✨ taurus – you may be spending a lot of time looking at what you’ve lost rather than what you have. it’s okay to think about the past but if you keep focusing on what you don’t have, that’s what energy the universe will bring into your life. make peace, and let things go so you can grow.

✨ gemini – there are energies of an opportunity that is going to be manifesting in your life soon. try to spend this time making decisions from your higher self in order to bring you the greatest outcome. know what you want, but don’t be so set in stone that you don’t allow an unconventional opportunity to appear.

✨ cancer – this is a month of planning towards what you want to achieve this year. you will be heavily focused on the future this month. use the knowledge you’ve gained to help you build the roadmap towards what you would like your life look like going forward.

✨ sagittarius – you have so many options right now it might feel slightly overwhelming to the point where you’re ignoring them all altogether. it’s okay to be scared of something new, but this month is the time to take a leap of faith and trust that your heart will guide you towards your most beneficial opportunities.

✨ capricorn – this month try to focus on yourself and being present in the moment so you can acknowledge when you’re acting out of ego rather than from your higher self. although it can be easy to feel smug and even judgemental, those are low vibrational energies that you need to work on releasing so you can set the tone for a positive year.

I’ve been meaning to make this post so get your pencil, BoS, and get ready to learn cause this gonna be a long one! This is very important for any beginner witch to learn if you intend to celebrate the holidays Wheel of The Year This is the turning of the seasons based on the sun rather than the moon. There are eight holidays or Sabbats that are traditionally recognized. These sabbats represents birth, death, and rebirth, and are usually associated with The Lord/God but nothing is preventing you from honoring The Lady/Goddess or your own deities as well!

When it comes to celebrating these holidays, there is no set defined way to do it. Do whatever feels natural and fits into your practice best. Here’s some more traditional information though to get you going in a good direction. And when it comes to the decor, decorate however you see fit and don’t feel obligated to use real plants because faux flowers are just a good.

Yule About: Yule lands on the days of 20-21 December, and is traditionally celebrated with fire and family. In some traditions this is the time when the death aspect of The Lord/God is overtaken by by the rebirth aspect (sometimes referred to as the Divine Child.) This is the holiday where many of our christmas traditions come from and are based on, so this is a relatively easy holiday to celebrate! Colors: Red and Green Incense: Frankincense, Myrrh Decor options: Holly, Mistletoe, Ivy, Pine/Pinecones Herbs: Bayberry, Chamomile, Rosemary, Sage Traditions: Yule Log, this is a log to be decorated and burned at the end of the holiday. Instead of cutting down a tree, find an old log that’s been laying in the woods and take it home with you! It doesn’t have to be very big. When the holiday is over, you can dispose of this log however you feel fit, but make sure to keep a piece of the log for the new year as a good luck and protection charm! Yule Tree, essentially just a christmas tree! Traditionally this tree is real, but a faux tree works just as well.

Imbolc/Candlemas About: This is actually a holiday that most seem to ignore or forget about, but it’s just as important as the rest! Celebrated on the days of 1-2 February, this is typically a holiday to celebrate The Lady/Goddess in all her forms, Maiden, Matron, and Crone. This is the holiday to banish the winter season and welcome in spring. Imbolc is a good time to delve into fertility magick if that’s something you’re interesting in. Colors: White, Light Blue, Lavender, Silver Incense: Lavender, Vanilla, and any floral scents. Decor options: Flowers, and Angelica Herbs: Basil, Bay Traditions: Burning Lavender or White candles, and the best way to celebrate this holiday is spring cleaning! Clean the house, rearrange things, make a new altar set up, and take a nice warm bath to cleanse yourself. This is the time for you to be reborn into something new.

Ostara About: Falling on the days of 20-21 March, this is a holiday that represents the warrior aspect of The Lord/God, and it’s also the Spring Equinox. This is a holiday of balance, and fertility. Colors: Any Pastels Incense: Jasmine, Rose Decor Options: Wild Flowers, Acorns, Daffodils, Honeysuckle, Lily Herbs: Jasmine, Rose, Tansy, Violet Traditions: This is the best time to buy (or even make) yourself a new broom, or go out into nature to find a staff. Now is also a really good time to start a garden if that interests you.

Beltane About: This holiday falls on 5 May and is the last of the spring and fertility festivals. This is when The Lord/God and The Lady/Goddess join together to become whole, making this a good time for any workings in love or family. Colors: Dark Green, Light Blue, Lavender, Pink, Yellow, and White Incense: Frankincense Decor Options: Angelica, Bluebells, Daisies, Ivy, Rose Herbs: Almond, Angelica, Rose Traditions: The Maypole, a tall pole decorated with flowers or ribbons that is danced around during the festival. This is a little less likely for people to do (though i have a friend who does), so an easier way to celebrate this holiday is to make your space green, flowery and inviting!

Midsummer Night/Litha About:This is the summer solstice, and is usually celebrated on the days 20-21 of June. This holiday is a very powerful one and represents The Lord/God in his entirety. During this holiday, people celebrate success, drive, and passion. Colors: Dark Blue, Red, Orange, Yellow, Gold Incense: Lavender, Sandalwood Decor Options: Fruits, Pines, Roses (feel free to use a bowl of fake fruit!) Herbs: Chamomile, Lavender, Fennel, Thyme, Hemp Traditions: This is the best time to do magick dealing with business or financial affairs. But being that this is the summer solstice, honestly any spell will be exceptionally powerful so save your big ritual of the year for this day! Lammas/ Lughnassadh About: The first of the harvest holidays, this is usually when the prep for winter begins and the fall seasons really takes off. Colors: Yellow, Cream, Brown Incense: Frankincense, Sandalwood Decor: Grain, Corn, and Fallen Leaves Herbs: Heather, Wheat Traditions: If you have a garden, this is a good day to check and harvest what foods are ready. It’s also tradition to start stocking you magickal pantry for the cold months to come. Stock up while resources are a plenty. And one last tradition is the baking of bread, a good time to have some fun in the kitchen and get crafty.

Mabon About: This is the Autumn Equinox and the time when harvesting really gets going. This holiday is on the days 20-21 of September, meaning if you live in a more rural area you’ll start seeing the farmers out and about and the leaves have really started changing and falling. The year is close to its end! Colors: Red, Orange, Brown Incense: Myrrh, Pine, Sage Decor Options: Fallen Leaves, Vines, Acorns, Corn Herbs: Marigold, Sage, Rose Traditions: Collect, press, and save fallen leaves to use in protection spells!

Samhain About: Ahh, the witches favorite holiday and the holiday that signals a new solar year! This holiday falls on the same day as Halloween, 31 October. This is a time to celebrate, honor, and communicate with passed loved ones. This is another very powerful day in the craft, so save any big spells or rituals for this day! Colors: Orange, Green, Black, Purple Incense: Patchouli, Myrrh Decor Options: Pumpkings/Jack-O-Lanterns, Corn, Gourds, Leaves Herbs: Heather, Sage Traditions: Alot of the tradtions we have with Halloween actually have their origins based in the craft so feel free to celebrate normally! If you’re looking to communicate with the dead, this would be the night to do it (but be careful, spirits have heightened strength and negative entities/energies like to take advantage of those who are inexperienced.) And of course, if you have a big ritual or spell that you want to cast, this is a really good day to do so.

Here is what I usually suggest and what I consider to be basic/beginning crystals (but feel free to start with whatever calls to you!)

I made this to relax before bed and bring in sweet dreams and happiness the next day. This is good after a stressful day or when you want a good nights sleep.

What you need

-3 chamomile tea bags - relaxing, peace, happiness

-water (I used normal water but you can use rain or moon water for more of an effect)

-milk

-honey - to sweeten your dreams

-cinnamon - to bring happiness into the next day and to remind you that the sun always rises the next day

Steps

I. Fill a mug ¼ full of water and pour it into a pot. Put the chamomile tea bags in and simmer the pot to let them seep

II. Let the tea get really strong. Maybe simmer it for about 10 minutes

III. Fill the mug about ¾ full of milk and pour it into the tea. Make sure to leave the tea bags in.

IV. Add in honey and stir until devolved. Once your milk tea is warm, pour it into the mug and sprinkle cinnamon one top

V. Hold the mug in your hand and change it with calm and happy energy

Celebrate on the correct days!: Yule is a solstice sabbat, which means it’s on the day before, of, and after the winter solstice*. It’s NOT December 25th.

Hang all kinds of evergreens everywhere: Do you know why? Because while snow is very pretty at first after a while the never ending blinding white and brown and black starts to drive you slowly insane. Holly and Mistletoe are the two brightest green plants you could get your hands on during winter so of course they were everywhere!

Light a massive bonfire**: It’s dark and cold and everyone is miserable. Burn some shit! If you aren’t a heathen then Yule is about the rebirth of the sun god(dess?). Welcome that guy back with the best sun imitation you could get!

Leave feed out for Odin’s Horse: Kids would leave out hay or treats for Odin’s Horse(Sleipnir) to eat while he road in the wild hunt. A gift given means a gift must be returned and so Odin(also known as the parents) would leave treats for the kids. Yes this is where Santa came from.

Make winter clothes: Winter was the time when all the housework was done because, well, you can’t plant when the field is under five feet of snow. Clothes were often made during this time and given to the family.

Welcome guests into your home: If there was one thing the Germanic people valued it was hospitality. Friend who has no were to go? Come on over! Your kid’s friend who comes from a tricky home? Why don’t they stay a night or two. Everyone is invited!

Anything that still has Yule in the name probably comes from the original:  Yule log, Yule boar, Yule goat. These are all from the original feast day. 

Yule is a feast to celebrate the wild hunt: So make a feast!

And finally, throw one hell of a party***: Yule is a Norse holiday guys. There was no such thing as a low-key party in that culture. The majority of their myths can be summed up thusly; partying, beating up someone who ruined the partying, partying because they beat someone up. Have fun!

*These are the days I do it because celebrating for 12 days - 2 months is impractical.

**Don’t be dumb with fire.

***Don’t do anything illegal.

Here I am, trying to explain some things I didn’t really understand myself before. Hope this will come helpful.

THE LAW OF ATTRACTION

Now that I looked into it, i understand it at least a bit. I’ll try to explain it to you.

The Law of Attraction is the ability to attract into our lives whatever we are focusing on. The Law of Attraction is the thing, that materializes our thoughts into reality. All thoughts turn into things eventually. Etc. If you focus on the negativity, and bad things you will keep on feeling sad. But if you focus on the good parts of the life, become ambitious of what you want to achieve, and you believe in yourself, at the end, you can do it. It is like witchcraft- witchcraft is basically a big law of attraction. See, you light a candle, etc. red for love, with the intention of attracting love into your life. If you write a spell or if you just say your intention with the most powerful words you can find, you are great to go. It is basically speaking or writing down your intentions, being clear with them and they are send into the universe like a bunch of vibrations. Yet somehow, they come back and they manifest, so you reacieve the love you were looking for! Not a lot of people understand it fully, but, if it works, there is no need to really bother. 

so, you basically attract whatever you think about. 

MANIFESTING

if you are new to withcraft, you might be already confused. So here I am again, trying to explain it all to you.

Manifestation is basically the result of the Law of attraction. Etc. You send out vibrations with the intention “i attract money and wealth” and manifesting is basically you getting what you let out, so you recieve more money.

Manifestation works alongside the Law of Attraction, a universal rule which is that thoughts can become things.(as i explained above).

You have done a spell, and it doesn’t work. Remember the law of attraction? You have used that just now to make the spell. And you are using it maybe even right now, unconciously. It works like this- if you keep on worrying about your magic, doubting the spell and thinking that it won’t work, it won’t. Try focusing on what you love and on what makes you feel good and happy and alive. Soon you’ll be attracting more of THAT. Manifestation is a magickal way of getting what you want, and the easiest and most powerful way to do that is to feel it. You can also use visualization to aid in manifesting. What I also do, is that i forget. I just forget when I did a spell and let it work for itself. The only thing i tell myslef when i think about it is “It is going to work, my magick works.” 

A quick spell to get rid of anything what is blocking you away from manifesting:

You will need a piece of paper, pen, a candle (or just matches).

Center yourself. Take a few deep breaths and focus on what you are doing right now. You can  burn some herbs or an incense to get rid of unwanted energies that are trying to interrupt your spell. Ground yourself by keeping your fett on the floor, imagining roots coming into the ground from you.

The first step to manifesting is to let go. So think of what’s holding you back from what you want. Whether it’s an unhealthy relationship, self-doubt, or money troubles, focus on what it is that you want to release. Write down what you want to let go of at the top of a piece of paper, focusing the energy and feelings you have as you write. Be intentional. You can write something like “I am done living in a place of fear” or “I release any self-doubt I may have” or “I am done living from a place of scarcity.” Again, this should feel right to you.

Now, burn it. Either put it in a fireproof bowl, fireplace or burn it by a candle, imagine the fire sending your intentions to the universe. Do it as many times as you like, until you know that it works and you have no doubt. Now ground yourself again.

Oof. This was hella long. I hope you understood at least a bit. 

WHAT ARE ALL OF THOSE HERBS, CRYSTALS AND CANDLES FOR?

If you are a beginner witch, you might be wondering: Do I need all of this? Mugwort for this and that, incense, candles and a lots of shiny crystals? Why do all of the witches use these? What are they good for? 

First, no, you don’t need any of these. All you need is yourself and a clear intention to work your magic. A lot of witches burn candles while doing spells. Why? Because candle magic is really simple, all you need is a candle and matches.  “ Candle magick is a kind of alchemy, where all elements are represented — fire of the flame, air to feed it, melted wax for water, and solid wax for earth” so the candles empower your intention. You can also choose a colour of the wax, essential oil, herbs or carve a sigil into them. Candle magic is really great way to start.

All of those herbs, witchy tools, colorful candles are here to only strenghten your intention with their own energy. When you look at a rose, you might start thinking about romance, love, peace… these are the magickal properties of a rose. See, every item gives off an energy. You can keep your magic as simple as with only yourself and your intention, or you can add in various crystals or herbs only to strenghten it, But why herbs? How do you use them while just saying out your intention? You can burn them (pls be careful when doing so) if you are doing a spell for focus or memory, try burning some rosemary in a fireproof bowl, or lighting a rosemary incense. You can also add crystals around yourself while casting a spell to empower it with their energy. So if you are casting a money spell, try surrounding yourself with citrine, aventurine, anything golden, tigers eye… or of course, just some programmed clear quartz will do. 

Both of crystals and herbs can be incorporated in witchbottles also. And jars are simply for storing these herbs.

If you are a beginner witch, there is no need to go off and buy tons of crystals like i did and go broke (like i did). A clear quartz is a substitute crystal for any you would need. As well as is rosemary for any other herb/plant, and aswell as is the color white for any other color of candles. And of course, you can find tons of herbs and spices in your own kitchen cabinet already. Cinnamon, nutmeg, thyme, rosemary, basil… these might already be in there. 

AS ABOVE, SO BELOW

you might have seen this quote or rather a saying somewhere before. I did a longer research on it, there is not much of  a content out there.

(I will update this in a while, pls wait) 

WHAT THE HECK IS BINDING MAGIC?

if i had to tell you right now, i wouldn’t know myself. Here i am to research it and give you some information!

A magical binding is simply a spell or working that restrains someone , preventing them from doing something. It is often used to keep the individual from causing harm to themselves or others. It is usually done in a positive way of preventing the person from doing harm themselves or the others. It’s like stopping them from doing bad stuff.

haha i think this is enough, you got it, right?

WICCA, WITCHCRAFT AND PAGANISM 

final question. Which is which? what am i?

WICCA

is a religion, a belief. All wiccans are pagan, and they are also witches (basically pagan witches). They practice magick and witchcraft alongside with believing in divine energies. They follow the moon phases, that each moon phase has a different magical meaning. They celebrate 8 holidays- sabbaths, or either called pagan holidays. And since it is a religion, wiccans believe in a God and a Goddess, or multiple deities which is called eclectic wicca. 

WITCHCRAFT

a witch is someone who works with herbs, potions, casts spells, crystals, natural healing… someone who does energy workings. Witches can be Muslim, Christian, whatever religion they choose to believe in, or they don’t have to be religious at all. 

PAGANISM

is a wide  variety of beliefs, in which is the nature worshipped. Pagans follow religious guidelines drawn out by nature- seasons, moon phases, weather… There are maaaany gods and Goddesses, they usually represent a part of nature or a celestial body. They can choose to wroship Celtic, Greek, Hindu, Chinese, Egyptian deities and many more. Pagans believe that we should not be superior to nature, she is the one who created us afterall. It’s like an umbrella of religions, under which are Hinduists, Wiccans, Shamanists…

IN CONCLUSION

All wiccans are pagan, but not all pagans are wiccan. All wiccans are witches, but not all witches are wiccan.

boom. Period. 

Howdy there, I’m Madalynn.  

You can research this concept along with Hermes Trismegistus, and Hermeticism.  Often, Hermes Trismegistus is often cited as the source of this quote and it was found on the Emerald Tablet.  Even Christians have this same saying though they have changed it to “on earth as it is in heaven”, its from the Lords Prayer in Matthew 6:10.  

You can also research the Law of Similarity for some understanding on this.  I have a vague memory that I might have already commented the same on here, but I can’t remember if I dreamed that.  

Here’s a decent starting point.  

So all those herbs, candles, crystals?  The associations given to them?  Those reflect an idea here, on earth.  When we use them in our witchcraft and spells, it is reflected above, or as it is in heaven.  And heaven or above, will reflect the magic back down to us in the spell’s result.  It’s a circle type of thing, As Above, So Below.

The full quote is:

Hey Moon Babies. So before I add this into my Grimoire I wanted to share this Bath Ritual with you, one that I’ve done many times, and is super great for a self-love pick me up or if you want to honour/devote yourself to Aphrodite.

You Will Need:

White Candles

Fresh Rose Petals ( Pink for Love, Red for Passion, White for Purity ). This is dependant on what you have on hand and what you feel like adding.

Rose Quartz

Lavender Essential Oil ( Vanilla is another good oil to add too ).

Coconut Oil

Almond Oil

Honey ( Offering to Aphrodite )

Moon Water ( Not compulsory but this will give your bath an extra oomph )

What To Do:

Run a bath.

Decorate around your tub with as many white candles, and rose quartz as possible.

Once the bath is finished running, add a few drops of essential oil, a few drops of almond oil, and a teaspoon of coconut oil and honey. Add a small cup of moon water. Mix the ingredients well.

Sprinkle in rose petals.

When in the bath and once relaxed, ask your mermaid brothers/sisters for guidance in your journey of self-love, peace and acceptance. Devote your body to Aphrodite.

When you’re finished and ready to come out of the bath, thank Aphrodite and the mermaids for their guidance.

Drain bath. ( I would recommend cleansing and re-using the rose petals for a glamour spell or something of your choice )

Enjoy!!

In Lisa Chamberlain’s book called ‘Wicca: Kitchen Witchery’ I found some good informations for kitchen witchery and I would like to share it with you so it may will be useful for someone!

Following the moon phases and adapting my magic to their power and correspondences has been crucial to my practice. If you’re interested in connecting to the lunar cycle, here are the links to my previous posts on each moon phase. 

🌑 New Moon Magic 

🌒 Waxing Crescent Moon Magic

🌓 First Quarter Moon Magic

🌔 Waxing Gibbous Moon Magic

🌕 Full Moon Magic

🌖 Waning Gibbous Moon Magic 

🌗 Last Quarter Moon Magic

I’m sharing one of my most essential brews, because I have only just considered that is may be a great starting potion for baby witches. In my very humble opinion, of course. I shared it with a baby witch a few days ago and realized more people could use this one, because it’s simple, the ingredients are easy to come across, and it’s good for when you’re only just learning to ground yourself, as well as for more experiences witches (I brew this potion still)

Remember: Grounding requires both relaxation AND determination - which is why citrics can nourish your energy enough to accomplish focus and strength.

Ingredients:

orange slices or juice (energy, strength)

lemon slices or juice (cleansing, awareness)

chamomile in any form (peace, relaxation)

mint (psychic sensitivity, clears mind, focus, cleansing)

cardamom (relaxation, clears the mind)

dandelion (psychic abilities)

clove (clears the mind, grounding, protection)

chestnut (grounding, intuition, focusing energy)

If you cannot find clove in any form, make sure you do have chestnut, and vice versa. These are the two main ingredients for grounding work.

Instructions:

Brew chamomile tea, stirring clockwise.

Infuse with orange and lemon for a few minutes. If working with slices, remove them after a while so that they don’t bitter the potion nor take over the whole brew.

Add mint, cardamom and dandelion - slowly, and focusing on the purpose of each ingredient for this potion as you stir clockwise.

Add clove and chestnut last, manifesting your intent as best as you can. Say to yourself as you stir: this brew will ground me. It will give me peace and focus and strength.

Drink it in a quiet environment, sitting on the floor and focusing on the grounding your potion is providing. Breathe calmly, concentrating on your every breath.

🌙 15th November 2020

This new moon is very positively aspected by Jupiter and Pluto, which are currently conjunct and blessing our lives with great potential to succeed in anything we are truly passionate about.

Yes, this Scorpio moon brings us good fortune, luck and success, but only if you do something to claim it. It might easily pass you or just bring you short-term success if you don’t work hard enough.

I recommend writing down your intentions and goals and taking immidiate inspired action. Show up for yourself and your dreams, don’t just expect them to fall into your lap.

Since we are talking about Scorpio, I have to mention that secrets or anything that has been hidden for a while may suddenly be revealed at the time of the new moon. There is also possibility for deception and dissapointments.

Kitchen herbs and what they are used for.

What to Avoid When the Planets are in Retrograde

A planet that is retrograde is a planet that is away. Therefore, it is unable or unwilling to offer the help it usually gives. Though, of course, if we are diligent enough, we might be able to compensate for the missing assistance.

Mercury – Signing Contracts

Mercury rules communication, and contracts are the most official form of that. Job contracts signed during Mercury retrograde tend to have wrong figures in them, such as discrepancy in the salary breakdown, and mistakes in the notice period before resignation or termination becomes effective.

Venus – Physical Transformation

Venus rules beauty, which covers trips to the salon, the spa and your surgeon. When Venus is retrograde, disasters in these places can happen. Your stylist might burn your skin with a hair tool. The masseuse might give you a fracture. And your doctor might ruin a part of your face forever.

Mars – New Ventures

Mars rules our drive to compete, and competition means something different to all of us. A match to an athlete, a debate to a student, a job to a professional, a business to an entrepreneur. With Mars in retrograde, your will to fight might abandon you entirely a few moments after beginning an endeavor.

Jupiter – Life-changing Shifts

Jupiter is our largest planet, and thus rules the larger things in life: religion, education, migration. If you change your spirituality at this time, you might find yourself in a cult. Change your degree program, and you might end up hating it. Move to a new country, and the locals might make life very difficult for you.

Saturn – Bullying and Being Bullied

Saturn rules discipline and structure. And when the alpha is away, the betas like to play. But people who abuse their authority at this time get punished tenfold – and so do those who do not fight back. As the Great Father, Saturn does not like victim mentality. The key is to keep the order during his vacation.

Uranus – Stubbornness

The Lord of Chaos, Uranus often gives us surprises. But when he is away, he is not there for quality control, so the amount of shocks doubles. In relationships and at work, we have to adapt to any changes. Otherwise, we might find ourselves getting abandoned or expelled once Uranus goes direct.

Neptune – Breaking Down

As the planet of illusions, Neptune is our rose-colored glasses. When he is away, we see things for what they really are. People reveal their true colors. The sugar coating melts away. Our job at this time is to accept truths. If we deny them, we might get stuck in such an escapist mindset for many years to come.

Pluto – Anything Permanent
