Whatever you call it, have a great weekend and here's to new beginnings and the start of Spring

Hello my little sprigs! I just made a short “masterpost” of water types. I know there are a lot of these floating around, but I had to do this because I remember things better when I write them down tbh so why shouldn´t I post it.This is out of my grimoire, I added some personal references.

waters you have to “make”: moon water ritual cleansing, spell work, dream work, astral travel - but moon water can be used for almost everything

waters you can gather: sea/ocean water healing, psychich work, the ability to adapt changes, manifestation of goals, strenght, glamours

river water changes, moving forward, warding, releasing emotions and feelings

lake water (inner) peace, relaxation, reflection of thoughts and/or emotions

rain water light rain: (gentle) energy, protection, growth, finding truth heavy rain: energy, destruction, curses as well as cleansing

storm water force, motivation, relaxation, spells regarding anger and releasing (unwanted) feelings

swamp water banishing and binding, cursing, protection (to attract negativity and redirecting it from you)

waterfall water power, energy, success, moving forward, bravery

ice water transformation, balance, creativity

Make a special altar dedicated to self love.

What You’ll Need:

A small to medium-sized mirror

Rose quartz, clear quartz, amethyst, orange calcite, citrine, carnelian or any crystal you feel drawn to

A piece of paper or a bit of modeling clay

Glitter, Tissue paper, markers, colored pencils and other art supplies

Directions:

Put on some music, light a candle and pour yourself a glass of something yummy to put yourself in a good mood while you create your self love altar.

Lay a mirror flat on a tabletop. Arrange your assortment of crystals in any kind of design that you find pleasing. Don’t worry about looking up meanings or crystal grid diagrams. Just go by pure intuition.

Create a piece of art the represents your favorite attributes about yourself. Draw yourself (abstract or realistic) on a piece of paper or use your clay to sculpt something that highlights your unique awesomeness. Have fun with this and use whatever supplies you have in your house.

Put your artwork in the center or your altar to celebrate the amazing person you are! Think a positive thought whenever you happen to glance at the altar, and take time every day to honor yourself in some way at your special altar.

Blessed Be,

Supplies

Fireproof dish

Clear Quartz

Rhodonite crystal

Pink Salt

Lavender buds and essential oil

Tea light (can be infused with lavender)

Pink thread

Directions

Place the rhodonite crystal in the dish and cover with the pink salt

Pile lavender buds in the middle of the salt and burn to ash. Mix the ash into the salt clockwise, breathing in the aroma.

Place tea light in the middle of the dish and form a grid.

Recite:

“From the salt, I call upon the earth/From the moon, I call upon the water/From this candle, I call upon the fire/From the smoke, I call upon the air.”

Light the candle

Recite:

With the elements, I bind to myself: _______”

As you tie each knot, name an emotional change you want to make in yourself

Place the string around the candle in the salt and mediate on your intent. 

When finished tie the string around your wrist or ankle and dispose of the salt as you see fit. 

Considerations

Time your work with the phases of the moons. Because this is binding magic, aim for a waxing or full moon.

Some tips for the broom closet witches out there, keep putting magic in everything you do ✩*ೃ.⋆

My witch of a grandmother gave me her beautiful encyclopedia on healing plants to celebrate Ostara! I told her about my blog and she asked me to share some of her advice “for those lovely internet disciples of yours”. No, Yeyé, that’s not how this works…

But hey! When the crone talks, you listen!

“A jar of glass keeps away envious spirits and people who want to hurt you.”

“Everything dead deserves to be honored.”

“Strings of seeds bring prosperity.”

“A stone in the windowsill is a soldier that keeps away thieves, but make sure it’s not a pretty rock cause they might steal it!”

“When you trim a vine, keep some branches by the door so all the hard work you’ve done doesn’t disappear in a single day!”

“When you’re old and can’t move so much anymore, keep a jar of seeds by the Gods so they can pick their offerings as they please.”

“I keep lavender by the computer because it helps me remember how to open Facebook. Lavender is good for memory. Tell your friends of the internet.”

“I keep the obsidian and the agathe geodes in front of the TV so there will be no bad news.”

So there you have it.

Advice from an authentic crone with over 70 years of Craft , Old Yeyé.

She wishes you all many blessings and love and hopes you are all well guided.

Happy new season from lucky Old Yeyé!

If you ever find yourself in a situation where you decide you want to use witchcraft negatively on someone, there’s a lot of options to consider, and the distinctions are incredibly important. This list is not comprehensive, but it’s a good starting place to help you decide what you want to do.

1. Return to Sender. Sometimes, the ideal solution is to take the nasty energy the target sends your way and throw it right back at them. In this case, a ward that aims to reflect the energy away may be the right choice.

2. Binding. If someone is overstepping their boundaries, saying things they shouldn’t, or deserves to have their productivity stunted, perhaps a binding spell is the best fit. There are plenty aimed at causing the target’s actions to stagnate.

3. Jinx. A jinx is a minor inconvenience for the receiver and is generally low-effort for the sender. Most commonly, they cause bad luck, mistakes, twisted tongues, and things of that sort. There are exceptions to the rule, but jinxes are generally milder than hexes and curses.

4. Hexes. Typically, hexes are thought of as less-extreme than curses. Consider, when deciding to hex someone, how far you want to go. Consider the potency of your ingredients, the wording of any parameters, and the intensity of your intent. If you want to cause minor inconveniences, you probably don’t need to be impaling rusty nails through cow’s tongue. The ritual should be reflective of your intent. Be sure to cover loopholes where possible. Be specific in your intent. Wishing general bad days can have wildly varying effects. That could mean a bad hair day or an outright catastrophe that will change them for the rest of their life. Be specific. Better safe than sorry,

5. Curses. Curses are the most intensive option on this list. Curses can be anything from a significant inconvenience to a generational issue. Again, consider the intensity you’re going for, and plan accordingly. I am in no way anti-curse, but you do need to think critically before acting. For example, perhaps someone has done something horrible to you, and you’re thinking of doing a spell to worsen their mental condition. What impact might this have on them, ultimately? What is the strongest possible outcome? Are you okay with that outcome? If not, dial down what you’re aiming to do. You should never get yourself in over your head. Unless you are certain that you will be able to accept what happens as a result, don’t do it. Think before you act. This is not something to be flippant with.
