[ 23-02-2018 13:36 ] Recently I’ve been making my summaries by first highlighting the important things in the text and then writing those things down. I feel like it goes so much faster, and it seems more effective as well!! Also I’ve been LOVING this peach colour :)
Importance of Learning How to Learn
If you take anything away from me about doing school and learning, take this one idea away.
I promise this will be beneficial to you now and always. It will help your grades, your understanding, and your problem solving skills.
Start focusing on how you’re learning.
Make sure you’re focusing on the concepts. The why behind every thing you’re writing down/answering. Why does this work? Why is this idea or definition important? Can you break it down and explain it in your own words correctly and efficiently?
Are you just learning how to plug-and-play with numbers in algebra or do you understand why the numbers or equation works? (i.e. Why is b the y-intercept in why y=mx+b? What even is the y-intercept? Why does it result in a straight line?)
Definitions, terms, and lists/criteria are important because they help people in the field communicate. Make sure you understand the terms and not just be able to repeat what you’ve heard. (i.e. Not only list what things make water soooooooo important to biology and life and chemistry and physics? (and everything else tbh) but why does the fact that it’s less dense when it freezes make it important)
Be your own 2-year-old and ask why for everything you’re doing. Try and explain a concept to yourself in a couple of different ways. Teach chemistry to your cat (or dog or lizard or friend).
When writing out an explanation or definition or equation, also write out what each new term means, where it comes from, and what it affects.
When you get a quiz or test back, look at what you got wrong and make sure you understand why you got it wrong. Maybe you just did a calculation wrong. Maybe you missed an important word in the question. Maybe you misinterpreted what it was asking.
When you’re studying for a test, write down all the important concepts, equations, definitions, events you’ve covered. Then write down what the words mean and how it’s applicable. What event happened, why it’s important, and what happened because of it. Write the equation out and what each variable means, where it comes from, and how it affects the other variables in the equation.
How to learn is a skill just like learning an instrument! It takes time but you’ll get better with practice. Suddenly topics (“songs”) will start to be easier!
Make your studying more efficient by focusing on understanding! It might take the same amount of time (or more or less), but you’ll be better for it!

Sea Witch She asked that her pockets be filled with seashells, In the hopes she might sink To her final seabed. Her hair was entwined with crystals and light, and her eyes were a mirror Of the deepest pools. They lined her pockets With hagstones and shells, Her dark skin dusted With the softest sands. They twined her legs With loose seaweed, And placed a silver Coin on her tongue. Her long dreads of hair Fanned like sea ferns, Her body submerged Beneath gentle waves. She asked that her pockets Be filled with seashells. And now she sleeps In her final seabed.

On Patron Deities
Wicca is traditionally polytheistic, and many Wiccans will speak of their ‘patrons’… that is, a patron God, and a matron Goddess. Patrons and matrons (or just ‘patrons’ when referring to both) are the specific God(s) or Goddesses(s) a Wiccan honors and works with.
There’s no rule about patrons. You can have as few as one, or many. They are usually of the same pantheon but not always. Having a patron does not mean you need to exclude all other Gods. Generally we don’t believe the Gods are jealous or have the ‘have no other Gods before me’ policies as found in other religions. It’s okay to go to a ritual that worships another God, or to hold a ritual to a different Goddess if you wish for specific purpose.
A lot of Wiccans will tell you they did not choose their Gods, but that their Gods chose them. Many Wiccans feel they get signs of some sort. This may be an image or animal associated with a certain God or Goddess popping up a lot unexpectedly, dreams or visions. Often these are accompanied by those gut feelings, or an inner voice. I recommend doing your research and finding out who the image or animal is generally associated with.
If you don’t feel the calling, you certainly should not feel bad, the deities aren’t rejecting you.You may need to simply employ a little initiative. Start seeking deities, and approach them to see which ones will have you (or have been waiting for you to come to them in your own time). One of the best ways to get their attention is by doing offerings.
To offer something to a deity is to show and profess loyalty, gratitude and love. These are usually given in rituals.
But in doing so, you must remember the following:
What does my deity want and appreciate?
How and how often do I have to make offerings?
What materials will I use on my altar?
How frequently do I have to do it?

A WAXING MOON SPELL….
POSTED BY, PHYNXRIZNG
extra moon phases:
~Blue Moon: when there’s two full moons in a row, the second is considered a “blue moon.” blue moons are like full moons but two times stronger. they’re highly concentrated in white magic properties. great for spells, rituals, and any powerful/high level practices
~Black Moon: when there’s two new moons in a row, the second is considered a “black moon.” black moons are like new moons but two times stronger. they’re highly concentrated in black magic properties. great for shadow work, midnight magic, banishing, and high level practices
Small Witchy Challenges to Reconnect to Your Practice
Sometimes it can be hard to really feel connected to the actual magickal side of being a witch. Personally I’m involved with my deities or other spiritual/personal things 110% of the time but I don’t always feel connected to my actual witchcraft. So here are a few small magickal challenges I thought up to help anyone in a similar situation.
✨ – Set aside a time once a week to burn a candle. Make it a color that connects to whatever aspect of your life you would like insight or growth in and spend 10 minutes watching the flame and opening yourself to whatever it is you’re seeking.
✨ – If you have any books with pre written simple spells in them (most intro to witchcraft books have a section) flip through it and find a spell that calls to you and do it! As written, just to practice getting out of your head and going through the motions of spell work.
✨ – Send out blessings. To your crush. A new friend. Your best friend. Your mom. Whoever.
✨ – Call up your energy into your palms and then place them on your own heart to send yourself love and healing and to connect yourself to your energy.
✨ – Spend some time picturing the kind of witch you wish you were, your ideal witchsona if you will. Then tell yourself that’s exactly who you already are. Keep reminding yourself whenever you feel disconnected from your craft that you are already an unbelievable witch.
✨ – Go back through your old book of shadows/grimoire and reflect on what’s worked for you in the past.
✨ – Wake up and tell yourself first thing “I am a witch. I am magick. My life is full of magick. I see and feel all the magick around me. I am a witch.”
✨ – Pick out outfits or accessories that make you feel witchy. (Bonus points for intentionally planning a super witchy outfit on the full moon)
✨ – Do a spell for anything that’s coming up in your life that you want to work out a certain way, no matter how trivial it seems. Test this week? Do a spell. About to start a work out routine? Do a spell. First date? Spell. Gotta stay on budget grocery shopping? Spell. Your worth it, it’s good practice, and if it all ends up working even better!
✨ – Write down spell ideas as they come to you. Save them as notes in your phone and then come back and flesh them out in your BOS later.
✨ – Come up with your own challenges! If you’d like to share, tag me on your post or send them to me, I’d love to hear your ideas!
Simple Full Moon Ritual!
✉️🌟🕯✨🌖🌕🌔✨🕯🌟✉️
This is a very simple, yet effective, little ritual that any witch can partake in! It may serve especially well for those who may not have many tools/the privacy needed to perform a more “elaborate” practice during the full moon, or witches who don’t have a lot of time.
1). Take a moment to write a list of things that no longer serve you in your life. (This could be bad habits, relationships, jobs, additions, etc… Anything that you feel is no longer beneficial to the well-being of your mind, body, and soul).
2). Fold up your list and take it outside. Look up at the moon. (Isn’t she beautiful?) Now is the time to read your list to her!
3). Once you have finished reading your list, burn it (safely, of course). Let the ashes of your paper drift away; as you do, visualize your problems flowing out of your life, no longer existing. (Other options: bury the paper ashes, or just throw the remains away).
4). Thank the moon for her time (and the universe, as well. ♡)

The Indirect Method consists of placing your chosen crystal outside of the jar of moon water and letting it charge.

Uses for Moon Water 🌙
Due to popular demand, I’ve decided to make a post on the uses of moon water!
Add a drop to lunar spell jars based on intent
Add to a bath for cleansing and relaxation
Rinse and cleanse your hair with it in the shower
Purify and use in consumable potions for enhanced psychic abilities, relaxation, protection, or dreamwork
Make a cleansing spray and use in your home
Sprinkle a few drops around the perimeter of your home or bedroom
Use to anoint and cleanse objects such as magickal tools or crystals
Use to anoint yourself before spellwork or divination, or simply to promote peace and relaxation
Use to charge objects with lunar energy
Water your plants with it
Add it to your water cup when painting to promote imaginative thinking
Add a few drops to the washer before washing bedsheets to promote dreaming
Use as a representation of either water, the moon, or both on your altar
Combine with corresponding crystals or herbs for an added boost of energy
Fill a hollow pendant with it and wear it to represent the moon, a particular lunar phase, or one of its associated correspondences (protection, relaxation, enhanced psychic abilities, etc.)
Anoint a charm with moon water and carry it with you for protection, safe travels, or improved memory
Tips & a few words of caution:
Always purify and filter your moon water before consuming
If you plan to add crystals to your moon water, use tumbled stones so they won’t break down in the water (especially if you plan to drink it)
If you do plan to consume your moon water, store it in the fridge to extend it’s shelf life
Don’t water your plants with cold moon water; make sure it’s lukewarm or at room temperature first
If you’re unsure on what kind of intentions correspond to lunar energy, check out the links below
These are just some ideas on how to use moon water, but feel free to get creative!

Waning Moon Calming Spell
A simple spell to banish your stress as the moon goes dark.
You will need:
Moon water collected in the waning moon
Strips of paper
Something to write with
You may want to perform this at night with a view of the waning moon, but it’s not necessary.
Steps:
Prepare yourself for the spell. Ground yourself, create a witchy atmosphere, get yourself in the right mindset, or anything else you do to prepare.
On your pieces of paper, write down everything that is causing you stress. School? Work? Relationships? Mental or physical illnesses? Be specific, allow yourself to pour your emotions out and onto the paper.
When you are ready, soak the paper in your moon water and chant: “may the power of the waning moon banish my stress, anxiety and negativity. as this paper melts away into nothing so will the emotions poured into it.”
Continue until the paper falls to pieces or becomes unreadable. Dispose of the remnants.

I want to follow you all!!
