I’m thinking of drafting up a master post with some FAQ on spellcraft.
I get a lot of messages and asks everyday which I LOVE but sometimes it’s hard to keep up and repeat the same answer, so I wanted to create a place that maybe could host those FAQ to help make those answers more accessible constantly insted of just when I answer my inbox (which I’ll admit I’ve been having some difficulty finding a balance of blogging and figuring things out in terms of moving and finding a new day job irl) so I wanted to make these questions less daunting by having a master post where certain questions are hyperlinked to asks I’ve already answered!
This doesn’t mean I won’t be answering asks or my inbox I still 100% will be making my way through them I just wanted to offer something in the meantime while I’m finding this balance.
I guess what I’m asking is would this be something you all, as my followers (and even if you’re seeing this and aren’t following me please let me know what you think too!) would enjoy having access to! thank you so much for all of your support along this journey I’m so grateful for everyone of you
I’m very happy to announce that anon asks are now being accepted again! this have come after much thought and contemplation and I’ve taken what I believe the necessary steps to sure we don’t run into the issue we were having before
With that being said, feel free to send me some asks! I’ve got a few inbox’s and asks to get back to and I’ve been making my way through those so please remain patient while I do so I am just one person after all this is a really great tool for this page and allows people to really be able to comfortably communicate or ask questions if they maybe aren’t already so I’m super excited to have it back on this blog! Thank you all for your amazing support it truly means the world!
Hey there everyone! I know I’ve got some messages and asks to get back to, and that I haven’t been posting as much lately. I did get the anon stuff sorted out but lately I’ve been having to deal with some family issues and moving in with my current bf, so life has been all over the place.
I promise I have not forgotten about this community. I’m just trying to go slow at the moment and put the energy I have into the things that require my immediate attention. I hope you all understand! I’m sure you will I just wanted to give you all an update.
Got a question? Need someone to ask? My inbox is open for the first 30 asks tonight!
I specialize in herb magic, spell creation and how it works, fae witchcraft, The Fae, practical spellcraft, and explaining things in a less overwhelming, more friendly way!
And don’t worry about asking a “dumb” question I believe the only dumb question is the one you don’t ask.
Ostara is the sabbat of new beginnings and life. Fertility magic (especially through the use of eggs and garden and seed blessings are commonly performed during this time)
Use this Sabbat to perform magic to break away barriers, start new projects or inventions, and breathe new life into your home and garden. This is also a great time to celebrate balance as day and night are equal on this day. Color eggs to attract different things such as love, fertility, wealth, and prosperity. Then plant them in the garden to slow these things to grow into your life.

Heavily inspired by @teacupsandcauldrons for my lunar phases page in my Grimoire. I love just being able to flip to a page instead of looking it up online ❤️
My grimoire pages on the lunar phases. Left page are the phases labeled in english with their correspondents and a note on moon water at the bottom. The right page is the lunar cycle illustrated with its Latin names because I’m such a geek for Latin.
Image Description:
Left page:
New Moon - Rebirth, Cleansing, Creation, Resting (with plant and paint brush symbol notation)
Waxing Crescent - New Energy, Details, Intentions, Healing, Manifestation, Strength, Creativity (with plant and sun notations beside it)
First Quarter - Momentum, Decisions, Action, Bonding, Attraction (with sun notation)
At the bottom of the page is a drawing of a jar of moon water labeled “jar of clean water in full moon light on a clear night - Moon Water - LUNAE AQUA”
Right Page: A circular image of the lunar phases headed:
CIRCULUS LUNAE, labeled counter-clockwise:
PHASES LUNAE ACCRESCENTIS (Waxing Phases),
PLENILUNIUM: SOLI OPPOSITA (Full Moon),
PHASES LUNAE DECRESCENTIS (Wanign Phases),
LUNA IN ORBEM INSINUATA: IN ASPECTU TRINO VEL TRIGONO (Gibbous Moon),
LUNA DIMIDIATA: IN ASPECTU QUADRATO (Third Quarter or First Quarter),
Here is my grimoire page on dill. More extensive information on dill in another post. I’m really proud of this page, especially because dill is my favorite culinary herb.
Medicinal and Culinary Uses: Soothing to the stomach, helps with digestion. An antimicrobial. Calms the mind and sharpens the senses. Is considered to help with the mind in general. Used to ease the symptoms of colic. Dill, being a very aromatic plant and delicious herb, is of course used as seasoning and for flavor in many dishes, especially in fish and pickling. Dill is also said to repel pests when planted in the garden.
Symbology:protection, preservation, good spirits, security, courage, calming, dispel bad dreams, good luck, emotional balance, love, romantic attraction
Lore and History: Ancient Egyptians used dill as an aphrodisiac and to ward off evil spirits. The Greeks saw it as a symbol of wealth and prosperity and would also sometimes cover their heads with dill to induce sleep. It soon became widely regarded as a symbol of good luck. In Europe, during the Middle Ages, bundles of dill were hung over doorways or beds to protect the home and deter curses. It is widely considered to be able to counteract spells and curses.
How It Is Used: The leaves can be made into a tea that is drunk (this was said to cause sexual arousal by the Egyptians and to ease children’s stomach pains by the Greeks and British). The leaves and stem can be chopped and added to any dish fresh or dried. It can be ground into a paste. The seeds can be eaten (and were previously chewed to stay awake in boring meetings but also to induce sleep in children). Chewing on the seeds is also said to improve one’s breath. The blossoms of dill can be used in the same ways as the leaves and stem.
I’ve been meaning to make some kind of portable altar for a while, figuring I’d just put together some kind of tiny kit for travel or something. Then I was like HEY WAIT, I COULD JUST DRAW ONE IN MY GRIMOIRE, and voila :D
Hey guys, I know that I do this, like, every other week, but this weeks prompts will be a day behind, so the prompts this week will run from Tuesday to Saturday.
You’ll get the same amount of prompts, I promise. They’ll just be a day later than normal. This is because my A/C went out, and I really can’t think when I’m this hot. The HVAC tech is coming out on Monday, so that’s why it’ll be starting up again on Tuesday.
