Mood Marbles
Don’t lie: when you were a kid, you had marbles. Maybe you found a bag full of them in the basement, or maybe you have a mini-bag that comes with those Christmas cracker things that also have colourful paper crowns in them (oh come on, you know what I’m talking about!) Here’s something fun that you can do with those marbles! You will need:
marbles (duh)
a small bag (preferably a sachet bag, but as long as it’s small and re-closeable, it’s fine)
salt
water (any water you hold sacred)
Mood Marbles are little charms that you hold to change your mood. Much like holding a gemstone to soothe or calm, Mood Marbles play on how their colours and patterns make you feel.
First, you have to choose what moods you want. If you’re shy, you may want to choose confidence. If you’re a worrier (like me), you’ll want to choose calm. I even made a Mood Marble for when I’m at parties and I need a little pickup to get me in the mood to party and socialize. When you’ve chosen your moods, look through your marbles and find one for each mood. Maybe you choose a swirly blue marble for calm because the blue soothes you, or maybe the swirls remind you of calming ocean waves. Check out some colour correspondence charts if you’re having a hard time assigning colours.
(From left to right: Brown swirl for curing homesickness, black with green swirl for sleep, clear blue for calm, orange swirl for raising spirit, clear for clarity of mind, blue swirl for curing loneliness, rainbow speckled for help at parties/social gatherings, green swirl for diffusing anger, yellow swirl for confidence, black with grey blob for curing grief.)
Take the marble and sprinkle it with salt and water. Charge it with your intent (the mood you want it to represent). Place it in the small bag. Carry the bag around with you. Whenever you need a marble, take it out and roll it between your fingers for awhile. Study its colours and patterns. The mood it represents will be achieved.
Such a great idea for witches without access to stones or crystals!
