You were born from the earth. You must water yourself with love and compassion, feed your soil with learning, pick out the weeds of doubt and fear, allow yourself the sunlight of quiet contemplation. You can’t just sit and wait for flowers to grow; tend to yourself, and watch how quickly you flourish.

im trying to prepare for mabon and learn about the sabbats, but ive not been able to find much of anything on how to actually pronounce their names! what are the correct/how do you say them?

Hi! These are the pronunciations I use, but they can vary a little:

Samhain - ‘Sow-in.’ ‘Sow’ is pronounced like ‘cow.’

Imbolc - ‘Im-mulk.’ The k sound is relatively soft.

Ostara - This one tends to just sound like how it is spelt.

Beltane - A lot of people tend to say ‘Bell-tane’ (including me) and no-one will judge you for this, but if you want to be ‘proper’ it’s something like ‘Beyel-tin-ah.’

Litha - Some say ‘lee-tha’ but again, no-one will judge too much if you say ‘Lith-a.’

Lughnasadh - ‘Loo-nassah.’ Can also be referred to as Lammas, which sounds the way it looks.

Mabon - ‘May-bon.’

I hope this helped you a little and I didn’t just totally butcher these pronunciations! You could also look up audio pronunciations, they might be more useful!

This can be extremely useful for beginner witches 🖤🍂

This is my new favorite hangout spot. I walked here from home with a cup of tea and my watercolor supplies. A floating dock out of the reach of sun or rain floats underneath the marina. And it has friends. 😍

Communication with Nature Spirits

When working on communication with Nature Spirits there are a few thing that are needed to communicate:

1- You need to be outdoors, I cannot stress that enough. Nature Spirits are not found in your kitchen or livingroom, unless you live outdoors yourself.

2- Have good intent. Do not ask the Spirits for material things like money or man made objects. The Spirit World has no need for these things nor do they see our need for such things.

3- Do not expect a crisp clear voice speaking in English. Communication with Nature Spirits happens through emotions. Nature Spirits are made of flowing energy, not something you might see in a fantasy sci-fi movie or book.

4- Respect is a must. Do not think that you could control or demand the Spirits to do things for you. They could feel your intentions and if questionable they will not make contact.

5- They are not Gods nor are you. When connection is made, view and communicate as if your all equal, because you are.

6- To make a connection start by relaxing and clearing your mind of modern day stresses. Meditation is a good start.

7- Then when clear, hum or sing. Not only does this practice add a ripple effect through the energy field around you, but have you ever heard the many songs upon the Wind? Communication through song is universal, so get creative and make a song that is soothing and comforting as a gentle breeze.

i’m so sick of seeing people complain about the vague notion of “too many people are just saying they’re witches to be trendy and posting aesthetics instead of real content! they’re not real witches!”

who are you to judge? who are you to decide how real a witch they are?

i don’t even share the details of my spirituality with my best friends that are witches, how can you assume you know absolutely how dedicated a stranger or even a friend is?

don’t like how someone is behaving in witchcraft? unless they’re hurting someone, either admit you’re trying to gatekeep or mind your own beeswax.
