Witch Tip 🔮

Whenever you are not using your crystal ball, cover it with a dark cloth.

Partially because it’s special and magical.

But mostly because it’s a double convex lens and when a ray of sunshine goes through it, it can act like a magnifying glass and set your fucking house on fire.

What to do for the new year as a spiritual person

I thought to make a post on what me and my WHOLE family does when it’s close to the near year. We do this so that we welcome in good luck, abundance and prosperity along with wealth. It’s something that mainly my mom’s side has done for a very long time and good things happen from it (I also called this what to do for the new year as a spiritual person because me and my mom’s side of the family come from a long line of spiritual family members!)

 So first off!

Go through your shit Like seriously. Get rid of things you no longer want or need. Like clothes, nick nacks, jewelry etc. Throw things away that is trash!

Organize make things more nice and neat within your room/home. go through things to find out what needs to be taken out, trashed or placed somewhere else.

Clean now with cleaning… You gotta do some serious shit. Make sure the dish washer is always empty and no dishes are in the sink (as best as you can). Your bed is made, your bath room is nice and clean, No piling trash etc. The point is, you have to try and stay clean as much as you can until it’s finally the new year and new month. Also wash your bedding and curtains if you have any.

Cleanse my grandmother would make flour washes to welcome in prosperity and abundance. She (and my mom when she was younger) would even wash the walls too. You can play music, light a candle, burn incense, use sage, holy water, you can even use perfume or colonge to cleanse your place.

Keep it looking spotless until the new year!

Something to note:

Now this is optional but is VERY helpful. My mom told me if you wish you can dedicate your place to who ever you work with. That your home is their’s as well. That you promise to keep it clean as possible in their honor for you know they don’t like dirty things. 

You could possibly even ask them to help bring in prosperity and abundance if you promise to keep the place clean in their honor most of the time. 

Cleanliness is next to godly-ness

Another thing, My grandmother would always buy new bedding and curtains and other stuff. In with the new and out with the old basically.

Celebrate the new year with your spirit friends, guardians or deities!

WITCHY REMINDER

All of these witchblrs that you are learning from, finding resources via, being inspired by, and asking for help are spending many many hours of their day working for free for your benefit. There are countless hours of research, practice, reading, trial-and-error, and personal evolution that lead to the knowledge we give out. Our insight is the product of our blood, sweat, and tears. It’s the accumulation of /so/ much effort and hard work.

What may look like a quick correspondence post, a tiny witch tip, or a simple reading likely took the knowledge of many days’ (or weeks, or months, or years) research and practice to build up to.

In order to answer your questions, they’ve probably had all of this as well as the rude anons, the accounts that demand free services, the hate mail, and the stress of everything else going on in their lives.

Please, thank your witchblrs. Learned something from a post? Say so? Like an idea? Compliment it! Have a favorite witchy blog? Go tell them how much you love them!!

There’s so much work that goes into this all. Please. Let your favorite blogs know how much you appreciate them. Gods know they deserve it.

Winter can be a difficult time for both wildlife and green witches.

If you find yourself lacking inspiration as to how you can connect with nature during the winter, try making gifts for our furry or feathered friends! Many animals struggle to find food during this time of year and will appreciate your help.
