Liminal Spaces:

Places where the veil is thin due to reality feeling distorted. These are usually spaces of transitional energy and are excellent for meditation, divination, astral work, etc.

Examples of Liminal Spaces:

the beach at night

any time after midnight but before sunrise

abandoned places

cemeteries

tunnels

underneath bridges

convenience stores after midnight

empty parking lots at night

airport terminals

waiting rooms

laundromats

empty classrooms/schools

*Reminder*: if you choose to visit any of these places please remember to make your safety your top priority. Liminal spaces are meant to feel like reality is distorted, but if you have any actual bad feelings or fears about a place, listen to them.

Anyone Can Talk To The Dead

I'm tired of this notion that only mediums/psychics/witches can talk to the dead because it's just not true. Everyone and anyone can talk to the dead, and it's healthier to do it yourself than to do it with some stranger (if you don't want to do it alone, I suggest being with a friend, family member, or therapist) due to how personal it is.

Talking to the dead is exactly what it sounds like. It's talking. It's not exactly a conversation, though, and it doesn't have to be. Talking to the dead is to make you feel better, not the dead person. And that's okay. You don't need to get responses from the dead in order for this to be beneficial to you, I'd wager that it's actually better for you in the long run to not get responses (so you can learn to deal with the finality of death better).

So, how do you talk to the dead?

Go somewhere calm and private. It could be at an altar, at the grave of your loved one, in nature, or in your bedroom.

Think about your loved one, remember them, think of their appearance, their personality, etc.

Talk. Say everything that you have been wanting to say to them. Tell them you miss them. Tell them you're feelings. Tell them all the stuff you wish they saw. Tell them anything. Allow yourself to grieve for them.

After you're done talking, thank them for listening. Tell them that you love them (if you were that close), and take a few deep breaths. If you cried, or experienced intense emotions, take this time to help calm yourself down.

Anyone can do this, and I encourage everyone who wants to talk with their deceased loved ones to do this.

Benefits of talking to the dead personally rather than through someone else:

You are able to confront death head on, this is a skill that everyone needs and it's one of the hardest ones to learn. If you don't feel like you can do this without a therapist, that is completely valid.

You can feel safe to talk about extremely personal things.

You get to be the one communicating directly with your loved one, this is a far more personal experience.

You can get closure with their passing, something that only you can find for yourself.

This can help you with growing your spirituality as well (another very personal experience).

If you get a sign, you will know it was a real sign, not someone trying to scam you (there are many scammers in the spiritual community, unfortunately).

I hope this maybe helps someone who wants to reach out to their deceased loved ones. You have more power than you think, you don't need to be anything in order to do this. You don't need to practice anything, research anything, belong to a certain religion, or anything in order to do this.

Sweet Things Honey Spell

This is spell designed to attract pleasant and/or favorable things to a desired target. They can be material or metaphysical things, favorable situations or opportunities, positive energies or moods—whatever you’d consider to be pleasant or favorable to have.

Ingredients:

Honey

Nutmeg or Cinnamon

Anise, Cardamom, Basil, or Dill*

Garnet, Emerald, or Rose Quartz (Optional; I just find this can give it an oomph)

Taglock (can be DNA, a photo or name paper, a sigil, etc.)

Spell Release/Send Off Tools**

Steps:

Gather and cleanse/bless/charge your ingredients and prepare whatever you need to release your spell**

Prepare your space however you like (cast a circle, pray, meditate, etc.)

If you’re using a crystal, put it somewhere near you (in your pocket, around your neck, etc.) It’ll serve as a focus and help guide the spell.

Lay your prepared taglock in front of you.

Sprinkle your chosen herbs onto the taglock, visualizing the things you want to attract.

Now, drizzle your honey all over your herbs and taglock, visualizing those things “sticking to” the recipient.

Release/send off your spell however works best for you**

When you’re done you can dispose of your components however you like. I recommend burial if they’re all eco-friendly and you have the space.

* I recommend choosing only one or two of these. Too many ingredients can muddle your work.

** There are loads of ways to release/send off a spell. Burning down a dedicated candle, breaking your circle, dedicated NSFW activity, etc. Whatever tools you need for your send off should be prepared and laid aside at the beginning of your spell.

DAILY MAGICKAL CORRESPONDENCES

SUNDAY: Sunday corresponds to the sun, our closest star. This day is for success, wealth, and fame. Sundays are for personal achievements of any kind such as working toward a promotion at your job, seeking fame and wealth, or being acknowledged for a job well done. Keywords: Sunday, Sun, success/wealth.

MONDAY: This day of the week is dedicated to the moon and all of her magick and mystery. Mondays are for women’s mysteries, goddess magick, illusion, glamoury, prophetic dreaming, emotions, safe travel, and fertility. Keywords: Monday, moon, goddess/glamoury.

TUESDAY: Tuesday is a Mars day, and just like the god of war, this is the time to tap into magick that calls for victory, strength, and courage, or if you are facing a challenge of any kind. This day of the week is for rebels and warriors. Keywords: Tuesday, Mars, strength/courage.

WEDNESDAY: Wednesdays are wild and wacky days. They are for communication, change, cunning, and the arts. This is a Mercury day, and just like its patron god, this day is full of contradictions, change, good luck, and excitement. Keywords: Wednesday, Mercury, change/communication.

THURSDAY: Thursday is a Jupiter day. This is the day of the week for prosperity, abundance, and good health. Thursday is “Thor’s day.” This Norse god gave the day his name and many of his attributes, including strength and abundance. Keywords: Thursday, Jupiter, prosperity/health.

FRIDAY: Friday belongs to Venus, both the planet and its namesake Roman goddess of love. This day is sacred to many other god/desses of love such as the Norse goddess who gave the day its name, Freya. This day of the week is for magickal topics such as love in all of its forms, birth, fertility, beauty, and romance. Keywords: Friday, Venus, love/romance.

SATURDAY: This day of the week got its name from the god of karma and time, Saturn. Traditionally Saturdays are great days for protection or banishing a negative situation, and they are generally a good time to clean up any magickal messes that you have been ignoring. Keywords: Saturday, Saturn, protection/banishing.

Dream Interpretation: Weather

What is Dream Interpretation?

It is assigning meaning to dreams, meaning using what one dreams of and the symbols, objects and events of the dream to relate them to the psychological, emotional and sometimes spiritual state of the dreamer. Some use it as a way to divine and predict the future while others use it to help assess their emotional states and subconscious thoughts they may be ignoring in waking life.

General Overview and Meaning

While dreaming the weather that occurs represents our emotional states and our state of mind. It often represents the positive and the negative of circumstances we are facing and handling. Sometimes weather will be more obvious in dreams than in other dreams, sometimes we don’t full notice it. 

Specific Dream Situations

Overall Good Weather: This varies person to person whether they consider a type of weather as “good” but in general if its weather you deem as nice, it relates to being in good standing and emotional state

Wind: It represents change and travel. You may be feeling the need to change your surroundings or to move to a new place. Gusts of winds and unceasing strong wind relates to struggles in waking life. If wind is pushing the dreamer then in waking life you are feeling controlled by another. Gentle winds indicate you are excited for something new. Wind helping the dreamer fly or move faster indicates you feel like you are well supported by others around you.

Rain: generally relates to negative emotions - sadness, disappointment, depression, etc. It may relate to the need to improve communication because you are feeling unheard or ignored by others. Light rain may relate to feeling calm or indifferent. 

Cold Weather: Often represents something in your life that you dislike or even hate. Some relate it to feeling ignored or lonely (getting the “cold shoulder”). Others say it relates to bitterness and being pessimistic (”bitter cold”). Freezing weather means you feel hostility directed at you.

Flooding from Rain/Weather Event: Negativity and uncertainty is “flooding” into your life right now. You are stressed, emotional and may feel like its all too much to deal with. Subconsciously you are in a panic.

Rainbow: seeing a rainbow in the sky or during rainfall relates to harmony and peace in one’s life. You are feeling that you have overcome a “storm” and are starting to feel much better.

Fog: A thick dense fog relates to feelings of feeling isolated, lost and confused. Thin veils of fog relates to the feelings of the supernatural, wonder and trying to find your way. You may also be trying to find a path through a problem or obstacle you have come across.

Warm Weather: It relates to normalcy in waking life - its as it is.

Hot Weather: exhaustion and the feeling of being overworked

Drought: It may literally represent a shortage you are experiencing (income, food, shelter, socialization, etc). It also can relate to distress from work or labor.

Hurricane: An enormous threat is present in your waking life and its very distressful. You may feel like you’ve lost control of your emotions or are having issues coping with grief, fear and/or depression.Linked to feelings of impending failure.

Sunshine: Positive and “sunny” mindset currently. You are feeling confirmed, energetic, happy and overall hopeful.

Snow: Often associated with purification going on in your life like overcoming obstacles and cutting out negative people. May also relate to feeling at peace over something or even yourself. A snowstorm or blizzard means you feel trapped and isolated. May also relate to a recent break up or end of friendship.

Lightning: Unexpected and sudden changes have occurred in your life recently. It may also relate to feeling the need to get something done quickly. You recently night have been “shocked” by an event in waking life. Blue lightning relates to disbelief. Green lightning relates to someone else negatively affecting your life. Red lightning represents sudden negative changes. 

Thunder: You are feeling like you are about to explode with anger and violence. Someone may have to recently yelled at you or scared you. 

Hail: you feel under pressure and ridiculed possibly you’re emotionally in pain.

Storm: There is turmoil and conflict in your waking life. May also relate to anxiety and worries. A distant storm indicates tensions are building and you’re expecting something bad as a result. Trying to shelter from a storm means you feel abandoned in a time you need help and support.

Divination

Weather has quite a varying amount of meanings when it comes to dream divination. It does change based on how experienced a person is with divination though, generally dreaming of a certain weather event may relate to said weather event happening. There are other meanings of course rather than obvious weather, some basics are listed below:

Storm/Rain: something negative is about to come, feelings of despair will soon hit

Snow: relates to many things though it can be as simple as a snow storm on its way to the need to work on a relationship before it “freezes over”

Drought: you are about to lose something or a resource

Hurricane: a threat or danger is on its way

Flooding: you are about to be overwhelmed or financially crippled by a sudden event

Windstorm: An argument with someone close to you is about to happen

Rainbow: good news, happiness and possible exciting news is on its way

💖Today, Aphrodite urges you to write a love letter to yourself!💖

I swear, I’ve felt restless all day, and feel like I should share what she’s asked of me! So, here we go: Let’s all do something nice, and wholesome!

💋Decorate it! Whether you’re writing on paper, or in your computer, add cute margins, or sketches around the paper. Make it look good for you! Use your favorite color!

💋 Say hi! Imagine you’re sending this letter to your beloved, greet yourself with nice words!

💋What is something you love/want to love about yourself? Your amazing eyes? The hair that falls like a waterfall? Be as cheesy as you want, have fun!

💋Talk about a time you enjoyed spending time by yourself, and thank yourself for your company. You made dinner last night, and it was delicious? Talk about it, tell yourself how much you enjoyed it!

💋What are some things you absolutely love? Cats, running, procrastinating, lighting eggs on fire, whatever it is, put it there! Talk about why you love it, maybe even add pictures if you’re using a note app!

💋 If you feel specially creative, and are having fun, write a small poem to yourself! It doesn’t have to be good, it can even be funny, just write anything that will make you smile!

💋Ask yourself on a date! “Hey, me, do you maybe want to go take a shower now? Yeah? 😘”

💋Focus on having fun while writing, and just write about anything that makes you happy.

Above all, remember that even if all you can manage is “Hey, self, I wish I loved you. Take care.”, Aphrodite will be absolutely proud of you. And I’ll be too! If you feel good sharing the work you made, be sure to tag me! I’m excited about reading y’all! And I for sure will be posting mine later because it sounds really fun and wholesome.

Yule ideas for the exhausted witch

After so many of you enjoyed the post about low-energy ways to celebrate Samhain, it is time to share some ideas on how to celebrate Yule without too big of an effort. 2020 was a hard year and everyone deals differently with handling the crazy stuff this year threw at us. You are valid and your faith isn’t less important or less worthy because you can not spend the energy you might want to on the celebration of the solstice. A blessed Yule to all of you!

- As an easy charm for good luck: Tie some tiny bells to a ribbon and wind it around the handle of your door. Who ever enters will be cleansed of their negative energies and the sound of bells will invite prosperity and luck inside your home.

- Treat yourself to some sweets. Doesn’t matter if self-baked or store-bought, we’re talking of all the delicious treats of the season full of cinnamon (protection, luck), vanilla (friendship, passion), cloves (beauty, love) and ginger (energy, success). Yes, please!

- Give thanks and give back. You don’t need to volunteer for days to show your gratitude. Feed some birds, donate a bit to your local shelter if you have the money, small gestures matter!

- Who needs a big Yule tree? Get yourself some twigs (please don’t just break them off) from an evergreen and place them on your windowsill or inside a pretty vase. 

- Solstices are turning points, times of change. Make a list (written or mental) and remember all the things you are grateful for that happened this year. Also note things that you want the new cycle to bring to your life. Keep the list close during the time of the solstice and burn/bury them at the end of The Twelve Nights.

- No energy to decorate your altar? Decorate yourself. Wear green, red, gold or silver colors and jewelry with rubies, garnet, jade, agate or rose quartz.

Have a blessed Yule and feel free to reblog and add to the list!

Aphrodite Sex Life Hyperboost Spell

This spell is intended to give your sex life a temporary boost, perfect for getting out of a slump or making a special night even more passionate. You can do the spell with or without calling on Aphrodite to help you, but in my experience she’s great at helping out if you’re open to it.

So here’s what you need: A red rose, hung and dried A taper candle, black white or red (red if you’re looking for pure passion, white for innocence in love, and black for strength and risk) A dish for burning Disk charcoal and sand (optional but useful)

If you’re going to be calling on Aphrodite: A pink birthday sized candle Prayer (which can be as formal as you’d like) Offering and dish

Open the ritual how you normally would, with your Rose and burning materials on hand. You’re either going to burn the rose by holding it over a candle or placing it on a charcoal disk. Open the ritual and begin burning. As you burn the rose, focus your intentions on what you want to happen with with the boost to your sex life. When the rose is burned all the way, grind the ashes and scatter them outside, saving just a bit of them to wear on your person, or spread around your bed frame. If you’re calling on Aphrodite for this spell, then while the Rose and candle burn, light your small pink candle and pour out your offering. Add your prayer to Aphrodite along with your intentions for the spell and there you go

Some examples of offerings are fresh rose petals, wine, honey, tea, chocolate, or even something like conversation hearts or seashells

This spell is pretty straight forward and flexible, but in my experience it works like lighting both for bringing opportunities for new partners and spicing up existing relationship. I wanted to share it because I’ve had a 100% success rate with it, so here you go lovelies, I wish you lots of love and a beautiful day. 💖

How to Communicate with Aphrodite

Aphrodite loves to talk, so don’t be afraid of contacting her! She will be pleased to hear from you. And, in my experience, Aphrodite is the most creative goddess when it comes to replying ♡

Start meditating

Get comfortable. Close your eyes. Take a deep breath. Feel the energy surrounding you. Clear your mind from any bad thoughts. You are safe. You are powerful. You are connected to this universe and to what lies beyond it.

Tune in

Visualize Aphrodite. The smell of her hair, the intricate pattern of her clothes. The soft glow of her golden crown. Let the image of her sweet smile warm your heart. Her aura begins to embrace you now. She is close. She is listening.

Then…

Decide how you are going to do it! Based on your personality and on your relationship with Aphrodite, you can choose the best communication method for you two. Below I leave a few suggestions ♡

Start talking!

Be as loud or as quiet as you feel like it! You can speak to her in anyway you want. Some like to keep it formal, while others prefer to talk to the goddess as they would to a friend. 

There is no wrong way to do it, just make sure to always be respectful towards her. 

Write her!

You might feel like adressing her through a letter. You can write out your heart’s content and then seal the paper with a kiss, putting your own energy into it. 

Place this letter on your altar and leave it there until Aphrodite replies, or burn it carefully, sending your message to the skies. If you’ve asked the goddess something specific, definitely keep an eye out for signs.

Try some sort of divination!

If you are related to these kinds of practices and currently struggling with possibilities, you might feel like seeking for Aphrodite’s guidance in special tarot readings, rune castings, crystal gazings and so on.

Maybe go to sleep!

If after meditating and tuning in with Aphrodite’s energy you feel this sudden urge to sleep, don’t fight it. The goddess might be wanting to reply you in your dreams. Try keeping a tab on them during such period and mind the recurrent subjects.
