I’m growing rosemary in my back yard. Just got some (ofc I asked and gave offerings right back) and am drying them now. I use rosemary as offerings for Hestia and am looking to learn to use them for cleansing.

‪This thing happens to me where I can just be chilling and a random scenario pops into my head and then like weeks and sometimes even months later that thing actually happens and I’m always left with this strange sense of deja vú.‬ Can someone help me figure out what this is?

Baby Witch Tip?

I️ know I’m a baby witch and all but recently every time I’ve needed something spells/prayers/potions/etc have all kind of come to me. And I️ feel as though even though I’m very new to practicing, I’m learning to trust my instincts and listen to my guides. By doing so I’m learning so much and feeling more knowledgeable and stronger by the day.

A Re-Introduction

Hey everyone! I used to go by the username apollo-and-aphrodite. So I’ve been away for... quite a while. And naturally, I’ve changed quite a bit in that time. So I wanted to take the time to re-introduce myself, and say I’m pretty much back. I’m gonna be talking about who I am and what I want this tumblr to be, so y’all can make the decision of following or not.

IN GENERAL

I’m 18, and I use they/them pronouns. I have multiple mental and physical health disorders. I’m a beginner cosplayer and I’m a writer, currently in the process of writing a book. I am a semi-professional musician. And most importantly, I love learning new things.

MY PRACTICE

I am just getting back into my practice but here we go. I worship the Ancient Greek Gods, and am an eclectic witch. I mainly work with Aphrodite, Ares, Apollo, and Hekate but also work with Hermes, Dionysus, Hades, Persephone, Artemis. Of course to some degree I work with / respect / honor / etc all of them, that’s just who I mainly work with. I enjoy representational / protective magick and generally don’t do ceremonial magick. Sigils have recently become something I’m very interested in. I enjoy Tarot a lot and have been getting a bit of experience with a pendulum as of the last couple days.

MY BACKGROUND

I’ve been practicing in one way or another since I was 9 years old, doing really simple things that never ended up working. When I was around 12, I discovered Paganism, specifically Wicca. I dove far into Wicca before realizing at around age 15-16 that my beliefs fit more closely with Hellenic Polytheism. I don’t do much “big” magick, but have been successful in things like bindings and protection workings.

THIS TUMBLR

On this tumblr, I want to share about various spiritual and magical experiences I have. This includes sharing some of my spells / rituals so you can learn, but some of them will, of course, be kept private. I will be sharing about lots of different parts of my craft mainly so this blog can be a resource for y’all and so I can look back at my growth.

Thank you for reading! See you around.

GENDER AFFIRMATION SPELL BOTTLE

So last night, on Ostara, I did a gender affirmation spell bottle. I figured I’d share it here for my trans witches and anyone who wants a little extra boost to be confident about their gender. I’d like to emphasize that you do not need any of this stuff, work with whatever feels right for YOU.

Ingredients I suggest: A candle that corresponds to your gender and expression (I just used a white candle), a bottle or jar that can be sealed tight, herbs that correspond to your gender and expression, essential oils that correspond to your gender and expression, and a carrier oil. Be very careful when adding any essential oils. You will not be putting this on your skin, but still be careful about making sure the essential oils you use are safe for skin in case some spills somewhere.

Basis of the ritual: Do anything you would typically do before doing a spell working (ie. casting a circle, calling on preferred deities, etc). You’re going to want to put your herbs and oils into the bottle, focusing clearly on your intention. You may wish to repeat your intention out loud, saying something along the lines of “I am secure in my gender and expression”. Then take the candle and light it, letting it burn until you have a fair amount of wax. When it is done burning, use the melted wax to seal the bottle, again visualizing your intention, this time more firmly because as you seal the jar, you are finalizing the spell.

After the ritual: Clean up any wax or remnants if you see fit and do anything you would normally do upon completing a spell.
