Don’t use salt outside in the garden,parks or forests and woods for casting circles the salt will change the ph of the soil and kill everything use ground up egg shells instead organic and plant and soil friendly.⛥

🌿 sage tea bread 🌿

so, for the eclipse i decided to bake something as an offering to the fae - i wish to improve my relationship with them. this worked really well and tasted incredible!

note: this recipe is for a 9 x 3 x 5 inch loaf pan. increase or decrease the measurements accordingly (my pan was twice as long as this so i doubled them!)

time: best done at a milestone of some sort - i did mine on the eclipse, but you could make this on beltane, yule or any other holiday you deem important!

gather: ½ cup of milk, 2 tbsp of minced fresh sage (or 2 tsp of dried sage), ½ cup of softened butter, ½ cup of sugar, 2 eggs, 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tsp of baking powder, a pinch of salt, 3-4 pinches of cinnamon (optional)

→ for the sugar glaze: 1 and ½ cups of sugar, 3-4 tbsp of water, 1 tbsp of minced fresh sage

🌿  preheat your oven to 325 F or 162 C

🌿  grease your pan with butter and dust with flour

🌿  heat your milk and sage in a small saucepan until warm, then leave to cool

🌿  cream your butter and sugar in a mixing bowl

🌿  add your eggs one at a time, beating well after each is added

🌿  combine flour, baking powder and salt in another bowl

🌿  add this to the mixture alternately with the sage milk

🌿  stir well and add your cinnamon

🌿  pour into your pan and bake at 350 F or 177 C

to make the sugar glaze, combine your sugar, water and sage and mix. set the bread on a baking tray to pour the glaze and smooth over with a spatula.

As a former skeptic of witchcraft and magic, can someone explain to me ‘pop culture’ gods / goddess and how they work? Is this another manifestation of will becoming reality? That being said, if two people worship x pop culture god, is it the same god, or their perception of that god? Sorry, semi-new witch here, and not very versed in this particular topic and trying to learn.

Everything You Need to Know About the Aug. 21 Eclipse

On Aug. 21, all of North America will experience a solar eclipse.

If skies are clear, eclipse-watchers will be able to see a partial solar eclipse over several hours, and some people – within the narrow path of totality – will see a total solar eclipse for a few moments.

How to Watch

It’s never safe to look at the Sun, and an eclipse is no exception. During a partial eclipse (or on any regular day) you must use special solar filters or an indirect viewing method to watch the Sun.

If you have solar viewing glasses, check to make sure they’re safe and undamaged before using them to look at the Sun. Make sure you put them on before looking up at the Sun, and look away before removing them. Eclipse glasses can be used over your regular eyeglasses, but they should never be used when looking through telescopes, binoculars, camera viewfinders, or any other optical device.

If you don’t have eclipse glasses, you can still watch the eclipse indirectly! You can make a pinhole projector out of a box, or use any other object with tiny holes – like a piece of cardstock with a hole, or your outstretched, interlaced fingers – to project an image of the partially eclipsed Sun onto the ground.

Of course, if it’s cloudy (or you’d just rather stay inside), you can watch the whole thing online with us at nasa.gov/eclipselive. Tune in starting at noon ET.

If you’re in the path of totality, there will be a few brief moments when it is safe to look directly at the eclipse. Only once the Moon has completely covered the Sun and there is no light shining through is it safe to look at the eclipse. Make sure you put your eclipse glasses back on or return to indirect viewing before the first flash of sunlight appears around the Moon’s edge.

Why do eclipses happen?

A solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes directly between the Sun and Earth, casting its shadow down on Earth’s surface. The path of totality – where the Moon completely covers the Sun – is traced out by the Moon’s inner shadow, the umbra. People within the Moon’s outer shadow, the penumbra, can see a partial eclipse.

The Moon’s orbit around Earth is tilted by about five degrees, meaning that its shadow usually doesn’t fall on Earth. Only when the Moon lines up exactly between the Sun and Earth do we see an eclipse.

Though the Sun is about 400 times wider than the Moon, it is also about 400 times farther away, making their apparent sizes match up almost exactly. This is what allows the Moon to block out the Sun’s bright face, while revealing the comparatively faint, pearly-white corona.

The Science of Eclipses

Eclipses are a beautiful sight to see, and they’re also helpful for our scientists, so we’re funding eleven ground-based science investigations to learn more about the Sun and Earth.

Total solar eclipses reveal the innermost regions of the Sun’s atmosphere, the corona. Though it’s thought to house the processes that kick-start much of the space weather that can influence Earth, as well as heating the whole corona to extraordinarily high temperatures, we can’t study this region at any other time. This is because coronagraphs – the instruments we use to study the Sun’s atmosphere by creating artificial eclipses – must cover up much of the corona, as well as the Sun’s face in order to produce clear images.

Eclipses also give us the chance to study Earth’s atmosphere under uncommon conditions: the sudden loss of solar radiation from within the Moon’s shadow. We’ll be studying the responses of both Earth’s ionosphere – the region of charged particles in the upper atmosphere – and the lower atmosphere.

Learn all about the Aug. 21 eclipse at eclipse2017.nasa.gov, and follow @NASASun on Twitter and NASA Sun Science on Facebook for more. Watch the eclipse through the eyes of NASA at nasa.gov/eclipselive starting at 12 PM ET on Aug. 21.

PSA for folks with pets: KEEP YOUR PETS INSIDE AND AWAY FROM WINDOWS.

[puffpuffpowa-deactivated2022111]

WAIT WHY CANT THEY BE OUTSIDE @fandomshatepeopleofcolor I have a puppy that only does his business outside.

[fandomshatewomen]

They can be blinded if they look, just like we can. And they may attempt to do so because “sun?? go?? out??” If they’re under a tree or otherwise in a shaded area, they’re gonna be fine. Supervise them when they go out to poop. Try to keep them in a shady area if you can and idk under an umbrella if they decide the prime area to pee is an open one.

Once I was at a plant store and I have this subconscious habit of pulling leaves of plants so I did that and stuck the leaf in my pocket and when I got home I found it and felt bad so I dropped it in a pot with a bromiliad and a few weeks later it had taken root and started growing and that’s the story of how I pirated a plant

A spell for the anxious driver.

If you are like me, then unfortunately driving is not a fun experience and you are full of dread the whole drive. To help me with my driving anxiety (and anyone else who has this problem), I have made this spell. I hope it helps anyone who feels anxious while driving!

🔮 Lavender - for driving anxiety

🦇 Basil - for protection

🔮 Bay leaf - protection

🦇 Cinnamon - also for protection

🔮 Sage - long life and protection

🦇 Amethyst - for anxiety

🔮 Quartz - for protection

🦇 Rose quartz - for confidence while driving

🔮 I sealed it off with a yellow candle to represent happy thoughts while driving.

Then, I just hung it in a little bag in my car!

Shielding

~B.D: Every witch should learn how to shield. It offers great protection against every day negative energies, and more. It is especially great for empaths.

–There are many different ways to shield, and what works for one may not for another. The way you put up a shield is extremely personal and it will only work if you do it in a way that makes sense to YOU. It will only work if it is built in a way that it can stay present in your mind. You must will it to be there, in the same way that you walked around with a word in your head while you were preparing the evening supper. It should feel the same way.

–What makes shielding personal, is that you have to design the way it will look and feel. That is the only way that you will be able to keep it in your mind without effort. Here is an example: If I tell you to imagine yourself surrounded by a medieval armor, you may need to keep your attention very focused in the details of what such armor looks like. If it is not a familiar shield, your mind will want to keep going back to adjust this or that detail that is slipping your mind, like the way the face looks or how the hands are placed. It might even feel stiff and you movements will feel awkward. Anything that doesn’t feel right will break your concentration and decrease the effectiveness of your shield. –Also, the kind of shield you choose will highly depend on the situation you are facing. If you are going into a battlefield, you want battle gear. If you just want to walk around the office and want to be impervious to negative energy, a nice bubble might do the trick. But no matter what, everyone needs to know how to shield. –Take a moment to assess the situation. What kind of shield do you need and want? Right now, you are just practicing, so you can try out different shields. But in general, what will you need this shield for? Imagine the kind of protection you want. It should feel comfortable, easy to focus on, strong and it should make you feel safe. It can really be anything. It can be an extra layer of light, guardians that surround you, a tornado, a brick wall, a bubble, a Viking’s shield, a blanket… It all depends on you and on the situation. Imagine a few possibilities that you may want to keep in your ‘shield closet’. It will be easier to conjure them quickly if you have imagined them already. For the sake of this exercise, let’s try something light with some basic energy and shielding exercises. –First Center and ground. Grounding is especially important. That is your best line of defense, even without a shield. Now that you are grounded and centered, we will try some simple energy exercise, as they themselves are the simplest form of shielding and are something you should learn to do properly in order to shield efficiently.  1. Put yourself into your comfortable position. Begin by RELEASING; close your eyes and imagine all of the worries and anxieties of your day just pouring out of you like water, down and out through the palms of your hands and the soles of your feet. Leaving your body, and entering down into the earth. –Now place the palms of your hands together. Imagine a ball of white light between the two palms, radiating out from where they touch. Imagine it very strongly, see it clearly. Now pull your hands slowly apart. Imagine that ball of light stretching out between your hands as you separate them, becoming a beam of light between your palms. Hold this for a few seconds or longer if you can. Then slowly bring your hands together, shrinking the beam of light between them until they close together and it is gone. –Clear and release all excess energy …Imagine a stream of white light or water flowing through you from the top of your head and carrying all excess energy away through the soles of your feet. Practice this until you get good at it and then you will be ready to expand it. 2. This exercise begins with the ball of light in your hands do it just the same way until you come to the point where you have created the beam of energy between your two hands. Then, instead of stopping, imagine that beam growing and expanding to form a ball of white light between your hands. Hold that image as long as you can. Then slowly bring your hands back together, seeing the ball shrink between them, growing smaller and smaller until by the time your hands close, the ball is gone. Clear and release when you’re done. 3. Now you have those energy exercises mastered, we can begin to shield. First test your energy field. Where does it reach? Do a quick scan of its margin. At the boundary of your energy field, imagine your shield being formed. 

–Visualize a layer coming in and surrounding your energy field. Draw up energy from your roots and direct it to the outermost layer of your energy field. See this energy transform itself to offer you protection. It may seem to harden, like the bark of a tree, or glow more brightly like a flame. Command this energy to do your bidding and protect your personal space. You should ultimately get a feeling of: ‘This is in here and that is out there.’ That which is outside should not come within. –Once you’ve visualized your shield, draw back into yourself, but without letting your shield collapse. Your focus is no longer on upholding the shield. It should uphold itself, the same way the word lingered in your mind during the visualization exercise. Will it to be there, and that’s it! The minute you question whether it is holding, you are casting doubt into it and weakening its presence. Conjure it, know it’s there, and go on your business. This is not easy and it takes a lot of practice. Be forgiving of yourself and have fun with this. –Once you’ve practiced this, you can go on to trying different types of shields. Your creativity is the only limit. The more complex your shield is, the more mental focus and attention will be needed. Try the basic shield above first so you have an easy option for ‘everyday wear’.

~B.D: Usually my shield is just a protective bubble that nothing can break through. If for some reason while I’m in the bubble I have a negative thought, I imagine the thought leaving my head as a black smoke cloud, and being sucked out of the shield, and being pushed somewhere else by the walls of the shield. I usually make the bubble if I’m somewhere where I feel loads of negative energy and I don’t want it to touch me.

-Sometimes if I’m actually scared of something (like a spirit or really negative energy) I will imagine an aura of white or gold light around me. It feels warm and welcoming. Nothing negative can touch me while this aura is glowing. If I become more scared or have a negative thought, I make it glow brighter and warmer. It pushes the negative thoughts/feelings away, and I’m safe again. I even make this aura when I’m doing a cleansing bath. I make it so that the negativity that leaves my body can’t touch me again, even though I’m in the bath water with it. Then the negativity gets flushed down the drain with the water and I let my shield down (see my cleansing bath ritual post). I also have protective jewelry I wear (see my post on amulets, charms, and talismans).

“Hands Free Witchcraft”

So I’m moving further down my path and I’ve learned that I actually do better when using minimal tools, or no tools at all! For those of us who don’t use tools, it can be a little confusing on how to start. Here are a just a couple of things I’ve noticed tend to make my spells work when not using tools (or maybe just incense). -Visualize the magic in your chest as you breathe and do your verbal / mental ritual, then let it travel down your arms and flick your hands to let the magic fly off of it like water droplets into the air.

-Focus REALLY hard on your intent. If it helps, use a stick of incense and use the smoke as your “medium”. Let your magic travel up into the smoke and into the air while you hold the stick or pass your hand through the smoke. -Use your emotions to power your spells. If you’re feeling a particularly strong emotion, visualize that emotion pouring out of you with your magic any way you feel is best. -Breathing is your friend. Breathe calmly for a while and visualizing any energy around you swelling and ebbing with your breath will benefit your spells a lot! Anyone else can add on to these if they have things that help too ;^;

“Something Old Something New” Moving & Cleansing Spell.

A sort of two in one spell post. One part is to help sell a living space and the other part is a way to cleanse your new living space when you find it.

A white candle (to open up good energies in the new space)

A black candle (to cleanse the old space of negativity)

A spray bottle

Moon water

Sun Water

Salt

Beach/River sand

Lavender

Cinnamon

Aloe juice

Acacia ashes

African violets

Agrimony

What to do for the old living space

Light your black candle in the old living space and put a pinch of salt and sand in the corners of it.

Put your cinnamon, ashes, lavender, and moon water in the spray bottle and shake it.

Once you feel like it’s mixed spray the corners of your apartment again and say/think “You have gave me a place to live but now is the time for me to move on. Energies aid me in finding something new and keep this space nice for the next.”

Blow out your black candle.

Once your apartment/home/living space sells clean up your sand and salt.

What to do for your new living space

Now, when you get to your new space light your white candle and put pinches of salt and sand in the corners again.

Take your sun water, African violets, argrimony, and aloe juice and place it in the spray bottle; shake well.

Then take your spray and spray your corners say/think “I bless this space, for this is my new home. May it give me comfort in my stay.”
