🌿🌹 Smokable Herbs 💨✨

Smoke is used cleansing and purifying, and much more🌫

🍃 Good day, Witches of Tumblr! 🍃

Not everyone may have the habit of smoking, but smoking has always had a sacred purpose in every culture and many religions. The history of smoking began in shamanistic rituals that took place as early as 4000 bc. It is considered a very social activity and was used as a social tool.

While some may say the smell of smoke is unpleasant, and people don’t want it around them. But did you know you can smoke certain herbs, and actually make a very lovely tasting, and even pleasant smelling, blend? Some herbs are highly medicinal and can give you benefits. Keep reading if you want to know more!

🌹 ━━━✦❘༻ 🌿 ༺❘✦━━━━🌹

**Disclaimer**

it is very important you do the proper research to see if you can smoke a certain herb. Also if you start feeling sick after smoking it cease use of it immediately. You may be fine ingesting a certain herb, but you could have an allergy to smoking said herb. Please note that some of these could be poisonous if eaten, we are speaking of smoking only. I also don’t recommend replacing smoking herbs with getting medical treatment if you need assistance. Be very careful if you have health conditions and don’t smoke if you’re pregnant. I am also not trying to persuade you or anyone else to smoke!

🌹 ━━━✦❘༻ 🌿 ༺❘✦━━━━🌹

With that said, lets begin to learn what herbs you can smoke and how to put together a herbal smoking blend! Get ready to raid your apothecary!

There are tons of herbs that are smokable. Each herb has its own unique taste and effect, and by mixing them together you can create a perfect blend for your next ritual! Curate special blends for spells and other workings and label them. The possibilities are endless for what you can make. Not only do herbs have magickal properties, but medicinal properties for minor ailments too!

A Tarot Spread for Gender Exploration

I saw a couple gender spreads floating around the internet when I looked, but in the end I decided to make my own. It has more of a basis in my own experiences as a person who does sometimes feel like a man/woman but just as often feels like both/neither. The first three cards of the spread help the querent the querent to explore their gender identity both in terms of the binary and in terms of nonbinary identity. The fourth card is intended to point to the next step on the path to understanding of the querent’s gender and a feeling of wholeness. It will show how the querent can become more comfortable with the binary and nonbinary parts of their gender and recognize them as part of one being with their own distinct characteristics.

FIRST CARD: FEMININITY.  How does my feminine energy manifest itself (or, how am I feminine/a woman)?

SECOND CARD: MASCULINITY.  How does my masculine energy manifest itself (or, how am I masculine/a man)?

THIRD CARD: DUALITY.  How do my masculine and feminine energies work together (or, how am I both/neither)?

FOURTH CARD: INNER UNITY.  How can I reconcile the different parts of my gender?

Genderfluid Dysphoria Tarot Spread 

This is a spread I designed for myself. I have three different genders and sometimes I need a little help finding proper balance and feeling my best. 

[grimoire-of-solace]

I’m trying to figure out which deity I connect with the most and so I made this spread! Just focus on a deity of your choice and ask these questions!

1. What do you think of me?

2. What are the pros of our potential relationship?

3. What are the cons of our potential relationship?

4. How would we benefit each other?

5. Is this a good match?

Let me know how it goes if you use it! So far, I’ve used it for Artemis, Hades, Hecate, and Selene and it’s been really interesting. Also, sometimes they will have more than one card for the first question. Just follow your intuition and good luck!

What to do with your witchy motivation

Some days I am filled with random spurts of energy. My day is filled with an intense amount of motivation and the worst feeling is having no outlet for that energy. It can be really unsatisfying to feel extremely motivated and not have done very much.

Here are some ideas to exert that motivation into good old witchiness

(Pictured is the Linestriders tarot and Supermarket Sabbats)

• Grimoire, to dos, and planning - This is a wonderful time to visit your book of shadows! Add a new page, write a to do list (or do things youve been putting off), and plan out some spells or ideas for the sabbats!

• Crafts - Create new items to use for practice. Make a wand, candles, use clay to make statues and incense holders. The possibilities are endless with creation. You can watch youtube videos of other peoples crafts.

• Stocking up - Need a new batch of something? Make it today while you feel motivated. Prepare things in advance and create items in bulk for later use, and stock back up on oils and other things. Make handy things you might need later on such as offering stones!

• Cast spells! - Seems like a no brainer, but sometimes its we dont know what kind of spells to do. Do a spell to create more motivation that lasts longer than just a day, or one for studying, just something simple to help aid you in what you are doing.

(Pictured is the Linestrider’s Tarot)

• Do research! - Read some witchy books, watch some youtube videos, and browse tumblr tags for some good research. Maybe spend the day studying one subject, like tarot. (When was the last time you wanted to study?)

• Clean up - Clear the stiff air, sweep away the negative and old energies and bring in more positive ones. Take the time to thoroughly clean, cleanse, and clear the slate. Take a bath, dust, wash the dishes and wash your face. Use today’s motivation to do chores you might have been putting off and cleanse the house to help adopt more motivating energies.

These are just a few ideas of what to do when you have a lot of energy but dont know what to do with it. I hope this sparks ideas for other witchy things to do. Please feel free to add on!

I researched about familiars today, after re-reading the post I reblogged about them. I looked for a tarot spread to help me find my familiar, but I didn’t find any (if you know one, feel free to share it in the comments) so I made my own !

And I made a sigil too. Because I love sigils. (Same, if you know other sigils with a similar effect, don’t be shy !)

Precision about the tarot spread : The first question might also be “Am I ready / what do I need to be ready [to find a familiar] ?”

[kikiscauldron]

Alone Time Reading for my December theme of “comfort and joy.” A great reading to try out for when you are feeling a little down or if you want to turn your attention to self-care and self-love.

[rachyl-blog1]

My favorite spread of late–🔮pulling from the power of the pentagram⭐ and the elementals🔮…

(also doubles as a pretty powerful relationship spread–showing you partner qualities most compatible with your personality type).

Enjoy, wxtches
