I think one of the biggest misconceptions about magick and spell casting is the idea that you have to include words in your spells, and that’s just not true. If your intent is clear in your own mind, then that’s all you really need. The tools, supplies, and incantations are only there to boost your innate power.
A moment
I had my Lughnasadh moment this morning. I usually have a moment where I ‘feel’ the season. That moment was this morning. I went outside to pick blackberries for my breakfast. I had my possum joey on my arm. He was stealing the blackberries from the bowl and smooshing them into his mouth. I looked down at him and smiled. I then glanced at the dry grass stalks (my inner Lughnasadh image), the blackberry bushes with the lush berries, the beautiful dusky sky and finally the waning moon. <3 Hello harvest festival.
My boyfriend is doing something awesome.
He’s making an online spell maker/ witch encyclopedia
Basically you can type in an intent or keywords and get ideas for spells
Or you can type out everything you want and it is also color coded (key words like love are red, courage is orange, etc.) and do cyber spells
It’s not done yet but once it is I’ll for sure be sharing on here!
gotta look this up to see if they ever finished this.
We plan on releasing it soon, the only thing is that not every ingredient has been added and after its out we may still be in the process of adding
Look forward to it! Android?
Certainly it works on all phones since it’ll be a web app, but it can be added to your home screen for convenience :)
I’m dying waiting for this
It’s out !!! @the-witch-in-wonderland

Hello, friends, and welcome to Week 2 of the 2016 Grimoire Challenge! We started the challenge with a bang last week and I know we’re going to take all that excitement and use it to motivate ourselves throughout the rest of the month.
Here are a couple things to remember: please tag your challenges with the appropriate tag. If you want to see your post on this tumblr, make sure to tag it with #2016 grimoire challenge. That is the only tag in which I will be looking for posts.
I will also only be reblogging posts that apply to the current week. For example, once this post is up, I will only be reblogging posts that fulfill at least one of the challenges from this week. You may do as many or as few of the challenges as you like and I highly encourage adapting them to fit your needs.
You do not have to sign up to join this challenge - simply start participating in the challenge and tag your posts should you choose to share them. If you have any remaining questions, please consult the FAQ before sending me an ask.
Got it? Awesome, let’s get into this week’s challenges:

Grimoire Challenge - Week Two, Correspondences
I really enjoyed this activity and am so glad to have this all written down now. Most of these I use only for cooking (what little I do). I have some more dried herbs, plants, and flowers up in my work room and will write them all down later. I wanted to try a test print on this paper and added a cute stamp in the corner.
Looks great!
Dust off your old journal, open up that computer file - it’s time to fill your grimoire or book of shadows with things you’ll actually use and refer back to. We’re going to do a lot together this year! Don’t worry if you don’t get to participate every month - each month is designed to stand alone, meaning you can jump in whenever and not wonder what’s going on!
Each month, we’ll focus one or two different themes per month. There are six broad categories that don’t change from month to month, though they do get more specific. We will also have guest speakers each month who will speak to their areas of knowledge.
This challenge thrives on participation, so if you find a great resource don’t be afraid to tag it with #2016 grimoire challenge! If you create something that you want to share with us - please do!
I’m going to cautiously suggest that you have a “draft grimoire” - December will be the month in which we focus on compiling what we’ve gathered and making it look nice. I, personally, am going to be using a computer file to complete the challenge and then index cards to help me organize my thoughts before I begin writing in my journal.
Interested? Follow this blog, track the tag, and check out our about page for more information!
