Signs You AREN’T Talking To Your Deity.

Me, on my third Hermes moodboard: This counts as devotional art, right?

hey if ur lgbt rb this and tag ur sexuality/gender and what loot you would drop if u died in a video game

not sure if this is of any use to anyone, but I've found that I like to draw sigils with pencil (mostly the one I use to dedicate schoolwork to Athena) and smudge it into the paper with my finger as a way to "activate" it! I don't have access to fire and I can't really be open about my practice, so maybe this could help others who are the same? it also prevents the sigil from being seen if you smudge it enough!

Things to put in your Grimoire ✨🖋

Since a lot of you younger, less experienced witches seem to ask, I thought I’d make a list of things one might want to include in your grimoire. (a lot of stuff I have listed are things I personally put in mine) A grimoire is a witch’s life work. There is no right or wrong way to do it, so take your time with it!

If you’re wiccan, a page dedicated to the wiccan rede and/or the rule of three

if any other religion, go ahead and write your personal beliefs

a protection sigil or personal sigil

just your sigils in general

13 goals of a witch or personal goals

a god & goddess page

wheel of the year

sabbat history, traditions, and correspondance

sabbat rituals

moon phases & correspondance

days of the week correspondance

candle magick and correspondance

the 4 elements

ways to cleanse tarot decks and crystals

tarot meanings

your witches tools

crystal correspondance (*include whether or not they are toxic and/or go in water)

herb correspondance (*also include what ones are okay to injest and/or drug interactions)

essential oils and how to properly use them safely

recipes and/or spells

tea reading

palmistry

scrying magick

dream symbols and meanings

i have a page for crow divination

literally anything you want. it’s your grimoire and its a personal journal.

**Feel free to add more. The list is endless and I’m sure I missed something that might be helpful.

Blessed be

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.

Hey, Diana! I was wondering if there are any spells for beginners? I would like to start practicing, and figured I should start off with some simple spells. Thank you!

THREE SIMPLE & EFFECTIVE SPELLS

Banishing Spell

If there is someone who has been harassing you, ask the powers that be to take them away from your vicinity.

Lock yourself in a bathroom, with a piece of natural paper, a wooden pencil and a black candle in hand.

Light the candle, and write on the paper the name of your villain. Pass the paper over the candle as you recite to the divine the reason you want this person out of your life.

When you are done expressing your worries, burn the paper and stare at it until all of it is ash. Blow out the candle as you thank the higher powers for their assistance. Then throw it away.

The people I have recently given this spell to have seen their abusers getting stuck in faraway places during this coronavirus quarantine.

Problem Solving Spell

If you are facing a dilemma, be it practical, intellectual or moral, ask your higher self for the best solution.

Acquire a small handful of these herbs: rosemary, lemon balm and peppermint. When combined, they invite clarity of mind.

Create a tiny sack from one of your old clothes. It does not have to look beautiful, but you need to sew it yourself. Put the herbs inside it.

Before you sleep, place the sack beneath your pillow, imploring your higher self to help you arrive at the best approach to your problem.

The solution will come to you in your dreams, as a straightforward answer or as symbols that will have a relevant meaning.

Pain Relieving Spell

If you are suffering from pain —physical, emotional or spiritual, activate the healing powers of salt, light and water to cleanse it all away.

On the witching hour, at three o’clock in the morning, run a hot bath for yourself. Place two cups of bath salt in the water.

Light as many tea light candles as the pains you wish to cure: one for your headache, another for your sore legs, a third one for your heavy heart, and so on. Place these candles on the bathtub ledge by your feet.

As you dive in and soak your body, visualize the heat of the water draining away your pains… the sharpness of the salt dissolving them quickly… and the light of the candles melting away any hurt left.

As the warmth of the water fades away, so will your every pain.

Dunno if bobbing the teabag actually helps the tea steep faster but it sure is fun to feel a part of something
