As An Agnostic Modern Witch, Sometimes Very Old Holiday Traditions Are Hard To Follow. I Don’t Have

Lavender in Witchcraft

Gender: Feminine (Though this is disputed)

Element: Water and Air

Planets: Neptune and Mercury

Signs: Virgo and Pisces

Deities: Selene

Chakra: Third eye

Represents: Longevity and long life, peace, harmony, love attraction and romance, healing, sleep and dreams, the third eye and psychic abilities, as well as purification and spirit healing.

Some uses for lavender:

- Wear the oil, perfume or essence of lavender as a way to attract men, women -or whatever you are into- towards you. Men especially are attracted towards lavender; prostitutes were  known to wear lavender in ancient times to draw in clients.

- Drink a tea of lavender before doing any mental or psychic work; it is said to increase both mental and psychic abilities.

- Burn it or scatter it around your house to ward off evil spirits; as well as cleanse and raise the vibes.

- Scatter a mixture of lavender and rosemary across your doorway to keep unwanted guests * and that really irritating postman*

-Carry some on or around you (ex: keep a sprig in your purse or pocket, wear some oil of it on yourself, throw some in your sock drawer, etc.) for a longevity in your life.

- Add some into your skincare to bring a youthful glow and essence to your skin and body.

odd little spells and charms

- light an incense related to success or money drawing and pass your resume through it’s smoke to promote job success (be sure to be actively searching for work). leave on your altar and let the incense burn out

- whistle for a breeze on a hot or stuffy day

- twirl your index finger, visualizing the minute hand of a clock moving quickly as you do so to promote time going by quickly, then snap your fingers and visualize the minute hand moving ever so quickly. for better effectiveness try not to keep track of time.

- charge a face mask under moonlight and then use it the next day for glamour magick. try a rose face mask for a loving aura, etc

- if you work retail or any other business that requires or promotes surveys, buy a green marker, charge it, and use it whenever you need to circle the survey on a customer’s receipt to promote positive surveys in your name (be sure to write your name as well)

- write a wish on a bay leaf and safely burn it 

- utilize dry and fallen candle wax on the table you’ve managed to get off by poking a small hole enough to fit a ribbon through it and then drawing a sigil on it, best if the sigil is related to the color. You can hang these around your room and charge them as well.

- hold a pair of sunglasses in your hand and affirm, “no one shall bother me when i put these on, and i will not be noticed” and then obviously put them on. good if you do not want to be bothered as you walk, on the train, etc.

- a simple glamour for an intimidating gaze: visualize a black aura around your eyes, and feel your gaze getting stronger and stronger. believe that you have a sharp and intimidating gaze. this is good to help you stand your ground during arguments, etc.

spell jars 101 ⚱

how to craft a spell jar: 

gather your ingredients

charge & program each ingredient before adding it to the jar (aka, give power & instructions to your ingredients)

add the ingredients to the jar

close the jar

enchant the jar as a whole object (see my post on enchanting items for further guidance)

seal with wax, ribbon, or string to finalize & cast the spell 

optional: decorate your bottle if you wish

what you can use as a jar:

tiny craft store jars

mason jars

pickle / pasta sauce jars

old medication bottles

food storage containers

what you can add to a spell jar: 

dried herbs

dried citrus peels

magickal powders

small crystals

gem chips

essential oils (a drop or two will go a long way)

infused oils (carrier oils such as olive or grapeseed oil that have been infused with herbs)

a few drops of charged water (storm water, war water, sea water, holy water, rain water, moon water, sun water, etc.)

paper (with sigils / symbols / glyphs drawn on it, an incantation, a name, a phrase, etc.)

coins

beads

glitter or confetti 

seashells / shark teeth / beach sand

leaves

DNA (finger nail clippings, a piece of hair, etc. to be used as a taglock)

animal fur, nail clippings, teeth, or whiskers***

nails, glass, pins, needles, thorns, & other sharp objects (great for cursing, binding, banishing, or protection)

vinegar, lemon juice, pickle juice (mostly for “souring” a situation)

honey, sugar, syrup (to “sweeten” a situation or for attraction)

pretty much anything that fits & corresponds to your intent

what you should avoid putting in a spell jar: 

fresh herbs or plant material (this can cause mold to grow inside of the jar)

biological secretions (i mean, you can if you want but it’s not necessarily sanitary & there are cleaner, more easily obtained taglocks to use instead)

what spell jars are good for: 

containing your spell, theoretically making it easier to manipulate & control

manifesting goals/intentions over time

manifesting goals continuously 

passive manifestation that doesn’t require much ongoing participation from the caster

what to do with your spell jar once it’s been crafted:

keep it on your altar

depending on the intent of the spell, keep it in a different area that you frequent (for glamours, keep it in the bathroom; for sleep or dreams, keep it in the bedroom; for safe travels, keep it in your vehicle; for cursing, keep it concealed in a black box; etc.)

wear it around your neck

put it in your pocket, purse, or backpack

bury it in your backyard or within a potted plant outside (for spells you don’t plan to undo or want to last indefinitely)

if burying is not an option, hide it somewhere on your property

leave it at a crossroads

recharging spell jars: 

shake it up

light a candle on top of or next to it

submerge it in a bath of herbs or crystals that are associated with energy

submerge or surround with sea salt (a natural conductor of energy)

anoint with oil / blessed or charged water

pair with a tarot card or rune stone that matches your intent

suffumigate with incense smoke

energy work & visualization

disposing of & reversing spell jars - when you feel like the spell has done its job or you need to undo its effects:

do not throw the entire jar into an open flame - this is incredibly dangerous

remove the contents from the jar & either burn them or bury them

for items you wish to save, cleanse them thoroughly before using them again

take the jar & cleanse it in whatever manner you choose & either save it to be reused; or shatter it & then dispose of it properly

***please practice safe & ethical harvesting when it comes to using parts from a living animal in your craft; don’t ever trim whiskers off of your pet (if they come out naturally then it’s okay to use them); routine grooming is a great way to obtain some of the things i mentioned; you can use the baby teeth that you inevitably find when your puppy or kitten is teething, also! 

Forgot to upload this here, a full moon calendar for 2020 for the northern hemisphere, I’m making the one for the southern hemisphere too <3

Full moons are perfect for charging your crystals or utensyls, to make moon water and to focus on your special intentions.

The Wolf Moon already lurks in the sky, do you have anything planned for it?

The Wiccan’s Glossary

Amazonite is sometimes called ‘The Lucky Hope Stone’ as it aids in good luck aimed towards your hopes. Affirmation: “I can achieve anything I set my mind to.” It soothes and calms the soul, builds personal character and strength, and brings inner balance as well as balance in life. It is a lovely stone of teals and pale blues, appealing to the eye in both rough and polished form. It has a calming aura and encourages a state of deep ataraxia.

Amazonite is a great stone for sufferers of anxiety and people in stressful situations.
