Mistakes are a natural part of being human, and they’re part of growing. 🌱 The most successful people had to make a lot of mistakes before learning what worked for them, so don’t let a mistake stop you! NEW! 2020 Wall Calendar✨ | Loading Penguin Hugs | Instagram
Watch: Poet Melissa Newman-Evans confesses number 9 is “the most terrifying thing to think about yourself.”
Moon Phases in Hoodoo
It’s really common to see modern witchcraft correspondences for the moon phases, but rarely or never for hoodoo. Frequently the full moon is associated with “light magic” and the new moon with “dark magic” using the classic racist terminology we’re all too familiar with. We also live in a world where books on working the roots that are actually written by black authors are a somewhat rare find, and Lucky Mojo is one of the first Google hits for almost every hoodoo-related search you might make.
So, Spirit Roots presents… the moon phases for root workers! An Africana guide to the lunar cycle. Remember, you don’t have to cast the “right” spell at the “right” time, it’s just a useful boost to follow the moon’s patterns when it feels right to do so or works for your path. Listen to your ancestors, and trust your intuition on it!

Pagan & Wiccan Advice & Blogging
🌿💦🌞Summer Witchcraft Aesthetic🌞💦🌿
“Oh I love roses! I try growing them myself, but they never get very far.”
“Would you like to know the secret to healthy rose bushes,” I asked, knowing that she would not like the answer.
“Do tell!”
Grin. “Blood.”
The customer paused, waiting for me to say that I was kidding. But I wasn’t so it never came. She became nervous.
And before I could explain that blood meal is a common soil fixer and fertilizer, she put her hands up, spun around and said-
“Bye.”
You want to know the secrets to a beautiful garden? You better be prepared for some weird shit.
Well someone felt like being the ominous witch in the small, mysterious shop today.
.
…also, tomatoes like blood too.
My interest in plants extends beyond ‘oh look a pretty flower’ and straight into ‘plants are fucking metal.’
Evidently, you’re supposed to plant garlic in the same places as your roses because the garlic will repel a rose-specific aphid.
So what I’m saying is that between the romantic symbolism of the rose, the bloodmeal in the soil, and the fresh garlic all over the place-
You could really set yourself up for an encounter with some VERY pissed vampires.
Roses really love banana skins, too. Just… stick one in there before you plant a rose bush or spronkle around one that’s already in the ground. They’ll adore you.
Mmm… blood banana.
I made tiny ass Home Depot Petunias blossom like magic that they’re nearly overtaking the trellises.
How did I accomplish this?
Once a week I bury a small amount of leftover meat in the soil.
My morning glories loved the crap out of the charred chicken bones I gave them. They’re already an enthusiastic plant, but the blooms I had this year were extraordinary.
That’s cool as heck. Is this all plants, or just specific plants? Inquiring witches want to know!
See, here we’re getting into soil chemistry, which is an entire doctorate of study and I only know a little bit above the average person.
But the primary reason why bloodmeal is used for rose cultivation is because roses grow best in nitrogen-rich soil. So plants that need a lot of nitrogen in their soil would benefit from blood meal. Others, who do not benefit from high nitrogen, would not fair well. So I would not use it on the entire garden.
Bones/bone meal are used to add phosphorus to the soil, which is why its used as a fertilizer. Generally, most plants benefit from it, but that’s not guaranteed. Crushed eggshells provide the same treatment, with the added bonus of deterring ants.
Coffee grounds will make the soil more acidic.
Ashes of hardwood trees will fix soil if it’s been overwatered. I think it serves as another nitrogen fixer, but don’t quote me on that.
I’d have to take a look in one of my books before I say anything else, but there’s tons of materials that double both as soil fixers and offerings.
As a green witch and avid Gardener and plant lover I love all of this so much. All this shit is going in my grimoire.
ORIXA
Èṣù, Eshu
Èṣù (other names include Exu, Eshu Eleggua, Esu Elegbara, Eshu Elegbara, Elegba, Legba) is one of the Orisha (Divinities) of Yoruba spirituality and mythology, he is now Divinity to many diaspora. Esu (pronounced A-shew) is the most misunderstood of the orisa. He is also one of the most powerful.
He is both a mischief maker and a great teacher. In tradition he is the gatekeeper of communication between this world and the spirit world. He also represents the doors of possibilities that open and close in one’s life. He introduces you to confusion, hard choices and struggle which is why some would confuse him with the devil.
However he brings these circumstances into your life so that through your choices whether good or bad your spirit will mature. You pass the test and open the right door, you will be rewarded. You open the wrong door out of selfishness, carelessness, or lack of wisdom etc. and he will hand you your due consequence. In effect he introduces roads that create the need for choices, and it is the individuals choices that guide his or her own destiny. He is neither good nor evil and he shows allegiance to no one.
Esu rules through the ajo-gun, the beneficial as well as detrimental forces of the universe. His colors are red and black, or in some cases black and white to display the duality of his nature. These forces were divinely endowed by Oludumare to be either good and generous or bad and evil.
The good ajogun control wealth, children, wives/husbands, success, love, and so on. The evil ajogun control death, illness, loss, mental unrest, and similar forces. Esu has all the ajogun at his command and can be kind and generous if approached positively or can unleash the demonic forces of the evil ajogun when provoked. With this ability, Esu serves a dual purpose, both good and bad, in human existence. Esu, through sacrifice, serves as messenger between humans and the other orisa and between humans and God.
The importance of Esu is clear, yet the first Christian missionaries were convinced that Esu was the Devil. These missionaries confused Esu’s ability to trick and punish those who do not sacrifice with an innate predisposition to do so. Esu does punish, but he does not punish capriciously. Esu rewards, but he does not reward the undeserving. His apparent contradictions are not contradictory at all. Rather, they are logical responses to the behavior of those he deals with. From a Christian viewpoint of divine forgiveness, the actions of Esu toward those who ignore their obligations might indeed seem extremely harsh and unforgiving, the work of “a devil.” Yet, in the Yoruba cosmology— in which the universe contains all possibilities, both good and bad, and individuals have opportunities for controlling their own destinies by working with natural forces—the failure to control one’s own destiny is seen as an act of gross stupidity with potentially dire consequences.
To those who work with and not against the natural order of the universe, who “sacrifice” in both the literal and the philosophical meaning of the word, the potential is unlimited and the rewards beyond comprehension.
Esu is also the possessor of divine ase, the inner energy and power that allows us to access the right side of the brain and use its powers. Ase is similar to, but more than, aura, soul, or spirituality. It is a living, breathing, palpable flow of energy that can either increase or diminish, depending upon our behavior.
It is believed that after Oludumare created such evil things as death, disease, illness, pestilence, plague, temper, jealousy, fighting, and loss, and after he created such blessings as love, wives, husbands, children, money, and long life, he created Esu’s powers. Esu’s powers allowed him to control or limit the excesses of evil, whose powers would otherwise have been unlimited. By controlling the powers of evil through sacrifice, Esu makes available to the men and women who dwell on Earth the blessings of the good things and the orisa that symbolize them.
Esu loves music and dance costumes and laughter. He loves good food and wine. Moderation is a characteristic of other orisa, not Esu. He wants what he wants, and he wants it now. He is rampantly sexual, and every male Esu figure contains either an upward spike of hair or a spike of iron to symbolize his constant phallic capacities.
Though usually symbolized as a male figure, the actual Esu shrines in Nigeria consist of both male and female Esu. All orisa in the Yoruba pantheon, contains both male and female characteristics—just as all humans contain both.
Esu can never be bored. He will easily and willingly provoke conflict or mischief among others simply to get some action going. He uses trickery and illusion to both punish and reward. He is a master of herbal magic and medicine.
Huge and small, tall and short, active and inactive—just a few of the seemingly contradictory facets of this powerful orisa. But in the greater sense, there are no contradictions at all, for Esu represents choices—your choices. That you see them as limited is simply your perception; Esu knows that limitlessness really exists.
He, unlike the Christian notion of the Devil, does not tempt you or encourage you to make the wrong choices. Rather, he rewards you for making the right ones. When you, of your own volition, choose the wrong course of action, he uses these same actions to punish and point out your foolishness. Cruel? No, simply real. If we cut down the trees of ancient forests, pollute our waters, and poison our air, the results will be as harsh and definitive as any that Esu could conceive. Neither he, nor the universe we are part of, “forgives.” If we survive our mistakes, we learn from them. If we place dunce caps on our heads, we must remove them. If we sacrifice, we prosper and survive.
That is Esu’s role. Though carefree, fun-loving, and loathing to be “tied down,” his sense of justice is greater than any orisa other than Obatala and Ogun. And his free-wheeling life-style and love of merriment are not contradictions to that sense of justice any more than are any of his other actions. Rather, they are the examples that will hopefully erase our ingrained sense of foreboding, impotence, and helplessness about life and our role in it. Esu says, “Life can be fun, rewarding, and exciting if you make the right choices.” How sad that most of us were raised to think that the “right” choices preclude personal enjoyment and satisfaction!
Legacy
Carried to the new world during the middle passage by descendants of West African diasporic faiths like Santería/Lukumi ( In the Caribbean) and Candomblé (In brazil) this divinity developed in the Americas, where Èṣù was and is still sometimes identified with Saint Anthony of Padua, Saint Michael or Santo Niño de Atocha, depending on the situation or location. He alson known as Exu de Quimbanda in Candomblé and Legba in haitain Vodun.
Eshu, Exu, Elegua, by Andre Hora
Maferefun Eleggua, Eshu Aye!
Thank you for strengthening me, thank you for opening the roads to all the blessings in my life.
Thank you for guiding me, thank you for all your wisdom and direction.
Thank you for protecting me, thank you for shutting the doors to those who seek to harm me.

I notice that literally no one seems to write spells for calling in thunder storms. What, y’all afraid of the rain? Lightening? Is it the thunder? Because honestly, when I hear thunder, I feel amazing. I wanna go outside. Look up and just by being out during that weather be saying “i dare you, I’m not scared.”
And yet, no one ever makes any spells for calling thunder storms. So that’s my goal now. Be a bomb ass weather witch who actually wants what other people consider “bad weather” because to me, it’s just calming. There’s something magical about one of the only reasons we can exist on this planet falling from the sky like it’s nothing.

We speak from the flame in a language of saints. Our voices dark, dark, burning; as we spark into you, our heat carries through, and we feel your old blood’s yearning.

Spirit Communication Sachet
Something quick I threw together to help aid me in communication with my companions. I like to sleep with it beneath my pillow since all of them can communicate through my dreams. I also hold it when actively trying to communicate or meditate with my companions in mind. Even for astral travel I have it on me. Pretty much anything and everything having to do with my companions and I feel I need an extra boost, I have this on me. I plan to charge it beneath each of the supermoons coming up.

Astral Travel with a Short Attention Span
INTRO
Do you have a short attention span like I do? Alright, here’s a tip that might save your life: when you meditate to enter the astral, don’t focus on a stagnant object or scene. Seriously, if you couldn’t be asked to stare at your homework for more than a few seconds without getting bored, do you really think it’s the best idea to listen to that one guided meditation where they ask you to envision a leaf floating slowly, gently, calmly on the soft summer breeze?
THE TRICK
There was a time I thought I would never get into the astral because of exactly this problem. I’m easily bored. I can barely sit still to watch TV. What did I do about this in regards to meditation? I figured out a trick: calm your breathing in the physical and then hit the ground running in the astral. Don’t stop. Keep moving. Interact with the environment in every way you can. Do you see a door? A tunnel? A bloody wardrobe? Quick, go inside. It’s probably Narnia.
The magical thing that happens for me is that being so physically active in the astral excites my hyperactive brain and fully absorbs my attention. My brain then gives the “green light” to my body that it’s okay to settle down and relax for a while instead of sending constant signals of boredom and restlessness to my body.
With constant practice, it now takes me less time (on a good, calm day) to reach the point where I’ve satisfied my brain into letting me relax. That means I’m able to sit down in a stagnant scene, if I’m so inclined, and do quiet things in the astral like admire the vibrancy of the grass, study the details of a patterned quilt, or just cuddle with a friend. If I feel my mind getting antsy, I simply get up and go on an adventure.
CONCLUSION
Remember, just because this trick works for me doesn’t mean it’ll work for you, but don’t give up on the first try! It’s also important to combine various tricks and techniques. Mix and match until you find what works for you. Personally? I have to sit up straight or I’ll fall asleep, but I need pillows behind my back or the lack of spinal support will pull me out of the astral with an ache. Additionally, I require no people in my vicinity, no environmental noise, closed curtains or the dark of night, and a specific drumming track with a heavy, repetitive beat playing through my headphones. The goal, for me, is to minimize if not eradicate the slightest potential distraction because, on top of having a short attention span, I’m easily startled. If my cellphone rings mid-trance, I risk a heart attack.
I hope this helps someone who’s struggling like I used to. Don’t ever feel like a short attention span is going to wall you out from the astral forever. I promise you, it may not be easy, but it’s not impossible. Practice really does make perfect, so don’t be afraid to trip a few times on the road to success. You’ll get where you’re going. <3
No pressure, but if you found this helpful and you’re able, please consider leaving me a tip or checking out my services on Storenvy.
UPDATE: I’m dredging this post up from the abyss to tack on a little note. See, I was just diagnosed with ADHD (combined type). I recall some negativity floating about how this method wouldn’t actually work if you have ADD or ADHD, and I wasn’t certain I had grounds to disagree at the time, but now I am 100% confident, so I’m back to whisper into the void: Don’t give up before you even try. This method worked for me, so maybe it’ll work for you. Give it a shot, and if it doesn’t work, keep experimenting. Forget conventions. You’ll figure something out. Never let anyone tell you meditation is impossible for the ADD/ADHD brain. Is it difficult even with tailored methods? Hell yes. But impossible? No.
