there are still poems, left undone in the book that we didn’t close right. one of us has to keep writing them - one of us has to keep the words bleeding.
- unaiza n, why couldn’t you be the one to keep us breathing?
What are some simple things that you do that you think would help another witch?
My list of daily or easy practices requires little to no prep-work
•Use a protection plant ally like a witch’s burr, cloves, thorns, motherwort, black pepper, garlic, or onion. Close your eyes and place your plant ally in your hands. Ask the spirit of the plant if they will offer you protection to see you through the day. Carry it with you.
•Alternatively, you can also use crystals. My go to combo is black tourmaline and red jasper!
•Use a protection archetype tarot card like the Nine of Wands. Nine of Wands, for myself, symbolizes boundaries and protection when it comes to our growth/life path. Place it on your altar with intention since it is a portal to our intentions, our guides, and the liminal, or carry on your person.
•Smoke cleanse the thresholds in your home, yourself, and your loved ones. I personally like rosemary and lavender for this purpose.
•As you leave an offering for your guides/ancestors/deities during your daily conversation with them ask them for their help when it comes to protection.
•Write the word protection or a symbol of protection on a black candle with intention and light.

You can either make this during the full moon and leave it out to catch some of the full moon rays or use the full moon water you have in your fridge on a Friday!

Add each ingredient with intention as you add it to your vessel. Envisioning or thinking about your inner beauty shining through to the surface.
Feel free to strain with a cheesecloth after 24-48 hours.
Add a little to shampoos, conditioners, body lotion, etc, and apply directly.
If you like to full moon bathe, apply some the next full moon bathe ritual to further enhance its properties and longevity when applied!
As always, this is how I personally do things, which may be different for you and that is a-okay! Everyone’s practice can and should be different!
Everything has felt so impossibly loud this week and it has taken its toll.
I’m taking note from the sky, from the rain falling in gentle streams, and just releasing today.
Today I’m taking a step back from the pull to go-go-go, letting myself enjoy intuitive body movements/stretches when called to, digging into a book that’s been sitting in my kindle, and relishing the gentle rhythm of the rain outside.
It is so easy to look up correspondences now in days and find keywords given from others, but where do they even come from? Do you find yourself using correspondences that you hardly understand or you just add spellwork ingredients willy nilly despite them not resonating with you in the slightest?
In order to connect with the materials you are using, I recommend looking them up before spellwork. Not just their keywords. It will help you understand the herb and connect with its unique spirit on a personal level.
Correspondences come from a few different things •How they grow •Historial aspects, magickally or otherwise •How they involve your senses (taste, touch, smell, sound, and looks) •How they have been used for healing, health, poison, etc •Their color •Most importantly, your experiences with the plant
What is your favorite flower to do spellwork with?
Spring is right around the corner so all sorts of flowers will be blooming soon, which means it will be a terrific time to add some floral inspiration to your spellwork! I thought I’d share a *few* of my favorite spellwork flowers and *some* of their magickal correspondences.
before u ask, i know that many people might think it is the most boring thing in the world, but if someone asked me to go out into nature with them and identify trees and shrubs, i’d be like heck yeah, hold my tree guide bestie
