Cedar Tree

🌲Cedar Tree

The cedar tree is associated to the Sun and it is connected to the element of fire. Its qualities are prosperity, protection, and healing.🌞

✨As an incense, cedar purifies an area and banishes nightmare.

✨Hung in the house, cedar repels lighting and protects the home from negative energies of all kinds.

✨Place cedar in your wallet or pouch to attract money, or burn it to attract financial success and increase psychic powers.

✨Cedar smoke can be used to consecrate wands and it is said to complement the study of the Wands suit in the Tarot deck.

✨Cedar is one of the “Nine Sacred Woods” suitable for all magical workings and earth rituals.

✨Cedar salves work well for rheumatic afflictions (use fresh leaves to make the salve.)

✨The oil in Cedar can act as an insect repellant.

✨An old pillow case filled with cedar chips will keep moths out of your closet. Smaller pillows can be stuffed into nooks and corners in drawers.

*Make sure the tree/leaves have not been treated with pesticides, etc. Before taking anything make sure to tell the tree what you are about to do and why. Also, give something in return as thanks (coins, tobacco, pour a drink, crystal chips, etc.) *

Magick flows through me

My words hold power

I embrace the power which I possess

Black Salt

Black salt is a great tool for pretty much any witch and can be made with a large variety of things. For me, personally, I generally infuse my black salt with various dark ingredients (as in color, not the intention) from various spells and castings to fine-tune my current needs.

Since I've seen a couple of asks about this, I'm going to make a list of a few different things I do and use to make my black salt.

How I make it:

Grinding salt with dark ingredients

Saturating water with salt, adding dark ingredients with intention, reducing and dehydrating back into a crystallized form

Mixing salt and dark ingredients with a tiny bit of oil or moon water to create a 'paintable' paste

What I've used:

Ashes from burnt incense

Ashes from burnt spells

Trimmings of burnt candle wicks

Dark-colored berries

Ground black stones

Ashes of herbs I've burnt for their effects

Volcanic ash (not terribly dark, but powerful)

Black salt can be used for a variety of practices, but as always, make sure you do your research and cross-reference your findings with a variety of sources before solidifying your knowledge. Sometimes you'd be surprised what mistakes even experiences witches can make without doing their homework, and I want everyone reading this post to be safe in their practice. Blessed be, everyone!

Types of Water Divination

Hydromancy: divination using water

The flow of water speaks to the intensity of current and/or upcoming events. To practice this method, dip a metal ring in water and gauge the movements like using a pendulum for "yes/no," or interpret the answer from the number of ripples that arise.

Acultomancy: divination with needles

Using needles in water or flour, the diviner would interpret shapes and patterns created by the needles in the substance. 21 or 7 needles would be used following the question being asked. The broken line may mean traveling or heading on a new journey. The parallel lines may mean money in the future, either given or taken away. The vertical lines are meant as guided roads to take. The horizontal lines may mean what the fate will be.

Ceroscopy: divination with molten wax in water

Light the candle with your question in mind and allow the wax to drop into the bowl of water. As the wax forms shapes and pattens, use these to interpret an answer to your question.

Quercusmancy: divination with acorns and oak trees

Lovers can drop acorns into the corner of a body of water. If the acorns touch, the lovers are meant to be. Acorns were also carried as lucky charms. If an oak tree shed its leaves, an oath was said to be broken.

Lecanomancy: divination with oil and water

Drop oil or rocks into a bowl of water and interpret the shapes and ripples in answer to your question.
