Astral Projection
What is astral projection?
Astral projection is also known as an out of body experience. Astral projection can take place whether you are sleeping or awake. It is done when your conscious mind leaves your physical body on earth to a different dimension while staying connected by a silver cord. The cord makes it possible to come back to your earthly self. It enables your spirit body to explore the astral realm. It is said that Astral Projection helps you become your truest and highest self. Astral Projecting is the floating and lifting of your physical being through the use of your astral body.
Practices to Help with Astral Travel
Relax and Practice Proper Breathing techniques
Spiritually cleanse
Practice visualization
Counting up or down while focusing your breathing
Improve your concentration
Deep breathing exercises
Become Aware and Mindful
Grounding
Shielding and Protection
Intent

Work on your inner energies
Meditate
Astral Plane
A place where angels, spirits, deities, and other cosmic beings reside. It is a place where ones astral body travels through. It may also be recognized as the “emotional plane,” because the astral plane reacts to our emotions, thoughts, and desires.
The Silver Cord
The silver cord anchor’s ones astral body to their physical body. The silver cord allows you to find your way back to the physical realm. It is described as being strong, almost indestructible, yet soft and elastic that can stretch and flex to make sure that the astral body is truly tethered to the physical one.
Risks of Astral Projection
Exhaustion
Obscuring your focus causing obsession with the astral plane
Demonic Possession - A greatly debated topic, the truth of which is unknown.
You may become lost or disconnected from the cord - Some argue that you cannot severe the cord, some believe that becoming disconnected from the cord will cause death.
Conclusion: The dangers of astral projection are extremely controversial, be sure to do proper research and follow your gut!

Only travel when you have peace of mind, never when anxious or angry.
Release all fear, do not project if you are fearful of the astral plane.
STUDY

You’re hearing all sorts of strange sounds, like going through all sorts of random radio stations really fast
Your body is frozen and you can only move your eyes (“sleep paralysis”)
You’re feeling or hearing other people or animals in your room
Your body turns all liquidy like water and parts of you start floating
Your mind is spacing in and out of sleep

The Elements are the forces of Nature and life, and are incorporated into ritual and magick. Every aspect of existence is bound up in Earth, Air, Fire, and Water. And the fifth element which is Spirit (or also deemed Aether), which is present in each of the other four. Each of the four classical Elements is associated with one of the four cardinal directions; North, East, South and West.
There are also energetic associations, that add great depth to interpretations of how people with different zodiac signs interact with each other, for each sign is associated with an Element, and each Element is different.

Tapping Into Your Psychic Senses
Every single person on the planet has psychic abilities, but most people never realize that they’re using them. As Tess Whitehurst says in her book You Are Magical, “There is almost certainly something you assume that everyone can perceive that is actually a perception that is relatively unique to you.”
For example: you may be a gifted artist. Drawing and painting come naturally to you, and you have an intuitive sense of form and color. You probably know people who claim that they “don’t have an artistic bone in their body” or “can’t even draw a stick figure,” but you can’t bring yourself to believe it. Surely, those people are just psyching themselves out, because if art comes so easily to you, everyone must be able to do it to some extent, right?
Psychic abilities are similar. You’ve probably been tapping into at least one psychic sense all your life, but it feels so normal to you that you assume everyone experiences the world this way.
Once you become aware of your innate psychic abilities, you can start to harness them. For this reason, I think it’s a good idea to become familiar with (and comfortable using!) your natural psychic gifts before you try to learn any kind of divination.
Read over the following list of common psychic senses. Does one or more of them sound familiar? Once you recognize which of these you resonate with, focus on strengthening that gift over the next couple of weeks. You’ll be amazed by how easily you’re able to tap into it once you know how!
Clairvoyance: Clear Seeing
Contrary to popular opinion, the word “clairvoyance” does not describe any and all psychic abilities. Someone with clairvoyance receives psychic messages through their sense of sight. They may see these messages with their physical eyes, or see images in their mind’s eye. Seeing auras is an example of clairvoyance in action.
You may be clairvoyant if…
You often see flashes of light, blurred figures, or other visual phenomena that others do not see. [Note: This is NOT the same as visual hallucinations. Clairvoyants typically see things with their mind’s eye, not their physical eyes, and can differentiate between their visions and what is physically in front of them.]
You often experience random mental images that seem to have nothing to do with what’s going on around you.
Your meditations are primarily visual — for example, if you meditate on the element of water, you may see a bubbling fountain in your mind’s eye.
You are a visual learner.
Ways to Strengthen Clairvoyance
Keep a journal of the mental images you receive “out of nowhere.” Do these images mean anything to you? Do individual visions fit into a larger pattern?
Meditate on your chakras, and visualize each chakra in your mind’s eye, starting from the root and working up to the crown. What do your chakras look like? Are the colors bright and clear, or more faded and muddy? Are some spinning faster or slower than others? How does their appearance correspond to your life? For example, a muddy or faded sacral chakra may indicate issues around sexuality.
Do research into auras and what the different aura colors mean. Do you always seem to see or think of a certain color when you’re around a certain person? How does that color represent that person’s energy and personality? Write down your findings.
Clairaudience: Clear Hearing
Someone with clairaudience receives psychic messages through their sense of hearing. They may hear messages with their physical ears or “hear” them in their mind. A medium who hears spirits is an example of someone using clairaudience.
You may be clairaudient if…
You sometimes “hear” things in your mind, as if someone else was talking to you from inside your head. [Note: This is NOT the same as “hearing voices” or auditory hallucinations. Clairaudients usually “hear” messages with their mind, not their physical ears, and they can distinguish between psychic messages and physical, “real world” sounds.]
Sometimes, when you listen to music or watch a movie, a specific lyric or line of dialogue seems to jump out at you, as if it were a special message.
Your meditations are primarily auditory — for example, if you meditate on the element of water, you may hear a babbling brook.
You are an auditory learner.
Ways to Strengthen Clairaudience
Keep a journal of the messages you “hear” out of nowhere. Are they consistent, forming a larger pattern? Do they all seem to be “in the same voice,” or coming from the same source? (If so, this could be a deity or spirit guide reaching out to you.)
Do a meditation with the intention of holding a conversation with a helpful spirit guide. (If you are not comfortable working with spirits, you can set the intention of speaking to your inner self.) What does their voice sound like? Is it different from or similar to your own? Do they speak with an accent or have a unique inflection? Write down your thoughts.
Experiment with shufflemancy. This is a modern form of divination where you put a playlist on shuffle and receive a psychic message from the song that plays first. (You can find playlists specifically made for shufflemancy online, or make your own.) How does the song make you feel? Are there certain lyrics that jump out to you? Write down your thoughts.
Clairsentience: Clear Feeling
Someone with clairsentience feels psychic messages, either through their body or through their emotions. They may feel physical sensations, like an upset stomach, or may be very sensitive to emotional energies. Intuitively picking up on someone’s emotions without needing to ask is an example of clairsentience.
You may be clairsentient if…
You often feel physical sensations, like a hot flash or a cold chill, out of nowhere.
You are able to feel other people’s emotions — you can always tell when someone has had a bad day, even if they’re trying to hide it.
You can sense the “vibe” of a room as soon as you walk in. Do certain buildings feel “angry” or “sad” to you? Can you always tell the energy of a party even if you just arrived?
Your meditations primarily focus on tactile sensations — for example, if you meditate on the element of water, you may feel waves lapping at your feet.
Ways to Strengthen Clairsentience
Pay attention to your “gut feelings.” Do you feel a sinking sensation when thinking about something, only for it to go badly later? Do you feel a warm, fuzzy sensation thinking about something, only for it to go really well? Write down your experiences — and be honest. It’s okay if your gut feeling doesn’t always match the outcome.
Do a pathworking meditation (this is just a type of meditation that focuses on taking a mental journey) to a forest, or a beach, or some other location that appeals to you. Try to feel as many tactile sensations as possible, as if you were really there. Feel the grass or sand under your feet, feel the wind in your hair, feel the sun on your skin. Write down your experience.
Practice feeling the energy of a plant or crystal. Reach out and touch the plant/crystal, and try to feel it out. Does it have a calm, stable energy, or is it more bright and zingy? Try feeling a different plant/crystal and see how it feels different. Write down your experience.
Note: Some (but not all) clairsentients are also empaths, people who take on the emotions of others as if they were their own. All empaths are clairsentient, but not all clairsentient people are empaths. You may be an empath if you often find yourself matching the emotions of the people you’re around — you cry when they cry, laugh when they laugh, etc.
Claircognizance: Clear Knowing
Claircognizence is the gift of psychic knowing — people with this ability often “just know” things, even if they should have no way of knowing. They may know what someone is about to say before they say it, or know personal information about someone they just met.
You may be claircognizant if…
You “just know” what’s going on with your friends and family, even if they haven’t told you. For example, you may suddenly feel like you need to call your sister, only to find out after you call that she just broke up with her boyfriend.
You always know who a text is from as soon as your phone dings, or always know what song is going to play next on shuffle.
You often know things about new people as soon as you meet them, only for them to confirm it later. Did you know your friend was a vegetarian before he told you, even though you’d never shared a meal with him?
Your meditations often include “downloads” of information, where you feel like the answer to your question or some other revelation has just been dropped into your brain.
Ways to Strengthen Claircognizance
Every time your phone goes off, try to guess who the message is from. Keep a tally of how often you’re right vs. wrong.
Do a meditation with the intention of receiving the answer to a specific question. Retreat to a place of stillness and focus on your breath until the answer to the question “just comes to you.” Write down your experience.
This is a game I used to play with my sister before I knew what claircognizance was: have a friend show you a picture of someone they know, but whom you have never met before. Focus on the picture, and see if you get any info about the person — are they a jock? Do they like rock music? What’s their personality like? Get your friend to confirm or deny the info you got from the picture, and keep a tally of how often you’re right vs. wrong.
The Other Clairs
There are two other “clair” senses that are less common, so I’m not going to talk about them at length here. Clairalience, or “clear smelling,” refers to receiving psychic messages through smell. (If you smell roses out of nowhere, with no roses in sight, you may be using clairalience.) Clairgustance, or “clear tasting,” refers to receiving psychic messages through taste. (If you taste chocolate out of nowhere, you may be using claigustance.)
In my experience, these psychic senses are less common than the ones listed above. Most people I know who have clairalience or clairgustance seem to use it as a secondary sense, in addition to a primary sense like clairvoyance or clairsentience.
Conclusion
You are probably using at least one of these psychic senses every day, without even knowing it. Most people have two to three “main” psychic senses, but some may regularly and easily use all of them. For example, my primary psychic senses are clairsentience and claircognizance, but I also find myself receiving messages through clairaudience fairly often. It’s rare for me to receive clairvoyant messages, but it has happened.
Once you’ve identified the psychic senses that you naturally lean towards, you can begin to develop and strengthen them.

Sun Phases and Magickal Uses
Just like the Moon, the Sun goes through phases, though He goes through all of his phases in one day. Here is a guide to working with the Sun and His phases for magickal workings.
The Infant or Young Child Sun
Magickal Workings: This phase of the Sun occurs at Dawn (sunrise to about 9am), and is corresponded to the East where the sun rises in the morning. Because it is the beginning of the day, it is corresponded to new beginnings, fresh starts, and change. This is a great time to start a new venture, change an old habit that no longer serves you, or even rekindle the flame of something that has past.
Connecting to this Phase: This Sun Phase is a representation of a child and His reckless abandon. He sees the world through new eyes as He was just born at sunrise, and seeks new adventures and possibilities. He has all the possibilities in the world laid out before him. Activities for connecting to this phase include ruminating on childhood memories, making a list of things that remind you of childhood, drawing, and skipping stones.
The Adolescent Brother or Lover Sun
Magickal Workings: This phase of the Sun occurs after Dawn but before Noon (9am to 11am). This is a time for growth and expansion, just as the Sun grows in strength and warmth throughout the day. This phase is also called the Lover Sun because this is when He is at his sexual peak, discovering sexuality and forging new relationships. This is the time to work magick of increase, expansion, growth, matters of love, and matters of money.
Connecting to this Phase: To connect with this phase, one must connect to their teenage years. This is a time when He is invincible, the whole world laid out in front of Him. He discovers sex for the first time, and likes it. He fiercely defends what he believes in. Ask or take someone out on a date, defend a friend in an argument, hang out with old friends, tell a joke, or kiss someone at the movies to connect to this phase.
The Father Sun
Magickal Workings: This phase of the Sun occurs at Noon (11am to 2pm) when the Sun is at his strongest. This phase is corresponded to the Full Moon, when the powers of the Goddess are the most powerful. Like the Full Moon, the Father Sun at Noon is a time when almost any magickal workings can be performed. It is a particularly good time to charge items, use healing magick, or perform any rites that need a little extra illumination.
Connecting to this Phase: To connect with this phase, ruminate on the idea of fatherhood. This doesn’t have to mean you are a father or parent, it more has to do with the concept of family. Think about your own parents and their effect on you, and perhaps your own goals should you become a parent. Activities include spending quality time with children in your life, volunteer at a children’s organization, provide mentorship to a child, or visit a children’s hospital.
The Sage or Warrior Sun
Magickal Workings: This phase of the Sun occurs after Noon but before Sunset (1pm to 3pm). This phase is not like the Waning Moon, which is good for banishment and endings. The Sage Sun instead is a great at strategizing. He knows both wisdom and strength, which comes out in the form of solid advice and clear communication. This is a good time to think ahead and strategize for what is to come. Perform magickal rites during this time when you seek clarity or are making a big life decision and need a little extra help.
Connecting to this Phase: Connecting to this phase involves facing the difficult times in your life. Look back on what your personal problems are and think them through carefully. What do you need to do to remedy these things? What path do you need to take? Activities include making To-Do Lists, writing an emergency plan, planning finances, and making plans.
The Grandfather or Sacrificial Sun
Magickal Workings: This Phase of the Sun occurs at Sunset (3pm to Sunset). This Sun Phase lines up with the Waning Moon phase, and is a time of celebration and release. We look back on what we have achieved, and celebrate them. This is also a time when we let go of what no longer serves us, and start anew the next day with the Infant Sun. Magickal workings for this phase include banishment, release, tie up loose ends, and eradicating stress and poor health.
Connecting to this Phase: Connecting to this phase is difficult for many, because it forces us to look inside ourselves and pick apart the things we don’t like. The Grandfather Sun looks back on his life and sees all the things he has accomplished and failed. He celebrates the accomplishments, and releases the failures. Activities for this phase include decluttering your personal items, writing a will, sharing memories with friends and family, and banishing guilt.

Ok, so I get a lot of shit for calling low level spells weaker or low level, so here's a guide to actually crafting powerful spells.
What you need to know right off the bat is that you're layering powers on each other, and if you draw on more powers, you generally get better results. Now, there is some level of balance to this, as doing too much can muddle the intent of your spell, but the "too much" threshold is going to be something you learn to use intuition to find for yourself.
So, let's begin! Here are components of your spells to layer on top of each other
The most basic, your ingredients: what are the correspondences of your oils, waters, herbs, candles, and stones?
The time you do it: what day are you doing it? What phase is the moon in? Where are the planets? What day of the week are you doing it?
Location: Are you doing it in the woods? Near a river? Can the light of the moon touch you? What cardinal direction are you facing?
Visualization: While I don't believe intent alone is the driving force behind all magical works, that doesn't mean mental pursuits during your spell work are worthless. Visualization can be an incredibly powerful layer in your spells. What does the magic you're controlling look like? What is it doing?
Who you call on: Will you petition deities, spirits, ancestors, or fae for power? How will you do this?
Symbols: What shapes are your stones? Did you use runes or alchemical symbols? Did you make a sigil? How are your symbols incorporated into the spell?
Energy: Where are you getting the power for the spell? Yourself? The earth? A charged crystal? The spirits you petitioned?
Repetition: How many times has this spell or ritual been done before? An old spell has a lot of power behind it due to the sheer amount of times it has been used. Additionally, how many times do you perform an action or speak an incantation in the spell?
Incantation: what are you saying? Are you speaking to an entity or the earth itself? What language is the incantation in? Is the language related to who or what you're petitioning or is it just the language it was first written in?
Numbers: How many ingredients are you using? How many times will you perform an action? How many crystals/flowers/spoonfuls/candles/etc will you use? Numbers have correspondences.
Colors: Colors have correspondences too. What color is your candle? Your ink?
Tools: What tools are you using? How have those tools been powered or charmed? What have you used them for previously? How old are they? What energies power them?
Traditions: What traditions are you using? Where did the correspondences you use come from? If you're mixing traditions, do those traditions mix well? I do some amount of brauchery, and it doesn't play well with other traditions.
Order: What order do you do things in your spell? Which way do you stir? Do you petition spirits before the spell or during it?
And finally: intent and will. Yes, I'm not a fan of this stuff because tumblr sees it as the end all, be all. However, your intent will guide the way the spell goes, and your willpower is going to get you through anything tricky. YOU have to have the power and knowledge to make the spell work. If you're in a place that is specifically yours (like your house) you have sovereignty and your willpower will decide whether or not entities in the area respect that sovereignty. I could talk for a long time on this but I won't because this passage isn't the whole point of the post
To conclude:
Hopefully this illustrates why a cup of tea isn't the greatest spell when it only includes ingredients and maybe some intent. I know I probably didn't get every component you can add to a spell, but hopefully I got most of it.
Hope this helps someone out there!
Recently I’ve come into conflict with a fellow local witch who believes that witchcraft is intrinsically tied to femininity and womanhood and that that the only reason men practice is because of their sexuality and feminine aspects. I tried in vain to explain that while witchcraft has been linked very closely with women and has been an escape and saviour for women throughout history, it is not an exclusively female practice. If anyone could send me examples of masculine energy in their craft or male witches they know that would be amazing as I’m fairly rural with not many witches in my town. Thankyou!

Thank you, sweet Apollo, for doing your best for us in this time sickness. Thank you for working tirelessly to save as many of us as you can.
Please give Apollo some extra love these next couple months, he is grieving for the losses we face as a world, and he is trying his hardest to save us 🖤
ATTENTION WITCHES/WICCANS/PAGANS!
Witchtok is saying that a group of baby witches or someone specific has hexed the moon, Apollo, and Artemis! Witches are confirming that Gods and Goddesses are in a bad mood, other weird phenomena are happening that could be linked to this action. Whether this is for sure or not, please send as much positive energy to these beings, do whatever you can to lessen the hex’s affect!! If you work with Apollo or Artemis, or any Gods and Goddesses of the moon, please check in with them! We can’t allow this kind of harm being done to our family, to Mother Nature. – I’ll try to get my coven involved in this, maybe we can organize something for the next full moon as a community to cancel out the negative energies. Please spread the word! If you’ve experienced any weird phenomena or experiences with deities/energy please share!
@lordupdog
I’ve heard that they’ve also hexed the fae, the damn fools.
Could you please reblog this if you are a witch who isn’t Wiccan?
