For this Strawberry Full Moon on June, you can still make great spells during these weekend.  Spells about friendship are ideal! (it can also be about breaking them, or making new ones) but this one here is about blessing a friendship.  It´s important to make it in the nights close to the time of the full moon, wether its before or after, when the  moon is at its brightest and use only candles as source of light.

You will need Dill Powder, 5 things that you both like (it can be between a large group of friends too), and rope or a thread.

First make a circle with the rope and start placing the things around it (not inside) , then spread the dill powder all over them. Once its done, each of the involved have to say why the friendship is important to them.

In the end , both say how long you wish your friendship to last and blow the candles out.

Aries Witch

Our next witch is here!*✰

The ones born between the March 21 and the April 19 are under the sign of Aries. The first sign of the zodiac which makes them natural leaders. Aries belong to the Fire element  and they can be calm and bewitching at times but explosive and confrontational in seconds . They value their loved ones above anything. In the witchy aspect, they are amazing spell crafters and their impulsive actions may lead them to be also very creative in making curses and hexes. Careful with that witchy Aries.

Aries witches are very loyal to their coven and are always the first ones in the group to want to try new stuff ◞*✰

Any Aries here?

Curses and Hexes

Witchy tip: When making curses, surround yourself with plants or carry with you some, even if it´s a tiny one.

This will protect you from bad energy that could get attached.  Remember that casting curses and hexes could harm you too, so this way you make sure the elements of earth protect you ☆

My main goal when sharing the knowledge I’ve picked up over the years is to show other witches easy and simple ways to incorporate their practice into everyday life. In a world where young witches hide who they are and old witches have been caught up in the day to day struggles of a modern life, I want to inspire them to keep following the path in their hearts. So with that in mind here is my list of easy ways to celebrate the spookiest sabbat of the year!

1. Decorate your altar
  • remember it doesnt have to be large and extravagant. Especially if you are a witch with a low budget or a closet witch. A small shelf, a window sill, a hidden area of your bedroom closet, or the base of a tree in your yard or a local nearby park are all acceptable places to set up your altar.
  • you do not have to purchase decorations nor do you have to have a million candles, crystals, or decorative skulls. Witchcraft is a nature based practice, meaning you can feel free to decorate with items you find outside such as: dead leaves, acorns, corn stalks, squash, pretty rocks, ect.
  • all altars are beautiful, don’t get caught up scrolling through tumblr posts of “altar aesthetics” Big, elaborate, and beautiful altars are great, but that doesnt make a small and simple altar any less great.
2. Honor your loved ones who have passed on
  • Samhain is similar to the mexican “Day of the Dead” in the fact that we honor the spirits in the otherworld and remember our ancestry and heritage.
  • ways to honor your ancestors include burning a candle, taking a moment of silence, exchanging favorite stories from the deseased life with loved ones, or any other ways you personally show respect for the dead
3. Bake some Soul Cakes
  • these cookie/biscuit like cakes are really simple and easy to make and can be left as offerings at you altar, at the base of a tree, or at loved ones graves.
  • the simplest recipe I found only needs: 1 stick of butter, 1 ½ cup sugar, 1 ½ cup flour, and 1 egg. First mix the butter and sugar thoroughly and then mix in the flour and egg. Then you use the dough to make little cookies, put them on your baking pan, and cook them for 10-15 minutes at 350°
  • if you want to add more to your soul cakes you can also add: cinnamon, nutmeg, pumpkin spice, and/or malt vinegar.
4. Prepare yourself for a new year!
  • Along with honoring the spirits of those who have passed before us, Samhain also marks the end of the seasons filled with life and growth. It is the beginning of a season that is dark and dead, but to witches that doesn’t mean anything negative! Its is our new year, and it begins quietly, peacefully, and from a truely blank slate.
  • Now is a good time to cleanse yourself and your tools. So you can begin your year as unburdened and refreshed as possible.
  • take some time to also reflect upon yourself. Congratulate yourself on all the amazing things you have accomplished and forgive your inevitable mistakes. Make peace with your year and open your heart and soul to the future.
I hope I was able to give some other witches out there helpful ideas for this Samhain. As always feel free to add more information and ideas I may have missed. Have a blessed day!

May you all have a blessed and peaceful Samhain! And enjoy your witchy new year!

Earthing- The act of going outdoors barefoot and absorbing the earth’s energy through the soles of your feet. Sometimes we don’t need crystals, herbs, incense, or oils to cleanse and replenish our aura. Next time you are feeling out of balance try simply taking yourself outside and wiggling your naked toes in the dirt or grass. Feel the circle of life around you, connect with mother nature and she will reward your effort with healing and peace.

With the combination of the solar eclipse (March 8th/9th 2016) and the new moon in Pisces (March 8th) now is the time to turn the page and start a new chapter. This is a time for new beginnings, the eclipse is your reset button and the new moon is your fresh canvas.

Try cleansing your aura in a bath once a week. Through out our busy lives we can’t help but pick up bits of negative energy, and unless you take the time to sever those ties you can become weighed down by it. Baths are a great way to cleanse you aura since you don’t need a lot of extra supplies, water is a natural spiritual cleanser.

Start by running your favorite relaxing bathwater. This could mean adding bubble bath, bath bombs, flowers, herbs, or essential oils, whatever makes you feel the most grounded and relaxed.
Helpful Essential Oils:
Lavender- promotes peace and relaxation
Myrrh- protection from evil
Rosemary- promotes healing
Vanilla- promote happiness
Cedar- protection from misery and misfortune

Next light some candles. (Not necessary, but I always find them comforting myself)
Helpful Candle Colors:
Black- neutralize negative energy
Light Blue- promote peace and tranquility
White- protection
Dark Green- counteract feelings of jealousy in yourself and from others

Now this last step is really the most important. You are relaxing in your bath. Starting at your toes and working your way up muscle by muscle consciously relax each and every part of your body. Let your mind drift. Close your eyes. Let a white light fill your mind. Let the white light fill your body. Hold it there. This is your inner fire, purging any traces of negative energy that is piggy backing on your aura. Then slowly let it fade. Settle into yourself. Take a few controlled deep breathes. When you are ready sit up, and drain your water. It is very important to begin draining the water before you step out of the tub in order to release all the gunk you just washed away. Then pat yourself dry, slap on your favorite lotion and head back out into the world feeling light and refreshed.

Here is a great online tool for keeping track of your chakra alignment. My biggest piece of advice is to try and look at yourself objectively when you answer the questions and don’t overthink your answers. Listen to your inner voice.

Practice Mindfulness.

https://www.psychologytoday.com/basics/mindfulness
(Helpful and quick article for those unfamiliar with mindfulness)


Mindfulness is the foundation of all spiritual growth. We communicate with the universe with our inner voice, not our outer one. If you are trying to work magic with a mind twisted by jealousy, negative self talk, doubt, or is living with regret for the past or anxiety for the future, then your magic will also turn out twisted and malignant, even if that was not necessarily your intention.

I would just like to say that y’all have some cool ass rituals to meet with your spirit guides and i just go up my funky imaginary stairs.
