100 ways to incorporate magick in your daily life. 

I understand that these are not exactly all witchy but this is about intergreting your everyday life in your practice and appreciating as well as finding magick in the most mundane and simple things that we often miss out on. ♡

1. When you wake up, before grabbing your phone or getting out of bed, take a few seconds to breathe, and stretch all your limbs.

2. Say ‘’thank you’’ to your god/goddess/deity, or simply to acknowledge how lucky you are to live another day.

Lavender Sugar for Sweet Dreams

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon culinary dried lavender

2 cups granulated sugar

Tumbled amethyst (cleansed and charged)

Food processor or mortar & pestle

Tea (mint, chamomile, or other tea with no caffeine)

Procedure:

Cleanse your tumbled stone and clean it carefully.

Charge your stone with your intent. (I like to repeat “sweet dreams” or “I will have sweet dreams” three times)

Place stone in mug or teacup.

Set aside.

Drop the dried lavender into the bowl of a food processor and blend it for 10-15 seconds to chop it into small pieces. (Use mortar & pestle if you do not have a food processor and make sure the lavender is finely ground!)

Add 1 cup of granulated sugar to the processor and blend well, for 15-20 seconds, until the lavender is finely ground and mixed with the sugar. (Skip this step if you don’t have a food processor!)

Whisk the lavender sugar together using clockwise circles with the remaining cup of sugar until the lavender is well dispersed. Use this time to infuse the blend with your intent.

Make tea with no caffeine! Mint, chamomile, or other herbal teas are recommended. Prepare this tea in the mug or teacup that holds your tumbled stone.

Add lavender sugar to taste. 

Sip slowly right before bed or as part of your bedtime routine. You can repeat your intent in your head or just relax and meditate!

Store remaining Lavender Sugar in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 6 months.

Full Moon Protection Spell: For a Loved One

So I decided for the very special blue moon, to do a very special spell for a very special person in my life. What I used •Charm bag •White candle •Sage •Basil •Cinnamon •Rose Quartz •Small Sea Shell •Sea Salt •Piece of Paper •Protection Sigil/ any other sigils you would like to use Optional •music that reminds you of that person (very helpful for me) •picture/article of clothing of person

So the first thing to do is the light the candle and prepare your charm bag by adding the sage, basil, cinnamon, rose quartz and sea shell. Then I usually sit and transfer some energy into the bag, to get the magic flowing. Now, draw the sigils on one side of the paper and the person’s full name on the other side. Charge the sigils. Then I usually take time to focus and visualize that person, I listen to the music, I look at pictures, recall my favorite memories, focus on them being safe and sound, and since my cat Hufflepuff decided to join me tonight, I talked about them to my cat. I sat there giggling and smile like an idiot for a good 30 minutes. Then, when you feel ready, fold the paper up and put it in the bag. I sometimes say a incantation aloud but usually I just sing along to the music and end with, “So mote it be” but that should be personal to you, whatever is your preference. I usually sleep with the charm bag under my pillow for a night, just to have it with me. So there you go, lovelies, a protection spell for your beloveds! 💖
