🌄Sunrise Witchcraft🌄

☀️sunrise is the best time for: healing, positivity, happiness, anti-anxiety/depression, spirituality, self care/love, air magic, cleansing, soft energy/ positive energy amplifier, truth spells, protection, and peace

☀️sunrise associations: citrine, lemon, peaches, ginger, orange, morning dew, orange calcite, coffee, bergamot, lime, earl grey, mint, sage, cinnamon, grapefruit, morning glory, marigold, saffron, calendula, daylily, daisy, black tea, and frankincense

☀️tips and things to try:

🌞yoga (especially sun salutations!)

🌻sunbathe in the sunrise to cleanse and charge with positive energy

🌞if you can’t wake up before/during sunrise, just leave your window blinds open to help you wake up naturally and/or to charge in the sunlight while you’re sleeping

🌻this is a great time for tea and coffee magic

🌞this is a great time to charge stones, especially sun-sensitive stones. (Here’s a post on solar stones)

🌻listen to and charge with soft or acoustic music

🌞 spend some time outside, take some deep breaths of fresh air, enjoy the birds chirping, flowers, dew, fog, and the beautiful colors in the sky that sunrise brings

🌻charge some lemon juice in the sunrise for extra boost of cleansing, positivity, and happiness properties (to make it stronger you can infuse it with mint or grapefruit, which both have similar properties and correspond with sunrise)

🌞if you’re comfortable with it, leave an offering out for sunrise deities and dawn sprites & other sun fae

🌻sunrise is a spiritual time, it’s the perfect time for meditation, exploring spirituality, astral travel, etc.

🌞here’s my post on how to connect to the elements in the morning/dawn

☀️My sunrise recipes:

🍋Sunrise tea: (has cleansing, happiness, positivity, energy boost, and protection properties)

1 part grapefruit (be careful if you’re on medication) optional

1 part sage or basil (whichever you prefer, both work)

1 part lemon

1 part orange

🍑Dawn faeries/spirtes:

☀️What they’re like- human looking, lots of pinks (their skin as well as ‘clothes’), they love dancing during sunrise, waking up the animals and plants sweetly, happy attitude, gentle, they love dew, pink clouds, they have a soft yet sparkly pink glow (it feels warm but not hot), and can bring about peaceful and positive feelings

☀️Offerings- rose quartz!!!, grapefruit, pink chyroprase, pink roses, peaches, peach roses, peony, geranium, hibiscus, marigold

☀️Deities associated with sunrise- Eos, Aurora, Hemera, Alectrona, Neaera, Mitra, Saranyu

Rose and Milk Bath Tea

You will need some dried rose petals, two drops of rose oil, 2 tablespoons of Epsom salts, a cup of dry milk powder, one tablespoon of oatmeal, and a muslin teabag (you can use the foot of an old sock or pantyhose).

In a jar, mix together the Epsom salts and the rose fragrance oil. Let this stand for a day. Mix with the remaining ingredients and place into the muslin teabag.

Prepare your bath the usual way. While the hot water is running, drop the teabag under the hot water. The fragrance and milky clouds will soon turn an ordinary bathing experience into a wonderful aromatic pleasure. Use citrus peels and oils to invigorate. Lavender flowers and oils for a stress reducer. Experiment. Have fun!

(from Spells for the Lazy Witch by Deborah Ashe)

🌑 Manifestation Spell 🌑

A spell to manifest something into your life, to be performed under the new moon.

You will need :

🌑 Jar or other container 🌑 Water 🌑 Black food colouring (or any colour you associate with nothingness) 🌑 Square white paper (or any colour you associate with existence) 🌑 A new moon

What to do :

🌑Fill your jar with water. 🌑Write down on the paper what you’re trying to manifest, and then fold it into an origami shape. It doesn’t have to be overly complex, it just has to be something other than a square. It helps if there’s a correspondence between what you’re manifesting and the shape you fold your paper into. 🌑Put the folded paper into the water and then add your food colouring. 🌑Leave the jar with the water and paper in it outside to charge in the new moon’s moonlight. 🌑 In the morning, take the jar back inside and keep it somewhere it won’t be touched by moonlight from other lunar phases. The universe will start aiding you in the manifestation now.

As the paper disintegrates, your desire will be in the process of manifesting. Once your paper is nearly gone, your desire will have completely or almost completely manifested, as long as you’ve followed the correct path during this to make it happen.

manifestation spell

in short, a multi-wish spell! 

items required: - fire safe container or cauldron - herbs and essential oils that correspond to your intent  - bay leaves - pen or marker - matches - candle 

1) light candle 2) add your herbs and oils to your fire safe container - my spell was for increased psychic power AND academic/career success and wisdom so i used the following: sage, rosemary, thyme, fire salts (for the cinnamon), star anise, and a few drops of lavender essential oil  3) write your intent on the bay leaves (my bay leaves were kind of small so i ended up crafting sigils for my intent instead) 4) take a match and set your herbs ablaze  5) add your bay leaves to the fire as you focus on your intent  6) let the fire burn out and snuff out your candle when finished  *if you want you can save the ashes and jar them or bury them, otherwise just dispose as usual 

use safety precautions when dealing with fire - be wary that some essential oils are flammable, lavender oil being one of them
