Anti-Depression Self Love Candle Recipe🌱🌷💓✨🍃🌙💐

ok luvlies here is my Anti-Depression Self Love Candle recipe for all my fellow mentally ill witches on my blog💗

Things you need (all precharged and cleansed where needed)

a white or pink (love) candlestick

blue dripping wax (health and healing)

black dripping wax (protection)

dried eucalyptus leaves (healing)

dried rose petals (self love)

4 cloves (healing and naturally painkilling)

salt (protection and purifying)

coffee grounds (magic amplifying)

rose eo (self love)

eucalyptus eo (healing)

left over herbs and two sprigs of fresh eucalyptus

a small basin to hold the candle

(i know this seems like a lot of ingredients but u can tailor this to what you have and need)

Steps

throw the dried eucalyptus leaves, rose petals, cloves, salt, and coffee in a motar and powder them as fine as you can with a pestle. focus on the intention behind each ingredient as you do this, what will these herbs help you with? (i guess you can also food process these? but since i don’t have a food processor i did this by hand and this step took me a little while lol)

leave your powdered herb mix to the side, if you want to draw sigils on your candlestick, now is the time to do so. i used my ‘i am loving’ sigil on mine.

now annoint your precleansed candle with the eucalyptus and rose essential oils. i used 2 drops of eucalyptus and 4 of rose because the eucalyptus is such a strong scent i didn’t want the rose to be overpowered. you want the candle super oily so your herbs will stick to it’s sides.

over some parchment or newspaper, begin pressing your powders onto your anointed candle. if some falls off that’s ok, you can sprinkle it over the candle when the candles almost finished and your not handling it so much.

melt the wax on the base of your candle using a lighter or match and, working quickly, press the candle to your basin to secure it. doing this now instead of as the last step makes it so much easier to drip the wax over your candles without rubbing off the herbs.

now it’s time to drip the wax over your candle, just do this until you feel satisfied that you can see the colour and it looks cute.

after you’ve finished step 6 the candle itself is finished! just fill the basin with leftover herbs and herb powder. i threw some salt and rose buds on top of mine too.

stick the eucalyptus sprigs in the herb bath and you’re completely done!

to finish i just lit mine and left it near my windowsill to charge under the sunlight with two rose quartz and a tree agate.

i hope you guys are feeling better soon and if you like these posts lmk and i’ll make more!

Wondering how the word gypsy is a racial slur? Why are you referring to it as the G word when it literally means a free spirited traveller. What is so offensive about that?

Let me tell you a story, ignorant one. 

Once upon a time, there were a group of people migrating from northern India and Pakistan after the invasion “of the Persian Muslims who have since settled in Trukey, all of Europe, and the Americas These people are called the Rromani.” (x)

Once the pale bird feces people of Europe came into contact with the Rromani, they believed them to hail from Egypt, thus calling them Gypsies. 

Now about what disgusting white people like you have been trying to turn this racial slur into. There is nothing about being a free spirited traveller if you’re called such a word. What is up with white people romanticizing everything to make it seem all nice and rainbows for them?

“They were not nomadic by choice. They moved around because they had to… they were persecuted everywhere they went, and still are, to this day. They were persecuted alongside the Jews in the Holocaust – the Roma & Sinti”. They were forced to have this sort of nomadic lifestyle because “no country wanted them there”. (x)

Let’s not forget these lovely things Rromani people did and still go through because of who they are:

“Forced sterilization (yes, it is still happening)

Eviction

Harassment (by law enforcement as well as civilians)

Fingerprinting (this is happening in Italy right now – all Romani people are being fingerprinted, simply because our race is considered ‘criminal’)

Concentration camps

Starvation

Exclusion from public schools and welfare programs

Bombings (it is not uncommon in places like the Czech Republic for people to throw molotov cocktails into the windows of Romani homes)” (x)

“First and foremost: THE WORD “GYPSY” IS AN ETHNIC SLUR. It is a pejorative. It is an exonym that is hurtful and offensive. You need to accept this, period.

We are NOT your halloween costume. We are NOT your flowy skirt. We are NOT your fashion sense. We are NOT your wanderlust. We are NOT ‘boho.’

Gypsy is not fashion. Gypsy is not traveling. Gypsy is not a headband or a costume, or boho, or a long skirt.

Gypsy is a hurtful ethnic slur used to refer to the Romani people.

We cannot seem to emphasize this enough to people. This word is a slur. It was created to be a slur. Its meaning does not change. It will always be a slur. It will always be offensive.

‘The word is not yours. It’s ours. We can use it as we see fit. You cannot.’ - biggadjeworld 

We are a real people, with traditions, culture, and colorful heritage that spans centuries.” (x)

The “x”s in the post refer to sources you can click on and educate yourself with. On those pages, there are more links to become familiar to this slur and the Rromani people.

Also, don’t forget to stop by thisisnotromani!

This is some shit that the witchcraft and neopagan communities really need to get straight. You are not a “gypsy” witch, that does not make you mystical, you are not special, you are just racist. V sorry.

[queerwitchcraft]

I REALLLYYY need everyone to read this at least three times so there is no chance for confusion.

[will-o-the-witch]

This is important! In America we are not used to hearing it as a slur, so it can be hard for us to realize it’s one if we don’t run into it or seek it out. Fly across the pond and say it you will get VERY different responses. If you want replacement words for free spirit and bohemian aesthetic, just use “free spirit” or “hippie” or even “flower child” honestly. Hippie Witch sounds more catchy anyway 🌻

[stitchcraftwitchery]

Never appropriate someone’s culture for the sake of ‘aesthetic’!!! Learn the history of the words you use. Respect people. Say what you mean (and if you use these slurs, you MEAN to be racist, no two ways about it!). If “free spirited traveler” appeals to you there are suggestions above- other suggestions:

Traveling witch, footloose, wanderlust, free-wheeling, free lance, roaming, nomadic, mugwump, beatnik, avant-garde, offbeat, alternative, idiosyncratic, arty, outlandish, backpacking, bird of passage, excursionist, explorer, gadabout, globetrotter, landloper, adventurer, nonjuror (like conjuror!), pereginator, peripatetic, rootless, scatterling

[winter-elf-witch]

Thank you for educating people about this!

[witchy-woman]

!!!!!!!!!!

[kitchenwitchupinthisbitch]

Many people still don’t know this! I told someone in a mom group I was in. I say was bc I left soon after bc some people were being intentionally bigoted “OMG everyone is so sensitive these days. You’re too PC. I don’t care. I’m still going to use the word.” Major yikes! But I already knew that there are racist in this town :/

[whendragons-fly-deactivated2019]

Could you please reblog this if you are a witch who isn’t Wiccan?

[servantofthefates]

Hello Diana, I come to you for advice. 4 years ago, when I was 17, I was sexually assaulted by two men. I've since gone through therapy and been diagnosed with ptsd. This not a decision made in the heat of the moment, but I need some way to get revenge. I've been practicing witchcraft for a while now, as my family has a long history of the craft. I'm aware of some curses I might do, but I thought it was worth asking for your guidence nonetheless, what would you recommend?

The Perfect Revenge Against Rapists

This spell was created by the Chaldeans, renowned astrologers of Babylonia.

STEP 1: Find scratch paper.

The back of a receipt… some flyer on the floor… anything of no value.

STEP 2: Write these words.

PEANRO PETOSEN TANETDO

Use a red pen or marker. The color of blood.

STEP 3: Plead your case.

Speak your grievances to whoever is listening. Whether they be demons, fairies or spirits, if your anger and agony are pure, they will hear you.

Speak the names of those who violated you. If you do not know their names, describe their faces. If you did not see their faces, recount their smell, the sound of their voices, whatever you can remember about them.

STEP 4: Destroy the paper.

Once you have expelled your every iota of shame, pain and fury, tear the paper into pieces.

Then get rid of them. Burn them. Step on them. Throw them in a puddle of mud. Flush them down the toilet. Whatever you think is harshest.

STEP 5: Thank the old ones.

You made them feel your anger. Now make them feel you are thankful.

If you are successful in expressing both your suffering and your gratitude, then your abusers will never ejaculate again.

And in time, they will not be able to urinate either.

Before their bladder even starts to atrophy, before it bursts… fear and frustration will destroy their mind. The madness could even drive them to suicide.

Candle Spell for Revenge

You Will Need:

1 Black Candle 

A knife or something you can use for carving 

Pins

Paper and a Pen

A silver bowl filled with dirt

Instructions:

Carve the initials of the person who has done you wrong into the candle as well as words that describe their behaviour/what they did to you.

Once you’ve done that place the candle in the bowl and light it. 

For every bad thought or feeling you have about the person, stick a pin deep into the wax. 

Write on the piece of paper what you want the consequence of their actions to be and burn it in the flame. 

After that say “a day will come when you think yourself safe and happy, and suddenly your joy will turn to ashes in your mouth and you’ll know the debt is paid” and blow the candle out. 

Keep the candle and light it whenever you have negative feelings about the person. 

[phynxrizng]

A REVENGE SPELL

Another Revenge Spell

Fair Warning!!! Only use this spell if someone has truly done you wrong and caused you much pain.

To cast this spell write the person’s name on a 3″ x3″ piece of paper with a black marker or pen. Also have a piece of black yarn.

Concentrate on that person. Now draw 3 X’s on that person’s name.

Next fold the paper three times and take the black yarn and tie the paper with it. Raise it above your head and whisper the words below three times:

“Starting now I will be protected from you, This magic spell I will do, With this spell I shall bind thee, From now on you will let me be, I as of now am protected from your harm, I seal this hex with my charm. It is you that will suffer and cry out in pain It is you that will suffer and write in pain”.

Now drop the paper to the ground and using your right shoe step on the paper nine times As you slam it the ninth time say…

“From this moment pain you shall feel I have spoken these words, words that are real I have spoken these words and so mote it be!”

Dance Fucker Dance

—–

A banishing, revenge, and binding spell designed to speed up karma on a person who did you a wrong, tripping up their life and forcing them into a downward spiral.

Note 1: This spell is still able to be edited upon, so feel free to tell me any changes you would/do make, and tell me how they would be better so I can better understand how to write the best spells I can.

Note 2: The spell is best done on a Saturday, the day of binding.

Note 3: Thank you, @strangesigils, for your help with finding components for the sigil, and with checking on the basic design of the spell!

—–

Necessary Ingredients:

1. A poppet

2. A tag lock (a photo or name on white paper)

3. A black marker (black is the primary color that corresponds with Banishing)

4. Two (2) pins

5. Something you can play music from

—–

Steps to the spell:

1. Play the song “You’re Gonna Go Far Kid” by The Offspring.

2. Draw sigil (shown above) on the back of the tag lock in black marker, and charge it with the intent of the spell.

3. Using one of the pins, stab the tag lock, making sure it goes through the sigil to activate it, and pin it to the “chest” of the poppet, visualizing the wrong doer.

4. Say “Dance fucker dance” and stab the second pin between the “eyes” of the poppet.

—–

Please tell me how the spell works out for you if you try it out! It’s my first time writing one, and even with help, I’m a little nervous about how the spell will work out for various witches who utilize it!

[saintjumpingmouse]

As above so below

Those who sow reap

And those who reap sow

Those who have suffered

Their wounds will mend

Kindness will reap kindness

Without end

But those who act cruelly shall

Reap cruelty in return

For this is a lesson

That they must learn

With lesson learned

The spell will end

Time will heal and

Love will mend

Those of justice hear my plea

Balance the scales

So, mote it be

[witchinamondernworld]

Tarot card combinations

Empress + Ace = childbirth

2 or more pages = Schools, education

4 of wands + Sun = Babyshowers, an amazing family gathering, sometimes weddings

King of pentacles + Magican (if querent is a man or NB) or high priestess (if querent is a woman)= Querent’s money

10 of swords + death = only time death can actually mean death (in my style of reading)

Death + king of pentacles = sudden changes of money

Death (reversed) + king of pentacles = need to change money situation; need to manage money differently

The Hierophant + 4 of swords = a place of worship, church, mosque, etc

Fiery Wall of Protection

Invoking the protection of the archangels Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel over a close friend – and for all malign astral powers and principalities to be thwarted and banished. 

Six white candles:

1 white  petition candle carved with the name of the one you desire to protect, and dressed with uncrossing, banishing, or run devil run oil. 

4 white (or red) candles surrounding the petition candle in a circle of salt, carved with the names of the archangels and dressed with the same condition oil.

1 undressed white (or black) enemy candle, upside down, carved with the name of the enemy(ies), entity(ies), or person(s) you desire to be banished – placed in a saucer of graveyard dirt, salt, or water (carve a new wick so you can burn this candle from the bottom).

Optional: A statue or holy card of St. Michael the Archangel, an offertory glass of water, a silver tray on which to burn your candles. 

Procedure:

1. Light the petition candle first, then the candles to Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel. 

2. Light the enemy candle upside down last (with the new wick you carved on the bottom)

3. Pray the prayer to St. Michael the Archangel and/or Psalm 23: 

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan, and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

4. Take the enemy candle, snuff it out in the saucer, and break it in half. 

5. Allow the other candles to burn completely down. You may choose to start the work on Sunday and repeat it through Wednesday, or any day you choose working either once or up to 7 days.
