Takeaway practices from Hearth and Home Witchcraft

The Comfy Cozy Witch did convince me to shake things up in my practice via consecrations.

The word kind of rubs me the wrong way, maybe too Christianized, but basically a small spell of intention for objects via rubbing with oil or some other herb.

Objects we can consecrate:

Room candles

Journal

Blankets

Jewelry

Water bottles

Hairbrush

Thinking of all the intentions of coziness and comfort and nurturing that can work with these.

Grounding - What is it and how to do it

What is grounding?

Ground is bonding and exchanging energy with different elements, but typically, people ground to bond and exchange energy with Earth.

Grounding isn't just used in witchcraft/paganism, it is also used in different types of Therapy, like CBT, DBT, etc.

Why is grounding used in Witchcraft?

To help discover a safe space within themselves

To be present

To form an energetic or spiritual connection to the Earth

To prepare for any magical working

To rejuvenate your energy

Gets you in the mood to practice

Prepares you to pull energy from the Earth or to raise energy

What are some benefits of grounding?

Decrease pain, anxiety, depression, stress

Restore balance to the body

Increase energy

Brings you back to the present

Improved self control, focus, self care, and clarity

How to ground

There are many different ways to ground, and not all ways will work for you. It may take many trials and errors, but you will find a way that works!

Here's some ways that help me!

Stimming (shaking hands, moving my body, fidgeting with sensory tools, etc)

Walking on grass with bare feet

Holding/rubbing crystals (doesn't even have to be crystals that are for grounding)

Drawing/doodling

Showering

Ways to Ground:

"It's a reminder to consistently humble ourselves in the Craft, to stay close to the edge of the natural realm, science and logic." -- Frankie Castanea, Spells for Change

Eat or drink (my classic go to, like a single cookie. Wine's also a classic.)

Walk barefoot (especially outside or on grass)

Touch a plant or animal (just a natural thing I do, happy there's a word for the feeling I get afterward.)

Work with clay

Visualization of yourself as a tree with roots, grounding excess energy
