Ares, God of the Fight

Ares, my love

It is through you, my Fighter, that I find the fire in me that gives me the strength and the will to Fight.

Not fight for a goal or a purpose, but fight because I have the intrensic right and power within myself to fight… For myself. 

The fight for myself is one I do against oppressive forces, against my mental illnesses, against the pains of the past every day. It is something that scares me and holds me back. And it is something I deserve to do and I deserve to win.

But through You in all of Your Glory, I fight. I fight for me. Simply because I can. Simply because I deserve to.

Thank you, my dear Ares, for bringing me to this fight and giving me the strength and confidence to fight it.

How to dress store bought candles.

For those of you that don’t make your own candles you can still do something a little special for the store bought ones.

I get my 7 day candles from the 99cent store. Before using them for any spell work you need to make sure that you clean and cleanse them. I like to make a solution of salt, water and lemon essential oil spray it on a cloth and clean the glass and the top of the candle. This part is extremely important. You don’t want some 99 cent store workers energy on the candle not forgetting all the 100′s of people that might have picked it up and put it back :-p 

The candles that I made today are to be used on my altar for Hekate. This candle is pretty basic. If I was doing a spell candle I would write names, actions or something like that on the glass.

Remember, while you are dressing your candle concentrate on your intention for the candle. Thinking about what you’re gonna cook for dinner while making it will tarnish the affect.

What you need

Candles

Oils (I’m using homemade Hekate oil)

Screw or stick (For the holes)

Herbs

Cotton swab

Step one

Clean your candles and tools

Step Two

Take the screw or stick and pierce holes into the top of the candle. I use a pretty big screw so that I can go all the way down to the bottom of the candle.

Step Three 

Use a dropper to put one drop of oil into the hole. Then use the cotton swab to spread the oil through-out by dipping it in the hole. 

*If you don’t have a dropper you can cover the tip of the cotton swab and coat the inside that way*

*When working with oils, Less is more. The first time I ever used oil on a candle I covered the top with tons of it and it set on fire lol. So be careful!!!*

Step Four

Place small amounts of your chosen herbs over the holes and then use the cotton swab to push them inside. You can add as much of the herbs as you wish, it’s just easier to push down if you do small amounts at a time. I have in the past put small chip crystals down the holes too.

*Some witches add a layer of herbs to the top of the candle. I don’t do that with these ones because I leave them burning for a while and I don’t want the herbs to catch fire while I’m in another room*

Step Five

Once you have finished your candle it’s time to activate it. Some people write a spell or a blessing to say as they light it. Others say their intent for the candle out loud. Find the right way for you.

For this candle I say a little prayer (that I wrote) to Hekate and let her know that these candles are dedicated to her.

Thank you for reading

nightshadeandroses’ 30-Day Grimoire Challenge!

Has your grimoire been sitting on a shelf for far too long? Have you been neglecting your craft and need a push to get back into it? Do you have a brand new journal for your grimoire that you want to start out? This challenge is for you!

Many of these prompts are geared towards beginners, but many of these prompts can be adapted to fit a more advanced practitioner!

Each day will have a specific prompt to help inspire your grimoire-writing. Some prompts will be more specific while others will be more open-ended. If you don’t like a specific day’s prompt, you may supplement it with your own! The important part is that you do something every day for 30 days! Tag your posts with #nightshadegrimoirechallenge if you’d like to share your work!

Week 1: The Self

Day 1: In the front or back of your grimoire, create a table of contents or index.

Day 2: Write your name (or craft/nickname) on one of the first pages. Research the meaning of your name and write that on the page. Look up name numerology and include that there was well. Reflect on how you relate to the information you’ve discovered.

Day 3: Calculate your astrological chart. Record the information in your grimoire along with any notes needed to remember their meanings. Highlight the information that especially resonates with you.

Day 4: Using your preferred method of divination, ask the following questions: “Who was I?”, “Who am I?”, “Who will I be?” Record your answers and a brief reflection in your grimoire.

Day 5: Why do you want to be a witch? Record the answer to this question and 3 goals that you have as a witch.

Day 6: Using your goals from the previous day, write down 3 steps for each goal (so a total of 9 steps) that you can take to achieve these goals. Make sure both your goals and the steps that you’ve recorded are achievable.

Day 7: Day of Reflection. Look through the week’s pages and reflect on what you’ve learned about yourself. How will this new knowledge affect you and your craft moving forward?

Week 2: Your Craft

🌿🌹 Smokable Herbs 💨✨

Smoke is used cleansing and purifying, and much more🌫

🍃 Good day, Witches of Tumblr! 🍃

Not everyone may have the habit of smoking, but smoking has always had a sacred purpose in every culture and many religions. The history of smoking began in shamanistic rituals that took place as early as 4000 bc. It is considered a very social activity and was used as a social tool.

While some may say the smell of smoke is unpleasant, and people don’t want it around them. But did you know you can smoke certain herbs, and actually make a very lovely tasting, and even pleasant smelling, blend? Some herbs are highly medicinal and can give you benefits. Keep reading if you want to know more!

🌹 ━━━✦❘༻ 🌿 ༺❘✦━━━━🌹

**Disclaimer**

it is very important you do the proper research to see if you can smoke a certain herb. Also if you start feeling sick after smoking it cease use of it immediately. You may be fine ingesting a certain herb, but you could have an allergy to smoking said herb. Please note that some of these could be poisonous if eaten, we are speaking of smoking only. I also don’t recommend replacing smoking herbs with getting medical treatment if you need assistance. Be very careful if you have health conditions and don’t smoke if you’re pregnant. I am also not trying to persuade you or anyone else to smoke!

🌹 ━━━✦❘༻ 🌿 ༺❘✦━━━━🌹

With that said, lets begin to learn what herbs you can smoke and how to put together a herbal smoking blend! Get ready to raid your apothecary!

There are tons of herbs that are smokable. Each herb has its own unique taste and effect, and by mixing them together you can create a perfect blend for your next ritual!

You just have to Look

The gods haven’t left us, but some say they are forgotten

Zeus roars his battle cry as lightning strikes skyscrapers and thunder rolls over corn fields and grassy plains.

Hera sings a lullaby to the crying newborn babies every night and hold the hand of those born early, those fighting to survive.

Artemis screams her protest in the voices of every woman, young and old, as they raise their fists for equality.

Demeter whistles through the streets of cities, rustling the leaves of scarce trees, reminding the concrete jungle of the jungles around them.

Poseidon bellows through the foghorns of steam ships, cruise liners and cargo ships as they dock into the harbour.

Hephaestus hammers his forge’s red fires with the punch of a time-clock and in the muscles strains of the working man.

Apollo blasts his voice through every headphone, earbud and speaker turned way too loud.

Ares’ battle cry echoes through a stadium as the crowd cheers after a national anthem is played.

Aphrodite whispers in the giggles and “I love you"s said between lovers intimating.

Hermes laughs in the roar of every engine and the gurgle of gasoline through the pump.

Dionysus cheers in the spirit of every young person celebrating themselves and making their lives enjoyable.

Athena hums in the silence of a late night library visit, in the turn of a page and the scratch of a pen.

Hestia smiles in every host saying “come in”, in every oven’s beeping, and the sigh of relaxation in ones home.

Hades beams in every dark humoured joke, in every Halloween night, and in every morning after.

They say the gods are gone, forgotten and a world away. But they are here, if you look for them.

🌟 Star Grounding 🌟

a quick guide on grounding with the stars / cosmos for you star gazers

🌟  it may seem a bit contradictory to ground with something in the sky rather than the earth. the focus is to ground as if you were an star in space, and to find the power and stability in yourself.

🌟  (to the best of your ability) find a view of the clear sky in the sky, and rest somewhere the starlight can reach you

🌟  if there is a specific star or constellation you want to draw energy from, have a clear view of it.

🌟  visualize:

every flare of light over your skin fills you and reacts, igniting power and new energy. it solidifies in your spirit and makes you feel whole.

you are significant, you have your own gravity. perhaps not the whole universe, but there are things that revolve around you.

you ground within yourself. old energies burn off and dissipate into the cosmos.

the light that over you brings new, fresh energy. it fills you with the bright and warm

🌟  when you are ready, let the star light fade its hold on you. you are not severing the ties harshly, only letting them fall away, and release.

So, You Wanna Worship?

Pagan Worship FAQ

Do I need to be chosen by a deity in order to worship them?

No! You don’t need to be chosen, although some people are. Normally, if you do it right, most deities don’t mind being approached first. Some deities may even prefer it that way!

Do I need to worship a deity if they try to contact me?

No, you don’t. Your consent matters. If you feel like you don’t want to worship someone, you don’t have to. Just try to be as polite as possible when you turn down a deity’s offer. They may be a little (or a lot) angry with you, depending on the deity. Place up extra wards if you believe a deity may try to seek revenge. Some deities won’t mind, others will.

So, a deity I want to work with has contacted me/I want to approach X deity, now what?

Research, research, research! Get a basic understanding of the deity. What do they represent? Which culture are they from, and how did they exist in that cultural context? Read up on the myths that deity shows up in. Once you have a pretty good grasp on the deity, you’re ready to approach them.

How do I communicate with a deity?

You can use astral travel, divination, or “god-phoning” to communicate with your deity.

What is god-phoning?

It is when you hear a deity’s voice in your head, or when you have intrusive thoughts sent to you by a deity that you know you didn’t think of yourself.

How do I approach a deity for the first time?

First, choose your method of communication. I suggest using whatever method you’re best at; that way you know you’re getting the clearest responses that you’re possibly getting. You don’t want to accidentally misunderstand a deity during your first time with them! Whatever method you choose, be very courteous. Leave offerings, whether it’s something extravagant or something simple like a candle or incense. Be honest and open, but be polite. Don’t make demands or promises you can’t keep, not just during your first time, but during every time you speak with a deity.

no one’s a perfect witch 🌙

🌙 spells wont always work, and that’s okay. one failed spell, or even ten doesnt mean your power has left you completely, it just means you need to re-center yourself and rediscover it.

🌙 how often you do something witchy does not make you more or less of a witch. taking time for you is okay. missing full moons for spells or pagan holidays is fine, they are not mandatory

🌙 there will always be more to learn, don’t feel pressured to learn it all, especially if it’s not something you’re interested in. go at your own pace.
