So freaking proud of all the witchy stuff I found! I found some old candle holders, jars, bottles, candles, an incense holder, and pretty spoon for my herbs and teas. Not to mention I found a bowl for Ostare/Easter offerings!
“The method of ‘whispering’ the incantation or charm is reminiscent fo the practices we find in Russian folk magic. The whispering technique also has the advantage of accessing the charm in a more concrete and physical manner, where the breath uttering the spell can be blown in a specific direction. For example, the breath is commonly blown into a glass of water or alcohol, which is then drunk by the client or applied onto an object. The magical force is thus transferred from the mind and mouth of the magician into a specific target which is imbued with its healing or harming power.”

What better time to finish my project than when I’m staying home with my cats? Going to glue a cross hanging down in the middle of this and maybe add some pendants.
I got this box at a used shop yesterday to hold my crystals and items I use for my craft and I’m so happy with how it all looks together! It feels right and I definitely feel better about this container versus my old one.
Many people made comments similar to this: “cute, but pls remember that if you aren’t native american, you shouldn’t be calling smoke cleanses smudging! also, you shouldn’t be using white sage because it’s going extinct and native peoples need white sage in order to use it for their ceremonies !! witchcraft is a beautiful thing but we need to be respectful of other cultures whilst practicing it ”which makes me very sad, because as my first language is not English, for me it does not have a different meaning, so I did not realize that with this post I was disrespecting the native communities, I’m really sorry. Also, because of my allergies, I don’t usually burn anything, but if you do, please do your research so as not to damage ecosystems. ♥️
Figured I’d get a head start on this since I’m taking tonight’s full moon as an opportunity to clean/cleanse my apartment, have a little wine, and update my calendar with witchy events through the end of next year. :>
As always when I make these kinds of posts, if the peak of the full or new moon is in the wee hours of the morning on one day, I enter it into my calendar as the day before, since that is the night I will be celebrating even though it technically falls on the next day.
