These herbs were collected from my on campus community garden. I found this fucking awesome branch and screwed some picture hanging hooks onto the back. Simply used some twine to hang them. After a few weeks they were completely dry and I plucked, chopped, and ground them up appropriately and placed them in some awesome jars I found. The book I referenced is “Cunningham’s Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs”. It’s quite comprehensive and includes magical properties along with some interesting history on the plants and some tid bits on different utilization.
“Becoming a witch is an awakening, a remembering, an initiation. It’s a chant to ‘come home, come home, come home’, because even when you feel like you’re lost, you’re not.”

Organizing a Grimoire
🌹~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~🌹
🍁This isn’t needed, if you prefer the write as you go method that’s fine.
🍁For those of us who prefer to have it organized a table of contents is a must.
🍁Try and plan what your going to write down when. If it helps write down in a notebook or in your book of shadows every idea you can think of putting in your grimoire and number them.
🍁It’s ok if it’s not ‘perfect’ chances are this is your first grimoire so not only is ok its natural to make a few mistakes here and there
🍁Write in pencil if you don’t like crossing out mistakes or using tipex
🍁The key thing to remember is that it doesn’t need to look ‘Tumblr perfect’ as long as you understand it

Books of manifestation or how to manifest your dreams.
Sound too good to be true? I thought so too not too long ago..
However, as I’ve gotten older and looked into the theory a little more, I started to realise just how real it is.
The power of putting positive energy out in the universe is no joke! And learning how to do this is so much easier than you think.
You can learn how to do this today!
Think of yourself back as a child, where everything was possible, your imagination became reality and the word “no” was unheard of. As we creep into adult life we automatically put limitations on the things we want or need.
There are ways to getting back to feeling like your dreams can come true and where anything is possible. But what happens if you’re impatient like me and want what you want now!
Start implementing and applying these to your daily life now and see instant results..
1. Wake up with gratitude
The feeling of being grateful is one of the most important things in attracting what you want. It creates a feeling of you having enough, a feeling of abundance and this is the magic behind manifestation.
Being grateful has been proven to be great for your psychological and mental health. It removes toxic emotions such as negativity, resentment and lack, replacing them with happiness, fulfilment and positivity.
I wake up each morning, and feed my brain with positive energy & gratitude. Make a mental note of everything you are grateful for, even if you don’t have it yet.
There are ALWAYS things in your life you can be grateful for, no matter how bad you think they are.
Be grateful for the things you have & are about to receive.
You may wonder how you can be grateful for something that doesn’t yet exist, but the fact that you have set them as your intentions it DOES exist.
Look around you, everything you see once started as a thought or belief, and now has been manifested into reality.
Not a lot of people talk about waking up and being grateful, but I believe it is essential in manifesting the things you want. Make it a habit.
2. Calm your mind
Having a clear, calm mind is just as important as showing gratitude. The mental noise we face everyday can prove a huge obstacle when it comes to manifesting the things we want.
Chances are if you’re not seeing your manifestations materialize, something is blocking you from consciously manifesting what you want—something clogging the flow of positive energy.
Doubt, fear and desperation are common blockages and they must be eliminated. Otherwise these negative thoughts will manifest into reality.
Clear your mind of all the negativity and practice meditation as a form of refocusing. Meditating with gratitude and positive affirmations each morning will help you to step back and refocus, allowing the universe to bring you abundance in bucket loads.
I suffer severely with an overactive mind, especially just before bed. It really helps for me to listen to some music with no words, this proves to be my best sidekick.
Ask yourself, “What limiting belief holds me back from believing I am worthy of my dreams?”
Whether it’s mediation, positive & calming music or going for a walk. Take a long breath through your nose and breathe it out through your mouth.
If you’re not used to these, it will take time and hard work, but trust that you will see the difference.
3. Write down your intentions
Think about every area of your life and write out exactly what you want. Picture the life of your dreams with no limitations. Go back to being a child for a moment and pretend that you have no limiting beliefs.
Instead of using language like ” I would like”, speak as if it’s something you already have, even if you don’t. An example of this would be to say “It’s December 2019 and I have $5,000 in my account”. The reason for this is because by saying ” I would like”, this already introduces the feeling of LACK in your thoughts.
Remember, in the previous step we have already eliminated the limitations and reasons why you can’t have what you want. This step is all about turning the negative thoughts about our dreams into positive intentions about our reality.
4. Visualize your new reality
Play with the belief that what you want is already waiting for you.
Picture yourself in your new reality. What does it look like? How does it make you feel? The more you visualize your intentions, the more these intentions will turn into manifestations.
You attract into your life who you are and not what you want. In other words, you need to become your intentions.
Rain positivity into your life and learn ways to feel good ALWAYS. The better you feel, the closer to your dreams you’ll be.
The reason you want the things you want, is because you believe they will make you feel good. So switch it up and start feeling good first, and your dreams will soon follow.
5. Practice daily affirmations
Now that you have written down your intentions and visualized them, you need to practice daily affirmations which will help you manifest your intentions into reality.
These statements need to become part of your daily routine. Read them every morning when you wake up and repeat them just before bed.
If you write your goals down, but don’t look at them, you won’t always think about them and are less likely to move towards them. It’s really crazy (and amazing) to see the things in your goal statement come true, but they really do start happening!!!
Think about this simply; When you are regularly visualizing and allowing these statements to enter your mind, you will automatically do the things that help you reach those dreams.
6. Take action
I would love to tell you visualize your dreams is enough to get you there. It isn’t the case.
Now you’re at the stage where you MUST take the steps necessary to positive manifestation beyond your wildest dreams. It isn’t too good to be true.
Each day, start to make a plan of the things you can do to bring you closer to your intentions. Act as if you would do if you already had your desires. Positive affirmations and beliefs are the key here. You MUST be a vibrational match to the thing you are trying to manifest.
The brain doesn’t know imagination from reality, so you need to trick into thinking it already has those things and soon you will have
7. Let it go and let it be…
Take note this is powerful:
You are doing everything you can in your daily life, which will turn your intentions into manifestations. Live and act as if you have already received what it is that you are looking for.
Trust that the universe is constantly bringing you what you want and need. Don’t ask counterintuitive questions such as “why haven’t I received what I been asking for?”.
Be completely open to receiving the abundance that the universe starts bringing your way. Act on every “opportunity” that comes your way without hesistation. They WILL present themselves.
After taking these steps you will begin to see, that when you are filled with positive energy, there is nothing you are missing. There is nothing you are lacking. There is no pain or suffering that anyone or anything can truly cause you permanently. The truth is, when you need nothing, you attract everything. So let it be…
This is exactly what you need
Remember:
You already have everything you could ever want or need
You are abundant and fulfilled
Money/Love/Health is an energy and it is EVERYWHERE!
You have more than enough
We are all energetic beings; the more positive energy flows through us, the more positive energy that will enter our lives
You are the ONLY creator of your reality
Your imagination and thoughts are extremely powerful
The positive vibrations you send out will return to you in abundance
You have everything you need to attract abundance into your life. Trust me. Now go out and get it!

Cheap Witches: Thrift Stores!
I have always loved thrift stores. When my family was poor-ish back in the day, I would often get one shopping trip a year for clothes at the thrift store and I would get all my halloween costume pieces there. Maybe it’s the nostalgia, maybe it’s that I myself am now poor-ish but either way I think we can all appreciate a good deal regardless. Especially on staple pieces that can be used for your practice. Now ON TO THE FINDS!
Books
Sometimes it takes a little luck but I’ve found a couple great useful books for 3$ or less each along the shelves of books in my local Value Village. The crystal healing ones I found were a huge deal to me back in the day when I was but a baby witch and they were dirt cheap.
Candle supplies
Every witch needs something to burn candles on/in. Now I’m not saying it needs to be fancy, for a long time I used a dollar store plate (psa, do not burn candles on surfaces you care about because scraping wax off things is not a delicate process) but picking up some candle holders for less than 2$ is going to help keep candles from falling over and lighting your house on fire. You can also find some wicked pretty ones.
Curtains/Tablecloths/Pillowcases
Yes, I buy thrift store curtains. As I mentioned in my previous post in this series, many things may require scrap fabric and although you can get the dollar store scarves I prefer using old curtains or tablecloths from the thrift store. Not only will you be getting WAY more fabric but it doesn’t cost too much more than the dollar store.
String and/or Ribbon
Some of my spells and my favorite hex require some kind of yarn/string/thread. If your local thrift establishment of choice has any kind of craft section, no matter how big, you are in business. Bags of embroidery thread, spools of twine or other string and skeins of yarn are all SUPER cheap and often great quality. (Note: I mean the yarn, the other two options are pretty standard) Sometimes I can even find ribbon spools but those are interchangeable with plain old coloured string.
Picture Frames
Are you setting up your altar? Do you wish you had something nice to put the picture of your deity(ies) in? Look no further than the thrift store for GORGEOUS frames of literally every size imaginable.
Vases
You actually can not find nicer vases for cheaper than a thrift store. I don’t know what else you’d use them for, crystals maybe? Dried flowers waiting to be used? Candles? Either way, if you need one, there are virtually none cheaper or easier to find. Same goes for crystal or glass bowls. Besides, if you kill plants like yours truly, having flowers that are guaranteed to die is a nice way to enjoy plants without having to remember to water them.
JARS
That alone should be enough but I do want to chuck in one piece of advice. Do not forget about the cup aisle! I got a sweet glass skull that screws closed with your standard mason jar lid because it was donated with one of those lids with a hole and a straw. Hence it was a “cup” but NOT ANYMORE! It holds my dead flowers. I named him Herman.
As always, feel free to send me a message if you’d like/have more questions. Hopefully soon I’ll make a trip to IKEA for the next post in this series! If there’s something you’d like me to cover, let me know.
Much love ~ ♥
I mean, duh. Obviously. Also, I dunno about the US, but around here, thrift stores always have a bazillion of neckties, many of them made from real silk, sold very cheaply because they’re out of style or have weird patterns or are torn here and there. They’re perfect to repurpose as witch bags that can hold really, really fine powders in. Plus, y'know, silk.
GOOD LUCK SPELLS FOR ALL!
For all of you witches in need of a bit of supernatural aid, I’ve gathered a good few of good luck spells.
You can find them all here on my main blog, because I’m awesome like that.
