This was a gift that I gave to a friend for success, prosperity, strength and luck in the coming new year.  

You will need:

a small corked bottle whole almonds (employment, money, health) rose buds (protection) chamomile flowers (money, luck) bay leaf (strength) ground ginger (money, success, power) five finger leaf (money, health, power, wisdom) ground cinnamon (success, money) ground allspice (money, luck) ground clove (money) elm bark (protection from gossip and false friends) mandrake root (prosperity, gives the spell a kick) orange zest (joy, health, purification) rosemary a sigil for prosperity, strength, and luck

I was asked to make a tutorial on how I make my felted Yule goat ornaments!

Optional is stuffing herbs crystals etc inside the goat for extra oomph!

*inspired by Sansa and all the horrific events through which she survived* Needed: - something to charm, like a necklace or pin - Black, Red, and Blue Candles - Garnet, Sardonyx, Onyx - Thyme, Pine needles, and basil - something to put it all in

Steps: - light your candles - pull out your container - wave your charm over the candles but not through the flame.  - set it inside the box, and repeat that process with each of the other ingredients, starting with your herbs.  - The pine, basil and thyme all represent strength and perseverance. Scatter them lightly in your container over your charm.  - Set your stones inside as well - seal the container and set it aside overnight - Blow out your candles to close and activate the spell.  - the next morning, take out your charm and carry it with you for as long as you need it. 

If you don’t have something for a spell here are some really easy things you can use your phone for:

✨download a candle app

✨download an app that lets you make a digital altar

✨set an altar up when you’re alone and safe to, take a photo of it and use that when you can’t have your real altar set it. (Even video it if you want lit candles!!)

✨Google and save the image of a tarot card/gemstone/feather/animal/altar tools required for a spell

✨use YouTube to play a bell chime or wind chimes

✨use YouTube to play a video of running water/the sea

✨download a meditation app that has sound clips- now you have bird call, water sounds, some have fire crackling…

✨use a drawing app to draw sigils and other symbols

✨ if a spell requires you to write something and then burn it, write it on a drawing app and then erase it

Other witchy things you can use your phone for:

✨digital book of shadows - either on your notes or you can download a password protected journal or note book app

✨download a tarot card app that gives you readings

✨magic 8 ball app for pendulum style divination (yes, no, maybe, don’t know)

✨download a guided meditation app or search them on YouTube

✨meditational music free on Spotify

✨notes or journal app to keep a gratitude or dream diary

✨dream dictionary app or website bookmarked on phone

I know these aren’t quite the same as having the real thing but if you can’t obtain things, you can’t afford them, or just can’t afford to be caught practicing witchcraft, don’t be afraid to use your phone!

Acorn moon candles

• Harvested acorn shells • Wax bits from old candles • Old incense stick bottoms • Lavander flower (optional)

》 Melt the wax (wax burner or old tin can and an old pot full of water on the stove works well for this), pour into shells, stick the wicks in and blow softly for a few seconds… wax will harden and the candle is done! Repeat for as many as you’d like to make!

A coping board is used to help you keep yourself “on schedule” throughout your day.  It can be used by people who have trouble doing “daily” tasks like showering, eating, or taking medication. It’s also beneficial to people who have trouble keeping track of what they’ve done that day due to mental health related memory problems. This is also beneficial to people who (like me) don’t have the energy to make daily to do lists because that task alone is pretty exhausting and depending on my mental state can be overwhelming. By having a set list of things already prepared, it makes my tasks less draining. 

This is what a Coping Board is, a piece of cork board with short lists of things you want to or should be doing. I made my lists out of index cards, and I continue to add them as I have the energy or remember things I want to do.  First, start with tasks you want to complete each morning 

This is what my “morning” list looks like.  As I complete each task, I move the pin from To Do to Done.  This helps me keep track of what I have already done this morning and what I still would like to accomplish. You don’t have to do them in any particular order, it just so happens I did my first four in order today. 

Next, make a list of things you’d like to do each night before you go to bed.

This is what my  “nighttime” list looks like. I also reset my morning list as I complete my nighttime list, so its ready for me the next day. 

You can also add other lists that pertain to you. For example, I have a very hard time keeping track of what day of the week it is, so I added a “day of the week” list.

Each morning when I wake up, I move the pin to the next day.  I also added a list of things I’d like to make sure I do at least once a week.

Personally this list is more of a “wish list” of things I don’t want to forget about, but definitely don’t always have the energy for.  I reset this list every Sunday.

Finally, you can also add things that you use as self care tactics or coping skills. For me, since I practice energy work, this list is mostly about changing the energy of my personal space in my room. 

I try to do these daily, but sometimes weekly is more realistic. 

The great thing about a Coping Board is that its so easy to add or remove things from your schedule.  If you have a medication change, you can make a sheet to help you remember what dosage to take each day as you transition.  This is my summer board, but during the semester I would probably add different lists for each of my classes or things I need to complete like a paper or an art assignment. The possibilities are endless, and it’s easy to customize to what you need most.
