“Don’t be ashamed to weep; ‘tis right to grieve. Tears are only water, and flowers, trees, and fruit cannot grow without water” — Brian Jacques, Taggerung.

Official Witch Scout Uniform

To better unify our scouts, we have created an official clothing guide for all Witch Scouts. In order to serve our ever growing collective, we do not have specific brands for each article. Instead we encourage our scouts to complete their uniform in a way that meets their households needs. Finally, safety is our first goal and should always be put first when picking uniform items.

Head wear

All scouts will be given a witch’s hat at their troupe registration. It should be worn at day and night to avoid sunburns and moon burns.

NOTE: Coven Leaders, all hats have been previously enchanted. Students who arrive to troupe meetings without their hat should be immediately turned away. We aren’t really sure what they are yet, but we do know that they aren’t scouts.

Scouts with hair longer than shoulder length should have their hair tied back, on order to avoid the Great Potion Disaster of ‘46.

Torso

All scouts will wear long sleeve button downs in the color “gray.” You will be given a maroon scout sash at registration. Sashes should be worn over the right shoulder, under the left arm.

Legs

Scouts will wear either solid maroon or plaid maroon pants (their choice). We do hear complaints about pants in the hotter months. Those complaints disapear after students hike Thorn Mountain during the August scout retreat.

Socks should be black and crew length or longer. While we have long ago disproved the myth that, “if you can see their ankles they are a witch,” we fully support the fact that, “Potions splashed on ankles can cause terrible side effects.”

Shoes

Sturdy, closed-toed, and black. That’s all we have to say.

Sorry Dolls Kill,

As supreme coven mother of the Witch Scouts ™️ I’m going to have to tell you that this is not a scout approved uniform.

We prefer our scouts to wear sturdier clothes, better suited for adventuring than freezing.

Also, we do give out demerits to those who falsify which badges they have earned.

Thanks,

Scout Mother Oria

donnaoria:

As someone who suffers from mental health issues, I often need reassurance to help me push forward. This spell combines advice from my doctor on how to heal from past trauma or troubles, and fill yourself with love.

(side note: no spell or magick can replace a doctor. A doctor should be your very first step for any physical or non-physical healing. This spell is only an additional supplement and may not be right for everyone.) 

 Gather   

✨ Bottle

✨ White Candle (for peace)

✨ Paper & Pen

✨ Obsidian (to dispel negative energy)

✨ Citrine (for healing)

(side note: if you prefer not to use citrine because it is heat treated amethyst that is fine. Amethyst can be substituted in for it’s calming abilities)

✨ Salt (for protection)

✨ Basil (for love and protection)

✨ Parsley (for Love and Protection)

✨ Rosemary (for healing)

✨ Thyme (for healing)

✨ Turmeric (for purification)

 Process 

✨Begin by grabbing your pen, paper, and obsidian. Hold the obsidian in your hand as you think of a phrase of protection. Mine was, “I am safe, there is no pain here.”

✨With the obsidian in your hand write the phrase on the paper. Let the energy from your obsidian dispel any negative thought. When your finished roll it into a size that will fit into your bottle.

✨Prepare your other ingredients. Let each herb touch the citrine. Let them absorb citrine’s healing power.

✨Layer in your salt, basil, parsley, rosemary, thyme, and turmeric into the bottle. Somewhere halfway through place your rolled note into the bottle and let it be covered.

✨Close your bottle and light a white candle. Gently wave your bottle of the smoke for purification, then use the melted wax to seal your bottle.

 Moving Forward 

Keep the finished spell bottle somewhere you can easily and quickly find it. On it’s own in will fill whatever room or space it’s placed in with positive energy.

Whenever you feel extra anxious or upset grab the bottle and hold it in your hands. Repeat the phrase written inside the bottle, while breathing deeply. Let the phrase and the love from the bottle lift you up.

Repeat as often as needed.

This is beautiful, and so badly needed!
