moonfire-dahlia:

Due to popular demand, I’ve decided to make a post on the uses of moon water! 

1. Add a drop to lunar spell jars based on intent
   
2. Add to a bath for cleansing and relaxation
   
3. Rinse and cleanse your hair with it in the shower
4. Purify and use in consumable potions for enhanced psychic abilities, relaxation, protection, or dreamwork
   
5. Make a cleansing spray and use in your home
   
6. Sprinkle a few drops around the perimeter of your home or bedroom
7. Use to anoint and cleanse objects such as magickal tools or crystals
8. Use to anoint yourself before spellwork or divination, or simply to promote peace and relaxation
9. Use to charge objects with lunar energy
10. Water your plants with it
11. Add it to your water cup when painting to promote imaginative thinking 
12. Add a few drops to the washer before washing bedsheets to promote dreaming
13. Use as a representation of either water, the moon, or both on your altar
14. Combine with corresponding crystals or herbs for an added boost of energy
15. Fill a hollow pendant with it and wear it to represent the moon, a particular lunar phase, or one of its associated correspondences (protection, relaxation, enhanced psychic abilities, etc.)
16. Anoint a charm with moon water and carry it with you for protection, safe travels, or improved memory 

Tips & a few words of caution:

• Always purify and filter your moon water before consuming
• If you plan to add crystals to your moon water, use tumbled stones so they won’t break down in the water (especially if you plan to drink it)
• If you do plan to consume your moon water, store it in the fridge to extend it’s shelf life
  
• Don’t water your plants with cold moon water; make sure it’s lukewarm or at room temperature first
• If you’re unsure on what kind of intentions correspond to lunar energy, check out the links below 

These are just some ideas on how to use moon water, but feel free to get creative! 

• Moon Correspondences
  
• Lunar Phase Correspondences
  

1.Make a chart for the moon phases. 

2. If you do tarot readings, you can write down what cards you drew and how accurate they are. 

3. Write down Crystal, Color, Planetary, and Herb correspondences. 

4. If you worship deities, you could write about them. 

5. Write down spells you’ve tried and how they worked. 

6.Write about the Sabbats or other holidays you celebrate. 

7.You can personalize it by decorating the inside/outside with symbols, different colors, or doodles. 

8.Draw symbols/sigils and their meanings.

9. Make your own sigils. 

10.Record how you celebrate the Sabbats or other holidays. 

11. If you practice kitchen witchery, you can write down recipes.  

Witchy Gardening

It’s that time of year again for me in the States. This year, however, is the first year I’ll ever have the reigns and keys to building my own garden from scratch. And while I have a few things planted already and some herbs growing or starting, I want to know what every one else is doing in theirs!

What kind of flowers do you have? What kind of herbs do you have? Do you grow any veggies? Do you have a special space outside for rituals or spell work, worked into your garden? What kind of decor do you have?

I’ll be building a Witchy Garden 101 post soon!

∆Quick and easy tea for Self Love∆

• Chamomile tea
• Maple Syrup
• Vanilla
• Cinnamon

Steep your tea and enchant the cup and tea itself. Slowly add the maple syrup to sweeten your thoughts towards yourself. Add the vanilla to soothe you and bring happiness. Lastly add in the cinnamon to draw positivity and encouragement to yourself. Then drink and focus on all the ingredients and what they are bringing to you and how they are helping you.

Stay safe and many blessings

∆Energy Breathing Meditation∆

This meditation is meant to help beginners who struggle to focus during meditation, assist those who wish to learn how to manipulate energy as well retrain those who may just need a refresher.

Start by getting into a comfortable position either sitting up with your back straight or lying down, whichever is easiest for you. Calm yourself, relax and softly slip into a meditative state, train your focus to your physical body, become aware of how relaxed and almost numb you become, then lift your focus right above your skin, feel and visualize your personal energetic field above you and all around you. Take in it’s shape, color, texture and the way it moves around and within you. Is it right above your skin? Or is there space between your physical self and your energy? How much?

Take a moment to answer all these questions and take note of them, becoming intune with your personal energy is of high importance for this exercise.

Once you are comfortable and aware of your energetic field, begin to become fully aware of your breathing, breathe softly but deeply, note it’s rhythm, the rise and fall of your chest, and link your energy to your breath. As you breathe in, visualize, feel and allow your energy to expand and swirl larger around you, and as you breathe out, shrink your energy back to you. Keep this up for as long as you can hold, or until it feels like second nature.

This may take a few tries if you’re new to energy work or tend to have very unruly energy. And this is okay. Good luck, and stay safe!!! Many blessings to you!!

∆Witchy Reminder∆

Don’t listen to the masses, or the loud individuals on the Internet. Your craft is yours and how you experience it is correct for you.

Energy work and meditation with anxiety and attention or focus issues can thoroughly be frustrating. I personally have suffered from the same struggles, however the one type of meditation/energy work that I found easiest to keep my focus is what I’d consider ‘interactive meditations’. My personal favorite being the energy breathing technique.

This technique is learning to focus on your energy and breath and expanding your energy as you breathe in and shrink ingyour energy as you breathe out.

You can come up with your own or find others that incorporate your continued focus and practice with those. Remember that starting slow and with short goals is always important. Set a timer for one to three minutes at first and get confident in that, then continue to slowly add more time to your goal.

*Side note* Don’t be hard on yourself when you lose focus, just breathe and reground yourself and refocus, even taking a break and going to drink some water can help too! Just be kind to yourself. <3

∆Witchy Reminder∆

Depending on what you personally believe in, no life is truly lost. You can always send love, energy, helpful spirits and protection to lives that have passed on, as well as give newly lost life’s the strength they need and a lovely road for them to continue on their journey.

∆Healing and embracing your path Ritual∆

What you will need:

• Black candle (that can stand alone)
• Bowl of moon charged water
• Mortar and pestle
• Parchment/papertowel
• Sage
• Dragons blood incense
• Lotus incense
• Ginger oil
• Angelica
• Cinnamon
• Mugwort
• Myrrh
• Frankincense

Start by bathing in the sage as you ground yourself. Snuff the sage and burn just enough of the dragons blood in order to inhale the smoke for protection then snuff it as well. Now hold your black candle in both hands and meditate with it, enchant it with the intent of it not only protecting you throughout your ritual but banishing and absorbing any and all negativity in order to make room for the healing. Now light it and set it down infront of you. Grab the mortar and pestle and one by one add the healing herbs in. As you do so say these words “Angelica, to heal the head.” And place a bit in. “Mugwort to heal the heart.” And place it in. “Cinnamon to heal the body.” And place that in. Lastly “And Myrhh to heal the Spirit.”

Grind this mixture up and repeat these words two more times each as you do. Then take a pinch and sprinkle it on top of your head, and another pinch and sprinkle it in the black candles flame. Now mediate on these healing intentions and energies for a few minutes.

Now burn the lotus incense just enough to breathe in it’s smoke, focusing on it opening your mind, body and spirit to the energies you have gathered and to the intent of what will come next. Empty the contents of the mortar onto your chosen papertowel or parchment and add the frankincense to it. Grind it up and add it to the bowl of moon water. “Frankincense to strengthen my spiritual abilities.” And three drops of ginger oil into the bowl. “Ginger to bring power and confidence along my path.” Stir the bowl, meditating on these properties and visualize yourself confidently walking your personal path, happy and strong, as you wash your hands in it.

Close by thanking the universe, yourself, your guides and deities that help you everyday, then blow out the candle.

(This is just a ritual that I wrote up for personal reasons, but I’m posting it here in hopes that it’ll help someone!! Stay safe and many blessings!!Note: doing this on the full moon will be helpful as well!!!)

∆Witchy Reminder∆

A healthy dose of self criticism is perfectly fine within your craft, however remember not to wholly disregard everything always as you’ll lose confidence in yourself and much information that was otherwise important.

∆Witchy reminder∆

If you’re feeling disconnected with your witchcraft tools, try cleansing them and doing a small spell or ritual to reconnect your energetic ties with them.

I’m writing a spiritual growth and healing ritual for personal reasons, but would anyone like me to post it here for you and anyone else that’d possibly get help from it?

Don’t forget to keep going. New witches and old, there shall always be obstacles, blocks and healings that are needed, but these times will pass, and only make you stronger.

∆Witchy Reminder∆

Next time you find yourself singing with emotion, try channeling your feelings and energy into a spell or a protection bubble or shield and see how it feels.

Although I do have a grimoire, I use a journal to track my day-to-day practices that I do not usually include in my grimoire. A witch’s journal is a great place to record your feelings and discover any repeating symbols that you may not have noticed if you hadn’t written them down.  It is a great way to look through and see how much your craft has grown.

Things you could include: 

• Dreams and visions with any interpretations you have
• Day-to-day magickal practice 
• Symbols that may seem important
• Astral protection experiences
• Meditation  journeys
•  A list of books you read and any important magickal teachings you learned from them
• Progress of any castings or “spell tracking”
• Magick Workings
• Events and decisions in your life that affect your magickal workings
• Magickal goals and plans
• Maintenance and home cleaning/cleansing
• Daily rituals or habits 
• Astrological events and any symbols or visions you may have received that are connect to the event

Things to include in each entry:

• The moon phases
  
• Weather
• Date
• Emotion
• Position of the moon in the zodiac
• Season
• Time

Another short post but I hope it may inspire some people.

May the moon light your path
