witchy reminder ~ for myself and for others who may need it
typing this on my phone at 02:00 in the morning without my glasses on. spelling and grammar mistakes beware
not everything needs to have a reason!
sometimes you don’t need a historically backed up reason to use an herb or an element in your spell. you don’t always need to have paragraphs of reasons why XYZ corresponds with a certain intention or purpose.
of course, using ingredients with rich histories and thorough explanations is great and i highly recommend it, but also sometimes it’s equally as good to just do something because it feels right for you!
research is ultra-mega important, but so is listening to your gut instinct.
if you want to use an ingredient in a spell for no other reason than “idk i just think it’ll go well”, do it!
you may come to learn that ingredient is highly successful in that type of spell. or, you may learn that type of ingredient is not so successful. either way, you’ll learn something new, and isn’t that one of the main points of life?
