Beginning Witch

•All Sense of Wealth•

I made this little spell for the literal sense of being surrounded by all definitions of wealth from physical healing to financial gain.

•Cinnamon - success, wisdom, and money gain

•Rosemary - mental clarity

•Lavender - to calm the mind and ease stress

•All Spice - protection and healing

•Blood Root - love, protection and healthy marriage

•Rose - self love and acceptance

•Clove - enhancements and money gain

•Red Pepper - to reinvigorate energy

•Bayleafs (written on with intentions) - success and psychic enhancement

🌞 Here are a few ways of connecting with the elements that I have always found useful!

Fire:

Fire Sigil

Take a walk on a sunny day. Notice the warmth of the sun on your back and the light that filters through closed eyelids. Drink in the light.

Turn off the lights. Spend the evening in candlelight, or sat by the fireplace.

Honour your inner dragon and eat spicy food, visualising the heat of your breath is fire as you exhale.

Take the initiative. Finish neglected projects with fiery ambition, feel the spark in your veins as you burn through what weighs you down.

Observe how fire takes on more forms than you think. Do you feel the raw electricity in your TV? Is it too much to bare sometimes? Can the light of life in a newborn’s eyes be considered fire?

Air

Air Sigil

Imagine that the next breath you take will be the first of your life. As you exhale, think it is your last. How does it make you feel?

Indulge your creativity. Read, write, create. Be a force of inspiration and let your thoughts wander.

Move your arms back and forth as if you could move the air with the power of your will. Feel the cool sensation of the movement on the palm of your hands and visualise sculpting a ball of air.

Take a walk on a windy day. Note the movements of the wind, how it changes everything around you and carries energy and fragrance through empty space. Listen between the whistling and the soft turn of the leaves to see if you can hear something more.

Water

Water Sigil

Go to a beach. Feel the pull and push of the tide. Mimic it with your movement; pull your arms inwards and push them out again along to the rhythm. Sync yourself with the rise and fall of the energy.

Take a moment to still yourself. Close your eyes. Place a finger on a spot where you can feel your pulse. Feel the throb of your heartbeat and the blood pumping through your veins. How does it feel to know that you carry rivers inside you?

Let your emotions spiral. No holding back. Learn how our feelings can have both positive and detrimental effects and realise that water can not only wash away problems but can also be a destructive force itself.

Take a shower and feel the water wash away everything you have ever thought or become.Be cleansed and remake yourself every single day.  Take a step backwards in your mind to a time where everything was dark and all you knew was the feeling of being surrounded by warm water. You have been a part of it since you were in the womb.

Earth

Earth Sigil

Lie down. Let the energy you hold within yourself and the energy of the earth touch, overlap, consume each other. Lose yourself for a couple of moments and forget where you begin and the ground ends.

Be a stable, reliable force. A shoulder to cry on. The friend of the group that feels like a parent in the best possible way. Find a sense of calmness within yourself and hold it firmly, not letting the positive or negative influence your tranquility. Be neutral in the face of bias but swift and forceful when the time for justice comes.

Think of a tree. Think of the roots that go far beneath the ground, holding it in place. Think of the years and years the tree has remained and endured despite everything. Realise that you can do the same.

Wake up before everyone else and observe how the world is different when everything is still.

A cool way to travel safe and carry your altar!

i am a green witch that pays for my medical bills by writing and illustrating little witchcraft books! this is my second book, called cottagecraft; it is a lovingly curated book of original spells, recipes, and herbal wisdom to make your home a cozy, welcoming and positive environment. it has 24 pages, every single one with illustrations, with a little section in the back to write down notes and scribbles.

i recently had an ovarian cyst surgery that debilitated me for three weeks, putting me out of work; i spent my recovery time doing all these illustrations.

Another gift of nature and an important factor to consider when initiating a spell is the direction in which to face. Compass directions north, south, east, and west are very significant when casting a spell. By facing the proper direction, you are utilizing the vibration or energy that it offers. The powers of the four directions are a free gift of nature that is often overlooked.

North

North corresponds to the element of earth. Face north for health issues, healing of the body, spirituality, increasing or developing your intuition, using some type of divination, for transcending the physical and trying to communicate with someone telepathically, and in asking for guidance from whomever or whatever you call your higher power. This is the most powerful direction

South

South corresponds to the element of fire. Face south for love issues, relationships of any kind, creative and artistic pursuits, anything of a romantic or emotional nature.

East

East corresponds to the element of air. Face east for career issues, strength, clarity, new business opportunities, financial matters and any endeavor requiring extra energy, healing of the mind, new beginnings.

West

West corresponds to the element of water.  Face west for letting go and moving on, increasing self-esteem, forgiving yourself or someone else, cleansing, unconditional love.

In traditional English witchcraft a Whitch’s Whisk was set alight and blown out to smoke, just like a sage wand. The whisk is then used to “dance and weave” around the outside of your circle. The intent was to make a boundary for sacred space. The dried blackberry stems are cut and bound together at one end with traditionally red twine for power and protection but you can use any color twine to represent what you need it too. Sometimes the end bound is also covered in a matching colored wax for extra for intent.

The smoke of the whisk was used to exorcise evil entities and negativity, cleanse and consecrate a space, ward off misfortune and banish illnesses from the house and its inhabitants.

A chant which is traditionally associated with blackberries is the following. Chant it three times, knowing that you are invoking the energy of Brigid, the Goddess of Fire, healing and protection along with other things. The same chant is used for healing purposes.

What does it mean when two people complete eachother spiritually?

Well it may differ from what they spiritually are and maybe even mean to eachoter, there are many ways two or more souls can spiritually be connected and fullfilling eachoter.

There can be created a bond between two people even after their souls were born and they have deliberately chosen to do it even.

I made a list of the most known spiritual or spirit connections one or more can have with. Remember that these kinds of bonds can happen between humans, between a human and any kind of spirit or deity, and so forth. Hope you enjoy!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Soulmates:

1. Platonic Soulmate: Platonic soulmates are the most simple type of connection that two soul scan have. You can share with a platonic soulmate more than one life or even every life or just one, still tho, they will bet he best of friends and with them you may expect awesome aventures together! Sometimes people confuse a platonic soulmate with a romantic soulmate.

2. Past Life Soulmate: A past life soulmate is usually also part of our soul family. We have met them in another life and almost instantly recognize that. They usually come to us to remind us about something that you forgot about your own soul and they also bring information (usually about the past lifes you shared) to deepen your spirituality.

3. Karmic Soulmates: Karmic soulmates are usually coming to you to resolve unsettled buisness between you two or because there is an unlearned lesson, and for you to continue your path and become stronger and resolve the karmic imbalance, they present to you conflicts and challenges.

4. Healing/Teacher Soulmate: Healing soulmates usually come to us after a karmic relationship ends. Or after a difficoult period in your life. They can come in the form of a friend, a parent, a teacher, a lover, or even a stranger. They offer you comfort and help you back on your path. Healing soulmates are usually temporary as they mostly exist in our lives for a specific issues, however, some healing soulmates may stay for a longer period of time.

5. New Soulmate: Not all soulmates you meet will be someone that you knew from a past life and so is the new soulmate, someone we never had contact with and wasn’t originally part of your Soul Contract. Usually they come to you when you have completed all your karmic trials, when an important part of your journey is going to manifest, or when (for whatever reason) you reject your romantic soulmate or twinflame partner.

6. Romantic Soulmate:  Your romantic soulmate is the person that your higher self decided to unite with. Of course, you can always stray from your soul contract but most people choose not to. The romantic soulmate will give you very much much joy, happiness, emotional dept and love. They’re the person you’re likely to marry and will help to move you along your path with an open heart. When we unite with a companion soulmate, we experience unconditional love and bliss. Every relationship will still have it’s problems but you’ll be able to work through these things in harmony. The romantic soulmate may be a new soulmate or someone you’ve already had connection with in other lifes. You can have more than one romantic soulmate.

Twin Flame:

A Twin flame relationship happens (to make it short) when a single soul/conciousness splits itself in one or more smaller individual parts and they find eachother. Not everyone has a twin flame in this lifetime or a twin flame at all. It’s still possible to be whole without your twin flame but, when you two come together, it creates something incredibly powerful. 

Soul Family: 

Members of a Soul Family all come from the same branch of conciousness and have similar paths and missions and their souls have been created at the same time, in the same dimention or planet. They have similar beliefs, interests, vibrational energies and soul missions as you do. Some soul family groups can 10 people in it or 10.000, it really depends.

Spirit Spouse/Lover: 

A spirit spouse is a spirit (usually deities, gods and godesses, altho it can range from faeries to ghosts to angles or demons etc.) who courts you and later on marries you or creates a marital-like bond with you. A relationship with a spiritual spouse can range from only a flirtatious relationship to only a sexual relationship to a loving relationship or loving marriage. A spirit spouse can be a soulmate (mostly romantic) who has not incarnated with you and decided to stay at your side on the spiritual plane. An important thing to remember is that spirit spouse relationship is not any different from how humans have a relationship. You can have more than one spiritual spouse (if, of course, your first spirit spouse agrees).

I may update this list in the future.

Stovetop Incense, sometimes called stovetop potpourri outside of magic circles, is a mixture of ingredients with a liquid base, simmered on the stove in a pan to fill the air with a lovely aroma.

This morning I woke up to a tight feeling in my throat.  A feeling that I know very well and it means that there is a tonsillitis on its way. I’m not too worried though. That’s just my body’s way to let me know it’s in need of a little break. So, first thing to do is trying to stop that illness from taking over my body and, of course, I’m doing this by making myself some tea.

Here’s the most effective tea blend to fight that angina pectoris:

A good amount of dried elderflowers. It strengthens your immune system and is very good medicine for any type of cold with or without fever. The elder tree has been used as the go to medicine for any illness in the ancient times and it was said that “an elder tree in the garden replaces an entire apothecary”.

Dried sage. This might be the most important ingredient. Sage is said to have strong healing powers, just like the elderflowers. In my opinion it’s even stronger though. Another idiom said: “Why should a man die when he has sage in his garden.”

Dried Rosemary. I included a bit of it since it has tons and tons of healing benefits. It is a natural painkiller, has antibacterial, antiseptic and antiviral properties and it’s a great immune system booster as well. It tastes pretty strong though, so I usually only include a bit of it.

To add some nice taste to the blend I simply added two bags of a lemon tea that I enjoy drinking. (Elderflowers are great, but I don’t like the taste too much…)

Now you obviously pour some boiling water on top of it and let it sit for about 10 minutes. Usually I keep the blend in the water and use a strainer to keep the leaves from falling into my mug, but if you feel like it, you can try to remove the herbs of course.

DISCLAIMER: Obviously, this tea blend can not replace an actual treatment. If the pain doesn’t disappear after one or two days, please go to a doctor.

Enjoy your tea, witches. xx
