<i>Sometimes when you feel like you have been buried, you have actually been planted.</i><br />

Green Witch:Is the practice of nature-based and earth oriented witchcraft, drawing on the folklore, folk religion and folk magic of ancient cultures as they connected to the forest; such as the tree worship of Druids, the kitchen craft of Italian witches or the keeping of sacred groves as presented in Gallic paganism. Green witches usually practice a traditional form of witchcraft in which the earth, trees, herbs, plants and flowers are consulted for their medicinal and magical value. They will grow their own herbs or Wildcraft them, and are very good at making herbal remedies. Belief in deities depends on the individual witch, though many Green witches acknowledge and earth mother or series of nature spirits as their deity. Usually, the spirits of nature, the dead (that of humans and animals) or the Fey have a large part in Green traditions. A form of green witchcraft which is better classified as Green Wicca was popularized by Ann Moura.</div>

Green (Garden) Witch is a practitioner of witchcraft whose focus is on the use of natural items and places. The goal of the Green Witch is upon achieving magic through communion with Mother Nature and using Her energies. A Green witch is very similar to a Kitchen/Cottage witch with the exception that the Green witch practices in the fields and forest in order to be closer to the Divine spirit. The Green witch makes his or her own tools from accessible materials from outdoors. A Green or Garden Witch, that works primarily with floral materials and flowers in their practice is often called a Flora Witch and one who works with herbs and other plants a Herbal Witch. </div>

<b>Did you know?</b></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: 700;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">-Cacti are some of the only plants to photosynthesize from their stems. Their needles are really just modified leaves.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">-Avocados are only around because people pollinate and disperse them by hand. The large seed is indigestible to small mammals now. It was originally eaten by giant sloths who would poop them out far away from the parent tree so they can grow. This is called an evolutionary anachronism.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">-Banana candy does not taste like bananas because it was designed to taste like the Gros Michel banana which was eaten in the pre-1950s. It was wiped out by a fungus called panama disease. Since bananas are asexual all of them are genetically identical making it easy to wipe them all out at once. However fungus is sexual so it evolves more quickly. This means eventually we may lose the modern banana, the Cavendish, to it as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">-There are actually three different types of photosynthesis: C3, C4, and CAM. Which type is used depends on the aridness of the environment, and are increasingly more efficient as listed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">-Moss is amazing. The fuzzy part of the moss is called the gametophyte stage and it is haploid meaning it has one set of chromosomes like a sperm or an egg cell in humans. If you look closely, sometimes you will what look like little tiny seeds on stems coming out of the main body. This is the sporophyte stage and it’s diploid, or has two sets of chromosomes, like our body cells. Moss is the oldest type of plant.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">-You can usually tell what animal pollinates a plant by the color and shape of its flowers. Red flowers are hardly ever pollinated by bees because bees cannot see red well. Butterfly flowers have long deep centers. Bird pollinated plants can bear weight and are wide and open. Bat pollinated plants usually smell strongly and are darkly colored.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">-Almost all American native elms and chestnut trees are extinct because of fungi. Asian chestnut and elm have replaced them, because they are resistant to the strains.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">-There is a type of fern that has over 1200 chromosomes. For reference, humans have 46.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">-If you shine consistent low level red light on a plant it will grow extremely tall, because red light tells the plant it is being shaded by and competing with other plants. If you shine consistent green light on a plant it will not sprout or die (if already sprouted) because plants absorb red and blue light to use. This is also why plants are green, because the unused green light is reflected back out.</div>

<b>Window Altars</b><br />
<br />
One easy way to create an altar is to take up a windowsill. Depending on the arrangement of the room you’re using, your personal preference, and the space available, the size of this type of altar varies.<br />
<br />
This generally small altar space can be good for witches in the broom closet and green witches who like to keep their altars populated with plant friends. Because it is literally a window to the outside, these altars are also great places for charging things like crystals, spells, and water under the light of the moon.<br />
<br />
Benefits:<br />
<br />
Good for altars that are heavily planted (hello, sunlight!)<br />
Generally discreet<br />
Keeps your altar space contained (for all us witches that do not know when to quit.<br />
<br />
<b>Garden Altars</b><br />
<br />
While pretty much any altar can include plants, there is something else to say for an altar that is almost completely plants. If you have some space indoors, why not design a witch’s garden that doubles as an altar space?<br />
<br />
A small tray planted with succulents with offering bowls and candle dishes set into the soil and crystals scattered around can be a unique, and even moveable altar! You could also use potted plants so that you can change the arrangement or plants out whenever you need a refresh.<br />
<br />
Benefits:<br />
<br />
Deeply connected to nature and the earth<br />
Pluck herbs for spells right off your altar<br />
Generally pretty moveable<br />

<b>Witch tips</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Remember to pay attention to plants as you would pets if you want them to thrive. wipe the dust off their leaves, spray them with water, spend time observing their changes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Growing basil in your kitchen wards away negativity.</div>
<div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-The best time to plant herbs is when the moon is in Cancer, Libra, Scorpio or Pisces.</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Garden Witch tip: During the season of May 1 - Summer Solstice plant a circle of Sunflowers during a sunset around the time of the full moon. Sow the seeds clockwise then pack the earth counterclockwise. You will be greeted by a rather pleasant energy.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<i>Gaulish - A practice that involves worshipping Gaulish gods.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Gaul (Latin: Gallia) was a historical region of Western Europe during the Iron Age that was inhabited by Celtic tribes, encompassing present day France, Luxembourg, Belgium, most of Switzerland, parts of Northern Italy, as well as the parts of the Netherlands and Germany on the west bank of the Rhine. It covered an area of 494,000 km2 (191,000 sq mi). According to the testimony of Julius Caesar, Gaul was divided into three parts: Gallia Celtica, Belgica, and Aquitania. Archaeologically, the Gauls were bearers of the La Tène culture, which extended across all of Gaul, as well as east to Raetia, Noricum, Pannonia, and southwestern Germania during the 5th to 1st centuries BC. During the 2nd and 1st centuries BC, Gaul fell under Roman rule: Gallia Cisalpina was conquered in 203 BC and Gallia Narbonensis in 123 BC. Gaul was invaded after 120 BC by the Cimbri and the Teutons, who were in turn defeated by the Romans by 103 BC. Julius Caesar finally subdued the remaining parts of Gaul in his campaigns of 58 to 51 BC.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Roman control of Gaul lasted for five centuries, until the last Roman rump state, the Domain of Soissons, fell to the Franks in AD 486. While the Celtic Gauls had lost their original identities and language during Late Antiquity, becoming amalgamated into a Gallo-Roman culture, Gallia remained the conventional name of the territory throughout the Early Middle Ages, until it acquired a new identity as the Capetian Kingdom of France in the high medieval period. Gallia remains a name of France in modern Greek (Γαλλία) and modern Latin (besides the alternatives Francia and Francogallia).</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Name:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As adjectives, English has the two variants: Gaulish and Gallic. The two adjectives are used synonymously, as "pertaining to Gaul or the Gauls", although the Celtic language or languages spoken in Gaul is predominantly known as Gaulish. Gaulish, a Celtic language once spoken across a lot of Continental Europe before being supplanted by Latin and finally dying out in the 6th century CE or so.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
-The Gaulish worldview is similar to those of the other Celtic faith traditions. There is very much the sense of an Otherworld/Underworld.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Reincarnation seems to be the post-life event of choice among the Gauls. But very specific in reincarnating as a human.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-The Gauls shared a common ancestry with whom Caesar called father Dis, who has been theorized to either be Cernunnos or Sucellos. Or perhaps father Dis is a different god depend on the region of Gaul.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-There are over 300 Gaulish gods!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Shrines aren’t necessary, but an altar can be extremely helpful. From a modern standpoint, all that’s really required of is something that can symbolically carry prayers and offerings to the gods. An ashtray/incense stand to facilitate burning, or even something as simple as a symbol to Cernunnos in order to invoke Him in order to Open the Way. </div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A Gaulish shrine can be to a certain god, to group of gods who are related in some way or as a shrine to the ancestors. These can be decorated in any way, if inspiration or ideas are needed just ask.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-The Wheel of Taranis. Taranis is one of, if not the most important god of Gaul. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
His wheel symbolizes the sun and the turning of the cosmos. The Wheel of Taranis has been used as offerings that were thrown into rivers and was also worn as an amulet.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here are some neat <b>Gaulish vocabulary words</b> to get you started with that you can use alongside your practice! These words are Recon-friendly, meaning they are taken directly from source texts.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dewoi = The Gods</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Antumnos = The Underworld, where spirits & the ancestors reside.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anderoi = The ancestors, are more often seen as a benevolent force that are happy to help. Sleeping over the grave/tomb of the ancestors would bring helpful dreams.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Galatis = Unmarried men in warbands who would go say hello to the neighbors (See the Sacking of Rome). I’ve used this in the modern context as an alternate name for Modern Gauls.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Did you know?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
’-rix’ is a suffix that denotes ‘king’ in Gaulish, an ancient Celtic language. The names of some ancient Gaulish kings include Vercingetorix and Ambiorix. The childrens’ book characters Asterix and Obelix are named in this style, but for it to be completely accurate Obelix would have to be written 'Obelorix’.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div><i>
As always we use English and sometimes Gaulish, the ancient language that was spoken by the Celts around the area of today’s Switzerland. Unfortunately this is a dead language, so all we can work with are scientific reconstructions (besides ancient inscribed texts, which have been found through archaeological excavations).</i></div>

Fire is hot because the conversion of the weak double bond in molecular oxygen, O2, to the stronger bonds in the combustion products carbon dioxide and water releases energy (418 kJ per 32 g of O2); the bond energies of the fuel play only a minor role here. At a certain point in the combustion reaction, called the ignition point, flames are produced. The flame is the visible portion of the fire. Flames consist primarily of carbon dioxide, water vapor, oxygen and nitrogen. If hot enough, the gases may become ionized to produce plasma. Depending on the substances alight, and any impurities outside, the color of the flame and the fire's intensity will be different.</i></div><div><i>-Wikipedia</i></div></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">Warmth, mystical, atmospheric. Fire is my element. Has always been. I have always been fascinated by it. I have my poi´s (the sound when you use fire poi´s.. ah) and I would really love to make my own candles. Fire is positive and lifting, but can be frightening if not controlled. When I moved to my apartment, I really fell in love it because of old stove that I have here. I dreamed firing the wooden stove every winter. But I haven´t used yet, not even once. This makes me sad but I have been so scared of lighting it because of the cats. I am afraid of them to jump on it and burn their little paws. I don´t have a kitchen door so...</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">
Fire is known by many to be the spirit or the soul. It is a giver of life and creativity.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Many cultures has been worshipping the sun and the element of fire. The sun gave life but also fire can burn it as easily. Maybe this reason fire and sun has been seen as a purifier, loosing all the old and bringing life to the new.</div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Fire can consume everything in it’s path and it is the only one of the elements that cannot exist without feeding on something else. It offers warmth and cooks food, but can get out of control. It has the power to transform everything it touches. It is the most physical and spiritual of the elements and represents magick itself. Fire is represented in the forms of burning objects, love spells (always preferably self-love spells), baking, and lighting candles and fires.</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As the spark of life, it is vital to any form of elemental craft. An element of emotion, it represents the good (love, creativity, hope, passion) and the bad (anger, hatred, ferocity, blood lust, frustration)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This element should be respected and all it stands for. Be sure it does not consume that which it should not, as a bonfire would catch a dry field.</div>

</div>
<div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Fire Grounding </b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- To be done near a lit candle, or by a safe bonfire. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Practice fire safety when doing this, and do not go too close to the fire! if no fire is available or safe for you, visualization is recommended</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Have a view/hearing of the fire to the best of your ability</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">Visualize:</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">The way the fire crackles and burns away at the wood or wick, the negative and stagnant energy burns away from you. it turns to smoke and dissipates into the air. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">The inside of you is dark and empty. there are only ashes left behind, pure and still.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">Each spark and flame fills you with new energy. the flames, their brightness and warmth replenishes and re-energizes you.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">From the ashes a new flame is kindled within you, and it lives within your chest.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">When you are ready, douse the fire you focused on in the appropriate method. you are not ending it, as the fire lives on it you, where its energies have spread.<br />

<b>Fire Witch: Enhance and Energize Yourself</b></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here are some simple tips to power yourself up for the day. (Or in general)</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
(Remember: Intent is very important)</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><i>
Light A Candle/ Fire</i></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Color doesn’t matter unless you want something special. Look into the flame. Allow the warmth of the flame and light fill your chest, your mind, hands, or wherever you need it. Remember to also take a deep breath. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This can also be used with open flames, like a stove, campfire, chimney, etc.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
(Follow safety precautions with open flames)</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><i>
Sunbathe</i></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The luxury of AC can sometimes numb us or throw off our equilibrium. Early morning sun or sunset is best. When bathing, visualize yourself glowing and acquiring energy. Stretch your body and shake off empty vibes.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Early Sun- Used for renewal or change. Allow your inner phoenix/dragon to wake up and warm up. Also, use the cool air to fill you, so remember to breathe in. This could also be used for Blue Fires that do not like the heat.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Afternoon Sun- Since this energy is at it’s strongest, use this for short periods of time. Can also be used to charge certain things quickly. (Wear sunblock if you plan to stay longer!) </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sunset- Use to charge up before going to bed, or to keep you going for the night. Allow this diminishing light to erase your stress or to let go of physical and mental weight. Embrace the last few rays of light and incoming stars. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Moonlight- Technically, moonlight is still part of the sun. Also perfect for Night or Moon Witches that associate with Fire. Perfect for Blue Fires to charge up on this cool and soft light. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><i>
Light (Electric, Natural)</i></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you don’t or can’t use candles, use lights. (Christmas lights, LED’s, lightbulbs, lamps, solar-lights, etc.)</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You can charge yourself up using different light sources. Might not be as powerful as the sun or fire, but it can work.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Decorate your altar, personal or holy space with lights and such.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Soak in the energy and vibrancy of light. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Use different colored light bulbs to match your tastes!</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Looking straight into certain lights can hurt your eyes, so close your eyes and use your body to physically feel the warmth and radiance. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><i>
Colors</i></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The very known colors of fire are yellow, orange, and red (Combinations with purple, brown, black, white or blue also work). Wearing or touching these colors can also give you a type of recharge. It can be used in blankets, bed sheets, towels, make-up, clothing, accessories, hair dye, body jewelry, etc. Believe that these colors can protect you and give you power. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you like to be creative, use paint or materials to play with these colors.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><i>
Food/Tea</i></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Known herbs associated with fire are: Basil, Bay Laurel, Cinnamon, Cumin, Juniper, Saffron, Rosemary, Rue, Pepper, Coriander. (Among others)</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Foods that are red, spicy, or bitter.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Preparing food with these herbs can also enhance your energy. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Or drying them and keeping them in your altar or around you also work.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
(Cooking food in itself is use of heat and energy. Use it to your advantage)</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><i>
Burning </i></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sometimes burning things can help you lighten your energy.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On a piece of paper, write down your stress, worries, or anything making you feel negative. Fill a whole notebook if you need! Or keep it small, this is up to you. When you burn it, release the negative emotion associated with it. Allow yourself to feel lighter and at peace.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Burn incense and run your hand over the soft, delicate smoke. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
(For more precise results, choose incense with meaning)</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><i>
Water</i></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Believe it or not, Fire Witches can also feel a longing for water. Warm water does a great job in helping you cleanse yourself or releasing mental weight. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Whether it be a warm bath, swimming outdoors in the sun, or even boiling water for tea, use the warmth and strength of the warm/hot water to help you relax.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><i>
Exercise/Meditation</i></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">Much like flames, our body requires us to stay active to allow energy to flow through us. You can go from extensive cardio, to simple workouts or stretches. Stand, sit, or lay down. Raise your arms, or legs, and stretch. Allow your blood to flow. Rub your hands together. Rubs your legs or thighs, arms, head, shoulders, feet. Fires use oxygen to grow, so raise your head and take deep breaths. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Meditate after stretching or vice versa.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
(Dancing to your favorite music works too!)</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><i>
Plants/Flowers/Trees</i></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They need sunlight and warmth just like we do. Plant flowers, herbs or trees. I personally love daisies. (Plus, gardening can also be beneficial in several ways to you, the earth, and life. Good karma all around.) Once your flowers bloom, plants bear fruits or vegetables, or when leaves start sprouting, touch them and feel the energy they radiate. Go to parks, botanical gardens, garden centers, or take a walk. Spend time with plants and really absorb the power they carry. I love to put my forehead on the flowers, without hurting them, and fill my need of energy.</div></div>

<br />
<b>Candle Flames and how to read them in your spell work</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
A lot know about Candle magic as far as candle colors, but some may not entirely understand the meanings behind the candle flame itself. And the flame has a significant meaning when doing any spell work, Divination, channeling, even just speaking to spirits or guides. But not just the flame, the smoke as well, and how it burns.<br />
<br />
I also see passed around that you must pinch out or snuff out the flame. Not blow. But I think it’s how you create the spell and the energy you put into it that matters most.<br />
<br />
•Clean, good, burn- a quiet, decent flame, without much smoke, movement, and dripping is a good sign. The spell you are working on will go as expected.<br />
<br />
•Small, steady, low burning- not as much energy is being used to create the spell needed. But this flame isn’t necessarily a bad sign. Try using more energy as you’re working on the spell. It will grow if the energy increases. If not, be patient, it may take a while for the results to manifest.<br />
<br />
•Small flickering flame- this flame may bend a bit also. Your timing may be off or the spell you are working at may not have an outcome that will workout for you. If it drowns in the wax it’s not meant to be.<br />
<br />
•Strong flame- There’s a lot of energy in your spell works and the outcome will be good and happen fast for you.<br />
<br />
•Dancing flame- high chaotic energy is behind the spell work. Large=potential complications Small=overwhelming opposing forces. There could be outside forces working consciously or unconsciously against you. Just keep an eye on the flame for further signs.<br />
<br />
•Flickering flame- If used in spiritual or religious work with God, Gods, Goddesses, Angels, Guides, then your invocation has worked and was acknowledged. It is also a sign a spirit is near. You may also use it for Divination and scrying.<br />
<br />
•A flame that pops- more concentration and energy is needed in the spell work. But outside forces may be working against you if it’s uneven. The popping and noises mean that outside forces are communicating or interfering. If you hear other sounds than pops, listen as it may be outside forces like family or guides communicating.<br />
<br />
•Candle goes out- This can mean only two things… one: an outside opposing force has ended it and so you should ground yourself and let it alone. It’s not going to happen. Or two: the spell or what you were working for has already been attained.<br />
<br />
•Quick burn- there’s a lot of passionate energy in your spell work.<br />
<br />
•Blue flame- A sign of spiritual presence, usually angels, and divine spirits.<br />
<br />
•Red or Yellow flame- smaller but still powerful energy is fueling your spells.<br />
<br />
•Candle will not light- The spell you desire to work on is unattainable at present. It’s outside of your control or may have already been decided. Not everything can be influenced by spells. Take some time to reflect on yourself on why you were stopped from attaining your spell work. Meditate, ground yourself, do a spiritual cleansing, do Divination and ask questions as to why you weren’t able to. After meditation, cleansing, grounding, you might be in a better mind frame to go forward with it again.<br />
<br />
•Flame will not go out- YOU ARE NOT DONE. You are being told to go back. You either missed a step, a message, something along the way and need to do more.<br />
<br />
•Dense Black smoke- Typically means negative energy. Meditate, ground yourself, and do a spiritual cleanse before continuing because there may be opposing purposes, forces at work, bad luck, and conflict.<br />
<br />
•White smoke- signs of benevolent spirits and blessings. Sometimes it comes as a puff of white at a certain moment.<br />
<br />
•Lots of smoke- The air element is at work with your spell. Watch the smoke to see if there are any signs for you.<br />
<br />
•Smoke moving towards you- A good sign that you will gain what you seek. The exception is hex, vex, and negative spell work. If this happens or it fills the room, this is a sign that you will pay the consequences for your spell and there is no escape. Threefold/karma is tricky. And truly there is nothing that justifies any type of negative spell work.<br />
<br />
•Smoke moving away from you- usually not a good sign in spell work as this means your loosing what you tried to obtain. But in healing and influence spell work, this is a good sign as it means everything is going according to plan. Watch the smokes direction, speed, and shape.<br />
<br />
•Candle soot- You can actually read into your spell work by the soot left from your candle and flame. Black soot can be a sign of negative energy or outside interference at work. You want to read the amount and the locations of the soot to tell you the outcome. If the soot covers the entire surface, your workings have been foiled and you’ll more than likely need to redo it. If it’s only on the top, the obstruction has more than likely been overcome. White soot indicates spiritual assistance and communication.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UcSy7xGHcis/YEtLGHZ-DgI/AAAAAAAAlRc/_DsYIWqSj3QEvZUoZYr0N-0bfpzTboATgCLcBGAsYHQ/s500/tumblr_4d9c12d0b9769c0b9e810436a68cf2e9_69b3d3b8_500.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="330" data-original-width="500" height="264" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UcSy7xGHcis/YEtLGHZ-DgI/AAAAAAAAlRc/_DsYIWqSj3QEvZUoZYr0N-0bfpzTboATgCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h264/tumblr_4d9c12d0b9769c0b9e810436a68cf2e9_69b3d3b8_500.gif" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div>

<b>Fire Witch Tips</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">-Birthday candles: if you don´t have access to large candles of every color then birthday candles are a wonderful substitute</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">-Tea light holders: another colored candle trick is that craft stores and dollar stores usually sell very cheap little tea light holders in a variety of colors that you can put plain tea lights in so that they act how a colored candle would in a spell(plus these are reusable and a lot cheaper than colored candles).<br />
<br />-Write wishes on bay leaves and then burn the leaves to make sure they come true.<br />
<div>
<br />-Candles have longer lives when they’re kept in the freezer.<br />
<br />-If you need a small boost of energy or a quick way to ground yourself on the go, carry a lighter with you and light it whenever you need. Draw on the energy from the flame to help you focus or do whatever you need.</div>

I have had that void in my life, the emptiness inside that says when you buy or do something with money, I instantly feel better somehow.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YnnO48oas1I/YEixIbjqGcI/AAAAAAAAlQw/ho4pJ0nDo9oPcDn_CXIpx7Uek3CA8DAeACLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/IMG_20200202_194446.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YnnO48oas1I/YEixIbjqGcI/AAAAAAAAlQw/ho4pJ0nDo9oPcDn_CXIpx7Uek3CA8DAeACLcBGAsYHQ/w480-h640/IMG_20200202_194446.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><p>Why do I have the reason consume stuff that I don´t actually need? I have been obsessed on Konmari and minimalism so much in past year. Maybe even longer, but last year has been great for me to think I do I need stuff... that I still don´t.. need..? Now I have the feeling I want to sell half of my stuff. I really don´t have the need to buy so much. And if I am gonna buy, I am really thinking do I need this, does this really add value to my life? Most of the time now a days, I don´t buy that stuff anymore. Which is really good. Because I think I am a hoarder. And a maximalist. Not a minimalist I would like to be. All tho I could be if I wanted to. Minimalism isn´t that you don´t have anything and you basically live in an empty apartment. No, you just own what you actually need and what adds value to your life. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Yw2QtdFiM4I/YEixQ0WGSaI/AAAAAAAAlQ8/s7mpQwWmN2U5w9TSbyS7XbwHod9kbE2nwCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/IMG_20200202_194514.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Yw2QtdFiM4I/YEixQ0WGSaI/AAAAAAAAlQ8/s7mpQwWmN2U5w9TSbyS7XbwHod9kbE2nwCLcBGAsYHQ/w480-h640/IMG_20200202_194514.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kYP7XSkNS1A/YEixQxHLAfI/AAAAAAAAlQ4/oPVaPNOXJg8Y4zFf5tAJPlQM82cJHNYNQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/IMG_20200202_194529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kYP7XSkNS1A/YEixQxHLAfI/AAAAAAAAlQ4/oPVaPNOXJg8Y4zFf5tAJPlQM82cJHNYNQCLcBGAsYHQ/w480-h640/IMG_20200202_194529.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-12JXre_i3IA/YEixRDjEQFI/AAAAAAAAlRA/kAGwZcw4TWEBgIrJI9JpHUsmvCdFUz4MgCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/IMG_20200202_194553.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-12JXre_i3IA/YEixRDjEQFI/AAAAAAAAlRA/kAGwZcw4TWEBgIrJI9JpHUsmvCdFUz4MgCLcBGAsYHQ/w480-h640/IMG_20200202_194553.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><p>My hoarding issues started when I was a kid. I was so used to going on fleamarkets and seeing my parents (mostly my dad) buy a lot of stuff. All of the newest stuff needed to be owned. We still lived in very cozy, neat apartment. Everything was clean and organized, but I somehow I still learned the way to buy more stuff. And when I was young, I was super lonely. I didn´t have that much friends so I just read books and realized I was a collector which was the coolest thing I could think of in that age. I collected rocks, comics, books, toys, post stamps, all kind of stuff. But that didn´t make me that happy.. it wasn´t what I hoped for. I was still lonely but I had my stuff. That continued in my adult age. Some reason I have 40 hand bags and 40-50 pair of shoes, I am not even sure how many I have at the moment. But too many.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xQ15LLaqUGI/YEixcRXmnlI/AAAAAAAAlRM/W40Q7upWwU8dXq4Ezsc0T0pCtuugs5aJACLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/IMG_20200211_141259.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="480" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xQ15LLaqUGI/YEixcRXmnlI/AAAAAAAAlRM/W40Q7upWwU8dXq4Ezsc0T0pCtuugs5aJACLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h480/IMG_20200211_141259.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p>When I moved to my little apartment last year, I realized how much stuff I have that I don´t need or even think that much. I had forgotten most of the things I have. Because they don´t have any more purpose in my life. Still I have them. I don´t just want to throw them in the trash, I would like to give some away maybe and sell. Because when I had my worst shopping desires, I have had borrowed some money from my friends so I could my more. And now I thought maybe I could sell some of my stuff and get the money for paying them back. That would be awesome. I am moving soon (hopefully), so I am gonna go trough all of my items again so it is really good time to do some inventory about everything.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OUQ9pOY5Bvg/YEixXqfF2OI/AAAAAAAAlRI/fM88TefkLT8lIeJRKiUVmFmYb1ghYOy-ACLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/IMG_20200209_192914.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="480" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OUQ9pOY5Bvg/YEixXqfF2OI/AAAAAAAAlRI/fM88TefkLT8lIeJRKiUVmFmYb1ghYOy-ACLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h480/IMG_20200209_192914.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p>How might your life be better with less? Is less more? In minimalism you think if you have less clutter (stuff in your house, stress, social media stuff etc) you have more time to think and do what you actually like and want to do. I really like that. Konmari (which isn´t exactly minimalism) says that you need visualize what kind of life you want to live and make that your goal in the progress of letting go stuff. Like, I like to do my daily exercises now a days, that would require some space and maybe certain equipment. And for that, I don´t need those other stuff. And for getting that point, I need declutter so I can get the space I need. So there is some motivation to do so. I really like the idea that I have room to show all of my meaningful items, I use only what I need, I have only what I need and what sparks joy in so many levels. I have room also for those new stuff that I actually like. Like music stuff. I would really like to have more stuff related to my hobbies.</p><p>So.. is less more to you, do you consume too much? Do you need to do some spring cleaning that is totally on the other level? What do you want to do in your life? Want to be more stress free and social?</p><p>I hope my new habits will help for getting there. I already feel less stressed.</p><p>Want more post about minimalism or maximalism? Let me know!</p><p>P.s All the pictures was taken last year after I moved. I thought it would be nice for you guys see how much stuff actually fits in here.</p>Leenahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07318376249141746902noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005871698448357077.post-51763990929568562892021-03-09T01:27:00.007-08:002021-03-09T01:29:03.920-08:00January and February / favorite things to do<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4gcoevEZQF4/YEc4IMYt9LI/AAAAAAAAlPo/PnkwprwRBc4Z9O5QXUAd3i0yf2Aa5Q1KQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1000/IMG_20210103_221717_2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="666" data-original-width="1000" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4gcoevEZQF4/YEc4IMYt9LI/AAAAAAAAlPo/PnkwprwRBc4Z9O5QXUAd3i0yf2Aa5Q1KQCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h426/IMG_20210103_221717_2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p style="text-align: center;">What to do when Corona is still alive and kicking?

I promised decorating pictures over a year ago, so it is about time... So, I live in a house that is 100 year old, little apartment that has my living room/work space/bedroom and separated kitchen. Today I thought I could clean up my living room and it feels so cozy at the moment. I have lived in a chaos almost the whole year and there hasn´t been this clean I think.. never. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">I have never been this kind of clean person.. you know, the type who keeps everything in order and clean basically every day. I would like to be though. And I am really having this crush thing about minimalism that has lasted for past year also. I wish I have the energy to sell basically the half of the things I own. I don´t need to so much, I have just too much.

<i>Faery (Fairy) Witch: An eclectic witch who seeks to commune with faery folk and nature spirits in their magick workings, spells and rituals. They have no organization or tradition and it has developed of its own accord through common practice. (Not to be confused with the 'Feri Movement'.) Usually, those who work with the fey may also leave offerings regularly, as thanks for the assistance of a faery in their spellwork. They tend to be lone practitioners unless they can find like-minded witches to practice with.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Faery witchcraft is a beloved relationship with one’s human community, but even more importantly, it includes the local plants, animals, streams, and hills in all their aspects (physical and spiritual), as well as the Gods who manifest through the land and through our flesh. Faery witches seek harmonious relationship with the land and people where they live. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At times, of course, seeking harmony may require conflict, as they are called to defend human or other-than-human beings in our community who are in danger. Faery Craft is a practical approach of work and collaboration with the Faery realm.<br />

<b>Fairy Folk And Their Kin</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

There are many types of fairy folk that are commonly experienced and fun to learn about. Here are few of my favorites I have tried to find for years.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Dryads </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dryads are the indwelling spirits of trees and are able to slip out of their at trunks and limbs at night, appearing as tall, tree-like white or gray shadows in the moonlight. They silently roam through homes, specially ones made of wood or old ones where rough wood was hewn for posts and beams. While inside a home, they may stand at the window peering out at the moon lit night, humming softly, getting a new perspective of their own wooded habitat from interior spaces. They are kind, gentle, and grandfatherly.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
How Dryads Help Us </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dryads want to keep the trees they inhabit healthy and looking good and are sensitive to all the creatures that depend upon them remaining well-rooted and stable, so they need our conscientious care and appreciation of trees. They do not like when limbs fall from the trees they inhabit and prefer that their human counterparts collect and branches and twigs that may fall (it actually embarrasses them or makes them sad to have their own dead branches beneath their canopy). Dryads appeal to us to help them maintain the base of their trunks keeping it all tidy and delightful, and will acknowledge our care for them in return by keeping us safe as best they can. Dryads will not allow the tree they lodge in, or its heavy branches, to fall upon homes or people if they can help it. And they often convey mystical messages to anyone looking up at them or caring for them in appreciation. Messages such as “It is time for you to move on in life,” or “Great change is coming.” Conversely, they will deliver messages you may ask them to send out, to change the weather or to send thoughts or warnings to loved ones.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
How To Attract Dryads </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Clear any underbrush and broken twigs or limbs from any trees nearby. Inspect the tree for damage, look closely at the bark and even place a rock circle at the base surrounding the tree to let your residential Dryads know that you are focusing on them and wish them well. Be kind to animals that live in their branches and don’t be too shy to talk, sit with, hug, or sing to trees that live among you. Try it and see what happens. These deeply compassionate, aged spirits are there to help us.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<b>Elemental Fairies</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The four elements are Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire, and they each have different attributes and personalities. So,too, do the fairies associated with each element differ in vast and small ways. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Earth Fairies </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Remember playing in the mud as kids, maybe making mud pies or getting covered in it, and feeling happy to squish it between your fingers and toes? Fairies of the Earth are at work underfoot; they’re the entities that govern the turn of soil, helping the insects and worms that keep soil aerated and healthy. They encourage seeds, helping them germinate, and then coax the roots, urging them to have bold confidence to claim the soil for themselves. Earth fairies are stocky with dark green,clay red, or brown hues. They have wings that resemble beetles, shiny wings. They’re dense in appearance rather than holographic. They’ll brush against your ankles as you walk, playfully tugging at you through the mud or pricking your bare feet with tiny sticks or thorns, just out of rambunctiousness. They are seen best in the gloaming light at end of day, as they like to catch a glimpse of the residential Fairy Queen who passes by in twilight.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
How Earth Fairies Help Us</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Earth Fairies know that we come from dust and shall return to it, and that all living things on Earth eventually break down into the soil, in one form or another. While we are alive, the Fairies of the Earth long to claim us as the Earth’s gravity and magnetic pull show us that our place is naturally the ground we walk on. They help us understand intrinsically that we thrive from the root up, and need a foundational base in which to grow truly strong. The electrons and healthy bacteria emitted through the earth have great health benefits to us, shifting our moods and regulating bodily organs. Children instinctively run outside barefoot, and adults should, too! Earth fairies want us to be and feel grounded, to receive the gifts from the core of the Earth into our own core, and their mission is to give us reason to stabilize our lives through real depth; they want us to take root and know we belong.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
How To Connect With Earth Fairies</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Go outside as often as you can and walk barefoot. Try to get your feet against the actual ground, and simply feel yourself there, your weight sinking in or being fully supported by it. Earth Fairies will be present as you are infused with pure energy in the form of electrons, receiving and connecting with the biological rhythms of your planet. And don’t be shy about digging, tending to gardens, and reaching with bare hands into the earth. You may not be making mud pies or sand castles anymore, but there are great benefits of getting dirty and standing upon or getting into the rich soil.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Nymphs </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you want to be at your utmost desirable, Nymph vibes are there for you. Sultry, sensual, sexy, and most alluring are creatures known as Nymphs. They get our hearts quivering as they tease us with their mysterious charisma. Enchantment and starlight appeal is their essence. They’re seen in quick flashes of light upon water, or heard at times as whispering or gentle rustling in the night, like pillow talk whispers. They’re shimmery apparitions of lust and their giggles sound like one who has known desires fulfilled. They may inhabit land, forested areas, rivers, trees, and even more cultivated areas of orchards, loving to roam on high in the groves of fruit or nut trees. Their loveliness gives wisteria and lilac their beguiling aroma.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
How Nymphs Help Us </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Similar to Mermaids, Sirens, and Selkies, these nature spirits express a sexual fecundity that permeates matter. They are shy but curious, playful and uninhibited in their seductive temptation and will charm you into your best, most captivating self. Fruitful, young, budding, and irresistible, they appeal to the passion within those they encounter. Humans may find themselves as if in a dream or with ravenous appetite for pleasure when Nymphs are near. Sitting quietly in the shade of a tree near a gentle spring, that sense of yearning and longing for love and fervor for life may peak within when a Nymph sets her gaze upon you. Nymphs want you to fall in love and have love.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
How To Attract Nymphs</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When you have a keen desire to be loved and to love another, Nymphs will draw near. If you wander through a wood or nearby a spring or brook, singing softly about love, Nymphs will hear you and follow. Where there is a desire for love and ample sexual tension, a Nymph is not far off. See and especially touch everything outside, the leaves (are they glossy or velvety?), the flowers (are they satiny or plush?), and close your eyes as you feel the contour of rocks and the limbs of trees. Everything is sexually charged in a Nymph’s world, and reacquainting yourself with textures is primary to stimulate your carnal nature. Nymphs wake you up to love making, and generously tantalize your basic sense of pleasure.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Hags</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These fairies look like old women, and the term is often used interchangeably for spirits as well as for human crones with magical powers. Folklore often holds them responsible for nightmares, and some stories say they sit on sleeping men’s chests, causing a feeling of immobility known as sleep paralysis. In other tales, hags transform themselves into beautiful young women and sneak into men’s bedrooms at night as succubi to have sex with sleeping mortals.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hags turn up in the myths of many cultures, as the Irish banshee, Eastern Europe’s Baba Yaga, and Japan’s Onibaba. Perhaps the most familiar hags in the English-speaking world are three witches in Shakespeare’s Macbeth, who chant “toil and trouble”. while stirring their strange brew. Although folklore acknowledge their powers as healers, sometimes linking hags with Hecate and the nature goddesses of winter, neither mythology nor modern literature has much good to say about these beings. Like witches, hags for centuries have been portrayed almost universally as ugly, evil creatures who consort with the devil and other demonic forces. This misconception may have contributed to the murders of countless human women and children in Europe and the American colonies from the fifteenth through the eighteenth centuries.</div>

<b>Meditation: Get Into A Fairy Reverie </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We want to have knowledge of our natural world, of the land, the stars, and the tides, but even more so, to revel in how it makes us feel as it powerfully draws us forth, to swim, to play, to immerse ourselves as we once did as children. We climb summits to feel a stronger, triumphant sense of self, and we explore caves to go deeper into what is not commonly known or experienced, Nature becomes symbolic of and entwined with our inner knowing and concept of who we are, and that inner knowing tells us the spirit of life is inherently one and the same as fairy life. It is mysterious and ethereal, likes us, even more than we are physical.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The realm of fairies is open when we allow ourselves a more fluid sensibility and acceptance of it, simply being in and with nature, to allow love to freely flow to and from our hearts, overriding our impulse to mentally control, characterize, and classify everything. Inhabitants of our environment beyond our textbook labels will tell us who they are if we listen and watch with a hint of expectation. This is not a mental process so much as an intuitive opening through creative, imaginative interplay with nature. However, this is not to say that fairy ways are only whimsical or trifling.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fairies are fun, yes, and jocular and frolicsome, yet in their way they are very serious, somber, and tempestuous. They’re as changeable as the weather. Inwardly, we know we must respect nature and the power within it to aid us or destroy us. Fairies are one with this natural momentum of the elements as we watch it do what it does. Fairies are playful and high-spirited, but not to be disregarded. As has been passed down to us through time, we know not to tick them off, these fairy folk- there is mischief in them when we do. They are not just passive presences, they are a prevailing life-force energy that we cannot deny, and yet they’re elusive. Being engendered into fairy wisdom takes a willingness to open and develop the inspired, visionary, artistic, and mystical mien of our human essence.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We need a little bit of daring and a lot of friskiness mixed with quiet awe to engage properly with fairies. Fairies are entities that baffle,confuse, delight, and even aggravate, agitate, and throw tantrums until they get their way. They are the energy of “the will to thrive,” and that’s spunky. Fairies are helping life prosper, by aligning with it to funnel beauty and longing and love into each living particle. Watch anything grow and you will recognize it; you’ll see tenderness, innocence, and also a dauntless presence of flourishing zeal. All growing life knows no other than to strive to prosper. Fairies are made of this abundant spirit of life. Look at a leaf as the sun bathes it. The leaf is more than willing to receive all it needs and ask for nothing less. The sun gives all it has to boldly give. This same simple determination to blossom, bloom, and triumph is fairy essence.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For this boldness, fairies are often seen as demanding and spoiled, full of spite if less than desired is given. Fairies , in their machinations, want what they want. A fairy will demand whatever it may need to survive and anything else it wants is expected to be given (for optimal blossoming, and more)- or else!</div>

<b>Gift ideas for Faery Witches</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-If you are an artist, a drawing or painting of a faery would be amazing</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Visit a gardening store and look at the faery garden section, they can never have too much decor</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-A faery tree ornament if they celebrate christmas/yule </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Research what kind of plants attract faeries, and buy one if they have the space for it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-fae statues </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Colorful stones or aquarium gravel for their garden</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-some faery jewelry </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-If you do choose to buy them a new faery house, please be sure its usable and has a working door, you’d be surprised how many houses are fake</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-A table and chairs for the fae to sit and eat or just rest</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Those little christmas lights for your room, faeries prefer dim lighting and also it makes the room look beautiful</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-a cute little sign that says something like “fairies welcome” </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-If they have a record or CD player, get them some calming music, or even music specifically for fae (yes its a thing!!)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-If they’re young at heart or just artistic, get them a fairy coloring book</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-crystals that attract faeries such as: clear quartz, rose quartz, amethyst, moss agate, and goldstone</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Faerie guidance oil</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Oil is to be used by dabbing a little on the third eye. It will increase your ability to sense the faeries and hear their guidance. You may even see faeries in your minds eye. Good to use before tarot or other divination techniques or before sleep to induce dreams of the faery realms.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Rose petals for attracting faeries and their loving guidance</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dandelion fluff for increased psychic ability</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Elderflower to produce dreams of the faerie realms</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lavender to attract faeries</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Daisy petals to create psychic awareness of nature spirits</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Chamomile for attracting wealth- essentially the spiritual essence of “shiny things” that are known to attract faeries</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Wormwood to induce visions and calling up spirits (Please add a very tiny pinch only of this, it is toxic in large amounts)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Rose essential oil for psychic visions</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Olive oil carrier</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
miniature jar or bowl</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In your jar or bowl mix your olive oil and rose essential oil. No need to go overboard with the rose oil, just add a few drops until it becomes fragrant. Mix your herbs into the oils and seal your jar. It will be fine to use straight away but it will become stronger over time. Leave out in the moonlight on the next full moon for added strength. Dab on the third eye when you wish to communicate with the faeries during tarot readings, divination, and meditation.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Faery Witch Tip</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hold a magnifying glass up to your eye to blur your vision to help you to better see faeries. Something about blurring the world around you makes it easier to sense their presence.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Witch tip 2</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you don’t want to attract the fae, don’t buy too much honey at once.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Witch tip 3</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Moon is the perfect time to connect with the Fae. The full moon awakens the spirit realm, strengthens intuition and deepens your connection to divine magick.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><b>Eclectic Witch</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>An individual approach that picks and chooses from many different traditions and creates a personalized form of witchcraft that meets their individual needs and abilities. They do not follow a particular religion or tradition, but study and learn from many different systems and use what works best for them. Many Eclectic Witches refer to themselves as Solitary Practioners, Sorcerors, Hedge Witches, Green, White, and Grey Witches. Some consider themselves Wicca, as long as the Rede is adhered to, the Earth and the Universe revered. One main complaint made against the Eclectic Witch is that they are not true Wiccans because they build a taylor-made religion or tradition for themselves from the ground up rather than following an established or correct form of Wicca. Their minds remain open and are receptive to knowledge, ideas, beliefs and methods that others practice. They adapt well to different situations and create their own paths by what they believe to be true and right at that time in their life (simply put – they don’t follow rules). They like to explore and make their own mistakes and take from experiences in turn creating their own rules and traditions. It’s why you can bring 2 Eclectic Witches into a room yet they are totally different in the way they practise, live, and believe as they are all different in some way.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am an Eclectic Witch. I have always been, it´s clearly my thing. But because I am also Wiccan, I kind of make my own rules. I don´t like people to say what I need to do so I decide it myself. And I am that kind of person who likes little bit this and that so.. this fit me. So maybe I make this post about in general witchy things because being eclectic means you are basically little bit of every witch type.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Side note: I am more of a pagan witch now a days, I believe in Finnish old faith/belief. I made this post like a year ago, oh how things have changed in that time. I still like a lot of things, but I have been more focused on northern beliefs, specially in Finnish. So.. still kinda eclectic.</div>

<i>The Earth element is the one most closely linked with our physical world, and the densest of all the elements. It is the foundation on which the other elements, and is a receptive energy, helping us to accept responsibility and bringing to our attention limitations in our makeup. It is represented in the forms of burying objects in the earth, herbalism, and making images out of wood or stone. Spells that benefit from the element are business-related spells, fertility-related spells, prosperity-related spells, and stability-related spells.</i></div>

Earth witch gets energy from trees, crystals and animals. Earth witches abilities are protection, strength, healing and wealth. Their strengths are being grounded, logical and hard working. They love dirt in their hands while doing gardening or their feet while walking in nature bare foot. They enjoy everything related to earth and nature. They are good with animals and have obsession with herbs knowledge and essential oils. Earth witches surround them with plants and like to use green as their favorite color.. in basically everything, like in clothing and their decor. They may have a some kind of collection of rocks and crystals.<br />
<br />
Even when I was a kid, I was fascinated by nature and everything in it. I walked in forests for hours and could just spend time watching trees and collecting rocks. It was a sad day when my mom threw away my rock collection. I still love rocks, but crystals have become maybe more important in these past few years. I love to do grounding, my head is always in the clouds (read my Air witch post), so it is very important to come down from the clouds and just be grounded. It even makes me think more clearly, helps me make better decisions even. I love everything green, I would loooove to have more plants in my apartment, but sadly it is just too difficult, my cat´s keep eating the plants and only room I can have plants, the sun brights too brightly and the room is very hot. But I try my best to have even something here. What is your favorite thing about nature? What you like to do the most in nature? I am going camping next week, can´t freaking wait, eek!! There is probably coming a post about it, so.. exited about that too!<br />

<b>Chant to Invoke:</b><br />
<br />
“Here and now<br />
I invoke the elemental force of earth<br />
I call to the swirling dust<br />
And dawn lit mountains,<br />
To the farmer’s field<br />
and all the swaying trees<br />
You that remains solid<br />
You that teaches of quiet stability<br />
You that holds us firm against your skin.<br />
I call your body here to infuse my intention<br />
With your boundless gifts.<br />
I call you here to fashion the spirit cavern,<br />
Root my will in your soil,<br />
and ground my purpose in the stones<br />
Boulder and gravel<br />
Redwood and rose<br />
Earth, I call to thee.“<br />

<b>How to connect with nature</b><br />
<br />
Make contact with the earth. Take a walk in the grass barefoot, hug a tree, plant something with your bare hands, meditate on the dirt.<br />
<br />
Have indoor plants. Not only do they freshen the air around you, but each plant brings it own unique benefits as well, such as mood boosters.<br />
<br />
Open your window and blinds. Breathe in the fresh air and take in your outdoor surroundings.<br />
<br />
If possible, do what you do indoors, outdoors! Even if you’re just sitting on a patio, you can still enjoy the benefits of the outdoors while doing what you need to do.<br />
<br />
Collect outdoor elements. Often I see witches decorate their altar with outdoor elements. This is a simple and effective way to better your connection with nature.<br />

<br />
<b>Grounding </b><br />
<br />
If you can, create a relaxing environment for yourself. Light a candle, shift position, stretch, get in some pajamas, set yourself up to relax.<br />
<br />
Feel your energy pool with each exhale. Let it graze the surface of your skin. Let it accumulate.<br />
<br />
Feel the ground beneath you. Where are you? Are you sitting with your legs crossed on a grassy hill? Are you stretched out in an armchair? Are you lying in bed? Are you on a train or in a car?<br />
<br />
Wherever you are, beneath the floor is soil. There are roots clinging to the earth, there are plants finding peace and solace beneath the ground. Picture a plant you love sprouting in the very place you sit. Is it a flower? An herb? A tree?<br />
<br />
Take another deep breath, keep going, feel the air in your lungs.<br />
<br />
You are surrounded by the atmosphere. A whole bunch of gases are protecting you from anything spooky that might be out in space. You are safe here. You are safe.<br />
<br />
Remember that wherever you are, you are on the Earth. You are a part of the world. Life thrives above, beneath, and all around you. You are alive.<br />
<br />
You are here, wherever you are. You are not in any imminent danger. Maybe you’re not okay right now, maybe you don’t feel relaxed and safe, but you are alive. Despite everything, you exist, you are here with everybody else.<br />
<br />
Everything will be okay.<br />
<br />
Take a few more deep breaths.<br />
<br />
Keep going until you feel a bit better. Go get a glass of cold water, if you can. Try to grab a snack if you’re hungry. Take a shower, even. Whatever you need to do to take care of yourself.<br />

<i><b>Dream</b> - (A possible variation of Hedge) Mindful and internal magickal practice mainly based from interpreting dreams and/or engaging in lucid dreaming.

Let´s get real here. I need a lot of sleep. Like a LOT. I also used to keep dream journal when I was a kid and now a days I sometimes write little novels about my dreams. I also could control my dreams, realized when I am dreaming and say "wake up" to myself while having a nightmare. Lucid dreaming can be very exiting experience and you can learn to do it. If you have trouble sleeping, you might try dream meditation tapes. Those whale sounds or rain kind. I have never tried but I could some day, that would be a new thing. I also want to try to put stuff (like crystals that helps you sleep or see certain dreams) under my pillow again and make some dream tea´s. Dreams and dreaming can be an empowering and energy giving thing. To me, it definitely is. Let´s meet in a dream.<br />

</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Always cleanse yourself after a nightmare. Dreams manifest energy so get rid of those negative energies and use extra self care the next day. Your mind and spirit will thank you 🕉</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
**For cleansing after a nightmare you may use lemon, thyme, and lavender water infusion, you can drink it or add it to a bath</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Place amethyst and scolecite under your pillow or wear them as an amulet to induce lucid dreaming and peaceful astral projection</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Trouble sleeping lately? Having anxious or unclear dreams?</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Open the window closest to your bed, and shake out your covers.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Completely changing your bedding is great, but I know it takes a lot of spoons to do that.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Shake your covers, beat your pillows, beat and brush off crumbs from your sheet.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This should clear up stagnant energy from your sleeping space and clear up your head!</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
-“Place lavender under your pillow while thinking of your wish. Do this just prior to retiring for the night. In the morning, if you have dreamt of anything relating to your wish, it will come true. However, if you did not have dreams, or if they were unconnected with your wish, it will not manifest” </div>

-Sea sand is amazing for dream work. Keep a jar of sea sand (dream dust) next to your bed to protect against nightmares and help guide your dreams </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
**add rosemary to help remember your dreams</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
*** add citrine for an extra anti-nightmare boost</div>
</div>

<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Herb sachets hung above your bed (request herb sachet recipes from me if you’re interested).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Hang Dry herbs upside down in your bedroom (Lavender helps for anxiety and depression… it is very calming or Mugwort for dreams. Mugwort is very invasive, you can find it growing everywhere).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Herbs placed inside your pillow sheet (Mugwort leaves inside to active lucid dreams).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Setup an Altar near your bed: add elements of earth, fire, water and air. You can also use your windowsill as an altar.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Place Black Tourmaline under your bed: shields you energetically by taking the electromagnetic frequencies, and instead of absorbing them, tourmaline changes, redirects, cleanses, and purifies the energy. This is how it handles negativity, even energies of psychic attack too!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Place Sigil writings or powders for protection and restful beauty sleep under your mattress.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Keep a dream journal under your pillow! Dreams can help us get a glimpse into our subconscious and the more dreams you write the easier it becomes for you to remember them.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Unless you are allergic, sleep with the window halfway open or cracked to let good energy move around and circulate in your room and keep skin hydrated during the night.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Drink herbal tea before bed each night. (Request free herbal tea recipes from me if interested) Mugwort tea is great to have in the evening before bed to reach high levels of lucid dreaming</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Smoking Herbs before bed is great as well. Book for further reading: Smoke Plants Of North America by M.R. Ross. (Request free Smoke Blend recipes from me if interested). With reverence, Rosemary Milk</div>

Becoming energised under the blistering heat of the summer sun. Substituting rainwater in spells for 10 months of the year and then forgetting to stock up when it does actually rain. So, much, eucalyptus. And tea tree. And lemon myrtle. Wandering through scrubland and feeling like you’ve hit gold when you discover a small rockpool. Hanging out in your garden in the morning with the birds who flock to your birdbath. Becoming intimately familiar with both the destructive and cleansing powers of fire.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "baskerville" , "times new roman" , "times" , serif;">Desert Witch is a witch who lives in the desert, enjoys the natural desert scenery, uses desert plants, bones, sand in their practice, collects desert rocks, and befriend desert animals such as snakes, lizards, and scorpions. They also tend to use the elements of Wind and Fire as well as Earth in their practice. They normally worship desert deities and study desert lore in their area. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "baskerville" , "times new roman" , "times" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "baskerville" , "times new roman" , "times" , serif;">To me, this has been very interesting witch type and I really liked to do the research on it. I really like the desert vibes and everything in it. Sadly there isn´t anything similar here in Finland. But I have my plants and that is good for me now. I wil definately keep doing research on this topic. You may see more today´s outfits and decor about it!</span><br />

While resources can still be abundant, we have to be conservative with our regents and things gathered from the outside world. Learning to trust, respect and understand the earth out here is much more vital and challenging as it seem to bite back with every step you take. The vibrations in the sands and rock are lower and therefore trickier to tap into. But the labor is worth it. When we are rewarded, it seems to be even more fruitful than lust farmland. When you´re actually tapped into the energy, you can feel her wanting to work with you, creating a give and take. I feel it look a lot like a monk sitting under a waterfall for training. Except it´s constant sun instead of water."</i></span><br />
<i><span style="font-family: "baskerville" , "times new roman" , "times" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "baskerville" , "times new roman" , "times" , serif;">"I use water in my practice and to me people think it can be though to use water in my practice because of living in the desert, no sea water, little rain water but I use tap water. I think most witches would be "appalled" because it´s tap water with all the chemicals and such but we have to use what we got. On the other hand I´m lucky that my tap water comes straight from a well so it´s straight from the earth."</span></i><br />

<span style="font-family: "baskerville" , "times new roman" , "times" , serif;">"To be connect closer to the desert I have tools, decor mostly from desert areas.

<i><span style="font-family: "baskerville" , "times new roman" , "times" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "baskerville" , "times new roman" , "times" , serif;">"My tools are fairly normal things for a witch to have... But I do try to only use things that are found in my area. For example I smudge with desert sage and palo Verde instead of the typical white sage and palo Santo. I do tend to stay on the sun side of icons as well. My altar plaque is a sun. My mask is sun themed. My athame has a gold handle."</span></i><br />

<span style="font-family: "baskerville" , "times new roman" , "times" , serif;">"Well the tools that I actively use are crystals, my copper mug (which I´m planning on using it as a cauldron tpye of device), paint and paintbrushes here and there, candles (which I just started to use).

When I moved to Phoenix I decided to find a smaller group to hone in my skills. At first, my magic almost flatlined. But the more I got out to see nature in the desert, the more enthralled I became with everything. The fact that so much lives on so little was really inspiring to me. I also started to connect to the history of the land and the natives that called it home before I did. </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "baskerville" , "times new roman" , "times" , serif;"><i>When I started to put effort in these areas, new doors opened up for me.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "baskerville" , "times new roman" , "times" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">A clear and sunny day (note: this spell is designed for those living in a desert.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "baskerville" , "times new roman" , "times" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">a place to lie or sit comfortably in the sunlight (be safe; wear sunscreen as this can take some time)</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "baskerville" , "times new roman" , "times" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Get yourself into a comfortable position lying down or sitting in the sunlight. Close your eyes and feel the sun’s intense energy on your skin.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "baskerville" , "times new roman" , "times" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Focus on the overwhelming energy and light outside of your body and bring it inwards, watching it burn away the shadows leaving nothing but raw sunlight across a flat plane.

So.. life happened and I moved. By myself. Just me (and my 3 cats, rip Minni). Oh my Goddess, this is still so weird. It has been a month and I feel super weird still. I have never been just by myself, it is a big learning curve. When I moved I realized how much stuff I actually own. Somehow almost everything has fitted here. I got a fleamarket table for 2 weeks (to get started) and I am gonna get rid of a lot of stuff, phew. </div>

First I slept with the air mattress that I got from my friend.. but it got broken so I got second hand mattress. I am sorry for the quality of the pictures, I took them with my phone when it was dark (mostly) because I forgot to vlog and take pictures when it was bright outside.</div>

I would really love to be a minimalism person, but I think I can´t never achieve that. Little part of me still hopes that it can happen but oh well.. maybe you should never say never. Like the marriage I had. I thought we would never break up. Things happen. It´s still rough, I keep myself busy and try not to think about it. But real world is still there. Trying to figure out who I am and what I want in life is super big thing for me. I want to achieve a lot this year. New changes are still coming. First of all I want to be single the whole year. Let´s see how that will go. I have never been single longer than few months.</div>

I have this image in my head how I want my life to be now and in the future. I feel that I am changing. My apartment look is even gonna change. You can see everything is basically black right. Well, in the future everything is going to be full of color. Gosh, I love my idea of bohemian, colorful, different kind of home.. which is still me. Just different side of me. You guys are gonna see so much decoration stuff in my blog.</div>

<i>Here is some <b>challenge</b> for you to do with me! I will post about my own progress while I am doing it. Find yourself as a witch!</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>DAY 1</b> - Take time out of your day to think about, write about, or draw what your witchy self looks like. What they are into. Their favorite witchy activity. Any details you can possibly think of.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-miUsb2imEFs/XdQYW0-ESNI/AAAAAAAAg-Q/S5kpTtPs4Hc2O_2IBJ0xv-PGy4UB-rZXACLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/75279252_560924211405755_5266253040226140160_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-miUsb2imEFs/XdQYW0-ESNI/AAAAAAAAg-Q/S5kpTtPs4Hc2O_2IBJ0xv-PGy4UB-rZXACLcBGAsYHQ/s640/75279252_560924211405755_5266253040226140160_n.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
<i>This took me 2 hours to make but it was really fun! I think I am gonna do this for my witchy type posts or something too. But basically I just love everything witchy related and the aesthetic. If you start to do this challenge, let me know so I can see what things you do trough this challenge!</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
DAY 2 - Take the day to meditate. It can be about anything or nothing at all. Let your mind wonder and do it’s thing. Journal about it and let things come to you.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
DAY 3 - BUY SOMETHING WITCHY! This challenge is all about self-care for you and your witchy self, so it can be as simple as spending a dollar at the dollar store or buying something elaborate online. If there is no way you can buy something, try to find something. For example, go to the woods/Park and try to find a mushroom for an offering.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
DAY 4 - Piggy backing off of day 3, MAKE SOMETHING JUST FOR YOU AND YOUR CRAFT. Like all of these days, it can be something big or small. You can make a set of runes or maybe make yourself a picture for your alter. Just make it for YOU!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
DAY 5 - Watch or listen to something witchy. Charmed, Practical Magic, listen to some witchy music, anything!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
DAY 6 - Spend some time in nature! Whether it is sitting on your lawn or taking a hike, or even a walk through the park, just take time to appreciate nature and Mother Earth and all she had given us.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
DAY 7 - Let an entire candle burn. I know this may sounds silly to some of you, but I am the type of person that struggles with this (unless doing a specific spell). So, just sit with your candle and watch it burn. Feel free to multitask while doing this. Just try to focus on it now and again. It can be a birthday candle or a very large candle, whatever works for you.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
DAY 8 - Make a special cup of tea. If you’re not a tea drinker, try a different kind or hot coco or coffee. When making, focus in your intent. When drinking, focus on all the different flavors you taste and sensations you feel.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
DAY 9 - Journal about the elements and what they mean to you.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
DAY 10 - Make a list of new worst things you can try. It can be anything like talking more walks or a new spell!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
DAY 11 - Journal about your deities/higher power. What they mean to you. If you don’t have any, then try to journal about the energies around you. What you feel and the power.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
DAY 12 - Piggy backing off of day 12, write down/find a new way you can honor your deities or energies that you journaled about. And if it’s possible, do it! It can be anything from a leaf you found to an elaborate meal. It can be simply praying.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
DAY 13 - BATH OR SHOWER MAGIC! This is pretty self-explanatory, but try to just take some time and take a magical bath or shower. It doesn’t have to be elaborate, or it can! Try to just focus your intent and maybe try a shower or bath meditation. There are a ton of different things here on Tumblr, so get creative!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
DAY 14 - Spell Jar!! There are a TON of spell jars on Tumblr and all over the internet. You can use those or make your own! They are very easy and great if you’re low on spoons!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
DAY 15 - Cook! If you aren’t able to cook due to physical reasons, or even lack of time, then try to eat something special. Regardless, cook or at least eat something that inspires you or harnesses your intent.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
DAY 16 - PRAYER! This is pretty self-explanatory, but try to honor and show your intent. Ask even, for guidance, hope, strength, whatever!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
DAY 17 - Sky watching! You can watch the Moon and stars or just the clouds go by.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
DAY 18 - Journal about what magick means to you. Go into as much detail as possible.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
DAY 19 - SIGILS! Make your own sigil! Focus your intent and be creative! If there is no way you can come up with your own, then feel free to use one from the internet.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
DAY 20 - Alter time!!! Try to redecorate your alter! If you are in the broom closet, then maybe draw one!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
DAY 21 - Journal about ways you can, from now on, nurture yourself. Whether it’s teas, baths, putting on makeup, whatever! Make lists or just woke about the things you want to do!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
DAY 22 - Worry Stone! You can find one or make one or but one, it’s totally up to you! Which brings us toooooooooooo……</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
DAY 23 - Cleanse and charge your items!! There are umpteen different ways you can cleanse and charge your items, just pick one! Please make sure that however you cleanse and charge your items, it is safe for them.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
DAY 24 - PLANTS! Take care of your plants, harvest a plant, buy a plant, even take some time to talk with your plants!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
DAY 25 - SCAVENGER HUNT! No, not literally. But, go find something that nature has given you. A mushroom, a leaf, anything! Place it on your alter and honor it! By honoring it, you honor Mother Nature and all that she has created. Including you!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
DAY 26 - Do a glamour!! This can be anything from enchanting your chapstick to make you feel loved or carrying a self-love charm bag. Get creative with it! Try to make your intent focus on love from yourself or self-confidence!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
DAY 27 -MAKE YOUR OWN SPELL! Literally, just have fun with this. Use your alter, use your journal entries and the internet and books! Get creative! Focus your intent and be specific! It can be low spoons or high spoons. Whatever works for you!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
DAY 28 - MEDITATE! Meditate about the past 28 days and all the work you’ve done! Think and focus on your craft and all the self-care you have worked for!<br />
<br />
<br /></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Dear darklings,</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">my rehabilitation <span style="background-color: #f1f3f4; font-size: 14px;">ended this week. I had my last check visit in Verve and I am totally ready for working world. That seems so weird. We talked about how much I have changed. When I started at Verve (place where they help you find your career path if you have physical or mental problems) I went there and cried every damn day. I needed a lot of help even with my cv. And now, I am at school and learning how to start my own business. I am making my own plans, by myself and that is something that feels truly great. 2 weeks has already passed, 4 to go. I am learning so much, I have so much inspiration and my plans has sharpened. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KlkhBf9iYTU/XZmnTQODrrI/AAAAAAAAg84/hRVcDtlWM8Aq_Run94P1wa561srBKANsgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/71476748_2457108914613925_350724499655622656_n_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1099" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KlkhBf9iYTU/XZmnTQODrrI/AAAAAAAAg84/hRVcDtlWM8Aq_Run94P1wa561srBKANsgCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/71476748_2457108914613925_350724499655622656_n_2.jpg" width="438" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I still have a lot of time before the company is really coming true, because of many things (that´s life), so I have been thinking what to do while waiting my dream to come true. I want to use my time carefully. Doing maybe something that helps me with my goal. I have been thinking about doing more school. Maybe marketing, because that I really love to do already, that would help with the company too. Or maybe freelance photographing. Maybe I fully focus on my photography project and book and do that. Maybe I put FAM on totally next level. Many options. I am glad that I am in that point in my life that I have many passions that I love and I can work with. I am also blessed with friends and a partner that wants to help and support me. I can do anything that I want.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZX2Pt4Z-PTE/XZmnTWJetSI/AAAAAAAAg9A/OlY1CZIuKlMJfl7B7pRPgSB7FjgIypx7wCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/71497439_413330142713360_6534648739200499712_n_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZX2Pt4Z-PTE/XZmnTWJetSI/AAAAAAAAg9A/OlY1CZIuKlMJfl7B7pRPgSB7FjgIypx7wCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/71497439_413330142713360_6534648739200499712_n_2.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Because all of that, I have been very inspired to help my friends to find passion and goals in life too. I have helped couple of my friends already and that feels great. Somehow supporting and trying to figure out what might be the path for my friends inspire me in my own life too. I feel great. If any of you have that same problem (it seems to be more common than I thought), let me know, let´s figure out something together! Only sky is the limit (unless you want to be a pilot or something) if you really dream about something. And it doesn´t need to be anything big. It could even be a hobby that you enjoy that brings value in your life. That makes you happy and balance the stressing work life. Or maybe you don´t work and don´t have hobbies and feel like you don´t have anything special in your life. I suggest you try things that even little makes you feel worth trying for. Maybe you will be good at it, or maybe you don´t. At least you tried, figured you don´t like it, or maybe you do like it and enjoy doing it. It doesn´t matter how good you are doing something, if it is the thing that feels well.. being your thing. So dear darkling, just try and learn and enjoy life.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Even my hair has a story. Well, mostly it´s orange/yellow because of the autumn and my love for it. But it also represent my inspiration and bubbly feeling for the future, and even how I feel today. All the excitement, all the inspiration, all the happiness. I feel bright and and very pleased. That is so rare to me that I want to fully enjoy this. And I want to show it and share it with others. I have gone such a rough path, lots of pain, lots of tears, lots of fear and letdowns. Still, I want to always be positive, reach my dreams, be the best friend I can be and inspire others. I want to be the person that I admire myself. Because you are the most important person in your life. You are the one that make the changes, you are the one that make the decisions, your are the one that is your own best friend. You need to enjoy your own company, love yourself and just be proudly, you. No one else can do that for you. They can help and support, but you are the one living YOUR life. You deserve the best. And by best I mean the quality, the value and being safe. And by that I mean little things in life that makes your whole life. Meaningful moments turns to memories you cherish your whole life. Happy and hard moments change you, you learn, it will shape you to be the person who you are today. It´s okey to feel sad, angry and all those that we seems to see negative. But remember to do shadow work. Accept your feelings, work with them and learn about yourself. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So, the conclusion for my rant this time, go for it, be you, do your thing. If you are scared, let me say, so am I. Don´t let the fear be in your way. You can´t be brave unless you are afraid (like it´s said in Lion King). And also, take care for yourself. It seems to be a thing that seem so easy and simple but we tend to forget that. I started to do some exercise again, I smoke a lot less and eat a lot healthier. I feel way better. Because of that I need less sleep than I normally do (I sleep like 9-12 hours per day). </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Today I am doing some photoshop editing, some school stuff and maybe doing some shadow work with a friend that truly needs it. I hope it helps and make things seem more clear (to me and my friend). Myself, hmm.. I have some anger issues. I don´t deal with my anger, I hide it under bitterness. And that´s not good. So I need to work with that. I can´t wait to see what else hides in the shadows of my mind.</span></div>

I have done it since I was very little. Mostly I did it with dead plants but when I grew up I started to notice some new things in the world, human spirits. I have never been afraid of them, but they have tried to hurt me at least one time (that I know). I used to see dreams about my dead friend (which I tell you more about in the Dream Witch post (up coming!) (edit. I talked with this friend via spirit board and she said she really did come to visit my dreams!) and I just today did a smudging in my apartment to get rid of one nasty spirit who has taken my energy past week or so. I have been so heavily tired I have needed to take naps every 3-6 hours. I can sometimes see and hear spirits but mostly I feel them. I feel cold air, I feel pressure from really bad energy, I feel emotions and I feel touching. (edit. I have a spirit in my apartment again, need to do some cleansing)</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: 14px;"><b>Death Witch things to do</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14px;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14px;">-Visiting natural history and art museum. Not only for the spirit work (museums are surprisingly rife with spirits) but also the reflection on the objects themselves that are imbued with death energy due to their age.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14px;">-Kitchen witchcraft with fermentation. I’m talking both home starters/yeasts and drink based fermenting! The process of encouraging fermentation is literally a controlled necromancy if you think about it! Also your own fermented product will be excellent to use in spellwork!</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14px;">-Upcycle crafting! The process of reusing items in a new way that you already had or seeking out items to use instead of letting them become trash is also working with death energy!</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14px;">-Playing death related games or watching movies with friends and family. Death witchcraft tasks and energy work doesn’t have to look witchy! If you have a weekly or monthly hangout where you play tabletops like Betrayal at House on the Hill or even online games. Or watch documentaries or movies with loved ones that related that totally counts! Especially as a lower spoon option.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14px;">-Drawing or photographing abandoned buildings/architecture. So often people forgot that the decay of manmade objects and places do hold death energy and weight. Tapping into this side of death witchcraft can be an interesting experience.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14px;">-Visiting a 24 hour store or restaurant in the middle of the night. Also walking through a store at 3am is a good time to practice a walking meditation or some simple spirit communication without too much trouble. Just have your headphones in for an excuse!</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14px;">-Learning to maintain your own compost! The cycle of your kitchen supplies life and decay is such a simple and deep way to access that death energy and maybe even work your way up to having that green thumb! Also using this compost in spellwork will pack a punch!</span></div>
</div>

<b>Rituals</b></div>

<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14px;">Death witchcraft can be used and interpreted in many different ways. But what one does with it is often very personal, different, and unique. Here are some rituals, spells, etc. that I found useful.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14px;">-Scrying with spirits </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14px;">-Divining the future with the dead </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14px;">-Grief spells and rituals</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14px;">-Passing spells and rituals - helping spirits pass on, or get “unstuck” when reliving their past is a very rewarding thing. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14px;">-Curses - death does not always mean bringing mortality to a living, breathing thing. It can be used it to smother success, disenchant happiness, etc. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14px;">-Rebirth spells and rituals - Release yourself from the past and start with the clean sheet.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14px;">-Communing with the dead - meditation can lead to eye opening encounters with the spirits of those who died before you. They have voices, and they will speak, even if you will not listen.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14px;">-Cleaning up, respecting the dead - burying bones or carcasses of animals is one way to respect and honour the dead (if they want you to, that is). So is picking up litter near a cemetery, or helping the grief stricken friends and family of someone you know who has passed. Learn what to say, and what not to, and read up on death, and its overwhelming history.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="font-size: 14px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Communication with Ghosts </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A baseline experience in warding/protection and spirit communication is necessary first. Also have an energy source other than your own ready for boosting the communication (offerings, crystals, charged items or water, energy jars, etc.) is helpful and polite as well.</div>
</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Find a place that works for you: cemeteries, old buildings, museums, crossroads, bodies of water, old growth forests, liminal spaces, personal ancestor shrines, old houses, etc.</div>
</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Start with a communication method you’re familiar with: Tarot, pendulum, shufflemancy, trancing, channeling, automatic writing, empathy/clair senses</div>
</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Let your mind unfocus- it doesn’t have to be true “clearing mind” that meditation methodology sometimes talks about. Letting your mind just wander is good too. Gently allow thoughts to appear but don’t dwell on them. Try identifying thoughts that wouldn’t be your own. Practice discernment.</div>
</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Record the feelings and experience. If you’re comfortable with it, push for more specific interaction with your communication method: “who are you?”, “where are you from?” “what do you need me to know about?” “what do you enjoy talking about”. It’s okay to just keep things organic and loose for the first couple times and not ask specific questions, just allow impressions.</div>
</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Be firm about safety and your boundaries. Don’t let the spirit take advantage of any discomfort you may experience. It’s always okay to disconnect the communication and come back later.</div>
</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Keep a journal regarding these experiences. Refer back to it to build relationships with repeat spirits and learn methods that work the most successfully for you. Feel free to use it to research background on deceased spirits when you aren’t communicating directly.</div>
</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Be respectful about privacy. It’s okay to share experiences in a general sense but you may include a question about whether you may share specifics about any spirits you interact with. However, be wary of any spirits that tell you not to talk about communing at all, that level of secrecy is suspect. Personal privacy (names, history, ages, personal stories, etc) are of course common courtesy to protect but your own success in methodology and emotions regarding the experiences should be your own choosing on whether to share, not theirs.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Skulls</b></div>
</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14px;">A skull may house a conjured ghost, and allow that spirit to speak through the body of the skull. Some sources will offer incense upon the skull to help this take effect.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14px;">Related to the first point, a sealing spell may be cast upon the skull to prevent it from lying or deceiving. This spell involves sealing the mouth with graveyard dirt and drawing an engraving on it with iron. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14px;">Skulls may be used to dispel or scare off ghosts. A libation poured from the skull of a black dog is used in one such banishing ritual. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14px;">Many rituals include using a skull to prevent one from grinding their teeth during sleep. Some believed that this happened because a dead family member tried to communicate through their relative in sleep. The sufferer may either kiss it seven and seven times, or kiss it seven times and lick it seven times, over the span of four nights.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14px;">Skulls are used as summoning ingredients and basis for the conjurer’s power. Sometimes, an incantation will be spoken over a skull. Other times, a libation or conjuring oil will be spilt over the skull.</span></div>

</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14px;">Most of these herbs, flowers, and crystals are used for protection or guiding spirits. So you may be asking, why do we commonly leave coins are an offering? Well, most speculate this is due to the Charon. In Greek and Latin literary, the Charon is the ferryman who guides souls into the afterlife from the land of the living. The coins are offerings to him to help guide the spirit.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: 14px;"><b>Self Care for Death Witches</b></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14px;">-Take a cleansing bath. Sometimes working with death energy can take a toll on your energy levels, as well as potentially attract death into your life (especially if it is surrounding you on a daily basis). Every two weeks or so, it’s a good idea to clean up your aura and spirit using a ritual shower or bath. For a bath, toss in 1 cup of epsom salt, and ½ cup of baking soda, and then use any safe essential oils to add a little magical boost. This combination will cleanse you physically of any toxins, and also spiritually. Do not soak for longer than 20 minutes, and it is generally said that every 2 weeks is the best timeframe between this ritual. I use lavender oil and mint leaves to really clean and protect myself. Be sure to research the affects of herbs, especially in regards to your physical state and taking into account medications you consume. For a shower, let the water run over your whole body. Then, soak a loofa or hand towel in a mixture of epsom salt, baking soda, and essential oils or herbs (again, do this safely). Softly scrub your body, and rinse yourself off again.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14px;">-Take naps. This is a very important tip, especially for those of you who work primarily at night. Find a good time for you, and try to consistently get enough sleep. It’s important to stay well rested to keep your energy up and your physical body healthy.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14px;">-Spend time doing what you love. Don’t neglect things you enjoy to focus your whole being on death witchcraft. If you like to sew, paint, write, solve equations, cook, or whatever else, make time for it. Doing something mundane is very essential to keeping you from getting burnt out on your practice.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14px;">-Eat. I mean it. I find myself forgetting to eat an awful lot when I immerse myself in death witchcraft and necromancy. I don’t know if it’s just because I am super busy or because I am focusing too much on spiritual needs instead of physical ones, but it isn’t good for you. Eat at least 3 meals, and drink lots of water!</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14px;">-Listen to your body. If it’s telling you it’s tired, hungry, thirsty, or in pain, you shouldn’t ignore it. This is something I really need to remember. Sometimes I think practicing death witchcraft is more important than focusing on my physical needs, but it isn’t black and white like that. Both are important, and I should really realize that if I don’t take care of myself now, I won’t be able to practice later.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14px;">-Relax. Take a moment and meditate, or just sit with crystals, candles, water, or whatever calms you. Recharge your batteries. This is really vital for those of you who use a lot of your own energy for spells, spirit communication, and more. I like to listen to music that makes me feel like a death witch (playlist is on its way to a blog near you).</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14px;">-Spend time in places you find fulfilling. I like graveyards, I like hospitals. I like places where death is prevalent because it helps me get acquainted with the thought of death. If this is you, too, then go to those places.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14px;">In certain traditions, the gatekeeper is said to be the first spirit who was buried in that cemetery. The gate keeper is a guardian of the dead, of sorts, who help other spirits and keep the graveyard powerful and contained. Sometimes they reside in a vessel, and sometimes they roam around. For spirit workers such as death walkers, they may help lead you to troubled spirits or spirits they’d like you to help.</span></div>

I had my own first retreat with my witchy friends this weekend, I feel all balanced and I want to share the feeling with others.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
How do you feel today? Like I said about in Cottage Witch post, do you take care about of castle, your home, now I ask, do you take care of YOU? Sometimes we are so busy we don´t have time for ourselves and our body and mind aren´t in balance anymore. Even if you already feel quite good, it is really important to take care of yourself, to do some self care. Loving our best friend (that is you) is the most important thing. It doesn´t need to be anything big and expensive, do things that you actually enjoy. Here is few things I do when I feel little bit down, stressed out or just when I want to pamper myself. Every little small thing you do for you, is important.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You can use things that are supposed to use in love spells, to make your own self love feel more effective. If spells doesn´t work for you, you can make a love altar or a little magick pouch full of love related things in it. And why not even make a witch ball? Get crafty! Use them in your kitchen, use as incense, hold a crystal, anything that works for you.</div>

Crystal witch things: keeping crystals in your pockets, crystals sitting on your windowsill under the moonlight, crystalline light reflections.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am not going to tell what every little crystal will do, internet is full of information. But I am going to tell some basic things about crystals that you might want to know. I, myself, use crystals in healing, while I am dreaming (for various reasons, like getting rid of nightmares or many healing reasons), I use them while I bathe, because you can use them to cleanse and bring things in your life you need, I use them while meditating and also when I feel very anxious and to get calm. My amethyst in my wedding ring is of course always in use for protection of negative energy and keeping my own emotional energy in balance. It is said that in lot of use the amethyst will fade but past 7 years it is still very purple. Of course every crystal jewelry is always handy (and oh so pretty!) in regular use.<br />

<b>Crystal grids</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What is a crystal grid?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Simply put, a crystal grid is an arrangement of crystals that helps set, focus, and amplify intentions </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What can a grid be used for?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-There are several things you can use a crystal grid for</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1. To increase the power of your crystals</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2. To cleanse and/or charge your crystals</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3. Create protective boundaries</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
4. Raise the vibration of your space (good for work flow or meditation) </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
5. To bring in luck, happiness, wealth, love etc. (any intention you can put into a spell, you can put into a crystal grid) </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Different Parts of a grid </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Perimeter</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
–an optional outer ring of stones that are used to protect your grid. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Desire Stones</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
–Gather the energy of your stones and send it out into your space</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Way Stones</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
–Organizes and modifies the energy set by the focus stone</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Focus Stone</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
–Usually the stone in the center of the grid, sets your intentions<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>How to cleanse your crystals</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Water</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-You can leave your crystals under running water and visualize water taking away all the energies that no longer serve the crystals.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-You can put them in a bowl with salt and leave them outdoors under the sunlight and the moonlight for three days. Then, you wash them with running water. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you want, you can consider in which phase the moon is and leave them under its light to charge them with the energy you are looking to work with:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Waxing Moon: Activation</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Waning Moon: Receiving</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Full Moon: to amplify the energy and bring light and awareness to situations</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-New Moon: Fill them with potent energy. Positive vibes and manifestations.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Earth</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- Lay your crystals on the earth or bury them. If you have pointed crystals, you can hammer them into the earth. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Air</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-You can use the smoke of incense or burning herbs to cleanse your crystals (sage and lavender are great for this). The smoke of charcoal disks, or copal resins is also useful for this.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fire</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-You can quickly pass your crystals through a candle’s flame. If you choose to do this, make sure you do it fast so crystals do not overheat. Please be careful, SAFETY FIRST!!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-There are lotions, oils, and sprays that are specially made to cleanse and purify the energies of a space, or people. You can use these to give your crystals a quick cleanse and recharge.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Other crystals</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The vibration of other cleansed and charged crystals can help to reprogram or cleanse your new crystals. You can put some (or all) the crystals you already have in a plate, and place your new crystals on top of them. You can leave them for a few hours or days.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are some crystals (like calcite, selenite, and pyrite) that cannot be submerged in water or be cleansed with salt. Crystals like amethyst should not be left under direct sunlight.<br />

<b>Witch Tips</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Rose quartz is a great stone to have when bathing/showering. It helps cleanse one emotionally while being cleaned physically, it also brings a light airy feel to the atmosphere and the water can help cleanse the stone itself as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Bonus- if you worship Aphrodite it’s a good way to honor her, being a love goddess closely associated with water, and rose quartz is a love stone.<br />
-Don’t leave your crystals directly in salt, this can erode them very easily. Instead place them in a bag first or on a plate over the salt.<br />
-Never leave them in water or create elixirs with them. This will erode and cause them to dissolve, if crystal water is your goal, place the crystals around the water or on top of the lid, or once again, place them in a bag first. (Definitely don’t consume water that has been in contact with the crystals either, as they can be highly harmful.)<br />
-Be very careful, or avoid using them with children and animals entirely, this can be very dangerous as they can easily get swallowed or choked on, as well as being toxic to the little guys.<br />
-When placing them in a safe space in times of being unused, you may want to keep similar crystals and stones nearer each other rather than mixing them with opposing vibrations.<br />
-Keeping in mind that some crystals are receptive as others are projective, their vibrations can be quite opposing as well, this can be a hassle when making grids or incorporating many crystals into a ritual or spell, so always be knowledgeable of your crystals!</div>
<div>
-If you have any of these: Aquamarine, Turquoise, Pyrite, Ruby, Moonstone, Lapis Lazuli, Halite, Garnet, Fluorite, Amazonite, Desert Rose, Gypsum, Talc, Calcite, Angelite, Malachite, Witherite, Cinnabar, selenite, celestine<br />
PLEASE DO NOT PUT THEM IN WATER. The bolded ones are especially dangerous as they release toxins when exposed to water!<br />
-Keep your amethyst out of the sun while charging it (it will fade), instead use moonlight (you can also put a circle of salt around the crystal. Do not put the salt on the ground, use plates etc).<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "baskerville" , "times new roman" , "times" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><i><b>Cottage / Hearth</b> - (A slight variation from kitchen) Magick that is weaved, worked, or someone who is into mundane tasks around the house or for loved ones. Cottage/Hearth magick may be worked into daily tasks such as cleaning, cooking, or any hobbies. </i></span></span><span style="font-family: "baskerville" , "times new roman" , "times" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><i>A Cottage Witch is a witch whose magickal practice focuses mainly on the home, similar to a Kitchen Witch but with less of a specific food/kitchen focus and more of a general home focus. A Cottage Witch considers her home sacred space and housekeeping a sacred act. A Cottage Witch may follow any religious or spiritual path or none.</i></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "baskerville" , "times new roman" , "times" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><i><br /></i></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "baskerville" , "times new roman" , "times" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Do you respect your home? Do you take care of your home? Home is our sacred place, where we let in only the ones we want to. It is our safe haven from the world outside. It is the place where we spend most of our time and we should make it to feel our own, make it feel that the word "home" has an actual meaning.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "baskerville" , "times new roman" , "times" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><i><br /></i></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "baskerville" , "times new roman" , "times" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">What to tell about Cottage Witch? It´s my jam. Like Kitchen Witch is also, I made another post about Kitchen Witchery, so just wait a while for more information if this interested you. Anyway, what Cottage/Hearth mean to me, is my basic lifestyle. You can be a cottage witch no matter what kind of place you live, you can live in a mansion or in a tent, it´s all fine. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "baskerville" , "times new roman" , "times" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "baskerville" , "times new roman" , "times" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">I am not that ritualistic witch, I like to do little things in my life that has magic in them while making it, such as cleaning and decorating my home. So my rituals are in the making, in living, in every day life. I think our kitchen is very magickal and I do a lot of cooking and baking, I dry herbs and I want to kitchen to be the heart at my home. I have little kitchen altar (I also have bigger altar in the bedroom, which I use in my rituals and I decorate to match each Sabbat) and I believe in home deities and I often leave gifts for them. I love feng-shui, I need to do more with it again, I need to put it on my to do list... I think it is very important to keep things in your life that only brings you joy or you actually need. When everything has it own place and things are in certain order, the energy in the home will flow more fluently. It will effect on your mood and energy level. It also makes you stress less.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "baskerville" , "times new roman" , "times" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "baskerville" , "times new roman" , "times" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">So make your home your own, care for it, so you can also care for you too.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "baskerville" , "times new roman" , "times" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "baskerville" , "times new roman" , "times" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Kitchen witches believe that the kitchen is a sacred place where all of the magick happens. They focus on the use of edible ingredients and kitchen tools. A cottage witch is a witch that brings magick into the house and are protectors of the hearth and home. They bring cheer and warmth to every room they enter. Their focuses are on the family, home, and daily needs. Both the cottage and Kitchen witch believe that by honoring the home it honors the Gods and Goddesses. They bring magick into everyday life and daily chores.</span></span><br />

<b>Cottage Witch Tips</b><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
For those among us who, value the simple little things we can do to keep our homes and hearths happy, healthy, and still magical!<br />
<br />
• Make a spray of salt, water, vinegar, and herbs you associate with protection (pepper, lemon, and rosemary- and a variation of Thieves oil, if you’re interested in also cutting down on germs and such) to use when cleaning to add a magical boost to protecting your home.<br />
• Through many of us don’t have the traditional old school hearth setup, I like to light a candle to symbolize the hearth fire burning in my home. I use this ritual to honor my gods and their presence in my home. This also helps me feel connected to the hearth fires of old and to all those who came before me, allowing me to be here.<br />
• Timing your chores with moon cycles can be an effective way to get witchy and remember to actually do certain chores, which we all forget from time to time (no? Just me? Alright then.)<br />
• Enchanting your throws, blankets, and miscellaneous comfy things to be loving, comforting, and reassuring for those who need it is always a nice touch.<br />
• Making a charm for a healthy, happy, and protected home! I made a little witch ball out of a plastic Christmas ornament and some items that matched my intent and it’s been good.<br />
• Don’t underestimate the magical nature of mundane chores. Sweeping? I like to visualize that I’m sweeping out all of the gross energy and vibes along with the grime. Vacuuming? Same deal. Airing out the house? Inviting in clear and flowing energy. As long as you make it meaningful, it is.<br />
• If you’re into home decor, switching out wreathes and interior decorations is a good way to stay in tune with the feel of the season.<br />
• Warding your home! This can take many forms, such as a witch ball, wind chimes, a rock guardian, or whatever else you see fit!<br />
• Adding charged water to your cleaning supplies can really help intent and usher in the seasons. I like to use solar water with some lemon to welcome in the spring and summer and moon water with some chai spices to welcome in fall and winter. Some people like to use this method for a magical mopping scenario, I just use it for the front door.<br />
• Laundry magic is real, y'all. Even if you don’t make your own detergent or fabric softener, you can buy scents that correspond with certain intents (citrus for joy, lavender for relaxation, etc).<br />
• I enjoy working my crystals and plants in my home decor. Our little rock and plant friends are great for keeping a home feeling happy and healthy. They raise the energy of the home, but also make it a bit more inviting in feeling and appearance.<br />
•Stir your food clockwise to banish negative spirits.<br />
<div>
•When cleaning, sprinkle salt on the floor and go do something else. Come back to the salt after a while and sweep, so that all the negative energy is gone.<br />
•Put dried rosemary in your home to purify and cleanse the space.<br />
•Need your fridge to stop smelling bad?<br />
Leave a saucer of baking soda on the bottom shelf to absorb odor or cut a lemon in half, stab the halves with a fork a few times, place both halves in the fridge. It will absorb all those nasty smells!<br />

<i>Litha (Date: on the summer solstice, Jun 20-23)</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>A Sabbat for celebrating the longest day of the year, as well as for mourning the shortening days after. Some Witches burn bonfires or light candles to represent the Sun.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Litha (pronounced “LEE-THA”) is known also as the Summer Solstice, and Midsummer. It is a Sun and fire festival that marks the longest day and shortest night of the year. In the Wiccan Wheel of the Year, the height of the summer and the height of the God’s powers are celebrated on Litha. It is one of the Germanic festivals of the year and was most likely not observed by the Celts. The Christian holiday of St John’s Day coincides with the summer solstice, its date is the 24th of June. The summer solstice is still widely celebrated in Sweden, where it is known as Midsommar. In Finland we have Juhannus. This is my first Litha post so I will give you bunch of information.<br />
<br />
This years Litha was amazing, we were in sauna every night, ate so much I couldn´t move, I practiced my poi (fire thing) tricks, I cleaned, took pictures, we listened music, I read books, did some sketchings, picked flowers and made a flower crown and we just enjoyed our surroundings and chilled. Sometimes you don´t need much, you don´t need to talk. You just need to smell, see and feel the summer and nature vibes. I picked so much things to our trip but ended up doing nothing in the end most of the time. I couldn´t have been any more happier. I wish I would be still in our little cabin in our little island. I hope we get there soon again. Try not to be without your phones, computers or tv´s for a while, you end up being happier. Connect with the Mother Earth, I bet you will enjoy it.<br />

<b>Historic Litha/Summer Solstice Traditions:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Traditions in ancient/pre-Christian Rome:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the run up to and during the Summer Solstice, ancient Romans celebrated and honored the goddess of the hearth, Vesta, during an aptly named festival - Vestalia. During this festival, alongside generic merriment (eating and drinking), women would leave offerings for Vesta in her temples hoping to bring blessings to their families.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Traditions in ancient/pre-Christian Greece:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

Around the Summer Solstice a festival named Kronia was held to honor and celebrate the god of agriculture, Cronus. It was a time of merriment and feasting, and during this time the social structures of Greece were flipped on their head: slaves were not required to fulfill their duties as slaves and were allowed to enjoy the festival alongside those of higher standing. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Traditions in ancient/pre-Christian Europe: </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In Europe, it was customary in many faiths and religious circles (including Slavic, Celtic, and Germanic) to celebrate the Summer Solstice with bonfires. Bonfires were believed to bolster the energy of the Sun and ensure a bountiful harvest come the end of the harvest season. The fires were believed to drive away and banish negative energies and evil spirits. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Bonfires</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the UK, bonfires used to play a central role in the celebration of the summer solstice and St John’s Day. The etymology of the word “bonfire” is unclear. Possible origins are “bone”, “boon” (a gift of goodwill), “bane”, or the Old Norse “baun”, which means “beacon”.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In 14th century Shropshire, three fires were lit on Midsummer Night:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A bonfire made out of bones</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A wakefire made out of wood</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A St John’s fire made out of both</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The bonfires were for protection and luck, since crops are especially vulnerable to diseases and bad weather at the time of the festival.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Wheel of Fire</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another tradition at the summer solstice is the Wheel of Fire. A haystack was lit and rolled down a hill. If it burned all the way down, a good harvest was to come. A text from 4th century France first mentions the custom. By the 19th century, it was widespread in Europe. (Here is a short video of a similar German tradition that gives you an idea of what it looks like.)<br />

<b>Plant Magic</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Litha has always been a potent date for plant magic. St John’s Day celebrations often included processions were flowers were carried. In 16th century London, doors were decorated with birch twigs, fennel, St John’s wort, orpins, and white lillies.</div>

<b>Activities: </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Take a bath with gold/yellow bath bombs or corresponding herbs and flowers. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Sunbathe.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Leave offerings for the Fae. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Try divination using fire scrying. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Meditate in the morning (or when ever)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Listen to happy music</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Light yellow and orange candles</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Make rose oil</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Pick flowers and herbs</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Bake a cake, cookies or make other sweets</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Eat them with your loved ones</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Surround yourself with light</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Wear or make flower crowns</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Cleanse your room/home with light</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Clean out cobwebs</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Admire Summer: Whether it’s a hot, bright summer day or a summer storm, enjoy the Solstice! Stop to smell the flowers, bask in the weather and full bloom of nature, or just enjoy the longest day of the year. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Make a fire when it’s dark (or light a candle or incense if you can’t do that). As Fire is the primary element, simply lighting a candle is a great way to celebrate! Some choose to light it during the day and allow it to burn throughout the day. But it is way better to watch your fire and not get your place on fire, so don´t leave your candles alone! Praying to the candle is another aspect to consider. Bonus if you a light a candle that is made from beeswax!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Use Summer herbs.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Color-coordinate and accessorize: Yellows, oranges, and other similar summer colors are a low-key way to celebrate. Wear these colored clothing or accessories in celebration. If you have accessories or clothing that have butterflies, bees, other pollinators, and birds, even better! Got sun-theme jewelry? Also good! Wear warm colors or any bright color that makes you happy and what makes your own light shine!</div>
<div>
<span style="text-align: justify;">-Watch the sunrise/sunset: Many suggest watching the sunrise on Litha, and others say watch the sunset. Your choice! Just enjoy the beautiful colors and scenery of a sunrise/sunset.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Focus on yourself: Figure out what you want to let go. We’re 6 months in and it’s time for a review. Are you happy? Are there things you can let go of? Take the time to review yourself, your path, and your life. See what you want out of your life and make a plan to achieve it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Celebrate love: Love yourself, your family, your friends, and/or your partner. Single? Say a prayer to search for love. Cast a love-magnet spell, or a self-love spell. Hell, do some divination on the topic of love (romantic, platonic, and/or familial) Most importantly, express your love. Do things that promote self-love. Tell your family, friends, and/or partner you love them. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Do something outside! Litha is the longest day of the year, so go into nature and spend some of those hours doing something you enjoy. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-If you have an altar, decorate it to celebrate. Use the symbols and colours and other things listed in this post to decorate your altar for the sabbat.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Have a bonfire! You can have a big one, or a little one, but bonfires have been a big part of celebrating Litha for as long as we know. The bonfires are cleansing, energising and purifying.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Leave out an offering (food, drink, flowers) for the local spirits near the fire.</div>

<b>Things to enjoy while celebrating Litha:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Sunshine, sun flowers, bright clear sunny blue skies, cold lemonade, soft yellows, candied lemon peels, bubbles and sparkles in the air and dandelions. Water balloons and hot air balloons. Honey bees and warm breezes</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Bonfires, sparks, barbecue, flame dancers, roasted peppers, loud drums, the smell of charcoal, heat, charred marks on grilled food, hot sun and bright orange day lilies. Orange paper plates, dragons, smoke and habaneros. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Fire flies, thick emerald and lush greenery and woods, camping in the backyard, the soft glow of lanterns, cool melons and cucumbers, the musical chirping of crickets, a lakeside party in the middle of the woods, a softly playing guitar the golden glow of the setting sun layered on everything.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-The crashing shores, mermaids and bejeweled bikinis, a bonfire by the sea, fries and seafood, soft colorful shawls billowing in the wind, blazing sun, sunscreen and colorful towels. Salt water taffies and gummy candies. Sea shell tea lights and sparklers.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-An open field and a hot oppressive heat, an bright blue sky, the screaming sounds of cicadas and the smell of frying food. Colorful tents, neon colors, funnel cakes, tie dye, a lute playing, a summer festival with carnival-like qualities. Electric lights, holographic scales, neon black lights.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Strawberries, pink lemonade, sunset skies and sweet smelling candles in glass lanterns. White linen, rose petal infusions, hanging votives from trees, elderflower wine and lemon glaze icing. White lace dresses and flower crowns. Bouquets of summer flowers, the countryside’s grass of many streaks of colors.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Gold tiara chains, blood oranges, tiki torches and flame flag dancers. Night skies with thousands of stars, hibiscus iced tea, Gold rings, chain jewelry, bohemian cushions and sheer veil canopies. Warm summer nights, fire pits, story telling and spiced liquor.<br />

<i><b>Chaos/Chaotic - A type of magick utilizing new, non-traditional, and unorthodox methods. It is a new and highly individualistic practice, while still drawing from other common forms of magick.</b></i><br />
<i><br /></i>
My research for Chaos majick or Chaos witches has took me to longest this far. Didn´t know much about it, everywhere I looked, there was a totally different approach of it. So just imagine, I was super confused. What the hell is this thing? Can´t they explain it the way I would understand it? Then I decided to watch few videos about it from Youtube (witchcraft in Youtube is strong!). After the videos I actually interviewed few Chaos witches and all became finally clear. Actually the practice is really simple. There is few things that I realize it has and yet again, like every Chaos witch, I say, this is just my point of view. </div>

-First of all what became clear to me, is the <b>dogmatism</b>, it´s really strong with the idea of "viewpoint or system of ideas based on insufficiently examined premises." Basically, nothing may be true, you need to find more resources to back the "facts" or opinions and learn learn learn. This is the reason why every Chaos witch say the different thing, we all have different approaches and ideas and because you can do your stuff and do your magick the way you want... This may be confusing to some (like to me in the beginning). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-<b>Nothing is written on the stone</b>, you can pick what ever floats your boat and make your magick, the outcome work. Many Chaos witch may use book of shadows or journals to write the whole process down or even revolve with different starting points and add them to their studies. What premises help you to achieve your goal the best?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

-Chaos witches are very good at their <b>technical experiences</b>. Because all the learning and analyzing about everything, they became very (with no other words in my mind) officiant the things they do. So actually, chaos magick isn´t chaotic at all, it is very straight and in place at all time. Only thing that may seem chaotic, is the process to getting there for seen, nothing is certain.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-<b>Deconditioning</b>. Totally new word to me, but it means (very psychologically) that our ego and everything that includes us to think who we are, need to be kind of re-programmed. You don´t need to think you are everything that has happened to you, that those things are the only thing you are. You can wide your self-image; who you are is up to you. How much do you want to enjoy life and be the better you.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>"Our <b>ego</b> is a fiction
of stable self-hood which maintains itself by perpetuating the
distinctions of ‘what I am/what I am not, what I like/what I
don’t like’, <b>beliefs</b> about ones politics, religion, gender
preference, degree of free will, race, subculture etc all help
maintain a stable sense of self, whilst the little ways in which
we pull against this very stability allows us to feel as though
we are <b>unique individuals</b>. Using deconditioning exercises,
we can start to widen the cracks in our consensual reality which
hopefully, enables us to become less attached to our beliefs
and egofictions, and thus able to discard or modify them when
appropriate."</i><br />

-<b>Gnosis</b>. Ability to enter altered states of consciousness. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>"We tend to draw
a distinct line between ‘ordinary consciousness’ and ‘altered
states’, where in fact we move between different states of
consciousness - such as daydreams, ‘autopilot’ (where we carry
out actions without cognition) and varying degrees of attention,
all the time. However, as far as magick is concerned, the willed
entry into intense altered states can be divided into two poles
of ‘Physiological Gnosis’ - Inhibitory states, and Excitatory
states. The former includes physically ‘passive’ techniques
such as meditation, yoga, scrying, contemplation and sensory
deprivation while the latter includes chanting, drumming,
dance, emotional and sexual arousal."</i></div>

So, <b>conclusion.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>"Rather than trying to recover and
maintain a tradition that links back to the past (and former
glories), Chaos magic is an approach that enables the individual
to use anything that s/he thinks is suitable as a temporary belief
or symbol system. What matters is the results you get, not the
‘authenticity’ of the system used. So Chaos magic then, is not
a system - it utilises systems and encourages adherents to devise
their own, giving magic a truly Postmodernist flavour."</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>"Chaos magic has a reputation being sinister or some type bad. Maybe because the name is what it is or, "its
“pick’n’mix/D.I.Y” approach to magic was frowned upon by
the ‘traditionalist’ schools, secondly that many people
associated chaos with ‘anarchy’ and other negative
associations, and thirdly that some Chaos magic publications
were hyped as being ‘blasphemous, sinister, and dangerous’
in a way that they were not, which proved all the same to be an
attractive glamour for those who required such a boost to the
ego." "</i></div>

<b>Tips for making sigils</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Use positive affirmations. Take the “not” out of your sigil. Sigils use your subconscious to manifest, and in much the same way that your first response when someone tells you “don’t look over there,” is to ignore them and look where they just told you not to, your subconscious will skip right over the “not” and fuck with your results. For example, “I am strong,” versus “I am not weak,” where “I am strong” carries the positive affirmations and “I am not weak” carries negative affirmations. Your subconscious takes “I am not weak” and crosses out the “not” and sees it instead as “I am weak,” and therefore your sigil may manifest the complete opposite of what you had intended.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gi6WdHKY-pk/XOy1wWfiJgI/AAAAAAAAgts/lf1wjtLMSJkK3XYuFHxpY6EBMpsSz1t7QCEwYBhgL/s1600/tumblr_o9v9sl3KYi1vrlgz6o1_1280.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="900" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gi6WdHKY-pk/XOy1wWfiJgI/AAAAAAAAgts/lf1wjtLMSJkK3XYuFHxpY6EBMpsSz1t7QCEwYBhgL/s640/tumblr_o9v9sl3KYi1vrlgz6o1_1280.jpg" width="360" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Use present tense as opposed to future tense. I’ve learned from experience to not leave room for loopholes, and using “I will” instead of “I am” leaves some room for loopholes. The phrase “I will be strong” leaves an open loophole where your sigil could start working right away as you intended it, or, in the case that the universe decides to be a little fucker as it so often does, a year from now. “I am strong” denotes that this is a thing that is happening now, so it’ll manifest now as opposed to later when it might not even matter anymore. If you have to use the word “will,” then the phrase “it is my will” may work for you. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, if your sigil is something that you planned on manifesting sometime in the future, (“i will meet my soulmate”) then go ahead and use “I will” in your phrasing. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Your sigil has to be charged AND activated. Not one or the other. Both. There are a number of methods and combination of methods to achieve this, but it’s important that you do both or your desire will not manifest.</div>

<i>Ceremonial Witch: Witches who combines both the practices of witchcraft and ceremonial magic, though they are more spiritually centered than most ceremonial magicians. Ceremonial witches are very exacting in the performance of ritual and their rituals are usually followed by the book, to the letter and with much ceremony. They may use a combination of various mystical disciplines drawn from the Old Ways, but will often incorporate scientific approaches such as sacred mathematics and quantum mysticism as well. They will call upon a eclectic band of spiritual entities, leaning towards archetypal figures representative of the energies they wish to manifest.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Specific tools, high magick, wealthy people with clear will in mind, lots and lots of mystical and very old occult symbols trough time. Those who got the chance to practice ceremonial magick, signed an oath and studied hard. With this post I wanted to share mostly how ceremonial magick works, finding the ways how to combine both witchcraft and ceremonial magick was really hard. I have been doing research the whole day and I think I have only touch the surface. This seem highly interesting way to study and use magic. I am not that ceremonial myself, I do my ritual when ever I feel like and this probably wouldn´t be my thing. Study thing interests me a lot though, maybe I buy more books and do my own type of thing reading and doing my notes. Maybe even doing more magic/paranormal/occult related posts in my blog.</div>

<b>Definition</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ceremonial magick is also known as high magick or learned magick. It is a system using long, formal rituals and using multiple ritual tools. Ceremonial witchcraft is often influenced by Hermetic, Thelma, and Western Esoteric practices. Often times a practitioner of ceremonial magick may refer to themselves as a magickian. Although ceremonial practitioners perform a variety of rituals, there seems to be a special connection between ceremonial magick and the spirit world.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Historic Context</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The earliest discussion of the term ‘ceremonial magic(k)’ can be found in the 16th century to describe medieval grimoires and techniques. Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa, a German occult writer, understood there to be a division between natural magick (astrology, alchemy, and modern natural sciences) and ceremonial magick (communing with spirits, necromancy, formal ritual). He approved of the natural techniques but found ceremonial magick to be sinful. The most recent revival of ceremonial magick was partly caused by the writings of Aleister Crowley.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Modern Context</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are many practitioners who work solely with ceremonial magick and/or who identify as ceremonial magickians/witches/practitioners. Others, simply use ceremonial magick as inspiration either for their practice as a whole or individual spells and rituals. Such witches might identify as eclectic.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
CEREMONIAL magic is the ancient art of invoking and controlling spirits by a scientific application of certain formulæ. A magician, enveloped in sanctified vestments and carrying a wand inscribed with hieroglyphic figures, could by the power vested in certain words and symbols control the invisible inhabitants of the elements and of the astral world.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While the elaborate ceremonial magic of antiquity was not necessarily evil, there arose from its perversion several false schools of sorcery, or black magic.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Egypt, a great center of learning and the birthplace of many arts and sciences, furnished an ideal environment for transcendental experimentation. Here the black magicians of Atlantis continued to exercise their superhuman powers until they had completely undermined and corrupted the morals of the primitive Mysteries. By establishing a sacerdotal caste they usurped the position formerly occupied by the initiates, and seized the reins of spiritual government. Thus black magic dictated the state religion and paralyzed the intellectual and spiritual activities of the individual by demanding his complete and unhesitating acquiescence in the dogma formulated by the priestcraft. The Pharaoh became a puppet in the hands of the Scarlet Council–a committee of arch-sorcerers elevated to power by the priesthood.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These sorcerers then began the systematic destruction of all keys to the ancient wisdom, so that none might have access to the knowledge necessary to reach adeptship without first becoming one of their order. They mutilated the rituals of the Mysteries while professing to preserve them, so that even though the neophyte passed through the degrees he could not secure the knowledge to which he was entitled. Idolatry was introduced by encouraging the worship of the images which in the beginning the wise had erected solely as symbols for study and meditation. False interpretations were given to the emblems and figures of the Mysteries, and elaborate theologies were created to confuse the minds of their devotees. The masses, deprived of their birthright of understanding and groveling in ignorance, eventually became the abject slaves of the spiritual impostors. Superstition universally prevailed and the black magicians completely dominated national affairs, with the result that humanity still suffers from the sophistries of the priestcrafts of Atlantis and Egypt.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fully convinced that their Scriptures sanctioned it, numerous mediæval Qabbalists devoted their lives to the practice of ceremonial magic. The transcendentalism of the Qabbalists is founded upon the ancient and magical formula of King Solomon, who has long been considered by the Jews as the prince of ceremonial magicians.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bCxkUsr1bo8/XOyApKWlRRI/AAAAAAAAgtE/O_9lFtKaRPwaSx49ptQ4McPE-ObP_1n5ACLcBGAs/s1600/tumblr_poofagBFZD1vuts7go8_400.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="596" data-original-width="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bCxkUsr1bo8/XOyApKWlRRI/AAAAAAAAgtE/O_9lFtKaRPwaSx49ptQ4McPE-ObP_1n5ACLcBGAs/s1600/tumblr_poofagBFZD1vuts7go8_400.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Among the Qabbalists of the Middle Ages were a great number of black magicians who strayed from the noble concepts of the Sepher Yetzirah and became enmeshed in demonism and witchcraft. They sought to substitute magic mirrors, consecrated daggers, and circles spread around posts of coffin nails, for the living of that virtuous life which, without the assistance of complicated rituals or submundane creatures, unfailingly brings man to the state of true individual completion.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Those who sought to control elemental spirits through ceremonial magic did so largely with the hope of securing from the invisible worlds either rare knowledge or supernatural power. The little red demon of Napoleon Bonaparte and the infamous oracular heads of de Medici are examples of the disastrous results of permitting elemental beings to dictate the course of human procedure. While the learned and godlike dæmon of Socrates seems to have been an exception, this really proves that the intellectual and moral status of the magician has much to do with the type of elemental he is capable of invoking. But even the dæmon of Socrates deserted the philosopher when the sentence of death was passed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Transcendentalism and all forms of phenomenalistic magic are but blind alleys–outgrowths of Atlantean sorcery; and those who forsake the straight path of philosophy to wander therein almost invariably fall victims to their imprudence. Man, incapable of controlling his own appetites, is not equal to the task of governing the fiery and tempestuous elemental spirits.</div>

When Eliphas Levi invoked the spirit of Apollonius of Tyana, what did he hope to accomplish? Is the gratification of curiosity a motive sufficient to warrant the devotion of an entire lifetime to a dangerous and unprofitable pursuit? If the living Apollonius refused to divulge his secrets to the profane, is there any probability that after death he would disclose them to the curious-minded? Levi himself did not dare to assert that the specter which appeared to him was actually the great philosopher, for Levi realized only too well the proclivity of elementals to impersonate those who have passed on.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The majority of modern mediumistic apparitions are but elemental creatures masquerading through bodies composed of thought substance supplied by the very persons desiring to behold these wraiths of decarnate beings.</div>

I love all of it, it is so basic me. Even when I was very little I was so intrigued by everything Celtic, the history, the magic, the people. How I use Celtic witchcraft in my own craft? Well, I meditate while listening Celtic music, I watch movies based on it, every Sabbath I remember Celtic Gods and Goddesses and many deities. I also wear jewellery, I often go to the woods and just be there in silence or just go for a walk. I have been obsessed in all Celtic stuff past year because I just didn´t know how I want to present this post and this has been taking way too long now.</span></span></div>

Celtic witchcraft has as its basis a strong sense of spirituality and a love of the earth. Central to this love are the Goddesses and Gods, who play a strong role in Celtic worship. The Celtic religion recognises two main deities; the Earth Mother Goddess and the Horned God. But Celtic Wiccans also worship many other minor deities who each represent specific qualities important to Celtic individuals. Celtic worshippers celebrate the same Sabbaths, perform rituals and magic, and have a strong faith in their spirituality, just like any member of the Craft. The main differences between Celtic witchcraft and other forms of the Craft is that with Celts, magic is everywhere. Magic is woven into their jewellery, their tattoos and all their artwork and everyday items such as clothing and cutlery. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Druids are the religious leaders of the Celtic people,the wise and magical priests and priestesses whose special blend of wisdom and magic provided a powerful role model for all the Celtic people. The Druidic priesthood was originally all-female, which male initiates only becoming accepted after many years. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to Laurie Cabot, Druidesses were divided into three levels, or classes: the highest class were celibate and lived in convents, and were eventually assimilated into Christianity as nuns. The other two levels could be married and lived either with their husbands, or in the temples. With the onset of Christianity these wise women were called witches. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Spirituality is of primary import to Celts, and their devotion to the earth, their goddesses and gods and the effort which they put into their worship is proof of their highly spiritual nature. Although the names of the deities worshipped and the titles of the Sabbats may be different to other Pagan practices, despite the regional dialects which occur in the Celtic rituals, there are strong similarities between Celtic witchcraft and Wicca practiced elsewhere on the globe.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In Celtic witchcraft, rituals honor the essential elements of earth, air, fire and water, and the deities that personify them. Rituals are held in honor of the seasons, the Sabbats and to celebrate auspicious moments in pagan history. Numbers are extremely important to the Celts, with three, five, seven, nine and thirteen holding special significance. Therefore it is auspicious to repeat rituals or affirmations a specific number of times. </div>

<div style="color: #313131; font-family: baskerville, "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">
Ritual is vital for Celtic magic. The wearing of ceremonial robes, the burning of incense and candles, and the tools on the ceremonial altar - all play an important role in setting the scene for magic. Magic is an often overused term, but those in the Craft know that it works. With spellcraft one can practice and see the results of magic, constantly gaining strength with each day that passes. </div>
<div style="color: #313131; font-family: baskerville, "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="color: #313131; font-family: baskerville, "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">
Candle magic was greatly favored by the Celts, although they preferred tallow lamps and bonfires using specific woods to modern candles we use today. Candle rituals are specific to the individual, but there are a few simple rules to follow unless the ritual specifies otherwise. To perform a spell to increase or obtain, burn during a waxing moon (the period leading up to the full moon). To decrease or remove, burn during a waning moon (the period after the full moon). </div>
<div style="color: #313131; font-family: baskerville, "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="color: #313131; font-family: baskerville, "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">
Use candles of a specific color relevant to your spell. Anoint the candle with incense or oil, working from bottom to top for a spell to increase or from top to bottom for a spell to remove. You may also wish to each words, such as your desires or the name of the deity to whom you are appealing, along the side of the candle to strengthen the purpose of the spell. When performing a ritual with a candle, unless otherwise stipulated, allow the candle to burn out to the end. </div>

Animal bones has a big effect on my life. I even have my own cabinet of curiosities. They are beautiful and reminds me of life and death. I think bones are art that Mother Nature makes, just like flowers and most beautiful landscapes. I want to gather museum like home to myself, be surrounded by bones and dried herbs, it just makes me happy and my home feels cozy for me. I am happy that my husband doesn´t think it´s weird or too macabre. Some visitors have been either terrified or super exited. Normally my friends think it´s just me and they don´t think about that much. <span style="text-align: start;">I also use bones in jewelry and at my altar. I use them to connect to deities more easily.</span><br />

Animal bones are great way to connect with spirit animals. You can use smoke and use your energy to have a better connection to the spirit you are trying to get trough. You can also hold the energy in bones, some say you don´t need to charge them so often. You can use them as jewelry or carry around like other talismans, in a little pouch in your purse or pocket. You can also use a bottle if you like.</div>

Using as wards you need to be confident that the bones are cleansed and their energy is flowing. Then you can use smoke cleansing, sigils, herbs and the elements. You can bury the bones or hang them inside or outside, like in trees etc. </div>

Other uses for bones are Osteomancy, divination (link included at the end), use bones on your wand, sigil amplifier, you can enchant them. You can include them as your craft, like in your dreamcatchers. or make a wind chimes type of craft and hang it inside or outside your house. And please remember to collect your bones in a way that does not include animal cruelty. You find plenty even remembering by honoring the nature and all it´s beings.</div>
