☽ Little Tips For Witches ☾

Letting Go Banishing Spell

What you will need:

-a piece of yarn

-a piece of paper and a pen

Ask yourself the following, and write a list for each:

-What old habits or patterns are no longer good for you or your relationships?

-What things from the past are taking a toll on your family and/or community and would best be forgiven and forgotten?

-What does our planet need less of to make it more healthy?

Choose one item from each list that you genuinely wish to banish and get rid of. Take a piece of yarn and make three knots in it, one for each issue. As you make each knot think of each situation clearly and imagine it being firmly bound inside the knot. Bury the knotted yarn where sun, wind, and rain cannot touch it. Let it rot away.

Astro Witch 101

So, you love astrology but have just realised that you are no longer just your sun sign. It’s a confusing and intimidating thing for a beginner astro-witch to see. That’s why I have decided to create a little guide to help anyone out. This will be the very basics but will be added to over time. Baby steps for baby-witches.

Terminology

Sun Sign = The controller. This is your main sign. The sign you have known your whole life thinking that’s where it ended.

Moon Sign = Your inner-self. Your emotions, inner-thoughts, wants and needs are all controlled by your moon sign.

Ascendant/Rising = Acceptably called either, the Ascendant/Rising is your natural mask in the face of society. So basically, this is how people view you.

Mercury = A very important sign, it rules your decision making mind. It is how you communicate and can be easy to spot in a person.

Venus = This sign rules love and finances.

Mars = Most represent Mars with anger, and this is true. But it is so much more than that. This sign rules our animal instincts, energy, action and sexual desires.

Jupiter = This sign covers rules both generosity, tolerance and wisdom.

Saturn = This sign represents fears, our limitations and responsibility

Uranus = This sign is all about individuality. Progressiveness, forward-thinking and fresh-starts.

-rising signs as I know them🌿

Aries rising: That type who says things, offensive lot of time, without realising it. Their words cut. The fighter. The one who fights for whatever feels worth it. The one who will cry when no-one sees. Tries to catch attention, sometimes they are not trying at all. They are the people who laugh at silly jokes or laugh at literally everything. Hot headed tho. Ready to smass anyone if it's needed. Sadly people may hate on them without reason. But they're one of the most loyal and reliable creatures out there.

Taurus rising: They observe everything that happens. Notice every single detail but don't say anything. Also notice every difference at people character, acts, vibes. Fun to be around. Weird type of beauty. Realistic expectations but deep down inside they believe that magic always happens, they believe they can do the impossible. Appear as a cold person but they are not once you know them. They can't open up easily to others. Shy. Really calm and they can relax others too.

Gemini rising: Impulsive. Act before they think sometimes. Anxiety for everything. Knows everything for everyone. Cries a lot but they prefer to keep it for themselves. Talkative and usually smile a lot. Worries about every subject. Likes to be the center of attention. Looks like dolls, with cute characteristics. Dreamers. One of their dreams is to travel as much as they can. Can lie to get out of a trouble. Unfortunately they can lie about everything without reason. That's why people tend to not rely on them. Witty as well.

Cancer rising: They love to stay home. That's the aura and vibes they give tho, they feel like home. Likely to have one cozy place at their house only for them. They like blankets too. Warm hearths full of love. Motherly way of love. They love children and animals so much. But can be possessive with their loved ones, because of their fear if their loved ones find someone better. It's sad that they can't feel enough no matter what. Low self-esteem.

Leo rising: Act like lions. Not afraid to be alone and fight for everything they want. Ambitious but get frustrated easily. Enthusiasm. Can be selfish and self-centered. Looks royal. Fiery way of love. They give everything but rarely get back what they have given. Also they remind me of gold. Very beautiful, expensive and bright. But not all people gonna see their worth. Don't take it that personally. I have observed that usually are tall people.

Virgo rising: An extrovert introvert. Can communicate with the others, even if they met them two minutes like they know them all their life. Can be in every friend group but still be an introvert. They keep things for themselves and just listen the other during a discussion. As a Mercurian kid are very intelligent and curious to learn more. Can be freak about their health. Discretion, courtesy and modesty.

Libra rising: People who always have a smile at their face. Very protective especially with their friends or partner. Charming Venusian. Once they care about you never stop. They try to balance everything at their life, sometimes try to balance others life too. There are times when they are quite determined and dynamic and other times their insecurities bring them to the need for support from those close to them. They can be impulsive and unambitious as well.

Scorpio rising: Mysterious, dark aura above you. Really intense eyes. They have developed intuition and great magnetism. They have a rich imagination and they like that it has to do with mystery, metaphysics and spirituality. They are distinguished for their great endurance, determination and perseverance. Many difficulties through their life, especially at childhood. Can be clingy and possessive because of their super intense way to love.

Sagittarius rising: Childish humour. Generally they act like kids or teenagers. Carefree and lack of fear. Bold. They manage to overcome all the obstacles and difficulties of life simply with a smile and in a good mood. Very generous. They have open spiritual horizons and easily adapt to situations, changing perceptions and ideas when they discover the new that overthrows the old. They do not remain static and have no obsessions. But lack of patience does not allow them to reach their goals

Capricorn rising: Dominant personality. They are restrained in the manifestation of emotions, they express their feelings only when they feel intimacy, confidence and security. They are very critical of others but especially of themselves. Cold and distant around anyone who don't know. Warm hearted and giving around people they trust. They remind me of ice. Unbreakable if you don't know how to manage them and you don't have patience. They melt with everyone who finally got to know them and had the patience.

Aquarius rising: A popular loner. They belong everywhere and nowhere. Very different from the ordinary. They like it tho. Very beautiful and mysterious also. They are a spirit of contradiction and controversy, and a revolutionary many times for no reason. They are ready to offer their help and support to anyone who needs it. They support people even if they made mistakes, made bad choices. They try to change the society and make it with more justice, fun. Can be really egocentric and they have high standards, sometimes impossible.

Pisces rising: A psychic, a healer. They are a sensitive and compassionate people. They feel joy and satisfaction to offer their help generously to their fellow human beings and they can even sacrifice their personal desires to give support around them. They have a rich imagination, they are a dreamer and many times they create in their imagination a dream world of their own which is very far from reality. They give up their weapons easily, they do not have much self-confidence and they do not have the perseverance to fight to achieve what they want.

Thrifty Witch Thursdays: Hagstones

Whilst focusing on hagstones I wanted this to be a reminder that witchcraft is whatever you have and whatever you can find. Go back to nature, you find a twig or stone you like? Pick it up, thank your deity for the gift and take it home.

Hagstones/Odin Stones/Seers Stones are stones which naturally have holes in them due to being worn by water, whether that’s the sea or a rolling river.

There are many myths around these stones and I invite you to find your own which you like. Some say if you look through the stones you will see the fae world and be able to see through glamours. Others say you will see a person’s true self. 

If you write a wish on a piece of paper and put it through the hole it could come true.

They are linked to Odin, by resembling the hole he had to bore through the mountain to reach the sacred mead.

I found these stones in Portsmouth, UK, and I was lucky to find quite a few as it was a fairly pebbly beach. If you’re lucky to live near a pebbly beach I think you’ll find a few too. Otherwise they can be quite rare. If you really wish for one and keep your eye out you’ll sure to come across one!

(Please don’t buy these for extortionate prices online, I understand you may not have the ability to find them due to where you live but I’d hate to see anyone get ripped off for our craft. I have a few, if you’d absolutely love one I will be happy to send you one.)
