Blue moon offering 

3.31.18

[astrolomen]

The first new moon of 2018 (January 16th) is going to be WILD.

There will be a whopping SIX planets in Capricorn. The Sun, Moon, and Mercury will make a square to Uranus, suggesting that we’ll be tempted to make a responsible, structured change during this new moon that will propel us toward whatever significant goals that we have. Mars in Scorpio makes a conjunction to Jupiter in Scorpio, meaning that we’ll have ample opportunity to pursue these changes along with the drive and energy to actually follow through successfully.

Also notable to mention is that those born during the Uranus/Neptune conjunction in Capricorn will have transiting Pluto in Capricorn conjunct their natal Uranus and Neptune, along with the transiting Sun, Moon, and Mercury, further demonstrating that this is a time for innovation and making strides to achieve our ideals and dreams. The same goes for if you have Saturn in Capricorn.

Think about what you want from your life, and prepare for this new moon in whatever way you see fit. New moons are good for “new beginnings”, so now is the cosmic time to start something you haven’t had the courage to pursue before. It’s going to be potent.

PSA: YEW IS LETHALLY TOXIC. DO NOT BURN.

A message to witches/pagans/lumberjacks out there: As Christmas/Yuletide comes around I know you’re going to want to burn Yew for both its ceremonial properties and it’s slow burn, but please remember that it is a HIGHLY TOXIC tree with VERY toxic smoke. Fatalities in livestock, children, and even some adults have occurred for CENTURIES because of the handling and burning of this wood. I mean, death due to this stuff dates back to the Roman times and further! I would avoid it in the fires as much as I could.

After work today, I ended up at Five Below with my friend Kay. We were looking around for a last minute Halloween costume for her and I happened to spot a Tarot deck…. A Tarot deck for $5.00! It is called Secrets Of Tarot by Amanda Hall. I know how popular my post about the $3.99 Tarot deck from Spirit Halloween was so I wanted to share this one as well. This deck comes with a full-color wire-bound guidebook and a 78 card deck. The cardstock is on the thin side but for the price, I do not mind it at all. The card images look digitally aged, the backs are beautiful and each card has a little phrase on the bottom. I think this Tarot kit is a fabulous deal for those who are looking for a deck on a budget, someone wanting to buy their first deck, a second or spare deck. A deck to gift to someone or a deck to use for artwork. This is also would make the perfect halloween/samhain gift.

If this post has helped you, or you know a friend who may gain help from this post, feel free to share the post, reblog it, or tag them. It would mean a lot to me.

If you would like to purchase this deck online, from the same in person shop I purchased mine, you can do so HERE. Also funny tidbit… I think this was actually @static-chaos‘s first deck if I am not mistaken?

Making Fabric Poppets

I want to teach you all how I make my fabric poppets, and how you can make your own too. Here is my post detailing all of what I do to make my adorable plush fabric poppets.

I also sell them if making them yourself is too much fuss for any reason. Here are details.

——Supplies——

- Fabric of your choice- My fabric of choice is fleece. The fabric should be a color you can match with your intent, personality, etc.

- Person-shaped pattern to trace- You can use a gingerbread man cookie cutter to make your paper pattern, free hand, or if you like you can use mine which I will gladly sell you a copy of- message me for details.

- Needle and thread- You can use different thread colors for different intentions.

- Stuffing and any extras- herbs, objects, etc.

- A marker of a similar but darker color than the fabric

- Scissors

-Step 1-

Lay out your fabric. Lay down the poppet pattern on the fabric. I prefer to weight them down with rocks so they don’t shift. (You can of course choose rocks that match your intent.)

-Step 1.5-

I then trace the patter with a maker that is of a similar color to the fabric, but off enough that I can see it. Don’t worry about being super clean with your lines because they will be hidden in the inside seams.

-Step 2-

Next, to sew the pieces together. Place them together so that the side with the marker line faces out.

Then, grab your needle and thread. Thread your needle.

Be sure to have a piece of thread to work with that is about as long as your arm. This should be enough for the whole poppet, but make sure to have more on hand just in case.

-Step 3-

Start your sewing in the place where the opening will end later. I typically choose the “armpit” of the poppet because then the opening gives me great access to all of its insides for later.

I use a kind of slip stitch for sewing. Really any stitch will do, but I will show you mine. I put the needle all the way through both pieces of fabric to make a loop, and before tightening I stick the needle through the loop, then tighten. This makes a kind of knot that is durable and nice looking. Here’s a picture:

Aside- Why I hand sew- I find the process of hand sewing to be not only relaxing but also more magical. I can focus on my intentions while I sew, and with each stitch I’m fastening my energy into it. This is by no means the only way you can sew them together, but it is my personal preferred way.

 Continue sewing around to join the two pieces of fabric. **Remember to leave a 1.5in opening! Also leave your thread attached!** This is the only way to turn it inside out and hide the seams.

- Step 4-

Turn it inside-out. Reach inside and grab the top of the poppet’s head and pull it through the hole like shown. You may need to poke around a bit to make sure everything is fully turned right-side-out.

-Step 5- Once right-side-out, your poppet is ready for stuffing. Start with the appendages first, that way you can make sure they are well-fluffed. After that, if you want add in balls of stuffing in the places of major organs to make it more human. (A ball for a brain, a ball for a stomach, that kind of thing)

If you like, add in herbs or objects for your intent, or keys to link the poppet with the person that you’re targeting. Consider positions of the objects and herbs inside the poppet and the significance. I added rose petals in the head and heart of this one, and mint and rosemary in the stomach. That gives it some symbolism, and what witch doesn’t enjoy symbolism?

-Step 6- When it is stuffed to satisfaction, sew up the opening with the same stitch we sewed with before flipping it. This leaves a rough edge, and I actually like it that way. It makes it easier to cut open the stitching if you ever wanted to for any reason. I can’t be the only person that’s wanted to rip someone’s stuffing out (there’s a curse idea) so I hope you find it useful too.

Do a couple more stitches to assure your thread isn’t going anywhere and then cut it off.

Ta-da! A perfect poppet for all of your witchcraft needs.

Happy crafting!

reblogging for future reference. I love seeing how people work magic, thank you for sharing.

[orriculum]

i couldn’t tell whether one of my ingredients vials was salt or sugar, so i dabbed a little on my tongue to taste and find out which, and was very upset to taste that it was lavender epsom salt. not a good experience. 

always label your bottles, witches.

[zelldas]

if you want to buy moonstone jewelry like…please be aware that half the people on etsy and wherever selling “moonstone” jewelry are actually selling you opalite which is just….glass with added effects. moonstone and opalite are not the same thing lol….so many people are getting ripped off on etsy because of this and it kind of bothers me

[zelldas]

this is real, natural “rainbow” moonstone: 

this is opalite, which is synthetic opalised glass:

I’ve been trying to warn people about this for years! It’s such a huge issue, just like heat-treated amethyst being sold as ‘citrine.’

Alright, its time to not be lazy and write this stuff down.

How Lizzy Does a Fairy Box

——

Supplies needed

a gift box

a writing surface

sugar

flowers

cinnamon 

scented oil

orange peels

lavender

rose petals

other flowery or sweet herbs

a note card

crystals

bay leaf

1. Anoint the box with the sweet scented oil.

2. Design a magic circle upon the drawing surface with the desire of attracting the desired type of fae. Then place the box upon the circle

3. place the herbs, sugar, and flowers into the box. Do your best to make it look pretty

4. Upon the bay leaf write the name you wished to be called. You will place it into the box, then add a lock of hair to the box.

5. Finally, you will place your hand upon the box and announce its purpose.

“Come fair from all around.

This gift is for those merry.

from circle and your mound,

This gift is for the kind fairy”

write the specific faery (or just faery in general) on the note and place the note card on the box. You will then place the box where you want to work with the faeries.

I would suggest outside or in your garden if possible.
