Witchy things, drawings, acceptance. All are welcome, all are valid. I enjoy conversations and debating. Information and opinions. Let’s grow from one another.

Today I went into the Titanic museum in TN. I can’t put into words the emotions I felt looking at the pictures. I felt the fear of those passengers. I felt the sorrow and sadness. It was overwhelming. I want to say, it’s hard being this intuned with things. But it’s also a blessing..

PURPLE DEADNETTLE

Great weed! No not that kind. I’m talking about the fact it grows everywhere in a lawn and it’s bountiful. Do not over harvest but it’s look alike is HENBIT. Fear not, they are both completely edible!

Purple Dead Nettle Uses Medicinally*

As a medicinal, they are can be used both dried and fresh in herbal teas. They are a natural diuretic and have astringent, and styptic properties. The herbal infusion can be used for helping to stop minor cuts as well as assisting the body in healing bruises.

* do not replace a prescription for herbal medicines. This is a additive to your diet and should be looked into prior to mixing with medicines.

To dry the nettle leaves for later:

-snip off the plant ½” from the ground.

-Remove the leaves by either hand plucking them, or running a sharp knife down the stem.

-Lay the leaves as flat as possible on a dehydrator sheet and dehydrate for 6-8 hours on low.

-You can also dry them on an ungreased baking sheet in a low oven, 175 degrees or less, for 8-10 hours.

To use dried purple nettle in a tea:

-Add 3 Tablespoons dried leaves for every 8 ounces (1 cup) of boiling water.

-Allow to steep for 5-8 minutes, then strain and sweeten to taste.

-Blend with other herbs such as burdock, dandelion root, and milk thistle to make a tea that will naturally support your liver and kidney functions.

To use dried nettle in a purple dead nettle salve:

-In an oven safe bowl, add ½ cup dried leaves to 1 cup of coconut (measured in liquid state) or olive oil

-Place in 200 degree F oven for 2 hours to infuse. Remove from oven and allow to cool.

-Strain the plant matter, and save the oil. Add 3 Tablespoons beeswax and return to oven to allow oil and wax to melt together.

-Pour infused oil into a pint jar and cover tightly. You may add up to 30 drops total essential oils of choice. Try helichrysum, lavender or tea tree oil or a blend of all 3.

-Rub a quarter sized amount all over bruises and minor cuts and scrapes to aid in healing.

Purple Dead Nettle Recipes

As a wild edible, they are naturally full of Vitamins A and C, as well as being a good source of iron. The flavor is rich and earthy and they are easily used in any recipe like you would spinach.

Try them in:

Smoothies

Soups

Stir frys

Casseroles

Salads, (and they go great with dandelion greens too)

🌙 deity devotion journals

if you’re anything like me, the desire to meet and communicate with a new deity might be stunted by the idea of actually, ya know, communicating. whatever the reason (you don’t use divination, cant speak aloud, are afraid of being overheard, can’t meditate easily, etc.), initiating contact with deities can seem intimidating, and might even deter you from following the god or pantheon at all. but rest assured, there are easier and more discreet methods of talking, other than whipping out a dozen tarot decks and chanting pagan prayers

💫Why a Devotional Journal? What Is It?

devotional journals are journals dedicated to a specific deity or pantheon, where you can write messages, prayers, questions, or anything else you’d like to speak with Them about. i like to think of these journals like writing letters to a good friend- except your good friend is also a god!

☀️Beginning a Devotional Journal

depending on personal preference, this can be as intricate or as simple as you please. if you feel inclined to introduce yourself, explain what you’re doing or why you’re keeping a journal, or anything else, then feel free to! when i started mine i kept it as easy as writing “dear Apollo,” in a composition notebook, then explained my reasons and goals for keeping a journal specifically for Him. so honestly? go wild

⚡️What To Put in a Devotional Journal

prayers

Their name written in its orignal language

stories about your day

your relationship goals

tarot spreads for/to Them

song lyrics

poetry

hymns

Their family tree

things like the delphic maxims (hellenic) or 10 commandments (christian)

pressed flowers

printed pictures of what They look like to you

artwork

a list of things you associate with Them

gratitudes

what your altar to Them looks like (or what you wish it could look like)

messages you’ve received from Them

devotional acts

sigils/runes/etc

Their symbols

Their myths and lore

offering ideas

Their sacred animals, plants, cities, etc

famous works about Them

if you can think of anything else to put in a devotion journal, please feel free to add on! no matter how crazily beautiful or inconspicuously simple you make yours, the important thing to remember is your gods appreciate all efforts to strengthen your relationship with Them

My Mother's Savage Daughter words/music c.1990 k.l. u. kahan

I am my mother's savage daughter,

the one who runs barefoot cursing sharp stones.

I am my mother's savage daughter,

I will not cut my hair, I will not lower my voice.

-

My mother's child is a savage,

She looks for her omens in the colors of stones,

In the faces of cats, in the fall of feathers,

In the dancing of fire and the curve of old bones.

-

My mother's child dances in darkness,

And sings heathen songs by the light of the moon,

And watches the stars and renames the planets,

And dreams she can reach them with a song and a broom.

-

My mother's child curses too loud and too often,

My mother's child laughs too hard and too long,

And howls at the moon and sleeps in ditches,

And clumsily raises her voice in this song.

-

Now we all are brought forth out of darkness and water,

Brought into this world through blood and through pain,

And deep in our bones, the old songs are wakening,

So sing them with voices of thunder and rain.

-

We are our mother's savage daughters,

The ones who run barefoot cursing sharp stones.

We are our mother's savage daughters,

We will not cut our hair, We will not lower our voice

So the corona virus is definitely a thing impacting my life at the moment, not health wise, but day to day. So I've been thinking about what, as a which, I can do. Here are a few of my ideas:

Immune boosting foods/herbs

Green tea

Echinacea

Ginger

Tumeric

Garlic

Oranges

Another idea I had is incorporating health spells/blessings when we wash our hands. I mean, since we are being told to wash our hands for at least 20 seconds, why not incorporate a quick blessing at the same time?

Here is mine (feel free to use!)

Wet your hands

Add soap

While you scrub, whisper the blessing:

Health is in my hands. I carry it with me. I cleanse myself of dirt and illness and pass on health with my touch.

Rinse, Dry, and Done!

If anyone else has any ideas that they want to share, please feel free to add on!

Well these readings are wonderful for self discovery, self reflection and to improve yourself over flaws of history.

Standard Reading (5 Cards) - $5.00

The standard past life reading is where I do a 5 card spread based off of the custom spread I created personally for past life readings. These readings will consist of: early life, teenage life, young adult life, adult life, and late life. Additional notes may be added to the reading by me.

Full Reading (10 Cards) - $8.50

The standard past life reading is where I do a 10 card spread based off of the custom spread I created personally for past life readings. These readings will consist of: early life, teenage life, young adult life, adult life, late life, how you were seen by others, your inner self/personality, your purpose in this life, if you met any of your soulmates, and how this life effects your current one. Additional notes may be added to the reading by me.

Full Reading + 3 Cards - $11.00

This reading is like the full reading, but with the addition of 3 more cards added to the end of the spread. These cards can be picked from a list of specifics that you wish to know more about this past life for more specific info.

My readings using custom colormancy cards made from my color theory test kit. With these colors much like other forms of card readings, I will use them and their alignments to draw answers for your questions or inquiries.

One Card - $1.00

Two Cards - $1.50

Three Cards - $2.50

Five Cards - $4.00

Crystal Throwing

A crystal throwing reading is using a bunch of different crystals and a large grid and tossing randomly selected crystals onto the grid and interpreting that for divination purposes. You may also do single drawn stones from a bag or box for single simple answers.

How the reading will work: 

I will receive your question(s) and then using them as a guide will throw the crystals I draw onto my grid. I will interpret the patter, placement and the crystals correspondences to give you a detailed reading. I will also take a picture of the grid and the crystals upon it.

Pricing:

The price for a standard crystal reading will be $7.00 and for every additional throwing or question you would like to add is another $3.00.

I also have an option for if you want a Large Throwing consisting of answering 5 questions and taking the use of many more crystals than a standard throwing it is $11.50.

I also offer single stone drawings for $1.00 a stone.

Energy Readings

My energy readings are not the same as aura readings, I will read your energy via what visions I get, imagery, sounds, smells, tastes and feelings. I type out my readings while I experience them (likely with my eyes closed) and will go back through to correct spelling errors before sending. Sometimes these readings delve into divination other times they don’t. I will then take what I see, feel and witness and interpret it more deeply for you and send that.

The price is 6.50 for a basic energy reading. A full detailed or extended one with additional tarot cards, crystals or other added insights can be requested and price discussed.

If you need more details on energy readings feel free to look at my Energy Reading Page

Pendulum Readings

One Question = $1.00

Each additional Question = $1.00

5 Question Bundle = $4.50

10 Question Bundle = $9.00

Spirit or Entity Communication = IM me to discuss possible price depending on entity/spirit, length of reading and number of questions

Deity Communication/Entity Communication

Need some help communicating with a new deity, entity or spirit? I am happy to do my best to assist you with this! 

Basic Deity Communication Spread - $12.00

This reading will be done with a spread I have made and used for deity communication to contact and get information from the deity. Additional cards may be added as needed each for $1.

Add Energy Reading - add. $5.00

If needed or desired I can add on an energy reading of you and possibly the deity/entity itself onto the standard basic reading above for an additional fee 

Thank you all for helping me with this. If you cannot request a commission, please reblog and signal boost this if you can. Money will be tight, my city is about to fully shut down with little to no support from our local government. If you also are generous or wishing to help feel free to donate to my Ko-Fi page as well.

[witchazelle]

Let’s help each other get through this.

Not everyone is as lucky as those working at my local Urban Outfitters (closed due to Covid, but paid at home) as soon as my things sell, I’m totally taking the opportunity to learn more about myself.

I recommend even using a $1 to help.

Every dollar counts.

🌹Recipe for Rose Water🌹

Rose water has many uses, both practical and magickal. Rose water is great for those with oily skin to keep it under wraps, is a great anti inflammatory that can help reduce eczema and acne and it's a good moisturiser for the skin. It's magickal properties are really useful too, roses are associated with female intuition, beauty, love and can also attract good luck. While not as popular as lavender, roses also encourage sound dreams and a good night sleep.

I recently needed to make a batch of rose water for a bath spell that I have in the works at the moment (which, when posted, will have a link here) and figured I may as well throw it down.

Equipment/Ingredients:

Roses - I used about 8 roses (colour doesn't really matter but I wanted pink for the colour and all that) but it really depends on how much water you're actually making and how strong you want it to be. Use common sense like.

Tap or Bottled Water - You probably would get away with using tap or bottled water realistically

OR

Distilled water - Now this is a bit of a process in itself but if you want to go full hog, distilled water (purified water) is best for this. The method I followed is here.

Optional: Now unless you want pure pure rose water just use what's above but there's no rule book so like 👀👀👀 I threw a bit of lavender (like 5 small sticks) and about 6 drops of rose bath oil into the water too since it was being used for a specific bath spell but do what you want y'know.

A big pot (especially if you're making distilled water before)

A strainer

A jar

Method

Take the roses and take the petals off them, usually if you take the bottom of the head and twist gently while holding the petals they'll come off in one go. Put them in the strainer

Wash them thoroughly in case of any dirt and stuff in them so just give them a gentle rinse in the strainer and drain.

Put the petals (and your other ingredients if you're mixing it up a bit) in the pot and put in enough water to barely cover them.

Bring the water to a simmer and cover the pot. You'll need to leave them about 10 minutes or longer.

When the petals have lost their colour and are pale, take the water off the heat and wait for it to cool.

Strain and pour your rose water into a jar for storage. Keep in a cool place.

when I was younger I didn’t understand why “may you live in interesting times” was considered a curse in ancient greece.

I get it now.

Made a dream catcher from hag stones, a hair piece I got from my store, and string.
