Witch Recipe: Cleansing Salts

- A recipe from my grimoire

Cleansing salts are really cool, and making them basically gives an extra magickal boost to your salt. It’s even simple to make!

Some uses for these salts are to charge and cleanse crystals, wards/shields, banishing negative energies/entities (it can trap them too if that’s your style), used in spell bottles, charging sigils, or generally empowering any magickal workings that call for salt. !!DO NOT USE IN FOODS OR BATHS!!

Supplies

Mortar and Pestle/Food processor

Teaspoon

Sea salt

Dried rose petals

Rosemary or Sage

And Frankincense essential oil (incense ash works too)

The spell

-as a note, please feel free to change or come up with your own spell or phrase, it doesn’t even need to rhyme! This is simply what I chose and what has worked best for me.

“Salt of Earth, and Rose of Fire

safety and peace, I most admire

Herb of Air, Resin of Water

keep out evil, it shall not bother

This is my will, it will harm none

I’ve said it, and now it’s done.

So mote it be”

Recipe

- this will make a ¼ cup, adjust as needed. It’s a small amount because you don’t need much to get any of the benefits.

Add 1 tsp of dried rose petals to mortar

Add 1 tsp of dried sage or rosemary to mortar

Use pestle to grind herbs until you you have they’re nicely mixed and crushed into a loose powder. It should look like this.

Move ingredients to bowl, and add ¼ cup sea salt.

Add 3 drops of Frankincense essential oil, or the ash from incense stick.

Mix well and say the spell.

And that’s about it! You should have something that looks any of this!

Un myosotis pour ne pas s’oublier.

A sigil to go against the saying “ Out of sight, out of mind”, to keep our love strong despite time and distance, to remember dear ones and for them to remember us.

[l-milkywitch]

Myosotis is the latin name for the flower “Forget-me-Not” that we use in French so you can translate this sigil by “A forget me not to not forget each other.”

You can see below my thinking process for this sigil. Sometimes, i need like twenty more try to be satisfied but this one came easily to me.

✨Witch Tip: Oil Warmer ✨

So everyone loves a good smoke cleansing or oil diffusion, but smoke can aggravate ya lungs/nose/breathing apparatus and those oil diffuser things are hella expensive (I still haven’t found one for under $25.00 USD)

But I present a cheaper alternative to both of these methods, as well as CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS  So here’s what ya gonna need: 

1. one of those wax melter base things

This is what it looks like, they have electric ones too but I prefer the tea light style (I like the real flame detail and that I don’t gotta be near an outlet)

I got mine at the dollar tree for literally 1 dollar and it works perfectly 

basically ya put a tea light in the bottom, and it warms up the top which has a bowl shape to put wax chunks-now here’s where the ‘hack’ comes in

those wax chunks? HELLA EXPENSIVE and they smell all gross and artificial and just generally suck (at least in my experience) plus you only get like yankee candle scent options, like, I can’t pick/build an intent for “Tahitian breeze” if idk wtf is in it so what do you put in the top? COCONUT OIL

A big jar of this stuff is less than $5.00 USD and it took me over a year to go through one jar (and that’s using it for warming in the tea light warmer and for face masks and hair treatments you name it if you can use coconut oil in it I tried it and it still took me a year)-walmart also has an organic version for like $2 more if that’s your thing

the last thing you’re gonna need is ya spices-this is the fun part-I like to match my intent with the associations/properties of whatever spices I’m using (kitchen witches it’s your time to shine) and I literally just use the great value/walmart brand ground spices and make my own blends so to actually get this thing up and running, all you gotta do is put a little tea light in the bottom, a lil scoop of coconut oil in the basin at the top, and sprinkle your spices in 

VOILA you have a customizable, cheap ass air freshener you can match with intent. I love mine in fall when I fill the thing with cinnamon for strength and protection lol-hope you enjoyed!

Rådare (Norse Creatures)

I will be using the Swedish names/words as there are no English translations.

Rådare comes from the word “råda” which means “to rule/take care of” so a rådare is a creature that rules over something.

Every rådare rules over their own thing. For example there’s a skogsrå for every forest.

The easiest way to make them happy is through respect and gifts.

You can protect yourself from them by wearing metal.

Remember that the gift has to be biodegradable! A lot of sources say that you should give coins, clothes, tobacco etc. But this is extremely disrespectful as you’re destroying their home (and it’s generally shitty to pollute).

Even if you haven’t done anything to make them angry it’s always good to show respect by acknowledging them when you enter their home.

Skogsrå

Rules over the forest and the creatures that live there.

Usually looks like a beautiful woman with a hollow back and/or hooves and tail. She can also take the shape of different forest creatures.

If in a good mood she helps those who are lost and warns people about incoming storms.

If in a bad mood she makes sure people get lost.

If you live on your own in/close to a forest (or if you are camping) she might come at night when you’re sitting by the fire and attempt to seduce you. If you sleep with her she will keep a part of your soul and you will always have a longing and obsession with the forest.

If hunters give her gifts she might “give” them an extra big animal. Though if they manage to shoot one of the animals she protects they have to face her wrath

Havsrå

Rules over the ocean and the creatures that lives there.

Usually looks like a beautiful woman with long hair, gills, fins, and a fishtail. She can also take the shape of different sea creatures.

If in a good mood she shows fishermen where they can find the best fish or warns them about incoming storms. She can also give them good wind and help boats that are taking in water.

If in a bad mood she can trick boats into storms so they get lost or sink.

Sometimes she will seduce people and drag them down to her home at the bottom of the ocean where they are forced to work as servants.

She might stop boats and offer to buy their load, if this happens it’s best to accepts as if you say no she might get so angry that she takes down the entire ship.

Sjörå

Rules over lakes and the creatures that live there.

Usually looks like a beautiful woman with a hollow back. Unlike havsrået she has legs. She can also take the shape of different freshwater creatures.

If in a good mood she might help fishermen and warn them about incoming storms.

She only drowns people who have made her angry or if she is very hungry.

Just like skogsrået if fishermen give her gifts she might “give” them an extra big fish. Though if they manage to catch one of the creatures she protects they have to face her wrath.

Gruvrå

Rules over mountains and mines.

Usually looks like a tall woman in an elegant, grey dress. If seen wearing black it is a sure sign of death.

If in a good mood she shows miners better ore veins or warns them about any dangers.

If in a bad mood she tries to scare people away, if they ignore the warning signs she makes sure they get lost in the mine.

Enjoys silence and solitude.

Doesn’t like it when people make too much noise.

Becomes very angry if miners manage find one of the ore veins she protects.

Källrå

Rules over natural springs.

Usually looks like a young girl but most of the time she’s invisible. She can also take the shape of a toad.

If in a good mood she might show you the future though the water surface. It’s important to remember not to look for too long or too deep as you might lose yourself.

If in a bad mood she can make you sick after you’ve drank the water.

A lot of sources will say that if you sacrifice something to her before you drink the water it will heal you as well as make the water clean/drinkable. This is not true. There’s not a magical cure for deceases or disorders. Also there’s no way to magically make water drinkable. Always make sure a natural spring is clean before you drink from it.

This is compiled from my own grimoire / what I was taught growing up

[astrolocherry]

♡ 6th House: Angels of Sacrifice

Sun in the 6th: Identifies strongly with the purpose they have in the lives of other people, the need to be depended on and have plenty of work on hand

Moon in the 6th: Emotionally nourished by coming to the aid of those in need, finds it difficult to leave emotions at home or bring emotions home from work

Mercury in the 6th: Devotes thoughts to others and spends a lot of time considering how people feel and think, how they can be of assistance, and sometimes replaying old criticisms

Venus in the 6th: A natural healer whose love is a healing tonic, shows appreciation and affection through secret and thoughtful gestures, they are always ready to help

Mars in the 6th: Devotes so much internal energy and resource to other people they are burned out, make themselves sick with responsibility and self-expectation

Jupiter in the 6th: Charity offered in silver is returned in gold, confident and proactive workers who instil a lot of self-positivity and hope to help and heal others

Saturn in the 6th: feels pressured to develop profound skills so they can justify their place in the world, they are duty bound to sacrifice themselves to larger than personal needs

Uranus in the 6th: Devises unusual and unique ways to help people and likes a busy and active workplace, easily bored with repetition, uninspired colleagues, and lack of change

Neptune in the 6th: Saviours in the eyes of others, imparted responsibilities for beyond mere mortals, catches psychic colds and sicknesses

Pluto in the 6th: Intensive unconscious need to offer service and sacrifice, somatic pain occurs so they can develop intimate knowledge of the experiences of people they are here to heal

Moon Aspects and Life Lessons 🌘(½)

Moon in aspect to sun: “Attention greedy”

the queen and king complex, emotionally dissociating when they feel as though they’re being ignored or not receiving the attention the believe the deserve. They can project a cold exterior to cope and try to fantasize about scenarios in which they’re “the baddest bitch thus far” some with harsher aspects may use the charm instilled in them to physically create this reality and leave others in their tracks. They need to practice a bit of humility and objectivity! These natives often fail to look at others in a “human” light often unfairly expecting the most from them when those whom they expect the world from might already be giving them a galaxy.

🎙Marina and the diamonds - Blue

Moon in aspect to mercury: “Emotional diarrhea”

intellectualizing the feeling. They can at times when hurt or overwhelmed try to rise above the “emotion” they’re feeling but what happens instead is usually emotional diarrhea! They can struggle keeping a lid on the heavy stuff and because of this they fall harder than anyone when in love because the ordinary valve most of us have that keep our emotions and minds together don’t exist for them. To combat this they resort to robotic behavior or projecting their emotional problems on to everyone else. They need to learn to balance their emotions, but they need to do this by feeling them! Not by trying to pick and choose what you feel as that will only make it much harder to deal with the emotions when they come.

🎛Ed sheeren ft Rudimental - Bloodstream

Moon in aspect to venus: “Emotional fallacy”

mr and mrs broken heart. They are so complicated, the more positive aspects tend to express their wishes through their emotions in a way that reflects how they really feel, but because of the depth involved it can be hard to decipher the intent behind it. Those with the harsher aspects tend to do things out of a mothering instinct but not necessarily because they view it as “good” or “bad” and because of this they can form resentment quicker than anyone when they feel as though there actions are going under appreciated. These natives suffer from the sudden infatuation syndrome! They are either looking for love unconsciously or consciously. They need to face the demon in their closet! The positive aspects need to understand that speaking your mind will ruffle feathers and there is nothing wrong with that! If people leave they leave. The harsher aspects need to realize that the lover your looking for is a reflection of the loneliness in you! Love yourself first! Otherwise the universe will keep sending you Incomplete versions of who you’re supposed to be with.

📸Yeule - separation anxiety

Moon in aspect to mars: “emotional aggression”

these natives suffer from what I like to call restless emotional expression. Unlike moon in Aries which is naturally restless on an emotional level or cancer mars that is naturally defensive/internal emotionally these natives actually meet in the middle of both of these themes but in a more raw way. They have a hard time approaching things in a none personal manner and because of this they can seem as if they’re constantly on edge or easy to trigger, causing others around them to feel intimidated or even weary to explaining anything to these natives-as the response could very well be unpredictable. These natives need to learn that no one is out to get them! Sometimes people are just trying to do whats best for you! No one is trying to undermine you! And having an ego that’s so fragile like that is a reflection of the insecurities lying in you.

⏲Ida Redig - Shout

Moon in aspect to Jupiter: “emotional honesty”

these natives are often caught in what I like to call the on going happy train! But this can also be an issue because as far as having a realistic grasp on life’s situations; these natives lack that important quality of “realism.” They view life as a uphill battle that hits you a few times but the spiritual and emotional rewards from these battles build character to them. Though there is nothing wrong with being optimistic and honestly these are SOME of the most happy and genuine folks you’ll ever meet—one must still be observant of the lack of seriousness embedded in them that at times can make people only see them as a “good time” or “free spirit” but make it hard for people to see them in a more studious or reliable manner. These natives need to learn that it’s okay to cry sometimes! To let the smile down and actually experience sadness or pain. Nothing in life is all sunshine’s.

📟Flume ft Isabella manfredi - The greatest view

Moon in aspect to Saturn: “emotional sabotage”

the Debi downers. These natives struggle more than most with a more free flowing emotional nature. They take things very seriously, be it relationships, work, even play-they feel like there is to be a certain level of responsibility and objectivity in these matters. Albeit it’s good to see the more structured and practical side of life only seeking the hardships can be a drain on anyone no matter how strong they are. These natives are so strong and have an emotional resilience like none other, but where they shine in sturdiness they have a harder time with expressing the more gentle and affectionate side of themselves. They’re so emotional but often this hides behind the heavy wall they’ve built over the years. These natives need to learn to let people in! It’s okay to be vulnerable and it’s okay to let yourself live in the moment, life is far to short to only allow yourself to feel such a small portion of it.

📺Mansionair - Hold me down

Moon in aspect to Uranus: “emotional detachment”

the disappearing act. These natives are very guilty be it positive or harsh aspect of pulling a fast and speedy get away when things get to heavy. Not to say all with this aspect do it for the same reasons but there is a notable tendency to need to brake away when someone tries to get to close, even if it’s a family member. They can open up to friends-(and even that is rare) but those whom they actually have intense feelings for tend to get the short end of the stick. These natives aren’t emotional voids, rather they are an intricate design waiting to be understood, the problem is they don’t let anyone get close enough to try and this is not only a downfall but it’s a emotional road block that many of them have to get over if they wish to understand other aspects of their moon sign. Learn to give things a chance! We know how welcoming and how open you are to new things?! But why don’t you look at the emotions you feel as something new and exciting to give a try?

📱Frank gamble - Myths.

Moon in aspect to Neptune: “emotional illusion”

These natives see what they want to see, and at times it’s what makes them feel emotionally safe. These natives are very vulnerable to the world due to their deep receptivity and emotional resonance with others. To combat the hardships and often less glamorous side of life they spend much of their time unknowingly viewing people in a portrait like image, completely unlike what the person might actually be like. They have a hard time seeing things for what it is and often upon being disillusioned they can have the nasty habit of acting as if everyone played them in some horrible joke, when in reality the only one who took part in the joke was them. They have to learn to take people how they are not how they want them to be.

🎞Paramore - decode

Moon in aspect to Pluto: “emotional intensity”

there is a tendency to allow their emotions eat away at them, these natives have such a powerful emotional energy but they often don’t watch how it’s being expressed which can often either create an air of tension or unknowingly attract negative energy to them. Due to the intensity and powerful nature of Pluto there is a pronounced karmic energy that surrounds these individuals that often is tied to how they’re feeling, and if not kept in check they can shroud those around them in the same bad mood they happen to be in. These natives in turn tend to blame others for acting shady or untruthful/mysterious and or evil when in reality it’s the type of energy they’re unknowingly sending out into the universe! These natives need to practice healthy energy releases as to not let any malefic feelings build up and express itself as atmospheric tension.

☎️Disclosure - Jaded

Moon in aspect to Lilith: “emotional judgement”

there is a tendency for these natives to have this “the fittest survive” mentality which can push people away. They view life in a very black and white mentality that in a sense can pass judgment on others without really even giving them a chance. They are so powerful and genuine but this can already scare some who might not have the same confidence or even the same level of emotional comfortability. These natives often waste so much of their psychic and spiritual abilities on building emotional walls and setting unfair judgements on others. They need to learn vulnerability and hubris.

Transmuting Anger & Negativity To Be Useful

Transmuting Anger & Negativity To Be Useful

A lot of people look at anger as some sort of problem, but there’s nothing wrong with being angry. Anger is an emotion and every emotion deserves to be felt and expressed. That doesn’t mean when you’re angry you should rage and engage in reckless or destructive behavior, that IS a problem. However, anger can be used productively when expressed in a healthy way. Some people when they are angry…

I've recently started to dabble in being a death witch & one of my close friends is has a very angry spirit attached to her that has physically hurt her before. Is there anything I can do to help her?

I’m sorry to hear that. I know it all too well. You’ll need a strong banishing spell, then set up a ward soon afterwards. Those spirits may try for a while longer until they finally leave you alone. If it takes too long, bind the spirit. Show no mercy.

In the meantime, you can try to protect your friend’s body. Drawing the rune algiz on my body has helped keep spirits from touching me. The Sator square written in a room should help as well. Best of luck.

A Spell For Getting Sleep:

I stole a bit from the wish everyone used to make when they saw the first star in the sky because I felt it might have the right power attached.

What you need:

• your voice

• your energy

• a place to sleep

What to do: Lay down and get comfy wherever it is you want to sleep, you don’t need to make any movements or anything.

Focus on how you feel when you’re peaceful and half asleep, or how you remember it feeling for my friends with insomnia.

Keep focusing on that and envision these words floating out of your mouth to activate them( they can glow, dissipate, or anything you want them to do):

I wish I may, I wish I might

Have the sleep I need tonight

Not too early, not too late

Make me rested when I wake

I wish I may, I wish I might

Have the sleep I need tonight

That’s it, sweet dreams!

Συγκεραννυμι

I practice a kind of witchcraft that is based on popular beliefs, since I’ve learned a lot from my grandmother. I find this kind of folkloristic rituals really fascinating because they’re based on a substrate of religious beliefs intertwined with pagan and esoteric rites. I’ve learned from my grandmother to check moon phases before cutting my hair, planting vegetables and so on. This connection with nature and its cycles goes even farther when blended with religion, resulting in a religious syncretism rooted both in the material and the spiritual world.
