Self love and healing spell bottle

You will need: An incense cone/stick to burn (I used frankincense for protection and purification) Rose quartz chip (encourages self love and aids emotional healing) Lavender (healing) Peppermint (protection and healing) Rosemary Incense ashes Sea Salt

A white candle to seal the bottle

Steps: Start by burning the incense to purify the space. Add all ingredients while focusing on your intent and visualizing your negativity and pain being put into the bottle. Light the candle, close and seal the bottle.

May Hermes be gentle as he takes their hands and leads them from the living

May Charon guide them swiftly across the river to land safely on the shore

May Minos, Rhadamanthys, and Aeacus’s judgement be wise and true

May Hades watch over them with fairness and may Persephone watch over them with compassion

May they be honored by the living and may they find peace among the dead

A simple prayer and reminder to those we’ve lost

Ostara Honey Cake

This will be my first Ostara so I’ve been putting together my recipes for the event. The following recipe is a dairy and egg free cake with a hint of honey; a simple recipe I’ve modified. It can even be gluten free if you substitute a gluten free all purpose flour (I personally like Bob’s Mill) Perfect desert for the sabbat! It’s simple, not overly sweet, and I’ll be putting a light lemon glaze on top, but it would be wonderful plain. A perfect finish to bring in Spring/Summer.

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 cup granulated sugar 1 cup honey, warmed 2 teaspoons baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons white vinegar 1 ½ tablespoon vanilla extract 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons oil 2 cups water

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease 2 – 9 inch round cake pans then dust with flour. Warm honey in 10 second intervals in microwave until it moves around bowl like a liquid (DO NOT let it boil) Add the flour, sugar, honey, baking soda, and salt to a large bowl. Add the water, oil, vinegar, and vanilla. Mix with a whisk until well-blended. Do not over beat. It will still turn out even if there are a few small lumps. Divide the batter between the 2 greased cake pans. Bake on a middle rack of oven for 35 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Let cool before frosting, dust with powdered sugar, or dive in while warm with a fork. Mmm, tasty!🐰🐥🐏🍰

[eagle-of-zeus]

I feel so much guilt about being a little bit scared of Zeus. The myths do not show him in a good light at all. I’ve been messed up since the very beginning reading the story about him and Prometheus and how Zeus punished the humans. Did you ever have any hesitation? How can I work to get over it? I want to respect and worship all the Olympians but I’m nervous about Zeus but he’s the King so it’s very conflicting :/

The main thing is to remember not to take the myths literally. I believe there is some truth in all the myths, but they’re primarily just old stories made for entertainment or to teach lessons and the way the ancient Greeks portrayed the Gods in them reflected their own society during that era. So the Gods were given human emotions and feelings, but in reality the Gods are not violent towards humans, don’t get jealous, ect. I would recommend reading the old hymns to Zeus, they show how the ancient worshipers really saw Him. Also check out some of Zeus’ epithets, such as Zeus Alexikakos (the Averter of Evil), Zeus Ktesios (Protector of the House), Zeus Genêtaios (the Hospitable), Zeus Polieus (Protector of the City), Zeus Soter (the Savior), Zeus Sthenios (the Powerful), and so on. Zeus was seen as the King and Father of mankind, a just and kind God who watched over mankind and presided over justice and order. He was greatly loved and honored by the ancient Greeks as the highest God and the King of the Gods. A lot of priests didn’t like the myths because of how they wrongly portrayed Him. And sadly most people today just know about Zeus from the myths. To fully understand Zeus, you have to look beyond the myths. Look into how the ancient Greeks worshiped and viewed Him through festivals, hymns, temples, ect. I would also recommend trying to connect with Him yourself and get a feel of His true personality. I promise you He’s nothing like how He’s portrayed in the myths.

Hope this helps and good luck. :)

Dear White People

First and Foremost; you are not, nor ever will be a “g*psy witch” it is a slur, and if you think it is okay to call yourself such, get the fuck off of this blog and don’t come near me with a ten foot pole.   Romani culture has nothing to do with witchcraft, Romani culture is heavily tied to Muslim, Hinduism, and Christianity.   Romani people to this day are typically stereotyped as thieves, criminals and varmint, in Europe it is common to have the Romani people segregated, denied services, denied healthcare, to most they aren’t people at all.  Romani women are still frequently and forcefully sterilized like animals.   During the Holocaust, Hitler exterminated 500,000 Romani people, the persecution dates back easily over 600 years and into the Middles Ages. We aren’t fortune tellers, witches, some mystical creature from a child fairy tale, or a Halloween costume.   You know the term “ gypped” that come from the stereotype of the Roma being dirty thieves and comes from the slur g*psy, and now some of yall are combing “hipster” and this to form “ gypster”, like ??? Everyone tries to say, “that this witchcraft community here on tumbr is so open to everyone”, but, if you are any non-white person you know that is bullshit and it has to change.   Some links to educate y’all fucking ignorant people  Why g*psy is a racial slur Reporter’s Notebook: G*psies & Racism Segregation, bullying and fear: The stunted education of Romani children in Europe PERSECUTION AND POLITICIZATION: ROMA OF EASTERN EUROPE Roma women share stories of forced sterilisation The Story Of The Roma, Europe’s Most Discriminated Group Roma in Europe: Persecuted and misunderstood

[under-olympos-bodhi-tree]

I don’t see why they say the gods are gone

The gods were never gone, they were never dead. The only thing that changed was that we stopped listening.

We still have the weather, thunder and rain. Zeus calls down his storms both in peace to keep our lives safe, and in anger to wreak destruction. We might be better at predicting what is coming, but if the rain stopped coming, what would we do? We depend on the rain, and fear the storm.

More than 90% of the world’s trade comes by the sea. Poseidon watches over the sailors on the oceans, gives to fish to those who hunger, and gives protection to more than half of the life on the world, guarding the oceans and rivers.

Death is still is a part of our lives. When we die, Charon takes us across the rivers of the Underworld, and we face our fates. Hades still watches over the sick, giving strength and life to those still with work left undone, and guards those who find their end, judging them as befitting their deeds.

Love is as strong as before. Love still finds it’s way, no matter how we might try to crush it under a world of apathy and industry. Aphrodite finds those that need love in their lives, and she gives them the courage to take their leaps. Young couples still find Eros, families find their Storge, and marriages find their Pragma.

Homes are still as strong, and as broken as ever. Hera gives lovers the strength to overcome their problems, the endurance to see past the faults in those they love to find the perfection inside. She guards the children of broken homes, and shows the light to those that need it in their lives, to build their own families.

Warfare has changed drastically, coming at longer ranges, but war is as terrible as ever. Ares gives his strength to the weary legs of a soldier on march, and stills the nervous hands gripping at a rifle. He gives life to the wounded, and courage to the broken.

War is bigger now, more complicated. General staffs spend years drawing and redrawing their plans, preparing the perfect ideas to spare the world as much horror as they can. Athena gives wisdom to her field marshals, her officers, that they might know the best path.

Food is needed for every single person in the world. Demeter gives us a bountiful, full harvest so that we might not starve. She holds the hand of those working in the scorching fields, that their work may not be for nothing. She protects the abused animals in the factory farms, and she feuds with her brothers and sisters so that their wrath may not destroy the harvest.

Creation is an essential part of life. Hephaestus watches over not only the smiths, but the writers, the artists and every other smith of creation. He watches men build their battleships, lay the bricks of their buildings that might touch the sky, and the production of that which might not only keep us alive, but to make us prosper.

The gods aren’t gone, and they haven’t forgotten any of us. Even if we stop listening, that doesn’t mean that they aren’t there.

[just--a-small--town-witch]

The old gods are not dead

I hear Athenas war cry in the shouts of protests,

fighting a war now closer to home,

I see her in the young women with picket signs

clenched tightly in their fists

Hera curses the names of the abusers

The ones who break families and marriages

Her voice heard in the wedding bells of young lovers

Poseidon now resides in a beach home

Going out every night to pick of trash left by the day

Shooting daggers at the drunk men letting their bottles be swept away

Demeter can be heard cursing the politicians refusing to believe in global warming

Names of scientists and studies on the tip of her tongue

She is found teaching young children how to grow their food at the community garden

Ares is found on the front lines of a different war, not fighting but protecting the innocent

Guiding classrooms of children away from gunfire,

His shield protecting the terrified

Apollo can be found at opens mics

Reciting his latest works

Or walking down the street in docs on his feet and a guitar on his back

He knows he’s the coolest

Artemis is seen on the streets

Her bow and arrow have long left her

Carrying nothing more than a knife and mace

She hunts a different kind of monster now

Hephaestus resides in a workshop at all hours of the night

Creating custom pieces for the right price and a warm smile

The hammer making him feel invincible

Aphrodite’s song is heard in the breathy kisses of teenagers

Shes found walking down the street, lips a blood red

Punching the men who dare disrespect her  

Hermes is seen with a smirk as he walks long well-traveled roads

Delivering the messages of those needing to be heard

Traveling, telling stories, and wearing out another pair of shoes

Dionysus’s voice heard only over the pounding bass in the bar

Keeping watch over young girls drinks

Dancing, partying and living as he throws another one back

Hades is seen weeping over the graves of those taken much to soon

Looking to his wife for comfort

He’s long lost his faith in humanity

Persephone found in the gardens beside her mother in the spring

Brushing off girl’s dirty knees and putting flower crowns on their heads

She can be seen holding onto hades as he mourns the loss of life

Hecate will be found running metaphysical shops

Bringing hope to powerful women wanting more

Selling potions, nobody thinks will work

And collecting graveyard dirt for a new spell

Zeus is watching over everyone

Watches Athena cry

Hera curse the men, he being one of them

Poseidon’s glares

Demeter’s harsh words

Ares raising his shield

Apollos singing

Artemis as she tracks a new beast

Watches Hephaestus work

Sees Aphrodite punch

Hears Hermes words

Sees hades weep

And Persephone plant and comfort her partner

And grins as Hecate keeps magic alive

The old gods are not dead

They are alive

And they are watching

- Sayali C.

[vintagewitch26]

Literally got chills from this.  This is so beautiful.

[shipping-the-gods]

do you have ideas for more physical kind of devotional things for athena? like not just studying or working hard, but tangible things?

Sure :)

Weave/Knit/Crochet

Choose specific clothes/hairstyles/accessories/etc. that are your “armour” and ask Athena to bless them with courage

Light a candle/incense in her honour

Put a picture of an Owl in your wallet/somewhere you work

Try your hand at pottery

Do something handy, or find a hobby that involves craftiness

Study war strategies/skills

Wear something with a snake on it

Dedicate part of your meal to her

Visit Athens inf you can

If not, write a small report about it as an offering

Eat olives/put olive oil on your food ;)

Packing like a witch: travelling tips

I’m going on a month-long trip and felt like moving around Europe with no stable location and no way to pass my herbs through airport security might be a setback to my craft. So I came up with tips and packing tricks to not lose contact with my abilities and practices.

In your plane hand luggage, the airport might give you some trouble with liquids, oils and candles. Not to mention matches are 100% forbidden, so everything of that sort that you want to bring to your trip, put it in your suitcase.

Herbs are not an option, BUT you can sneak some by adding it to a small burning candle, once it’s liquified the herbs will be part of the wax! Lighting the candle in your hotel room can manifest the intent of that herb.

Take your grimoire and tarot cards with you everywhere. You can study your craft on the plane, on buses, free times, etc.

Try and only bring small crystals with you to reduce your luggage.

Whenever you stop at a restaurant/coffee shop order herbal tea according to your magickal needs and ask if it’s possible to pour it yourself. Sometimes they’ll give you the tea separate to a hot water jar, and in that case, pour and stir the water while manifesting your intent.

Black tea is a perfect choice for it can give you energy, strength, a sense of stability and can banish unknown negative energies.

Follow the moon phases, it’s a way to always connect with your spirituality and craft, no matter where you are.

If meditation isn’t an option because it’s crowded, try shutting yourself out with earphones and witchy or meditation music.

In the picture: I’m taking my tarot cards and crystals in a cloth bag, in my hand luggage (a backpack) along with my grimoire. On a different cloth bag that’s going in my suitcase, I’m taking a small white candle to replace every other color for potential spells, a peace spray for my family’s overall energy, matches, a shell that I enchanted with luck, some eclipse water for psychic abilities, lavender oil and a candle I snuck dry rosemary in.

cleansing crystals

full moon: on the night of a full moon, leave your crystals outside to soak up the moonlight, the crystals will still receive the energy even if it’s cloudy or raining! (but make sure the crystals can safely be in contact with water!!)

sunlight: leave your crystals out to bathe in the sun for a few hours (Amegreen, Amethyst, Ametrine,  Aquamarine,  Celestite, Citrine, Fluorite,  Kunzite, Opal,Rose Quartz, Smoky Quartz, Spirit Quartz, Super Seven, Topaz, and Turquoise should not be left out in the sun!!)

sage/incense: waft the smoke over the crystals, or hold the crystals in the smoke, let the smoke reach every side of the crystal

water: let your crystals soak in a nice cool water bath, or place them under running water, visualise the water cleaning out any negative energy (Calcite, Desert Rose, Halite, Hematite, Lodestone, Malachite, Satin Spar, and Selenite should not be placed in water!!)

earth: bury your crystals in the soil for a few hours and the earth will soak up negative energies (again, be cautious about rain!)

sound: place your crystals in front of speakers and play your favourite music!! the vibrations from sound waves will pass through the crystals and reset their vibrations to their original state

flower petals: bury your crystals in a bowl of flower petals, choose a flower that has extra healing properties to help your crystals

visualisation: hold your crystal in your hand and envision a white light surrounding it, then see a white beam pass through the crystal, taking the negative energy away

[perse-phoneee-deactivated202007]

If you’re angry at Sephora’s “witch starter kit,” I hope you’re also angry at the cultural appropriation of marginalized practices in witchcraft.

Remember how frustrated you felt when you saw these starter kits when a member of a marginalized tradition says something is cultural appropriation. If you don’t want people to water down and steal your practices, don’t water down or steal other practices.

[actually-witchy]

Some fun witchy things to do!!!

Press flowers

Cleanse the house/ your room

Talk and care for your plants
