Mandatory witch vibe check

Stop! This is a mandatory witchy vibe check! Put your hands and your crystals where I can see them and no one gets hurt!

Did you drink water today? Homie, you gotta get that hydration in. How do you expect to be able to set your intentions when your poor dehydrated-jello brain is crying for water?? "But I have coffe-" I'M SORRY WHAT WAS THAT I CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER THE S C I E N C E THAT SAYS COFFEE DOESN'T HYDRATE

Did you eat something? Bestie food is fuel and you need fuel to do things. Go get some ramen or something. Remember, when you're struggling, putting cheap gas in your car is better than having no gas in your car. Same thing with food and your body. If all you want are 4 pickles and half a log of salami then you eat those pickles and that salami.

Is your face nice and clean? It's okay if you can't wash it right now but maybe if you take off your makeup when you get home and splash the grime of the day off, it might help you feel better. Remember, washing your face is just getting your skin wet and playing in bubbles for a second. Then you're all done! Not so scary now, right? It's just a bubble bath for your face.

Go to the bathroom. Just go. Stop holding it.

Self-care is really important to our craft, y'all. Taking care of ourselves, energizing ourselves, keeping our spirits up - all of that is going to reflect onto your craft more than you think. You are the most important element in your practice. If you have troubles taking care of you, then don't take care of you. Take care of the most important tool at your disposal.

You matter to me and you matter to the others in your life as well. Don't forget that you deserve more than you know, and you're doing better than you think.

All of my love <3 Blessed Be

Moon Phase Magic

You can do magic any time, any day, but sometimes you'd like a little bit of a lunar boost! Here's how the phases of the moon can match the intentions of your magic.

Full Moon: Great for manifesting, divination, and psychic ability. If you work with spirits or deities this phase can help boost your signal, so to speak.

Waning Gibbous: Helps with cleansing, protection and detoxing. If you're trying to get rid of some bad energy or place a protection spell on you house, this phase can help you out! Setting intentions to let go of things is also suggested during this phase.

Last Quarter: Great for breaking habits and abandoning bad situations. Sometimes we have to leave, if you need a bit of extra strength to do it, this moon phase could help you.

Waning Crescent: Good for release, surrender, and introspection. Sometimes we need to stop and smell the roses. Allow yourself to be still and let this phase give you some calm in the midst of chaos.

New Moon (or Dark Moon): This phase works best for cleansing, banishing magic, and shadow work. Similar to the last three, the new moon can give you that push you need to do the dirty work you need to succeed. We all have shadows, are you ready to face yours?

Waxing Crescent: Creation, imagination, and attraction are on "high" during this phase. Start to sew the seeds of new projects or ideas during this time.

First Quarter: Manifesting change and strength is a good idea during this phase of the moon. There are things that need changing, but it's not always easy, so allow this phase to give you the boost you need to change.

Waxing Gibbous: Best for motivation. determination and energy. You need to get things done? This phase can give you the energy to act. Your willpower and knowledge will help you succeed, but a little lunar love wouldn't hurt!

---

When using the moon in magic, make sure you thank our magnificent celestial being for helping you out. She works very hard and deserves a lot of gratitude from us!

A/N: Since this is my digital grimoire it is subject to my own opinions. The information here is what I've gathered after a lot of reading and learning from various other pagans and witches. However, If you feel that a moon phase is different for you then by all means don't let me change your mind!

Are you for or against abortion?

100% for! your body, your choice. if the person carrying the baby wants an abortion then they should get one. nobody else has a say imo

[moonwitchmollie]

Which Pagan religion do you follow?

neopaganism/ modern paganism

[moonwitchmollie]

Who’s your patron God or Goddess?

artemis! i feel really connected to her, ive also always loved the moon and everything to do with it so her being one of the goddesses of the moon definitely contributes to that!

i also feel connected to aphrodite, id love to work with both of them in my craft one day but i dont feel educated enough yet :)

[moonwitchmollie]

Have you ever been in love?

yes, ive been with my boyfriend for a year in december <3

[moonwitchmollie]

Are you religious? If so, what’s your religion?

yes, im pagan :)

[moonwitchmollie]

Why do men like virgins?

i have no idea, some people prefer to be the persons first i suppose?

[moonwitchmollie]

What do you think of Joyofsatan.org

im not personally a satanist, but i respect whatever people believe as long as they arent hurting anybody else :)

[moonwitchmollie]

question for anyone who may be interested!

first off, ive been pretty inactive on this blog (for about a year now) but now that my mental health has improved and im getting back into my craft, i plan on becoming active again!

with that out of the way, i have a question for anyone who sees this that may or may not be interested. a while back, i did tarot readings. i did at least three per night and it got really spiritually exhausting, really fast.

if i were to do this again, id probably do one every couple of days to start with, and if i felt okay with it, maybe do a few extra a little more frequently. but, before i do that, ill need to know if anyone would be interested! these readings would be simple three card spreads, and theyd be free of charge! if you wanted to tip a small amount of money in return then my kofi is in my bio and would be linked at the end of the reading, but tips wouldnt be necessary at all. the readings would be done through either asks or messages, and id need a few details like what you'd want from the reading, your initials, and a bit of info on the situation you're asking about.

if anyone would be interested, interact with this post! reblogs are appreciated, and if i get enough feedback ill consider doing these again! thank you for your time, blessed be <3

Magickal Folk Names for Herbs

Having knowledge of herbs and plants (either magically or medicinally) during the Middle Ages, often was reason enough to accuse a woman of being a “witch,” so there is no doubt some of the country folk at the time took these herbal folk names literal.  Chances are, these names were used merely as descriptors to help remember them easier.  Most plants were given names descriptive of their uses and others were given names for something they generally resembled. Spells written by witches in ancient times were often written with such descriptors, which personally i believe to be a form of secret coding.

Here is a small list of “witchy” herb names (most of these are already floating around the community) that you can use in your craft when you create your spells.  This list could be a great addition to any Grimoire and i hope you find them as useful as i do.

Enjoy ~~~  Cannawitch

Pretty sure I already reblogged this but since I’m finally back working in my grimoire I need to get this up at the front of my posts

[timelyreminder]

Move!

• Stretch your arms/legs a bit • Take a break from the screen for at least 30 seconds • Get up and move around, just for a few minutes • Sit up straight and move to a position which allows you to maintain your posture

Happy scrolling!
