The Pagan Way

This is a technique in which a person can find out what awaits them in the coming year. 

For this divination, three identical candles should be taken. 

The first candle symbolizes positive events. 

The second candle symbolizes the coming year. 

The third candle indicates a flow of negative events. 

These candles should be arranged in the following order:

First, a candle is placed to signify the flow of positive events.

A candle is placed next to it, which signifies the coming year. 

A candle is placed next to the second candle, symbolizing the flow of negative events. 

All three candles should be lit at the same time. 

In this New Year's fortune-telling, the middle candle that marks the coming year will show the course of future events. 

If this candle burns with an even flame, it is a hint of a harmonious year. 

If the wax from this candle drips towards the first candle, it is an indication of a successful and prosperous year. 

If the wax drips from this candle to the third candle, it is an indication of obstacles, love and material limitations.

🌟 Bath Magic 🌟!

Let’s talk about one of my favorite ways to practice magic! There’s nothing more rejuvenating to me than a long hot bath. I definitely gravitate towards using water in my practice, and magical baths are my favorite way to incorporate this. For my baths, I usually put together a standard mix for overall cleansing and good vibes, and then customize it from there depending on what kind of energy im trying to attract!

My standard bath mix:

Equal parts of:

💫Epsom Salt - This stuff is all over good for you! It eases any aches and pains and eliminates toxins in the body. I use this as a cleansing element in the bath mix

💫Himalayan Pink Salt - Similar to the epsom salt, this detoxifies your body as well as your energetic field. Pink salt is a powerful energetic healer and has a way of absorbing and dispersing negative energy, while also being awesome for the body because of all the trace minerals found in it!

💫Coconut oil - Magically useful for protection&  purification, so a lovely addition to the baths cleansing properties! Coconut oil is also a fantastic moisturizer & I love having some in the bath in order to lock moisture in my skin!

💫Rose Water - If I have any rose water on hand, I’ll add a little bit into my mix! Roses are commonly known to correspond with love and passion and a litle rose water is a great way to invite more love into your life. Roses & rose water are also associated with intuition, and dream magic.

💫Moon Water - I also include a splash of moon charged water in my bath! I usually work pretty closely with the moon, so this is a personal comfort! I love having the energy of a moonbeam with me while I’m cleansing from energetic build up or preforming a spell or ritual

💫Selenite Dust - Selenite is a fantastic cleansing mineral thats energy is very similar to the moon. This mineral dissolves in water, so be sure not to place your favorite piece in the bath! I have a bit of selenite that I use specifically for making dust.

💫Essential Oils - There are a variety of oils you could add depending on what your intentions are! I usually switch up which oils I add depending on the intention of the bath. My favorites right now are tea tree oil and rosemary!

From there, I sometimes will add teabags, herbs and flowers (pictured above are rose petals, honeysuckle and rosemary for luck and abundance!) put these in a muslin bag so that clean up is a little easier), and bring candles and crystals with me. My favorite things to add to my standard bath mix are a nice bath bomb that color-coordinates with my intentions (I really respond to magical color correspondences! ), and a face mask.

For me, these baths are almost always for a through energetic cleanse, and are useful before doing spell work or ritual work. They can also be so useful when I’m just going through a stressful time and need to relax! I use them to ground, center, cleanse, and meditate. Baths can also be a perfect quiet time to develop your intuition, or a safe space to practice spirit work. Of course you can also build a spell into a bath mix, or anything else you wish!

Baths can also be medicinal, and as with any medicinal practice make sure your health situation can mix with any herbal / holistic medicinal methods safely!

Spell to Recover What Was Taken

One of my favorite quotes about the magic of homemaking comes from Cory Hutcheson, host of the New World Witchery podcast. He says, “Home is a transformational act. It is the thing you do to turn a space into a space… that is full of ritual and significance and meaning. So there is sort of this ongoing relationship you have with the space that makes it a home.”

The act of creating a home, of making a space your own, is inherently magical. But if you want to make your space feel a little more witchy, here are some ideas to get you started.

Charms and Talismans

Making your own magical objects can be a powerful way to bring magic into your space. The best thing about making your own charms is that you can make them look however you want, so it’s easy to disguise them as ordinary household objects. You can make a charm for any intention by combining objects based on their magical correspondences.

I’ve talked about protective charms in previous posts, so I’m not gonna spend a lot of time on it here. The simplest protective charm is keeping a large piece of iron under your bed to keep away nightmares, evil spirits, and negative energy. You could also make your own protection charm, like a witch bottle.

You can create a “happy home” charm to bring peace, harmony, and happiness into your home. This charm could include herbs like basil, rosemary, lavender, peppermint, and/or bay leaves, as well as other items that you associate with peace and good fortune, like lucky coins, crystals, or black cat fur. Write your desires for a harmonious and happy home on a piece of paper, fold it up, and add it to the charm. You could store these items in a green bag, bury them in your backyard (in this case, make sure you’re only using biodegradable plant matter — leave out the coins and crystals), or place it inside a household object like a lamp or an end table.

If you suffer from insomnia or other sleep issues, try making a dream charm to help you sleep well and have sweet dreams. To make a simple dream charm, fill a blue or purple bag with lavender, chamomile, peppermint, and any other objects that you associate with peace, restfulness, and sleep. If you want to have lucid dreams or receive psychic messages in your dreams, include a bit of mugwort. Place the charm in your pillow or under your mattress. (I personally swear by this one, as it’s helped a lot with my insomnia.)

Charms are great for homemaking magic because you’re actually creating a magical object, which can then become a permanent fixture of the space.

Magical Decor

You can use magical items to decorate your home to bring certain qualities into that space.

Hanging or displaying a broom is said to bring good fortune, protection from evil, and good hospitality. Cauldrons are used to represent the Goddess, rebirth, and raw potential. Horseshoes hung above door frames bring safety and luck to all who cross under them, and keep unwanted guests away. If you can get them legally and ethically, animal bones, teeth, claws, and feathers can represent the spirit and energy of that animal. You can also put up images of spiritual and occult symbols — I have an image of the Sun tarot card hanging in my bedroom to promote positivity and growth.

If you need to be a little more subtle with your witchy decorations, working with the magic of color is a great way to do that. Gathering a lot of items of a single color in one room changes the energy of that room. Here’s a quick guide to give you some ideas:

Yellow is associated with divination, mental clarity, the element of air, success, communication, and inspiration.

Purple is associated with divine power, spiritual awareness, mystery, astral travel, magic, and authority.

Blue is associated with healing, psychic abilities, the element of water, peace, truth, and patience.

Red is associated with protection, the fire element, sex, power, vitality, and love.

Orange is associated with ambition, creativity, breaking through blockages, and career success.

Pink is associated with romantic love, friendship, self love, compassion, and emotional well-being.

Green is associated with nature, herbalism, the earth element, money, wealth, prosperity, and luck.

Brown is associated with grounding, animal magic, stability, and balance.

White is associated with purification, cleansing, the full moon, new beginnings, healing, and spiritual growth.

Black is associated with protection, truth, outer space, banishing, and transition.

Decorating your home with colors that are meaningful to you can create a powerful magical space. You may also have your own color associations (for example, yellow is a very “happy” color for me), so feel free to incorporate those into your decor as well!

Growing Magical Houseplants

Most witches feel a very deep connection to nature and draw power from the natural world, but we can’t all live in a cottage in the heart of the forest. Even if you live in a tiny apartment in the city, you can still bring nature into your space by keeping houseplants. Many popular houseplants have magical uses, and many popular magic herbs can be grown inside. Here are a few to get you started.

Aloe. This is one of my favorite plants. Aloe brings luck and protection, especially protection on an energetic/spiritual level. I like to keep aloe in my bedroom to protect me while I sleep, as well as to bring luck and inspiration while I’m working at my desk.

Basil. Basil is very popular in money spells, and will attract prosperity and luck to your home. However, it also has protective properties — both spiritual protection and protection from bugs, since basil is a natural insect repellent! Basil can also be used in love spells, and is just generally a good plant to have around for good vibes.

African Violet. This flowering plant attracts positive spiritual energy into your space. It has associations with the moon and the water element, and is very good for promoting spirituality and psychic power.

Rosemary. Rosemary is one of those herbs that every witch should have on hand. It’s so darn versatile, it can be used as a substitute for virtually any other herb, and can be used for almost any intention. Some of the most common magical associations for rosemary include: cleansing, purification, protection, healing, mental activity, and enhancing memory. According to author Deborah J. Martin, there’s an old English saying that, “Where rosemary grows, the woman rules the house.” Like basil, rosemary is a natural insect repellent.

Lavender. Lavender brings peace, love, and gentleness, which makes it a perfect addition to any home. It can be used in spells for cleansing and purification, enhancing psychic abilities, and stress relief. Lavender is also a powerful addition to love spells. Keeping lavender in the bedroom can aid in restful sleep, while lavender in the kitchen will bring harmony to the home.

Sage. Sage is the most talked about cleansing herb, and with good reason. Unfortunately, a lot of the sage bundles you can buy at metaphysical stores are made with white sage (Salvia apiana), which is sacred to Native American peoples and is endangered due to overharvesting. Instead of buying those, why not grow your own garden sage (Salvia officinalis), which has a lot of the same magical properties? Growing sage in your home will purify the space and protect those who live there. Sage also has an association with wisdom and mental prowess.

Hoya. Hoya is a common houseplant that you’ve probably seen even if you don’t know it by name. It has a distinctive appearance with waxy, dark green leaves and clusters of white, star-shaped flowers. Hoya aligns and balances the energy centers within your body, as well as in the surrounding space. It’s associated both with grounding and with spiritual openness, so it can be great for balancing the two.

Peppermint. Peppermint has a variety of magical uses, but my favorite way to use it is for gently opening up blockages and getting things moving. It’s great for cleansing, but is more gentle than rosemary or sage. Place it in any room where you tend to do a lot of healing work, or where you could use some peace and love. Peppermint is also used in dream magic, so growing it in the bedroom may bring on vivid or lucid dreams.

Orchid. Orchids are used in magic for love and lust. Historically, orchid has been used in folk medicine to promote male virility and “Jezebel root,” used in American folk magic to attract wealthy male lovers, is a type of orchid root. If you live with a significant other, try growing an orchid in the bedroom to promote passion in your sex life. Otherwise, grow orchids in your home to promote love or to attract romance.

Catnip. If you have cats, they’ll love this one. Catnip is actually a type of mint, and has strong lunar associations. It’s said to make one more charming and attractive, and is especially useful for attracting women. At the same time, catnip promotes courage and fierceness. It is also, of course, associated with cats and feline deities, so this is definitely a plant you’ll want to keep around if the cat is one of your animal guides.

If you have a yard space that you can turn into an outdoor garden, your magical plant options are limited only by your local ecosystem. Some outdoor plants that have magical uses include roses, sunflowers, rue, lemon balm, and strawberries.

Creating an Altar

Altars are focal points of magical and spiritual energy. Many people, both witches and non-witches, find that having a designated space for their spiritual practice creates a deeper sense of sacredness and purpose.

An altar can serve lots of different purposes. Many witches use their altar as a magical work space to prepare spells, meditate, and do divination. You may choose to dedicate your altar to a deity, your ancestors, or some other spirit(s) you work with. You can also build altars for specific intentions, such as a money altar or a love altar — performing rituals at this altar everyday is a powerful method for manifestation. You altar may be some or all of these things, or it may just be a place to sit and connect with the spiritual.

You can set up an altar on any flat surface, like a shelf or table, or inside a container like a jewelry box. Your setup can be as simple or as elaborate as you like. An altar can be huge and complex, with statues and candles and flowers, or it can be as simple as a tealight and an incense burner. It’s all about what appeals to you.

One of the questions I find myself answering a lot is “how do I get into cosmic witchcraft?” Although @phaesphore​ has a really good guide (here), I thought I’d write out a few of my own suggestions. 

Who:

Who can be a cosmic witch?

Anyone can be a cosmic witch! The main aspects of cosmic witchcraft include working with the various celestial bodies included in the cosmos, and harnessing energy from them depending upon your intent. If you feel drawn to the cosmos and the vastness of outer space, then cosmic witchcraft is definitely for you. 

What & Why:

Figure out what aspects of cosmic witchcraft that you are drawn to

Is it your fascination with outer space? Is it the desire for a spiritual relationship with the cosmos? There are many reasons someone might be drawn to this practice, so do some digging and figure out yours. 

Which celestial bodies do you want to work with and why? 

This ranges from planets, to stars, to constellations, and various deep space objects. Each celestial body has its own set of correspondences and associations, some that may resonate more with you than others. 

Still at a loss? Complete your birth chart and figure out your dominant planet - birth charts show the alignment of the planets at the time of your birth. Each person has a dominant planet, which can be found in more detailed birth charts that you can complete online. 

To find your dominant planet, go to Astro.com > click “extended chart selection” on the right hand side > fill out the necessary information > choose “Pullen/Astrolog” > from the dropdown menu, select “simple chart delineation by Walter Pullen” > scroll about ½ or ¾ of the way down the page until you find a section that lists the percentages of the planets in your chart > the planet with the highest percentage would be considered your dominant planet.

What kind of spells do you like to perform? 

Each celestial body has their own set of correspondences to choose from depending on your intent. 

Planetary Associations

Celestial Body Correspondences

Asteroid, Comet, & Minor Planet Associations

The types of spells you can perform when practicing cosmic witchcraft are endless. 

Draw planetary symbols as sigils, or combine them to represent more than one intention 

Using Planetary Symbols (an ask)

Make spell jars or sachets using ingredients that represent various planets or celestial bodies

Perform glamour magick using cosmic spell ingredients

Celestial Roll-On Perfume

Planetary Bath Salts

Planetary Shower Disks

Uranian Coffee Scrub

Solar Herbal Salve

Burn loose incense or herbs that represent the planets 

Make powders that represent the planets to be used in spell jars, sachets, or to be sprinkled in a desired area

Planetary Powders

Charge water with celestial energy 

Moon Water

Uses for Moon Water

Moon Water & Lunar Phases

Celestial Gem Elixir

Turn your charged water into a consumable potion

Star Potion

Moon Potion

What kind of tools do you like to use? 

With Cosmic Witchcraft, you’re free to use whatever tools you like, as they all have some kind of association to the cosmos. This includes herbs, essential oils, and crystals, to name a few. 

Planetary Botanical Blends

Planetary Fruit & Vegetable Blends

Zodiac Botanical Blends

Planetary Essential Oil Blends

Planets & Minerals/Crystals

When:

Spell timing in cosmic witchcraft can be done in a multitude of ways. 

Planetary hours (the hours of the Sun, the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Saturn, etc.)

Planetary Hours

Lunar phases (waning, waxing, full, new, etc.)

Lunar Phase Associations

Planetary aspects and alignments (sextile, trine, conjunction, square, etc.)

Planetary Aspects & Orbs

Planetary placements (whether a planet is transiting through a certain zodiac sign)

The Moon in Zodiac Signs

Various times of day (sunrise, daylight, noon, evening, twilight, nighttime, midnight, etc.)

Spell Casting - Time of Day

Meteor Showers

Draconids

Orionids

Taurids

Leonids

Lyrids

Where:

Cosmic witchcraft can be performed literally anywhere, whether it’s inside or outside. You don’t necessarily have to be outside under the night sky to successfully perform a cosmic spell or harness cosmic energy. If you choose to perform cosmic magick indoors, use some visual or auditory tools to help you out; i.e. spacey music, a picture of space on your computer, a space poster on the wall behind your altar, etc.

How:

Actively practicing cosmic witchcraft encompasses more than just doing spells. 

Learn to harness the power of the cosmos to not only perform spells but also to charge, empower, and enchant objects

Channeling Celestial Energy

Planetary Invocation 

Spiral Meditation

Black Hole Grounding

Learn to protect yourself using cosmic energy

Celestial Warding

Black Hole Decoy

Set up an altar dedicated to the cosmos and your practice

Cosmic Altar & Room Ideas

Perform daily, mundane-seeming tasks to connect with the cosmos

Tasks for the Cosmic Witch

Do arts and crafts that can be used as active spell components or as objects to represent the cosmos

What will you be doing to usher in the most wonderful season?

Full Moon tonight! Charge your crystals, set out your moon water, and let the full energy of the powerful full moon into you!

happy full moon, loves ♡ the full moon is a time to release what no longer serves you. this could be some part of your life, a relationship, an attitude or belief, a habit, or some aspect of yourself that you have outgrown. at the full moon, energy is powerful. we can harness this energy by performing a full moon bath ritual to cleanse, let go, recharge, and welcome positive change and new opportunities into our lives.

in this ritual bath, mineral rich himalayan salts eliminate toxins, balance the body’s pH, reduce inflammation, and stimulate circulation and cellular regeneration. himalayan salt also promotes spiritual and mental balance, relieves stress, and restores your sense of wellbeing. during a full moon, healing potential is at its peak, meaning mineral absorption is optimized. coconut milk gently exfoliates, nourishes, and hydrates your skin and makes your bath silky and soft. uplifting rose, lavender, and soothing essential oils promote peace, protection, purification, clarity, healing, and love.

ingredients:

♡ 4 cups coconut milk ♡ 1 cup himalayan salt ♡ 1-2 cups dry or fresh rose petals and lavender buds ♡ 10 drops lavender essential oil ♡ 10 drops rose essential oil

directions:

first, clear your energy and cleanse your space. you may choose to light incense, perhaps white sage or palo santo to purify. light your favourite candles, or candles that correspond to your full moon intentions (for example, white candles represent peace, truth and purity; pink candles represent positive self love, friendship, harmony and joy; light purple candles represent intuition, peace, and healing). corresponding crystals can also be included to amplify the power of your bath.

Black Salt

This was my first time making black salt, but i’m really proud of the end result. I’m also really glad that my glass bottle collection got some use 💕

What You’ll Need:

A glass bottle

Organic Sea Salt

Ashes (I used weed/cigarette ashes, as that’s my coping mechanism for calming down)

A few drops of holy water

Mortar and Pestle

What’s Next...

Pour salt and ashes into the mortar.

Mix the two together, in a clockwise motion, speaking your intention.

Add the holy water, and continue mixing in a clockwise fashion. At this step, the salt and the ashes should be binding together because of the holy water.

I like to create invoking pentacles while mixing, but that step is completely voluntary.

a simple spell bottle to protect yourself mentally, physically and spiritually

WHAT YOU NEED :

salt - protection, purification

cinnamon - protection, speeds up spells, courage

rosemary - protection, purification

chilli flakes - ward of unwanted energies

bay - protection against hexes and curses

basil- peace, protection, drive away evil

ginger - make spells more powerful, protection

black pepper - protection

oak leaves- protection, wisdom

egg shells - protection

lavender - peace, healing, protection

sage (please don’t use white sage) - protection, purification

paper

pen

spell bottle jar

candles : i used a white one and the also the wax from my deity candles on my alter

WHAT TO DO:

as always, ground yourself and cast a circle in the way you prefer

light all your candles, you can also light some insence if you’d like

in no particular order, add all your herbs into the jar (using a funnel - even if you make one from paper, can be really helpful), focussing on intent

create a sigil with the intent of protection using your own words and method. draw it on a small slip of paper, fold and add to the jar.

speak affirmations into the jar focusing on the protection of yourself ( or whoever will be wearing this). You can also repeat the statement used for the sigil

put the lid on and place the jar on something you can pour the candle wax onto.

pour all the candle wax onto your spell jar, allowing it to run down the sides and even create a pool at the bottom

allow the candle wax to mainly dry and remove the bottle. it is now done. i like to put the left lever wax that’s not attached on a wax melt thingy and melt it for further protection
