Samhain 2022 Ritual

It's my first time truly celebrating Samhain so I wanted to share it with everyone~ I was late posting my Samhain ritual to Patreon so I will be allowing the public to view it~ I will be performing the ritual later tonight, so I will be posting the pictures here and on my patreon.

Please go check out the ritual here-> https://www.patreon.com/posts/74031062?pr=true

I’m gonna say it:

I don’t believe in 💵money magick💵. I believe that it is all either hard work or luck based. No way will I ever put my energy into “gaining a fortune” because I am already on that path, every day, with my good work ethic and saving/budgeting habits.

🍀🍀🍀

The best way to achieve better finances is looking for better opportunities, taking that promotion, or even trying something else completely. Sprinkle in a little luck magick daily and something good may come your way!

🌼🌼🌼

Keep up all the hard work fellow practitioners, you’ll be blessed someday✨🌙

(This is just my opinion, if you still believe in money magick go on ahead, idk why but I had to get that one off my chest)

There’s 5 more days before my poll ends for the February Book Review! Please vote through the link below~

January 2023 New Moon Meditation

I personally do not perform ritual on New Moons. I take this time to relax, unwind, and break free from my stressors in life. I wrote this small meditation for those who would like to meditate during this time or use it in their ritual practice :)

Purpose:

To cleanse and protect yourself during this time of low energy. From here to the Full Moon, you will gradually increase your energy and release the negative energies that bother you here and now.

Use: 

This meditation can be treated as its own small meditation whenever you need it or when it’s necessary, but can also be used for those who do rituals on the New Moon.

Meditation: 1) Get into a comfy seated position or you can lie down and take 3, long deep breaths. Breathing in for 4 seconds, holding for 1 second, and releasing for another 4 seconds.

2) Imagine roots growing from your tailbone into the Earth below and ground yourself during this time. Letting go of all past, present, or future stressors.

3) Continue breathing and look at the dark New Moon within you. The New Moon represents positive changes and setting new intentions for the coming Full Moon.

4) Think of your intentions for the weeks leading to the Full Moon. This could be building a better habit, eating better, making healthier choices, or just feeling more positive and more energized.

5) Continue to breathe. Do not let anything stress you during this time. Relax. Everything is okay during this time, this time is for you and no one else.

If you cannot shake a thought or feeling, embrace it and say to yourself: “This is not a time for this”

6) Continue to be in the present, guided by the New Moon and the journey that it would like to take you on. Let it flow.

7) Whenever you are ready. Lift your hands above your head and say: “The New Moon brings me courage, the New Moon brings me intent. These are my intentions that I do wish to set.” Say as many times as you’d like. 

8) Open your eyes and stretch a little. You can journal about this meditation journey or go about your day, remembering your intentions throughout this time.

If you have any questions for me, please leave me a question in my 'Ask me Anything' section on my page :)

What is your favorite magickal jewelry you like to wear?

I love wearing any jewelry that has color correspondence and/or has true meaning for me. I used to wear a ring that was also a mini watch that was in the shape of a bee. Bees for me are like a counterpart to the rose, they are sweet yet can sting but, for the bee, it will cost it’s life. I grew up having to learn multiple anger management techniques and I truly identify with having to keep a cool head in order to not ruin this lovely life that I have.

Happy Full Moon, witches!~

As practitioners of the craft, we like to study and try recipes from the books we buy in our favorite holistic shops. Join me as I follow a recipe for the first time from one of my favorite books! Book will be revealed on live! Can’t wait to see you all there!

I will be going live on 3/7/2023 @ 11:00am MST

EDIT: Thank you all who joined me today! Hope to see you all again sometime soon~

What is meditation to you?

I personally have a connection to meditation through doing all of the above throughout the week. Sometimes I don’t have time to sit down and relax, so I meditate through doing house chores. Sometimes at work, when I’m feeling incredibly stressed, I take a moment to breathe a couple of deep breaths and easing the tensions in the body. So what style do you prefer? 🧘‍♀️

April 2023 Tarot Reading

Deck: Disney Villains Tarot Deck written by Minerva Siegel and illustrated by Ellie Goldwine

If this month isn't meant for creating goals, I don't know what other month it would be. 

The major arcana of The Chariot is driving forward and does not care who or what is in the way, Cruella gets what she wants there's no doubt about it. The obstacles that may come up this month may seem daunting at first but there is always a way around them when you think outside of the box. Don't let yourself down when things get difficult, instead look at it with a sense of opportunity.

The minor arcana, the Knight of Swords, is another force to be reckoned with. Percival McLeach is the embodiment of wants versus needs. McLeach wants every endangered species in his collection but it also doesn't mean he needs them. Think about your wants versus needs, what drives you forward this month that you really want but don't necessarily need? And what needs do you think needs to be tended? There may be several opportunities to reach your goals but this is what you want when there could be several opportunities to spend that extra five minutes tending to your personal growth and mental health as your need. Find a balance and routine that works for you! Don't let mental health drag your goals down as mental health and personal growth will always be on your list of goals whether short or long term.

I hope everyone has a wonderful April, a wonderful beginning to Spring, and a beautiful Ostara!

Let me know how you feel about witchtok. I’ve been interested in this subject lately and would love to look more into the thoughts and opinions of the genre.

I always forget this stuff! Thank you so much for making this!!!

Many of us have our own preferences for the crystals we work with. If you are called to use crystals, I encourage everyone to do some research on your own and to trust your intuition as the energy from some crystals may resonate with you more so than others. I recommend the tried and true Crystal Bible, by Judy Hall and Crystals for Beginners or Crystals for Healing, by Karen Frazier.

Introduction

Hello I'm Roxie !

I'm 20 years old and I've been practicing witchcraft since I was around 15 but I've been communicating / engaging with spirits since I was much younger; I'm a hedge witch and am trying to build up the confidence to finally do deity work. I aim to build up my homemaking skills, femininity, and the love between me and my boyfriend ultimately through my craft :)

I made this blog to document and talk about my journey growing as a witch and practicing witchcraft, my experience with a 6th sense and premonition dreams, and my familiar

If you're an active witchblr / pagan or witchcraft blog please feel free to each out or become mutuals with each other 🔮

Across the Veil

I've been seeing frequently around the web of people looking more into spirit communication and working with spirits with spooky season rolling around so I thought that making a series on my blog talking about safety and how-to's would be a good idea and get a bit more engagement on my page :) If you're interested and want to know more before you get started click the 'keep reading'...if you dare

1. STOP GETTING ADVICE OR TELLING PEOPLE TO GET ADVICE FROM TIKTOK

I genuinely cannot express how DANGEROUS this is. I deleted tiktok nearly a year ago now, and to give credit there are respectful and knowledgeable practicers on there that do warn people, but for the most part people are giving harmful advice on what to do because they want something and want it now or they are teenagers with very little experience (respectfully) There are plenty of very old and wise websites that are run by very wise and in-tune witches or psychics that have been doing this for years and will give you real tips on what to do if spirit magick or communication is what you want to dive into The best way in my opinion to learn (at least for me) is to buy or look for older books on rituals and spirits but always double check the authors credibility and use your own intuition to know if they're spitting possible BS before you buy it

2. Never actively reach out or try to provoke a spirit.

When I was younger and realized what I was frequently seeing were spirits, I became obsessed and wanted to see them all the time or really test how close I could get and if I could possibly even talk to them outside of when I was sleeping. More often then not though, what I learned was that the spirits that you'll end up reaching out to the most, especially without wards or protection on you, are ones that are miserable, upset, or are looking for someone to latch onto to share their pain with or to not be lonely anymore. Spirits are shy and sometimes more afraid of you then you are of them. I often see them more in the reflects of smaller mirrors in my room that I have cleansed or lingering in isolated areas just observing; I once however had a spirit latch onto me for almost 2 weeks to the point I slept with my door locked and my familiar in my room and had to actively avoid dark zones in my mom's home for it to leave, and when I was much younger I had a spirit tormenting me at night for a year so much that I slept with a bible under my pillow and a cross in front of my bed to keep it away. 3. If you hear something talking to you in the woods or at night in your home outside of your protected place like your room NEVER talk back to it

In the part above I mentioned a spirit that latched onto me and made me lock my doors at night. I was probably 17 at the time and still living at home with my mom and younger sister, I was getting water and it was around 11 pm when I hear something around the corner and into the dark hallway outside of the kitchen where I had the lights on saying "What are you looking for Roxie?" in a distorted voice that sounded like my mom's but gave me the chills since I knew that it wasn't her. I looked around and she was in her room with the door shut, and it was just me and my familiar in the kitchen where he was eating before I promptly turned away and turned the lights off before heading to my room and calling for my familiar to also come to bed. For the next two weeks it became more and more persistent, hiding and watching in the dark corners of rooms to the point I could nearly see an outline of it. I had to lock the door because at night I would hear something touch the handle, or knock into the door and I would even hear a faint distorted meow that sounded a lot like my familiar but I knew it wasn't him because he was already in the room with me, often sleeping at the foot of my bed or sitting in front of the door just watching it. I never spoke to it or engaged with it, and only in my room where I knew I was safe I would lock the door and say, "I'm not going to share your misery with you, you need to leave." very firmly or would actively force myself to be positive and stay away from negative thoughts because that's the energy it was feeding off of.

Unless the ritual or spell you're performing is actively needing spirit guide or help to work or be strengthened, leave the other ones alone and it is just my personal preference and advice to only work doing the evening or early in the morning when there is still a bit of day light out just incase the wrong spirit tries coming to you

Blessed Yule!

Yule, Yuletide or the winter solstice, happens usually around the 21st to the 25th (it depends for each year!) The winter solstice is a celebration of the longest night and shortest day of the year: after that, days will get longer again! It's a great time to celebrate home, family, friends, and reflect on ourselves. It also celebrates the eternal cycle of light and dark, life and death.

Crystals that are good to have for Yule are Ametrine, Orange Calcite, Ruby, Turquoise, Garnet, Bloodstone, Snowflake Obsidian and Onyx

For food, you can think of fruit (like oranges!), dried fruit, nuts, or even drink cider!

Colors that go well for Yule are, of course, red, green, white, silver and gold!

What to do for Yule

Decorate a Christmas/Yule tree. It's also a great activity if you are still in the broom closet

Bake a Yule log (the cake!), gingerbread cookies, plum pudding, or other recipes you usually make for the holidays. For example, fruit pies are always a big thing in my house during Christmas, so I also bake some for Yule!

Since Yule is a great time for reflection, make sure you take some time for that. Sit down and think about what happened in your life this year, meditate on it, try to see what was good and what was bad, and how to fix/change the latter. Do shadow work. Be grateful, make bullet points of your year's highlights. Using divination tools, like making a tarot spread about yourself/your situation, is also a great way to do that. Sometimes, it's even easier because the tool might bring up points you would've never thought of.

Have fun with family and friends! Yule is about the love and warmth around you, that also goes for the people you love.

Take a cleansing bath or shower! It's time to let go of things that you don't need anymore: and cleansing yourself helps to move on, to get rid of energies that no longer serve you. It will make some space for new things to come!

Go take a walk outside! Go appreciate the cold and how calm winter is.

Watch the sunrise and sunset. Afterall, it is the shortest day of the year, and it's nice to really see it.

With all that being said, I wish a blessed Yule to all! Take care of yourselves and have fun :)

Though! I have a pure obsession with the moon. I want to look out my window and just see her glaze.

On this night I do not see her but I feel her within me shining bright and her engery glazing so much light!

My fairy / witch bedside table. I keep all these crystals next to me to charge my mind for the next day! A lot of these are good for sleep, happiness, protection and strength

I’ll hopefully be uploading some witchy content soon, but there may be a bit of a pause; I have exams next week so I’ll be studying non stop! :)
