Glitter in the Dark

Vionnet 2016

Give them necklaces of amber to wear to prevent teething pain and sickness. (I swear by this. My daughter got a double ear infection when she was 5 months old and I had fully intended on giving her the antibiotics prescribed to her because as a young mom I was just doing as told. I cleansed her necklace and she wore it that night and I put a piece under her mattress and she woke up the next day totally healed and I mean TOTALLY HEALED. I wanted to give her the medicine but just felt it was unnecessary at that point. She was totally healthy. I thank the amber for it. I’m certainly not promoting risking your child’s health in place of a crystal, but I’m just mentioning my own personal experience with my daughter.)

Enchant their necklace with a charm to mind their manners.

Tell bedtime stories about beautiful witch women and handsome witch men who save the day.

Celebrate when the moonflowers and morning glories bloom.

Charge their bath water with quartz.

Elderberry tea for upset tummies!

Place quartz crystals at the four corners beneath their bed for protection and clarity.

Remember, there are some crystals that are too powerful for young children! And vice versa.  Some kids are too powerful for some crystals.  What I mean is this: I had a boss at a bar I worked at who was a shaman, and when she was pregnant with her youngest son if she carried certain crystals with her or was near them in her house, she would get very sick and he, as a developing fetus would get very worked up inside her.  He has a very powerful spirit.

Some essential oils are too dangerous for kids as well!  Peppermint, juniper, and some eucalyptus are examples.  Peppermint for instance contains menthol which, in adults, slows breathing.  In children under 10 it can STOP breathing.  

This post was more serious than my last because my other one got so much attention I wanted to point out this time there’s more that you can do as a witch for your kids than just the fun things!

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY!!
