I hope this helps you on your journey and, as always, if you have any questions feel free to leave me an ask and I will get back to you as soon as I can!

COMING SOON!

Thank you so much! I will definitely look into some protection spells I can do before I do other spells. I definitely am worrying a little bit about doing something wrong. I always have anxiety about anything that I do. I need to practice being more confident. I'm sure the anxiety is making the hives break out. Just didn't know if it was a sign or maybe me doing something wrong. It's probably just anxiety. Thank you so much for your insight and help, I really appreciate it! 🖤

Can anyone help me figure out whats happening/what I need to do?

Over the weekend I did a very big return to sender spell as I have believed I was hexed by an ex best friend. I had a lot of resentment towards this person since we stopped being friends months ago. In doing the spell I put all the energy into it that I could muster. After the spell I felt much better and then ended up breaking out in hives (stress induced, though I didn't feel stressed). Usually I am a very anxious person and witchcraft helps me ease my anxiety, I just believed that since I had gotten rid of the anxiety and negativity that my body didn't know what to do with the emptiness of those emotions and turned it into hives since it didn't have another outlet (it's been cleared up since Tuesday morning)

Just a few minutes ago I cleansed my space and just put a glass of salt water under my bed for protection, I then itch my hand and realize I have hives again...obviously not nearly as bad as what I had over the weekend, just two small ones.

What sign is this? What should I do? I know it will clear up in a day but I am a bit worried. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Rose Sugar:

I made rose sugar yesterday and it smells amazing! I am planning on using it for tea and tea spells. The sugar reflects the pink of the petals and the entire jar is almost glowing pink ^-^

Connecting with Gods and Deities

Hello, My name is Alva Tauri! I am an herbalist, spirit worker, tarot and oracle reader, and lunar and herbal witch dedicated to closing the education gap when it comes to herbalism and witch practices!

Today, I wanted to talk about ways in which I connect with the Gods and deities I worship in my life, to aid new witches in this task in their day to day practice. I believe that we oftentimes overcomplicated this part of our practice and that can make this task seem overwhelming and daunting when, in reality, connection can be simple.

I want to gear this post towards my new witches who do not fully grasp the concept yet or don't yet have an altar, as well as my fellow neurodivergent, mentally ill, and/or chronically ill witches who may find this task daunting for other reasons (I.E. low physical, low mental energy, physical pain, etc.) A portion of this post will be dedicated to low energy ways to connect with your Gods and/or deities to make your practice a bit easier.

Let's get started!

Day to Day Connections

it can be difficult to remember to do rituals or sit at our altar intentionally in our busy lives. here are some tasks you can do within minutes every single day to connect with your Gods and/or deities - great for days that are hectic or with minimal free time:

light a candle and simply say thank you

offer the meal or snack that you made to them

offer your drink to them

bit them goodmorning and goodnight

thank them for the things you enjoy throughout your day

dedicate a cleaning task to them (I.E. vacuuming, doing laundry, etc.)

cleanse your space spiritually and dedicate that task to them (I.E. sage burning, incense, etc.)

Altar-less Connections

we were all new or closeted witches at one point in our lives. none of us started with an altar and a fancy set up with all the tools we needed. here are some ways that you can connect with your Gods and/or deities without an altar:

read about your Gods and/or deities myths and legends

spend some time meditating and simply thinking about them

wear their colors as symbols

make a digital offering to them online

write poetry for them

pray to them

make a playlist for them and listen to it

talk to them about your day (this can be in your head if you are closeted. you do not have to pray out loud for them to hear you. they are always with you and supporting you)

Low Energy Connections

for my fellow neurodivergent, chronically ill, and/or mentally ill witches, here is a section full of little ways you can connect with your Gods and/or deities on rough days that leave you with low mental or physical energy:

pray from the comfort of your bed (they will know you mean this with good intentions. they will not be offended. trust me.)

talk to them about your day

dedicate your self-care routine (no matter how short or long it is) to your Gods and/or deities

offer them your food or drink - this can be as simple as offering them a glass of water if that is all you have the energy to get in that moment

light a candle or incense in their honor (I recommend incense if you are feeling truly exhausted, as you can leaving it burning without any major repercussions, unlike a candle)

dedicate a moment of rest to them (I.E. sleeping, taking a nap, even just taking a moment to sit in silence and rest your body and mind)

make a playlist for them and listen

make a post or pinterest board in their honor

Advanced, More Time Consuming Methods of Connection

on days that you have the time and the energy and are feeling a calling to make a bigger grand gesture, here are some tasks I like to do at my altar. NOTE: you do not have to do these everyday or even every week. if you feel a calling to do this, then do. if you do not, then these are not required. remember, at the end of the day you know your relations with your Gods and/or deities better than anyone else. trust your gut and your intuition:

COMING SOON!

That's all for connections with your Gods and/or Deities! I hope that you found this helpful in your spiritual journey and I hope that you are able to apply this information to your practice.
