WHAT TO DO:

as always, ground yourself and cast a circle in the way you prefer

light all your candles, you can also light some insence if you’d like

in no particular order, add all your herbs into the jar (using a funnel - even if you make one from paper, can be really helpful), focussing on intent

create a sigil with the intent of protection using your own words and method. draw it on a small slip of paper, fold and add to the jar.

speak affirmations into the jar focusing on the protection of yourself ( or whoever will be wearing this). You can also repeat the statement used for the sigil

put the lid on and place the jar on something you can pour the candle wax onto.

pour all the candle wax onto your spell jar, allowing it to run down the sides and even create a pool at the bottom

allow the candle wax to mainly dry and remove the bottle. it is now done. i like to put the left lever wax that’s not attached on a wax melt thingy and melt it for further protection

Note: I have not been able to read through all of these yet, I am slowly making my way down the list. If there is a book that is offensive or incorrect please send me a message and I will review it and remove it from the list if necessary.

Hope you enjoy! Please feel free to add to the list!

Fruit Correspondences from my google drive grimoire, before they get organized into my physical grimoire. As someone from Puerto Rico currently living in Florida, many/most of the fruits here can be found in the Caribbean and Florida, and have the cultural correspondences that I personally feel them to have from my own upbringing. 

Visiting natural history and art museum. Not only for the spirit work (museums are surprisingly rife with spirits) but also the reflection on the objects themselves that are imbued with death energy due to their age.

Kitchen witchcraft with fermentation. I’m talking both home starters/yeasts and drink based fermenting! The process of encouraging fermentation is literally a controlled necromancy if you think about it! Also your own fermented product will be excellent to use in spellwork!

Upcycle crafting! The process of reusing items in a new way that you already had or seeking out items to use instead of letting them become trash is also working with death energy!

Playing death related games or watching movies with friends and family. Death witchcraft tasks and energy work doesn’t have to look witchy! If you have a weekly or monthly hangout where you play tabletops like Betrayal at House on the Hill or even online games. Or watch documentaries or movies with loved ones that related that totally counts! Especially as a lower spoon option.

Drawing or photographing abandoned buildings/architecture. So often people forgot that the decay of manmade objects and places do hold death energy and weight. Tapping into this side of death witchcraft can be an interesting experience.

Visiting a 24 hour store or restaurant in the middle of the night. This is a personal experience of mine but that quiet low level liminal space energy is such a similar transitional energy as to help you grow your experience and sensing of death energy. Also walking through a store at 3am is a good time to practice a walking meditation or some simple spirit communication without too much trouble. Just have your headphones in for an excuse!

Learning to maintain your own compost! I’m hopeless with the green thumb side of things myself but I still have composting I do for my yard in general. My wildflowers and natural growth is lovely because of it! The cycle of your kitchen supplies life and decay is such a simple and deep way to access that death energy and maybe even work your way up to having that green thumb! Also using this compost in spellwork will pack a punch!

Things You’ll Need: - Yellow Candle (productive energy to seal jar) *optional   - Cinnamon or Cayenne pepper (success and energy) - Black Pepper (enhance energy) -Crushed Red Pepper (enhance energy) -Dried Lavender (healing, calm, anti-stress) -Dragon’s Blood Calcite/Red Calcite (enhance energy, grounding) *optional -Bottle

What To Do: Layer the ingredients, filling each with intent and energy. Once you’re done layering, seal the jar with the wax from the yellow candle. The crystal can be used to enhance the intention while your creating the spell jar. Just meditate with it for a few minutes. *These are just some things I associate with gaining/enhancing energy. Change them if you need to. Also I put “or Cayenne pepper” because I had that originally, but didn’t realize I was out of it.

Good luck on your journey and sending you positive vibes!✌🏻🔮🍀

Since Beltane is about celebrating the arrival of summer, it’s a perfect day to plan how you want your summer to be like and maintain the day at a high vibe to manifest for summer.

What is Beltane?

Beltane is celebrated on May 1st although some people choose to celebrate it from April 30th to May 1st. Beltane is a day for fun, light-hearted celebration, love, and it is often represented by maypole dancing and performing fire rituals to honor the Mother Goddess and Sun God. The days are getting longer and all life is bursting with potent fertility and sexuality on earth is at its peak.  Beltane celebrations are filled with feasts and sun magick, the name Beltane means “fire of Bel”. Beltane is a time to watch what you’ve been manifesting and working so hard towards come to life before your eyes. Celebrate, laugh, love, drink, eat and have a good time!

Ways to Celebrate

Quarantine Edition

Play music that gets you feeling happy and excited. Beltane is a celebration of abundance and high energy, so play music that raises your energy

Prepare something in the kitchen. Make a food that reminds you of the coming summer months, share it with whoever you live with if you can/want to

Get crafty! You could draw, paint, write or even just work on a project for yourself. It could really be anything, as long as you’re creating it.

Light some candles or incense! Lighting fires on Beltane is tradition. So however you can safely have a fire lit nearby, have it burning while you do any of the other activities listed above.

Flower gathering

Nature walks

Washing your face with morning dew

Making Beltane bread

Spoonie Edition

Wake up earlier than usual to enjoy a full day of light

Make flower crowns with real, fake or paper flowers

Braid something (your hair, bracelet, ribbons, etc.)

Make sure sunlight and fresh air can reach you

Enjoy some fresh fruits, nuts and seeds

Drink tea or water infused fruit

Decorate with/wear/create things with bright colors

Decorate a new pot for your plants (painting, sharpies, ribbons, etc.)
