Hey guys! I modified this spell a few days ago (original spell from 1001 Spells by Cassandra Eason) and performed it and have already had some really positive results, so I figured I’d share it. This spell features the angelic language Enochian, but also comes with English words as well for those unfamiliar or uncomfortable with using the language. 

This spell calls on Archangel Raphael to help in healing the addiction and make the right choices.

If you’re interested in the spell, please keep reading below the drop!!!

***Keep in mind, my iteration of Enochian is not 100% traditional, though it does have its roots there. This is a modified version of this language the angels have been working on with me to bring the language into the modern day.***

Supplies Needed:

  • 6 Tealight or Green Candles to energize the spell
  • 6 Items to represent you spending habits (bank cards/wallets/cash/bank statements/debit, credit, or gift cards/loyalty cards/receipts)
  • 22 (number of balance and duality) Coins of any denomination to save 
  • A container to keep the coins (piggy bank/money box or jar)
  • Turquoise to aid in healing
  • Green Aventurine for luck and saving

The Spell:

  1. Place your money box in the center of your work space.
  2. Place the six spending items around the money box.
  3. Place the six candles around the spending items.
  4. Place the 22 coins around the candles.
  5. Place the Green Aventurine at the base of your work space to show the heart of the issue.
  6. Place the Turquoise at the top of your work space to show the head of the issue.
  7. Light the candles starting from the top, and going clockwise.
  8. Touch each of your spending items, going clockwise, repeating either phrase:

    ENGLISH:
    “Reject my desires to needlessly spend, and separate them from my reality. My will is to save and grow, and I know I am able. Establish a new balance, and give me the energy to make the right choices. Archangel Raphael, guide me.

    ENOCHIAN:
     “Geyzo eymid patyub, Phoxan moten.”

  9. One by one, place each coin in the box repeating either phrase:

    ENGLISH: “Please give me the possibility to make a clear choice, and energize my will to put priorities first, Archangel Raphael.

    ENOCHIAN:
     “Dubiel, Phoxan”

  10. Place the Green Aventurine in the box saying either phrase:

    ENGLISH: “Harm the course and being of none.”

    ENOCHIAN: “Voog”

  11. Close the box and place the Turquoise on top of the box repeating the same phrase from Step 10.
  12. Blow out the candles one by one, starting at the top and going clockwise.
  13. Place the box where you will see it often, and do not open the box unless it’s to put something INthe box.
  14. Anytime you want to spend money, repeat the phrase from Step 9 before doing so, then decide if you should continue with the purchase.

A Practical Guide to Herbology

Lesson Three: Soothing Salves

Salves are a simple yet effective way of applying the medicinal qualities of herbs. They’re the consistency of a cream at room temperature and portable for on-the-go topical application. By combining various herbal-infused oils, an individual can address a variety of ailments, from arthritis to asthma. Each salve can be customized to the individual to treat a specific illness or can be general all-heal tool in your first aid kit.

Base Ingredients

Herbal-infused Oils

To craft a salve, you must start with herbal-infused oils as your primary base. For this, there are two components: your choice of herb(s) and your choice of carrier oil(s). Some commonly used carrier oils are olive, grapeseed, almond and safflower. 

At the end of this post, there will be an overview of common herbs and carrier oils so that you can make an educated decision when crafting your herbal-infused oils.

Here are two basic methods of infusion:

Solar Method (Folk Method)

  1. Take a sterilized jar and fill ⅓ to ½ of it with your choice of driedherbs.

  2. Cover with your carrier oil. Add around 500 IUs of vitamin E oil for every 8 oz. of carrier oil to prolong shelf life.

  3. Cap the jar tightly and place in a sunny space - either outdoors or indoors. Shake it daily.

  4. Allow the mixture to infuse for 2 to 3 weeks, or until the oil takes on the colour or aroma of the herb within. 

  5. Once the oil is ready, strain using a cheesecloth and bottle into a tinted sterilized jar. Store in a cool, dark place.

Slow Cooker or Stove top (Fast Method)

  1. Place your choice of driedherbs in your slow cooker or pot and cover with your carrier oil. Add around 500 IUs of vitamin E oil for every 8 oz. of carrier oil to prolong shelf life.

  2. Gently heat the herbs on very low heat (100 - 140 degrees Fahrenheit) for 1 - 5 hours until the oil takes on the colour and scent of the herb. You can cook it for longer at 100 F if you would like.

  3. Turn off heat and allow to cool. Once the oil is ready, strain using a cheesecloth and bottle into a tinted sterilized jar. Store in a cool, dark place.

Do not use fresh herbs when crafting herbal-infused oils. They contain moisture and promote the growth of mold, especially if infused via solar method.

Wax

Waxes are frequently used in making cosmetics, body care products and salves: they help to bind and emulsify ointments and lotions. They also function as a natural hydrating ingredient and alleviate itching for those with sensitive skin.

The most commonly-used wax for crafting salves is beeswax; however, vegans and those with allergies can utilize carnauba wax which is sourced from the leaves of a Brazilian palm tree.

Method

Once the herbal-infused oils are prepared, the process of making a salve only takes a few minutes. Here are the steps involved in the process:

  1. On low to medium heat, warm the herbal-infused oil(s) in the top of a double boiler or in a small saucepan. 

  2. Add the wax. Once the wax has melted, remove from heat.

  3. If any, stir in any additional ingredients of your choice, such as essential oils.

  4. Pour into your designated container(s).

Common Carrier Oils

Almond oil, sweet: A fantastic carrier oil that contains fatty acids and vitamins A and E. It’s an effective emollient for moisturizing both skin and hair and is easily absorbed by skin.

Argan oil: This is a staple in moisturizing skin and hair care products. Argan oil contains tocopherols, phenols, carotenes, squaline and fatty acids - it’s a truly luxurious oil.

Evening primrose oil: Prized for its health and cosmetic benefits.

Grapeseed oil: A common base for many creams and lotions - it’s the go-to carrier oil since it’s especially useful for skin types that do not absorb oils well and does not leave a greasy feeling.

Olive oil: The most commonly-used oil in cosmetics and hair care.

Safflower oil: A highly-moisturizing oil that soothes troubled skin.

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

Frank Herbert, Dune (1965)

traumacatholic:

After making the sign of the cross while holding the crucifix of the rosary, say the Apostles’ Creed.

I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,  who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried; he descended into hell; on the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty; from there he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.

On the first large bead, pray the Our Father.

Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, Amen.

Pray three Hail Marys on the following three beads.

Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

At the next large bead, pray the Glory Be.

Glory be to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

On the large beads before each decade pray the following prayer.

O Holy Souls draw the fire of God’s love into my soul, to reveal Jesus Crucified in me here on earth, rather than hereafter in Purgatory.

Then on the small beads pray this prayer.

Crucified Lord Jesus, have mercy on the souls in Purgatory.

At the conclusion of the chaplet, pray 3 Glory Be prayers.

Blessed Souls,

I have prayed for thee;

I entreat thee, who are so dear to God,

and who are secure of never losing Him,

to pray for me a miserable sinner,

who is in danger of being damned,

and of losing God forever. Amen

toverijenspokerij: As today is All Souls Day, I thought that another prayer for the dead in Purgator

toverijenspokerij:

As today is All Souls Day, I thought that another prayer for the dead in Purgatory would be appropriate. This with the prayer of St Gertrude the Great. As prayer in my eyes can be seen as an act of Charity, I will be posting the ‘Heroic Act of Charity‘ for the souls in Purgatory. Since I found that these prayers together, create a good flow of energy/they go well together.

The Prayer of St. Gertrude the Great is one of the most famous- and one of my favorites -of the prayers for souls in purgatory. St. Gertrude the Great- as seen above -was a Benedictine nun and mystic who lived in the 13th century. According to tradition, our Lord promised her that 1000 souls would be released from purgatory each time it is prayed devoutly.

Before you start, you don’t actually need anything for this prayer. But if you want to light a candle, put out a glass or two of water, and hold your rosary and recite an Our Father and a Hail Mary before, feel free. 

Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the masses said throughout the world today, for all the holy souls in purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal church, those in my own home and within my family. Amen.” 

The Heroic Act of Charity Prayer: A lot of devoted people regard this prayer as especially powerful, calling to mind as it does call on a powerful intercessor with our Lord, His Mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary! 

“Heavenly Father, in union with the merits of Jesus and Mary, I offer to You for the sake of the poor souls all the satisfactory value of my works during life, as well as all that will be done for me after death. I give You my all through the hands of the Immaculate Virgin Mary that she may set free whatever souls she pleases, according to her heavenly wisdom and mother’s love for them. Receive this offering, O God, and grant me in return an increase of Your grace. Amen.”

Pray for those that are in purgatory and they will pray for you.

The full version of the large  illustration I finished last week! One of my favorite things I’ve had the chance to work on– know I say that about like, everything, but truly I always love being able to work on large complex projects like this. I took a lot of inspiration from medieval and orthodox-style artwork to bring this to life using a lot of reds and bold colors, which I really enjoyed.

 The high-res and unwatermarked version, as well as the lineart-only version is available to view on patre0n as usual.


[ID: a vertical sleeve illustration made up of three angel inspired patterns and designs, connected loosely by firey patterns.  The top design is of a six-winged seraph with a red halo surrounded by orange flame and surrounded by eye designs, the text around the angelic figure reads “Holy, Holy, Holy, is the Lord of Hosts / The whole earth is full with his Glory”. The second image below it is of an Ophan, or wheeled angel with three interlinked rings covered with eyes with brown irisies and flanked with two pairs of wings, surrounded by red and blue flames. The text around it reads “Holy Holy Holy is the Lord God Almighty / who was and is and is to come / Worthy are you our Lord and God to receive Glory and Honor and Power”. The Third image is of two intertwined winged serpent figures with green leaves and branches behind them. The serpents have red haloes and have bodies covered with eyes with brown irises. The text around them reads “For you created all things / and by your will they existed and were created.” The last three images are detail shots of the larger image focusing on the three main elements.  /end ID]

Ok so this post is extremely long and I put it all together for my blogs Feeling sad page but as I don’t have a huge amount of followers I realize so many people are not seeing this information so I’m posting it here too!

alternatives without harming yourself:

  • holding/squeezing ice.
  • splashing your face with water.
  • getting a rubber band and snapping it against your skin (this could hurt, though it’s better than other ways that people usually choose to self-harm).
  • take a hot shower or bath.
  • eat something sour. it will take your mind of the urge. (lemon, sour lollies)
  • massage where you want to self-harm.
  • get a red pen or red paint and draw/paint over where you usually self-harm.
  • remind yourself as to why you shouldn’t do it. (scars, harms organs, leave memories etc…)
  • describe what you are feeling. (is the urge/pain in your chest, fists, legs, arms, head).

killing yourself will not help. it is not a solution.

you have your whole life ahead of you. you have so many more years that you can accomplish things in.
for example;

  • having a family.
  • getting married.
  • to watch the sun rise.
  • to watch the sun set.
  • to save someone else’s life.
  • finish school.
  • get your dream job.
  • to laugh.
  • to smile.
  • to go camping.
  • travel to new places.
  • to wake up every morning to the person you love.
  • friends.
  • family.
  • to keep that promise you made.
  • to accomplish a goal.
  • to meet your idol.
  • to listen to new music.
  • theme parks.
  • video games.
  • chocolate.
  • to be able to look back and say “i made it”.

what you’re going through is temporary.

in case you need to hear this:

  • you are loved.
  • you are wanted.
  • you are needed.
  • you are beautiful.
  • you are handsome.
  • you are important.
  • you are not alone.
  • you are okay.
  • you are strong.
  • you are worth it.
  • you are smart.
  • you are not a failure.
  • you are useful.
  • you are going to be okay.

christowitch:

Man its actually been hot minute since i was told I cant be what I already am.

It makes me feel like a mythical creature… Is this what the fae feel like when people say they aren’t real….extra mythical…

 It feeds my swamp witch soul.
