Never Give In

I thought someone was making a point with these images to say "look see, you'll care when it's European. When that heritage site brings in money and is recognized world round because of its constant appearance in movies and TV."

Except I googled it to double check.

the ascendant sign is the our persona but not in a way that it masks up who we really are. i like to describe it as a window between us and the world that is toned by the sign its in - it colors the way you look at the world and others and also how others look at you. that is meant by the role we take on. aries ascendent will make you look at the world in a very driven and egocentric way and, conversely, the world will see you as taking in the leader role etc… its the part we play so to say.

the sun sign is our identity, meaning its how we define what is unique and special to us, what is important for us to keep up a self-concept. thats why people strongly identify with their sun signs and defend them all the time - their ego is stronlgy tied to that sign. it describes how we consciously act. a sagittarius sun person for example will take lots of pride and define their identity through their wisdom and optimism and when those things are attacked their self concept feels threatened so their act in a way that reinforces their identity of the archetypal sagittarius teacher&motivator.

Disclaimer: This is all based on my research, path, opinion & experiences! Intro: I really was holding out on doing this post because it’s such a big, important topic to cover and I really don’t want to mess it up or get anything wrong. This post needs to be done though, people have asked if I have such a post and an anon suggested it. So finally, here it is.  - What Is Warding?: Warding is a type of magick, it is the act of creating an energetic barrier around you, your home, an object, ect. They can be temporary or permanent, although typically they are cast with the long term in mind. They can banish or turn away whatever you choose. Warding is an excellent skill to have because it can keep you, and even others safe and with practice you can do it anytime with just about whatever you have on hand.  When Should I Ward?: Whenever you want an energetic barrier around you, most people consistently ward their home, themselves or their place of practice. Some people even ward their space every time they prepare for a spell. It should be done consistently in any area you want protected, but exactly where and how often is entirely up to the practitioner.  What Should I Do Before?: Cleanse, a ward is a barrier of energy and in the same way that it keeps things out it also keeps things in. You don’t want to trap anything inside of it. Cleanse yourself before you ward yourself. Cleanse your space before you ward your space!  Tips Before You Ward: Phrasing:  Keep the phrasing in mind! You don’t want to keep anything out that you want in, or let something in that you want out. If you’re chanting or using sigils ect keep in mind exactly what you want to keep out both in your methods and in your mind. Covering everything:  Make sure to cover everything, a ward is useless if there’s a weakness in it or if the ceiling & floor aren’t probably covered. Be super thorough!  Layering Your Wards: One small little wimpy barrier? Ha, the spirits say as they scramble into your home to wreak havoc! You need to layer your wards, don’t just use one method one time, there’s no such thing as too much warding.  What Are Some Ways That I Can Ward?: Now we’ll get right down to the methods you can use to ward yourself and your space! Remember that warding is important and needs to be effective, don’t try anything that you don’t have experience with for warding. At first, focus on the stuff you know. If you like sigils, use sigils at first and slowly work your way into using other more complex methods or methods that solely rely on your abilities. • Circle Casting:  You cast a circle by summoning the four elements to protect & energize what is in the circle.  - Here’s my post about circles & how to cast them  • Chanting/Speaking: Come up with a protective chant you can use to ward your space. This chant could be someone else’s or your own as long as you feel it’s effective. Speak it aloud and visualize a layer of energy protecting your space.  • Incense: Burn a protective incense in the space you’d like to ward and visualize a barrier protecting your space. • Athame:  Draw out the line of your ward with your athame, visualize the wall appearing, covering everything with a thick layer of energy.  • Spraying: Spray a mix of blessed/magickal waters and or herbs with protective properties in the space you want to ward.  • Sigils: Create a sigil using your favorite method with the intent to “ward” or “protect/protection.” Then charge and activate it as a layer of protection! Here’s my post on sigils if you’re interested in that: - Sigil Post • Jar Spells: You could mix up a jar spell for warding, set it in your house and forget it as a layer of warding.  - My protective jar spell post • Anointment: Anoint the doorways of your space, you could also anoint the ceiling, floor, walls, corners, honestly go for it.  • Salt: Sprinkle salt all around the edge of your home or space. Make sure to sprinkle salt on the INSIDE of your harm as salt can harm plants & wildlife if used outside. If you’d like to make a barrier on the outside of your home, you can use dried & crushed eggshells in place of salt. - Post on how to make eggshell powder here -  • Hag stones: Hag stones are stones with holes in them that have been corroded into the stone because of rushing water. It is believed rushing water is protective & cleansing so if you wear a stone that sat in it long enough to have parts corroded away, that the stone will maintain and keep those properties with it. It’s a great way to personally ward yourself, and an excuse to go out in nature.  They look like this! 

Decoration tips from the local hearth witch

Dried slices of orange, lemon, lime, and apple are wonderful for decorating your sacred space (mine is my kitchen). Create strings of them to dangle from the ceiling, or perhaps set them one by one along your windowsill. Not only is it a cute and witchy way to invite positive energy into your home, but it’s homemade and very Earth-friendly.

To begin this project, I consulted both a very old recipe card from one of my relatives and the internet. The following is what I did in particular, though I offer no guarantee that this will work perfectly.

Preheat the oven to the lowest temperature possible, preferably between 150 and 200 degrees Fahrenheit.

Find a cooling rack and a baking sheet or metal pan big enough to hold said cooling rack. (This is to keep the fruit slices elevated while baking, to prevent burning.)

Slice the fruit of your choice, preferably round, ripe, and unbruised, into 1/8 to 1/4 inch pieces. The thinner your slices, the faster they will dry. Thin slices also allow more light to pass through, thus creating a sun-catcher of sorts.

If using apples, soak the slices in 1 cup of lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of table salt (or a similar ratio) for about 10 minutes before baking to prevent browning.

Use a tea towel to pat dry each slice of fruit. You may press gently on the pieces to squeeze out more moisture, but be careful not to damage or stretch your slices.

Place the fruit slices onto the cooling rack. Place the cooling rack onto your baking sheet (to catch any residual fruit juice) and pop it into the oven.

Return once every hour to turn over the slices of fruit. You’ll know slices are done when they harden—if you squeeze the fruit and liquid is still present, it is not fully dried yet.

After 3–6 hours, you have your dried slices! This little project will bless your home with the lovely scent of warm citrus. If you’re feeling festive, try adding cinnamon sticks, walnuts, or ginger to your mix.

Notes from the hearth witch:

Don’t fret if some of your slices are overdone. Even the brownest of my lemon slices look perfectly clear in the light!

For me this is spellwork, and the entire process was very calm and grounded. My craft is about making the home a sacred place. I have simply shared the “recipe” portion of the experience; take liberty in using it for your own rituals, giving these as gifts, or simply making a decoration.

no witch succeeds with their spells 100% of the time. here’s a short list of reasons why it could have happened and some solutions

possible reasons why:

distraction - a spell you’re not invested in isn’t going to have much power behind it. if you’re concentrated more on you. if you cast a motivation spell while planning out your vacation, it’s going to subtract from that motivation. 

rosemary replaces everything - supposedly. it supplies general power, but if you add nothing into the spell that has any real meaning to you, then what is that power supposed to do? where does that energy go with no direction?

associations - the correspondences everyone else lists for herbs and stones and planets can be very useful, but sometimes you have a personal conflicting association. perhaps lavender is gross to you, and not peaceful at all. then that dream sachet isn’t going to give you peaceful dreams. 

didn’t help the spell - magic does not exist in a vaccum. spells can only do so much, but if you don’t make the effort, it much less likely to work. job spells dont work if you don’t fill out applications, love spells don’t work if you don’t go out and talk to people, and so on. 

too many cooks - if you cast 10 love spells, and yet no one is attracted to you, it’s entirely possible they all did work but they all conflicted with each other, and ended up canceling each other out. 

shot for the stars- sometimes you try to achieve something, and you set your expectations too high. either it’s impossible, you’re trying from the wrong angle, or you didn’t get as much as you wanted.

cancellation - sometimes a spell may appear not to work when it does, but the results are invisible because it canceled something else out. say you cast a money spell and get no extra cash after several weeks, it could be just helping you maintain your current income and blocking extraneous expenses.

impatience - unless you programmed a working time limit into it, the spell could be working and you just don’t see the results yet. these things can take time.

out of your depth - if you don’t feel like you’re ready to do a spell, your lack of confidence or discomfort can either disable the spell or not give it enough power to work

what to do:

take a break, ground, cleanse, and give it time. refocus your intentions

contemplate each ingredient and step in the spell, and modify

use the ingredients that you know best work for you, old standards hold up.

think about what you could do to help the spell work. what mundane methods haven’t you tried?

take a step back and look at it realistically. is there another angle you can approach this from, can you break it down into smaller steps?

* Wear lots of green

* Have a bonfire and fill it with fragrant incense, flowers, and sacred woods

* Bake tiny colorful cookies (with flowers, if you can!) and offer them to your local fae

* The veil is the thinnest this time of year - the only other time it’s this thin is during Samhain. Venerate and honor the spirits, and guard against malicious ones with salt along your windowsills or doors

* Wash your face with the morning dew to fill yourself with beauty

* Eat sexually suggestive foods or aphrodisiacs

* Dance. Dance a LOT. Turn on some drum-heavy music and let loose. Do it alone in your room at night, if you have to. 

* Go talk to all your local plants and give them little offerings of water. Blessed water charged with a quartz crystal would be extra nice.

* Do a tarot reading for yourself (or have someone else do it for you). This is a wonderful time of year for divination!

* Buy flowers. Pick flowers. Wear flowers. BE FLOWERS.

* You don’t have to have sex to have a legitimate Beltane, but you can always show yourself some love if ya know what I mean *wink wink*

* This is a holiday of sensual pleasure. That doesn’t necessarily mean sex - it means really indulge your senses. Take a hot, luxurious bath. Dance until you work up a sweat. Eat foods that you love and crave. Smell the flowers, feel your bare feet in the grass, splash your face with fresh water. FEEL the world around you - the spirits are alive and active on Beltane! Engage your emotional, intuitive, sensual side and you might catch a glimpse of one or two.

* Reach out to friends you haven’t talked to in awhile. Strike up a friendly conversation. Celebrate friendship!

* Meditate with crystals that open your third-eye or specifically relate to the fairy or devic realms - chlorite phantom quartz, moss agate, rainforest jasper, green diopside, spirit quartz, azeztulite, most green crystals, prehnite, a rock you found someplace outdoors that feels charged with earth energy - you choose!

* Perform solitary spells for abundance, protection, fertility, romance, love, sex, and divination!

* Plant seeds and start a magickal garden. There are lots of plants you can grow indoors pretty easily that have magickal properties.

* Dedicate an altar to Flora, Cernunnos, Bes, Pan, Hera, etc - any deity you can think of who rules fertility, marriage, romance, and abundance! 

REFLECTION. REFLECTION. REFLECTION.

Don’t panic. A Jupiter retrograde is nothing like a mercury retrograde.

This will last until August 11,2019. A whole 4 months!

The most intense for Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo, and Pisces. (Check which house of your birth chart Jupiter will move through to see how it will affect you, personally)

This year’s Jupiter retrograde is all about ROMANCE. And Sagittarius is all about ACTION.

Aries: the feeling of having too much energy for your own good, needing to let it out somehow, feeling actual rage

Taurus: the feeling of wanting to let go but you just can’t, when you want to be spontaneous without commitment but there’s a big part of you that won’t let that happen, feeling as if all the problems in the world are your fault

Gemini: the feeling of being okay with talking about emotions but struggling to actually feel them, the feeling of having literal chaos running through your head

Cancer: the feeling of needing people too much, trying to protect them too much, being too selfless for your own good

Leo: the negative feeling of self awareness, when something that’s wrong with you literally becoming a nightmare

Virgo: feeling desperate because chaos is driving you insane, the anxiety of not knowing how to make peace last, feeling worthless

Libra: the feeling of loneliness, not being able to cope when you’re alone, hating yourself for depending too much on people’s opinions

Scorpio: the feeling of when emotions get out of control because of the smallest things, feeling as they take over, starting to cry because they’re so overwhelming

Sagittarius: the constant need for freedom, the feeling of extreme fear of attachment, feeling caged

Capricorn: the terrifying feeling of not being in control of a situation, when things get out of hand and you can’t seem to find a solution because you’re human and you forget about that too often

Aquarius: not feeling emotions, being trapped by detachment, the feeling of not wanting to do something because it’s trendy

I made this charm as a little gift for my boyfriend to symbolize the unity of our love ❣️

Materials

·      moon water made with rose petals and 1-3 drops ylang ylang oil (side note: this works wonders as a substitute in any glamour spells that require water)

·      3 types of cord, cut to your desired length

·      charms to represent you and your partner (I used the sun and moon to represent the merging of the divine masculine and feminine, but I know not every relationship dynamic is the same! choose whatever represents both of your energies best.)

·      tape

Steps

·      Tape your 3 strands of cord side by side on a flat surface, then braid to your desired length (think about your partner as you braid to bless the charm)

·      Once you have a long enough braid, use one of the cords to split the other two, tying a knot around the split and returning the cord to one side

·      Tie your charms on each end of the split braid, cut off any excess cord

·      Remove the tape and weave the base together, tying and cutting off any excess cord

·      Now that you have your charmed braid, soak the base end in the moon water. Dab some of the water on your wrists and neck as you recite:

“May the time our souls spend bound as one

Be filled with happiness and love

And give us the courage to let go

If we realize that our time is done”

·      Kiss each of the charms, then remove the base from the water and lay it to dry

on a strip of paper write out a sigil or goal or something to enchant the locket with (luck, protection, etc.)

fold up the paper focusing on your intent and place inside the locket

holding the locket, think or say the following words:

“my wish and will goes into thee,

for me to feel and none to see,

a secret magic all my own,

that permeates all flesh and bone.“

Pierce your pointer-finger with a silver pin and write their name with your blood on a small square of paper.

State their name and their crime and then fold up the paper and place it inside the locket.

Once it’s closed, think or say the following words:

“For what you did to me and mine

You shall suffer the curse of time

In this locket you shall stay

Unable to see the light of day

In eternal darkness you shall remain

Until all you know is everlasting pain”

If you use blood to write their name you won’t need to charge the locket but it also means that the curse is for life (or until the curse has run its course so you have to seriously mean it).
