A warm brew for colds and flu

So this is a recipe and a spell for when you’re feeling under the weather; particularly colds . Ultimately it’s a souped up version of Hot Honey and lemon.

[quick disclaimer; this doesn’t prevent anything it simply helps aliviate symptoms and cheers your spirit]

So here we go;

Into a pot add to tap water ;

Slice/chunks of fresh ginger

Lemon juice ( preferably fresh)

A handful of cardamom pods

Honey and Syrup ( as natural and as local as you can get)

A few star anise

A couple of whole cloves

A pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg

You could also add some oranges or apple

And then bring to the boil, using a pan lid to trap in as much moisture as possible.

Pour, Strain and cool slightly before drinking.

I often batch make this so I have a jug in the fridge to heat up when ever ( I leave the additives in this jug before I heat it )

Aphrodite is the sky- She’s the daughter of Ouranos, the primordial god of the sky, and she’s referred to as ‘Aphrodite Ourania’ meaning ‘The heavenly’

Aphrodite is the sea- Before coming to the shores of Cyprus she resided in depths of the ocean, her love story with Nerites takes place in her time living underwater. She’s also called ‘Anadyomene’ which means ‘The Goddess rising out of the sea’

Aphrodite is the earth- When she walks, flowers spring up from under her feet. She created the myrtle and red roses. She was worshipped in Cnossus as ‘Aphrodite Antheia’ which means ‘The blooming’ or ‘The friend of flowers’ and the most common offering to Aphrodite was flowers

Here’s a fragment of the Homeric Hymn to Aphrodite: “Muse, tell me the deeds of golden Cyprian Aphrodite, who stirs up sweet passion in the gods and subdues the tribes of mortal men and birds that fly in air and all the many creatures that the dry land rears, and all the sea”

Egg cleanse. How to & their meaning!

Have you heard about egg cleanses? If you believe evil or someone is out to get you, this is a sure way to tell.

Start by running your egg under water and setting your intention. Be specific with your intent.

Burn an incense or some herbs (frankincense :)) and let your egg run through the smoke.

Rub your egg on your body from your head to your toes. Focus on the egg absorbing the negative energy in your body.

Crack the egg into a glass of water.

Next, it's time to read your results.

Here are the meanings of an egg cleanse:

Bubble rising - Negativity

Nails/Needles shapes - someone does not want you to succeed, you have an enemy

White halos around the yolk - making decisions too quickly

Clouds/swirls in yolk - people want you to fail

Bubbles around the yolk - good spirits are watching over you

Kitchen Witch Cold Soothing Recipes - Honey Fermentation

As I find myself feeling the cold symptoms progressed by my seasonal allergies (coughing, sore throat), I figured I would share two recipes I use that help speed up the recovery process and soothe the unsavoury symptoms.

Honey Fermented Garlic

- 1 head of garlic

- raw, unfiltered, unpasteurised honey

- mason jar / jar with easily removed lid (glass!!)

Start out by peeling all of the cloves in the head of garlic, then gently bruising and busting them open with the flat side of a knife or the back of a pestle. Let them rest for around 5 minutes. Add to your jar, and add enough honey to just cover them.

As the honey and garlic sit, a fermentation will start and you will notice small bubbles forming, pressure in your jar, and that the honey becomes very very thin (as opposed to the natural thick viscosity). Flip and “bother” your jar every day and release pressure build up. I generally just keep a jar of fermenting garlic honey always, just adding more honey and garlic as I get low.

Both honey and garlic have incredible natural medicinal properties. Garlic is antibiotic in nature and has been used for numerous generations in medicine. Sulfurus compounds, one of which being allicin, are produced when the cloves are crushed or chopped - these are linked to biological well being and combatting sickness. Amongst other benefits, such as good cholesterol health and lowering your blood pressure naturally, garlic is just overall very good for you. Honey as well is antibiotic in nature, and offers a sweet soothing feeling to any raw throat.

Raw garlic on its own is very pungent and relatively unbearable to eat completely raw. Fermented garlic in honey completely loses its bite and gains a sweetness, making it a lot more bearable to consume. Either eat the garlic cloves directly or consume a tablespoon of the honey when your throat starts feeling sore and continue throughout your cold.

Honey Fermented Ginger

- one medium/large ginger root, peeled and cut into chunks

- raw, unfiltered, unpasteurised honey

- mason jar / jar with lid that is easily removed (glass!!)

Start by peeling and cutting the ginger into chunks before crushing it with the back end of a pestle to bruise and break up. Put into your jar and cover with enough honey to cover it. Follow the same agitation steps as previously noted in the honey fermented ginger recipe.

This mixture will also get very thin, exhibit bubbles, and produce considerable pressure while fermenting as ginger is very active. I generally also just keep a jar of this mixture going year round, adding more as necessary.

Ginger is not only good for colds - it has anti inflammatory properties (headaches, muscle soreness, arthritis, etc) and aids in nausea treatment, as well as promoting good heart and circulatory system health.

Ginger is a little easier to consume raw, but still has a considerable bite - fermenting in honey mellows the strong flavour and softens it a touch, enough to be eaten out of the jar. I like adding a tablespoon or two of the ginger honey to my hot tea (or just mixing it into boiling water and consuming that) as it helps soothe the throat. Follow the same suggestions for consumption as the honey fermented garlic, or get creative with your consumption.

Both of these recipes are are really easy, and I find they help considerably in bringing me back to my full healthy glory.

Blessed be my witch friends ✨

Building a Magical Home

One of my favorite quotes about the magic of homemaking comes from Cory Hutcheson, host of the New World Witchery podcast. He says, “Home is a transformational act. It is the thing you do to turn a space into a space… that is full of ritual and significance and meaning. So there is sort of this ongoing relationship you have with the space that makes it a home.”

The act of creating a home, of making a space your own, is inherently magical. But if you want to make your space feel a little more witchy, here are some ideas to get you started.

Charms and Talismans

Making your own magical objects can be a powerful way to bring magic into your space. The best thing about making your own charms is that you can make them look however you want, so it’s easy to disguise them as ordinary household objects. You can make a charm for any intention by combining objects based on their magical correspondences.

I’ve talked about protective charms in previous posts, so I’m not gonna spend a lot of time on it here. The simplest protective charm is keeping a large piece of iron under your bed to keep away nightmares, evil spirits, and negative energy. You could also make your own protection charm, like a witch bottle.

You can create a “happy home” charm to bring peace, harmony, and happiness into your home. This charm could include herbs like basil, rosemary, lavender, peppermint, and/or bay leaves, as well as other items that you associate with peace and good fortune, like lucky coins, crystals, or black cat fur. Write your desires for a harmonious and happy home on a piece of paper, fold it up, and add it to the charm. You could store these items in a green bag, bury them in your backyard (in this case, make sure you’re only using biodegradable plant matter — leave out the coins and crystals), or place it inside a household object like a lamp or an end table.

If you suffer from insomnia or other sleep issues, try making a dream charm to help you sleep well and have sweet dreams. To make a simple dream charm, fill a blue or purple bag with lavender, chamomile, peppermint, and any other objects that you associate with peace, restfulness, and sleep. If you want to have lucid dreams or receive psychic messages in your dreams, include a bit of mugwort. Place the charm in your pillow or under your mattress. (I personally swear by this one, as it’s helped a lot with my insomnia.)

Charms are great for homemaking magic because you’re actually creating a magical object, which can then become a permanent fixture of the space.

Magical Decor

You can use magical items to decorate your home to bring certain qualities into that space.

Hanging or displaying a broom is said to bring good fortune, protection from evil, and good hospitality. Cauldrons are used to represent the Goddess, rebirth, and raw potential. Horseshoes hung above door frames bring safety and luck to all who cross under them, and keep unwanted guests away. If you can get them legally and ethically, animal bones, teeth, claws, and feathers can represent the spirit and energy of that animal. You can also put up images of spiritual and occult symbols — I have an image of the Sun tarot card hanging in my bedroom to promote positivity and growth.

If you need to be a little more subtle with your witchy decorations, working with the magic of color is a great way to do that. Gathering a lot of items of a single color in one room changes the energy of that room. Here’s a quick guide to give you some ideas:

Yellow is associated with divination, mental clarity, the element of air, success, communication, and inspiration.

Purple is associated with divine power, spiritual awareness, mystery, astral travel, magic, and authority.

Blue is associated with healing, psychic abilities, the element of water, peace, truth, and patience.

Red is associated with protection, the fire element, sex, power, vitality, and love.

Orange is associated with ambition, creativity, breaking through blockages, and career success.

Pink is associated with romantic love, friendship, self love, compassion, and emotional well-being.

Green is associated with nature, herbalism, the earth element, money, wealth, prosperity, and luck.

Brown is associated with grounding, animal magic, stability, and balance.

White is associated with purification, cleansing, the full moon, new beginnings, healing, and spiritual growth.

Black is associated with protection, truth, outer space, banishing, and transition.

Decorating your home with colors that are meaningful to you can create a powerful magical space. You may also have your own color associations (for example, yellow is a very “happy” color for me), so feel free to incorporate those into your decor as well!

Growing Magical Houseplants

Most witches feel a very deep connection to nature and draw power from the natural world, but we can’t all live in a cottage in the heart of the forest. Even if you live in a tiny apartment in the city, you can still bring nature into your space by keeping houseplants. Many popular houseplants have magical uses, and many popular magic herbs can be grown inside. Here are a few to get you started.

Aloe. This is one of my favorite plants. Aloe brings luck and protection, especially protection on an energetic/spiritual level. I like to keep aloe in my bedroom to protect me while I sleep, as well as to bring luck and inspiration while I’m working at my desk.

Basil. Basil is very popular in money spells, and will attract prosperity and luck to your home. However, it also has protective properties — both spiritual protection and protection from bugs, since basil is a natural insect repellent! Basil can also be used in love spells, and is just generally a good plant to have around for good vibes.

African Violet. This flowering plant attracts positive spiritual energy into your space. It has associations with the moon and the water element, and is very good for promoting spirituality and psychic power.

Rosemary. Rosemary is one of those herbs that every witch should have on hand. It’s so darn versatile, it can be used as a substitute for virtually any other herb, and can be used for almost any intention. Some of the most common magical associations for rosemary include: cleansing, purification, protection, healing, mental activity, and enhancing memory. According to author Deborah J. Martin, there’s an old English saying that, “Where rosemary grows, the woman rules the house.” Like basil, rosemary is a natural insect repellent.

Lavender. Lavender brings peace, love, and gentleness, which makes it a perfect addition to any home. It can be used in spells for cleansing and purification, enhancing psychic abilities, and stress relief. Lavender is also a powerful addition to love spells. Keeping lavender in the bedroom can aid in restful sleep, while lavender in the kitchen will bring harmony to the home.

Sage. Sage is the most talked about cleansing herb, and with good reason. Unfortunately, a lot of the sage bundles you can buy at metaphysical stores are made with white sage (Salvia apiana), which is sacred to Native American peoples and is endangered due to overharvesting. Instead of buying those, why not grow your own garden sage (Salvia officinalis), which has a lot of the same magical properties? Growing sage in your home will purify the space and protect those who live there. Sage also has an association with wisdom and mental prowess.

Hoya. Hoya is a common houseplant that you’ve probably seen even if you don’t know it by name. It has a distinctive appearance with waxy, dark green leaves and clusters of white, star-shaped flowers. Hoya aligns and balances the energy centers within your body, as well as in the surrounding space. It’s associated both with grounding and with spiritual openness, so it can be great for balancing the two.

Peppermint. Peppermint has a variety of magical uses, but my favorite way to use it is for gently opening up blockages and getting things moving. It’s great for cleansing, but is more gentle than rosemary or sage. Place it in any room where you tend to do a lot of healing work, or where you could use some peace and love. Peppermint is also used in dream magic, so growing it in the bedroom may bring on vivid or lucid dreams.

Orchid. Orchids are used in magic for love and lust. Historically, orchid has been used in folk medicine to promote male virility and “Jezebel root,” used in American folk magic to attract wealthy male lovers, is a type of orchid root. If you live with a significant other, try growing an orchid in the bedroom to promote passion in your sex life. Otherwise, grow orchids in your home to promote love or to attract romance.

Catnip. If you have cats, they’ll love this one. Catnip is actually a type of mint, and has strong lunar associations. It’s said to make one more charming and attractive, and is especially useful for attracting women. At the same time, catnip promotes courage and fierceness. It is also, of course, associated with cats and feline deities, so this is definitely a plant you’ll want to keep around if the cat is one of your animal guides.

If you have a yard space that you can turn into an outdoor garden, your magical plant options are limited only by your local ecosystem. Some outdoor plants that have magical uses include roses, sunflowers, rue, lemon balm, and strawberries.

Creating an Altar

Altars are focal points of magical and spiritual energy. Many people, both witches and non-witches, find that having a designated space for their spiritual practice creates a deeper sense of sacredness and purpose.

An altar can serve lots of different purposes. Many witches use their altar as a magical work space to prepare spells, meditate, and do divination. You may choose to dedicate your altar to a deity, your ancestors, or some other spirit(s) you work with. You can also build altars for specific intentions, such as a money altar or a love altar — performing rituals at this altar everyday is a powerful method for manifestation. You altar may be some or all of these things, or it may just be a place to sit and connect with the spiritual.

You can set up an altar on any flat surface, like a shelf or table, or inside a container like a jewelry box. Your setup can be as simple or as elaborate as you like. An altar can be huge and complex, with statues and candles and flowers, or it can be as simple as a tealight and an incense burner. It’s all about what appeals to you.

Simple explanation of different Clair-Senses

.｡❅*⋆⍋*∞*｡*∞*⍋⋆*❅｡. .｡❅*⋆⍋*∞*｡*∞*⍋⋆*❅｡.

⓵ Clairvoyance= Sight. The ability to gain information about an object, person, location, or physical event through extrasensory perception. sight, typically attributed to better/clearer vision, also attributed to literal 'future' vision (think fortune tellers and scrying). Often includes being able to see entities, energies, etc with varying degrees of detail and clarity.

⓶ Clairauience= Hearing. The ability to hear information from entities or hearing spirits in general. Sharper sense of hearing and more susceptible to spirit communication through this sense alone.

⓷ Cleartangency= Touch. The ability to receive information through physically touching an object, person, animal, or place.

⓸ Clairsentience= Feeling. The ability for a person to acquire knowledge by means of feeling. Mostly related to high empathy and emotional projection. Think, asking if it’s okay to take something from the woods and be able to feel if it’s a yes or no.

⓹ Clairalience / Clairsmelliance= Smell. The ability to smell things that once were, able to tell an entity is nearby by being able to smell them (think being able to tell when an ancestor of yours is with you when you call to them because you can smell their perfume or something). Often a package deal with gustance, same premise but with sniffing

⓺ Claircognizance= Knowing. The ability for a person to acquire psychic knowledge without knowing how or why they knew it. Can be conflated with clairvoyance and also attributed to future vision. Claircognizance is also the clair most associated with things like deja vu, premonitions, basically being able to 'sense' a certain string of events before they occur. When communicating with entities this can look like say, asking what they want as an offering, and having a thought of what they wanting popping into your head as if it’s your own thought.

⓻ Clairempathy= Empathy. The ability to feel other people’s, animal’s, places, worldly ongoing, or plant’s emotions or physical pain as though they are your own. Also simply referred to as being an Empath or empathetic. (Note, people can be empathetic without having this spiritual skill, being empathetic, like sympathetic or apathetic, are mundane social skills/behaviours as well).

⓼ Clairgustance= Taste. The ability to taste a substance without putting anything in one's mouth. taste, able to taste food and feel mouth texture outside of ones own frame of reference. Often comes with clairalience since smell and taste are connected.

Working with Marquis Andras

My second source of “encouragement” to work out.

He’s also pretty metal, with a lot of edge. Andras be rolling with that biker aesthetic.

Some background on Andras.

Andras found his origins in Zoroastrian demonology; serving as an emissary of Ahriman- a Daeva. He was one of the highest ranked among Ahriman’s emissaries and he ruled over warfare and combat.

He was integrated into Hinduism as a celestial deity of war and lightning.

He appears in apocryphal Jewish mythology as one of the Grigori or Watchers who fell from Heaven to fornicate with humans and taught humankind all manner of trades. Andras taught mankind about combat, specifically the ways in which the skull may be crushed.

He is the father of Malphas, and the two are known to manifest together at times. Malphas has similar astral powers to Andras: He can give the witch the ability to perform divination with flawless accuracy, and he also bestows the ability to perfectly remember the astral journeys they take during the hours of sleep. He gives the ability to perfectly remember dreams and attain lucidity within them. He imparts a “by any means necessary” mentality when it comes to the pursuit of your True Will.

Andras is a powerful Marquis of hell and a psychopomp, he can teach and empower necromancy, mind control, shapeshifting, the concealment of things, lethal and non-lethal execration, initiation, and workings which use death energy. He imparts discretion and deception. He can cause countless manners of death and destruction and can give the witch an advantage in both violent and non-violent conflict.

Speaking of conflict, Andras can teach the witch the art of combat.

He can increasing their combative talents and physical fitness. He grants the witch the power to stand unshaken in the face of calamity. Andras can also program the astral double for automatic astral projection, and augments one’s psychic intuition and magical memory.

While Andras can sow discord, he can also reconcile ongoing conflicts by bringing them to a close through confrontation.

Some cautions with Andras:

Andras should only be summoned for important matters as he can be blunt, serious, dominant, intimidating, direct, and sometimes impatient.

Andras gets fast results, and it’s said that he often does so at the expense of unwanted and unexpected outcomes. He rips the bandaid off, without hesitation. So it can be very intimidating to a young and inexperienced witch.

Not recommended for beginners for this reason.

He is known to completely uproot one’s current identity or life to make way for new developments. Also pretty intimidating to someone who has only started working with the left-hand path.

Welp, that about raps up my knowledge on Marquis Andras. I will be including him in my posts on “Squad Shenanigans” and my future post on how I see them, encouraging all beginners not to worry if they see their deities differently then someone else does. As per usual, any other points can be left in the comments.

🌇The Clairs🌇

The Clairs are physic abilities that we have, now we don’t have all of them although it’s possible to train them, it is hard though.

Clairvoyance means clear seeing. This is when visions past, present and future flash through our mind’s eye, or third eye, much like a daydream. Many of us are highly visual and able to understand an idea best when we see it written or sketched out as an image on a computer screen or on a canvas. Visual people often choose to be artists, builders, photographers, decorators, designers and so forth. If this sounds familiar, your clairvoyance is most likely a dominant sense. Clairaudience means clear hearing. This is when we hear words, sounds or music in our own mind’s voice. On rare occasions, spirit may be able to create audible sound, though this takes a tremendous amount of focused energy. Some of us best retain and comprehend information when we hear it spoken aloud. Our natural talents tend to lie in our auditory faculties, often making us gifted musicians, singers, writers and public speakers. If this feels right to you, clairaudience may be a leading sense for you. Clairsentience means clear feeling. This entails feeling a person’s or spirit’s emotions or feeling another’s physical pain. Many of us are clairsentient without consciously being aware of it. When we get a strong “gut” feeling, positive or negative, about someone we just met or when we get the “chills” for no apparent reason, we may be tuning into the emotional energy of a person or a spirit around us. When we are highly sensitive and are in tune with not only our own feelings, but also the feelings of others, this makes us natural healers and caregivers. We often feel inspired to pursue careers as doctors, therapists, counselors, nannies and teachers. If this is you, clairsentience is at the top of your senses list. Clairalience means clear smelling. This is being able to smell odors that don’t have any kind of physical source. Instances of this could include smelling the perfume or the cigarette smoke of a deceased relative, used as a sign of their presence around us. When our sense of smell is strong and distinct, we may find that certain smells connect us to past memories or we may be drawn to working as a florist, a wine taster or a perfume fragrance creator. Clairgustance means clear tasting. This is the ability to taste something that isn’t actually there. This experience oftentimes comes from out of the blue when a deceased loved one is attempting to communicate a memory or association we have with a particular food or beverage that reminds us of them. If we have a heightened sense of taste, this would make us natural chefs, bakers or food critics. Claircognizance means clear knowing. This is when we have knowledge of people or events that we would not normally have knowledge about. Spirit impresses us with truths that simply pop into our minds from out of nowhere. An example of this would be a premonition: a forewarning of something that will happen in the future. Claircognizance requires tremendous faith because there’s often no practical explanation for why we suddenly “know” something. Many philosophers, professors, doctors, scientists, religious and spiritual leaders and powerful sales and business leaders tend to be highly intuitive and seem to just know the facts with a sense of certainty. If this is you, consider claircognizance as one of your dominant senses. Sources: http://www.oprah.com/spirit/developing-your-5-clair-senses-rebecca-rosen/all#ixzz6h08tHGrd

“The Craft” Inspired Glamour Spell

This is a quick, easy pop-culture glamour spell that you can do at pretty much any time. While this spell won’t grant you a full on brunette-to-blonde transformation, it’s pretty universal and can suit multiple intentions

You will need:

- A candle (white, red, or pink)

- A beauty sigil (or any sigil for your purpose, optionally in the center of a pentagram) in a color that matches your intent

- Rose petals (or any plant/herb you think would suit your intent)

- Essential oils/incense for your intent (optional)

Step 1:

Print out/draw your sigil and arrange the rose petals/substitute in a circle around it and place the candle on top of the sigil

Step 2:

Set your intention in whichever way you want, now is the time to use the oils/incence if you choose to use them.

Step 3:

Light your candle. As you do this, imagine what you want to happen because of your spell. How do people act around you? How do you feel? What happens as a result of the spell?

Step 4:

Say the following:

“This is to feel, (place your hand over the candle but be careful!)

this is to be, (place your hand on the circle of herbs/petals)

shape and form it for all to see, (place your hand on the feature you would like to glamour if you like)

by the power of three times three,

as I will it, so shall it be.”

Blow out the candle and the spell’s done!

Simple Spell To Find Lost Things!

Alright guys idk about you but I’m the kind of person who loses things constantly. So I heard of this spell a little and modified it, and the first time I did it was when I lost something important of mine for five hours. Withen thirty seconds of finishing this spell I found the thing and I haven’t lost it since (which is rare for me).

What you need: ·1 white candle ·Oil of your choice (I use lavender) ·Something sharp (a pen, knife, tooth pick, whatever)

Take your white candle and your sharp object. Carve into the candle what you want to find (keys, wallet, phone, whatever). Anoint the candle with your oil of choice. I recommend using something with positive energy and luck. Personally I use lavender. Place the candle somewhere safe and light it. If you want you can chant “Open my eyes and let me see, bring (your missing object) back to me.” Let the candle burn out completely, or until the part of the wax where you’ve written your object has burned away.

This spell has saved my ass multiple times. Good luck!

A Lazy Witch's Mabon

Today is Mabon (September 21st-23rd, technically celebrations can last through the 28th though) this is the holiday where the day and night are again equal right before the nights start getting longer than the days and the cold sets in. Around this time is when the second harvest would take place for those with farms.

The main themes that are celebrated in this holiday are balance, changing of the seasons, gratitude, and sharing.

Here are some simple things you can do to celebrate!

Decorate your altar, you can do this with just things you have around the house or on the ground. If you live in an area with pinecones, those work just fine! Acorns? Perfect! Leaves? Wonderful! Any red, yellow, brown, or orange cloth? Include it! (This can even be clothing if you don't mind having it on your altar)

Since feasts are out of the question (partly because that's a lot of work for a lazy witch guide, partly because there's a pandemic and having a feast goes against social distancing), you can see incorporate the holiday into your personal meals. Have a lot of seasonal foods, like carrots and potatoes. Apples and pomegranates are also used traditionally to celebrate mabon.

Either set up or recharge and check on home protection wards. Especially as the cold season approaches (and Samhain on roughly a month) you want you house protected from negativity.

Make a talisman or sigil to help with seasonal depression. Something that will help keep your mood and energy balanced over the next few seasons until the weather warms up again. Might post a very simple talisman spell for a necklace after this.

Make or buy a potpourri. For those that don't know what it is, its a collection of dried herbs, leaves, flower petals and spices that are used to make you house smell good. Put traditional ma on herbs and spices in there as well as acorns or pinecones, bark from trees, and more to give it a more fall, woodsy look. Just put it out in pretty bowls around your house and you're all decorated!

Spend some time outside and take notice of the change in the air. Is the air colder? Are the plants changing? Are leaves changing colors yet? Meditate on this.

You don't have to go all out for every holiday every year. Be easy with yourself and do as much as you can while preserving your mental health.

Happy Mabon witches 💛🍃🍂🍃🍂🧡
