✨Room Cleansing Spray ✨

This is perfect for those who want to cleanse the area before spellwork but can’t/don’t want to burn sage or palo santo! It’s also a great little pick me up and it’s very useful for grounding and centering if you use himalayan salt.

You Will Need:

- a spray bottle

- himalayan salt (protection, cleansing, grounding & centering) or sea salt (protection, cleansing, purification)

- preferably moon water but tap water is ok

- optional: dried rose petals (protection)

- lavender essential oil (purification)

- clary sage essential oil (protection, clarity, cleansing)

- tea tree essential oil (protection, purification and aura cleansing)

- definitely not optional: witch hazel (removing negativity, hexes and general dis-ease) - also makes the essential oils mix with the water. do not leave it out!!

sidenote - if you want to use this spray on you or your clothes, dilute the essential oils first to make sure you don’t develop a sensitivity!

How To Make:

1. mix a teaspoon or so of whichever salt you chose with your water and wait for it to dissolve before pouring it into a spray bottle.

2. add witch hazel in a 2 parts water 1 part witch hazel ratio

3. add a few drops of lavender essential oil, clary sage oil and tea tree oil depending on the strength of the scent you like

4. add a few dried rose petals if you want to!

5. put the lid on the bottle and give it a good shake before each use!

I personally use this for meditation, grounding & centering, before spellwork and to help me get to sleep.

Remember to always be safe with your essential oils!

💗

EDIT: be careful if you have cats because lavender is toxic to them! make sure not to spray too much or omit lavender oil from the ingredients if you want to be totally safe.

thanks for the reminder @rainbow-lava

This morning one of my bird passed away, she was the green and yellow one, her name was Shun and she was Hilda's mom. This the third time that Hilda is left alone, the first time was her sister, Freya, the second time a little one named Shaina (and that time was Hilda's fault), I don't know what to do, maybe I should left her alone... I had Shun for almost two years and the house feels so silent without her. Even if they were always fighting I know that she will miss her mom too...

I asked her if I could keep a few feathers from her tail to remember her. I lost one of my kittens too a few weeks ago and I miss him too so much...

I know that this has nothing to do with my blog but I wanted to talk about her anyway...

[kaiofthestars]

I wanted to paint a deer for Artemis, and while I was colouring, my ex best friend texted me. Our relationship right now is pretty complicated, we had a big fight and right now we're slowly trying to get back our relationship.

The other night, while talking with Artemis, I told her about how much I missed spending time with her and everything (we've been friends for four years and helped each other a lot), but I still feel out of place when I'm with her...

(Yes, it's ugly, but u never draws animals, sorry)

[kaiofthestars]

I found those pics too. I actually wanted to search for any negativity in my bedroom (is the same room where I practice, study and actually spend all of my time).

So I took a glass and poured some water into it and then added the salt. I left it in a place where I couldn't saw it for two weeks and this was the result. I totally forgot about it meanwhile.

I didn't expect it to crystallize like this. (I did it in August, btw, just forgot to talk about it here).

[kaiofthestars]

I was looking through my drafts and found this pic. This was a small spell jar I made for my boyfriend and I remembered that he loved it when I explained to him my intentions and how I made it for him. I'm really glad to have someone in my life that understand and support me...

(There was a rose inside it, but I actually had a few petals in one of my books, I've kept them for a long time, so they turned out yellow, sadly, but still)

[kaiofthestars]

I felt inspired today, so I tried to make a small statue. I'm not so used to sculpture, but wanted to try anyway. Maybe I will remake it later, but I have to get more material before doing it.

[kaiofthestars]

The most unexpected thing to me was to receive the visit of Apollo as well, I tried to talk with him and things went good, so I decided to draw a Crow carrying a small prophecy for Him and He really appreciated it. I haven't been able to complete any drawings or painting in a long time, I know is something small and simple, but it really means a lot to me.

[kaiofthestars]

I've never worked with Gods in my life, I just thought I wasn't ready, so I never studied a lot about how to works with Them.

I'm also going through a rough time, my mental health is getting worst and I feel too paralysed from my anxiety for actually talking with the ones I care about it.

Btw, yesterday I was in my bedroom and wanted to practice with my pendulum, but I had to purify it first. I was about to open my window to see it I could put out the incense stick (my room already smelled like it and since I can't always buy it, I do it so it won't get wasted), I was expecting to see the wind blowing like it did when I closed it a couple of hours earlier, but no. The sky was clear, and in front of me I could see clearly Orion (the pics is low quality, sorry) and when I looked out there was the Moon too, beautiful and bright, like I hadn't seen it in a long time.

I already had a small white candle on (that I let glow for all the night), the flame started dancing, the night was so calm and I literally cried because of how beautiful the sky was, I just felt so peaceful and calm. The candle light was reassuring, like the bonfire the first time I slept under the stars. I tried to talk to Artemis and it was so comforting, because I was starting to think that it would be a good idea if I tried to learn more about Gods worship and then She came. I could've never hoped or expected to receive an answer from Her. After talking a bit with Artemis, I tried to give Her an offer, something small, I still have to understand how to do it properly. I'm sure I made a lot of mistakes last night, but I tried my best and I will do it everyday from now on. I haven't felt so calm since the start of 2020, when my whole life started to fell apart. I had a good night of sleep (usually I can't sleep until 4 in the morning, but last night it was 2 am when I fell asleep). For the first time in my life I slept with the window open, letting the light come in without worrying (I'm really sensitive to light and my window is facing east). Last night I felt like I was in the right place and it was with Her, I'm so happy about it.

Sorry for the inactivity but I've been quite busy in the past weeks, I still have a few pages to share with you, but right now I'm a bit stuck, as I said before I'm practicing with runes and I asked some advices to a friend of mine, she recommend me some books that I can't wait to read, I'll post about it when I'll feel more confident. Also I wanted to show you the runes I made, the ones I used before where just random stones found in my home (all of them coming from the sea) but were too heavy, come were too big and some were too small, so I tried a different thing.

If you want to recommend me books I'd love to read them.

[kaiofthestars]

Here's my new bracelet, this came in today and it's so so so beautiful. I'm glad I received it so soon. I'm impressed about the fact that aliexpress has real stones and not just pieces of glass, resin or plastic.

I didn't choose casually the stone, of course. The last years has been a nightmare, I was planning to graduate this September but I still have so many exams left and I've to work really hard to get everything done.

Right now I'm trying to get my life back on track and to work harder everyday. My bf is helping me a lot and I love him so much for doing so. I need more calm and stability in my life and I wanted to represent it with Fluorite.

[kaiofthestars]

First time making black salt, I always struggle with nightmares and I made so I wanted to try it and I hope this will work. I'll made more soon of course.

[kaiofthestars]

Hello, I'm back. I started working on those pages a few days ago, but didn't really had the time to finish them.

In the next pages I will talk about runes and I'm both scared and exited because this is still a new thing to me and I don't know if so should wait more to write about them...

[kaiofthestars]

Tonight I wanted to practice with runes, this is just my second time, I still have to study a lot, but I find it really interesting and want to learn more about it. Also, if you have advices and suggestions to give me I'd love to hear them.

[kaiofthestars]

Yes, I know I switched Cancer and Gemini, it was a mistake but I redid it three times so...
