Every time a witch mentions going to Salem or devil worship, I just immediately clock them as uneducated and ignore whatever tf they're trying to say.

In magical and spiritual traditions, a Supermoon is considered a "Full Moon on steroids." Because the moon is physically closer to Earth (at perigee), its gravitational and energetic influence is believed to be significantly amplified.

In magic, a Lunar Eclipse is often called the "Quantum Reset." While a standard Full Moon is a time for regular maintenance and minor releasing, an eclipse is seen as a high-stakes celestial event where the normal rules of lunar magic are suspended or "short-circuited."

A Blue Moon occurs when there are two full moons in a single calendar month. In the world of magic, this is known as a "Bonus Moon" or a "Goal-Getter’s Moon." Because it is a rare occurrence (happening only once every 2.5 to 3 years), it is treated as a high-powered celestial anomaly. If a regular full moon is a monthly "check-in," a Blue Moon is a "once-in-a-lifetime" opportunity for major shifts.

Full Moon Magic 🌕 - Many witches consider the day before, the day of and the day after to be tied with the full moon. Spells to cast during this phase are: Increasing your intuition, healing magic, rituals that connect you closely with a deity (such as Drawing Down the Moon) or any spells/magic related to developing your magical skills.

What's an egg cleanse?

Its a traditional spiritual healing ritual used to absorb, diagnose, and remove negative energy, stress, or the "evil eye" from a person's aura. It is typically performed by passing a raw egg over the body and cracking it into water to interpret the results.

The Cleansing: A practitioner or individual rolls an uncooked egg over the body—often starting at the head and moving down to the feet—while visualizing the egg drawing out bad energy.

The Reading: The egg is cracked into a clear glass of water. By looking at the shapes, textures, and behaviors of the yolk and whites, the user reads their energetic state.

Disposal: The contents are usually flushed down the toilet with a pinch of salt to safely wash the negative energy away.

The patterns found in the glass provide clues about emotional and spiritual well-being. Practitioners use common indicators for interpretation:

Bubbles: Often mean built-up stress, anxiety, or the absorption of the "evil eye".

Cobwebs or Threads: Indicate that someone is jealous of you or that there are blockages in your life/business.

Cloudy or Murky Water: Suggests emotional turmoil or a loss of energy.

Peaks or Needles: Point to anger, self-sabotage, or people in your life stirring up drama.

Blood or Bad Odor: Traditionally viewed as a warning sign of a severe negative attachment or illness, prompting a need for another cleanse.

The practice spans many cultures, including Latin American folk healing (Curanderismo), Mediterranean traditions, and Eastern European folk magic. It hinges on the egg acting as a "spiritual vacuum" that cleanses the spirit and restores balance.

Can I "lock" my mirrors?

Yes.

Wash them first, and then you can draw a sigil or even a padlock on the top or bottom corner of your mirrors. (Wash with regular window cleaner)

For sigil prompts it could be like: "this mirror is closed and locked from spirit energy/entry", "this mirror is locked from being a portal." Or whatever wording you would like to use.

Hope this helps.
