A while back I made a post about some Pagan date ideas, and I came up with a few more!

1. For a simple date night in, make each other a playlist to play during ritual/circle as you’re hanging out, eating food or watching a movie in the background. Upgrade: If they have deities they work with, see if you can tap into that energy and include a song or two that reminds you of that deity. It’s often quite fun for me to try to tap into Hellenistic energies for my wife, for example! (I work with the Irish pantheon!) 

2. Do something local that you might not think about for your deities! For example, see a local high school/community college play in honor of Dionysus, or visit a local fresh water spring for Brighid! 

3. Have a spa night together - make sugar scrubs, body butters etc and use herbs like lavender to induce peace. Pachouli lotion anyone? All genders/non-gendered folk deserve to have nice skin! 

4. Go to an antique or thrift store and try to sense the past lives of an object around you (be sure to cleanse anything if you buy it, and make sure your shields and wards are up!) 

5. Go to your local beading/gemstone shop and pick out a stone for each other to keep in your car/purse/backpack for safe travels.

6. Use your intuition to drive/walk somewhere you’ve never been before! Wherever you end up is where you’re supposed to be. Take a selfie, and make this a special spot! (Be safe, don’t go into private areas, make sure your phones are charged if you need GPS to get out of there.) 

7. Practice divination together - hold up a card so they can’t see what it is and try to take turns guessing! 

8. Pray or meditate together, either at the same time, or guide each other on a meditation, or find a recording on youtube and do it that way! 

9. Visit a local nature area and pick up some trash for local wildlife and Mama Earth. 

Pretty spiky baby.

I can't even begin to tell you how awesome I think this song is. The lyrics scream spellwork at me and I have actually used this song for that specific purpose! You can use this as a petition to your Deities, or to guides or what have you. I personally used it as a calling to the general collective of the Universe when I needed some emotional and financial support for a fundraiser I was doing. I mean the openings lyrics! Amazing.

Crashing, hit a wall

Right now I need a miracle

Hurry up now, I need a miracle

Stranded, reaching out

I call your name but you're not around

I say your name but you're not around

There are a bunch of ways that I think this song could be worked into a spell. The way I did it was to blast it as loud as I safely could in my car, all the windows rolled down, including the sun roof, my left hand dangling out of the window, palm flipped up to the sky (left if receiving) and singing at the top of my lungs, making sure to put all I had into the lyrics:

Don't let me down

Don't let me down, down, down

Don't let me down, don't let me down, down, down

The fun part is towards the end when Daya really belts out "don't let me down" THIS is the moment when I put my energy BACK into the Universe and I commanded that I was supported. 

If you want to do this in a structured ritual then I would recommend getting a stone that speaks to you of prosperity and grounding, or even a stone that opens up the heart chakra. I'd listen to the song on repeat and build up that energy a time or two and then on the third(?) go I'd try to release it on the belt-y part at the end of the song. 

Really, this song is already so well suited to witchcraft that I can't think of too much to do to dress it up - just sing, even if it's in the shower in the morning!
