Good afternoon Witches,

Today I want to share with you something that I have experienced and feel that maaaybe you all should try.

Listen to your gut instinct. Listen to your first instinct, when it comes to people, a problem, anything. Listen to it. You don't have to necessarily follow it, but observe it, and then see what happens after. See if you were right.

I've found that my gut instinct is really amazing.

This is magic that you can experience and help to hone with results you can see. Learn it dears.

Please stay safe, as always, and have a lovely day.

just wanted to share a little cleansing ritual that i’ve discovered works really well for me, in case any of you witches may benefit from it! 

center yourself, and then annoint the tip of an amethyst point with a drop of sage oil, and then wave it through the air, focusing your intent to cleanse your space through the end of the crystal and into the area you’re cleansing. do as much of this as feels right, in as much of your space as you feel you need to, and then thank your crystal before putting it where it belongs and going to wash your hands.

today is august first! that means it's lammas, the first harvest festival of the year. i am celebrating by eating lots of grains, and by thinking about what i'm reaping and sowing in my life.

i cannot believe that someone is mansplaining witchcraft to me, a witch

[thewitchofthewind]

buddy i've been regularly researching and practicing for going on five years. you still think wicca and witchcraft are synonyms. we are not the same.

responses to the question “you got a name?”, all of which i have used, especially whilst sleep-deprived and/or not paying attention

“i do!” followed by me not saying my name, ever, at any point

“do you?”

“i have many” no idea what i meant w/ that one like, sincerely, and that was probably deeply unnerving or at least moderately unnerving

“possibly? who knows”

“that sure is.. a question. that has an answer”

“yeah..” followed by uncomfortable laughter

Every time I think I am finally being regular with my practice, either a really bad period or something out of the blue will knock me off for a couple of weeks and somehow I am back to square one again.

[breelandwalker]

I'll beg your pardon if this is something personal, but I thought I might offer a little reassurance.

Every witch....every single one....goes through this. We all have times where we can manage a regular practice and everything seems to be going smoothly. And then life will intervene, illness will happen, things will be busy with work or school, or maybe our mental health won't be in the best place, and witchcraft will fall by the wayside for a time.

Try returning to the things that originally inspired you. Make a witchy playlist for your down days. Wear that special jewelry or that cute witchy outfit without waiting for a special occasion. Weave witchcraft into your everyday routine so that you can do it with little to no effort. Find magic in small things as well as big ones.

The important thing to remember is to be patient and be kind to yourself. Try not to get frustrated or discouraged, and whatever you do, don't give up. Things will turn around again. They always do.

And you are STILL a witch, no matter if you practice every single day or just intermittently when you can manage it. Everyone has to take breaks now and again. The craft will be waiting when you find your groove again.

Hope this helps!

What a beautiful and handy little guide! 💗😍🔮

[thewitchofthewind]

here’s a witch tip for all you beginner witches out there: always wear shoes when lighting something with a match. there’s no spiritual reason for this, just if the match flies out of your hand after you strike it you can stomp on it to put it out easily.

hi witchblr! i got my first cast iron cauldron today and i want to take really good care of it. i know you're supposed to season cast iron to protect it from rust and damage. can i season it with essential oils or are they too reactive? i only plan on using this cauldron for grinding or burning herbs. (it doubles as a mortar and pestle.) i haven't been able to find anything about essential oils on cast iron from googling. any ideas? if not i will probably use olive oil.

[thewitchofthewind]

essential oils are apparently indeed too reactive and flammable for this purpose! thank you so much for helping!! ♡♡♡

[thewitchofthewind]

update again! i learned that if you mix the essential oil into a carrier oil that's good for seasoning cast iron with, like canola, it will be okay so long as you won't be using the cauldron for anything edible. ☆

[thewitchofthewind]

i'm going to use coconut oil! :3

Witchy Tip:

If you can, when jarring stuff you’re going to use exclusively for magick, color code it. Red for non-edible, green for edible. Is that rosemary straight from the herbs and spices cabinet from the kitchen? Label it green. Oh, that’s not culinary lavender? Label it red, you gotta remember that.

And for when you’re perusing through your jars to see what things would work best for the spell you’re whipping up, it’d be very helpful if you listed the magickal and/or medicinal properties on the back of the jars beforehand. It helps save you time for those moments in life where you have to throw together a spell and you don’t have time to flip through your BoS or Google to find a spell to cast.

putting the properties on the back has also proved to be a good studying technique. It reminds me of how one studies by use of flash cards.

i just successfully worked with fire for the first time in my life!! i'm so excited and happy!!

i was looking at the flame of this delicious smelling candle i'd just lit and i noticed the way it hung onto the wick like a little globule of water. and i thought. that's interesting. fire acts kind of like water. and it... relies on air...

my most comfortable and familiar elements are water and air!!

so this candle has 3 wicks (love it) and the flame on one of them was holding very low and close to the wick, and taking my newfound understanding of what energies fire carries with it i! was able to focus on the flame and will it to stand up in a peak!! aaaa!!!! 🎉🙌✨

i've never done it before, it feels different but i was able to FIND it inside of me im soooooooo pleased!!! 😄😄😄
