Online Grimiore

This is an online BOS for babywitches, and myself. In this I’ll be expalining it in a way I would’ve wanted it explained when I was starting out. I’m still a baby witch, so I of course don’t have all the answers, but what I do know about, I’ll write here.

This Grimiore/BOS will be divided into Sects, each will have a “page” (post) dedicated to a topic or thing. I may touch base with something on one page but make another page dedicated to that thing specifically later if it hasn’t been written yet.

Witch Tip: Get to Know Your Spell Ingredients

Get to know your spell ingredients. Just because one ingredient is good for money doesn't mean it's a good fit for you.

There are a lot of parts to getting to know an ingredient.

You can research its functionality if it has an herbal use whether medicinal or culinary - the classifications of herbals help a lot in understanding a component's working in your spell, ie - how it will do what you want it to do. A warming herb has a different effect than a cooling herb, for example. An herb that drys out the body can also be used to dry out a situation. A purgative can be used to clear things.

You can research the historic uses of the spell ingredients - I would look at both medical and magical uses here. Though we have debunked a lot of old medicinal uses and I by no means mean to suggest that you use herbs by their old medical uses, these practices give an idea of the nature of the plant. Over time, particular cultures develop an understanding of specific planets and if you are respectful, you may be able to tap into this shared knowledge.

You can hold and interact with the ingredient. This is a must for me before I will use anything in my spell work. I am an animist - I believe that all objects (both inanimate and animate) have a spirit - both their own individual spirit and a connection to the great over-arching spirit of their class. For instance, the basil plants in my garden are three things: each is its own individual basil plant, also a combined Basil spirit that is growing in my garden, and a piece of the spirit of Sweet Basil as a whole. When learning to work with the energy of a spell ingredient, I need to know how it feels. How it interacts with my energy. Is it calming? Does touching it make me go buzz buzz. How does it smell? How does it taste (if its safe to consume, of course)?

You can grow/harvest/gather/mine that ingredient yourself. This only furthers your knowledge of this ingredient. Did you see it when it was a tiny seedling? Did you plant it in the ground? Did you spend hours in the woods looking for the perfect specimen or find a field full on your walk home from work one day? Sure, the seashell you picked up on the beach may not be as perfect as the one you can buy online but you have already established a personal connection with that shell by choosing to take it home.

There are so many more ways. You can write/photograph/draw your object. You can meditate with it. You can potentially communicate with it through dreams or other means of divination. You can experiment with using this spell ingredient by doing your usual spell work with it in addition or substitution to something that you normally use - did it make a difference? How did working with that ingredient change your magic?

Take notes on the different ingredients you use and become the scientist in your own witchy life.

Stress/anxiety elixir

A dear friend has a terribly stressful event tomorrow morning, and I’m gifting him a vial of this potion to help ease his nerves the night before.

Materials:

Honey (local if possible)

Vanilla extract

Lavender extract (make your own here!)

Chamomile flowers

Hot water

Jar

Vials if distributing to loved ones

Combine 4-5 tablespoons of honey, ¼ teaspoon vanilla, ½ teaspoon lavender extract in a jar of your choice. Over steep chamomile by adjusting the ratio: i used ¼ cup chamomile flowers in my 2-cup teapot. After 5 minutes, add just enough tea to approximately match the amount of honey and seal. With a towel (it’s hot!) shake until honey is fully incorporated. Imagine the shaking to be throwing off all anxieties, worries, & stresses. Pour into vials to distribute to loved ones with directions to mix into a little warm water or milk and drink before bed.

Common Witch Misconceptions Pt. 1

Here are some common misconceptions I see both in and out of our witchy community.

We are all pagan.

This is very common, even in witch circles. There are many witches that aren't religious, many witches that follow religions that are not pagan (such as Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Shinto, etc.), and many witches that are atheists or agnostic.

We are all Wiccan.

Just... nope. Wicca is a religion, it does incorporate witchcraft, but witchcraft has been around a lot longer than Wicca has.

We all believe in the Three-Fold Law.

Again, nope. This is a Wiccan rule. It's a doctrine that Wiccans follow, not witches.

We all worship the Devil/Lucifer/Satan.

I'd say most of us don't even believe that the Devil exists. However, to those who do, most of them don't worship him. And to those who do worship him, they are not bad people and often see Lucifer in a different light than how Christians see him.

We aren't critical thinkers.

Hey, hi, hello, this one really bothers me. I understand thinking that we might be a little odd, but we aren't dumb or idiots for having a different spirituality than you. Many of us (at the least 4,000 on tumblr) are actually very into skepticism for witchcraft and believe that it is important to have!

Our magic is like the movies.

Nope. Not even close. All of the magic that I have experienced has been purely spiritual. I have never been able to summon fire, or move something telekinetically, or have those sorts of physical results.

Look out for part two! Hope this helps to dispell some misconceptions!

“A witch does not need to fix problems. She fixes the energy AROUND problems. Then the problems fix themselves…”

beginner’s guide to astrology

Hiiii, it’s werelivingarts. I’m back with another beginner’s guide to astrology! ☺️ 

Astrology is not 100% scientific but it is an art of interpretation on movement of celestial bodies when you were born. You may not fit in well in your sun sign because you have so many other signs that also may affect your personality! 🌌
