A little incantation to bless the recipient of your knitted gifts! (Can be yourself!)

Use this to enchant a garment you are knitting and bring happiness and peace to whoever wears it!

As you knit a row, repeat as many of these “verses” as needed:

In these fibers, there shall be

Patience; one, and two, and three

Kindness; four, and five, and six

Wearer’s worries, they shall fix.

In these fibers, there shall be

Warmth in one, and two, and three

Love in four, and five, and six

Wearer’s sorrow, they shall fix.

In these fibers, there shall be

Comfort; one, and two, and three

Healing; four, and five, and six

Wearer’s ailments, they shall fix.

In these fibers, there shall be

Solace; one, and two, and three

Peace in four, and five, and six

Wearer’s stresses, they shall fix.

In these fibers, there shall be

Hope in one, and two, and three

Strength in four, and five, and six

Wearer’s weakness, they shall fix.

In these fibers, there shall be

Energy; one, two, and three

Mindfulness; four, five, and six

Wearer’s spirit, they shall fix

In these fibers, there shall be

Guidance; one, and two, and three

Vision; four, and five, and six

Wearer’s drifting, they shall fix.

When you have repeated enough phrases, end with:

In these fibers, there shall be

Answers to your prayers and pleas

And as I will, so mote it be.

How to perform the spell

One way it can be done is stitch by stitch, starting at the first one in a line. This would be performed by saying (for example), “In these fibers, there shall be… Patience; one (do first stitch) and two (second stitch) and three (third stitch). Kindness; four (fourth stitch) and five (fifth stitch) and six… wearer’s worries, they shall fix.” And so on. This would be done until you reach the end of the line, where you could simply recite the last part of the spell, or, if your have three stitches left, say each part while completing the stitches.

If the garment is already finished, simply perform the spell by placing your finger in each respective stitch while reciting the spell.

No matter how you do it, you can add or take out as many “verses” of the spell as you want! Feel free to add words or things that you think the wearer may need— friendship, motivation, humility, etc.

To all those who need recovery after a psychic/karmic attack, feel as though you are powerless and you need that little extra magical push, or merely for those who have had a not-so-good day,

this is for you.

Take back what belongs to you, little witch. 

Your voice can mend. 

“Calling upon the powers from

North, South, East, and West,

The four corners of the Earth, I take my power back.

Forsake all who threaten to do harm upon me,

I signal the universe to protect me,

and sever me from their toxicity.

Grant me the power to rise above where they had thought I had been sent to fall.

I thank the powers of North, South, East, and West,

The gifts of the Earth and the stars above;

powers of earth, water, fire, and air

with good to all, 

reverse harm that has been done,

by the grace of my own magic,

this spell is done.”

A tea spell for getting past emotional pain/exhaustion and bringing in comfort and self love -💌

Collect: a mug, vanilla black tea (or black tea and vanilla extract), cinnamon, milk (or milk substitute), honey, rose quartz and/or amethyst

Positivi-Tea!

For the annon who asked for types of tea to drink in witchcraft.

There are lots of amazing herbs to use for tea that have so many benefits physically and spiritually but please please please be careful. Do more research and remember not all herbs are food grade

I will only be talking about teas that I am familiar with. They are quite common and you shouldn’t have difficulty finding them. I have made my own tea out of herbs I’ve grown but that’s a post for another day.

Green Tea

Green tea has been used medicinally for centuries. It is known to prevent cancer, reduce risk of stroke, reduce ldl cholesterol (the bad one), boost metabolism and is used for weight loss, improve brain function and prevent Alzheimer’s, prevents heart disease, good for your teeth and kills bacteria, and its proven to help you live longer. Its magical properties are equally abundant. Green tea is used for all kinds of healing magic, used for longevity, brings wealth and can be used in money spells, great for love spells and improves sexual performance, boosts energy, banishes negativity so its great for cleansings.

Black Tea

Black tea is something to turn to when you need a pick me up. Its the most caffeinated of the teas I’m mentioning, not as much a coffee but still a decent amount. It’s full of antioxidants, prevents cancer, reduces risk of stroke, improves gut health, boosts heart health, can reduce blood sugar levels and blood pressure, helps to regulate diabetes, improves focus. It can be used in witchcraft for so many different things. Drink it for courage, banishes boredom, brings wealth and can be used in money spells, stimulates the mind, and its just a great tea to drink if you’re feeling a but down and need a little boost.

Chamomile Tea

A lovely tea to drink for a good night’s sleep and sweet dreams but it also has so much more to offer. Chamomile harnesses the energy of the sun which helps promote healing and banishes negativity. It relieves stress and anxiety, helps an upset stomach, and is truly one of the best cures for a hard time sleeping or bad dreams. On nights when you feel anxious, need to protect yourself from some type of darkness looming, or just need a little self care and relaxation Chamomile is the way to go.

Peppermint Tea

Peppermint is such a great thing. I’ve been drinking peppermint tea medicinally since I was little. It’s great for stomach aces, soothing headaches, great to drink when you’re feeling a bit anxious, and lovely for sore throats (when my throat is sore I can’t eat almost an entire tin of Altoids, mint really helps). It’s abundant in spiritual benefits too. It brings good luck, banishes negativity while promoting positive thinking, it is said to repel vampires, it’s great for bringing inspiration and clearing the mind, and promotes overall physical and spiritual healing. Definitely one to keep in the pantry!

Hibiscus Tea

Hibiscus tea is a beautiful, tart floral tea that tastes similar to cranberry juice, but its lovely all year. Its full of antioxidants, prevents cancer, improves liver health, fights bacteria, and its a natural diuretic. Hibiscus attracts love, lust, passion, and divination. Great to drink for a love spell, used to cause prophetic dreams, and it can be used in wedding ceremonies.

Ginger Tea

A hot cup of ginger tea might just be the best thing on a cold winter night. Ginger tea is wonderful for relieving nausea, great for gut health, fights respiratory issues, reduces inflammation, strengthens immune system, relieves period cramps, reduces stress, and its packed with vitamin C and magnesium. Ginger is great for attracting love and passion. Draws wealth, success, and prosperity.

Lemon Balm Tea

an apple can be used for a simple house blessing; cut an apple in half, and eat one half in your home. place the other outside, in the backyard or front porch, as an offering to good spirits for protection and warm energy.

bay leaves can be placed in the corners of a room to banish evil from it and protect those within it.

a cactus can be grown near a house to offer strong protection; even stronger protection is gained by planting cacti at all for corners of the home.

planting catnip in the garden, or hanging it above your door, will attract good spirits and good luck.

chamomile can be sprinkled about in the home to break curses and unwanted spells cast on or in the home.

cilantro brings peace and harmony to a home.

clover can be sprinkled around a home to banish unwanted spirits.

garlic can be hung in a home to bring its inhabitants closer together.

ivy plants can be hung to deter unwanted guests.

lavender can be burned and its ashes sprinkled about to cultivate rest and tranquility within the home.

orange peel can be placed in windowsills to bless the house with angel and sun energy.

peppermint can be burned as a smoke cleanser to remove illness and negative energy from a new home.

a sprig of pine can be hung in the home to bless it and its inhabitants.

sachets of saffron can bring happiness to the home.

I’ve been meaning to share this recipe not only for its magical properties, but  because it’s honestly changed my skin in ways no store-bought toner has

rice is associated with mother-type deities and feminine energy. it can be used in spells for protection, wealth and blessings. when applied to the skin as rice water, it has anti-inflammatory and brightening properties

keep it in the fridge and apply with a cotton pad after the shower, it feels so so good. on lazy days i’ll just use this as my face cleanser, but keep in mind I have fairly normal skin🌜

Materials

·      organic white/jasmine/basmati rice·      bowl·      water·      container

Steps

·      add a handful of rice to the bowl and rinse it first, disposing of the water

·      add your desired amount of water to the bowl and set aside

First of all, I firmly believe that Hestia wants you to put your health and happiness first. If any of these don’t fit with your life/are things that will make you unhappy, simply don’t do them! For example, not all of us were born into loving families, or have time/money to donate. I just hope this will inspire you to find your own ways to feel more connected to Hestia if you so chose this holiday season <3

Friends/Family (the loved ones in your life):

Bake together. 

Have a potluck/feast where everyone brings what they have and you create a meal together.

Have a harvest feast filled with local goods and produce. Support local businesses and your loved ones at the same time!

Spend a day crafting together.

Gift homemade/handcrafted items instead of store bought. 

Do a gift exchange - add limitations/themes that feel good and genuine!

Give gifts to the people you love not because of social obligations but because you were thinking of them!

Day-to-day life when you’re out and about:

Pay for someone else’s coffee.

Find someplace cozy and sit there, enjoying the moment. 

Leave bigger tips than usual - especially during the holiday rush.

Hold the door open for somebody.

Buy some flowers and give them to people who look like they could use a smile (yourself included!)

Help people with their groceries/bags (but be safe about it and use common sense).

Practice kindness and patience while driving. 

Compliment others.

Day-to-day life at home + what to do on your own:

Go to bed earlier than usual.

Make yourself a cuppa and take the time to savor it.

Make a hearth fire or light a candle.

Bake yourself something yummy.

Take advantage of the seasonal decor and use it to decorate your altar.

Cuddle up under some blankets and enjoy some cheesy, heart-warming movies.

Take up knitting or crocheting. 

Tidy up your home/living space.

Turn of all the lights before bed and spend some time in candle light. 

Ways to help others (not already listed):

Donate toys or other gift-able items.

Participate in a food drive. 

Offer to sponsor a kid for their holiday (small gifts and maybe a bigger one).

Send cards/post cards to seniors or sick children.

Write thank you notes and leave baked goods/sweets for trash collectors, mail carriers, and other people who’s work you often take for granted.

Ask homeless people if they need any food or layers as the weather gets warmer. 

Volunteer at a soup kitchen or somewhere similar.

I’ve found that the spirit of this season (thankfulness and caring) makes me feel closer to Her and I enjoy devoting acts to Her, creating Her altar and praying to Her during the cold winter months.

But, most importantly, do whatever makes you feel content, kind, happy, and closer to Her <3 I’d love to hear your ideas!
