ElladanAwe's Grimoire @elladanawemane - Tumblr Blog

An attempt to return.

So if anyone used to follow me closely notice my sudden drop from the face of the Earth then yea.. I occasionally do that. Not a personal fan of myself for this and it causes a lot of issues holding hobbies down as I tend to drop interest like dead flies.

With that said, first a formal apology. I’m sorry for dropping this blog the way i did and I’m sorry to those who used this place as a place to feel welcomed and apart of a larger collective.

Secondly, the direction I want to got following my return. I want to begin making post based off my own practices and beliefs and while this will cause more than a few irate individuals, this will be my place and a safe place that resonate with my thoughts. I will repost some things and occasionally add personal experiences to those repost.

Lastly, if you need to talk, want advice, have advice, or whatever a human could want, message me. Email me. I suck at a quick reply but I’ll do my damnedest to respond and/or help out.

Thank you all for staying with me through the trying times, Stay hungry my dears.

Rainbow Water???

Okay, so I realized something today. I always see posts detailing the various correspondences of different types of water. Moon water, sun water, eclipse water, rain water, storm water, snow water, even *dew* water. Water from a lake, a river, an ocean, a stream, a brook. Even water collected from mist.

But y'all know what I haven’t seen?

Rainbow water.

So hold on to your seats yall because I’m about to take ya on a ride.

Rainbow water is something I use quite often in my craft. Why? Because it’s got so many uses! I use it for:

LBGTQ+ spells

Spells for positivity

Spells for luck

Spells for change

Spells for perserverance

Spells for hope

Spells for connection (I call them “bridge spells”)

Spells for happiness

Spells for creativity/imagination

Honestly, I have no idea why I haven’t seen rainbow water being mentioned before. It can’t be because it’s too difficult to collect because, y'all,

You can make your own rainbows. You don’t have to wait for one to show up in the sky.

Observe:

That right there is a bona fide rainbow that i created with nothing but a hose on the mist option and natural sunlight. Get yourself a pretty (or ugly) bottle with a wide mouth and you can very easily make your own rainbow water!

“But wait, Eiolrin, what if I don’t have a hose?”

Nothing to fear. I’ve got your back. You can also collect rainbow water by:

Shine a light through a prismatic crystal, then placing a bottle of regular water in the rainbow that’s created. Just like making sun/moon water! You don’t need to put it in the rainbow for more than maybe 1-5 minutes.

Get a plastic spray bottle that mists and spray the mist into natural sunlight until you find a rainbow. Hold bottle against the rainbow and *keep misting*.

Hell, you know what? Who needs an *actual* rainbow?

Draw a rainbow. Print out a picture of a picture of a rainbow. This rainbow is in my grimoire in the form of a magic circle (enchantment circle) and i’ve imbued it with the energy of a rainbow. I use this to make rainbow water sometimes.

So go forth and conquer, my lovelies! Be the witch/mage/occultist that uses rainbow water! Spread this around and make sure this is something that becomes a thing because in my opinion, rainbow water is just too useful to be ignored as a valid component in spells and other things.

As a bonus, here’s my rainbow water!

WITCHES NEED A SECRET SYMBOL FOR SAFE PLACES

So a lot of us are out of the broom closet so to speak, but many of have to be careful of being public because of the views of the communities we live in. What I propose is a symbol we can put on flyers or in shop windows that means “You’re safe here.”

I don’t believe that a pentagram would work because it’s got so much stigma attached and it’s really easily identifiable. Ideally, we can find something that is not tradition specific. I don’t know. I just want us to be able to put feelers out into the community without painting a target on ourselves for intolerant jerk faces, and I want witchlings that are seeking guidance to be able to do so in a safe environment. I mean, how badass would it be to find a little symbol of solidarity in your favorite coffee shop or bookstore??

Reblog with suggestions!

visardistofelphame

A witches’ foot. It has been used historically like this.

In one of the grimoires I’ve read through, it references this being a secret sign to mark on sacred spaces for the group.

Love it, passing it around. Will be wearing it and hanging it at my house and teashop once I own one.

Waters of change spell💧🌊💧

I did this when I stayed in kentucky right next to a creek/river.

What you’ll need:

💧a source of moving water, if you don’t live near a river or creek, a canal will work just as fine.

💧a bay leaf

💧a pen

💧incense of your choice. Dragons blood or cinnamon is best for speeding the spell up.

Ground and meditate on what in your life you want to change soon. Think simple and realistic. Light your incense and write down your intention on the bay leaf, (ex: I will ___ soon) visualize it happening then put your bay leaf in the water.

Single Word Spells

Because I’m lazy and don’t like to monologue while I’m doing a spell, here’s a couple of the single word spells I use in my personal practice.

absum - to make something be concealed from sight

↳ def. to be away, be missing

advoco - summoning spell

↳ def. to summon

casso - destruction spell

↳ def. to destroy, make void

bellus - glamour spell

↳ def. beautiful, charming, handsome

explico - reveal information

↳ def. explanation, to unfold

mutare - transmutation

↳ def. to change

cessabit - calming spell

↳ def. to rest, be free of

uro - burning

↳ def. to burn, inflame

conturbo - invoke confusion

↳ def. confound, to throw into confusion

taceo - to silence

↳ def. shut up

hiddensympathies

An essential part of magic is the act of changing. Change is, I think, what conveys meaning and intention to actualize as magic. Which is why many ordinary acts can be used as vehicles, such as brewing coffee, making tea, cleaning, a candle burning, writing, potting plants, picking up leaves and flowers, cooking, baking, and a lot of other things can be used to make magic. What really matters is to focus on the actual change that is happening, and believe in its meaning, so that the transformation we use as vehicle can lead to the change our magic is calling for. Intention needs energy, and in my experience magic can be rather draining if everything comes from within. Also I think that having part of the process of invoking energy and intention be outside of me helps me be more direct and precise.

Witchcraft is Free

Sorry for the odd title, but I’ve noticed a worrying trend in various witchcraft and magical circles. I’ve seen tons of witches, new and experienced, worry if they can practice witchcraft on a tight budget. This is mostly because of the materialism that is pervasive in our culture.

Think about it. When you think “witch,” you think about expensive crystals, athames, an extravagant altar, and more. The image of the witch has been tainted by marketers who want to make a quick buck selling the image of a witch.

Truthfully, witchcraft is free. The magic is within you. Tools and supplies can help amplify and focus your spells, but you can cast a spell with nothing more than your own willpower and some ingredients you can scavenge outside.

So please, don’t stress if you can’t afford all the things your favorite social media witches have. Those tools aren’t required to be a witch, and you aren’t less of a witch if all of your supplies come from discount shops or are found objects. Don’t let social media convince you that witchcraft is inaccessible.

a-nefarious-nobody

this is incredibly important.

meditation can be witchcraft if you set an intention, sleeping and dreaming can be used in witchcraft, there are endless ways to unlock your magical abilities than spending (truthfully RIDICULOUS) amounts of money

Liminality & Liminal Spaces

It’s been quite a while since my last original post, and I profusely apologise for my absence.

What is liminality?

The word “liminal’ comes from a Latin word “līmen”, meaning “a threshold” and its Oxford Dictionary definition is:

Relating to a transitional or initial stage of a process.

Occupying a position at, or on both sides of, a boundary or threshold.

[Source]

That is a brief etymological explanation of liminal/liminality, but,… what is it? What is it in relation to witches and witchcraft?

I'd like to start practicing witchcraft but I don't know where to start. How do you start?

Begin with research! Decide what you’re interested in, and look into that. Spell work, divination, astrology, spirit work, what do you like? After you have some information under your belt, I suggest you jump right in and begin working on stuff. Just basic things, and work up to more advanced skills and topics. If you want any spells to do, look for a protection spell or a luck spell. They can’t backfire, are easy, and have nice perks! It’s really quite simple to start and your intuition will guide you.

10 Crystals For Empaths

Crystals have been used for thousands of years to protect and enhance personal vitality. They have the ability to focus energy and generate minute electrical currents that interact with the currents in the human body and environment. Crystals are an amazing way to cleanse, amplify, and protect one’s energy.

As a highly sensitive empath, I absorb energy from everything. Not only am I affected by the emotions and attitudes of other people, but I’m extremely sensitive to things like geopathic stress and electromagnetic stress. This often leads to exhaustion, irritability, and overwhelm.

Geopathic stress: Stress created by electromagnetic radiation, ley lines, and underground water. It’s also present in “sick building syndrome”. Injurious to health, it can affect the immune system as well as the body’s innate psychic protection and may attract ghosts or hold impressions of previous events.

Electromagnetic stress: Disharmony caused by the subtle emanations of electrical, microwave, computer, phone and radio frequencies, as well as power lines.

The following list features 10 of my favorite crystals that have been the most beneficial in managing sensitivities and raising my vibration:

Labradorite

Known as one of the most protective stones, labradorite creates an interface around the aura that filters out energies that are not beneficial and enhances spiritual connection. It allows one to be aware of other’s feelings and emotions without being overwhelmed by them. Labradorite enhances psychic abilities, aligns physical and subtle bodies, and strengthens the aura.

Tip: If you’re prone to nightmares and restless sleep, try holding a labradorite palm stone at bedtime. I sleep with one every night and it has helped me immensely. Just remember to cleanse it in between uses!

Stones with similar vibrational qualities: rainbow moonstone, black moonstone, spectrolite

Celestine

Also known as celestite, this high vibrational stone links one to higher realms and stimulates spiritual insights. It facilitates inner peace, helps to disperse anxieties and calm the emotions while promoting clarity of mind. This beautiful crystal heals the aura, assists in conflict resolution, and helps maintain a harmonious atmosphere in times of stress.

Tip: Try meditating with one of these stones and record any insights you might have in a journal afterwards. I’ve been amazed at some of the profound breakthroughs I’ve had while spending time with this amazing crystal.

Stones with similar vibrational qualities: blue lace agate, angelite, phantom quartz, apophyllite

Lithium Quartz

This variety of quartz is a natural antidepressant. Its powerful healing energies gently lift the conditions underlying the depression to the surface, neutralizing ancient anger and grief. It can reach back into past lives to dissolve the roots of emotional dis-ease that is pervading the present life. Lithium quartz is an excellent cleanser for the body’s energy centers and is extremely useful as a healer for plants and animals.

Tip: If feeling lethargic or low on energy, carry a small lithium quartz point with you in your pocket. Lithium quartz can function like an emotional battery for those that are sensitive to its vibration.

Stones with similar vibrational qualities: quartz with hematite, elestial quartz, vanadinite, zeolite

Black Tourmaline

Black tourmaline, also known as schorl; protects agains cell phones, electromagnetic smog, radiation, ill wishing, and negative energies of all kinds. Black tourmaline is the most effective block to psychic attack and is extremely efficient at absorbing negative energy. It helps one adopt a positive attitude regardless of the circumstances.

Tip: Black tourmaline is super effective as a gem elixir that can be added to cleansing sprays and used to purify the aura.

Stones with similar vibrational qualities: shungite, black kyanite, jet, tourmalinated quartz

Rose Quartz

Known as the stone of unconditional love and forgiveness, gentle rose quartz opens the heart and transforms negative emotions into positive ones. It’s an excellent stone to use during crisis or trauma, as it quickly brings peace. It transmutes negative emotional conditioning and supports positive affirmations. It purifies and opens the heart at all levels and brings deep inner healing and self-love.

Tip: Wear a rose quartz pendant over your heart to promote self-love, tranquility, and emotional healing.

Stones with similar vibrational qualities: rhodochrosite, pink danburite, rhodonite, pink petalite, pink kunzite

Fluorite

A strongly protective stone, especially against electromagnetic and geopathic pollution, as well as psychic attack. Fluorite stabilizes energy and shuts off mental manipulation. This stone cleanses and stabilizes the aura. Fluorite grounds and integrates spiritual energies and assists in dissolving illusions and negative mental patterning. Emotionally, fluorite has a grounding effect.

Tip: Place a piece of fluorite on a computer or between yourself and the source of electromagnetic fog.

Stones with similar vibrational qualities: amazonite, green aventurine, bloodstone

Smoky Quartz

Smoky quartz is one of the most efficient grounding and anchoring stones. It helps alleviate fears, soothes an active mind, and promotes emotional calmness. This protective stone gently neutralizes negative vibrations, absorbs electromagnetic smog, and blocks geopathic stress. Smoky quartz is a powerful antidote to stress and assists in tolerating difficult times while bringing in positive energy.

Tip: To dispel stress, place a stone in each hand and sit quietly for a few moments. Cleanse the stones thoroughly between uses.

Stones with similar vibrational qualities: hematite, smoky elestial quartz, apache tear obsidian

Amethyst

Amethyst is an extremely powerful and protective stone with a high vibration. It guards against psychic attack, transmuting energy into love. A natural tranquilizer, amethyst blocks against geopathic stress and negative environmental energies. Its serenity enhances higher states of consciousness. Amethyst has strong healing and cleansing powers, and enhances spiritual awareness.

Tip: Place a cleansed amethyst point towards you to draw in positive energy, and point one away from you to dispel negative energy.

Stones with similar vibrational qualities: ametrine, lepidolite, rutilated quartz, lilac kunzite, purple fluorite

Selenite

Selenite is a high vibrational stone that is said to occupy the space between light and matter. It’s an excellent crystal for repairing and re-energizing the aura. Selenite is a calming stone that instils deep peace and is excellent for spiritual work and meditation. Selenite does not allow outside influences to penetrate. A large piece within the house promotes a peaceful atmosphere.

Tip: Place other crystals, talismans, and pendants on a piece of selenite overnight for cleansing.

Stones with similar vibrational qualities: dessert rose selenite, peach moonstone, himalayan rock salt

Carnelian

An excellent stone for grounding one in present reality, carnelian is one of the oldest known healing stones. It energizes and restores vitality to the immune system. Carnelian promotes positive life choices and immense motivation, and assists one in trusting perceptions. This is a useful stone for overcoming negative emotional or mental conditioning. It calms anger and assists in banishing emotional negativity, while sharpening concentration. Mentally, carnelian improves analytic abilities and clarifies perception.

Tip: Carnelian placed near the front door of a home invokes protection and invites abundance.

Stones with similar vibrational qualities: citrine, tigers eye, golden calcite, orange-brown selenite, amber

I hope you find these crystals as beneficial as I do. Enjoy!
