Thunder and Rain

first thing in the morning—take three slow deep breaths (air/sky) more grounding than immediately checking a phone

notice your feet on the ground taking root when you stand up for the first time of the day, take a little stretch (earth/land)

wash or splash your face to get alll the way awake. then chug a big glass. (water/sea)

appreciate any trees, plants, dirt, or clouds you see

place both hands on your heart to feel your own heat and warmth. feel your heart beating. “i am alive” (fire)

wear or carry a rock, hagstone, crystal, talisman, or amulet

in times of stress or dissociation, rub your thumb in small circles on the back of your other hand to ground and soothe. (clockwise for attracting an intention, counterclockwise for banishing)

color magic with clothing

add cinnamon, lavender, or peppermint to coffee according to intention if you don’t want to drink tea

stirring tea/coffee according to intention

sometimes i pick a little affirmation for the day— “may i forgive myself” “the universe is within me/the wild is within me”

visualization—inhale a bright light and let it fill your lungs, exhaling clouds of negativity

or create a shield with breathing. with each breath, imagine a bubble forming around your body, then your aura, growing with strength.

cleansing shower at the end of the day (intending it to cleanse my aura makes me more motivated to take one, idkw)

if taking a bath, add a dash of moon water

sniff lavender essential oil before bed

For the bedridden witches who hear the call of the seas. 

Burn sea/beach scented candles.

Listen to background sounds like waves or the wind.

Make macrame strands that have glass beads or sea glass in them.

SEA. SALT. Just keep a jar of sea salt around for any of your needs and to feel connected!

Make a simple salt water spray to cleanse your space. 

Create an altar/shelf dedicated to the sea.

Keep beach and ocean themed pictures, paintings and postcards around your room. 

Make a sand garden.

Hold a glass of water on your hands, and focus on how the water is/has been connected to the ocean.

Create a sideblog for all your ocean needs. Can double as an altar!

Keep a collection of sea shells and invest in a shell field guide!

Watch ocean documentaries.

Keep crystals like opal, quartz, selenite, blue calcite, ocean jasper, and labradorite around.

Create a bottle filled with things that remind you of the ocean. Here’s mine.

Write/read poetry about the sea.

I really like using ocean waves as a way to clear my mind when I need to calm down/start meditating. Use meditation to connect to the ocean!

Hang flowing curtains from the ceiling - light turquoise and white.

Learn about the lore and mythology related around the ocean. 

Whisper sweet nothing towards the sea - it doesn’t matter how far away it is!

The moon phases directly interact with the ocean. Keep track of them!

Draw sigils designed to connect you to the ocean. 

Get a little fish tank (only if this feels manageable to you of course!) and keep it in your room.

Do seashell divination

Decorate with beach/seaside decor - rustic wood, shells, blown glass, etc.

Connect with any deities of the ocean/sea (for me that includes Amphitrite, Poseidon and Ceto).

Make/wear seashell or pearl jewelry.

Listen to music that makes you feel like you’re standing in front of the ocean.

When it’s windy or downpour rain, allow it to take you to the sea. Feel the raw energy. Open the window a crack if you can!

This is a great resource for some sea witching ideas!

I also offer Paranormal Consulting if you have encountered (or are encountering) something unexplained. I know how devastating it can be when something happened or is happening and there’s no one you can’t tell about it because they’d think you’d be crazy.
