Pentagram vs Pentacle

Pentagram:

a pentagram is usually used for invoking and evoking

the points of the pentagram represents the element of earth, fire, water, air and spirit, with the spirit on top representing the divine ruling over the material world

inverted pentagram:

the inverted pentagram is still connected to the elements, but now spirits is at the bottom, showing the material world is ruling over the divine. It is meant to show the powers of the individual and not the powers of a divine or dogomatic system

The inverted pentagram has been used to represent the horned God

Pentacle:

a pentacle is usually used for protection and power

same thing as the pentagram but it is now unified and protected by a circle

the pentacle also represents male and female energy mixing together in a symbiotic relationship. The pentacle being the male energy and the circle being the female energy

inverted pentacle:

shows the unity of the elements inside the individual power and it's still a powerful protection talisman

[daddysdem0n]

Invoke vs summoning

invoke is to call up (a person, specifically a deity) for help, assistance or guidance while summon is to call people together, a command, a call or an order

Moh's scale of hardness

Friedrich Mohs devised a scale of hardness using 10 minerals as standards and ranked them so that any mineral on the scale would scratch only those below it.

The scale goes as follows:

1. Talcs

2. Gypsums

3. Calcites

4. Flourites

5. Apatites

6. Orthoclases

7. Quartz

8. Topaz

9. Conundrums

10. Diamonds

Why is this important?

It's important when it comes things like which crystals can and cant go in salt, water, sun, etc. Most crystals that are a 5 or below on the Mohs scale usually are too soft to be safe in salt / water. There's always some odd ones out, but it's a nice rule to follow!!

The scratching test

The scratching test is a test performed on crystals in which you scrape a piece of glass with the mineral and if it has made a scrape, it's real and if not, it's fake. This test is not very reliable for a few reasons: tumbled crystals are harder to scrape glass with and therefore can not give an accurate way of telling if it is fake. Secondly, the Mohs hardness scale shows us that glass falls anywhere between a 5.5 and 7. Anything around or above that will more than likely scratch the glass which again, doesn't indicate if it is real because glass (which a lot of fake crystals are made of) will scratch its own material.

Crystal cleansing

Before reading this remember to do your own research about your crystals so you know if they’re water/sun/soil/etc safe! Putting your crystal in a non-safe environment can cause damage of different types

Water

Why: water is nature’s most potent cleanser and purifier

How: rinse your crystal gently under a running tap or submerge briefly in a bowl of water. You can use special water like moon water, river water, etc

Sunlight

Why: sunlight powerfully shine away stale energies and is extremely activating

How: Most new crystals benefit from at least a short sunbath when you first bring them home: place them in a sunny spot and put them there for at least 4 hours

Moonlight

Why: moonlight is supercharging and safe for all crystals

How: Crystals thrive regular moonbaths, lay your crystals overnight in a place where moonlight will touch them for potent charging. Take advantage of the moon phases and their correspondences

Breath+ Intention

Why: breath combined with intention is the easiest and most instant purifying option

How: hold your crystal and inhale through your nose, envisioning golden light filling your lungs, breathe out through your mouth with a gently forcefulbreath while thinking or whispering your intention

Smoke

Why: the cleansing smokes from burning herbs move and purifies energies

How: light a small bundle, hold your crystal above the stream of smoke allowing smoke to dance over and around your crystal for several moments

Music

Why: music’s vibrational waves harmonizes the energy of everything it touches

How: crystals love being around music and beautiful sounds, live music brings them to life and infuses them with a special glow

Earth

Why: everything with soil grounds and recharge

How: place the crystal under or on the soil, leave it for at least one night, or as long as it feels right

Salt

Why: salt is purifying

How: saltwater soaks or burying crystals in salt are traditional but it’s not 100% recommended. Fill a bowl with Himalayan salt and let your crystals on top of the salt for at least 10mins

Tips for my closeted witches <3

-Pick up gardening or cooking so you have an excuse to buy/grow herbs/plants

-Do your big spells at night, so no one will intrude & the power of the moon will be the highest than too

-For making moon water just stick a glass of water on your window sill for a couple hours, it doesn’t need to be overnight

-Use symbolism & substitution, such as symbols that represent any deities your work with (if you work with them) this way you can represent them subtly

-Wear a black shirt for protection (use color magic for clothes or make up)

-Make paper book covers to cover your witchcraft books, put them behind other books, or place them with your school work

-Take advantage of windy days and use wind to cleanse

-Practice candle magick

-Research energy work

-Practice ring magick

-Work with essential oils

-Use pdf books and change the name of the file

-Start a crystal collection because they’re pretty

-Start a candle collection because they smell nice

-When making sigils, write them in moon water or in invisible ink so your parents won’t see them

-Store pressed dried herbs in books

-If you play an instrument you can turn spells into songs or melodies

-Use regular cards instead of a tarot deck for cartomancy (in the link down below is our discord server where you will be able to find how to use and play cartomancy), you can also make your own tarot!

-Use showers to cleanse yourself with water and visualization

-Create a cleansing spray and disguise it as an air freshener

-Make a travel alter in an altoids can or make an altar on a board/baking tray and store it under your bed

-Turn your room into an altar, a plant could represent earth in the north corner, a fan or incense burner in the east for air, a dragons statue south for fire and a fountain for water in the west (you can choose what represents each element, this is an example)

-You can also make your altar in a shoebox

-make a digital altar (a dedicated tumblr blog, pinterest board, moodboard, a crafted temple in a building game, etc)

-dedicate meals to them before you eat it, art, music, writing, etc

-Say your grimoire/bos is a book of story ideas or info for a game of dnd

-make digital grimoires/bos in notion or google drive

-Art magick!!

-Sigils as fancy doodles or a language for a fantasy setting

-Trace sigils in your food, in the shower, while applying skin care, in your notebooks, digitally on pictures in your phone, draw a sigil on your nails before painting them with nail polish

-Drinking tea and you’re bad at drawing sigils at the bottom with honey? Don’t like the taste of honey but want to incorporate sigils on your tea) use washable markers on your mugs, you can also use color intent

-enchant your jewelry, masks, clothes, etc

-Pass your pendulum as jewelry

-Make your own incense with kitchen spices/herbs

-If you need to get rid of the smell of incense or perfume or burnt herbs, you can make a solution of 50% water and 50% white vinegar in a spray bottle, also keeping a wet wipe or mini towel next to you can absorb some of the odor

-Hide stuff in plain sight and say they’re decorations (crystals, shells, feathers, etc)

-Spend time on nature so you can connect to the Earth

-If you want to have chalices, you can try to find a cup that you can pass off as drinking cup you keep in your room, if this isn’t possible, than even something as small as a thimble can work

-containers you can use, little pots of lip balm when it runs out, container ||sharpeners||, the containers of camera fills, use old makeup containers, sweet containers, lead containers (pencils, compasses, etc.), medicine containers, etc

-take advantage of being home alone!!!!

-candle wax can be replaced with glue (if you want it with color respondence you can put colorant in it) or melted crayons

Shadow work

let’s talk about what is our shadow self and how it affects us. The shadow is dark because we are made of both light and dark aspects. Carl Jung describes it as the unconscious and disowned parts of our personalities that ego fails to see, acknowledge and accept. When we depend on our caregivers, we suppress the aspects that are disapproved and exaggerate the ones that are approved.

For example a Little kid crying and his father telling him to not cry bc that’s not a man thing, so the kid will suppress that feeling into his shadow self and grow acting though.

It doesn’t necessarily needs to be from your caregivers, maybe from a friend, a teacher, or even someone on the Street, we bottle it up and throw it on our shadow self.

But the shadow isn’t always just negative, in the shadow is also so much potential, gifts and talents that haven´t been unhearted yet, that has been suppressed.

For example a girl that was born with a strong sense of self, but she grew up in a family where she was constantly told to shut up, eventually she grew being quiet and shy, but she feels being that way is so painful. She has suppressed her true self, which has so much potential in so many things

To be able to heal our shadow selves we can do shadow work, it might be uncomfortable, painful, sad and many other feelings, but those feelings are necessary to heal, the healing path is not always roses and sweets, but also feeling sad and face ourselves. This is a sign for you to do shadow work! You deserve happiness and be your true self! Who knows? Probably you have lots of potential on something hidden there <3!

in our server All Things Spiritual we have lots of shadow work prompts to start with and guidance help!
