#beginner witch tips

I’m trying to post on my witchy Instagram again, under this same name. For this little reel, I wrote down some stuff in the caption that I wish I could have been told outright as a beginner witchy lady.

i let my coffee brew & sit on a tarot card surrounded by corresponding crystals. i’m a huge tarot magic fan, so this an easy way to take a simple coffee/tea spell a step further 💫

What do the colours mean to you?

Why do those colours mean those certain things? Is it based off culture, your family, personal experience, the world around you, is it your favourite colour so it brings you joy rather than the negative correspondence it has been assigned? Or is it just your intuition or what you feel is right?

What is a pendulum, anyway? At its most basic, a pendulum is a tool used for divination—a small object (typically a gemstone, crystal, or metal) suspended from a chain or cord that swings freely. It’s simple, elegant, and surprisingly powerful. You can use it to receive yes/no answers to questions, check energetic alignment, or even aid in Reiki and energy healing by detecting imbalances in the…

Right, let’s talk fire. Not the “burn the house down” kind, obviously — we’re keeping things safe and sparkly. I’m talking about candle magic. The flickering flame, the subtle scent, the slow burn of intention — it’s one of the easiest ways to dip your toes into witchcraft without needing a cauldron, ancient scrolls, or a bank-breaking trip to the crystal shop. If you’ve ever lit a candle and…

I’ve been off social media and Etsy for a while now after having my daughter, so I hope to see you all soon!!

This is something I created with the help of my mutual @coquette-lunalovemystique as a non-appropriative alternative to "modern" egg cleansing

For those you who do not understand why "modern" egg cleansing" is appropriative: It is true that various cultures throughout history have used eggs for cleansing and divination, including in Europe. However, "modern" egg cleansing does not have roots in any European practices. Instead, it is appropriation of limpia con huevo, which comes from curanderismo — an initiatory Latin American traditional medicinal practice — and is believed to have ultimately originated from Indigenous peoples and/or enslaved Africans in what is now Mexico. Furthermore, not only is curanderismo initiatory (and no, contrary to what wannabe "shamans" claim, you cannot become a curandero by taking a 12-weeks $4,000 online course), it is still ridiculed, demonized, and even criminalized* in the US

"Divineggtion" is a method of egg cleansing, which while similar to and inspired by limpia con huevo, is not straight up cultural appropriation. The major difference between "divineggtion" and the appropriative "modern" egg cleansing is that "divineggtion" does not involve rubbing the egg on oneself or reading the whites or yolk

How to perform "divineggtion":

What you will need:

An egg

Somewhere to dispose of the whites and yolk. "Divineggtion" does not involve reading the whites or yolk

Steps:

1) Grab the egg and hold it in your hand(s) and visualize it absorbing all negativities from you. Do not rub it on yourself

2) After the egg has become "heavy" with whatever negativities is absorbed from you, crack the egg open and immediately dispose of the whites and yolk. How you dispose of them is up to you, but I'd recommend against eating them

3) Read the shell. Now this part we haven't quite worked out yet. However, one idea is to interpret crack patterns:

4: Dispose of the eggshell. Follow up with either a second cleansing (if needed) or protective measures

And that's how you perform "divineggtion!"

Another non-appropriative alternative to limpia con huevo is this:

I call it "egg showering"
