1) Don’t. It’s appropriative and gross.

2) Still don’t.

3) Jesus never participated in the type of seder that Jews have today. He lived (if he existed as described in your Christian holy books) during the Second Temple Era of Judaism, when worship was Temple-focused and ritual sacrifice was a key facet of the holiday. The modern seder takes most of its traditions from rabbinic Judaism, which was not the Judaism of Jesus.

4) Don’t do it. Don’t. No, there is no good reason for you to do it.

5) Given the Christian antisemitic violence traditionally inflicted on the Jews during this time of year (the lead up to Easter), it is EXTRA awful for Christians to try and appropriate our traditions related to Passover.

6) Don’t. Pesach is our holiday, and our religion is a semi-closed practice. Don’t appropriate our stuff. Don’t make our stuff about Jesus.

7) There are no exceptions to the rule that Christians should not host Passover seders.

White, green, oolong, and black tea all come from the same plant (camellia sinensis) but are separated by how oxidized they are.

A lot of ‘tea correspondence’ lists make associations based on the *color* of the tea, rather than by the oxidation cycle. Correspondences are quite personal, of course, but as somewhat who quite likes tea I think there can be deeper meaning beyond the color. I associate the four types of teas and other four step cycles: ages, time of day, elements, seasons. I’ve also included the health benefits of each type of tea. Green Tea: Childhood • Morning • Earth • Spring.  All tea starts out green. Green tea is not oxidized. Nature, health and growth. Interferes with the growth of cancers; prevents clogging of the arteries, burn fat, counteracts oxidative stress on the brain, reduces risk of neurological disorders, reduces risk of stroke, and improves cholesterol levels.

White Tea: Youth • Afternoon • Air • Summer.  White tea is 1-10% oxidized. Cleanliness, purity and simplicity. The most potent anticancer properties compared to more processed teas. Good for skin.

Oolong Tea: Maturity • Evening • Water • Autumn. Oolong tea is 10-85% oxidized. Stability, balance, and variety. Lowers cholesterol levels.

From the Herbal Grimoire by the blog The Wiccan Lady. Here's the link to the blog for the complete list and further reading:

The new moon occurs when the sun and moon are aligned. At this phase, from our perspective on Earth, the dark side of the moon is facing us, as none of its side is illuminated by the sun. This is the first phase of the lunar cycle.

✨ Focus: clean slate, new beginnings, fresh starts, hope, openness  

🔮 Mantra: “I am strong, I am powerful, I am calm, I can do anything”

🕯️ Self-care prompts and rituals:

Create a new playlist with music that inspires you.

Tidy your home and reset the energy in your space.

Take care of your house plants and/or your garden.

It's a good time to start a new project or build a new habit.

Designate a new space for your project, or clean-up your desk.

Plan for a new activity that you've been willing to try.

Start a journal to write about your new journey.

Read inspirational quotes.

Take a close friend out to lunch and share your ideas and dreams.

Go to a museum in your city or look up artwork online.

Change your bed sheets and pillowcases.

Okay, so I realized something today. I always see posts detailing the various correspondences of different types of water. Moon water, sun water, eclipse water, rain water, storm water, snow water, even *dew* water. Water from a lake, a river, an ocean, a stream, a brook. Even water collected from mist.

But y'all know what I haven’t seen?

Rainbow water.

So hold on to your seats yall because I’m about to take ya on a ride.

Rainbow water is something I use quite often in my craft. Why? Because it’s got so many uses! I use it for:

LBGTQ+ spells

Spells for positivity

Spells for luck

Spells for change

Spells for perserverance

Spells for hope

Spells for connection (I call them “bridge spells”)

Spells for happiness

Spells for creativity/imagination

Honestly, I have no idea why I haven’t seen rainbow water being mentioned before. It can’t be because it’s too difficult to collect because, y'all,

You can make your own rainbows. You don’t have to wait for one to show up in the sky.

Observe:

That right there is a bona fide rainbow that i created with nothing but a hose on the mist option and natural sunlight. Get yourself a pretty (or ugly) bottle with a wide mouth and you can very easily make your own rainbow water!

“But wait, Eiolrin, what if I don’t have a hose?”

Nothing to fear. I’ve got your back. You can also collect rainbow water by:

Shine a light through a prismatic crystal, then placing a bottle of regular water in the rainbow that’s created. Just like making sun/moon water! You don’t need to put it in the rainbow for more than maybe 1-5 minutes.

Get a plastic spray bottle that mists and spray the mist into natural sunlight until you find a rainbow. Hold bottle against the rainbow and *keep misting*.

Hell, you know what? Who needs an *actual* rainbow?

Draw a rainbow. Print out a picture of a picture of a rainbow. This rainbow is in my grimoire in the form of a magic circle (enchantment circle) and i’ve imbued it with the energy of a rainbow. I use this to make rainbow water sometimes.

So go forth and conquer, my lovelies! Be the witch/mage/occultist that uses rainbow water! Spread this around and make sure this is something that becomes a thing because in my opinion, rainbow water is just too useful to be ignored as a valid component in spells and other things.

As a bonus, here’s my rainbow water!

🎃 Autumn will bring release.

🦉 Autumn will bring wisdom.
