Painting blood-soaked fur is pretty difficult.

Crouched, waiting,

A single breath then silence.

O' Sekhmet,

Lioness Eye of Ra,

your hunt is my hunt.

I stalk the long hunt of prey,

following your pawprints.

As I bite the flesh of my kill,

I feel reborn.

My limbs grow strong,

My heart widens.

Dua Sekhmet!

O' Lady of Red Linen!

Baby Witch Tips:

🧙🏻 It’s okay to not practice every day. Sometimes you don’t feel like it.

🧙🏻It’s okay to not use your tarot every day.

🧙🏻 It’s okay to not have a deity. It’s okay to have multiple, just make sure that the deities you want are okay with it.

🧙🏻 It’s okay to only practice one thing, like spells or sigils.

🧙🏻 It’s okay to ask questions! Please ask questions!

🧙🏻 It’s okay to second guess yourself and do research. You have to do research, and thoroughly, as a Witch. It’s part of the culture.

🧙🏻 It’s okay to not have altars or crystals. You don’t have to have them.

🧙🏻 You are NOT less of a witch just because you don’t practice everyday or if your practice is online or you only write in a grimoire.

You are valid and regardless of what the stigma says because it is your practice and you practice on your terms!

Energy and Productivity Spell Jar

this is a quick spell jar meant for long-term use (a few months). its purpose is as a battery, to charge the room with energy so that you can have access to an energy source. i added a productivity sigil to transmute the energies passing through the jar into productive energy. it’s perfect for days when you have no spoons but still need to get stuff done!

Ingredients:

sea salt [as a desiccant and an energy source]

heather blossoms [for perseverance]

black tea leaves [for energy]

dried rosemary [for improved memory and concentration]

a sprig from a pine tree [for resilience and inner strength]

an ‘energy’ and ‘productivity’ sigil [here is my energy sigil]

clear quartz [for energy transmitting], flourite [for concentration and productivity], and tigers eye [for determination and hard work]

a suitable small jar with a lid

[remember to use dried herbs and flowers as this spell jar will be sealed and is for long term use]

start by combining the sea salt with the dried heather blossoms - if you don’t have access to heather, you can substitute with thyme blossoms. add a layer of this to the bottom of your jar.

next, add a layer of black tea leaves, you can also use the contents of a tea bag rather than whole leaves. green or black tea would work well.

after this, add a layer of dried rosemary to the top. if you are using home-grown rosemary, break the sprigs up so they make an even layer.

next, draw an energy sigil on a piece of paper, and on the other side draw a productivity sigil. draw these in green or yellow ink. cut the card out so that it fits snugly in the lid of your jar.

take the pine sprig and push it into the jar so that it is standing vertically through the layers.

screw the lid on tightly, and add your crystals either on top of, or around your jar. use your finger or wand to draw circles around the lid of the jar, setting your intention and activating the sigils.

place on a windowsill or shelf, with the crystal points facing inwards towards the room. periodically recharge the jar - either under the moon or with a wand.
