baby witch tips (2)
you are going to make mistakes. it's a given, as a human being it's bound to happen. i've certainly had my fair share!
the first spell i ever did involved blood. blood. four years later i shiver at the thought of it!! i've knocked over candles and spilt offerings. i've fumbled my words in spells. i've thanked the fae.
i guess what i'm trying to say is this - accept the fact that you're going to make mistakes, and move on. is there anything you can do to make up for it? do you need any protectionin case of ramifications? if both no - then move on.
you're not a bad witch. you're not terrible at your craft. i guarantee you that every single one of us has made these same mistakes. i still make mistakes because i'm still human.
it's okay.

August 1st, 2020 marks Lammas fellow witches!
It is the cross-quarter day between the Summer Solstice and the Autumn Equinox. Lammas is one of the four major sabbaths making it one of the most celebrated days of the Wiccan year. However, this holiday is not only for Wiccans!
Breifly, an overview of Lammas will prove that traditionally another name for Lammas is Lughnasadh, after the ancient Celtic festival celebrated on this date. Lughnasadh honors the god Lugh, who is associated with the Sun. The event celebrated skills and talents, including building, smithcraft, poetry and magic. Irish legend has it that the festival originated with Lugh himself, when he held a funeral feast and sporting competition to honor his foster mother, Tailtiu.
The name “Lammas” actually comes from this tradition, taken from an old Anglo-Saxon phrase meaning “loaf mass.” Lammas was created during a time pagan religions and Christianity were able to coexist and even commingle.
Today, the celebration is all about giving thanks for the abundance of the past growing season and look forward to the remaining weeks of light and warmth as we continue reaping what we have sown.
So here’s how we can celebrate in today’s age:
BREAD. A Lammas feast should definitely involve bread, as well as late-summer fruits and vegetables, corn, and other grain dishes.
Those with youngins, have a popcorn party! Try adding herbs and enchantments for en extra boost of magic.
Try canning at you hearth! Preserving the harvest is something you will really appreciate three months from now when fresh local produce is hard to come by.
Decorate your altar with the colors of summer and fall—yellow, orange, red, green and brown.
Do a home blessing. The suns heat is getting ready to leave us, so take this time to air out your house while you still can. Open all the windows and doors, smudge it out in every direction, light some candles and enjoy the warmth while you can!
Use harvest imagery like scythes and baskets and, of course, loaves of bread.
People also might make a corn dolly; a traditional poppet made from straw or corn husk. They are usually for use in ritual and magic.
Use harvest imagery like scythes and baskets and, of course, loaves of bread.
Toast to the sunset. As the Wheel of the Year turns, and the light begins to recede, take some time to honor the sunset. Grab a bottle of champagne or harvest wine, some smudge sticks, and a picnic blanket.
Painting from last night's fiasco
Flidais is Goddess of the Forest, wild nature and has strong associations to sexuality. She originates from Ireland and is known by the epithet Foltchaín, meaning “beautiful hair”. She had green eyes compared to the most beautiful emeralds in the world.
She is said to be a shape shifter and a healing Goddess. An Earth Mother, nurturing and providing abundance. She is both domestic and wild, maternal and sexual.
Some accounts claim Flidais to be the Celtic “Goddess of the Hunt”and is often toted as the Celtic Artemis. “While her temperament could be prone to ferocity, her classic image is one of a benevolent, poised woman, often accompanied by woodland creatures and her bow, as she herself is considered to be a huntress and an accomplished archer”.
She rides a chariot pulled by Deer, her sacred animal along with cattle. She owns a herd of magical cows that were able to provide her people with milk for many days. Whoever drank the milk would have better health, increased strength and would be healed from all wounds. She tended to and healed the men wounded in battle, her herd supplying an entire army with milk every seven days.
She was part of the Tuath Dé Danann and had 3 daughters, Fand, Be Chuille and Be Teite. Two were considered witches, and one was a fairy queen. Her son, Nia Ségamain, was able to milk wild deer, powers given to him by his Mother.
As an Earth Goddess, she is associated with the colours brown and green. Trees are also sacred to Flidais as she serves as the protector of the trees, wild fauna, flora and the animals of the forest.
She is seen as the protector of the poor and the outcast who called on her when they were in need of safe harbor. She has a soft spot for human outcasts; those marginalized by society; people who, once upon a time, would have been inclined to take shelter in the forest.
“She represents the eternal cycles of growth and rebirth. She embodies both our domestic and wild natures, helping us find that balance within ourselves. Flidais also returns us to our own sense of empowerment. She claims the right to give Her powers of nurturing, abundance, and sensuality to whomever she chooses”.
There is no such thing as a good witch or a bad witch. We’re just witches.
