The rest of 2018 full moons

June 28th: Strawberry moon. The day of the strawberry moon is a time where we welcome the summer solstice and some of our traditions change, some of us will go outside in search for new plants to see and new places to practice our craft. A tip for the strawberry moon is to start using more solar magick, taking the longer days for granted.

July 27th: Thunder Moon. If you’re Norse this is the perfect moon if Thor is one of the Gods you worship. This is the time where you use the plants you grew in your practices.

August 26th: Green Corn Moon. This is the time where you store your plants for the winter, thank any Goddess or Gods for being there for the summer. 

September 24th: Harvest Moon. Using abundance spells during this full moon will make them a lot more powerful.  

October 24th: Hunters Moon. Divination is not necessary but it is a lot more powerful during this time. Taking some helpful tips of hibernation from animals, check and make sure you have enough money for the coming months, check your smoke alarms and make sure your tires on your car (if you have one) are fine.

November 23rd: Frost Moon. Reducing stress during this moon is key to make sure you are ready for the winter, strengthening your bonds with any loved ones is always helpful during this moon and will prove to be useful in the coming winter months.

December 22nd: The Long Night Moon. This moon in particular is a great time to start healing, letting go of negative energies is key during this time. Of course, don’t wait for this particular moon to give up toxic relationships etc... although this is key time for doing such.

Now, most of these are based on Canadian and American seasons and moon periods, always make sure you are using all of the above moons as an opportunity and not a deadline for letting relationships go, saving up money, etc...

Smoking Herbs

This is more of an informational post, where I got the information will be linked on the x, but most of the sources are from people who have “tried” it I have no idea if they actually did and I’m not doing this for myself. Just something to note, IF YOU CAN’T FIND ANY PROFESSIONAL SOURCES FOR DOING IT, THEN DON’T DO IT! 

Just so you know, smoking anything will cause damage to lungs, smoke is bad for you and you are putting your lungs at risk by smoking anything. Smoking through a plastic straw is extremely dangerous because it has toxic materials in it (Yes, people do this). 

X Basil- You can smoke it, it is not toxic to smoke it and will not burn a hole through your throat or anything, but it is extremely harsh and will burn in general. The smoke will cause damage to your lungs as will anything you smoke.

X Valerian Root- For your own sake, DON’T!!!! Valerian root has an acid in it called valeric acid, it is toxic (X) while it is a seditive it also has cytotoxin in it (X) which in the name it even says it is toxic. While it is a sedative it will not act the same if you smoke it, valerian will cause chemical burn to your throat, etc..

X Sage- Sage has slightly psychoactive properties and while you can smoke it even with thujone (X) and what I have found is that thujone is in absinthe and extremely addictive (So is absinthe and the thujone is the culprit of that) 

X Bay Leaves- Burning a bay leaf in general is a calming thing to have around in your room etc.. bay leaves are probably the best one to smoke (The Greeks used bay leaves to associate themselves with the God Apollo), burning it brings almost a trance like state to your body since it is a narcotic, that part is a given. Warning it can be addictive if you do it too much. (For any witches a tip for this instead of inhaling smoke you can chew bay leaves and it’s less harmful) 

X Rosemary- While it is great for incense smoking it too much can cause dry mouth and headaches. It is another smokeable herb while it does not cause a buzz or addictive in any sense, it can become a habit, nothing is safe to smoke though so do be careful. 

X Oregano-  All that will happen is you’ll get a headache, it is pretty harsh, while it is pretty painful to smoke you won’t get any chemical burns or anything. You will get a sore throat because it is harsh to breath in and smoke isn’t really made for you to breath in the worst it will do is a shortness of breath and a pretty painful throat (X).

If you have any questions about any of this stuff please just ask me even if it on anonymous because these aren’t all of the herbs you can and can’t smoke. If you are too lazy to go looking for side effects, I will do it for you because I would rather waste my time trying to stop you from getting chemical burns than let anyone burn their throat and have to go to the hospital from not doing research.

Broom Closet Witch

As a broom closet witch it is strange how accepting my husband is. He helps me be a bit secretive all the while being supportive.
