1 black tea bag (I am fond of lapsang souchong when I have it because the smokiness is perfect. But use whatever works best for you!)
Cinnamon chips
Ginger root
Orange peel
Adjust the proportions to suit your taste. I tend to prefer a little more orange peel, but my aunt always preferred a more cinnamon-forward note.
As the tea steeps for 5 minutes, watch the steam for a moment. Say, "Heat to the herb, life to the bone. I'm taking back control, I'm taking back the throne."
Adding honey and milk to your tastes and sip your tea, visualizing pulling yourself out of your rut and breaking through obstacles.
Doing a protection spell (left) and a removing type of spell (right) I didn't feel comfortable with two candles on one plate in case fire soooo two plates it is.
tiny money jars worked immediately that it scared me :')
ingredients
bay leaf (abundance)
white rice grains (prosperity)
salt (cleansing, protection)
thyme (purification, protection)
moonstone (manifestation)
white quartz (amplifier, cleansing, protection)
i sealed the top off with a green paper and used green ink to write my sigil (amplification), then tied it off. all the ingredients used are just things lying around the house. one of them is placed on my table where i work, and the other is something i can bring around.
i used a lot of protection symbols because i realized that there are so many ways to earn money if you trade off your peace, energy, and integrity. i could be hired into a good-paying job that takes advantage of me, come across opportunities to steal from others, or get a high-paying client that disrespects me – those are things i didn't want to happen.
cleansing motifs are to clear up the factors that prevent the spell from working as you'd like.
supporting spells. put a bayleaf with a fehu rune written on it in places where you typically put your money in (e.g., wallet, coin purse, coin bank).
testimony. roughly 3 hours later, i slept and woke in the middle of the night to a text from someone who ordered from my small business, who paid immediately :') a few days later, my aunt deposited me some money for allowance about the same amount (thank you, auntie). customers in my business increased but also not as stressful for me. more monetary opportunities came my way, though i did not say "yes" to most of them.
feel free to follow this spell or add your own twist to it ♡
The Christianization of Europe and the witch hunts are two completely separate things.
The witch hunts took place in the early modern period, well after Europe was Christianized.
The witch hunts were driven by conspiracy theories. It's literally a predecessor of QAnon.
Many conspiracy theories of the witch hunts were repurposed antisemitic conspiracy theories. (For example, blood libel and Satan worship.)
Lots of Christians practiced folk magic. They didn't usually call themselves witches.
Witchcraft was associated with polytheistic religions by Christians. Polytheists didn't call themselves witches. Whatever they were doing, they had their own words for it.
Modern witchcraft is a modern construct. It is not a revival of a genuine pre-Christian tradition of any kind.
Modern witchcraft cannot be "colonized" because it's literally a modern creation made by white people. However, modern witches are capable of doing colonialism, such as when they promote pseudohistory about other cultures.
I’ve built up a high tolerance to funny over the years. This is genuinely one of the few times I’ve ever laughed so hard I’ve started crying. I trust you, Sesamarot. Don't even believe in divination this is just the beauty of RNG.
.✦ ݁˖ you probably heard before that whenever you feel like you wanna lock in or focus, or even when you’re overwhelmed by your surroundings, you need to tie your hair to lock your energy!, and if you feel insecure or anxious, let your hair out for protection.
All this leads to the fact that hair = protection, but have you ever wondered why?.
.✦ ݁˖ Saturn rules the hair surprise not so surprise, which also rules protection, and the more you let it grow the more protection you have.. on the other hand saturn traditionally also rules endings, that’s why stereotypically after going through a breakup (you end up cutting your hair) this transition, is like an ending and a beginning at the same time.
.✦ ݁˖ which brings me to the point that if you wanna transition into something new or feel refreshed, cut something (mars and Aries rules beginnings also, cutting in general, mars rules cutting instruments, scissors, knives etc..).
.✦ ݁˖ lastly I also find it very poetic that saturn rules ink, and ink is something that is lasting and can’t get erased easily.
So hi! this will be a new series where i post some astrology symbolisms that caught my attention <3.
"I would love to use my embroidery/cross-stitch/needlework in witchcraft more, but I like working with taglocks and other components that ruin the piece if I sew them into it." Attach your taglocks, snakeskin, nails, whatever to the back of your fabric. The needle is still piercing or securing them the same amount of times and the magic is still bound to them. They don't need to be visible to be incorporated.
