Hello!

I am a newbie witch and I have started a blog to help document my progress. Please reblog this if you post any of the following (or others tidbits that may not be mentioned. All witchy blogs are welcome to speak up, really):

~ Hedge witchcraft

~ Green witchcraft

~ Crystal witchcraft

~ Wiccan history and lore

~ B.o.S. information and advice

~ Information on altars (how to set one up, items/tools, etc.)

I will check reblogs and add you whenever I get the chance. Thank you!

ways to cleanse your life (or, at least, ways I do)

* take a deep breath, hold, and release in a way you can hear it leaving your body (if you can’t exhale loudly, try exhaling while making a “shh” sound)

* put your phone on the charger and leave it there

* throw laundry (especially towels/sheets) in the wash

* put everything away (shoes, clothes, books, tuck it away– if it doesn’t have a designated spot, give it one, even if temporary)

* take out the trash, then do another sweep with a garbage bag to check for more

* open all the windows (if possible/applicable)

* put on a pot of coffee/tea

* put on gentle instrumental music

* drink a glass of cold water slowly

* wipe down or spritz everything with florida water or rose water

* pull things you don’t wear/use out of your closet or wherever and toss them in a box/bag for donating (think about a happy feeling you’ve had with each item as you add it, that’s a little blessing)

* clean out your purse/backpack and place in it only the items you absolutely want/need in it

* sort the apps on your phone/items on your desktop into neat folders or groupings; delete what you don’t need

* do a backup of what you need & update your operating system/software(s)

* vacuum/sweep (consider using a carpet refresher if you’ve got carpet, I use baking soda with a little essential oil mixed in– sprinkle over your carpet, leave for a few minutes, and then vacuum up)

* go through your wallet– get rid of receipts you don’t need, business cards you don’t need, etc.

* put something fresh, simple, cheap, & yummy in the oven (look up easy one-pan meals online, there are tons, my favs involve roasting carrots and potatoes); even if you don’t feel like eating much you’ll enjoy whatever you do eat & you’ll probably have some leftovers too (which makes me feel abundant, idk about y’all)

* rinse off your feet and put some lotion on them

* wash your hair

* wash your face, even if just with a wipe or some cool water

* brush your teeth/swish some mouthwash/swish some cool water (or if you’ve got a sore throat, swish & gargle some warm salt water)

* write down your favorite poem/prayer on a piece of paper and stick it where you can see it, or write a couple things you’re grateful for

* put spare change in a cup/bowl, do the same with paperclips, bobby pins, hair ties, etc. whatever little things get scattered– find appropriate place(s) for your cup(s)/bowl(s) as you go (ex. I keep my bobby pins and hair ties in a dish on my nightstand, paperclips on my desk, and coins in a jar on an altar)

* make a list of simple, broken down tasks

* spritz a pillow/stuffed animal with something nice smelling & then hug it frequently

* change your clothes/underwear (bonus points if you change into a neutral color like white, black, grey, or a nude that fits your skin)

A Peace Bath

Draw a bath for yourself. Pour a tablespoon or so of milk into a large bowl of water. Say:

Water ripples on the breeze..

add several rose petals (fresh or dried) to the bowl of water and milk, Say:

Thistledown flies through the air

Stir the water, milk, and rose petals, with the index finger of your right hand, say:

Silent as the mighty seas..

Gently pour the mixture that you’ve created into the bath, Say:

Peaceful here without a care

Step in. Bathe for as long as you wish. Let the water absorb negative thoughts and worries. Allow yourself a few moments of healing peace.

Black Honey

I’ve learned through some research and some traditions that honey is one of the best substances to use in witchcraft. I like to think of it as liquid clear quartz. I have mad my own mixture of honey that I think you will all like. It’s called black honey, and it is best suited for “dark magic.” It’s good for curses, bindings, hexes, and lots more.

To make it all you need is:

Honey (of course)

Water (I just used plain tap water. But you can use any kind really. If you wish you could boil it first, since water is really psychic.

And something to dye it black ( I prefer to use calligraphy ink, but I’m sure you could use food colouring, ash)

Steps: Firstly, combine the water and honey. Make sure that it still retains a somewhat think consistency. Then add the dye. Make sure that it is completely, or almost completely black as it will help with the practice. Then you can place energy and intent on it. And it’s done.
