22 and making progress

Wunmi Mosaku as Annie.

"She is a spiritualist, conjure woman, and a healer. She is a pillar and center in the community. She owns a little shop with roots, herbs, and she also cooks. She is Smoke’s other half. She is a part of him in a way that she’s his healer and his sanctuary, his place of vulnerability and openness. He can’t hide from her. Neither can she hide from him. She’s a mother and she’s someone who is deeply rooted in her traditions. She’s connected to the motherland, and she’s connected to the spiritual world—she’s a very powerful person."- Wunmi Mosaku.

I'm getting to the end of my second grimoire (prior to this I'd have random stuff in school notebooks that I unfortunately don't have anymore) so I thought it'd be fitting to talk about the stuff I benefited from copying over into my second Grimoire along with what I will most likely put into my third Grimoire.

Please Note: for my journey a Grimoire is the most fitting way for me to describe my preferred method of transcribing what I learn. As a result I will be referring to a Grimoire the whole time but this knowledge can be generally applied to other witchy books meant to hold knowledge.

To help with dictinctions:

Anything with an asterisk* indicates I regretted not including it before

Anything without is stuff I've included and benefitted from having on hand

Chakra Basics

• They are a complex and ancient energy system that originated in India.

• Chakras are the energy centers of the body.

• Some say there are 114 different chakras, but there are seven main chakras that run along your spine.

• Chakras are associated with the organs and glands of the particular region where they are located. As such, they have a strong bearing on our health, our mental state, and our relationship with others.

It's vital to observe these energy centers regularly and take time out of your busy day to improve the flow of prana to each. On a deeper level, aligning your chakras can also help you tune into your higher self and unlock divine power.

Perfect for witches, herbalists, and spiritual seekers, this list covers the magical correspondences of herbs like Acacia, Aloe Vera and Ashwagandha. These powerful allies hold deep metaphysical properties. This guide offers essential correspondences for your grimoire or apothecary. A must-have for witches, herbalists, and practitioners of the old ways.

You’re setting up for spellwork, the energy is building, and then—ugh. You go blank. What herb do you need? Do you grab Bay Leaf for protection or Basil for abundance? Now you’re digging through notes, scrolling through your phone, completely breaking the flow.

To strengthen your aura, draw admiration, and manifest a confident, magnetic presence.

You’ll need:

• Pink candle

• Mirror

• Rose oil or perfume

• Optional: rose quartz for extra charm energy

Steps:

1. Light the candle.

2. Gaze into the mirror and affirm:

“My inner power radiates outward.

All honor my confident spirit.”

3. Anoint yourself with rose oil.

4. Walk boldly. Speak sweetly. Let your aura do the rest.

Use this spell on a Friday (Venus day) during a waxing moon for best results.
