To Ward the Home

Ward your home from ill presences and negative energies. Find a flat stone, the size of your fist. The stone represents the Earth, your home. Clean it with water and empower it. Thus:

Speaking the words below, repeatedly, pass the stone over the smoke of a burning incense and then over the flame of a candle. Drip a few drops of the candle’s wax on the surface of the stone. Anoint the stone with an oil from any protective herbs.

“By air, by fire, By water, by earth,

By smoke, by flame, By oil, by dirt,

By breath, by wax, By tears, by stone.

I conjure ye, Protect my home.”

Keep the stone in the heart of your home.

May You Finally Learn of the Pain You Have Caused

Several of my friends and I have been plagued by some rather unsavory people. Many times I suggested cursing, but always while I was extremely angry and not thinking very well. After calming down tonight we discussed a much milder spell that simply makes people acutely aware of the pain and anger they have caused, and to not forget it for quite some time.

Supplies:

One red (or any color you associate with anger) candle.

A candle holder.

A small bowl, preferably in a color that you feel connected to (I used an orange one).

Some water (I used some from a bottle I happened to have. Since I live in the desert and have to hide what I do, moon, rain, sea, and storm water isn’t exactly something I can use, but if you have something that works for you, use that).

A lighter.

A smallish piece of paper.

A black pen.

A red pen.

A smallish length of string.

Any stones, candles, music, etc. that may enhance your powers.

Prep:

Clean the area of anything you don’t want to be contaminated with angry energy. Remove any clothes or jewelry you don’t want contaminated, either.

Collect whatever you use to cleanse yourself, your tools, and the area around you after working with bad energy.

Write out what the person has done to you with the black pen I recommend writing it in a way that flows most naturally to you. If you’e an eloquent motherfucker, write some bomb-ass poetry. If you feel more comfortable writing “u fucked up my shit,” by all means write that out. Just make sure it feels Right (revision may be needed). End it with “May you finally learn of the pain you have caused.” Then, write their name or whatever you most know them as (like “Asshole” or “Vomit-Filled Condom”) above it in red.

Do whatever you do before casting a spell-cast a circle, light a candle, etc.

Turn off/put away anything that might distract you, then turn off the light(s).

Getting This Show on the Road:

Sit with the empty bowl in front of you, with the candle behind it.

Light the candle, then pour the water into the bowl. You might want to visualize this person’s ill will seeping into the water as it pours into the bowl.

Gently dip your fingers into the bowl, and begin envisioning the subject as best as you can.

Speak their name, then say “You are guilty of…” and then read off what you have written.

Close your eyes and imagine all the bad things they’ve made you feel circling them, faster and faster.

Say “This is what you have done,” then roll up the paper,wrinkling it a little. Tie it as tight as possible wit the string. Say “May you never forget it/May you remember this for X amount of time/whatever you see fit.”

Close your eyes again, imagining all your pain, anger, anxiety, etc. crashing into them, then blow out your candle.

Store the roll of paper. I recommend not throwing it away, in case you want to end the spell sooner, or intensify it. If you’re confident in what you’ve done though, dispose of it in any way you choose.

Do whatever you need to do to cleanse yourself, your tools, and the area around you.Then, treat yo’self. You deserve it.

I wrote this spell with the intention of casting it on someone that’s REALLY pissed me off. Not because they cut me off while driving or some shit, but because they have seriously hurt me or someone I care about. Please keep this in mind as you consider doing this.

The Great Goddess Hecate (Hekate)

Who is Hecate? She is the Goddess of Witchcraft, Necromancy, Ghosts, Magic, and, in some instances, the Night, Darkness, The Mist, and Moon. For some She is also the goddess of motherhood, protection, and the sea. She is a Hellenic deity, born of the Titans Asteria and Perses. There’s a few beliefs circling around Her being a crone goddess or a Triple Goddess, but those are modern and neopagan beliefs—which She predates. I also consider Her to be a part of the Chthonic deities.

Symbology: Black dogs, Wolves, Keys, Torches, Flames, Torches, Crossroads, Serpents, Daggers, Birds of Prey (crows, ravens, owls), the Moon, witchcraft tools (such as cauldrons, tarot, athames)

Offerings & Devotional Acts for Her:

Figurines of any of Her symbols

keys, skeleton keys, lockets

fire witchcraft and candles, flames, matchsticks

dedicating any lunar or symbolic jewelry to Her

black/dark crystals such as obsidian and onyx

nocturnal animal imagery

black/cool colored glitter

baneful/poisonous herbs and plants

pomegranates/berries (She seems to really like blackberries)

dark blend wines

honey, cinnamon, poppy seeds, chocolates (dark)

mugwort, lavender, roses, jasmine, dragon’s blood

bones and feathers from birds of prey (please check your local laws about obtaining these)

pinpricks of blood (please DO NOT attempt this if you struggle with self harm/etc, blood magic is particularly strong and isn’t for everyone. She will understand if you cannot offer that to her).

Taking midnight walks, setting up altars and rituals at crossroads, paying respects to the dead and practicing your craft in a cemetery 

Any playlists, poems, literature, whether it be your own or just a piece you associate with Her, also make wonderful offerings. 

Lunar Influences & Connections: Reaching out to Hecate tends to work best at night, and really any time the moon is at it’s peak. The Witching Hours, midnight to 3A.M., during strong lunar influences (blue moons, blood moons, eclipses, new moons, etc) all hold strong bonds with Hecate. Also, any time it is particularly foggy or your surroundings are covered in a mist is a good time to try to connect with Her.

Disclaimer: These are correspondences that have been gathered through my personal experiences working through my craft with Her. If you find She responds better to different offerings/during different times, by all means, stick to it! Your bond with Her is your own and should be cultivated in whichever way works best for you and Her. Thank You!

Hi, I'm new to witchcraft and I know the Mabon starts today, do know how to celebrate it? If not, is there somewhere you can direct me to? I know I can look it up but I was hoping to hear it from an experienced witch😊

Hello, friend! Here’s a basic rundown of the holiday and how you might want to celebrate it!

What is Mabon?

Mabon is the second harvest festival of the Wheel of the Year, and it corresponds with the Autumn Equinox. However, some witches opt to celebrate Mabon for the entire week surrounding the equinox, not just the day itself. It is a celebration of the Autumn season, of what we have gained through our hard work, and of the abundance that fills our lives. It is also a time for contemplation of and preparation for the Dark Half of the year and the coming winter.

When is Mabon?

The Autumn Equinox is officially on September 23, 2019. However, Mabon can be celebrated any time between September 21 and September 29.

How Do You Celebrate Mabon?

How you celebrate will really depend on your personal practice, but common activities are:

Honoring deities associated with the harvest through prayer, ritual, and offerings

Expressing gratitude for what you have

Spending time in nature to observe the subtle changes of the seasons shifting

Casting spells and/or performing rituals for prosperity and protection

Honoring and giving offerings to the ancestors

Spending time with friends, family, and other loved ones

Having a grand feast

Decorating your altar with season-appropriate items

Clean and cleanse your personal space

I wish you a lovely and abundant first Mabon!

Intimacy Journal Prompts

I recently started an intimacy journal as a way to work through some of my hang ups with intimacy/sexuality - so, naturally, I came up with some prompts for it, which I have yet to really delve into myself, but I figured I’d go ahead and share the ones I’ve come up with thus far for safe-keeping, and because I think some of you might find them useful, too. 

This particular set focuses on the sexual/romantic aspect of intimacy more so than the general human connection aspect, and it’s very much geared toward art journaling in addition to written journaling.

What is intimacy to you?

Illustrate intimacy.

List some non-sexual acts of intimacy.

Describe your idea of a fulfilling intimate encounter. 

What does sex mean to you?

Illustrate sexuality/eroticism.

Illustrate femininity/yonic energy.

Illustrate masculinity/phallic energy.

List some turn-ons and/or fantasies.

Describe your idea of a fulfilling sexual encounter. 

Illustrate a vagina.

Illustrate a penis. 

Illustrate orgasm. 

What is love to you?

Illustrate love.

Illustrate your and/or an ideal lover.

Illustrate yourself in all your vulnerability.

List some varying acts of love. 

Describe your idea of a fulfilling partnership.

In what ways can you cultivate more intimacy in your life in general and/or relationships in particular? 

Disclaimer: Please bear in mind that I created these for personal use - they’re not meant to exclude anyone or in any way imply that intimacy cannot be experienced outside the bounds of sexuality.

True Void Energy Intro

Disclaimer: Please take into account that all of this is UPG (Unverified Personal Gnosis). My experiences working with Void entities are deeply personal and might not reflect your own experiences.

Having addressed this, I will jump right into it and talk a bit about Void energy.

Many people seem to think that all Void energy is the same. Outer space and emptiness are talked about as if they are interchangeable or equivalent. In my experience, this is definitely not the case. While there might be similarities between Outer Space Void and what I call “True Void”, there are also some very evident differences. In my case, I work with True Void entities primarily, and the things I will be discussing throughout this series are relating to and can usually only be applied or generalized to True Void spirits & energy.

Where can I find it?

True Void energy is most frequently found in True Void spaces in the astral (however, it surrounds us in negligible quantities no matter where we are). It also tends to congregate in liminal spaces, in places of transition, and in areas that have been abandoned or dead for a long time.

What are its uses?

While True Void energy harnessed by a skilled energy worker can do everything from healing to serious offensive damage, the most common uses for True Void energy that I have witnessed are Void-walking (traveling from one destination to another through Void spaces) and a derivative of shadow work. (I say a derivative of shadow work because commonly, shadow work is about acceptance or working with the shadow-self. True Void Shadow Work involves the manipulation of Void energy to control darkness/shadows).

Description:

In terms of a specific description, True Void energy has a magnetizing quality to it that is difficult to put into words or understand unless you have worked with it before. This energy is incredibly adaptable. Oftentimes, it will take on the qualities of surrounding energy. For example, if Void energy is found in an astral space heavily populated by fire elementals, it might acquire the same properties as the energy they give off. It might become warmer, more volatile, and also easier to handle.

Yet, Void energy would still remain unmistakably….voidy. You’d still feel an underlying dark, cold pull towards it. It’d still be inexplicably heavy in your hands despite appearing almost insubstantial. Handling it for an extended of period of time would still leave you with the odd impression of frostbite dancing on your fingertips.

Working with it:

Working with True Void energy might leave you feeling ill or drained (especially if you are not “aligned” with it). Handling this type of energy is much more difficult for humans than handling other energy sources, due to the fact that most living things are not compatible with it.

Added to this, Void energy has the interesting property of “taking” from its non-native users (especially if they are not highly proficient at energy manipulation and knowledgeable of Void energy specifically). For an unprepared energy worker, it might replicate the effects of an energy parasite. These effects (physical, emotional, and energetic) might be felt for days after having worked with it. Think of it like a really terrible hangover.

My belief as to why True Void energy has this specific effect on things is that it tends to consume what is in its path in an effort to return it to a balanced, chaotic state. However, this does not mean that True Void energy is inherently evil. Additionally, it does not fit into the more common energy alignments of “Light” or “Dark”. Rather, it appears to have its own special classification.

Compatible alignments:

Void energy generally tends to attract parasites. From what I have seen, it doesn’t seem to have the same negative impact on parasitic entities as it does on other creatures. One explanation for this could be that parasitic entities have evolved and adapted to hide in True Void spaces to protect themselves. Alternatively, it is possible that they still experience negative effects, but are more resilient and able to endure longer exposure to True Void than other species.

Another True-Void “tolerant” energy alignment would be Death energy. Death workers like reapers and grims tend to be relatively comfortable in the presence of True Void energy.

Nature spirits, fae spirits, light-aligned spirits, and “livelier” energy-aligned beings, on the other hand, might find True Void to be repulsive. They might also feel particularly affected by its draining qualities. The nature entities that I have encountered generally tend to show a dislike for True Void energy workers.

Demonic entities (especially hellborn demonic entities) also appear to have a particular distaste for True Void. They might react aggressively or go out of their way to avoid encountering True Void entities. This seems to stem from a historical event that placed hellborn demonic spirits against True Void entities (and/or energy). While I am not privy to the details of this event at the moment, I will continue to update the series as I gain more insight into the situation.

This has been my intro to Void energy! In the future, I hope to discuss more about True Void entities, their culture, and my personal experiences working with them.

It’s been all fun and games with me and my tarot cards, but lately I’ve been craving some depth. Some darkness. Some shadow work.

And while that’s not very May-esque, shadows don’t confine themselves to darkness, now do they?

So here is a little challenge if you would like to join in with me. I’ll be using tarot, but oracle cards will work just as well, or a combination therein. Most of the days will be one card pulls, but there are some two and three card questions as well. Feel free to pull more cards if desired.

Many of the questions ask “why” as well as the main question. For the “why” questions, I like to look at the card on the bottom of my deck for the answer.

Feel free to share or do this in private, everyone has their own needs when it comes to personal insights, I’m not going to tell you what to do with yours. Use the tag #shadow of may if you would like to share with us. Starts May 1st.

How do I feel about the idea of “love”?

How do I express love?

How do I treat others | How do I treat myself?

What does “self love” mean to me?

How am I right now?

What am I thinking and feeling? How is my environment?

How do I feel about being alone? Why?

What can solitude help me with?

How do I feel about solitude | How do I feel about loneliness?

What three things makes me happy?

What is limiting my happiness? Why?

How do I deal with criticism?

Where do I gain my confidence?

What do I minimize about myself? What do I flaunt?

How do I perceive pain?

How do others’ pain affect me?

The Many Different Colors of Death: The Symbolism of Santa Muerte

Each different aspect of Santa Muerte is depicted as a skeleton wearing a robe of her respective color. In the case of a seven-color statue, all seven colors are displayed; below these colors are listed in the order they appear from top to bottom on a typical seven-colored statue: White: This color of Santa Muerte is used principally for purification and is called on at the inception of major projects, both mundane and magical. She is also used for certain types of healing.

Blue: This color of Santa Muerte is the patroness of the activities of daily living and the relationships on which our lives depend. This aspect increases social wisdom and increases patience. She is used to build long-term relationships and so is used to repair broken family ties, improve business partnerships, and gain new friends.

Green: This color of Santa Muerte is associated with justice, ethics, and law. She helps restore balance, imposes fairness, and can affect the judgement of both law courts and your peers. Because many people who pass through the criminal justice system are affected by addiction and mental illness, the green aspect of Santa Muerte is petitioned for issues resolving behavioral health issues.

Gold: Mining gold from deep within the ground is a dangerous occupation that can easily maim or kill; many gods of the underworld are associated with wealth and money for this reason, since mining was seen as taking gold from the pockets of the gods. As a goddess of the underworld, Santa Muerte has this relationship with money, and through it, vitality. The golden Santa Muerte is used to attract money and luck, create fortune in gambling and business, and heal where infusions of vitality are needed.

Red: The red aspect of Santa Muerte has a definite martial feel, governing issues regarding sex, lust, and passion as well as aggression and physical dominance. She also improves or impairs relationships, being commonly called on for this purpose.

Purple: The purple aspect of Santa Muerte is that of a goddess of both magic and initiation. She assists not only with spells but also with the direct understanding of magic. This Santa Muerte also acts as a gatekeeper between different ethereal and astral realms.

Black: This color of Santa Muerte is very Saturnian, overseeing all forms of cessation, negation, decay, dissolution, and denouement. The black Santa Muerte is used to negate bonds and barriers, as well as destroy or dissolve spells, curses, or hexes. She is also used for necromancy, such as speaking with the dead.

Color energies are useful in many ways. One of the most basic ways to use color symbolism in magick is to select candles of the color appropriate to your purpose. The power of color may be added at any point in rituals and spells to enhance the symbolism, and thus the power of the spell.

Examples include:

Candles

Altar Cloth & Flowers

Fabric and components for Amulets, Talismans, Dream Pillows, etc.

Food coloring choices in Bath Salts.

Label/Container choices for brews, teas, essential oils etc.

Meditations on colors for reaching specific chakras, or areas for psychic development.

Garments for ceremonies or simply on days when you wish to attract (or deflect) certain energies.

Colored papers and inks for written spell work.

Awareness of colors you select in your decor and environment.

As with most things magickal, how you feel about the color and your aims is the most important guide. If a color feels right to use for a purpose, even if it is not listed here, use it! As shown in the varying and sometimes overlapping associations above, the power and meaning of colors varies somewhat form person to person

🌑 New Moon Ritual 🌑

Hello Loves! 

I’m posting this a little late but thought I would show you what I did for the New Moon.

The New Moon is all about new beginnings, cleansing, setting and reassessing intentions, goals and manifesting your desires. It’s a time to rid of things that no longer aid you and welcome the things that do, and putting those aids in to practice. It’s also a wonderful time to start new projects.

The Ritual:

I started the day by cleaning my room, sweeping out the negativity, cleaning my altar, cleansing with sage and burning lavender incense for inner peace and tranquility.

After I cleansed my surroundings I started to cleanse myself. Starting with light stretching to awaken the body from slumber and guided meditation for opening the mind and soul. I then went for a water cleanse and swam leisurely in the pool (the ocean would’ve been ideal but a simple shower or bath works great too), it’s important to admire and thank your surroundings, find beauty in it all. I love to thank Gaia for all she gives us. After the pool, I did a sort of second water cleanse in the shower. Simply imagining negativity seeping out of my body and down the drain and fresh positivity and ambition seeping in.

Once I cleansed my self, I let the sun set and at moon rise I began my spell work and manifesting. Here’s what I did and what you can do:

🌑 I started by writing down all things that no longer aid me and the negativity I wanted out of my life.

🌑 I then proceeded to burn it (safely, please be cautious with fire!) where the New Moon could see and wash it away. As it burned I visualized the negativity and unhelpful habits leave my body and fly away.

🌑 Next, I wrote down all the things I wanted to invite, keep and manifest in to my life. 

🌑 I then carefully rolled the piece of paper up into a little scroll and tied it with some blessed twine/rope, I added some pieces of Rosemary, Baby’s Breath and a lavender coloured flower for knowledge and intuition. 

🌑 Once I had created my scroll I meditated with it and some crystals, holding it in my hand and infusing it with power.

If you make this cute little intentions scroll I recommend keeping it somewhere visible, so you can always look upon it when you feel you’re going astray.

I ended the night by thanking the Moon and Gaia and proceeded to journal and get a good nights rest!

I hope this gives you some inspiration for the New Moon and setting intentions.

A gentle reminder is, whilst Moon phases are strong times to do certain things there is no right or wrong time to set intentions, break bad habits and manifest your dreams! You don’t need to wait for the next Moon phase, and if you feel now is or isn’t the time then trust what your intuition is telling you! 

Blessed Be!
