We had a bit of a heatwave here in the UK last week, Tuesday being the hottest day.

I knew there was rain forecast and it was desperately needed to clear the air.

I stood out in the garden on Tuesday evening and recited the following (which I made up on the spot) over and over again:

Persephone and Hecate hear my call
Bring the rain down, make it fall

I like to think I contributed at least a little to the glorious rain that began to fall shortly afterwards.

As you gave the ingredients for your serum, you said ā€˜bitchā€™ was one of them, ha ha
I think itā€™s essential that at the end of your recipe you give directions and to bitch as needed.

Hey that is a lot, I am saying a prayer for your protection and speedy healing after surgery. I love that you shared so vulnerably and I think you are very brave.

You shared an image of a chakra sortof slab with geometric shape. Reminds me of the Flower of Life but I havenā€™t completed my studying. Can you say more on what this symbol on the stone in your pic means? :pray:

This symbol is Metatronā€™s cube and is said to contain all the geometric
shapes and patterns that exist. It symbolizes balance, harmony, creation, protection and healing. The one I posted actually has a hook on it so I can wear it as a pendant as well (on a chain). You can find lots of stuff on line about it but hereā€™s a good one: What Is a Metatronā€™s Cube ā€” and Why Is It Significant? - Symbol Sage

I use it for healing energy and to prevent any negativity from entering my space, I love it!! Thank you so much xo

At the weekend I went on a mini holiday to Alton Towers and I created some protection sigils and charged them with music whilst I packed.

Iā€™m back at it again with the lavender (just kidding- I havenā€™t stopped :joy:) and am using it to stuff some lavender pillows and sachets. I guess the crafting inspiration from last week has kept me going into this week! :scissors: :thread:

While sewing the little bags, I played around with a few chants and sayings to bless the pillowsā€¦ but there wasnā€™t any one in particular that stuck. So I decided to simply channel positive energy and good wishes with every stitch :sewing_needle: :two_hearts:

With every dip of the needle, I wished for peace and relaxation to whoever holds the pillow. Nothing fancy, but simply sweet! Just sewing a little magickal intent into the work :blush:

Blessed be! :sparkles:

Tiid saagha Dovahzul! Daar koor, pogaan kaviirre lahney naal zuā€™u. Goraan kaviir vos zuā€™u boha lovun, ful nusul, zuā€™u drey komaan saaga draan fah nii. Zuā€™u drey saag:

Time to speak Dovahzul!
This summer, there are many rabbits living near me. One young rabbit lets me come near it, so yesterday, I decided to say a prayer for it.
I said:
please protect this young rabbit, great dragons
Keep all harm at bay
May it live long and healthy,
Free from illness and injury
So mote it be!

Maybe someday Iā€™ll be able to rhyme in Dovahzul.

Thanks for another fab post! I donā€™t know if this counts as casting or spells or not, but hereā€™s what I do (fitting it in while unpacking will feel good I bet):

  1. I lay down in the grass and look up at the trees. I watch the leaves flutter in the wind, I watch the clouds and enjoy the beauty of the sky. Sometimes i do yoga ir breathwork during, and recite silently, ā€œI breathe in calm, I exhale anxietyā€ etc.

  2. My father said when he brought me on hikes when I was 3, heā€™d ask me where the faeries are and Iā€™d always answer in the water. So sometimes I like to look for them there or just talk to the plants, mushrooms etc near water. I havenā€™t encountered any as an adult or seen them with my eyes, sadly; only that we saw some flying around me in some pics back when I was a teen. They looked like little glow balls but we checked the camera and lighting and it definitely wasnā€™t just a trick of the camera/sunlight.

So Iā€™ll try to do some nature watching and look for fairies before Wednesday! :slight_smile:

What a fantastic challenge! I love this especially because it is a great reminder to me that I donā€™t necessarily HAVE to be formal in every instance and that even if I have only 5-10 minutes, I can still weave magick into my day. Since I started officially in the practice, I have tried formal spells and rituals, but I have found that the magickal can be found in the mundane all of the time. For example, prior to the end of last week, when I officially ended with my super toxic workplace, I used to bring my black obsidian buddha stone with me to work for protection. I also have a sunstone that I wear regularly. Before any meetings that I used to have, I would shut myself in my office and turn on relaxing music and I would meditate and say a protection chant, asking the god and goddess to provide me strength and courage.

I am also a huge believer in Law Of Attraction (LOA) and I weave this into my magickal practices as well. I am currently reading a book called Project 369: The Key to the Universe. I am taking what I am learning in this book and applying it in my ritual and spell work - specifically when I am using visualization or calling on the God and Goddess to assist me in my journey. I also like to use divination in my every day life to assist me in making decisions or helping to keep my courage and strength up. I recently purchased a few new oracle decks, and one of my favorites of those is the Sacred Forest Oracle. I try to use it at least a few times a week to provide me with guidance and insight about what is going on in my life. Usually, I will take 5-10 minutes and go into my spiritual room to do this. I will first use my Tibetan singing bowl to clear my space, my energy, and the energy of my cards. I will then center myself, ground myself, and focus on my intent and my question, asking the spirit for guidance. Usually, I walk away from those readings with such a clear picture and a clear answer about whatever it was that was troubling me prior to doing the reading.

I love the idea of mixing the magickal into the mundane. I think there are so many ways to seamlessly weave the practice into every day life so that it starts to feel more familiar and less like its a ā€œchore.ā€ I know that for me, when I am learning something new, I can get especially overwhelmed and I will give up or just stop focusing on it, but when I can easily include little components into my flow, then it does not feel like its so difficult to learn.

What an amazing challenge! I appreciated this so much because I can now see that although sometimes it feels that I take long ā€œbreaksā€ from practicing my craft, that in reality, I do not. What a great reminder!

I will share here also the book that I am currently reading in case anyone else is interested. Blessed be, everyone. :heart_eyes:

Happy Monday!
For this Challenge, Iā€™m looking back over the week, and I seem to somehow implement a bit of magick every day.
I start every morning with one tarot card. This has become super important to my daily ritual. It keeps me self-aware and contemplative.
I go outside and water my garden babies :tulip::sunflower::wilted_flower: while acknowledging the beauty of Mother Earth.
I pick one piece of jewelry to wear every day, whether itā€™s a little moon/star earrings, a crystal or stone necklace, or a moon necklace, and I always have my moon/star ring with my dogā€™s ashes inside. (I carry her ashes every day in some way)
I saved a large number of wedding flowers that were donated to our Nursing home early in the week and hung them to dry for the next month. Iā€™ll use these for spell jars and sachets and to beautify my altars.
I delivered my sonā€™s witch bells yesterday, and they loved them! Explaining the items and ingredients, I carefully picked to protect them :heart:
I am thankful for something I did this week: Iā€™m getting closer to menopause. Iā€™ve had a couple of glorious months with no cycle ( happy dance under the moon) and then whammy, a hefty 2-week long cycle that finally had me laying down with my hands on my lower belly intently thinking, ā€œEnough now, we canā€™t keep this up, Iā€™m leaving on a trip in 1 weekā€ lol. The following day I pulled my morning tarot card, the Death card. I reached out to my sister, and she said that means your cycle or youth is ending. I was saying, ā€œyes! bring on my crone phase!ā€ By noon that day, my cycle had cut way down and was over within 24 hours. Blessed be! :rofl::joy::rofl:

Have a wonderful week, ladies! :heart:

Weekly Witchy Challenge- Casual Casting

Well PJā€™s it is!! My casual casting mainly consists of using my crystals. I almost always have one in my pocket, even in my pajama pockets!
Like a lot of us in the West, I have been doing rain :sun_behind_rain_cloud: chants and trying to call in the rain :cloud_with_rain: when itā€™s near. Oh yeah, I was in my pjā€™s one day last week when I called out to the clouds for rain!
We had a couple of showers a couple of days last week but it wasnā€™t even enough to water the garden :face_with_diagonal_mouth:
Maybe I need to add a dance to my chanty little songs!! and some herbs or an herbal spray maybe :thinking:
