Me too. Which one? Take some educated guesses (All three. I’m all three. Don’t judge me-)
What to do with Moon Water when You Simply Can’t:
Brew coffee/tea
Make ice cubes out of it
Wash your hands/hair/face
Water your plants
Keep a pitcher of it and drink a cup every morning
Make moon water from sparkling water and infuse it with fruits that help you focus/love yourself/energize you/etc
Use it to paint
Rinse your makeup brushes with it after washing them
Put it in your pet’s water dishes
Make a cleansing room spray
Literally just do stuff. Replace normal water with moon water. Splash it on your face, throw some into your washer, or your bath. Just d o s t u f f. Witchcraft doesn’t have to be just Spell Jar, Tarot, Full Spell Casting. Nothing is stopping you from just dousing yourself in moon water to help you get reset.
Happy splashing and blessed be <3

We are a book club/community server for people practicing and learning about witchcraft of all kinds. 16+. LGBTQ+ friendly. Equal parts silly and serious. (Maybe a bit more silly…)
We are not a formal coven (so no pressure!), just a server full of witches that love to read. As a community, we read and discuss a new book every other month as well as community events based on magical practices and reading such as:
Wreck this Grimoire
The Faery Games
challenges
Twelve Days of Tarot
monthly readathons
grimoire hangouts and more!
Beginner friendly, Liber Coven is a great place for discussing different practices with people from all over the US and even different parts of the world! We are a community that loves finding and sharing resources and getting and giving advice on everything from cleansing to spirit keeping.
Some other features of our server include:
Custom roles for everything from gender to astrological signs
Oranges and tangerines are something that I eat a lot, especially when I’m feeling more depressed and don’t want to cook. They’re full of nutrients, packed with Vitamin C, and the citrus helps me feel a little more ‘present’ if I dissociate. It’s a safe food for me.
But other than being Good Eats, oranges also have amazing spiritual values!
Orange peel can be added to money and financial spells to serious increase your gains. It amplifies the call. Adding it to front door decorations invokes good luck and a good home, while adding it to tea or food can significantly increase your luckiness for the day. It also helps you attract the person who loves you. Don’t get this confused as a love spell. This is an attraction spell, not a love spell. We don’t mess with love spells 'round these parts.
Orange flesh and seeds can be used as a divination tool, even for absolute beginners. If you have a yes/no question, focus on it while you peel and eat an orange. WHen you’re finished with your orange, siply count the seeds. If it’s odd, the answer is probably yes. If it’s even, the answer is most likely no. Never take divination as a solid yes/no, things change with time and so do asnwers.
Orange juice is energizing and helps with decision making! Drinking orange juice in the morning can help you make effecting choices in the day, and also help you increase luckiness and gracefullness (less tripping over your own feet is always good).
Note: this is not meant for people suffering from clinical sleep issues. Please consult your doctor or psychiatrist if you thin something is terribly amiss.
Sometimes sleep isn’t exactly easy. Some of us have issues getting to sleep; others have issues staying asleep, having bad dreams, or jolting awake randomly through the night. One of the little things that help me is a sleep pouch that I keep close to my bed, or in my pillow case. However, I tend to flip-flop a lot a night, so I keep mine on the edge of my bedframe.
What You’ll Need:
A small bag (think no more than 4x4 inches, like an organza trinket bag)
2 tablespoons of dried lavender: Peacefulness, restful sleep, and protection.
2 tablespoons basil: Love and protection.
2 tablespoons catnip: Protects you during sleep.
Optional: a small piece of lavender or clear quartz
Optional: A small piece of something that has good memories. It will help you have sweet dreams.
Putting it together is simple. After cleansing everything, simply pour all the herbs inside, then add in your crystals or trinkets if you decided to use any. And just like that, you have a sleep pouch! Keep it close at night to help rid bad dreams and restlessness. Hopefully it helps!
I’ve mentioned this in an earlier post about protective herbs and plants, so here I am after a few asks about it!
My self-forgiveness spell jar is easy, quick, and good to carry around as long as you’re careful. I keep mine in one of those tiny glass jars from the Dollar Tree (which are surprisingly nice!) and on a cord above my window. With the summer months (and summer sunshine) coming in, I’ll be moving it to a shadier place closer to my bed.
Ingredients
Jar and topper (cleansed)
Sea Salt: Cleansing, Purification, Grounding
Sugar(double the amount of salt): Sweetness, Love, Invoking Good Things
Dried Strawberries: Love, Good Luck, Good Relationships
Dried Apples: Love, Luck, Prosperity, Healing
Black Peppercorn: Protection, Boundaries
Cloves: Protection, Success, Love
Red and black candle to seal: Black for protection, red for self-love and warmth. Also works with a white candle.
The idea behind this jar is relatively simple. Sugar, strawberries, and apples all draw in sweetness and love. When paired with a few protective/boundary-setting herbs, and when it’s manifested correctly, those feelings are reflected back onto yourself. As a bonus, those protective herbs also help you from re-forming self-deprecating thoughts! All in all, it’s just a good, wholesome spell to help warmth come back for yourself.
I know that it may be annoying that I advertise my own wares, but I am paying off a significant medical bill and any clicks, shares, etc help the you-know-what-site’s algorithm. Please help a witch out and save my credit score, lol.
Hi! In case you don’t know anything about me: my name is Ander, I’m 22 years old, and I am disabled. I have physical disabilities, but I also have mental ones: most prominently, a dissociative disorder that causes memory loss and other issues. So when people come at me and tell me that the best cure for these things is magical, I get royally pissed. There have been so many moments when I’ve been talking with people, and they claim that I could be cured with prayer, or spells, healing rituals - you name it.
So, to celebrate my rage, here’s a list of shit y'all don’t gotta put up with others telling you.
Witchcraft won’t heal your chronic, mental, or physical illnesses. Go to the doctor, see a therapist, and get yourself right. You deserve the help.
You can’t just manifest and think all your problems are solved. WORK. Meet your craft halfway. Don’t expect a lit candle and some burning herbs to solve your debt or ace your tests.
Make someone fall in love with you. Don’t even try me on this. Not only is it just a silly, goofy notion, but it’s also a huge violation of consent. Don’t fuck with love magic unless it’s for self-love. You really want to force someone to love you? Bad.
Heal your pets. GO TO THE GODDAMN VET.
Nourish you. Eat some food, drink some water. Yes, this is seriously something that’s been said to me. Several times, actually.
Maybe it’s because I’m mad while I’m typing this, but that’s all I can think up of right now. If you have anything else to add, reblog and add it into the comments, tags, etc.
Blessed be y'all (except the people who messaged me those things. Fuck you.)
If you’ve never had a moment go wrong during a casting, ritual, or otherwise witchy moment: good, try and keep it that way.
One of the best ways to do this is to trust your gut. If you have any kind of intuition, and you feel something is off, shut it all down. Do not walk away from an unfinished spell. Dismiss the energies/entities/deities, snuff your candles, close it all down. If you feel something is wrong, then something is wrong. Don’t leave anything open, make sure it’s all sealed. Bury your instruments in salt and turn yourself away from any kind of ritual or spellwork for the next day or so.
Your practice should never, ever, make you feel like you’re at risk. Don’t ‘push through’, don’t hesitate, don’t collect $200. Just end it, close it, pack it up. Your safety in all aspect is more important than any ritual, spell, or manifestation. If you’re working with an entity that tries to convince you to work through your warning instinct, do not work with them anymore.
Your gut feelings are one of the greatest tools in your inventory. Use it wisely.
I’ve recently had the amusement to watch my best friend in the whole world break up aggressively with a crappy guy who had the audacity to cheat on a literal goddess. In celebration of an anti-wedding, here’s a post about crystals that look amazing on a wedding ring and signify good luck!
1) Aquamarine: Good Luck, Calming, Introspection, Ocean Magic
2) Garnet: Good Luck, Love, Passion, Balance
3) The classic Diamond: Good Luck, Strength, Fidelity, Loyalty
In my personal opinion, diamonds are a little overrated (and way too expensive) but there are tons of options on places like Etsy! You can still create something gorgeous with something traditional.
Just another simple, but useful list straight from my own Grimoire! This list is not the complete list, only partial (A-C), as the actual list is very long. All of these herbs/plants/spices have been used or can be used as protective aids in spells, rituals, etc. If anyone is interested, I’ll also post a personal protection spell tutorial!
Protective herbs
Acorn: Protection, Good Luck, Wisdom, Good Tidings, Power
Aloe: Protection, Soothing, Good Luck
Anise: Protection (when in incenses)
Basil: Protection, Good Luck, Love, Exorcism, Wealth, Sympathy
Bay Leaf: Protection, Good Luck, Wealth, Strength, Purification
Black Pepper: Protection from evil, Banishment, Boundaries, Safety
Cinnamon: Protection, Love, Lust, Passion, Good Luck
Clove: Protections, Financial Gain, Good Luck
Some of my favorite uses are putting them in spell jars with salt, sugar, and dried strawberries and/or apples for a self-forgiveness spell and to help protect myself from further self-anger!

To those that have been around my blog for a while, y'all know it ain’t a secret that strawberries are one of my favorite things, ever. To eat, to use in spellwork, to draw - strawberries are a delightful joy from mother nature and far too many of us take them for granted. To combat that, I came up with a pancake recipe guaranteed to delight - and to carry that delight all morning.
Strawberry Sweet Day Pancake Spell Ingredients: (For 6 pancakes)
In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, oats, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
In a large bowl, blend together buttermilk, eggs, and butter/oil.
Mix together until just combined. There may be a few small lumps, but that’s fine. Let it sit for a few minutes (5-10) to let it hydrate.
While it rests, heat a non-stick skillet or pan on your stove on medium-high heat.
Carefully stir in your berries, then dollop ¼ cup of batter onto the pan. Once the edges are set and the bubbles aren’t filling in, carefully flip.
The first two pancakes are the Sacrificial Pancakes. If too dark, turn the heat down to medium and try again. Chef Snacks.
Top with preferred topping and ignore the dishes until your roommate asks for a pancake. Then they are obligated to was the dishes. Thems the rules.
Strawberries are great for a variety of things. They invoke sweetness into your life, and can help encourage you to take better care of yourself and those around you. Inspiration is also something strawberries can invite. Plus, they’re basically just dollops of manna from heaven. You may quote me on that.
