My Daily Witchy Routine ✨📓🧘🏻‍♀️🌜

So during Quarantine I’ve found it rather hard to keep motivated, like doing chores, my work and even my spirituality/craft.

I’ve decided to change how I’m doing things, and have come up with a daily routine, which may help some of you and I’d like to share it ☺️✨

1. Write a list of things you need to do in the day 📝

✍🏻Writing a list of the things you need to do daily really helps me keep on top of things, I enjoy ticking them off after completing them as there is a feeling of accomplishment when you finish a task.

2. Wake up at reasonable time and actually get dressed ⏰ 👚

Waking up late sometimes is needed, but right now getting up late is becoming a bad habit, I’ve started getting up around 9am and I get dressed in the clothes I would usually go about my day in. Just wearing comfy/bed clothes is great but not all the time, I felt demotivated and felt like I wanted to go back to sleep 😴 so make sure to get dressed.

3. Do something relaxing 😌

Relax, it was something that I was NOT doing, but I realise now that stressing at a time like this is not a good thing to be doing, and yes I know that sometimes you can’t help it but try and fill your day with relaxing but rewarding activities such as -

Yoga 🧘🏼‍♂️

Meditation 🧘🏻‍♀️

Playing a game 🎮

Listening to your favourite music 🎶

Watching a film 🍿

Going for a walk (government approved of course!!)

Having a bath 🛀

Reading 📖

Writing ✍🏻

Arts and crafts 🖼

4. Remember to eat at the right times!! 🥗🍜🍝🥘

Try and eat 3 meals a day, I know the concept of time is hard right now but eat breakfast, lunch and dinner as usual, I would skip meals, and feel awful for it afterwards, so stay as healthy as you can 🥞🥪

5. Stay hydrated!!

Drink water !!! H20!!💧stay hydrated by drinking at least a few glasses of water a day, some tea and whatever else you may fancy. I’ve started drinking more water and I find it has helped me feel more refreshed and awake, coffee is great but don’t over do it ☕️💧

6. Do a daily tarot card reading

Pulling just a daily card, every morning is a great way to connect with your decks and to continue learning about tarot. Also seeing what the outlook of your day will be is useful to know✨🔮

7. Clean and cleanse your space ✨

Remember to keep your environment as clean and de-cluttered as possible, and also cleansing your space with incense, sage, rosemary, or a cleansing spray. A clean environment really does help you get motivated. 🧹 🧼

8. Don’t be hard on yourself ☺️

Don’t beat yourself up over how you are feeling or how you choose to cope during this strange time, it’s okay to feel sad or demotivated sometimes, but you should never be hard on yourself for your emotions - we are all human, it’s okay ❤️😌

I hope this helps in some way, stay strong everyone❤️☺️✨

Pagan Holiday Ritual Template (Simple)

What is a ritual?

According to my definition and understanding, a ritual is simply a religious/spiritual celebration or the fancy word for a spiritual work. What makes it special is its structure and mixture of verbal and physical acts.

1.) Preparing the space

Both physical and spiritual cleaning should be done before a ritual. We are supposed to feel safe and relaxed in the place where we are going to perform a ritual. I believe it is pretty obvious how physical cleaning is performed (vacuuming the floor, wiping dust etc.). However, spiritual cleaning, that is cleansing is usually done by sprinkling some salt, or (salty) water or it is done by going around with an incense a.k.a smoke cleansing - my favourite. There are some other ways too, but these are the most common ones. The goal of cleansing is to remove any unwanted energies from the space. When it comes to my experience, since I perform my rituals at my home, I actually do not have a problem with negative energies but I still do the spiritual cleansing because it sets me in the mood for a ritual. If I am outdoors, however, then I usually leave some small offering for the natural world instead of cleansing, because I believe that the nature is actually pure in that sense.

2.) Self-cleansing

As we prepare our space, we also have to prepare ourselves for the ritual. This can be done by taking a shower or a bath, smoke cleansing, short meditation, short walk in nature etc. After this, we are supposed to be mentally and physically ready for what is to come.

3.) Drawing a sacred circle

Although this practice comes from Ceremonial Magic and Wicca, I like to use it as a part of my ritual structure. A sacred circle is supposed to be an energetic barrier, a ward that blocks unwanted energies and a place where wanted energies easily stay. From my point of view, a sacred circle is the border of my sacred space - as churches, mosques etc. have walls which determine a holy and special place in them, I have the sacred circle. The circle also reminds me on Stonehenge or a forest grove, so that is one reason more why I like to use it in my spiritual practice.

4.) Invocation

The word invocation comes from the Latin verb invocare, which means "to call on", "to beg for", "to cite". In this part deities, ancestors and the other beings could be invited to join the ritual. When I say "invite", I must say that so far I have never experienced anything supernatural (nor I have such expectations - at least not anymore) but this step is important for me because I believe that deities and ancestors are going to pay much more attention to me and to what I am going to say. I also like the gest of acknowledging that they are welcome in my sacred and special place.

5.) Celebration

This part of a ritual is what could be called a classic religious celebration. At this stage I usually firstly pray to the deities and my ancestors, then I put on some appropriate music, I contemplate about things that are related to the holiday I am celebrating, I do some divination etc. It is my favourite part of a ritual because it is the most informal - I can freely enjoy in all the beauty of my pagan path and practice.

6.) Feast

The Feast is a part of the ritual where food and drink is being consumed in deities' or someone else's honor. This is the time for the offerings.

7.) Closing

This is the end of a ritual. A farewell is bid to the deities, ancestors and the other beings, if they were called, and the sacred circle is being closed.

Note: This template is how I do my rituals. Not everyone's rituals must or should look like this - that is mostly why I wrote a lot of my thoughts and experiences, to maintain the subjectivity of this template. I hope some of you will find it useful for your spiritual/religious practice.

What Native people say about the use of sage: you can use sage, but you cannot smudge as nothing you are doing (waving sage around) is actually smudging. Smudging is a ceremony and you are, we promise, not smudging. Please buy sage from either us, or someone who sources the sage from us. White sage may not be considered endangered by the US government but corperate sourcing is making it difficult for us to source sage for our own religious purposes. Let alone to sell it.

What white people hear: never use sage ever, don’t ever buy it, don’t own it, don’t even look at it.

Look, y’all. There’s a couple of facets to my talk today.

1) Yes! You can buy sage! You really, truly can! Buy it from either native sellers (go to a powwow! Eat our food, buy our stuff, watch some dancing!) Or buy it from a seller who sources the sage from native people. Pick one. And no, buying it from 5 Below doesn’t count.

2) you CANNOT smudge. This isn’t just you “shouldn’t”— this is a YOU ARE INCAPABLE OF SMUDGING. Waving a sage stick around your doorways IS NOT SMUDGING. It is smoke clensing. Smudging, depending on the tradition and tribe, could easily have dancing and drums involved. You, as a white person, do not have the cultural BACKGROUND to even know how it works. At all. Period.

3) please, for FUCKS SAKE, stop making posts here on tumblr where you tell other white people about cultural appropriation and what they can and cannot do. Please stop, your license has been revoked because none of you bother to get the facts right. We native people are FULLY CAPABLE OF DOING IT OURSELVES. Consider instead: a) reblogging our posts where we talk about it! We’re here! We have made posts!! b) Making a post that states what we said and then LINKS BACK TO US. Screenshot with a link if you must. Stop centering your own voices in these conversations. You are already centered in everything, stop centering yourselves in a native space.

I’m tired of this nonsense, y’all.

Thanks for coming to my TedTalk ™

Warding

What is warding? Warding is a form of protection magic. Warding is very important to keep negativity out of your space. This applies to negative energies, entities, and potential spiritual attacks. Spiritual attacks are not common but can happen and it is honestly best to be prepared.

A ward is a barrier you put up around your space and your self to protect from negativity. This can be done in countless different ways. Finding proper information as a novice practitioner on how to ward your space can be very difficult.

How can I ward? Warding can be as simple or as complicated as you wish for it to be. There are countless different types of wards with differing levels of complexity. If you are not someone who deals with entities regularly or you are not expecting any psychic attacks from other practitioners then simple warding should work perfectly fine. However, you can do any kind of warding you deem necessary, it is always better to over protect than under protect in my opinion.

Small list of simple wards: Mix together moon water and black salt, use a paint brush to draw Xs over your windows doors and mirrors.

Enchant your wind chimes as protection charms that will sound cleanse your space when the wind blows through them.

Draw sigils on walls, doors, or windows in clear nail polish or protection oils.

Draw a protective sigil under your welcome mat and on your sidewalk in chalk.

Place small protection spell jars around your home.

Place protective crystals around your home and in windowsills. Just make sure the crystals you put in your windowsills will not fade from over exposure to sunlight.

Place a thorny branch on your door step, cleanse and replace it if it disappears.

Grow protective herbs in your garden.

Water house plants with moon water and feed them crushed egg shells, decorate the plant pots with protective sigils.

Draw or sew in sigils into pet collars. Enchant the bell on your cats collar. Enchant the collar its self. 

Turn house hold jar candles used for smell into protection spell candles by carving sigils into the wax and putting protective herbs in them. Light them for smell or when you need more protection.

Draw sigils on the underside of dresser drawers.

Wipe down doorways with moon water or protection oils.

Draw protection sigils inside your mask so when you leave home you are protected.

Draw sigils on the backs of picture frames hanging on your walls.

Enchant makeup products to become protection charms before applying makeup.

Put sigils in your phone case to ward your self when you go out.

Carve small protective sigils into your deodorant stick.

If you are an artist use moon water to active water color paints or to water down acrylics. This will enchant your art work and make it into something that can be used as a protection charm for your home.

I trust you so much because you're a traditional witch but such a modern girl! You know the balance between the right path of the witch and what's it's like to live a realistic life today. Just wanted to put it out there. :) My question, Lady Diana, is about the upcoming New Year. Any customs your family does to welcome the year ahead? I read about your Major Arcana Grand Tableau and I'm so excited to perform it! But I don't mean divination or even spells, but little fun and meaningful customs?

Pagan New Year’s Eve Customs

My extended family being a mixture of pagan witches, Catholic witches, superstitious agnostics, and open-minded atheists, we have very different practices. But here are the ones that are common among us.

A Fully Lit House

At the turn of the year, every single light inside the house – including the ones in the closets, as well as the candles in our altars – should be lit. Light attracts abundance, and every corner of the house should be able to receive it.

Coin-Filled Pockets

We believe that your state of mind and state of being when the clock strikes 12 will define your state for the entire year ahead. So pockets filled with coins on New Year’s Eve means assured prosperity for you in the next 12 months.

Jumping at Midnight

Something only the children do. With coins spilling out of their pockets, they jump up and down during the first minute of the New Year. So that they can grow tall, strong and agile. No one really believes this one, but it’s fun, so kids do it.

Uncaged Pets

Dogs, cats and birds should be unleashed or uncaged. Because everyone in the house should be free when the clock strikes 12. This sends away any oppressive energy, setting the tone for the year. Don’t worry. Our birds always come home.

Open Windows

Speaking of bad energy, its opposite should be invited in. So we leave all the windows open. Ideally, all doors and gates should be open too. But some of us live in condominiums instead of houses, so not all of us can do that.

Deep Cleaning

While we have housemaids, and hire professional carpet, curtain and ceiling cleaners during the year, on the eve of New Year’s Eve, we do it ourselves. Residents must use their own hands to clear their home of any of the past year’s negativity.

The Guest

We should always have a guest. Or more. Someone to feed. Someone to entertain. Someone to cater to. Because if we exude generosity at the start of the year, it will come back to us if we ever find ourselves in need of it.

12 Round Fruits

The New Year’s Eve feast should include 12 round fruits. Watermelons, oranges, grapes, and nine others like them. The round shape mimics that of gold coins, and 12 represents 12 months. They attract prosperity all year long.

The Witches' Circle Amino

Witches of all paths and experience are welcome here.

Does anyone else use the Witches Circle amino? I like the community but I’m too afraid to post anything because I don’t want to violate the guidelines lol. Let me know if you’re a witch and you use it (or even if youre not a witch and use it lol) and I’ll add you as a friend! I’m a,ways eager to make more witchy friends!

a few witchy tips

•collect salt packets from restaurants/cafes. you can do so much with these things
•set up a cleansing and charging station. arrange crystals in a pattern that draws energy out of an object, put out a bowl of salt & various herbs, have a bottle of (moon) water at the ready, or whatever cleansing method you prefer. this way if you ever need to get clogged up or negative energy out of a crystal, pendulum, or any object, you can quickly cleanse it and charge it with positive energy.
•if you practice astrology, have a folder in your notes app with friends & families star signs or birth charts for easy access
•for those who wear bra’s or bralettes, put a salt packet in the left of your bra and switch it out at the end of the day. having the salt close to your heart all day will aid in emotional cleansing, so its great for a witch with mental illness or anxiety, or getting over someone. doing this everyday has helped me SO much. its so clever. •draw or paint any sigils/ruins/witchy symbols on the soles of your shoes or anywhere else on your shoe (or draw sigils onto tape if u don’t want to draw on your shoe). the dirt & water coming into contact with your shoe will charge the sigils and send the energy out into the world and into the wearer, and the kinetic energy from walking and running will charge the sigil aswell. grounding sigils will work particularly well for this tip. •save binural beats, meditation music, or chakra balancing music onto your phone and use it as an aid to meditate on the bus, train, school, or work.
