I just read this post by heatherwitch on love magic for bedridden witches and I want to write down the ones I like so I can remember them.
I’ll add my comments/ideas in blue
✨ “Assign a candle to each person you care about, and burn it when you’re thinking of them to send good energy their way”
I’m going to do this, as well as create my own prayer ritual. Maybe I could create several mini alters, each composed of: the candle, gems and some other small items that I feel correspond to the person. Ouuu I could order stickers of their photos and stick their photo to their candle – that would be super cool. Or I could get a beautiful mini picture frame for each mini photo. I can pick a song and scents I associate with my love for them as well.
✨ “Enchant your salt lamp to fill the room with love whenever it warms up”
I’m gonna do this because I love the idea of light filling a room with positive energy, especially if it’s coming from a rock, but I do want to say... So, the belief that Himalayan salt rocks/lamps produce negative ions in the air by adding electrons to oxygen molecules is not backed by any clinical study. Based on what I’ve read from several sources over the years, I am inclined to agree that the claim cannot be regarded as true.
✨ “Keep a jar of the coins you find on the street for luck”
When I find coins, I usually just put them in my wallet to bring home and put in my savings jar. When the jar is full, I roll them up and deposit them in the bank. But now that I’ve read this.. instead of putting change I find into my savings jar, I’ll put it in a jar designated only for lucky coins. Coins I get back from purchases can go in the savings jar. Ouu! Once the lockdowns finally lift, and it’s safe to use cash again, I can use my lucky coins to put in tip jars/dishes at stores. And to give to people when they’re buying coffee for me! ☺️
✨ “Write your wishes on a bay leaf and place it under your pillow”
This is so cute ☺️ some other plants associated with love: basil, calendula, thyme, patchouli, yarrow, lavender, oregano, fennel
✨ “Keep moonwater from every phase”
I knew I wanted to make moon water at different times during the lunar cycle but I always imagined myself using it right away. Now that I’m thinking about this... I could get tiny glass jars to store a little extra in case I want to do a spell later in the month that a certain moon phase would be best for! I want tiny little jars shaped like hearts, plants, the stereotypical potion jar you see in movies (round base thin neck and a large cork cap/cork/lid).
✨ “Hide little hearts around the room, infused with different energies that you get whenever you remember and notice them”
I already have hearts all around me, but I never thought about attributing a meaning to each of them. I could have the heart-dish that holds my keys remind me that I’m grateful for my home and family. I wanna get some small/medium heart-shaped wall mirrors – I can enchant those as well – maybe with the feelings of self-love, self-compassion and self-acceptance to remind myself to have confidence 💕
