PROTECTION SPELL BOTTLE

a simple spell bottle to protect yourself mentally, physically and spiritually

WHAT YOU NEED :

salt - protection, purification

cinnamon - protection, speeds up spells, courage

rosemary - protection, purification

chilli flakes - ward of unwanted energies

bay - protection against hexes and curses

basil- peace, protection, drive away evil

ginger - make spells more powerful, protection

black pepper - protection

oak leaves- protection, wisdom

egg shells - protection

lavender - peace, healing, protection

sage (please don’t use white sage) - protection, purification

paper

pen

spell bottle jar

candles : i used a white one and the also the wax from my deity candles on my alter

WHAT TO DO:

as always, ground yourself and cast a circle in the way you prefer

light all your candles, you can also light some insence if you’d like

in no particular order, add all your herbs into the jar (using a funnel - even if you make one from paper, can be really helpful), focussing on intent

create a sigil with the intent of protection using your own words and method. draw it on a small slip of paper, fold and add to the jar.

speak affirmations into the jar focusing on the protection of yourself ( or whoever will be wearing this). You can also repeat the statement used for the sigil

put the lid on and place the jar on something you can pour the candle wax onto.

pour all the candle wax onto your spell jar, allowing it to run down the sides and even create a pool at the bottom

allow the candle wax to mainly dry and remove the bottle. it is now done. i like to put the left lever wax that’s not attached on a wax melt thingy and melt it for further protection

I hope this will help some of you! As always, change herbs or add herbs to your preferences or what you have available. Blessed be 💗 (leave any questions below as well x)

Hello, I have a quick question that I thought you might be able to answer. Does a god or goddess choose me, or do I choose them? I'm thinking of worshipping Artemis, but I don't know if I should wait for a sign from her, or offer something to her and see how she responds.

Hey Hun!! I hope this hasn’t been in my asks too long. i’m slowly trying to get through them all as quick as i can 💗

It depends on the situation and deity. Also, working with a deity and worshipping them are two separate things in my opinion. I think you can worship any deity, and if you want and they accept you start building a more personal relationship. I think that there needs to be a mutual agreement and effort on your part if you plan on working with her in your craft, as well as offerings and worship.

A god or goddess can decide they want to work with you and reach out to you, but you have a full right to respectfully deny their request. After some research, you can ask to worship a God. If you are interested in a God, you can introduce yourself, tell them what you’d like from a relationship with them and ask for a sign they’re interested. I have a few more in depth posts where i’ve spoken about this.

I would 100% try and get in contact with Artemis. From my experience she’s a lovely Goddess and very welcoming. As long as you put some effort in enittialy, i’m sure shed be more than willing for you to worship her. Just be respectful ❤️

I hope this helped and if any of my followers reading this has any more advice or you think my opinion is incorrect please leave it below in the comments

I'm sorry to bother, i've posted in a couple of forums for advice and either the algorithm hates me or no one knows how to answer but during meditation a female with brown hair in a Toga came to me and said her name was clementine. When I met her there was this warm feeling in my chest. I looked up clementine and found Clementia who is the roman goddess of clemency, forgiveness and mercy. Is there a chance this is who I had this connection with? how can I find out?? idk what to do

Hey Sweetie! Im sorry you haven’t had a response from anyone else and this is fairly recent so i hope it’s still useful.

I think the fact that this came to you in meditation and she came towards you saying her name, in addition to the warm feeling, there’s an almost certain chance it was her. Mainly because she told you her name and to me mercy and forgiveness would feel loving and warm like the feeling you described.

If you want to be certain you can : google her typical clothes and see if they also match up and ask her for another sign to be sure. Introduce yourself to her, leave an offering and see if anything happens. Remember this could be a gut feeling, a physical sign or another one in meditiation or a dream!

I hope this helps and please feel free to ask any more questions!! just leave them below 💗

PERIOD DEDICATION FOR ARTEMIS

Artemis is a virgin Godesses and i’ve always associated her with my menstruatal cycle because it’s reflecting how i’m not pregnant etc. During my period this month, i decided to dedicate it to her.

On the first day, i light her a candle and put some walnuts and fresh blackberries in a bowl for her. she seemed to really like it!

Throughout the week i kept wearing my necklace that’s dedicated to her! I also thought about her and prayed to her quite a bit!

On the last day, i put all the remaining walnuts into a jar and placed them on my alter for her 💗

Thank you Artemis for everything you do for me behind the scenes 💗 Blessed be

I'm a schizoaffective (paranoid schizophrenia plus depression) and I've got anxiety and was debating about worshipping Oizys. Could I worship her or is this a bad idea?

Hey sweetie!

Oizys is the Goddess of misery, anxiety, grief and depression which definetly links to what you’ve mentioned.

I think that working with her could be beneficial because she’ll be able to help you with those problems directly. However if the myths are anything to go by, Oizys was always portrayed as a malevolent spirit, ready to harm human kind so you might want to be extremely cautious and make sure she has your good intentions in mind. Consider reaching out to her and asking for signs or feelings that she is willing to work with you positively.

However some other, more positive and less dangerous Gods and Godesses to also consider are: Aphrodite (i heard shes great for anxiety and depression) , Apollo and lesser known, Aegle. (If you’re reading this and know of anymore PLEASE comment them below!!)

I hope this helped! Please feel free to leave any more questions in the comments so me or any of my followers can help! May the Gods be with you 💗

Hi, I saw your online coven form and I was thinking about filling in the application, but I have never been part of a coven before and I don't really know what to expect and/or if there's "rules" or that kinda thing. I've been a witch for years and I never researched about covens as I never intended to join one, but now I'd like to try something new, if that makes sense. Could you explain what to expect from a coven (or from *your* coven maybe?) Thank you! 🤗

Hey!!!

Honestly, i haven’t been in a coven before - including an online coven, so i cant say anything on what other covens expect or are like.

However, the one i’m making is going to be quite informal. i want it to more be like a group of witch friends who will help each other in spells and rituals. On Sabbats we can do the same rituals together with the same intent (maybe a rotor so that each person can do one each). Same thing for Full Moons etc. But ofc no one will be forced to do anything.

It will be a place to help each other, educate each other and just talk about our craft and beliefs.

If you haven’t already here’s the link to the application 💗: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfdS9zXYGe1Y2dZ71ZlSvj5c-K29t-0dnpmbBp_nayj7oVyKA/viewform

Hello! This 10000% does. There are so many Catholic Witches on Tumblr and in the world as well. Your religion is speparate to your craft unless you decide to link it.

If you look up ‘Catholic Witches’ or ‘Christian Witch’ or something like that on here, You’ll find a large community and blogs who are that.

Hi I’m not particularly new to witchcraft but I’ve been having very intense dreams the past two days both of them involve me striking something with lightning or someone in my dream striking something with lightning and it’s started to trouble me and I can’t figure out its a deity or some sort of foreshadowing as I can’t figure it out (I apologise if this bothers you if it does you can just delete the ask but it’s starting to freak me out and I can’t figure out what the dream means) 1/2

2/2 : And I was just wondering if you or anyone else is having intense dreams right now that are making you feel uneasy and how to deal with them. Thank you and i apologise if i have over stepped a boundary.

Hey! First of all don’t apologise at all! You’ve not overstepped a boundary and its not bothering me! I hope my answer can help in some way.

Dieties and The Gods:

The most obvious answer to this is that Zeus is trying to reach out. He is the God of lighting and it’s one of his symbols. Intense dreams that reoccur to do with sacred items to Gods can often be signs from them they want to work with you. I would suggest trying to contact him and asking if this is him. If you wish to work with him, explain this but if you do not, explain why and ask him to stop sending you the dreams.

Foreshadowing:

There’s an awful lot of talk at the moment about the end of the world and signs it is coming. Whilst these dreams could be forshadowing and warning you that this will become reality, it could also be that it’s very present in your subconscious mind at the moment. Ask yourself: have i been thinking about this a lot recently? what’s been worrying me? If you find it’s something sinister like this, this could also explain it.

ME AND OTHER PEOPLE:

i’ve heard a lot of witches and spiritual people talk at the moment about how the energy is a bit crazy and chaotic atm. This is because of the moon, and also the crazy amount of energy at the moment due to the Black Lives Matter movement and Pride Month. This energy has been giving a lot of my witch friends crazy or intense dreams as well so this could also be a factor.

I hope this helped in some way! If you have any more questions please feel free to ask them in the comments, and readers, if you have any advice for them please also leave that! Thank you and may the Gods be with you all ❤️
