Summer Witchcraft

Some tips for witchy things to do in the summer. Feel free to add! I also have two about fall witchcraft part 1 & part 2

.

.

🌻 Meditate outside. Stay in the shade so you don’t get sunburned

🌻 Carry around a water bottle, stay hydrated! Infuse your drinking water with moon water for a boost

🌻 Carry a waterproof talisman (crystal, necklace, ring etc) so it won’t get damaged if you’re at the beach

🌻 Say a prayer to your water deities when swimming in a lake/river/the ocean

🌻 Gather seashells, leaves, stones, and other things for your altar. Remember not to harm nature! It can be nice to change your altar from time to time, one can decorate with yellows, oranges and golds during the summer. Or maybe some plants?

🌻 Gather water, sand etc for spells

🌻 Have a picnic

🌻 Take a walk in a nearby forest, get closer to nature

🌻 Practice sensing energy by meditating or focusing on clairvoyance while you’re on a walk in nature

🌻 Have a bonfire and burn bay leaves with sigils, pray to fire deities, or just dance and enjoy yourself. Remember to be careful while practicing fire magic outside! It can get hot and dry in the summer and we want to avoid accidents

🌻 Draw sigils in the sand at the beach or make them out of sticks, rocks, seashells etc

🌻 Leave offerings for your deities. If you do so outside, which is likely, make sure it’s degradable!

🌻 Spend time with loved ones

🌻 Create your own spells or chants

.

.

And perhaps most important: relax. If you’re on summer break you should relax, take a break. If you want to go out and hike, that’s great! If you want to watch Netflix and sleep, that’s fine, too. Just remember to stay healthy, go out once in a while, and do what makes you happy!

"I produce positive energy"

Mid Summer Sigils Day 4: Positivity

The inspiration for this one is a bit more simple, but I have just been wanting to put more positivity into everything I do so for this sigil I want it to help me produce positive energy.

[fluttersuns-deactivated20240717]

to do list for the lonely:

take yourself out to dinner, go on a picnic, allow yourself to be alone, talk to strangers, pour yourself a drink and queue Netflix, pet dogs and ask about them, tell all the dogs that they’re the best, cry when you need to, bake a pie, light some candles and have a relaxing bath, let it go to voicemail if you need to, take a walk, leave your phone at home when you can, smile at people and wave at kids and most importantly, know that it’s okay to feel this way.

Make rune "stones" from small shells you gather on the beach, and paint clear nail polish on them to preserve the rune you draw. { note: this can be done in any environment with small pieces of nature such as stones, wood, or even pennies }

Important Reminder!

I keep seeing posts about how to become a hellenic polytheist– all emphasizing an extraordinary amount of reading & research.

That is all fine and well. Read and research to your heart’s content. Worship is no casual thing to jump into. You should understand who you worship and why they are worthy of worship… BUT–

You also don’t need to read every book on the subject. You don’t have to study like you’re trying to become a priest (unless you truly want to be). Let us remember that the majority of the ancients were NOT extremely devout priests that read every single thing referencing their gods.

You can worship and love your gods without it being the center of your life. You can worship and love your gods without knowing every single thing about Greek history/mythology. Your personal practice and relationship with your gods is not something meant to be rated on an “authenticity scale.” It is personal and sacred to you (and your gods, of course).

Religion is a living breathing thing. You are under no obligation to practice just as the ancients did (don’t know about you, but sacrificing a bull in my area is no easy feat to accomplish). The world evolves, so does our religion, so do the gods.

Always strive to be better; but don’t allow other people to make you feel like you need to be an expert in the classics and Greek history to worship the gods. This is not school, this is religion. We are not graded on these things. Respect & knowledge is an excellent foundation, but HEART is at the center of religion. It’s why we do what we do.
