⛧ Lunar Cycle

Since the flower moon just passed I thought I'd write some info about the moon cycles and their properties

There are four primary moon phases : New Moon, First Quarter, Full Moon, and Last Quarter.

There are also four secondary phases : Waxing Crescent, Waxing Gibbous, Waning Gibbous, and Waning Crescent.

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

🌑 New Moon - For new beginnings. Allow the empty sky to invite your new intentions. Everything has been cleared making way for manifestations.

🌒 Waxing Crescent - For intention setting. Illumination is only growing, begin planting seeds as you find motivation.

🌓 First Quarter - For taking action. This turning point reminds you that now is the time for action, the inner work is done.

🌔 Waxing Gibbous - For refinement and change. Be realistic with your manifesting pursuits. If your plans are are not panning out this is the time to make changes and adjustments.

🌕 Full Moon - Harvest of abundance. Symbolizes completion and accomplishment. Enjoy the fruits of your labor or make deep internal promises to yourself

🌖 Waning Gibbous - Gratitude for abundance. The outside world may feel like it's growing dim, like the moon in this phase. Connect with yourself to overcome.

🌗 Last Quarter - For cleanse and release. Use your innermost discernment to rid of old patterns and habits which hold you back.

🌘 Waning Crescent - For surrender and relaxation. Let yourself relax, indulge in self care to prepare for the next cycle.

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

When phases come up I will individually talk about rituals and things to do under them, this is just an overview.

🌙 WHAT IS MOON WATER?

You can create Moon water by leaving water outdoors to charge under the moonlight. Because the Moon affects the ocean’s tides, there’s already an energetic connection between the element of water and the Moon. When you add intention (and maybe a crystal or two), you can create a tool that can be used for everything from watering your plants to adding to your bath to cleansing your home.

🌙 TO CREATE MOON WATER YOU’LL NEED:

A jar or container (I recommend a mason jar or other clear jar, but any jar, glass, or even Tupperware will do)

Water (from a tap, from a bottle, from a river…just make sure it’s safe to drink if you plan on doing so)

A label to date your Moon water and note which sign and phase the Moon is in (like “Full Moon in Taurus, October 31, 2020”)

Water-safe crystals, like rose quartz, clear quartz, or amethyst (optional)

Cleansing herbs, like mugwort (ruled by the Moon), lavender (for relaxation and healing), rosemary (for protection), or sweetgrass (for positive energy) (optional)

A lighter and bowl to burn the herbs (optional)

An intention to focus on, such as peace, love, or acceptance (optional)

MOON WATER 💧 is traditionally charged at night under the light of the Full Moon, when lunar energy is at its most potent and we’re easily able to connect to our intuition. You can also make Moon water during a Gibbous Moon, when the Moon is almost full. Never make Moon water during an eclipse—eclipse energy overpowers lunar energy, so it’s not a good time to do this kind of work.

Whichever phase you choose, check which zodiac sign the Moon is in, because this will affect the energy of the water. For example, Moon water charged under a Full Moon in Taurus, ruled by Venus, will encourage love and pleasure, and Moon water charged under a Full Moon in Gemini, ruled by Mercury, can help you claim your voice.

If you’re using any of the following, begin by cleansing your jar or container with smoke from your herbs, sticking on your label, and adding crystals to your jar. Then add water. Place your jar somewhere outside so it can absorb the Moon’s energy—even if you can’t see the Full Moon, the water will still charge.

If you’d like, you can take a moment to meditate: Hold your palms over the water and picture the lunar energy moving through the crown of your head, down your spine and arms, through your body, and out of your palms into the water. As you do so, focus on the intention you’re setting, then thank the universe for letting you connect with the cosmos. Finally, leave the water to charge overnight. In the morning, you’ll have Moon water!

🌙 HOW TO USE MOON WATER:

Okay, so you made Moon water. Now what do you do with it? Lucky you, there are many options:

Use it to clean your altar, sacred space, crystals, or any ritual tools

Add it to a ritual bath

Make ice cubes

Use it to cleanse your floor (yep, you can just add it to your PineSol!)

Dip your brushes in it when you paint

Use it to water your plants

Create a fragrant room spray by adding essential oils and alcohol

Use it in your essential oil diffuser

Drink it so you can absorb it into your body

Use it to anoint your body, as a way of energetically cleansing yourself

And if you think of another use, go for it. Get creative and let the magick of the Moon and your heart guide you. As witches say, and so it is! ✨

Honey Lavender Bread

submitted by @materiamystica​

½ cup Greek yoghurt ½ cup plain flour 1tsp baking powder ¼ tsp salt 1 tbsp dried lavender 1 tbsp honey 1 egg, beaten

The intent is to increase mental clarity and connection. To clear your spiritual and mental brain fog so that you can think and see more clearly again. To improve clarity of vision and connection to your heart’s desire. Lavender is employed to stimulate clarity and connection, cleansing, memory, passion, peace of mind, healing, love, passion and retention. With the honey for added sweetness and stickiness to make visions all the more sweet, and memories stick more permanently. Harvesting your own lavender can also be intended to honour Lammas, too!

1. Mix everything in a bowl and preheat the oven at 350 F. 2. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead adding more flour until it’s no longer sticky and has formed a nice stretchy bread dough. 3. Put into a floured loaf tin. 4. Brush top with egg wash. 5. Bake in the oven for 20-30 minutes until a golden crust has formed and a skewer comes out clean. 6. Slice and enjoy!

What is Grounding? 🌎✨

Grounding or “earthing” is the practice of attuning your body and energy to the Earth’s frequency. The Earth constantly vibrates at the frequency of 7.83 Hertz aka the “Schumann Resonance.” This frequency is created in the Earth’s electromagnetic field by the electrical interaction between the Earth’s surface and the ionosphere.

Top 3 Grounding Methods 🌲🌳🌲

Walking Barefoot

One of the easiest and best ways to ground is walking barefoot on the Earth. Letting your skin touch the ground is all that needs to happen. 

2. Tree Root Meditation

Get into a comfortable position sitting or standing.

Close your eyes and take 2 deep, mindful breaths. Consciously relax.

When you feel ready, set your intention to ground to the Earth. In your mind’s eye, visualize roots sprouting from the soles of your feet or the base of your spine and growing into the Earth. See the roots reaching the Earth’s core and wrapping around it.

Picture a golden energy emitting from the Earth’s core and radiating up the roots to reach you where you stand or sit.

Take a moment to feel the sensation of the Earth’s energy knowing you are connected with it.

3. Water

Interact with the element of water in whatever way is available to you. You can take a bath, wash your face, drink tea, or dip your feet in an ocean or stream.

Benefits of Grounding 📚

Research present suggests there is the potential to experience physical, emotional, and mental benefits from grounding.

A 2015 study proposes grounding may reduce inflammation and accelerate healing in a similar function as antioxidants.

In a 2018 study involving 16 massage therapists, grounding reduced pain and elevated mood.

A study in 2015 suggests one hour of grounding can improve mood more than relaxation alone.

Grounding is a fundamental part of a healthy spiritual practice. I ground during meditation, before and after spell work, and when I feel anxious or unbalanced. I would encourage you to give grounding a try and notice how you feel!

[greenlumiere]

GOOD MORNING, WORLD☀️🍀

This morning is magical for me. I practiced "Grounding " and I felt something warm and happy. It's really cool feeling!

Also, today I'll go to countryside and spend time with my friends and with nature.

I have a plan to meditate on riverside next morning. I hope, that I'll do it after very fun night 😅👌

I'm teaching to see magic in daily life, in simple things. And , OMG, it's really cool.

My next goal in practice: try to work with oracle decks from book by Maia Toll "Magical Herbarium".

👣Steps (+ witchy inspo)🧙‍♀️

Pre-heat oven at 350°F/180°C. Butter the cake pan of your preference and add flour (or a parchment paper if you like to use it).

Pour the water in a little bowl with the oatmeal and set it aside (mind your intentions!).

Mix the dry ingredients. Start chanting or singing along those lyrics that you just love.

Pour the rest of the ingredients, and keep mixing and dancing. Note: picture those who'll eat the cake receiving the blessings you're stating.

☀️ Lemon Lavender Litha Cookie RECIPE! ☀️

This was highly requested so here we go! I hope you enjoy this recipe, and I also wish all of you a beautiful and bright Litha!

YOU WILL NEED:

• 1 cup room temperature butter

• 1 1/4 cup powdered sugar (regular sugar is fine, but powdered is recommended for a fluffier cookie)

• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

• 2 cups flour (i actually ended up using around a 1/4th of a cup more, but it depends on how wet/dry your dough is)

• Splash of coconut milk

• 1 large lemon’s worth of zest

• Half a lemon squeezed

• 1 1/2 tbs dried lavender

Add your butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, lemon juice and zest to a large mixing bowl. Mix together until smooth.

Gradually add your flour. When it comes together, add in the lavender and kneed dough with your hands until all flour is combined. You’re looking for a soft, pliable dough that’s still moist but dry enough to roll.

Roll the dough into desired thickness, cut out your shapes (i did circles and stars, just because 😊). Bake these yummy cookies for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown on the bottom. Cool completely and serve with a glaze. I made my glaze with powdered sugar, lemon juice and concentrated lavender tea.

To make this magickal, it’s important to know the key ingredient correspondences!

Lavender is used for calmness, serenity, purification and rest.

Lemon can be used for sun and moon magick, happiness, aura purification, rejuvenation and longevity.

Feel free to add other herbs or spices to make this recipe unique to your practice!

I meditated a lot while making this recipe, and invited my deities to be with me while I worked. I put my personal intentions for rejuvenation, serenity and happiness for the upcoming summer months. I lit some candles, cast a circle before starting and spent some time really focusing on my desired outcome.

I hope you enjoy this Litha recipe! Have fun with it, and have a blessed sabbat ☀️

Crystals

~ What are Crystals and what are they used for?

   Most crystals ( in this case including gems, rocks, precious stones, semi-precious stones, and simple stones) are of mineral origin. Crystals, like amethyst, come out of the ground naturally faceted and don’t need to be changed in anyway. Diamonds, for example, come out of the ground equally as rough, but are usually polished and cut into intricate styles.

 For many years, crystal have been used as a tool to aid spiritual healing, psychic development, and meditation.

~ How can I incorporate Crystals into my everyday life?
