Y’all know I’ve been interested in how to elevate the sex game lately. I came across sex manifestation, which in its purest form, is manifestation during sex. This is preferable because we expel a whole lot of emotional energy when orgasming, masturbating, or flat out feeling ourselves in a sexual sense, so why not use it to manifest? There are three types I’ve come across: remote seduction (used to manifest attention and/or feelings from a person), psychic masturbation (tuning into yourself by using crystals, binaural beats, etc), and tantric sex (opens up chakras and allows you to manifest/visualize a whole lot easier).

I tried remote seduction this week on my girlfriend because why the fuck not? I spent time meditating first to get into tune with myself, then laid down, shut my eyes, and imagined myself calling out to her. Took a few times, then she finally turned to me. I focused on laying everything on heavy; kinks I know she likes, areas that turn her on (i.e. her neck, thighs, titties), and making sure I heard her react positively by moaning or whatever. You’ll know it’s working when you feel yourself getting horny. Then for the remaining time, you should focus on things beyond sex, like visualizing them in a relationship with you, etc etc. Eventually wake yourself out of it and wait. I knew it worked on my girlfriend because through the day she mentioned feeling strong needs to try everything I actually tried on her in my visualizations (which I didn’t tell her about). Since, she’s been much more mushy and more in tune with sex, if that makes sense.

Psychic masturbation consists of masturbating while focusing on each chakra, turning on binaural beats, taking it slow to focus on how you feel, and everything good you want to bring into fruition. I tried it this morning after smoking an herbal blend and honestly, it was legendary. I have yet to see any results, as it was just this morning, but I have been highly intuitive today. It’s essentially creating a seduction spell for yourself, which leads to more pleasure, and more pleasure leads to better ability to manifest. You’re cultivating your own energy and building it up instead of rushing to bust a nut. You don’t have to orgasm to have a good sexual experience, as long as you’re enjoying yourself the entire time and feel satisfied.

Resources I’ve been using: damiana, maca root, fenugreek, ‘vixen’ type pheromones, lust & attraction oils

I made this little bottle for my wife at work, but I’ve decided to post it because I know finals are coming up and I think this could be helpful for those of you who are juggling your finals with the rest of your life! 

All of these things came from my kitchen spice cabinets, so nothing too crazy or difficult to find here!

I made this as something that embodied what is needed to get through the tough days. It isn’t a good luck charm, just something to bring out the best thing already in you.

Each layer is for a different piece of what makes up a good, productive day in my opinion, so here we go!

Sea salt - for protection

Cinnamon - for success & wisdom

Sage - for peace

Caraway seeds - for mental power

Basil - for confidence

Rosemary - for mental clarity

Red Pepper flakes - for energy

I find that saying my intent out loud really helps me to know that it is there, the more I say something out loud, the more I feel like it is true and real, so I focus on saying my intent for each layer out loud, over and over until I really do feel it there. I also find that saying these things out loud, and being sure of them, helps you to realize that there really IS power in your words. You have power to speak these words and really bring life to them because you are stating, whole-heartedly that this rosemary is going to bring mental clarity to your day. Don’t be afraid to spend as much time as you need to on each layer to feel like your intent is there. This helps me, personally. 

Once you’re filled up, put the cork back in, tightly. I would recommend packing these layers in tightly also, so if you care them around in your pocket, they don’t all mix together if you don’t want them to.

After, I sealed my bottle with wax (mine was vanilla scented because it is my wife’s favorite scent and it’s something that really makes her happy) - (also I will make a little post about how I seal up little bottles with wax later on!) and sat with it for quite a while, really focusing the intent into the whole bottle, and what you want for it as a whole. Like before, I sat repeating out loud until I really felt it and believed it with the knowing that my words have power!

Hello Family! I am with you today to speak about some of the songs which I listen to when I am trying to manifest. I may suggest some *Some of these songs may fall into more than one category.* Feel free to add songs!

Love, 

In an ideal world, every single one of your tumbled crystals would be neatly, individually wrapped in a little soft cloth and only brought out for use. If any of you have the time and patience (and fabric) for that, I will legitimately mail you a crystal out of sheer amazement. (I’m serious. PM me.)

It’s not an ideal world. Most of us toss all our crystals together in a box, or a drawer, or maybe a bag.

I have two suggestions for us common folk who I did not just mail a crystal. 

One: Keep your rough/faceted/otherwise polished crystals SEPARATE. I’m going to focus on tumbled stones here, so step one is to open up that crystal box or dig through your crystal bowl and take out anything that isn’t tumbled or otherwise smoothed/rounded (spheres, for example, can stay with your tumbled crystals). You don’t want any sharp edges in there.

Two: Split your tumbled crystals into at least two groups, and store them that way. Maybe it means you need another box or another bag. Maybe you fold up a piece of paper towel and use it as a divider in your box or drawer. Whatever you do is fine - but these groups shouldn’t touch each other in storage.

How should I divide my crystals?

To maintain that gorgeous glossy shine that most of your tumbled crystals have, they should be divided into groups based on hardness. That way, they won’t abrade each other as quickly as they would if they were all mixed together. I recommend keeping the first two categories separated from the last two, but if possible, separating all four categories is best!

Hard Crystals Crystals I’m considering “hard” are anything harder than quartz (7). These are the ones we don’t need to worry about. Hard crystals will, however, easily damage your softer crystals. 

Hard crystals you might have in your tumbled collection include:

Corundum (ruby and sapphire)

Beryl (emerald, aquamarine, morganite, heliodor, goshenite, etc)

Chrysoberyl (including alexandrite)

Garnet (any type)

Phenakite

Spinel

Topaz

Quartz-ish Crystals These guys probably make up the bulk of your collection. They’re crystals that fall around the range of quartz on the Mohs scale (6.5-7.5). These can pretty safely be grouped with your hard crystals - keep in mind, though, anything softer than a 7 can be scratched by dust particles in the air, so gemologically they’re considered “soft”.

The quartz family makes up the bulk of this category, and includes:

Rock crystal/clear quartz/herkimer diamond

Amethyst

Citrine

Praseolite

Ametrine

Anything with “quartz” in the name

Chalcedony

Onyx (not onyx marble!), sardonyx

Agate

Jasper

Quartzite (occasionally called azeztulite)

Chrysoprase

Carnelian, sard

Aventurine

Bloodstone

Tiger’s eye, hawk’s eye, etc.

Pietersite

But that’s not all! Other stones that fall in this hardness range are:

Iolite

Tourmaline

Andalusite (including chiastolite)

Cinnabar (because it’s usually included in quartz)

Danburite

Idocrase/vesuvianite

Jadeite

Spodumene (kunzite, hiddenite, also sometimes called triphane)

Kyanite (directional hardness)

Lapis lazuli (actually much softer, but may have hard areas)

Peridot/olivine

Epidote (unakite)

Feldspar-ish Crystals These fall into the range of the feldspar family - Mohs 5.5-6.5. They’re definitely soft, but will be the “hard” crystals in your soft crystal box, so be careful!

In the feldspar family, we have:

Amazonite

Labradorite (including spectrolite, yellow labradorite, etc)

Moonstone (orthoclase and labradorite)

Sunstone (any type)

Bytownite, andesine, albite, and other feldspars

In addition to the feldspars, there are lots of stones that fall into this hardness range:

Zoisite (ruby-in-zoisite, tanzanite, thulite, anyolite, etc)

Charoite

Hematite

Nephrite (most jade)

Serpentine (including atlantasite, healerite, new jade, etc)

Obsidian and natural glass (tektite, desert glass, etc)

Manmade glass (electric blue obsidian, opalite, etc)

Opal

Petalite

Prehnite

Rhodonite

Sodalite (including hackmanite)

Sugilite

Turquoise

Soft Crystals Soft crystals are delicate. They’re rarely set in jewelry, and you have to be super careful handling them. They can easily be damaged by harder crystals and each other.

Soft tumbled crystals you might have in your collection are:

Amber

Angelite, anhydrite

Apatite

Apophyllite

Aragonite (including mother-of-pearl, shell, pearls)

Azurite, malachite, or a combination

Calcite

Celestine

Chlorite (when not included in quartz), seraphinite

Chrysocolla

Dioptase

Fluorite

Mica (fuchsite, muscovite, lepidolite)

Howlite and magnesite

Jet

Pectolite (larimar)

Rhodochrosite

Selenite (or any kind of gypsum)

Shattuckite

Ulexite

Variscite

I like to sort my crystals into two bowls with “hard” and “quartz-ish” crystals in one, and “soft” and “feldspar-ish” crystals in the other. Rocks and unknown crystals go in the “hard” bowl, but if they appear heavily abraded (dull, pitted surface), they might get transferred to the “soft” bowl. 

Also, this is by no means an exhaustive list - if you have a crystal that isn’t here, Google its hardness and put it into the most fitting category!

If you see someone selling off a mineral under the trade name Chrysotile,Crocidolite, Tremolite, Actinolite, Anthophyllite, Amosite  or quartz with asbestos inclusion please don’t risk your health by buying it. It doesn’t matter what the company may claim, all forms of asbestos are equally harmful and can cause lung cancer. 

Do you ever feel like you have to wait to be in just the right state to do magic?

Maybe you’ve been told you shouldn’t do magic when you’re sick.

Or maybe you’ve just found that spells tend to flop when you’re tired or sad.

THE PROBLEM IS, FOR MANY OF US THIS CAN MAKE UP THE MAJORITY OF OUR LIVES!

From illnesses to working multiple jobs, raising kids or mental health struggles, life is messy and you just can’t maintain that optimal magic working state all the time.

This can be SO FRUSTRATING but today I’ve got a solution for you!

Now, sadly I can’t fix the parts of your life that drain you or wear you down. As much as I would love to have the ultimate answer to how to have that pinterest perfect life I am in the same boat as everyone else.

What I can do is show you how to work magic anyway.

You have to stop relying on your own energy. I know it sounds a little nuts, energy is literally what magic runs on and now I want you to just remove it from the equation?! What?

I promise I haven’t lost it and YES, that’s exactly what I want! Or at least I want you to make energy way less of a key player in your magic.

I want you to never have to worry about whether or not you have enough energy to work magic ever again.

This is all explained in detail, including energy work and getting past all of the things that are stopping your from practicing your craft, in my new program Old World Witchcraft.

You achieve this by using other sources of energy to fuel your work.

Pulling energy from other sources is a way to fuel spells when you’re low on energy yourself or you’re working on something very big that needs more than you can safely offer.

Basically what you’re doing is finding an alternative source of energy and channeling the energy you take from it into your work in much the same way you would channel your own energy into it. Instead of being the source of energy in this case you’re simply a conduit, connecting power source to magic and allowing the entire framework to run without needing your input, only your direction.

The first step in this process is finding a good source.

This source can be anything;

Plants

Animals

Crystals

People

The earth

The moon

etc.

It’s important to take into consideration that if you’re pulling from a living source you must ask permission first. It’s usually easiest to choose a source that you’re comfortable with, if you don’t work with plants much using plant energy in your magic is going to feel clunky and unwieldy, stick to what’s familiar.

Once you’ve found a source it’s time to connect your energy to it. If you’ve ever grounded and connected your energy to the earth it’s much the same. Take a deep breath, close your eyes and feel for the energy of your source. Visualize your energy and the sources energy connecting and mingling together.

Begin gently pulling the energy from your source into yourself, it might feel a little odd to do this so be careful during this process. Often pulling too much energy into yourself can cause some unpleasant symptoms such as lightheadedness, nausea, and giddiness. For this reason I suggest you have whatever you’re channeling the energy into at the ready so you can immediately pass the energy from the source, through yourself and into your spell.

You do NOT want to use yourself as a holding bay for that energy any more than you absolutely must.

It can take a bit of practice to get this technique down well enough to be used in spell work. I would suggest starting with training exercises to get comfortable before trying to use it for any big spell work.

As an example, you could try pulling energy from a plant or the earth and passing it into a stone or crystal and then back again. As you get more comfortable you can work up to transferring different energies and in greater quantities.

This technique can be used in a variety of ways, obviously, as I suggested, it’s good for adding a little extra power to your spells but it could also be used to store energy for later spells in crystals or tools. You could use it to heal yourself by channeling the energy into your own body where there are deficiencies causing pain or illness. You could even do this in reverse to deactivate a spell (it’s suggested that you not deactivate a spell by channeling into a living being, the earth is best in this case).

It’s always a good idea to thank whatever has leant its energy to you, fertilizing or watering a plant, cleansing a crystal, picking up litter for the earth, whatever you can manage to show your thanks and be respectful.

After using this technique it is always advised to finish by grounding yourself. Moving large amounts of energy can pull your own energy out of balance leaving you with too much or too little or even leaving residue of whatever you were moving stuck to your own energy. Plugging into the earth and allowing your energy to equalize and come back to a balanced state will prevent any negative side effects.

Do you have a better grasp on how to outsource your energy needs? I’d love to hear about it in the comments!
