You can make flower crowns according to each flower’s meaning and correspondences, and use their charms. here are some suggestions
🌱new growth
As the season changes over, it’s a good time for rituals and spells for shaking off the old and making way for the new, like this one
The Significance of Rings
Rings add weight to the area of life that the finger represents, or could reveal imbalances. A ring placed with intent can enhance areas of your life. This can be strengthened by rings with corresponding crystals. When a ring is worn unconsciously, it more likely refers to the negative trait or imbalance that corresponds with that finger. Left hand: Corresponds to your personal and private life. Connected to family and personal identity or internal issues. Your left hand reflects the energy you take in. Right hand: Relates to your public life. Connected to work and your relation to society. Your right hand reflects the energy you give out. Middle Finger Element: Earth Considered the finger of cultural identity. It reflects how you related to justice, law, order, and responsibility. Can also signify inner security or materialism. Consciously placed ring: Reduce anxiety, improve stability, desire for self-development. Unconsciously placed ring: domestic unhappiness, insecurities, judgmental, lack of security. Crystals: garnet, onyx, agate, topaz, tiger’s eye, jade.
Index Finger Element: Water Considered the finger of personal identity, how you relate to and see yourself. Associated with leadership, ambition, and self-confidence. Consciously placed ring: Boost self-esteem, increase authority, improve confidence. Unconsciously placed ring: Damaged self-esteem, feeling not good enough, feeling better than others, controlling personality. Crystals: tourmaline, lapis lazuli, peridot, opal, emerald. Ring Finger Element: Fire Represents your extra-personal identity and self-expression. It represents creativity and love of beauty. If it’s a wedding ring or engagement ring, it represents success in finding a mate. But if bought by the wearer it can represent self-love. Consciously placed ring: Strengthen creativity, express friendliness, improve aesthetic awareness. Unconsciously placed ring: Creative frustration, concern with image, desire to be liked. Crystals: garnet, ruby, pink tourmaline, diamond. Little Finger Element: Air Considered the finger of impersonal identity. It reflects communication and sexuality. Also represents confidence in relationships and strength. Consciously placed ring: Improve communication, express sexuality/sexual identity, gain confidence in regards to relationships. Unconsciously placed ring: Poor communication, lies, difficulty with sexuality/sexual identity Crystals: blue topaz, sapphire, aquamarine. Thumb Element: Ether Your thumb symbolizes your spiritual identity. It relates to your will power, determination, and application of personal energy. It also reflects your ability to reason and apply logic. As the thumb is separate from the rest of the fingers, and a very useful finger, it also represents strength, independent thought, and freedom. Consciously placed ring: Boost energy level, increase will power/motivation, provide comfort, increase reasoning, increase personal strength and independence. Unconsciously placed ring: lack of energy, feeling powerless, lack of control, poor reasoning, feeling trapped, stubborn/stuck in own way, need for control, aggressive/forceful Crystals: moonstone, diamond, amethyst. Rings on all/many fingers This can indicate a negative circumstance that you are being faced with. It shows a likely lack of feeling safe or secure in your world, and that your putting on a front. It can also signify avoidance to deal with issues affecting your life.

Guardian Spirits: Butterflies
Have you ever noticed that when there’s butterflies around, good things tend to happen? It’s a common belief in many cultures that butterflies are a sign that a guardian spirit is with you. It is believed that when a loved one dies, they can send a butterfly your way as a sign of good fortune or as a warning that a transitional change is to happen in your life.
Usually the most common sightings of guardian spirit butterflies are white or a pastel yellow in color. These butterflies are said to represent souls, as white is a color for purity and peace. Some people believe that these are “angels” sent to bring you peace and harmony. They will either follow you and flutter around you alone, or in a pair of two, depending on how many loved ones are trying to reach out to you. It is also said that it might not always be a loved one, but a guardian soul that has chosen you, guiding you in the right direction of life, much like a familiar.
When you see these butterflies, thank them for coming. Most butterflies are symbolic for metamorphosis, so it is important to look at the aspects of your life that might need a change for the better. Perhaps tap into your divination skills and try to communicate with it.
If you find a fallen butterfly, (one that has already passed) their wings can be collected and used in spells for transformation and change. But don’t just go around killing butterflies for their wings!
I hope this was informative, and may you be surrounded by many beautiful butterflies. Blessed be )O(

The Magic of Chai
littlewitchaesthetica’s guide to the magic of chai
For all you Kitchen Witches and Barista Witches out there (I know I can’t be the only one), I thought I would put together a little post about the delicious cup of wonder that is chai.
The Magickal Properties of the Spices
Chai is full of so many herbs and spices that aid with protection and prosperity, I find it’s a great every day drink. And, if needed, it’s easy to add different things depending on what kind of boost you need that day. But for now, we’ll stick with the traditional.
The base of chai is Black Tea, which is used for prosperity, strength and fortitude.
Orange Zest- Oranges have many uses, and the peel is good for luck, divination, love, money and home & business blessing.
Ginger- My love affair with ginger is never ending. Ginger draws adventure and new experiences, as well as prompting self-confidence, prosperity and success. Ginger adds to the strength and speed of any mixture you add it to.
Cinnamon- Cinnamon is great for strength, protection, power and success as well as love, luck and prosperity. If I didn’t enjoy eating it so much, I’d use it as incense all the time.
Cardamom- Cardamom promotes love and fidelity, with a dash of lust in there too.
Star Anise- Promotes psychic abilities, awareness and brings power.
Cloves- Also great for protection, money, love and exorcism.
Black Pepper- Black pepper is a strong banishing spice. It will protect you from evil and aids in exorcism.
Nutmeg- Nutmeg attracts money and prosperity, brings luck and protection and can also help increase the intellect.
Vanilla- Vanilla beans are great for restoring lost energy, increasing energy and strengthening mental abilities.
Sweetening Your Chai
There are many sweeteners out in the world (my favorite being honey), so I’ve narrowed it down to my favorite four. Sweeten with whatever you feel is best.
Sugar (white/regular)- Sugar and sugar cane are used to “sweeten” up a situation, and for love, lust and sympathy.
Brown Sugar- See Sugar
Honey- Honey also has the same properties as sugar, but can also be used to hold things together. Attraction and binding are two other properties of honey.
Stevia- Though the magical uses of stevia are not known, it’s a good healthy alternative to sugars.
Choosing your milk
Different milks also hold different magical properties.
Cows Milk- Associated with power and success
Soy Milk- Associated with success in jobs
Coconut Milk- Associated with protection and spiritual cleansing.
Goats Milk- Associated with power and success
Suggested Additions
If you find you need an extra boost of protection and repelling negativity, add a dash of cayenne pepper. Cayenne also speeds up the effects of whatever it’s added to.
For an extra boost of nurturing, power and friendship, add some cocoa powder.
Feel free to add your own findings to this post!

witch’s herbarium: mugwort
mugwort in folklore, history, and medicine
in medieval europe, mugwort was used as a magickal protectant and a repellant against moths, fatigue, and evil. it was also used historically as a seasoning across europe and asia.
medicinally, mugwort tea is said to relieve problems associated with irregular and severe menstruation, as well as digestive and bowel issues. mugwort should not be consumed in large doses or by those who are pregnant.
topically, mugwort can help relieve muscle aches and joint pains. you can make an ointment of it, or relax in a mugwort infused bath. it is also a great antiseptic to help relieve acne issues.
in the primitive days of farming, mugwort became precious for its insect-repelling properties, which helped crops prosper. it has also been used in brewing historically, to help beer stay fresh for longer and give it notes of bitterness.
st. john the baptist is said to have worn a belt of mugwort when venturing into the wilderness for safety, while the romans put mugwort in their shoes to prevent physical exhaustion.
another name for mugwort is “sailor’s tobacco”, as throughout history sailors would smoke wild mugwort instead of tobacco for its alleged nerve-calming effects.
the magickal uses of mugwort
mugwort is associated with the moon, astral projection, and dreams. place some mugwort under your pillow to encourage prophetic and magical dreaming.
mugwort is helpful during divination and ritual work, as it enhances the psychic mind. drink some mugwort tea or inhale the scent of dried mugwort to help with focus and intuition.
the protective nature of mugwort makes it a great charm to hang above your front door to ward off unwelcome energies. you can also cleanse your ritual tools with mugwort water, which purifies them and amplifies their natural powers.
a little mugwort charm
to protect you and keep bad energy away

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.
Stone and Crystal Correspondences
I found an awesome app today called Stone and I really like it! {Find it here for iPhone} It has really nice photos and funny, helpful descriptions of each entry. I’m going to make a list of each stone that’s included and the tags/correspondences the app gives for each; think of it as a gift to you all in appreciation of the 3,000 follower milestone we hit today, haha.
The app is free, and if you’re interested in the subject matter, it’s a good one to download! 👍
