Moonshine is an alcoholic potion brewed by witches and cowboys; “Moon” to represent the Witching Hour, and “Shine” for sunny High Noons.

i’ve created something today which i’d like to share with you ♡

to do this craft you will need either a kitchen with stove and a pot of water, or maybe a cauldron works as well. afterwards it is recommended to have a warm heater nearby. also gather the following:

cinnamon

fresh basil

small papers

basically you just boil some water with a good amount of cinnamon and some fresh basil until you have a strong and dark mixture (i did that for approx. 20 minutes) and then you fill that mixture into a bowl and let your paper soak in it for about 5-10 minutes before you take it out to dry and use.

and then you can pretty much use it for any manifestation that you’d like! basil is amazing and attracts happiness, love, peace and money − which are all the things that everyone wishes for; cinnamon does almost the same and gives the whole thing a true power upgrade also.

use paper for: positive affirmations ◦ requests to the universe ◦ writing down wishes and desires ◦ setting intentions and goals ◦ scripting your dream life ◦ showing love and gratitude ◦ different manifestation methods (3x33 or 11x11) ◦ love letters ◦ spells and sigils ◦ literally anything you want to manifest in a positive way ♡

i think this is one genius little ‘do it yourself’ ♡ have fun!! ♡♡♡

Himalayan Salt Lamps and Witchcraft

All salt absorbs negative energy and is commonly used for protection. Having a salt lamp in any room will protect that room from evil entities and bad energy.

Himalayan salt lamps can also be used in spells regarding love (especially self-love), friendship, and romance. They have a gentle and very calming energy which are great for grounding and centering yourself before a ritual as well as healing magic.

You can do a very easy spell by focusing negative thoughts or toxic emotional attachments towards the salt lamp while it is off, and then turning the lamp on to let those thoughts or attachments go.

Keeping a himalayan salt lamp on while you sleep can help you to not have nightmares as well as aid in dream magic and astral travel. They are less disruptive to sleep than regular lights because they give off a warmer glow (whereas blue light will wake you up).

Traditionally, himalayan salt is said to bring a home abundance and prosperity.

Last but not least, you can use a salt lamp on your altar to represent the fire element. They glow much like a fire would and a good quality lamp is safe to keep on for extended periods of time.

Me, a witch: huehuehue, let me set out my rabbits foot, potion bottles, herbs, candles and other obviously witchy things!

My mom, a Dedicated Christian: Caity? *begins to open my bedroom door, only to find me sitting on the floor with absolutely nothing around me, like a fucking tornado picked up everything in the house and got rid of it*

Me: yep. Just sitting on the floor. Doing absolutely nothing. No need to look in my closet though. I’m just casually sitting in the middle of my room. Doing absolutely nothing, like normal hahahahahah.

Basic Crystals for Every Witch 💎

This is by no means all encompassing, but as someone who specializes in crystals, I can say that these are the most basic stones that every witch will want in their supplies.

Clear Quartz🌟 - This crystal can be used for literally anything and is very easy to program with your intent. Stock up on this stone because it can be used in replacement of any crystal in a spell. It is also a great stone to use if you really want to give your will a big boost, because clear quartz amplifies everything. And the best part is if you’re worried about your local crystal shops sources, you can find this stone naturally in just about any creek bed that has gravel patches.

Rose Quartz💘 - The stone of love of yourself and others. This is another handy stone to have because not only can it help encourage self-esteem, but it can bring love your way. Familial, platonic, or romantic. It won’t discriminate based on what you want or need.

Amethyst🔮 - A great stone to use if you’re looking for inner peace in your life. This stone brings about a soothing environtment and helps to keep you calm and collected. And for any aspiring psychics out there, this is the perfect stone to start training your third eye. Good for any spell where raw spiritual energy is needed.

Smokey Quartz⛰ - A really good stone to keep you grounded and connected to the psyichal plane in times of high stress. It takes negative energy and cleanses it before releasing it back into the world. Placing it at the feet opens a protective circle.

Hematite⚔️ - A good stone to use if you have issues with anger. It can help promote level headed thinking, especially in times of stress. Also a very good protection stone, carrying it in your pocket creates a ward/barrier around yourself to keep out negativity.

Sunstone☀️ - A great stone for those struggling with depression, or having a lot of self worth issues (!!this does not replace a doctor and medicine!!)) Its the stone of the sun and brings with it happiness and joy.

Moonstone🌕 - A stone of great love and sympathy, is helps foster positive energies and emotions. Bringing you closer to your feminine side, this is the stone of the moon. Also another good stone for those aspirings psychics!

Labradorite✨ - My absolute favorite stone that’s great from beginners because it can help light your path in the craft. It can bring you inspiration and helps you think outside the box.

Sodalite📚 - The stone of logic and intuition. A very good piece to have for all the baby witches and students, because it can keep you focused when researching and studying. Can also aid in soothing a panick attack.

Turquoise💊 - This is a very good general healing stone, and good to have for my healers out there. (!!this does not replace a doctor or medicine!!)) It can also help bring friendship.

Pyrite⚡️ - Not only a good stone to use if you’re looking to bring wealth to yourself or home, but great if you’re feeling sluggish in the morning this stone can help give you a little energy to start the day.

Reminder that if you’re a witch and you use “broom closet” or “coming out” or “closet witch” in regards to hiding your craft you mock and disregard lgbt people’s experiences and the trauma and stress that comes with coming out. You do not “come out” as a witch. I understand you might get weird looks from people, but telling someone you’re a witch is much different and is no where near comparable to telling someone you’re lgbt. Use “secret witch” or something similar. It’s not that difficult.

Some people always get super salty when they come asking for help with a “ghost haunting” and the first thing i ask them is “have you checked your living space for carbon monoxide”.

Like maybe you thought coming to a witch you’d get some neat spell or some shit, but a big part of being a (good) witch is also looking at what is in front of you and ruling out some basic things first, and a lot of the things people describe to me when it comes to ghost hauntings also sound a helluva lot like carbon monoxide poisoning. So like sorry for giving a shit over whether or not you’re actually about to die or not I guess *shrug emoji*

Like I know we joke about my house being haunted (and maybe it is) but when the lights flicker in my house I don’t do a cleansing spell, I call an electrician. You gotta do the physical world things first before you jump to the metaphysical. That’s just how it is.

Esme Weatherwax is that you

I attended a con panel once about hauntings in Texas. The lady running the panel talked about driving down a dark road in Houston one night and seeing this figure in the headlights that was tall, looked like a hunched man standing oddly, and had eyes that reflected in her headlights. As she drove closer the figure spread massive wings and flew away.

She described it as if she saw the fuckin’ Mothman but I immediately thought (but did not say): “Bih you saw a crane.”

She also described seeing UFOs in the suburbs at night: small flying objects with spinning lights that zipped around and hovered overhead before zipping off again. To her these were alien spacecraft. My immediate thought: “Drones. Those are drones. You’re in the suburbs, where people have money and give their kids drones.”

Occam’s Razor cuts deep and true.
