Ive Taken A Bit Of A Break From Some Forms Of My Practice So I Can Relax And Get Ready To Begin Work

What are you going to work on in your craft this week?

I’m going to work on meditation, reading some of my witch books, and reorganizing my altar for all of my deity offerings and setups that are coming in this week.

BEST WITCHY BOOKS FOR THE BEGINNER WITCH

Buckland’s Complete Book Of Witchcraft - This book is a most have in every Wiccan’s (If you are) collection because of how informative it is. I highly recommend this book to really every witch who hasn’t read it yet.

Good Offerings For Apollon

(an anthology)

-flowers -frankincense -chocolate -poems -songs -music -pictures -dancing -any kind of art -SINGING -wolfy things -he likes dolphin stuff too -swans -lyres -throw in a hawk symbol/thing while you’re at it -there’s this thing called the sun -also bows -and arrows -did i mention chocolate

I’m thinking about wrapping a deer antler I have with copper wire and wrapping crystals with the antler as apart of Artemis’ altar. I think it’ll look nice and mix a couple of her offerings together

Everyday Witchcraft

1. Meditate - still the mind, the breath, the heartbeat, open a channel through which the spirits can communicate if they wish to, listen.

2. Walk - honour the genii loci, notice the changing seasons, observe signs and omens, traverse the kingdoms of humanity, flora and fauna, give aid where it is needed.

3. Divine - build relationships with divinatory tools, sharpen skills, train intuition, ask questions, receive answers.

4. Invoke - the presence of spirits to assist in tasks, to protect on journeys, to grant guidance, maintain connections and uphold contracts.

5. Craft - use the hands to create, to construct, imbue each creation with spirit and purpose, a meal, a potion, a carving, a weaving, enchant the mundane and material.

6. Sing - the old songs, the power songs, the prayers, the chants, to heal, to awaken, to enforce, to ward, sing the sun to sleep and the moon to rising, sing in the bath, at the hearth, in the heart.

7. Read - widely and deeply, old and new, academic and popular, across boundaries and taboos, slowly and with full attention, take notes, research, reflect.

8. Write - record experiences, practices, thoughts. keep journals and grimoires, spellbooks and scripts, remember, elucidate, illuminate.

9. Draw - sigils and runes, symbols and signs. Carve, paint, scratch, blacken, redden, scrawl, in the sand, with salt, in the air, with chalk, ink, blood, charcoal, the mind.

10. Collect - herbs, woods, stones, feathers, bones, teeth, soil, the raw materials of natural magic, fill jars, boxes, bags, gather, forage, wildcraft, thrift, take that which is discarded, value the found over the bought.

11. Observe - the cycles of moon, sun, planets, stars, take heed with the eyes as well as the almanac, feel the sap rise, the birds migrate, the bulbs awaken, the leaves wither.

12. Renew - old spells, old wards, protections, and boundaries. Clean what is obscured, recast what has weakened, maintain what is working, replace what is lost. Tie up loose ends.

13. Communicate - with everything, stones, trees, spirits, the dead, that which grows in the garden and that which visits it, other practitioners, mentors, students, seekers, the younger self, the higher self, the wyrd.

Traveling Witchcraft

As I’m beginning to plan for my future, my girlfriend and I agree upon one thing: we want to travel. We want to buy a bus and go just about everywhere. But if my life is spent on the road how do I fit in witchcraft? Well, here’s my four R’s.

• Research! Research about where you’re going. Find out about the history, plant life, animal life, weather, etc.

• Respect. Don’t even think about practicing anything from a closed culture that’s not yours. Respect the local wildlife. Remember that you are merely a visitor. If you’re performing a spell somewhere don’t leave anything behind (including energy) pick up and cleanse after yourself. The list goes on but just remember your manners.

• Resourcefulness! You don’t need super expensive tools to practice witchcraft. Travel altars, homemade tools, and the like are just as powerful!

• Routine. Start a routine you can take with you anywhere. Meditation, visualization, affirmations, gratitude, and so many other tools will help you create an routine that you can keep with you wherever you go.

Comment with any other tips you have! Happy witching!

💗Lovely offerings to Aphrodite💗

Roses: all roses are sacred to Her.

Dark chocolates: known to be an aphrodisiac

Vanilla: organic is best

Sweet fruits: especially apples

Seashells: of all kinds

Sand: collected from the beach if possible

Seawater: if you don’t live near the ocean, make your own saltwater for Her

Olive oil: olive oil is liked by many deities

Golden honey: honey is another liked gift by many gods

Sweet perfumes: offer Her the whole bottle or wear some as a devotional act

Poems and hymns: make them about Her or about someone you love

💗Sweet devotional acts💗

Practice self-care and self-love

Feeding birds, bees, and fish and taking care of nature

Dancing

Enjoying the beauty of the world

Masturbate in Her name if you feel comfortable doing so

Music, either your own or a playlist that reminds you of Her

Remember to tell the ones you are close to your love

Do a little extra for yourself - a spa day, new clothes, go a little extra on your makeup even if it is just a normal day for you, etc.

💗Cute altar ideas💗

An altar to Aphrodite should be as beautiful as you can make it. Decorate it with ocean motifs, roses (real or fake), flower garlands, nods to Her sacred animals (doves, swans, dolphins,) art of Her or erotica, rose quartz, pearls, and bright colors that capture feelings of love and the sea. An altar beside a window, on a windowsill, a vanity stand, or somewhere with a mirror. If you need to keep it secret or wish to keep a travel altar, try to keep her altar in a pretty box adorned with floral or sea decorations or something like a makeup pouch.

Having an outdoor garden altar is also a perfect option for Her - make it bird and bee friendly, use organic products (ones without pesticides) on your plants, have bird-feeders around, and have a little place where you can safely light a candle or incense for Her along with an offering bowl and a place for you to sit and enjoy the beauty she brings to you.

Pentagram style ceiling hanger. Great way to charge moon water for spells.
