🌼 Essential and Carrier Oils for hair

Im dying my hair soon and i think its gonna die *pun intended* so i was researching benefits of oils to the hair and thought I'll share :)

Essential oils are distilled from the plant itself. They have the signature scent of the plant they came from. And they’re highly concentrated. For instance, it takes 220 pounds of lavender flowers to make a single pound of lavender oil.

Carrier oils (such as coconut oil, jojoba oil, almond oil, and olive oil) also come from plants, but they have a more neutral smell. And they’re not necessarily distilled down like essential oils are.

Here are the benefits of some essential and carrier oils:

🌼 Almond oil soothes and moisturizes the scalp.

🌼 Cedarwood oil stimulates the scalp and promotes hair growth.

🌼 Chamomile oil adds shine and softness to hair, and soothes the scalp.

🌼 Clary sage oil promotes hair growth and stimulates the scalp.

🌼 Coconut oil softens hair and increases shine.

🌼 Geranium oil strengthens hair.

🌼 Jojoba oil moisturizes the hair, adds nutrients, and stimulates the scalp.

🌼 Lavender oil deep conditions the hair, keeps it shiny, and helps control dandruff.

🌼 Moroccan argan oil moisturizes, nourishes, and provides antioxidants to hair.

🌼 Rosemary oil stimulates the roots, improves hair growth, and increases circulation in the scalp.

🌼 Sandalwood oil helps with dry ends, and adds fragrance to the hair.

Make sure to always use essential oils with carrier oils!

Remember to use these oils sparingly and research them some more before using. If you take all the precautions and experience rash or allergic reactions, stop immediately. Other than that, enjoy your healthy hair! >-<

4 green witch’s little cat rituals

to bless a cat

♥  catnip (cat magic, love, happiness)

♥  a cat treat

♥  a few flower petals (make sure it is a cat-safe flower just in case!)

find your chosen cat. offer the catnip and/or treat; as they are eating, give them some chin rubs and pets. as you do so, visualize golden energy passing from your fingertips and coating the cat’s fur.

a quick little chant will do: “may this creature be safe from harm, never lonely, never hungry, and always loved.”

sprinkle the flower petals where the cat was resting.

to form a deeper connection with a cat

♥  a piece of licorice root (love and connection)

sit in a comfortable spot in or outdoors with the cat, preferably relaxing. spend as long as you like giving gentle affection to the cat; meditate on the feeling of its fur, the vibrations of its purr, the way its ears twitch. let the cat smell your hand until it is comfortable with the scent. 

take the licorice root in your hand, inhale its scent, then offer it for the cat to smell. cats typically like the smell and taste of licorice root, and medicinally it can help strengthen their immune systems and digestive tracts. magickally, sharing the scent of the licorice can connect you and the cat more deeply.

a charm to draw cats to you

♥  a pinch of dried catnip, valerian, and rue

♥  a piece of brown cloth and brown thread (animal magick)

make a charm out of these three herbs and carry it with you to inspire magickal attraction to you from cats nearby.

a beauty charm/spell to capture feline elegance

♥  a square of pink fabric and pink ribbon

♥  a teaspoon or so of catnip

assemble the catnip in the fabric, gather the corners, and tie the pink ribbon to secure it as tightly as you can (or use another method, like sewing, to fasten it). hold the charm close and inhale its mild herbal scent; whisper, “may i possess a cat’s beautiful energy

The moon:

Me: OMG IT'S FULL MOON TMR I FORGOT AGHHHHSKSJABAB I NEED MOON WATER I NEED TO RESEARCH SKSKSKSKSSKSK

[thatnakedwitchinthewoods]

I'm not sure that you take questions, (sorry to bother you if you don't!) but I'm wondering if it's possible to overexert yourself while casting. I was working on casting circles for the last hour and I feel like I just ran a mile. Have a lovely day! I love your blog, btw.

Not a bother! It varies from person, but it can very well happen. Casting spells and circles need a lot of your intent and energy, so that might be why. Although if you're not tired after casting, it doesn't mean you're doing it wrong either. Just remember not to tire yourself out too much!

If you fill up one book, where are you going to put the rest of your ever increasing amount of spells, rituals, information, and all that jazz? In your second book of shadows of course! Or third, or fourth...

🍄 Things To Research As A Green Witch MASTERLIST

A green witch is typically a witch who specializes and focuses on natural materials and energies. They are often skilled herbalists and probably enjoys gardening. Like a lot. You might be a baby green witch or an experienced one. Maybe even an eclectic one, no matter what, all is welcome!

Y’all, please stop recommending witchcraft as a replacement for professional mental health treatment. It’s really dangerous. Spirituality is fine as a supplement to treatment, but telling people to drop their antidepressants or antipsychotics in favor of crystals and incense is going to get someone killed. ):

[thatnakedwitchinthewoods]

oh god please don't do that. Witchcraft is an aid, not a replacement.
