u ever just want to sit at the bottom of a pool or something. like if i could breathe underwater it would be a really nice, peaceful environment. especially if it was sunny and the water was nice and warm. just sittin there, watching the sunlight dance on the tiles? yeah. that’s a nice thought
🌊 Sea Witch Essentials 🌊
~ This is what I personally do and use in my craft, I’ve debated posting this because I love the sea more then most things, the crystals listed or what I associate and what reminds me of the sea, you can use whatever though! The sea calls to people in many different ways so whatever you see fit lovelies. 💙
~ Let it also be known that you do not have to live by the ocean to be a “sea witch” anyone’s love for the sea has no limits. ✨
🐚 CRYSTALS 🐚
~ Blue Lace Agate: Clarity, confidence in ones communications and actions, helping one to stay calm in anxious situations or times. 🌀 you can put this in water.
~ Amazonite: Helps speaking ones truth, harmony and peace. 🌀 you can put this in water.
~ Blue Apatite: Helps with physic activation, knowledge, cleansing of the mental and spiritual body, and stimulates visionary states. 🔱 do not put in water.
~ Aquamarine: Soothing and calming, helps one enhance clear communication. 🌀 this can go in water!
~ Green Aventurine: Vitality, confidence and growth in all forms, helps one move through transformations with a positive outlook! 🌀 this can go in the water!
~ Blue Aventurine: Inner strength, self discipline and awareness, as well as physic awareness. 🌀 this can go in the water!
~ Azumar: Personal growth, joy, refresh and insight, communication with oceanic creatures. 🌀 this can go in water!
~ Blue Calcite: Helps with ones physic abilities, astral traveling, soothing and calming for the emotional body. 🔱 this cannot go in water!
~ Blue Chalcedony: Helps to bring one to their center, calmness, inner knowledge and serenity. 🌀 this can go in the water!
⚓️ DECOR ⚓️
This is so fun!! There is so many ways you can decorate your altar or home when it comes to the sea! These are some of my favorite. 💙
~ Seashells! And sea glass! Real or fake, whatever is easier for you!
~ Sand! You can gather some from your local crafts store or a body of water near you.
~ Netting! You can use it as your altar cloth, or if you like braiding or weaving, use it to tie off sachels.
~ Statues or images of ships, compasses, maps, anchors or even sun dials!
~ You can also have statues or images off mermaids, krakens or anything else that resides in the sea!
~ bones or scales of fish, shark teeth, etc.
DEVOTIONAL ACTS FOR THE SEA🏴☠️
Just as we do acts of kindness for our Earth, we need to do it for our seas as well. For they are a world of their own.
~ If able, learn how to sail! Drive a boat, or simply row.
~ Sail in a ship or a boat! Try any type of sea travel.
~ Pick up trash at your local beach or board walk.
~ Learn about the types of waves and rip tides, how to watch out for them above the water.
~ Better yet take classes on how to properly escape and handle one just in case. Please practice water safety. Please.
~ Learn about the types of sea creatures and sea plants that live and dwell near you! Or if you’re not by any ocean learn about your local wildlife and plants by lakes, streams, etc.
~ Listen to Oceanic or water soundscapes! My favorite is: Ocean Rain Sounds by Ocean Waves Radiance!
~ Do yoga, meditate, or workout on the beach! Or by a body of water!
~ Read the tales and stories of pirates, sirens, and sailors! Read of the stories and sing their songs.
~ Learn the places of a ship! The keel, hull, deck, stern, port, etc!
~ And for the love of Davy Jones himself and all things I hold dear, do not attempt to play with the sea or water wildlife and don’t pick the plants. No matter how pretty, or tempting.

Moodboard || Poseidon - Sea
Devotional Activities: Zephyrus
Chimes: Wind chimes are always nice to listen to and a good homage to him and his siblings
Kites: Make your own, buy one, doesn't matter. Just get out on a nice breezy day and fly one.
Wind pipes: Or more any wind instrument. Learn to play them, play music more wind based.
Cloud watching: Take a breather and just watch the clouds pass on a breezy day
Pale blue: Burn pale blue candles, wear pale blue, paint or color with it. Gentle color that embodies the air and wind
Devotional Activities: Poseidon
Beach: Have a beach day. Spend your time relaxing in his domain
Horses: Go horseback riding. Place imagery of them on your alter, draw them, or wear shirts with them on it.
Shells: Collect shells from the beach. Use them as offerings or do something with them (ie. make necklaces or frames)
Charities: Donate to a charity meant for beach cleanup or ocean cleanup. Be an active part of keeping his domain clena
Surf: If you know how to get out there and shred it up if you don't why not take a lesson? And if you can't don't be ashamed to grab that boogie board and sit on it at the beach. The point is to connect
Ocean Breeze Candles: When you want to be close to the ocean but just can't for whatever reason you can at least pretend and smell the salty air.
Low key Ritual: Asking for Healing from Asclepius
So I realize that many young ones in our community can’t have alters or do rituals because of varying reasons so I thought I’d try to help with some Low key rituals that can be done easily.
For this ritual I am basing it off of a ritual on hellenion.org. The ritual on the site is a full on ritual and very good for others who can worship openly. I’ll link it Here
Keep reading
I'm going to try this when I can for my eye!
Low Key Offerings
Here are offerings to the gods without looking like offerings to the gods
Books: Great for Athena, but can be offered to other gods as well. I offered "The Art of War" to Ares once.
Drawings: Of the gods or of anything else. If drawn for them they work
Poems/Written works: Poems, stories, songs. They all can be written or typed and printed and set on the alter or other area dedicated to the gods
Jewelry: Any kind. They just look like you set jewelry down
Keepsake Box: I did this as a offering box and also as an offering to Artemis when I was younger
Coins: Good for Charon, Hermes, and Hades
Flowers: Everyone loves flowers and they just look like decor
Statues/Figurines: It's art. As long as you aren't overly decorating them or putting other offerings at their feet no one will think "Hey now that there's an offering"
Stuffed animals: My kids do this. Recently a stuffed owl was offered to Athena
Sea Shells: You can just put them in a pretty box or jar.
Lessons from the Gods
These are personal lessons I have learned while interacting with individual gods that I thought could be helpful lessons to others as well
Zeus- One’s past mistakes should not influence their present chances, within reason.
Hera- It is alright to not be a perfect mother and you shouldn’t try hiding any postpartum. It is better to admit the fear, pain, and bad thoughts and get help than to let them fester.
Hephaestus- Beauty belongs to those who stand tall despite what others say… Focus on what you can do and not what you can’t. Please yourself not others
Apollon- There’s a “beast” in each of us that we must face daily and you won’t always win, but you should keep fighting anyways.
Artemis- “Roles” are just loose guidelines that one should not take seriously. Do you. Always do you
Persephone- Your story will change with each new mouth that speaks it. Don’t let it bother you. You know the truth and those who matter will know the truth. That is what is important
Hermes- You can be extremely childish and act dumb all you want and still be extremely smart, cunning, and mature when the situation calls for it
Nyx- Elegance and grace does not come naturally to everyone and if it doesn’t for you but you still wish to cultivate it do not give it up.
Hestia- Spoiling others for no real reason makes you feel so much happier.
Aphrodite- Whatever makes you feel beautiful is alright. If you feel beautiful covered in makeup wonderful. If you feel beautiful all natural, wonderful. If you feel beautiful with mud on your face.. Guess what? That’s wonderful. Real beauty shines through when you feel happy in your skins, no matter what covers it.
Hades- Doom and gloom is fun. Doom and gloom does not spell evil. Take pride in your personal doom and gloom. ((I like watching creepy stuff in the middle of the night and can’t fall asleep without a good ghost video playing and that’s awesome))
Athena- there is always more to learn and asking questions, no matter how “silly” or “stupid” they feel, is not something to apologize for.
Thanatos- Being death positive is a good thing. We shouldn’t fear the most natural of things. Yes it is hard to imagine being gone from this world, but it is better to embrace it now and have things planned then to leave your loved ones with nothing to go on. Own your mortality and make it amazing while you can
Morpheus- Dreams don’t have to end when you open your eyes, you just have to keep working for them.
Skipping Witch Tip Wed #8
Sorry fellow witches.
I need to skip posting for a bit as I've had eye surgery and can't handle looking at screens for too long.
Hugs, kisses, and best wishes.

Yall…. Stop bathing in grocery store rose petals.
Stop using them in teas and salves and skin toner too.
Mass produced roses like the ones we find in grocery stores of flower shops are beautiful! - By design.. And “by design” I mean by chemicals and pesticides. They’ll wreck your skin far more than help (especially if you have sensitivities or allergies[ @ me] ). Make sure ANY flowers or herbs or roots you use are certified for culinary or therapeutic use. Get them from credible places. And use common sense.
Free advice, take it or leave it.
Omg yes. This goes for any flower of course, not just roses.
Always use local growers if you can because that way you can be sure that they haven’t been sprayed. And local florists =/= local grower. Any transported flower, which means most cut flowers from florists too, will have to get sprayed as part of the importing/shipping process.
