inertia creeps

like capricorn moon water is probably fine for baneful workings but it's debilitated there. why would you want charged water during a period where the moon is at its least operational and in its most uncomfortable, unfortunate position?

the first of any month is typically regarded as a good time to refresh, renew, and attract abundance and luck so here are some ideas on how to do so!

say "rabbit rabbit!" for good luck all month long

set intentions and goals for the new month

perform a divination reading to forecast the month ahead

light a scented candle or incense to set the tone for the rest of the month

renew your wards

craft a money bowl or renew the one you already have

blow a pinch of cinnamon inside for good luck and abundance (avoid this if you have animals in the house or live with someone who has respiratory issues)

place a cinnamon stick above your front door and replace monthly instead of doing the above

cleanse your space

clean/cleanse your altar, tools, and crystals

write or draw symbols of abundance on a bay leaf and keep it in your wallet - burn it at the end of the month before you make a new one

open your windows to air out stale, stagnant energy

sweep your floors out the front door

blow a handful of salt out of your front door to release the things that no longer serve you

mop your floors with a cleansing floor wash; use this wash to clean doors and doorframes (obvs not using dirty mop water but an entirely fresh batch of the wash lol)

sprinkle salt on your doorstep and windowsills for protection after cleaning and sweeping

take a ritual bath or shower with the goal of cleansing yourself of negative vibes and inviting positive vibes in its place

if it applies, don't forget to: drink some water, gas up your vehicle, pay your bills, fill your prescriptions, take care of your physical and mental health, and stay golden

As summer is approaching, I thought I'd post about my witchcraft practice at the beach...

🐚 Use the sea water to cleanse your body and soul. Breathe in deeply, dive in, and spend a few seconds underwater to recite in your head "I'm getting rid of anything that isn't serving me, and release it all to the ocean".

🐚 Draw sigils onto the sand. It's a simple one, but can be quite powerful, especially if you keep on drawing it repeatedly as you sunbathe.

🐚 Whisper a protection spell as you apply suncream. This isn't just about protecting yourself from UV light. This simple act of self-care can ward off much more than that.

🐚 Collect shells for your altar. I think this one is my favourite. I'm always on the lookout for small items with strong significance to decorate my altar. Shells are the perfect items to have in preparation for Midsummer.

🐚 Sand has a strong association to time. Use it for any spells that require you to slow down and be in the present. Depending on where you are, the sand between your hands may be a thousand years old!

🐚 Meditate at sunrise, facing towards the ocean. Repeat wishes and manifestations while breathing in the salt air. If you ask something of the waves, you might just get it.

tldr; crystals that come from space

black diamond - commonly found in brazil and africa; formed fromsupernovae explosions and then carried to earth via meteorite

great sand sea glass - a impactite (formed from meteoric impact) found in the eastern sahara desert and spread throughout eastern libya and western egypt

diamond - one of the largest diamond fields resides in the popigai crater in russia; formed by meteoric impact with graphite on earth’s surface; it is theorized that diamonds rain on jupiter, saturn, uranus, and neptune

meteorite - self explanatory

moldavite - tektite formed by meteoric impact from particles that were projected into the air, cooled, and hardened; occurred ~ 15 million years ago

moissanite - discovered in a meteor crater in canyon diablo, arizona in 1893; thought to originate from AGB stars outside of our solar system

opal - found in meteorites originating from mars; further suggests presence of water on mars

peridot (olivine) - found on earth and in space; extraterrestrial peridot is mostly found in pallasite meteorites, namely the esquel meteorite that was discovered in 1951

tektite - extraterrestrial glass; forms due to the extreme heat and force of meteoric impact which melts both the meteorite and the earth around it to form natural glass once cooled

A charm designed to help prevent nightmares and promote restful sleep. 

revision of an old post, circa 2017

Ingredients: 

Small corked jar

String

Eyepin for jewelry making (if you got it!)

Sea salt - charging

Lemon Verbena - dreamless sleep, prevents nightmares

Rosemary - prevents nightmares, protection during sleep

Lavender - restful sleep

Black Tourmaline - induces sleep, prevents nightmares

Rose Essential Oil - relaxation and peace

Instructions: 

Add each ingredient to the jar - the salt and herbs first, then the rose oil and black tourmaline

Seal however you see fit - I typically just glue the lid on, tbh

Add the eyepin to the cork lid and thread your string; if you don't have one, wrap the string around the neck of the jar a few times - tie in a knot

Meditate on your intent while holding the jar - if you can, visualize a calming light surrounding it, imbuing it with peaceful and protective energy

Set the jar in the starlight to charge overnight - remove before sunrise

When charged, hang the jar above your bed
