Shut Up Spirits/Fae/Other Supernatural Nonsense

For when something starts ringing the bell on your altar in your bedroom and you’re in the living room with the pets and no one else is home, and you don’t feel like dealing with it.

So you’re freaked out, or your chill about it but you don’t want to deal with whatever it is. What do you do? Run away? Cry uncontrolably? Pee yourself? Pack another bowl? Call Ghostbusters? Deal with it yourself? Or put a hold on the matter?

Well, what I do, is first start burning sage, san palto, and incense, while visualizing pushing out anything that can harm you with the smoke (any incense is good, but I burn lavender if you’re really scared because it’s soothing). *

After you feel like it’s satisfactory, then put salt and water in a spray bottle and shake it up real good. 

Then start spraying doorways (a line at the bottom of the door and top of the door frame), and the windowsills in the same manner. (While doing this visualize creating a bearer to keep anything harmful out.)

*If you can’t use smoke to cleanse, try clapping your hands 3 times in each corner of every room to chase out anything hiding (Don’t ask me why it works, I don’t know why, and I can’t remember who told me). Then try to find a soothing smell to calm your nerves.

How to reach out to your local fae!

Chances are, there are fae in your area. Even if you live in a huge city, no greenery to be found, there will still be a fae presence. Now, it may not be very large, but it will be there. These are all methods that I’ve personally employed or toyed with in contacting fae and working with them. Feel free to adjust them to fit your practice and needs! The easiest way to find fae, in my experience, is to go to a wooded or green area. Yes, absolutely, parks count. In fact, parks are a great place to go to find fae, especially in the evening. I can’t tell you what exactly you will find. Use your preferred method of communication, and bring an offering! A variety of offerings is good. Something the animals can eat (non invasive species bird seed is a great start!), feed the ducks in the pond, leave deer corn, whatever is appropriate to the area. In my experience, most groups of fae with be your everyday nature spirits, but there will probably be someone with a bit of muscle. You may need to appease them before you work with them! We have a lot of wild boar in our area, so these pushy guardians are the ones I call the Boar Spirits, usually headed by a Boar Lord. To appease the Boar lord and get permission to work with the fae under his guard, I had to make an offering of whiskey. I meditated on what he would want once I sensed his presence, but as I said, use your method of communication! Because you will be forming a personal bond. I have also used Tarot to speak with dragons in a different place. Some fae are more articulate than others and need a more detailed conduit, such as tarot, or astral projection to discuss with you directly. Others are fairly simple.

As I said before, even in a city you can find fae. If you have a houseplant, make a faerie house, and leave offerings there. They are very mischievous to invite into your home, and you may find that things tend to go missing when you do! Another thing that you use to draw them to you is a pet, or a connection with animals, though I haven’t done that myself.

I made my offerings, had my discussions, and asked the Boar Lord to bless my athame and invited any fae that wished to use it as a conduit to do it. It really all boils down to how you feel their presence and how they manifest to you.

A Fae Does Not Forget

A Fae does not forget, and finds it very hard to let go of an insult. Perhaps this is why it’s said that the wrath of a Fae is not something you want to mess with. It’s not necessarily a pompous thing about faeries when it’s said things insult them, it’s because they feel so purely. ‘Insults’ hurt.

Mentally a Fae may be ancient in wisdom, intelligence, and cunning wit, but their emotions are much like the purity of those of a child. Purity not meaning, ‘good’, purity in meaning raw and true without inhibition. In that way, they are innocently feeling things. Their emotions are like snow.

But when you feel so much more purely like that, the tiniest things can hurt you, or make you mad, because so many people don’t feel or see things the same way they do. It’s frustrating, and also makes them very very sad that the human world can’t be more innocent in emotion and heart and free they are.

It makes them angry.

And if you hurt them, (insult them) that’s not going to go away. It’s going to manifest as anger and rage, because you hurt them, frustrate them, and made them really mad.

It is in this regard to, that Fae find favor in children or child-like humans who haven’t lost that innocence of heart and mind. They admire and see the purity in the innocent. They respect that and like that as a trait.

Bluebells (Hyacinthoides spp.):

History:

The Common English Bluebell is a beloved treasure of Britain where its presence is said to indicate the ancientness of a forest. The bluebells are a tourist attraction in some parts of England. “Bluebell Trains” once ran through the Chiltern Hills offering tourists a view of the masses of bluebells that helped earn the area the designation of “Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty”. Although these tourist trains no longer run, the Bluebell Railway in East Sussex runs past plenty of bluebells in the right season.

Folklore:

Bluebells are widely known as harebells in Scotland. The name originated due to the hares that frequented fields covered with harebells. Some sources claim that witches turned themselves into hares to hide among the flowers.

Another name for bluebells is Dead Man’s bells. This is due to the fact that fairies were believed to cast spells on those who dare to pick or damage the beautiful, delicate flowers.

Faery associations:

Bluebells are also closely linked to the realm of fairies and are sometimes referred to as “fairy thimbles.” To call fairies to a convention, the bluebells would be rung. The bluebell is a fairy flower, used by the fae to trap humans who encroach on natural places. If a child picks a bluebell in a bluebell wood, he will never be seen again. If an adult picks one, he will wander lost, led astray by pixies forever, or until someone rescues him.

Etymological points:

The Latin name for this flower is Endymion who was the lover of the moon goddess, Selene. The goddess put Endymion into an eternal sleep, so she alone could enjoy his beauty. Bluebells were said by herbalists to help prevent nightmares, and used as a remedy against leprosy, spider-bites and tuberculosis, but the bluebell is poisonous.

Uses in witchcraft & spells:

Wearing a wreath of bluebells is said to compel one to speak only truth. 

Bluebells may be used in love spells: Turn a Common English bluebell flower inside out to ensure you will win the heart of the one you desire.

Bluebells are among the first flowers of spring and so represent rebirth. They may be planted on gravesites to comfort mourning visitors and represent rebirth of the dead.

Planet: Saturn or moon / Element: air

Corresponds to Throat & 3rd Eye chakras.

Flower language meanings:

humility

constancy

gratitude

everlasting love

🧚‍♀️ Manners with the fae 🧚‍♀️

There is always DOs and DON'Ts with the fae, be cautious but be happy !

DON'T

🧚‍♀️ give your name, use a pseudonyme. They might use it against you.

🧚‍♀️ be disrespectful ( with human beings too, don't be mean guys ! )

🧚‍♀️ say thank you, they might think you owe them something and that ties a contract.

🧚‍♀️ step in a fairy circle, or folklore says you will dance to your death, or you will be tied to the fairy realm.

🧚‍♀️ accept gifts, again will tie you to the fairy realm.

🧚‍♀️ eat or drink what they provide, they will drag you in their world.

🧚‍♀️ portray them as good or bad, they might get offended, they have different points of view than us.

🧚‍♀️ put offerings for no reasons, they might get confused and frustrated, they may trick you after.

🧚‍♀️ blame them, if you think they did something ask politely or make a trade to have your thing or situation back.

DO

🧚‍♀️ leave consistant offerings if you work with one, it is always appreciated.

🧚‍♀️ meditate, use divination to communicate with them, but always protect.

🧚‍♀️ listen to the messages they want you to hear, it might be important if a fae comes to you.

🧚‍♀️ little altars for them if you are used to work with a specific one, but prefer not next to iton.

🧚‍♀️ honor them and nature with your daily actions, they will think you are a good human.

🧚‍♀️ research ! Research ! More and more.

🧚‍♀️ write your own discoveries, or make a faepedia, it is really handy.

☯️CONTROVERSIAL☯️

Fairy doors : many people demonize it but if the fae invites itself too easily in your home, making one with a filter sigil will prevent bad entities from coming in AND will force the fae to go through the little door instead of random parts of your home. That way you know who is inside.

Should I work with the fae ? : I would recommand baby witches not to work with the fae ( I am not a baby witch antmore but sometimes I still struggle ) they are trickster, as a baby witch you may not have all the cards in your hands if something bad happens to you. Be cautious they are not sugar creatures only ! That being said, do what you want, that is your craft.

Honey and alcool : they are said to make the fae drunk BUT, like people, every fae is different. so get to know your fae before giving some, it is more cautious, plus it is not an obligation.

Always protect yourself, stay safe !

[moon-lightfaerie]

In Irish mythology, Brigid is the daughter of the Dagda and had two sisters also named Brigid and is part of the Tuatha de Danann, the supernatural Irish race. The three sisters made up the triple aspect of the one goddess: Brigid of the hearth, Brigid of the forge and Brigid of Inspiration. She is a goddess of spring, fertility, family, the hearth, childbirth, fire, blacksmiths, scholars, physicians, prophets, healing, poetry, occult knowledge, and justice. She was said to be born at sunrise and is often depicted with solar rays coming out of her head, making her one of the Irish solar deities alongside Lugh. It is said that wherever she walks four leaf clovers and flowers will grow. She also created the tradition of “keening” when her son Ruadan died in battle, a song-like wail used by women at funerals. In some cases she is also the goddess of sacred wells, springs and healing waters.  

History

Her name comes in different spellings like Brig, Brighid, Brigit, or Brigid but it means “Exalted one” or “Fiery arrows”. She is a goddess of Pre-christian Ireland but versions of her are found all over Europe; she has ties to Brigantia, a warrior goddess of the Brigantes tribe of Britain. She was a beloved goddess of the Celts and has survived through centuries including the Christianization of Ireland and the rest of Europe where most traces of Druidism and Paganism were forgotten. The people of Ireland loved her so much and refused to let her be demonized by the church -like the rest of the gods- that they converted her into a saint known as St. Brigid of Kildare. There are also three rivers named after her one in Ireland, Wales and England: Brigit, Braint and Brent.The river that runs through Wales is known to have healing properties.

Imbolc

Also known as Brigid’s day, Candlemas or St. Brigid’s feast, Imbolc is one of the four fire festivals in Celtic paganism and celebrates the return of spring. Since Brigid is the goddess of spring and was said to go away during the winter, people would light a candle in honor of her return. Offerings of milk, bread, and corn cakes were set out and a seat at the dinner table was left open for her presence.  Cows and sheep were seen as sacred to the goddess because they would provide milk for the town during the cold months and they would give birth around Imbolc. This festival celebrated the Maiden aspect of Brigid and young women would carry corn dollies dressed in white which represented the goddess. The women would also dress in white and attend a special feast for Imbolc where young suitors could mingle with the ladies. Imbolc is a time of fertility, cleansing and the light returning after a long winter.

🌸 Fairy lore 🌸

Fairies often try to extinguish Midsummer bonfires via whirlwind, but can be stopped if fire is thrown at them.

Leaping through the Midsummer bonfire protects one from fairies.

Driving cattle through the embers of the bonfire with protect them from them from the attention of evil spirits.

In order to escape the chase of fairies, cross a stream of running water.

Carry rue in your pocket to ward off evil fairies.

If you are being pixie-led or troubled by fairies, turn your clothes inside out to confuse them and then make a run for it.

If your companion is being dragged into a fairy circle, throw in one of your gloves and they will disperse giving your companion time to escape.

Scatter flax on you floor to keep fairies out of your bedroom.

When confronted by fairies show them any form of iron and they should vanish as they are terrified of iron. Lore says to keep a knife or nail in your pocket or under your pillow at night.

Hanging a Hag Stone above your door frame will keep evil fairies at bay.

Rowan wood tied into a cross with red thread will protect the hearth when hung up somewhere high.

A besom placed beside the fireplace will stop fairies from coming down chimneys.

Burying a Witch Bottle in front of your doorstep will also provide protection from pesky fairies.

Oatmeal sprinkled on clothes or carried in pockets will keep bad fairies at bay.

 St. John’s wart prevents fairies from carrying you off while you sleep.

Mulberry trees in the gardens will keep away evil fairies. Dancing counterclockwise around a Mulberry tree at Midsummer will also aid in this

✨ signs of house fae ✨

okkkk this post is just for fun and for you babes are into the more mystical side of spirituality! signs there are faeries in your house : 

you see lights dancing out the corner of your eye 

your shoes seem to move - when I was little, I would always swear to my parents that my shoes would shift every time I woke up. the movements are usually so tiny that most people will dismiss it as their brains messing with them.

jewelry and shiny objects vanish  a l l   t h e   f u c k i n g   t i m e.  I once left a dangly earring on my bathroom counter, turned around, and looked back to see it slipping into the sink. it was as if a magnet was pulling it in, craziest thing in the world !! (then proceeded to cry because I really wanted to wear that fucking earring bitch)

you walk into a room and immediately forget what you went in there to do/get - sometimes just a psychological thing but if it happens randomly + frequently, could be a sign!

plants grow effortlessly around your house - even if you live in an urban area or don’t actively garden, you’ll find that everything just grows quickly.

birds, bees, wasps, etc. build nests around your house - even though there are a thousand other natural places for them to live.

your pets get random bursts of energy/excitement despite any visible stimulation - in celtic folklore this is considered a sign that the fae are playing around with your pets!

you hear bells, tapping, or singing at night or early morning - will sound like it’s distant but close at the same time, as if drifting from another realm.

🌷 feel free to add onto this list with your own signs and experiences! 🌷

🌼🌞Guardians Of The Garden Spell🌞🌼

🌼 SPELL OF THE DAY: JULY 29 🌼

🌞 YOU’LL NEED:

FOUR STONES OF SIMILAR SIZE AND SHAPE

ACRYLIC PAINTS AND PAINTBRUSHES

✴ ✵ ✶ ✷ ✸ ❇ ✹ ✺ ✻ ✼ ❈ ✮ ✡ ✴ ✵ ✶ ✷ ✸ ❇ ✹ ✺ ✻ ✼ ❈ ✮ ✡ ✼ ❈ ✮ ✡ ✸

🌞🌼 In addition to household guardians, many cultures call upon protective beings to watch over the fields and crops, especially as the harvest season approaches. Whether you have a large farm or just a few herbs in pots on your apartment steps, you can do this working to ensure that the guardians will be keeping an eye on your harvest.

🌞🌼 Paint the stones in colors that correspond to the four elements -brown or green for earth, white or silver to symbolize air, red or orange for fire, and blue to represent water. After the paint has dried, place the stones in your garden so earth is to the north, air to the east, fire in the south, and water at the west. As you cite each one, say “Powers of (ELEMENT),watch over my garden from the (DIRECTION). Protect my land and the crops in the soil. Protect those who gather the harvest, as we offer thanks and gratitude.”

🌞🌼 Keep an eye on the stones as the harvest season begins. If they fall over or get covered in weeds or dirt, tidy them up as they watch over your garden.

Baby Witch in Search of Advice for Deity Searching

Hello there! I’ve been interested and semi-involved with witchy stuff since I was very young, but I never actually put any energy into a real practice until recently. I’m very new and have little to no resources minus a few crystals/rocks and a very dry stick of sage from several years ago. 

I’ve been very drawn to finding a deity ever since I began my journey on the magic path. It feels almost like a necessity to find my deity before I can begin casting spells other than my altar’s protection circle (which I still haven’t done because I recently had to move into a temporary place). I’m also really interested in the fae, nature/gardening, and using my energy to only put out good vibes. I’m not anti-hexxing but I don’t think it’s something I would ever do. I’m a huge sucker for the ~Magic of Friendship~ but I haven’t been able to find many gods/goddesses/deities/spirits that work exclusively or specifically with platonic love. I have spiritual connections with Norse and Celtic beliefs, but something has also been drawing me to Egyptian lately. I’m a primarily-fiction writer, if that also helps.

I share all this information with you in hopes that someone more experienced than myself might be able to point me in the right direction. I’ve been doing my research but it feels like I’m miles away from where I want to be. I don’t want to rush my learning experience but I also feel a bit stagnated in my newbie work. I’m ready to start the nitty gritty of praying each day and casting. 

If anyone has any tips/advice/answers, I am all ears!

🧙‍♀️ Wands🧙‍♀️

I see many gorgeous,crystal -encrusted wands for sale in metaphysical shops,and I am sure they are super powered. Bear in mind, though, that is a wonderful thing indeed to make your own wand. Start with a tree branch that has fallen to the ground on its own. Sand and polish the rough edges, as it is a wand, not a weapon. Then give it a good smudging. Hot-glue a large quartz crystal onto the wand near the handle, and hot-glue on any crystals that have properties that will complement your magic. Citrine makes an excellent pointer tip for your wand and aligns your self-identity with your spirit.

🔮Crystals And Gems To Enhance Your Tools   🔮

Here are stones I recommend for harnessing various powers with wands: 

Amber  💎 for grounding

Amethyst  💎 for balancing and intuition

Aventurine 💎 for creative visualization

Bloodstone  💎 for abundance and prosperity 

Calcite 💎 for warding off negativity

Chalcedony 💎for power over dark spirits

Citrine 💎 for getting motivated, and attracting money and success

Fluorite 💎 for communicating with fairies and other unseen beings

Garnet 💎for protection from gossip

Geode 💎 for getting through periods of extreme difficulty

Hematite 💎 for strength and courage

Jade 💎 for wisdom to interpret or realize powerful dreams

Jasper 💎 for stability

Lodestone 💎 for bringing a lover back into your life

Mahogany Obsidian 💎for feeling sexy and emanating sensuality

Moss Agate 💎 for powers of persuasion and healing

Quartz Crystal 💎 for divining your dreams

Rhodochrosite  💎 for staying on course in pursuing your life’s true purpose

Rose Quartz 💎 for love

Turquoise 💎 for safety when traveling

Watermelon Tourmaline 💎 for planning your best possible future

Simple Healing Spell

Outcome: To send healing energy to yourself or a loved one 

Requirements: Just your lovely self and perhaps some peace and quiet to concentrate

Method: Settle yourself into a comfortable position, whether this is laying down or sitting in your favourite chair. Just somewhere that brings you some peace.  Once settled, imagine a light which surrounds your feet. Think of what your feet do for you. They have taken every step with you throughout your time here. They have grown hard from work. They perhaps ache from old pains, hard work, injury or illness. Take a moment to remember what they have done for you and the journey you have been on together, positive or not. Once complete, allow the light to envelop your feet.

Move up to your ankles. Think about how they help you. They give you motion and balance when moving. Maybe they’ve had hurt too. Perhaps you’ve sprained it or twisted them. Hold on to that memory of healing, even if it was not total. Allow the light to now encompass your ankles. 

Continue in this way, moving over as many or as few body parts as you wish and take a moment to think of their purpose, how they have served you, how they have healed and how you will continue to use them. The light can travel with your thoughts. 

Do not shy away from body parts which have caused you pain. These are the most important - whether it is physical or mental pain, these are body parts which you have had a rocky journey with. But you are healing. 

Once this healing light has hugged your entire body, imagine it rising above you and forming into a ball of pure, kind energy. 

If the healing spell is for yourself, allow this energy to float gentle as feather back into your being. 

If the healing spell is for another, allow this energy to journey to those who need it most.

Protection Charm Spell ✨

Hello Beautiful Witches!

Today I bring to you TWO in one protection spell for both your familiars/Pet friends and yourself! This spell is very simple and the very first spell I wrote!

The intent of this spell is to protect and keep evil and harm away from you or a loved one (if you’re making this for someone else). For this spell I used a necklace.

Start by collecting:

🍃 An item to charm

🍃 1 Black Candle (for safety, protection, banish negativity)

🍃 1 White Candle (for peace, purity, healing)

🍃 Incense (Sandalwood – protection, Cedarwood – healing, purification, protection, Coconut – protection)

🍃 Black Tourmaline (for protection, banishing and security. Not needed but if you’d like an extra oomph. You could also get a black tourmaline charm/piece of jewelry)

(Note: you do not need any of these items to successfully work this spell, if you only have yourself, belief and intent you are all set!)

🔮 Casting: 🔮

Start by opening a protective circle and cleansing your area, altar and yourself.

Call upon your deities to aid you in your spell.

Start by lighting the incense and candles. Breathe in the scent and allow it to aid you in your intention and work.

✨ Spell: ✨

“I call upon the universe,

The Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Spirit

To bless this charm.

For whenever I wear it,

I shall endure no harm.

As I will, so mote it be.”

Hold the charm in your hand as you say this spell, envisioning a white protective light infusing in to the charm. Seal the spell with a kiss.

If you’re doing this spell for someone else, replace the bold ‘I’ with their name.

🖤

For the second Protection spell for your Familiar or Pet Friend, you will need some sort of charm as well, I used a collar for my pup Finny. You can use all the same candles, incense and crystals.

🔮 Once again, cast your circle and call upon your Deities.

✨ Spell: ✨

“I call upon the ancient ones,

Sun, moon and stars

I ask thee

To protect & guard Finny

From evil and harm and ill weeds,

I ask for you to bless this collar

From this day forth,

So mote it be.”

Hold the collar (charm) in your hand as you say this spell, envisioning a white protective light infusing in to the charm. Seal the spell with a kiss.

Replace the bold words; ‘Finny’ and ‘Collar’ with your familiar or pets name, and the charm you are using.

Don’t forget to close your circle, giving thanks to your deities!

Blessed Be!

🐉Types Of Dragons🐉

🐉 Like dogs and cats, not every dragon is exactly the same. Different types of dragons are determined by the number of limbs they have or the other creatures they resemble.

1. Amphitere

🐉 These dragons are a hybrid, part snake and part bird. They have the body of a serpent from their head to their tail, and their wings (similar to bat wings) sprout from their neck. Depending on the depiction, they might have forelimbs, but they never have any hind limbs.

2. Drake

🐉 In Middle English, Drake actually means dragon. This type has four limbs. They have low slung bodies with their bellies skimming the ground. They look similar to lizards, but are much larger.

3. Hydra

🐉 These dragons are water serpents with multiple heads. Every time one is chopped off, another will grow back in its place. Sometimes, these dragons also have additional tails, wings, or arms.

4. Eastern
