self love potion

- ✨

this potion is great for invoking self love, healing, and calming; it allows you to become more patient and gentle with yourself, encouraging an environment of forgiveness and an inner sense of comfort.

you can pour some in a bath or use culinary grade ingredients and keep refrigerated to drink as a potion, you could keep a bottle by your nightstand, or gift a bottle to a friend/partner, and this would serve as a wonderful alter decor/offering for aphrodite or even fae, there’s plenty of ways to incorporate the potion into your craft!

-

[what you’ll need;]

-honey

communication, love, happiness, harmony, healing, abundance, forgiveness

-rose petals *

love, healing, relaxation, gentle thoughts and energies, confidence

- full moon water

power punch, intuition, mental clarity, comfort, healing

-pinch of sugar

wish granting, love, confidence, joy, turns negative self image sweet

-pinch of sea or pink salt[optional**]

love, calming, power punch, healing, regeneration, detoxification of negative energies or thought patterns

-

*for this potion pink or red rose petals would work best but i suppose you could use any! white is also a good option here

**if you don’t have sea/pink salt don’t worry about substituting it’s better to just leave it out at that point, its not for the salts protective qualities but for the calming & healing effect sea/pink salts have!

[now what?]

this one is super simple to put together, all you’ve gotta do is get everything in a pot and simmer it on crazy low heat (barely any action just enough to coerce the infusion together)

strain and bottle up! you alternately could brew it in a bottle on a windowsill perhaps but don’t leave it there too long it’ll go rancid! be careful!

-

as always feel free to ask any questions about the potion/process! i really love this potion and i hope you guys do too!

i made my first real spell jar!

my mother received a beautiful kalanchoe plant as a gift and since she isn’t the best at keeping plants alive, she gave it to me to take care of! i trimmed back a few flowers today and i hated the idea of throwing them away, so i decided to make a spell jar to help protect and guide me.

supplies:

• white candle
• small glass jar (i got mine for a dollar from target with some glitter for a project and ended up buying four more because they’re so pretty)
• flower or plant that you want to cherish (i used my kalanchoe (symbolizing life) along with a few dried pansies (love, divination) that i grew a while ago)
• basil (for protection)
• cinnamon (for happiness)
• chamomile (for peace)
• allspice (for healing)
• himalayan salt (for cleansing)
• bay leaves (for strength)
• lavender oil (comfort)
• ylang ylang oil (confidence)
• witch hazel (healing)
• water (purity)
• rose quartz (optional; only use outside of the actual jar though!)

spell:

first, light the candle and hold the jar over it while saying,

“let this glass protect me and guide me. let my thoughts be as clear and my mind be as strong.”

next, pour small amounts of all the spices and herbs in one by one, stating their intentions while doing so. after they are done, pour a larger amount of salt on top of the spices to shield them. add a few drops of lavender oil and hold the jar over the candle again.

“may each of these spices protect me and heal me. let them help me to become a better version of myself.”

next, place the bay leaves in the jar with the flowers on top of them. add a few drops of ylang ylang oil. then fill the jar about ¼ with witch hazel. lastly, fill the jar the rest of the way with water. one last time, hold the jar above the flame.

“let my life be as beautiful as flowers and as strong as bay leaves. let this jar of hope guide and shield me.”

once the jar is done, close the jar and pour the wax from the candle on top of the cork to seal it. if wanted, use a lighter to melt away the extra wax. blow out the candle and you’re done!

Music: Medicine for the Soul

Music communes with the human soul in more ways than one can imagine. Do you ever wonder why certain songs resonate with you more powerfully than others? It is because that music is on the same vibrational level as your soul!

How to use music in your life:

• Manifesting

Put your intent into the song and watch your desired life unfold before your eyes!

• Spellcasting

Incorporating songs with high vibrations into your spells or making elixirs can amplify their desired effect

• Alignment

Use music, particularly sounds, to align your body and soul. Each chakra has a corresponding sound, and meditation can be powerful with your favorite track playing in the background

Be well, be love, be positive!

Hay Fever Remedies in Witchcraft

I’ll just preface this by saying I’m in no way a medical professional, and this post is to be considered in additionto your normal medication, not as a replacement.

These last few weeks I’ve come to a shocking discovery that in hind sight, shouldn’t be that shocking. All those years I thought I had a bad immune system and got a cold every year during the spring and summer, it was never a cold. It was just hay fever. When I realised this last week I felt pretty stupid for not realising it sooner, especially when some members of my family have it too. Of course, for me, hay fever isn’t the end of the world or anything, it’s just an inconvenience.

So in addition to taking normal over-the-counter hay fever medication, I made a list for myself of basic witch-care-ish things I can do to improve myself during these times (context: its currently Summer in Australia and the tree outside my window blooms the worst flowers for hay fever).

Crystals:

With my crystal collection growing, I always try to find ways to use them. They can be carried in a pouch, worn around your neck, made into a crystal elixir for drinking or spraying into the air, kept under your pillow while you sleep. These are the crystals most commonly associated with relief from hay fever:

• Aquamarine: hay fever and throat problems
• Blue lace agate: throat problems and respiratory issues
• Carnelian: hay fever and allergies
• Jet: respiratory issues

Plants:

I… have a lot of plants in my room. Mainly ones that don’t bloom flowers, but there’s still a lot. I’m stubborn and don’t want to get rid of them (even though it’s probably recommended that you just take them out of your room) so heres some alternatives I’ve come up with.

• First things first is to change the soil of your pot plants. In addition to pollen, any mold growing deep within or on top of your soil can cause an allergic reaction with symptoms similar to hay fever. To avoid more mold growing, don’t over-water your plants after you change the soil. This will also make your plants happy so it’s a win-win
• Dry out your flowers instead of using fresh ones. I often like to buy flowers for myself and put them in a vase, or just pick them. Of course, that’s probably not a good idea anymore, so I decided to just hang-dry the flowers I picked and use them for decoration in a vase instead. They’re just as cute, and give cottage-core vibes
• If you have flowering plants, consider temporarily relocating them out of the main spaces you’re in everyday. For me, I’m always in my bedroom, so it’s more convenient if I move my flowering plants to the living room.
• For flowering trees outside (like the australian red-flowering gum outside my window), the best you can do is not open your window. For me, the tree is on the nature strip and is owned by the council, so there’s nothing I can do there. But if you need fresh air within your room, this next point will come in handy

Negative ions:

If you have a Himalayan salt lamp you may be familiar with the concept of negative and positive ions. Positive ions—produced by electronics—can aggravate respiratory conditions, while negative ions from salt lamps can counteract this by removing microscopic dust particles and mold from the air. This way, you can have a higher air quality inside without opening your window and exposing yourself to pollen.

Spring/summer cleaning:

In addition to the pollen, sneezing could be caused by a reaction to the dust around you. It’s a good idea to do a deep clean of the room you spend most of your time in (I do my bedroom) and really dust off all of your shelves, books and items. Even if it’s not just the dust causing the sneezing, it’s probably not helping to have it there.

Make sure to clean your air conditioner. It’s often neglected, and when you want to turn it on during those hot months, all it does is blow around more dust for you to breathe in.

Aromatherapy:

These remedies can both improve respiratory issues and improve the energy in your home at the same time, which will reduce your symptoms and put you in a better mood.

• Buy fresh eucalyptus leaves from your local flower store or take fallen clippings from a tree. Hang it above your shower head or bath tap and turn on the hot water, so the oils from the eucalyptus release into the air. this will help open up your sinuses and respiratory tract so you can breath easier
• Brew tea such as lemongrass, chamomile and ginger to sooth your throat and clear your sinuses
• Burn oils such as lavender, eucalyptus, tea tree, peppermint and lemon to clear your sinuses and relieve allergy symptoms

Instant relief:

• Always use medication prescribed to you, or medication you’ve bought over-the-counter. Make sure your medication hasn’t expired (…oops)
• Sleep on a gel pillow. This will help sooth any headache which is caused by the blocked sinuses and constant sneezing
• Between sneezes, place vaseline over your nose to reduce irritation, and reapply after blowing your nose.
• Use eye-drops. This can be purchased from any local pharmacy, or if you can’t get there, use the following method for a salt eye-wash from my mum

Himalayan Salt Eye Wash

Disclaimer: again, i’m not a medical professional, this was just something my mum did for me when i had an eye infection when i was younger and my eyes would be irritated and itchy. take necessary caution if you choose to do this

What you need:

• ½ bottle of distilled water
• ¼ teaspoon of Himalayan salt
• 1 mixing bowl
• 1 spoon
• 1 shot glass

What to do:

1. Pour distilled water (room temperature or cold) into mixing bowl
2. Add the salt and stir until dissolved
3. Pour solution into shot glass
4. Hang your head down over the glass and press it over your closed eye, then tilt your head back so the water is contacting your closed eye
5. Open your eye either slightly (if you can’t handle much stinging) or all the way (if it doesn’t bother you), look around and blink
6. Remove the glass and repeat on other eye
