Merry Meet )O(

ingredients needed:

- a candle and a safe place to light said candle

- your own two hands and mind

what you do:

light the candle, and focus gently on the flame. try to think outside of your own thoughts for a moment, and just allow your mind to pause on the flame.

when you feel you have sufficiently centered your focus, repeat these words aloud or in your mind with purpose and force behind them:

“Little flame alight outside,

light the bright flame kept inside!

Deep within my soul grows weary,

light for me a state more cheery!”

and now, hold your hands over the fire and allow them to grow warm - be careful not to burn yourself! repeat the chant as many times as you feel is necessary, and continue to just focus on internalizing that feeling of warmth. 

when you are done warming your hands, place them on your heart and allow the warmth to fill your space.

witches weeds - jimsonweed datura stramonium, hemlock conium maculatum, enchanter’s nightshade circaea lutetiana, deadly nightshade atropa belladona, henbane hyoscyamus niger, moonflower datura innoxia, wolsfbane aconitum napellus

i’ve come across the concept of witches weeds a few times in my botanical wanderings, above are a few of my favorites. a word of warning - every plant above except for enchanter’s nightshade are poisonous plants. please do not go foraging for these plants, some of them can even create symptoms just by touching or breathing in near the plant. 

Hullo everyone! 🌙 

Here is an illustrated set of instructions I made on how to make a Positivity Spell Jar for my illustration class this past quarter. 

What you’ll need:

A Jar

Lighter

Salt- for protection

Glitter-for fun

Candle- light and let melt around edges of jar to Cast Spell

Rosemary- for mental strength

Lavender- to keep calm

Citrine- for abundance

Rose Quartz- for love

Blue Thread- for harmony

—–

As you set each item into the jar focus on what they represent to you. Your magick and energy melding with each, coming from inside you and around you. Close off the jar and wrap the thread round the top of the jar. Light the candle, visualizing the flame as the energy casting the spell.  

This can be modified to make absolutely any type of spell jar. Use different ingredients and colors to symbolize different things.

Enjoy!

make sure to cleanse your pipe periodically, especially after smoking w large groups of acquaintances or people with clashing vibes

Name your piece and take care of it, bond with it, and it’ll treat you well.

Charge the salt or rubbing alcohol you use when you clean your pipe. Throw in a couple sprinkles of herbs or essential oils to fit your purposes Leave your piece sitting out at night and charge it under the full moon, or maybe put a crystal in the bowl overnight, or charge it using gem water

Consider having a personal pipe if you have the money for one, !!especially!! If you use weed as a part of your craft.

Instead of using incense to symbolize air, use a joint.

Use moon water in your bong. Cackle ominously and whisper “bubble bubble toil and trouble” for extra effect. Depending on if/which deities you worship, that might be disrespectful. Charged crystal water is unproblematic as far as I know, but be sure the crystal isn’t going to leave poisonous particles in the water.

A spell to start healing emotionally after rejection.

You Will Need:

💝 Rose Petals 💝 Warm Water 💝 A bowl 💝 2 White Candles 💝 Rose Quartz 💝 1 bag of Chamomile Tea 💝 Red Fabric 💝 Needle 💝 White Thread 💝Scissors

Preparation:

From your fabric cut out a heart and cut it down the middle so you have two halves. Thread your needle before beginning spell (just makes it easier).

Steps:

💝 Place your rose petals at the bottom of your bowl then add your rose quartz on top

💝 Carefully fill bowl with warm water then add your chamomile tea. Leave it near you to steep. 

💝 Light both candles one to your left and one to your right in front of you. Let them burn during the rest of the spell.

💝 “My heart was broken, but it will heal, it will mend, it will seal.” While saying this take your two pieces of heart in either hand and place them down in front of you pressed together

💝 Take needle and thread and begin sewing it up the middle, repairing it. “It will heal, I will heal” repeat this mentally or verbally as you sew up the heart. 

💝 Tie off the thread once done and cut it if needed so you have a mended heart. Move the bowl between the two candles before you. 

💝 “I will be okay” and place your mended heart into the water and let it soak there over night. Blow out your candles but still leave them to either side of bowl for the night.

💝 Come morning take out your heart and place it in a window to dry (you may place it on a plate or paper towel to prevent it from getting things wet). After removing your rose quartz from the bowl, pour it down the drain or toilet. Imagine this action is pouring out the pain you felt from the rejecting.

this will be the first wheel of the year holiday i have ever participated in! unfortunately, due to my preoccupation with our kitchen remodeling, i don’t have as much ready as i would like (so no bread or baking 😔), but here we go anyway!

🌖 harvest tomatoes and peppers from my garden, as well as herbs! peppermint, rosemary, and basil (both for spellwork and for cooking!)

🌖 cook or make something tonight with my home grown vegetables and herbs!

🌖 make some iced tea! the perfect drink after a long day of harvesting

A metal tea strainer just like the one above.

Put just a pinch of herbs inside. Hold the mesh over a candle for several moments. You will be able to see the herbs begin to burn. If you just need a little smoke, they will smoke immediately and go out quickly when removed from the flame.

If you need a lot of smoke, let the herbs turn in to embers (they will not really catch fire). In this form you can carry the tea strainer all around a room to smoke it out, or place it on a fire-safe surface such as a baking dish or pan so it can smolder safely.

Really only use a small amount of dried herbs!

Fire: Reacts with impulse and bold ideas, but may not look at the practicalities or impact on others, a bit like Air, but less cerebral and more from instinct and a feeling of fire in their bellies.

Earth: Looks at things practically, which may hinder innovation and inspiration at times. How can a thought or concept be applied with what I have here and now?

Air: Interesting ideas and concepts, weird and wonderful, often innovative but not necessarily practical or thoughtful of the reaction and impact on others.
