Use your craft to help the protesters

Now normally, I don’t make big posts or have calls-to-action. I’m supportive of the ones I see, and share posts on my social media’s, but don’t often make my own posts about them. But this is too big for any of us to remain silent about. The murder of George Floyd is yet another example of the society we’re living in. It’s one where marginalized groups are constantly attacked and subdued by the actions of the ruling (rich, white) class. We can’t just sit by and let this continue. BLACK LIVES MATTER and to not speak out or act when something so heinous is happening in front of our eyes cannot continue. Want to help the protesters, but can’t march or donate? Use the skills you’ve learned to make a change.

Cast protection and prosperity spells for the protesters:

If you’re able to cast spells, use what you’ve learned to protect the protesters from the violent tactics of the police. Give the protesters the strength and reassurance they need to continue the fight. Help them in gathering the courage needed to face such horrible backlash. Protection is one of the best ways to help if you’re hesitant about directing your spells towards the violent police forces. Let your spells be felt in some way rather than not acting at all.

Bind the police to prevent them from causing more harm:

This one is something many of us can do and if you’re against cursing then this can be a way for you to help even further. Binding the police who are attacking protesters can help protect them even more. Stopping them before violence starts or continues will be incredibly helpful for the protesters who are marching in the streets. It’s been seen that in many instances during these protests, police officers have been the ones instigating violence or harassing protesters to the point where they have no other choice but to react in a way police categorize as violent. Don’t let them do this. Bind their actions to where they can’t continue the violence we’ve been seeing.

Cast curses and hexes directed at police attacking the protesters and causing them serious harm:

Now I’m pro-cursing, but I make sure I have a clear target in my mind whose face I can clearly see. It’s important to also get a name of the target of your curse if you can. This makes it so curses can’t rebound somewhere else or harm the people trying to make a change. Make your target feel the negativity their actions are causing. Make them realize the hate they are causing and the grief they are responsible for. Demoralize them and give them repercussions for attacking protesters

Create sigils that you can share with your friends to family to protect them if they are protesting:

Protective sigils made by you with the intent to help the people around you are a great way to have your work out in the protest. They can help those around the person carrying the sigil and spread the intent of the sigil throughout the protest. You can also create a sigil to do the same thing and burn it or dispose of it in a way which destroys it to send your intent out if someone can not carry it in a protest.

Work with your gods and goddesses to protect the people marching:

Pray to the deities you work with, especially the ones who are associated with protection. In the Norse pantheon, these can be deities such as Thor (especially), Tyr, Freyja, and Odin (among others). Look into the pantheons you work with and the deities you know to see if you can ask them to give their blessings to the protesters. Always be respectful when you’re doing this and give them offerings if that’s how you honor you deities or dedicate some actions to them as thanks for their help.

As people who are part of marginalized communities, it is our duty to support these protests and bring about the change that is so desperately needed. We need to stand with our brothers and sisters to fight against the brutality that is so prevalent in so many areas of the world. Even if you don’t identify as part of a marginalized community, not speaking out against the brutality happening is the same as supporting its continuation. We need to do what we can. Add ways to help the movement that I haven’t mentioned. BLACK LIVES MATTER

Woke up this morning and had to sit down to pray to my protections, my ancestors, and spirit guides for protection and guidance for today. Feeling very anxious today. I hope you’re all well and safe. Blessed be

After a new altar setup for my candles I feel more at ease and its feels very natural here. My craft slowly becomes more natural to me daily and I’m happy to my connection to magick.

Just made dedicated candles for my spirit guides and ancestors! Im excited to work with them more and pray to them

Just made dedicated candles for my spirit guides and ancestors! Im excited to work with them more and pray to them

Working on my official grimoire!! I’m so excited and Im still trying to figure out what will go in the middle

What are yall going to work on this week in your craft?

This week Im going to work on myself through shadow work, my meals, thoughts, and the space I live in. I want to make my body a temple for my higherself

I’ve been enjoying a day full of projections after the first day of samhaim! Still working on more

Being synced with the moon cycle is good and bad. Cause I do not wanna do any prep for the full moon

Pumpkin Spice and Brown Sugar Roasted Pumpkin Seeds for Samhain

Samhain is, among other things, the witches new year. We look back on the previous year, let go of what no longer serves us, let go of the phases in our lives/versions of ourselves that have reached their death, and look forward to/plan for what is to come. That's why I decided to make some roasted pumpkin seeds for the New Year aspect of Samhain!

Seeds carry so much potential. Potential for life, rebirth, and abundance. Seeds, to me, represent the natural cycles that we must connect with and live by. Seeds contain the life of next year's abundant spiritual harvest. And all of this potential is well protected inside the seed shell, waiting to sprout. These were made with seasonally corresponding spices that align with my intent.

On Samhain, I'll cast my intent on the seeds I eat, as I invision my goals for the coming year 🌙

-------------------

You'll need:

🎃 1 cup of pumpkin seeds- potential, prosperity, abundance, protection, manifestation and attraction of wishes, rebirth.

🎃 3 tablespoons of butter- fulfillment, emotional richness, happiness, nurturing energy.

🎃 2 tablespoons of brown sugar- sweetness in life, love, happiness.

🎃 Ground Cinnamon- protection, spiritual focus, psychic awareness, love, prosperity, money, health.

🎃 Nutmeg- prosperity, money, health, psychic awareness, love, happiness.

🎃 Ground Ginger- health, balance, grounding, love, money, success, clarity.

🎃 Allspice- health, luck, abundance, prosperity, money.

🎃 Salt- protection and purification.

🎃 Black Pepper- banish negativity, protection.

The spices don't have measurements because they're all to-taste :) add plenty!

--------------------

1. I washed the seeds after gutting the pumpkin and let them dry for a day. If you decide not to do that, make sure you wash off any pumpkin gunk and pat the seeds dry well.

2. Preheat the oven at 350°F. Cleanse your space as you choose.

3. Melt the butter, and add to it the sugar, salt, and spices. Keep in mind the magical properties of these ingredients as you add them, and how those properties will serve your intent for the year to come. Stir counterclockwise as you invision all that you'll be releasing from the past year, imagine it dissipating. Take a deep breath. Then stir clockwise as you focus on attracting all that you want for the coming year.

4. Pour the spiced melted butter over your seeds in a bowl. Mix the seeds to make sure they all get coated.

5. Place the seeds on a baking sheet or a nonstick baking pan, you want enough space for the seeds to be spaced out from each other. Doesn't have to be perfect, just make sure they're not all clumped together.

6. If you had let the seeds dry out, they will be done in about 10-15 minutes. Stir them every 5 minutes. If you didn't let them dry out, they'll be done in about 25 minutes, and still stir them every 5-10 minutes or so. They'll be done when they look caramelized and are slightly crispy.

I think the veil thinning is part of the reasons I’ve been feeling spiritually burntout as of lately. Its probably too much for me since I’ve just begun and its straining. I’ve been getting the hot and cold spiritual flashes. Hopefully after Samhain I’ll be good

I need to find some good witchy build diys or just room ideas in general

Personally I am going to take a long break from spell jars and get more comfortable with my plants, grimoire, and other crafts that I am working on right now. I just wanna be immersed in my craft through things I enjoy

What area of your craft are you gonna work on this week? Are you gonna learn something new or focus on something you already know?

Im going to work on cleaning and cleansing my space this week so I can function in a physically and spiritually cleaned space! Im also going to work on wards and protections for my house. Time to revamp the protections!

I’ve been doing some more crafts and art pieces for my window sill altar! I’ll post updated pics after I complete the two Im working on now

After a bit of a spiritual burnout Im glad to be working with magick again! It fills this hole in me that I experience without it

My energy has felt so low lately and I’ve been trying to stick with doing small parts of my craft to stay connected. Has anyone else had this feeling

Here’s the first one! Now i gotta make a second one to hold my spell jars!

Im making a twine wrapped wire hope to make a pentacle and this baby is taking foooorever. I’ll post pics when Im done!

Energy Work: Energy Types and Sources

Independent Energy

Independent energy is a type of energy that never loses it’s charge or can recharge on its own with little to no help from outside sources.

Personal energy is the energy that your body makes by itself. It is most commonly recharged by sleeping and calorie consumption and can be easily used as a source in most aspects of witchcraft.

Organic energy is derived from life. This includes humans, plants, animals, and some entities. These can be used as sources. Personal energy falls under this category but is distinguished for crafting purposes.

Rooted energy is the most common source to recharge from and it has a substantial or near unlimited amount of energy. This includes planetary bodies, the elements, and the weather.

Artistic energy is a non-sentient type of energy created by an artist. Despite being able to affect the emotions of those who view or listen to it, the energy itself is trapped within the original product. This energy can be duplicated and used as a source for other creations and magical purposes. This includes things like music, paintings, movies, or stories.

Dependent Energy

Dependent energy is energy that depends on other sources of energy to prevent becoming stagnant with usage over time.

Natural energy is stored in objects not created by humans. It is limited as a source and has to be recharged to keep its individual characteristics. This includes things like crystals, stones, and dead matter.

Manufactured energy is stored in objects created by humans. This includes things like paper, clothing, and machines.

Spiritual energy is created from organic energy sources or nature itself. They heavily depend on other sources of energy in order to maintain themselves. This includes once-living spirits, thoughtforms, and nature spirits.

Programmed energy is a non-sentient energy that is created for a purpose. It can be crafted from any energy source and needs to be recharged in order to continue doing its duty. It can be a free-flowing energy or it can be stored in a vessel. This includes things like spells, curses, and enchantments.

Emotional energy is a non-sentient type of energy created by emotions, thoughts, and words. If fed into, it can turn into an energy parasite. If not fed into, it will neutralize. It can permeate into the world around it or stick to its creator.

Parasitic energy is a non-sentient type of energy and is generally an outcome of sustained emotional energy. It feeds on and encourages the original emotions it stems from and is stuck to a host.

Consumable energy is a non-sentient energy source that is stored in food products. This includes things like harvestable food and crafted food.

Ring Magick

Rings have always been used in magick, whether as a form of talisman, amulet, or enhancement in your magick.

One’s hands both have different meanings and attributes, they are not identical nor are they twins, they are sister and work with each other like yin and yang.

Metals also have a large influence on how the energy flowing from your hands are directed, especially when it comes to your intention.

Crystals

~ What are Crystals and what are they used for?

   Most crystals ( in this case including gems, rocks, precious stones, semi-precious stones, and simple stones) are of mineral origin. Crystals, like amethyst, come out of the ground naturally faceted and don’t need to be changed in anyway. Diamonds, for example, come out of the ground equally as rough, but are usually polished and cut into intricate styles.

 For many years, crystal have been used as a tool to aid spiritual healing, psychic development, and meditation.

~ How can I incorporate Crystals into my everyday life?

   You can carry around your crystals. This way you can feel your crystals energy when needed. Place them in a little sachet or pouch and they are ready to go!

    Infuse your water with your clean crystals. This is a fast way to feel your crystals energy.

    Decorate your magickal space and/or surroundings with crystals.

    Meditate with your crystals. Just spend a minimum of 30 seconds with each crystal. Hold it in your hands, close your eyes, and feel its energy soaking into your skin.

The Elements and their correspondences

E A R T H

Earth represents strength, grounding, prosperity, the material, wealth, success, foundations, death and rebirth. Focus on this element if the goal of your spell is about fertility, prosperity, business or stability. Earth spells may take longer to work, but they’re also more firm and are good if you’re looking for long-term solutions.

GENDER: Feminine SEASON: Winter DIRECTION: North HOUR: Night

COLOURS: Green, Brown, Black ANIMALS: Bears, Deers, Wolves, Badgers HERBS/PLANTS: Ivy, Ash, Vetiver, Wheats, Oats INSTRUMENTS: Drums (Percussion instruments)

A I R

Air represents intellect and the mind, wisdom, knowledge; logic as well as abstract thought, intuition and higher consciousness. If you’re seeking freedom, travels, or to enhance your memory and focus - focus on Air spells! Air is whimsical and amiable, personally I haven’t found it useful for more serious spells, but it does wonders for my studies. 

GENDER: Masculine SEASON: Spring DIRECTION: East HOUR: Dawn

Fire represents energy, passion, purification, love, inspiration, desire, will, courage, power, leadership, sexuality. In spellcraft, focusing on Fire is good for purification, healing and love spells; it’s the best element for quick, strong spells. Although, Fire is fierce in essence, and Fire spells are susceptible - they should be well thought out.

Day one of practicing Astral Projection

I started with a guided youtube video since they help me guide my thoughts better and focus more on the task at hand. For 40 minutes of the guided meditation, I was able to feel my body turn into vibrations that I could control the frequency of (more or less and where it was located). I was able to feel my astral body moving but I was unable to remove my astral body from my physical body. I would say it was a pretty good first (actual) attempt. This attempt was about 2 hours long and I did not fall asleep.

I will start to do more path working in the day to make my astral projection easier and to help me with the spiritual world.
