I also look for signs from other realms reoccurring Angel Numbers, items moving in my home when asking for a sign I have an Angel ornament which belonged to my Mum which turns regularly I feel that she is giving me guidance, communication and helps me stay connected since her passing which is very comforting that we still have a strong bond. I try to be open minded and do want feels right. Trusting my instincts and judgements as long as it does not hurt or harm anyone. Blessings ❤ ---

Sunny Saturday 😀🌺🪴 Today my first lot of laundry is hanging outside and I have called on the elements. I am now on my third next are indoor doormats. I am thanking as I going along. I have also started katharina‘s tip with regard to the disposal of rubbish and will do this when I declutter our Potting Shed. Ii is satisfying to incorporate any tips in our daily routines which are quick and meaningful. Blessings be ❤ ---

Super Saturday Sorcerers, Moonbeam, Yes, I see Angel Numbers quite often. I love being able to incorporate magick into my everyday life. I try to remember the “banishing” as I was dishes and take out the trash. I love your monthly check in. I do this for my clothing every 6 months. I like this idea of checking on all the “stuff” each month!!! Lady Gene 🗑 ---

I hope your message gave you reassurance. For me living simply and intentionally aligns with my current path as everything you own needs looking after and sends silent messages for you to do ie, you buy an indoor plant and when you look at it it tells you to check it’s leaves, feed and water, a laundry basket need washing, drying, ironing. I therefore only keep items that are very sentimental, love and want around me like my crystals, spell jars etc. I regularly declutter and also digitally. If I buy something new something has to go. I have a capsule wardrobe where I only keep what I know I will wear and not keep something that I may have bought a few years ago thinking that I might wear it again but never do as I still need to look after it also it limits decision fatigue. If I am unsure if something then I will put in a box for another month to give me time to avoid regret. I donate to charity or give it away to somebody who might want it. I am very organised by having morning and evening routines I call it re-setting and everything has a place this helps my home and myself run more smoothly as my family know where everything is and it goes back to its place afterwards, I keep an ongoing shopping list which helps keep track. I can understand if this sounds extreme, part of it is habit and my career I think plays a part as I am a Legal Executive/Para Legal in a Solicitors Practice (Law) in the Residential Property Department which can be very stressful with time restraints and responsibilities and ensuring that everything runs smoothly for your clients. Having this in place gives me more time to spend time with my family/extended/animals and best friend, self-care and of course my craft. Apologies for the long post. Happiest Blessings 💚 ---

Wow Moonbeam, We do have so much in common there!! I look at “things” as needed. Thinking back, all my “gifts” for birthday, christmas, anniversary, valentines…you get it….I always thought what I needed/wanted. Not just wanted. So, I hear ya!!📣 Lady Gene :divination_crystal_ball: ---

Thank you. I also use technology to automate schedules as much as I can setting blinds, dishwasher, washing machine, coffee machine, lights, heating, dehumidifiers, ventilation, indoor/outdoor cameras, payment of bills, deliveries on certain days when I am at home apart from grocery shopping as I do prefer to choose my own produce and go for a coffee and have a catch up with my Husband before returning home it is the little pleasures that uplift you, reduce mental fatigue from the growing to do list giving you more headspace making things easier day to day and have more slow living. It reminds of the phases of the Moon and to let go of things that no longer serve me and to pause, observe, cleanse, detox, rest, be grateful for what truly matters. Blessings 💚🌱🪴🌺 ---

I so get “making things easier”. As you are doing, isn’t that what technology is for? To make our life easier to ENJOY, not make it simpler so that we have more time to “do stuff”. Well, Moonbeam have a great day!! Lady Gene :phoenix: ---

Hi Lady Gene Yes totally agree. Today I have been to a garden centre, had a coffee in the cafe looking at herbs for my planters will be going to a few more over the coming weeks to see if they have more variety . The weather is going to get colder again so I will wait a bit before buying any. Have a good day too Lady Gene whatever you might be doing 🌘 ---

I have another tip which makes most of the summer months I dry thyme, Rosemary, Lavender, Oregano, Hyssop in bunches tied with twine and hang them on my washing line and clip bay leaves and leave them on a table to dry out it is lovely to. When the weather is not good in my Potters Shed Blessed Gardens and Plants 🌔💚 ---

hi everyone! I don’t have much wisdom to offer at the moment but I’m hoping I can get some help with substitutions for spells and bags etc? for example, I need sandalwood but can’t seem to find any, is there anything I can use to substitute for this? I had more in mind but can’t seem to think of them now, but honestly, I would appreciate any insight on substitutions at all, it doesn’t have to be just for sandalwood. Also, Sorry in advance if there is a section on the site for this. Sorry in advance if there is a section for this already, I’m still learning to maneuverer the website 😅 Thank you all for any help you can offer, and Blessed Be ✨ ---

Thank you and yes, please try it and let me know, if it worked for you. 💜 > [@underwaxingmoon](#): > > I need sandalwood but can’t seem to find any, is there anything I can use to substitute for this? According to Cunninghams book “Incense, Oils and Brews” Sandalwood can be substituted with Cedar. But depending on your magickal intent and use there will be more possibilities. **Magickal properties of white sandalwood are:** Protection, making wishes, healing, banishing, spirituality - Protection: rosemary, juniper, basil, mugworth, stingnettle, juniper (to name just a few) - Making wishes: bay leaf, sage, tonka bean, pommegranat, hazelnut - Healing: mugwort, angelica, peppermint, olive (olive oil is a perfect base for healing oils), rose, eucalyptus - Banishing: pepper, chilli flakes, cayenne (do not put in incense blends though!!!) mugwort, clove - Spirituality: rose, mugwort, staranise, thyme, peppermint And look, here we have a whole course on herbs and their magickal uses!!

Katharina shared some great advice about sandalwood, so for other substitutions, you might find some of the printable pages about correspondences to be helpful. There are a few that list associations/correspondences of magickal items that can be handy when trying to find suitable substitutions. You can find them here: > **[Magickal Correspondences: Useful Printable Charts & Tables (PDF)](https://spells8.com/magical-correspondences-chart/)** > > Magickal correspondences are a fundamental concept in many occult practices, serving as a system of symbolic associations that connect different elements of the universe.

I have two light spiders living in my house in Greece where we stay for two months or somtimes more. They are my new pets and I treat them that way because there are some strange flying things that get into the cupboards and they took care of them. No more flying things in my house. This afternoon a small spider came walking up to me and spiritual this means that you are too busy with a lot of things. So I told her I will do less. She went away 🙃 [Previous page](https://forum.spells8.com/t/witchy-tips-what-are-yours/66830.md?page=2) [Next page](https://forum.spells8.com/t/witchy-tips-what-are-yours/66830.md?page=4)
