✵✵✵

i’ve been inactive on tumblr for months, but i would like to try to be more active. there were old and dusty asks from various blogs, and i’ve deleted them all to start fresh. So! if anyone has interest in interacting, please feel free to send something else in!

hey everyone! after weeks of preparation , i’ve finally opened up an etsy shop!!

i’d love if you take a look at what i’ve got up right now– these are just my favorites!

Having a small living space can cause lots of witchy problems. One thing that I struggled finding space for was an altar for the deities I follow. I’ve seen lots of posts about making travel sized altars in mint tins for the busy or closeted witch and that’s where I got the inspiration to make my deity jars!

What you can do is get a wide mouth jar (there are loads available at places like the Dollar Store for a witch on a budget) and fill it with plants, crystals, and other items that are sacred or are of some significance to the deity you’re making it for.

For example, my Aphrodite jar is filled with dried rose petals, pearl-like beads on a necklace, rose quartz, clear quartz, sea shells, and coral.

You can use the jars for worship, prayers, meditation, harnessing the energy of the deity for spells, or for amplifying your own energy for spells that would fall into the deities domain.

I’ve used my Aphrodite jar for all sorts of love spells! I’ve used it focus my intent during spells and if a love spell requires writing your intent on paper, I just put the finished writings inside the jar for a period of time based on lunar phases or until the spell is completed and accomplished.

I came up with this the other day after seeing some spell jar recipes, so I thought why not combine my love of indoor gardening with witchcraft? This is a living spell jar! I used this for a continual self love + growth spell but you can adapt this to your own needs <3

You will need:

- a clean jar (can be sealed or unsealed

- cleansed non-water-soluble stones / crystals

- charged water (moon/sun/river etc.)

- moss (and terrarium plants like ferns, Fittonia etc if you have them!)

- bit of regular potting soil

Instructions:

1. Moss can be collected pretty much from anywhere outside (make sure it’s not from protected areas of course). I use the really common green fluffy moss (ordinary moss) you can find growing on brick/ forest floors etc, I just remove a bit with a knife and leave the rest.

2. Draw a sigil on the bottom of the jar with the intention you want for the spell jar (I’m using one for personal growth and self love)

3. Layer a couple cm of potting soil on top

4. Add the moss by pressing it down lightly onto the soil- it should establish itself in a couple of weeks! You can also add any small terrarium plants you have!

5. Decorate with the stones / crystals! make sure you charge them with the intention for you jar. (I used clear quartz, rose quartz and moss agate)

6. Spray charged water into the jar (and seal if you have a lid- if not just mist more regularly)

7. Voila! Feel free to charge the jar itself with your intentions (I like to leave it in moonlight overnight) as well for an extra boost!

My submission for Character Design Challenge theme of the month : “Olympian Gods”

✨These are going to make some Hellenics mad but the visuals are stunning🤩

HERMES! God of Commerce and Master of Thieves! 

Hermes is the Messenger of the Gods. I meant to draw him looking younger but sometimes drawings take on a mind of their own.
