As part of my Beltane ritual this morning, I burned a paper with "insecurity, self doubt, money troubles" on it with the intention of letting those things go this upcoming season. Then i asked my deck, "what do I need to do to ensure these things leave my life?" And pulled these cards, from left to right.

I have my interpretation already but I'm super interested to hear if anyone on here has an interpretation or vibe they get!

Cleaned and reset my altar in preparation for beltane 🩷💐

🕯️ Candle Magic 🕯️

Candle magic is one of my favorite type of ritual, because it is relatively simple to setup, and non-expensive. You just need a candle, and fire to light it up. If you want the spell to be even more powerful, feel free to carve symbols or sigils on the candle before lighting it. Then sit down, observe the flame, and think about a question that is worrying you.

Color correspondences

⚪ White candles: healing, purification, innocence, meditation, peace

⚫ Black candles: strength, negative energies, resilience, self-control

🟤 Brown candles: intuition, animal protection, stability, decisions 

🟣 Purple candles: ambition, power, focus, concentration, inspiration

🔵 Blue candles: happiness, calm, laughter, relaxation, harmony, water

🟢 Green candles: luck, love, fertility, birth, health, success, earth 

🟡 Yellow candles: imagination, divination, intelligence, energy, air

🟠 Orange candles: authority, changes, control, support, versatility

🔴 Red candles: love, brave, blood, passion, death, sex, fire 

– 

Candle reading 

🔥 Candle will not light: the question cannot be answered anymore, because things are already in movement, you cannot turn back now. 

🔥 Strong, stable flame: the answer to your question is “yes”. 

🔥 Weak, small flame: the answer to your question is “no”. 

🔥 Dancing flame: there is chaotic, undisciplined energy present. You need to focus and meditate before taking any decision at the moment. 

🔥 Crackling flame: spirits might be present in the room, and they would like to speak to you. Be open to their message. 

🔥 A lot of smoke is coming out: the universe is helping you cleanse yourself and your room, leaving space for new opportunities and energies. 

🔥 Candle will not go out: the spirits are telling you that the ritual is not over. Ask yourself if your question was the right one, or if there is anything that needs to be further discussed.

I made more printables!! In this case, it is a Spell Worksheet set. In most cases, it is best if, when making spells, you take your time and think them out. For each item or step included, you must think, why? Once the spell is done and you receive results, it is equally if not more important to reflect on them. This is one of the best ways you can learn what works and doesn’t work, thus, helping your growth as a witch.

You can get the PDF along with other resources here!

On that note, if you want to see or request specific worksheets or resources, feel free to send those my way!!

Buttons in Witchcraft

Buttons are incredible little tokens much like coins or rocks that can be used for a plethora of fun and useful witchy crafts. They’re small, portable, wearable, transferable, and can be made easily or found for very little money at most thrift stores and craft shops!

Useful and fun ways to incorporate buttons into your craft:

 ⭐ Draw or paint sigils on the back of buttons with a sharpie and seal with some clear glue/resin. Sew them onto your shirt, bag, or thread them to wear as jewelry!

⭐ Friendship spells! Buttons are a kind of clasp or connection, therefore using buttons in spells for bonding can symbolize a connection, or clasp, of two or more people!

⭐ Buttons can be used as altar decorations, and larger buttons can act as tiny plates, display stands, or bases for mini offerings!

⭐ Buttons of certain materials can be used to harken back to certain elements, like clay or wooden buttons for Earth, or shell buttons for water.

⭐ Ancestral work! If anyone in your family has sewed they probably have a box/jar/tin of sewing supplies left around with some buttons in it! Use these on ancestral altars to again create that connection.

⭐ Divination. Often buttons are used for eyes on dolls and stuffed animals and placing a button in front of you during a divination ritual can help you visualize and therefore open your third eye.

Happy Practicing!

for the creative witch 🎨

stick a pencil behind your ear — pencils are usually made of cedar wood (juniperus virginiana) which is said to carry spiritual and visionary energies, but can also help with self-mastery; pencil can be enchanted!

moon phases + zodiac signs — use new moon water for starting new painting projects and full moon water for finishing them; use the zodiac of the current moon for your creativity (fire sign: creative and passionate energy; water sign: emotional expression; air sign: planning and mental work; earth sign: hand-made material items like arts and crafts);

planetary rulers of creative days — monday is ruled by the moon (emotions, inspiration); wednesday is ruled by mercury (expression, communication); friday is ruled by venus (love, beauty, art) sunday is ruled by the sun (personality, creativity, expression of self);

surround yourself with crystals — yellow fluorite, carnelian, chrysoberyl, citrine, orange calcite, tangerine quartz, mookaite jasper, fire agate, tiger’s eye, garnet, bloodstone, rhodochrosite, moonstone, pink kunzite, amethyst, ametrine, (herkimer) diamonds, chrysoprase, blue apatite, blue chalcedony, blue fluorite, blue kyanite, lapis lazuli, celestite, blue lace agate, larimar, azurite, opal; …

create your own color meanings — there are traditional and common meanings for colors but it also really helps to think about the colors and feel into the colors yourself. what do you associate with each color and what do different color combinations make you feel? then pin down which color makes you creative and surround yourself with it;

ask the Archangels for help — Archangel Gabriel can help with creativity and dissolving fear; Archangel Jophiel can help with wisdom and communication; Archangel Raphael helps with intuition and creative visualization, also brings healing and harmony; Archangel Haniel can help with expression of self and soul, also helps us to expand our spiritual horizon and therefore our art;

use essential oils while working — tangerine for joy and creativity; lavender for relaxation; clary sage for clarity and vision; jasmine for optimism and confidence; frankincense to calm; rosemary for mental clarity; eucalyptus for enthusiasm and creativity; peppermint for concentration; …

Don’t have any little jars for spell bottles?

Allow me to present...

GRAPHITE CONTAINERS!

They’re super cheap and can be found at basically any grocery store. If you’re a student you’ll likely have a ton of these lying around.

You can empty them, clean them out (I used a toothpick with some tissue paper on the end to whipe off some of the graphite smudges) and fill them with your hearts desire!

Not only all that, but also they’re super portable with how compact they are.
