Sitting in the dark

Talking to Aphrodite

Reading books and fully immersing myself in them. I can't do this often unfortunately.

Talking to my best friend

Eating pastry

Watching the rain at night

Yes, but when I'm sick I only do it if I'm feeling well enough to get up and get through the other things. I try to keep as clean as possible out of respect, so usually after I wash my body to "wash the illness away" and air my room.

I don’t pray while I’m sick or on my period cause I usually feel like overall crap

Planetary Days And Hours

Magick is at its best when performed during certain days and hours of the day. These time periods are associated with the seven celestial bodies in our solar system that we can observe with the naked eye. The associations are as follows:

A magical day is measured starting at sunrise and ending at sunset. Each sunrise and sunset period is divided into twelve equal parts, resulting in a (roughly) 24-hour day. Depending on your location relative to the equator, the planetary hours you calculate in your area may be longer or shorter than conventional hours.

The first hour of the day is always that of the planet the day represents. The hours then repeat infinitely in the following order: Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury, Moon.

* Power hours; ** Witching hours

The first, eighth, fifteen and twenty second hours are called power hours. These are the hours in which the seven-planet cycle repeats. Notice that the cycle resets after the twenty fourth hour with the power hour of the subsequent day.

The two hours after the final power hour and the twenty third and twenty fourth hours are called the witching hours. (Conventional hours place the witching hours between midnight and 3am, or 3am to 6am) These hours are favored by black magicians for casting baneful magick.

Use these tables to reference ideal days and hours when scheduling your spells. The finer you tune the time of the ritual, the more potent your magick will be.

Cleansing

(I'm a beginner. This is my grimoire since I can't keep a physical one. I might update this as I learn more. Don't quote me, however I'll still post this in case it might be useful for someone.)

What is cleansing, why would you cleanse before spelwork?

Imagine you come home at the end of a tiring day, just wanting to get into comfy clothes and lay on your bed. How would you feel if all your clothes were on the floor and on your bed, scattered all around your room. Dirty glasses and plates just laying around. The clothes must've sucked all the oxygen from your room. Would you still like to lay on your bed? You open your windows and manage to find your comfy clothes but they smell bad because they've been under dirty clothes for days. And you gotta either lay on the clothes on your bed or push them out. Even after all that your room still smells awful and you can't rest comfortably.

Imagine your room is very comfortable and clean and you're just resting peacefully. However a few minutes later a person in your household barges into your room shouting, all stressed out. Even when I didn't believe in energies, psychologically it would leave a negative vibe in my room. To get rid of this I would open a window, and if it didn't leave I would go out and take a walk if I could.

In both instances you probably want to cleanse your room so you can feel better. By cleaning physically or spiritually. It might make sense to clean physically first and then magically, however I find that it's easier to clean physically after doing a little bit of spiritual cleansing. Just to ease the burden of having to clean.

And when it comes to witchcraft, cleansing yourself and your space will help you invite the energies you want to work with and help the energies move better. It's easier to walk around when you don't have clothes on the floor. Cleansing yourself and meditating can help you think more clearly as well.

Cleansing methods I like to use:

What I can do is kinda limited because I live with my parents. To get candles or incense I need to interact with them, even if I don't they'll question me on it and I don't want to deal with that. I won't include things I do physically beforehand that are just basic hygiene, like washing my face and brushing my teeth.

1. Sound cleansing with nature sounds

I know that there are cleansing frequencies but I usually wind chimes or rain sounds in my room. You can do this with other types of nature sounds and include elements as well.

2. Melodrama by Lorde

I used to cleanse by listening to this album even before I believed in these things. It works very well for me. I also cleanse myself by breathing according to the rhythm.

3. Cleansing meditations

I love this one. I do have to mention that I do change the colour of the golden light to whatever I please and I had used this to cleanse my whole room before. It's very useful. Love it.

Afrofit; Sevgiye Övgülerle

Afrofit, sevgi ve güzelliğin vücut bulduğu Tanrıça

Çevremdeki sevgi için teşekkür ederim,

Ve hayatımı güzelleştiren dostlarım için.

Bana rehberlik et, sevgimi özgürce ifade edebilmem

Ve her anın tadını çıkarabilmem için.

Bu bağları beslememe yardımcı ol

Ki derinleşip daha anlamlı bir hâle gelsinler.

Zarafetinde güç ve ilham buluyorum

Sevgi yolumu aydınlatan ışık olduğu için.

Huzurunda uyum ve anlayış bulalım,

Sevgi ve destekle beraber büyüyelim,

Dostluk hediyesi için teşekkür ederim,

Bu lütuf hayatımın hazinesi olduğu için.

Aphrodite; In Praise Of Love

Aphrodite, embodiment of love and beauty

Thank you for the love that surrounds me,

For the cherished ones who enrich my life.

Bless my relationships, both near and far,

Guide me to express my love freely,

And to appreciate the beauty in every moment.

Help me nurture these connections,

So that they may grow deeper and more meaningful.

In your grace, I find strength and inspiration,

For love is the light that illuminates my path.

In your presence, may we find harmony and understanding,

Growing together in love and support.

Thank you for the gifts of connection,

For they are the treasures of my life.

remembering that one time i was on holiday, and i saw two lesbians in a very homophobic country just... out. being themselves. telling each other they love each other.

i was sitting behind them on the train.

Lady Aphrodite is with all kinds of love, and that was my first experience with it. and i'll never forget it.
