will be brought forwards, so be careful in your actions. The Gods are watching, and they will be fair, honest, and unforgiving to those who deserve it. This includes those who might be harming you, as well.

Ω - Omega - “You will have a difficult [Ômos] harvest season, not a useful one.” The times will be rough, and you will not get what you wish for at the end. You also might be forced to make tough decisions that you are not ready to make.

And those are the letters! Happy letter-casting!

I am celebrating a few things this month: Reaching 5,500 followers (Hi! Thank you!!), as well as upgrading the packaging of my Telluric Runes oracle deck, now encased in a colourful, custom-printed box with lid (along with a redesigned, more portable companion book)

Why ‘Gold Standard’ you say? Because I’m cheesy and it’s in my name. Furthermore, the winner will get the extremely limited edition (i.e. the only one currently in existence) GILDED-EDGED TELLURIC RUNES DECK :･ﾟ☆✧

It’s shiny.. like the rocks ಥ﹏ಥ ･ﾟ✧

GIVEAWAY RULES:

- Open to anyone anywhere, I don’t judge (except giveaway blogs… not judging you either but yeah sorry) - You don’t have to follow me. I’m an acquired taste - ONE REBLOG = ONE ENTRY (no limit but please don’t spam your people too much I don’t want them to hate my guts)

- Likes are nice but not an entry.

- ENDS Monday May 27th at midnight (Eastern time)

PRIZE:

One Telluric Runes oracle deck with golden edging (not real gold, I hope we’re clear on that) and companion book.

The runes cards:

PURCHASE INFO: The regular (not-gilded) deck in its new box is available for preorder in my Etsy store (address in my bio/about); I am receiving all the stock this week so it’s not a long wait.

While I’m at it, just a heads-up that I have begun creating the TELLURIC TAROT, in the same vein and theme as the Telluric Runes:

I use the physical properties and symbolic meaning of a mineral and plant to channel the message of each arcana. Design and release of the deck is still a couple of months ahead; I try to post a new arcana artwork here roughly every two days.

THANK YOU and GOOD LUCK *:・ﾟ✧
