witchcraft in a nutshell:

An apartment house in #Bedford_Park, #the_Bronx.

Over Christmas (bit late, I know) I visited Druid’s Temple. Situated in North Yorkshire within the Swinton Estate there is some debate over the date of the structure. It has been suggested that the folly dates from 1820, but records suggest an earlier build dating between 1750 and 1803.

Witch Crafts: Witch Ball

Witch balls have been a part of pagan tradition for many years. Their purpose is to protect the home and its inhabitants from evil and harm. Traditionally, you made a witch ball every year to seal fortune and protection for the next twelve months. You can hang this ornament in a window, over a doorway, in a bedroom or even outdoors; wherever you feel it would serve its purpose the best. It would look lovely as a Christmas or Yule decoration as well!

You can purchase empty ornaments and bottles from craft stores, or re-use old light bulbs for this! Fill it with the following:

Sprigs of Lavender to encourage a calm, peaceful environment

Chamomile Flowers to aid in relieving anxiety

Yarrow, Roses and Rose Quartz crystals to encourage self-love and love in relationships

Jasmine Flowers to attract wealth and sweet dreams

Cinnamon to draw happiness and comfort

You could also include:

A seashell and a shark tooth to incorporate the magic of the sea

Curly pods (because they are so cute!)

Cloves to attract good luck and prosperity

Anise wards off the evil eye

Other tiny crystals for added energy

A bay leaf for protection

I fucking love Gothic architecture so much. Gross demons and judgy saints hunching everywhere. Pointed arches and carved foliage. Fucking gargoyles and shit. Setting up the guttering so that the devil can vomit water on you. High cross-rib vaulting. This weird blend of the organic and the demonic in stone. All those oppressive geometrical patterns, the spikes and thorns, the monotony of it all, the way it’s such a precise miracle of engineering meant to raise you up to the glory of God but it’s so heavy and earthy that it drags you to hell simultaneously. It’s the perfect blend of the beautiful and the ghastly, the heavenly and the demonic, glorifying God with its high spires and condemning man with its enclosed vaults and I can never get enough of it.

Past Life Dream Spell

What you will need: A polished amethyst stone

What to do: At bedtime when you are not too tired. Sit on your bed, hold the amethyst to your 3rd eye and say:

“ I call upon the power of perfect memory to enable me to see a past life I’ve lived; It shall be revealed to me in my dreams, I should see only what I should see. So mote it be.”

Place the stone under your pillow and go to sleep. When you wake up record any images you recall. Repeat this spell over many nights.
