Spell for Strengthening Will When Sick

I had an anonymous request for a spell for good health for a struggling acquaintance. I can’t, in good consciousness, write a spell and say that it will help physically heal someone, I am comfortable writing something more supportive. To apply it to someone other than yourself, change the visualization from you to the person you are casting it for.

Supplies:

One chunk of Amethyst or Rose Quartz Stones - associated with healing

Chamomile (from a tea bag is fine) - Considered a cure-all folk remedy

Willow Bark (mint can be substituted for this if you are unable to find any) - For pain management)

Salt - Protection

Green Candle - Green is associated with growth and renewal

A small bowl filled with raisins

Steps:

Cleanse your magickal working area.

Envision your body radiating a dull glowing color. The color should progressively grow brighter and stronger with each of the following steps. By the end of the spell, it should be near-blinding.

Light the green candle.

Say, “I am ridding my body of which that is corrupting my will and my ability to fight”.

Pour the raisins out of the bowl

Say, “The path of healing is before me”.

Place the Chamomile in the bowl.

Say, “My determination will not be corrupted by pain”.

Mix in the Willow Bark/Mint.

Say, “While I am healing, I will not allow any other to take advantage of my difficulties”

Mix in the Salt.

Hold the amethyst over your heart and, while doing so, say, “I will it be.”

*You should use this spell alongside professional treatment instead of as a substitute. In no way does this spell guarantee nor imply that it will heal illnesses

MABON

Mabon is coming up everyone!

It will start Sep 21 and end on Sep 29

For all those who don’t know Mabon is time for harvest when night and day are equal. For us it’s a time of balance, cleansing, and reflection.

Activities:

(Colours: gold, rust, orange, red, bronze)

1. Clean your house/room. Cleaning can help clear your thoughts and help restore balance and calm, as you clean your space also focus on cleaning your mind

2. Create an alter of apples, leaves, pine cones, corn, pomegranate, squash, and root vegetables and light candles in according to colours

3. Meditation: This is a great way to incorporate balance into your life and reflect on the past so that you can move on to a better future

4. Bake: for example baking pies with fruits and vegetables that are ready to harvest like apples and pumpkins

5. Decorate: decorating your house with the Mabon colours along with other accessories can help get you in the mood

6. Tea: I love tea so around this time of year chai tea and pumpkin spice are the perfect drinks to celebrate Mabon

Many people celebrate this holiday differently so there are many other things you can also do but these are just some of the things I do

Created this little wish box a while back to manifest my dreams.

It was super easy to make, mostly because these boxes are very personal so it’s filled with a lot of personal things which required me to buy very little but here’s a list of things I did buy:

Box - dollarama

Mini card deck - michaels

Felt - this you can get anywhere but I got it from michaels

Letter beads - michaels

Mini bottles - michaels

- Optional -

Mini clothes pins - michaels

Paint - any craft store

- Trinkets -

These should be personal objects that make you happy or bring you luck. They can be anything as long as they fit in the box.

You can also fill your box with herbs / oils that are related to your specific wishes for example basil for wealth.

——————

Once your box is made you can start filling it with wishes:

This can be done in a number of ways but I like to focus on one wish at a time so it has time to manifest. Once you’ve placed your wish in the box (I like to put them in the mini bottles but you don’t have to) return to the box every day and think about your wish. The box will help manifest these wishes into reality!

Hope this was helpful and that all your wishes come true ✨

100 Ways to Incorporate Magic Into Your Daily Life

[jennycalabro]

Things have been crazy lately so I just wanted to take a moment and remind you to love yourself because you are important!  No matter who you are or where you come from! Don’t ever let anyone tell you otherwise!

I decided to make a step by step “How-to Jenny’s Witchy Brew” for Self Love ~ Rose Soy Milk Tea <3

Things you will need: -Rose Tea: I get mine at 99 Ranch Market but it’s essentially just dried rose hips so if you have rose hips that you can dry out, that will work too! You will want to use 6-8 rose buds, the more you add the stronger the flavor!

-Organic Soy Milk: This can be regular milk or almond milk, I prefer unsweetened organic soy milk. If you decide to use soy make sure it’s organic! Brands such as ‘Silk’ isn’t good, even if they claim it’s organic, for some reason it burns and wont cook right. It’s gotta be the real deal! For this recipe you only need 1 cup. -Honey: Any kind of organic honey will do, if you have herbal honey that’s even better for adding more florals to your tea! I usually add about 2-3 teaspoons, but feel free to add to taste! -Cinnamon & Nutmeg: This is optional! I like to add just a pinch of both spices to add a little kick to my tea. If you don’t care for spice try ¼ teaspoon of vanilla extract instead!

-Sugar: This is also optional, I like my tea to be a little on the sweet side & since we are using organic unsweetened soy milk it helps to really sweeten it up! I only use barely a ½ teaspoon,  but just add to taste!

-Small Pot

-Mesh Strainer: For removing the flowers once it’s cooked.

-Your Favorite Mug! Mine is a black mug with my astrological sign gold leafed into it!

Before starting, take a moment to close your eyes, clear your mind, breathe deeply through your nose and slowly release through your mouth (do this a few times). Visualize letting go of any negativity or weight you may be carrying on your shoulders…now…

<3 LET’S GET BREWING! <3

1- Pour soy milk into pot, turn heat on low

2- Add rose tea, gently crumble a couple of the buds

3- Add cinnamon, nutmeg and sugar

4- Add desired amount of honey; while you slowly drizzle it in feel free to draw symbols with it such as hearts or infinity symbols- whatever you feel is right for helping to instill your manifestations of self love into your tea!

5- Stir your brew clockwise! While slowly stirring visualize the self love that this tea will bring you & say some positive affirmations about yourself such as:

“I love the person I am, I am strong & caring, I am creative, I am beautiful inside and out…” say whatever best suits your needs for self love and take a moment to appreciate the wonderful person you are! <3

6- Let your tea brew for approximately 10 minutes on low stirring occasionally to prevent scorching. DON’T LET IT BOIL! You want to create an infusion of the flowers which means a longer slower heating process. Boiling will mean scorching the flowers and milk!

7- You’ll notice the rose buds will begin to loose their color, remove your brew from the heat to let it cool and allow the tea to steep for about 3 minutes.

8- Remove roses with mesh strainer and compost.

Enjoy! As you drink, visualize your tea as a pink white healing light of love and remember your affirmations taking deep breaths in-between each sip! <3

I hope you all enjoyed this & that your tea was delicious & full of positive energy! Feel free to try making this with other flowers which have different properties such as: lavender & chamomile for happiness and relaxation! Much Love <3
