Umbra Witchcraft FAQ

Background:

When I started on my path I didn’t have a name for it. Asking around, researching, and I couldn’t find a name for my ability to feel and work with shadows and their energy. A friend suggested I forge my own path and thus I started referring to my path as Umbra Witchcraft.

What is Umbra Witchcraft?

Umbra witchcraft utilizes the energy of the shadows to fuel spells, wards, curses, etc.

Practicing with the energy of the shadows also has a side effect of drawing what lives in those shadows to you. So be prepared to see dark orbs darting out of the corner of your eye or seeing shadow people.

Is it dangerous?

All magic is dangerous in one form or another. But keep in mind not everything that lives in the shadows is friendly so warding before reaching for umbra energy is a must.

Umbra energy vs The Umbra

Umbra energy comes from the shadows but The Umbra is a shadowy realm created, originally, by the Goddess Nyx as a safe haven for her children. It eventually expanded and become a safe haven for all of the dark deities and creatures of myth and legend.

Do I have to worship Nyx to practice Umbra witchcraft?

No you don’t. You can if you want and you might draw her attention when you first start out but you do not have to worship her or any other deity if you do not want to.

Is it ok to call myself an Umbra witch?

Yes of course its ok! I might be the first to consider myself an Umbra witch but that does not mean I own the name. In fact I would hope others refer to themselves as Umbra witches so we can find each other and share our experiences.

Call of the Cryptid – Akkorokamui, Giant Octopus of Japan/Thailand

Said to lurk in Uchiura bay in Hokkaido, Japan, the giant Akkorokamui octopus is a blend of far-fetched legend and plausible creature. However, plausibility increases only from looking beyond legend, I’m afraid to say. Why? The Akkorokamui is said to have originally been Yaoshikepu, a spider goddess.

How was it supposedly transformed, according to the legend? The spider goddess was cast into the sea by the god-like Repun Kamui, for slaughtering too many villagers in Hokkaido.  In the sea it  magically became an octopus.

Witchy Knowledge with Waya!

☀️Sun & Moon Water🌕

~As with all posts, this is my take, my opinion, my knowledge. If you make your magick in a different way, great! Don't hate on other ways of the Craft. As I say again and again, there's no wrong way to witchcraft.~

☀️🌕☀️🌕☀️🌕☀️🌕☀️🌕☀️🌕☀️🌕☀️🌕

Sun and Moon water can both be used in many different spells and all sorts of magick. These blessed waters are related to the sun and moon, respectively. They are some of the easiest to make, and most popular types of blessed water!

☀️🌕☀️🌕☀️🌕☀️🌕☀️🌕☀️🌕☀️🌕☀️🌕

Sun Water

Usually made with water from the tap, well water, water from lakes and puddles, etc., but any kind of water can be used

Sun water can be used to/for:

spells for happiness/banishing negativity/banishing depression

Spells for wakefulness

Spells for health and healing

Watering sick plants or plants that don’t get enough sunlight

Spells, potions, and rites for energy

Spells for attracting prosperity

I like to wash my hair with sun water infused with lavender because it makes me feel happy :)

How I make Sun Water

I use a clear glass jar, usually a mason jar

I set the water in my window to catch the sunlight from sunrise to sunset, removing the jar when it gets dark

Sometimes I put a citrine stone on top of/around the jar for an extra sunshine-kick

Then I use it in whatever way I please!

☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️

🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕

Moon Water

Usually made with water from the tap, well water, clear stream water, or rain water, but can be made with any water you choose

Moon water can be used to/for:

Spells for peace, calm, and tranquility

Spells for purification

Spells and potions for sleep and chasing away nightmares

Spells for cleansing

Spells and rites for prophecy and divination

Can be used as water for tea to enhance the magick of the tea

Spells for attracting good fortune

I like to dab moon water on my wrists and behind my ears when I’m nervous to calm me and make me feel less insecure

How I make Moon Water

I use a clear glass jar, usually a mason jar

I set the jar in my window or on my back porch from nightfall until dawn to catch the rays of the moon, removing the jar before sunrise

Sometimes I put moonstone and silver on/around the jar to give it an extra moonlight magick kick

I personally like to be aware of what phase the moon is in when I make moon water, and make many batches which I use for different things (e.g., waning moon water for banishing, full moon water for divination and prophecy, etc.)

🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕

☀️🌕☀️🌕☀️🌕☀️🌕☀️🌕☀️🌕☀️🌕☀️🌕

And that’s my take on sun and moon water! Have a great day, witches! Blessed Be! 💕
