11/2/2019 0 Comments Creating Holy WaterThe concept of holy water is one found in religions from all over the world. In some faiths a specific river is holy, in others a priest must sanctify the water in order to make it holy, and in others holy water is created from an event, like a storm.
As we move into the rainy season, you can make your own holy water to use for cleansing, blessings, and clarity. For this working you will need a seal-able jar, a beautiful bowl, a quartz crystal, and two white candles. Leave the jar outside until you collect enough water to fill at least half of the jar. Wait until the next full moon and then set the bowl between the two white candles. Have your rain water handy. Do this working skyclad (or naked) if possible. Light the candles and then pour the water into the bowl while repeating this chant until you feel complete: Holy, holy, holy Water is life Life is a blessing Use your dominant hand to draw a pentacle in the water three times. Place the quartz crystal into the jar and pour the water back in. Close the lid and keep the jar in the refrigerator. Your own holy water! 10/3/2019 0 Comments October Ancestor Summoning SpellHalloween is also known as Samhain (pronounced Sow-in). It is believed to be a time when the veil between our world and the Otherworlds is thin. It is a time where we can more easily connect and commune with those that have crossed over. This ancestor summoning spells should be used when you want to connect to an ancestor whose lineage you have at least some basic familiarity with.
Supplies Needed: alcohol from ancestral lands (or spring water), ancestral food, candle, image of ancestral lands (or map), photos of any ancestors you have, and a bell. Set Up: Create a small altar for your ancestors. This can be on a small table, a book shelf, the edge of a desk. The size doesn't matter, just make some space. Place the image of ancestral lands or map on the flat surface. On top of it place the candle, photos, bell, candle, a small cup for the alcohol, and a small plate for the food. Spell: As you set up this space speak out loud to your ancestors. Let them know you want to hear their divine wisdom. Invite in those ancestors that are filled with love and want to see you thrive in the world. Light the candle, ring the bell, pour the alcohol, and put out the food. Take care of this space. Keep it clean. Keep the offerings of food and alcohol fresh. Make it a space that your ancestors would appreciate. And then......listen. 8/14/2019 1 Comment September Bottle Banishing SpellIf you notice a negative energy or presence in your home and you want to banish that, follow this simple bottle spell for banishing negative energy.
You will need the following items: -a small or medium sized mason jar with lid -13 rose thorns -the petals of one whole rose (ideally a white rose, but any color will do) -enough salted water or holy water to almost totally fill the jar At sunset drop each of the rose thorns into the jar. Do this with focus and intention. As each thorn hits the bottom of the jar say "I banish all negative energy from this place". When all the thorns are in the jar cover them with the rose petals making sure that you can't see any of the thorns. Then almost fill the jar with the sacred water. Leave the jar open overnight. Do not sit vigil or watch the jar. Just leave it in a place where it can be undisturbed. Before the sunrises in the morning close the jar tight saying "all evil is trapped inside". Wrap the jar in dark fabric and bury it somewhere far away from your home. 6/26/2019 1 Comment August Dispel Sadness SpellIf you have been struggling to clear sadness out of your life and space the following spell can help. This should not be used as a replacement for therapy or mental health support. However, this spell can aid any mental heath treatment you might be receiving.
You will need: small white candle, small piece of white paper, red ink pen, sewing needle, and honey. Find a time and place where you can be alone and undisturbed. Write down all your fears, sorrows, and worry onto the sheet of white paper with the red pen. Then hold the candle and read back (out loud) what you have written. Allow your body to release all of the sadness in to the white candle. Carve your name and birth date on to the candle using the sewing needle. Then anoint the candle and the piece of paper with the honey. Light the candle and burn the paper with the flame (being very careful with the fire! only use fire safe containers, and take care to be safe). Say this: I release my sorrow to the flame. Gone are sadness, grief, and pain. My troubles are gone forever more. To grief and sorrow I close the door. Let the paper burn to ash, repeating the lines above. Once the paper is gone focus on your body and the empty space you have created by releasing the sadness. Eat a teaspoon of honey and visualize the golden glow of it filling that empty space. Fill up your body with the warmth, glow, and sweetness of honey. (if you can't have honey use syrup). Sit with the candle until it is done burning, holding the visualization of warmth and joy filling you up. Eat more honey if you feel called. 6/21/2019 1 Comment July - Psychic PowerLooking to increase your psychic powers?

If there is a ring, charm, necklace, or bracelet that you regularly wear you can bless it for protection.
Make a protection oil with the following ingredients: 1 part lemongrass essential oil 1 part cedar essential oil 1 part rosemary essential oil Put the essential oil mixture into a carrier oil; like almond or jojoba oil. (The carrier oil should be a 10 to 1 ratio to the essential oils.) Add a pinch of dried hyssop and pinch of dragon's blood resin. Shake well. When all the ingredients are combined speak your intention out loud. Call upon your guides and allies to imbue this oil with their protection. Ask that anytime you use this oil you are safe and protected. Take a moment to feel that oil as a barrier from strife, trouble, or harm. Every morning anoint your piece of jewelry with this oil before you go about your day. Recite your intention and see yourself surrounded with protection. Blessed Be! 4/29/2019 0 Comments May Spell - Cleansing BathThis bath requires several drops of essential oils. Before adding anything to a bath make sure that you are not allergic to the ingredients.

From the ancient past through to the present day it was believed that a woman exposing her Vagina had the power to defeat the Devil. So great were the powers of a woman's Vagina that women were called upon to lift their skirts and display their genitals to bless and protect troops going off to war. Up to the 20th century in many Western countries, peasant women exposed their naked Vulvas to promote crops to flourish. Never underestimate the power of your Beloved Vagina.
