Easy Witchy Morning Routine

✨ When you wake up, take a few deep breaths to ground yourself for the upcoming day.

✨ Choose a crystal to keep on your person to help cope with whatever you have going on that day.

✨ Ask your tarot deck what to focus on for the day and pull a single card. Pay attention to what your intuition tells you about your interpretation of the card in conjunction with your question.

✨ Stir intention into your morning cup of tea of coffee. Clockwise motions add an intention while counterclockwise removes something.

✨ Sit down with your journal and write out some goals and things for which you are grateful. Write out your goals as if their success is inevitable. “I will…” Write out your gratitude, allowing yourself to feel the positive emotions that come with being thankful.

✨ If you have the space or opportunity, go outside for even just a few minutes, put your feet into the grass, and take a few deep breaths. Just two minutes of grounding to start your day can severely adjust your entire attitude going forward.

Witch Tip 72

Get. A. Planner. Or a bullet journal. Or a calender. Something you can write to do lists and other important things in.

My school kept pushing us to get planners. They gave us these ugly mandatory planners that was also your hall pass, so you couldn t throw it away. No one actually used them because no one cared enough to use them.

Now as an upcoming comic artist, blogger [on TWO sites including this one], student and a curator/mod on the amino app, that little fucker could have made me double the amount of content I put out.

If you want to remember the moon phases and remember to get rain water, put it in a note takint app or digital planner thing.

Pro Tips to Clear Negative Energy from a Room (for broke people like me)

You don’t always need fancy magic materials to cleanse a gross-feeling room. These are my go-to, down-to-earth methods for making creepy, negative, tense, or otherwise iffy rooms comfy and grounded again.

- Turn on your favorite uplifting, feel-good music (something happy). Turn it up so that it fills the room!

- Occupy the room. It sounds simple, but rooms can sometimes feel iffy if they’ve been left alone for too long. So sit in there, preferably with friends, and lighten up the energy by watching funny videos/a comedy movie/etc, talking lightheartedly, playing a fun game, whatever it takes to fill the room with laughter and happy vibes

- Clean the room. Dust, sweep, vacuum, spray some good-smelling stuff or light a scented candle. Physically cleaning literally takes old stagnant energy and removes it, allowing new energy to come in.

- Open up all the doors/windows. Get a cross breeze going. If you have small wind chimes to spare, putting them in an open window to chime is traditionally a good way to “break up” the old energy.

- Rearrange the room. Sometimes if the room is crowded full of furniture or nick-nacks, it’ll trap old energy and feel meh. Just moving stuff around can change the energy

- Clap your hands/use a spoon and a pan to make a lot of loud noise in the corners and nooks and crannies of the room. This also “breaks up” the old energy

- Place a bowl of water and iodized salt someplace in the room where it won’t spill. This acts like a trash can for negative energy. Depending on the size of the room, you might need two or even three bowls.

- A vase of fresh flowers or a potted plant will bring some fresh new energy into the room

If you have crystals, incense, or smudge sticks, those will work wonderfully, but they aren’t necessary. My go-to room-cleansing crystal is selenite, but you can also use smoky quartz, black tourmaline, or citrine. Standard sage works well, but you can also burn rosemary or cedar. But as always, go with your gut and do whatever feels the best for you. Happy cleaning!

Tip for a Green Witch

... Profile your herbs, fruits, plants, trees, vegetables etc.

But I just don't mean like profiling their magickal properties. I mean - their medicinal properties, how to propagate them, do they require pruning and pinching, full sun/half sun, what time to sow them (including what sign the moon should be in if you want to go down that deep), harvesting time and so on. Legitimately, if you're going to grow these herbs, know every damn thing about them. Better to know it and not need it than need it and not know it. Also it just helps with gardening purposes, like if you overwater a strawberry (that prefers drier soil) then its going to suffer and you're going to wonder why.

So here's a list

Name

Folk Names

Magical Properties

Medicinal Properties

What Sun does it need

Best time to plant it : (season), (moon phase), (moon sign)

Harvest time

What type of soil does it like: Acidic/alkaline

Watering: a lot of water, not much water, water twice a week

Folk Lore and Superstitions:

Best time to harvest it:

Signs and symptoms : root rot, etc.

Pet friendly : do I need to put it on the top shelf to prevent Ravioli from eating it.

Etc.
