Some witchy reminders for baby witches:
Spells DO work. ❤
Hexes and jinxes are temporary.
Sigil circles don't have to be neat.
Incantations don't have to rhyme to work.
You don't need expensive tools to cast a spell. You just need your intent and your voice.
Curses can be deadly. Please make sure you can morally handle the outcome of the curses you cast.
Sigil circles are fantastic for witches who lack creativity (don't feel discouraged I have little to no creativity).
Your first spell will not always be successful. Keep trying. Don't keep thinking about the spell you've casted. Let the outcome show itself to you.
This is all I can think of but I'll definitely post more. If you'd like to see an example of my super sloppy sigil circle, feel free to ask. ❤
😌Magical Self-Care😌
Recently I have been really stressful and in the near future I need a little personal time. You know just me, a good book, a cup of tea and some self care.
In one of Arin Murphy-Hiscock’s book called ‘The Witch’s Book of Self-Care’ I found some good recipes which I’m gonne try as soon as possible!
🍪Vanilla Cookie Sugar Scrub🍪
This lovely scrub will make your skin so smooth and glowing! Plus it has amazing smell.
You need:
¼ cup coconut oil
¼ cup brown sugar
¼ teaspoon vanilla extrac
4-ounce glass jar or plastic storage container with lid
Additional: to make it smell more amazing, you can add a pinch of ground cinnamon or giner and allspice!
Additional: I gonna try to add some pumpkin spice to the scrub to make it smell like autumn!
How to do it:
Mix all the ingredients together in a small jar.
To use, massage onto skin
After rinse with warm water
Pat dry.
🌸Relaxing Bath Oil🌸
‘This is a lovely, all-purpose blend for relaxing in the bath. It’s good before bed, or when you need to unwind after a tense day at work.‘
You need:
Rose quartz stone ( Make sure the stone is small enough to fit in the bottle you intend to use.)
1 cup carrier oil of you choice
Bottle with lid
5 drops lavender essential oil
5 drops lavender essential oil
3 drops frankincense essential oil
2 drops sandalwood essential oil
White candle and candleholder
Matches or lighter
Label and pen or marker
How to do it:
Cleanse the stone
Pour the carrier oil into the bottle. Add the essential oils. Cap the bottle and gently shake to blend the oils.
Pour the carrier oil into the bottle. Add the essential oils. Cap the bottle and gently shake to blend the oils.
Let the candle burn down. Label the bottle
Allow the oil to rest at least a week, if possible, to develop before using.
To use, add 2–4 tablespoons to your bath and swish your hands around to help disperse the oil in the water.
🍚Magical Body Butter Blend: Serenity🍚
As you can see this blend contains jasmine, rose and lavender oil to create a blend that attracts balance and peace.The blue candle and amethyst, jade, and moonstone also work to underline peace and to calm stress.
You need:
1 recipe Body Butter
4 drops jasmine essential oil
4 drops rose essential oil
2 drops lavender essential oil
Pale blue candle and candleholder
Matches or lighter
Amethyst stone
Jade stone
Moonstone
How to do it:
Prepare the Body Butter as per the previous recipe, adding the jasmine, rose, and lavender oils where essential oils are indicated in the recipe.
When the Magical Body Butter is finished and placed in the container, bring it to your work space. Set the candle in the center of the work space, place the container of butter in front of it, and arrange the three stones in a semicircle in front of the container.
Light the pale blue candle, and say: Spirits of serenity, I invite you here. Lend to this butter your peace, your calm. May I be blessed by you each time I use it. .
Touch the amethyst and say, “Amethyst, I invoke your calm. Lend it to this butter.”
Touch the jade and say, “Jade, I invoke your tranquility. Lend it to this butter.” 6. Touch the moonstone and say, “Moonstone, I invoke your peace. Lend it to this butter.”
Sit at your work space with your eyes closed, breathing deeply, sensing the calm around you. When you feel it is right, you may extinguish the candle and leave, or allow the candle to burn down completely to continue to charge the butter.
🌼Herbal Tea Hair Rinse🌼
Just as an addiction I added my herbal hair rinse to this list because for me it works really well. My hair is less greasy plus I love the smell of my hair after this rinse. 😊
You need:
1 tablespoon of Chamomile tea
1 tablespoon of Green tea
1 tablespoon of Jasmine tea
1 tablespoon of Peppermint tea
1 tablespoon of Lavender tea
1 tablespoon of Rooibos tea
Additional: One of them drawed my attention to rosemary which can be a good addition to this recipe! So if you would like to add rosemary as well in my opinion 1 tablespoon of it will be enough.
How to do it:
Brew a strong tea out of the herbs. (Because I have long hair I usually make 1 liter of strong brew.)
Let it sit and cool to roome temperature.
After washing your hair and putting your regular balming your hair, slowly pour the brew through your hair and massage your scalp.
You can rinse with water your hair after the herbal rinse, but personally I love leaving out this step because water makes the good herbal tea smell go away.
🍵Herbal tea for relaxation🍵
As I mentioned before there is no relaxation without a good cup of your favorite tea. Here I mention some tea which is excellent for reliving stress and soothing both your body and mind.
Calming teas:
Chamomile: used for antianxiety, relaxation
Green Tea: helps combat anxiety and stress, keeps you alert yet calm enough without making you feel drowsy
Lavender: relaxation, good for addressing emotional stress
Lemon Balm: soothe headaches, calm anxiety, and treat insomnia
Lemon Verbena: promotes restful sleep, works as an antiinflammatory, improves digestion, calms nerves, eases stress, functions as an antioxidant
Passion Flower: combats anxiety, panic, insomnia, and depression, calms nerve pain, help balance mood
Peppermint: reduce stress and relieves you from anxiety,
Rose tea: helps remedy stress and anxiety, calming effect
Skullcap: treat anxiety, headaches, and insomnia, promotes relaxation
Vervain: possesses an antianxiety, relaxant, sedative effect, strong antioxidant, it packs a lot of vitamin C

TAROT tips for Beginners 🌙
⭐︎ Cleanse your deck after you buy it!! This is so so important, because you want to start working with a new clean energy.
⭐︎ There are thousands of ways to cleanse your deck. Cleansing can be something super simple, as just knocking on your deck 3 times or placing a crystal on top of the deck! Just do what feels right.
⭐︎ Interview your deck! After you buy new cards, talk to them, ask them questions and figure out the decks personality. There are a lot of fun spreads for this.
⭐︎ Sleep with your deck. Another good way to bond with your deck is sleeping with it near you. Just put it under your pillow or somewhere close to you over night!
⭐︎ You don’t have to read reversals. It’s up to you if you decide to turn the card back around. Again, do what feels right!
⭐︎ Reversals don’t always equal opposites. If you decide to read reversals, remember that it can have completely different meaning then just being opposite of the upright position.
⭐︎ Start simple. Start out with something simple like past/present/future spread. It’s super easy and gives you clarity on any situation.
⭐︎ Spend time looking at the picture. When you pull a card, really spend time observing at all the different colors and symbols before you look up the meaning.
⭐︎ Jumping cards usually have something important to tell you. If you’re shuffling your deck and a card jumps out, look up what it means and what message it has for you!
⭐︎ Pull a daily card each morning. This is super fun and easy. You definitely don’t need to do this everyday, but it’s a good way to memorize the cards and their meanings.
and finally, practice, practice and practice! It’s going to take a while until you remember all the meanings, but just have fun and enjoy the process!🦋

Physical benifits of Raspberries include: Red Raspberries have a lot of ellagic acid which helps promote the healthy death of old cells, helping to prevent cancerous ones from forming. They’re very high in vitamin C, and have many anti-carcinogenic effects. Raspberry tea can help to sooth pains that come with the menstrual cycle and studies have shown that the antioxidants they have protect against heart disease and age-related mental decline.
Metaphysical properties of Raspberries include: Raspberries are associated with the feminine energy as well as being a fruit of passion and matters of the heart. They are also associated with love, protection, fertility, growth and adaptability. Often Raspberries are used in spells for glamor, while their throny branches and leaves are used in protection and strength spells.
Happy practicing!
