Happiness Spell Jar
Lately I've been feeling pretty down, so I made this happiness spell jar in order to improve my mood.
For my spell jar I used:
Sea Salt - to promote cleansing
Lavender - to promote cleansing of the mind and body
Camomile - for calming and inner peace
Sage - to get rid of negative energy
Rose Petals - to promote love
Yellow Candle Wax - for joy
First I cleansed my jar with incense and then I added my preferred ingredients. I sealed the jar with yellow candle wax.
I believe in forming my own beliefs. I do not feel the need to follow many rules when it comes to spiritualism. I do what feels right for me and I am open to learn new things. If you want to be part of my journey you can follow my blog.
Lately I’ve been so busy and so mentally drained that I’ve struggled with my practice but I’m getting back to where I want to be.
Super Casual Mini Spells
Need to fall back in love with your craft? If I’ve learned anything, it’s the little moments that count. Learning to make small, everyday things magical is an art all witches can benefit from. Not to mention, being on tumblr often surrounds users with elaborate, expensive altars which, while totally fine, aren’t always realistic.
Making everyday activites a part of your craft is incredibly helpful for:
- getting back into witchcraft after a long break or hiatus
- beginners who don’t feel ready for a formal spell
- witches with mental disabilities who don’t have the energy for a formal spell but still want to continue their practive
- anyone!!! literally anyone!! everyone !!!!!
Here’s some ideas I had! Feel free to add yours on too :)
much love, @nature-is-punk
Casual Kitchen Spells
-Stir your coffee/tea to the right on days you want a boost of extrovertedness, bravery, and confidence.
-Stir your coffee/tea to the left on days you want to focus on yourself. I like to do this before I paint or take a test!
-Envision your goals and wants each day as you make breakfast. Even if it’s just you pouring cereal and picturing an A on that test, it’s a small bit of mindfullness that can make a big difference.
-Mumble or just think of a sentence or two to serve as a little spell, repeating it three times. Then take three bites/sips to cast it! Bonus points if the food you’re eating coordinates with the spell - i.e, eggs for new growth
-Eating oatmeal? Draw sigils with your spoon!
-My mom always said it was good luck to kiss the tea bag before you brew it…Not sure about this one, but might as well!
Casual Bedroom + Bathroom Spells
-Coordinate the colors you wear with your want for the day! Personally, my favorite way to do this is with underwear and socks, since I don’t exactly fancy wearn head to toe orange on days I want to be a bit more positive.
-Leave a few second pause before your feet first touch the ground in the morning, let yourself just have a little moment to dedicate your renewed energy before taking your first steps.
Make sigils with your:
Moisturizer
Foundation
Lip Balm
Sunscreen
-Each time you run the brush through your hair, repeat a little spell for personal growth and health! Clean your brush frequently so there is no old hair and ‘old energy’ adulterating the spell.
-Envision anything negative or toxic in your life being scraped off your skin each time you wash your hands.
-Shower magic is the absolute BEST! Enchant all your soaps so each wash gives you a little boost!
Casual Workplace Spells
-Draw sigils with your eraser on your assignments, portfolio, resume, etc.,
-Consistently churning out sub-par work? Try washing your pens off in the bathroom sink, imagining the water cleansing any sluggish energy. If anyone asks, you were eating something sticky and it got on your pens.
-When going up or down stairs, stick to the right side to attract new friends and maintain confidence.
Stick to the left side to focus on your own path and self.
Casual Misc. Spells
-If walking down the street a distance, come up with a little spell chant. Each step, say a word or piece of the spell.
-Enchanting your shoes - basic, but a must have. I have each of my shoes echanted for the places I generally wear them to–my heels are specialized for beauty and confidence, while my everyday sneakers for resilience and positivity.
- Find a spider in the house? Get a cup, and as you take it outside, explain to it that you could have easily killed it because it was in your home, but you benevolently let him go! Ask a question–the spider will answer within 7 days! Be on the lookout for signs.
- This only works with spiders you find in your house! Not outside.
Always be on the lookout for tiny signs. Finding the magic in little things is important.
Oh thank the Gods I finally have enough motivation to get back into my practices, and summer is right around the corner so I can do more, I really hope I can make things up to my deities after such a long lack of doing anything aside from small mental prayers sometimes
Feast Day Candles
I made these with the tutorial from @baduhennasraven , but instead of Spell Candles I made candles for the Sabbats or Feast Days I celebrate!
Here are all the Feast Day candles in order!
Imbolc
Red, yellow and orange candles were used on this candle. I used pumpkin spice black tea and red glitter on the top of the candle and it is tied with an orange piece of twine and a triskele charm. These are all my personal associates for Brighid and Imbolc is her Feast day.
Spring Equinox
This candle celebrates the dichotomy of light and dark. This Feast Day for me represents the turning of the wheel and after this day of equal light and dark it will start to get lighter every day. I used yellow, black, and white candles for this. The light side has salt for cleansing, and white quartz chips. The dark side has silver glitter and smoky quartz chips for banishing. It is topped with lemon peel for cleansing.
Beltaine
This candle is for one of the first Fire festivals of the year. It has purple, green, and red candles dripped on it. The herbs used are lavender, dried roses (whole and crumbled up) and dried honeysuckle - for the sweetness, love and romance of the season. It also has pink glitter for romance and pink Himalayan sea salt for self care and cleansing. This is basically like my Valentine’s day. It is tied with a purple sparkly ribbon and the charm is a purple butterfly, to represent the Fair Folk. This holiday is a time when the veil between the worlds is at its thinnest, and it is said the Faeries walk the land.
Midsummer
I live in very warm place so basically summer starts on Beltaine and lasts well into August or September. This candle is for the summer solstice, or as I celebrate it - Midsummer. This candle is for Manannán Mac Lir. It has green, purple, and ocean scented aqua candle drips on it. It is topped with beach sand, salt, shell pieces, and ocean jasper chips - to represent the sea, the realm of Manannán. It is tied with a straw ribbon that represents the rushes we pay as rent to him, and a sea shell with a hole in it I found at the beach. It smells the best out of all the candles!
Lughnasa
One of my favorite Feast Days, this candle is for the harvest feast of Lughnasadh. It represents three deities, Lugh, Taitlu, and Brighid. The yellow is for Brighid, who I honor this time of the year as well. The purple is for Taitlu, who plowed the land non-stop, purple represents her bruised body and tireless work. Green is for Lugh, the Many-Talented. This Feast Day is the funeral games he threw for Taitlu. It is topped with pumpkin pie spice, which looks like dirt and smells like all the good things that grow in it. It also has Brighid’s tea on top, and then a sprinkle of all the left over colors of wax to represent all the talents of Lugh. It is tied with a green ribbon and a sprig of Ornage flowers, to represent the harvest that starts on this Feast Day.
Samhain
Samhain was a fun one. It’s not quite done, because I am going to look for a charm for it. It has black, purple, and white candle drips. It’s the second time of the year that the veil between worlds is thinnest, and is know for the spirits of the dead to visit. The purple is for the Fae as wel, for they too step through the veil. The top has silver glitter, rosemary for remembrance, and theee juniper berries, offering for the honored dead. This candle is to honor my ancestors, the gods and not-gods, and the beloved dead.
And those are the candles I worked on today!
After about a month, it’s FINALLY done! My Apollo painting for @medusa-must-live !!! Thank you Amanda for being so patient and wonderful!!! You are so beautiful, talented, and incredible, I hope you like it!!!! 💕☀️
I’ve got tons of meadowsweet growing outside my house and I learned it’s associated with love. So now it’s my offering to Aphrodite. 💕
Aphrodite ourania Heavenly
Apollo, great Healer, God of the Sun,
shine thy light on me.
Aim thine arrow into the darkness and pierce it with golden glory.
Warm my body, mind, and spirit,
allow me to heal.
Careen thy chariot through the sky,
trailing health, vitality, and joyfulness in thy wake.
Grant me thy strength, O Golden God,
to overcome and persist through the darkest of hours.
When the sun does rise, i give thanks for thine grace,
and know that a warm and watchful eye
will wink from the heavens,
strumming a joyous song
to celebrate.
(Tip Jar)
Me: thank the gods.
Person: don’t you mean “thank God?”
Me: but I believe in more than one god and they all deserve credit. We’re a team :D
Apollo 💛🧡
I sing, Muses, of gentle healer Apollon,
who hums a divine tune as he stitches wounds.
I sing of Apollon the protector,
who shields the young from horrors.
I sing of shining Phoebus,
whose light caresses the faces of his worshippers.
But I also sing of Apollon of plague,
whose powerful arrows tear through evildoers.
I sing of Apollon the fierce, leader of the hunt,
who spares none of the wicked.
I sing of Apollon the oracle,
whose scathing prophecy makes confused men weep.
Golden lord, you are awe inspiring.
I shall sing your praises far beyond the end of my days.
To Apollo, in progress
hi! I'm new to worshipping Apollo and Hermes and need to incorporate more devotional acts/offerings into my day. Do you have any ideas as to what I should add into my routine? Also, what makes something a devotional act? Like, I read that taking your medicine can be considered an act of devotion to Apollo, but do I need to, like, say a prayer or anything while doing so?
Thank you :)
THIS IS MY FIRST ASK IM SO EXCITED AHHH
Devotional offerings are some of my favorite offerings! Simply put, devotional offerings are non-physical offerings or the act of creating an offering. They can be super simple or super intricate, it really depends on your practice. As for the medicine example (the offering being the act of taking your medicine), I personally would say a prayer in order to get into the right headspace. It’s really up to you! As for some examples (and this will stray a little bit into UPG/SPG territory), I think Apollon absolutely adores art from his worshippers. Whenever I finish a devotional poem to him, I feel a rush of joy and warmth that I think may come from him. Even if you don’t consider yourself an artist, try drawing or writing him something! I can’t give you any tips when it comes to Hermes, but I hope this helped!
