Water & Low Spoons Magic = Teas!

[image desscription: a glass mug with a tea bag steeping in it on a sunlit table]

Disclaimer: as I'm writing this I do have a cup of tea I'm drinking! It's ginger, to replenish my spoons

One of the low spoons practices you can do (and ofc you also find it in my PDF alongside many others!) is to brew yourself a tea.

If you want to add even more magic, you can use moon or sun water (if it's safe for drinking), but you can also rely only on the meanings of the herbs and fruits in the teas.

You can make your own blend, of course, but to really use as little spoons as possible I suggest using ready-made tea bags with one or more specific ingredients, according to the energy you want to attract!

Note: not all the ingredients need to mean something! For example, I am having a tangerine and ginger tea because of the ginger - the tangerine is also there but not linked to why I'm having it (beside the taste).

These are the meanings that I personally know & use and have learned from various sources, but I did go to Flyingthehedge herbarium to add common types of teas that I didn't know yet!

ginger: energy

lavender: relaxation and sleep

chamomile: also sleep

cinnamon: abundance, success

orange: joy

black pepper: inner strenght

pomegranate: abundance, fertility, sexuality

rose: love (self love included)

rosemary: protection&purification

tumeric: courage

mint: clarity of mind

jasmine: prophetic dreams

dandelion: psychic powers

apple: love

eucalyptus: healing & protection

hibiscus: change, loyalty, love, resistance

lemon: cleansing

strawberry: love, fertility, romance

Feel free to add other meanings you know of or types of tea you'd like to know about!

Spoonie Witch Tips!

I have fibromyalgia and it results in extreme bone pain, which sometimes makes it very very hard to just live life, let alone develop my craft. As a result, here’s my list of the easiest witchy practices for spoonie witches to deal with chronic pain or just to develop their craft.

🦋 first of all, BATH SPELLS. nothing has worked better for relieving my pain than a nice hot bath soak. i use bath bombs, herbs, flowers, and sometimes color magic in my baths so i can practice my craft while relieving my pain.

🦋sigils!! this one is huge. sigils are so simple and easy to do, if you use a heating pad for pain at all, draw a pain relief sigil on it! draw sigils anywhere you can, on yourself, school supplies, makeup, etc. this always makes me feel more connected to my practice.

🦋do wards before bed and not during the day. doing wards can drain your energy so much, and coupled with chronic pain this makes it so hard to get through the day. therefore, i always do wards right before i go to bed so i can immediately sleep and replenish my energy.

🦋sun and moon water!! all you have to do is leave some water on a windowsill and you’re good to go. you can use it for all sorts of spell work or even pour a little bit into a hot bath i mentioned earlier.

🦋spend time with your crystals! you can even do this in bed or just carry them with you.

🦋meditate if you can, this can be so relaxing if you’re stuck in bed because of pain.

🦋light some incense to easily help cleanse your space

🦋dream magick!! dream magick is one of my favorite kinds of magic because it is so simple and even on my bad days i can still do a little dream magick if i feel up to it.

🦋divination in bed!! i do this allll the time.

🦋listen to the birds outside if you’re stuck in bed, this one always makes me feel better and more connected to nature.

🦋astral travel!

🦋don’t feel bad if you just don’t have the energy to take care of a plant or can’t because you’re in too much pain. Go for very low maintenance plants or even digital.

🦋create a witchy playlist or listen to music as part of your craft. even sing if you can! music is so powerful, it can have many magical applications. singing always makes me feel so much better.

🦋emoji spells!! you can easily like and reblog to charge and cast an emoji spell, i have a ton on my blog. a lot of people are critical of emoji spells, but magic is intent. the reason why i love emoji spells so much is their simplicity, wide applications, and i can create one for others to use even if i’m bedridden.

🦋DON’T FEEL LIKE YOU *NEED* TO PRACTICE IF YOU ARE IN PAIN. witchcraft will always be there on a day where you feel better, don’t push yourself and risk your health.

Ways to get Closer to Your Craft

Open your curtains in the morning and look outside

Always try to stay grounded. Observe life around you

Make a list of the correspondences of certain soaps or other products that you have. Use a product with intent

Draw sigils

Chant in your head

Walk, sit, or lie down outside. Watch the plants dance in the wind and listen to your surroundings

Carry crystals or objects that mean a certain thing to you

Take time for yourself

Smile at strangers and visualize sending positive energy their way

Listen to music that represents your intent

Pick your outfits using colour magic

Light a candle

Do something for your community. By putting good things out, the universe will repay you

Try interpreting a tarot card for each day

Be creative. Find the magic in every day objects

Practice energy work

Meditate

Schedule days to go to the library and research plants, herbs, your religion, etc

Say thank you more often. Even when no one is there

Try to grow some plants

Have tea more often

Go outside!! I cannot stress this enough. Connect to nature. Go barefoot. Dance in the rain. Anything. Just go out

When hiking pick up things that call to you

Pick up trash. Give back to the planet

Take care and time for yourself

Be patient

Remember, its your craft. Do what feels right 🌱

Here’s another chant! This one is to clear energy from your crystals/gems! 

1. Begin by cupping your crystal(s) in your hand

2. Pronounce this so that it rhymes, like so: 

Glittering gem in my hand 

The time has come to demand 

That all old energy be washed away from you 

Replace darkness with light

Bring peace to remove fright

So that your energy may be clear and free

So mote it be!

Attn. Weather Witches: Fixing many disasters with one spell...

So with the flooding in Texas and crazy wildfires in California, Nevada, Oregon AND Washington I think this is a prime opportunity for weather witch teamwork.

I admit my knowledge in weather/storm witching is slim to none, BUT I'm hoping that with the aid of the Tumblr witch community, we could come up with a good powerful spell to aid many different states all at once!

What I think we need:

A witch representative from each affected state, Texas, California, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington.

Candles

Rain Water

A sigil for Texas to move water out.

A sigil for California, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington to draw water in.

I'm open to further suggestions, spells ect! Let's see what this community can do!

Note: I know donations to rescue relief/shelter organizations and able bodies on the ground is far more helpful and if you're able to provide any of those things, do so. I am, unfortunately not able bodied and quite broke, so this is currently what I can contribute.
