Witchy reminder: It’s ok to have more than one book of shadows :)
♡ That naked witch in the woods
If you fill up one book, where are you going to put the rest of your ever increasing amount of spells, rituals, information, and all that jazz? In your second book of shadows of course! Or third, or fourth…
No matter which book you’re on, never stop learning about the craft!

made a long distance candle for my friend who is Goin Thru It but I can’t get it to her in time.
Ultra Discount Version:
- white candle
- carve algiz rune (and friend’s name if you have space)
- spread ground cinnamon around into the crevices)
- this is the only fancy part: a few drops of orange essential oil and lavender essential oil
If you’ve got lots of tools: use a yellow or pink candle instead, and add sage, mint, and calendula to the herbs you dress the candle with. I used a tea light because that’s what I had on hand and I was impatient
