Hi,

The way alchemy ties into my witchcraft is that I use the planetary symbols and the cosmos in my magic. Also I use the alchemical planetary hours in spells and talismans.

When I’m making potions or flying ointments I’ll sometimes consult the book the herbal alchemist handbook by keren Harrison. There’s a lot of books on the subject of herbal alchemy that can be useful in incorporating it into your witchcraft.

I also enjoy learning about and using magical symbols in my practice like with sigil making. And the alchemical subjects are often allegory and represent something else. For example the philosophers stone is enlightenment.

Happy casting!

Hi Shannon,

There aren’t any crystals involved in my curse. But I’m sure you can add some if you wanted to like quartz because it can magnify the spell.

Happy casting!

I was making up some lil jars today and after I was having a snack as usual and it got me wondering, I noticed after I do any type of casting I need to have some kind of snack after and I am really thirsty .

Does this happen to you ?

These are tranquil home ( neighbors & kids ) and mini anxiety/ happy jars for a few kiddos im concerned about .

Hi,

Im doing alright I hope you are having a nice day as well. :)

Doing witchcraft can take a lot out of you, I sometimes take a nap after a big spell. I think it’s normal to feel hungry or thirsty after casting because spell work uses energy to work. Also don’t forget to ground and center after casting to ease the fatigue and re absorb the energy that you didn’t use.

Also I love your mat it’s super pretty and your bottles are adorable ☺️

Happy casting
