🍀 Oxalis in Magic! 🍀

🌱 Oxalis is a very common plant, and a great natural resource for beginning witches because of that!

🌱 Oxalis is bound to Venus and Earth, love and home respectively. This makes the plant perfect for home protection and similar spells home oriented.

🌱 They are also commonly mistaken for clovers! Which makes them great for glamours, they are able to masquerade as something other than themself without trying. The glamour can be made for love especially, because of the ties to Venus mentioned earlier.

🌱 They can be used for luck, not only because of their looks relating to clovers, but because of their own lucky and abundant properties. Use in money and wealth spells for abundance and prosperity, as well as luck spells! 

🌱 These plants spread deep roots, which means they can help you with grounding. They are good to eat so consider eating some and grounding yourself before big magical endeavors!

🍀Overall we can see that Oxalis is a very versatile plant, used for love, luck, home, abundance, grounding, glamours. So go out and collect some!🍀

Happy Witching!✨

Ya tenéis para entreteneros, a mi se me da bien, o sale por la ventana, según días.

Plant Spirits

Plant spirits are the spirits of the trees and flowers, the grass and moss, the spirits of nature, in the truest meaning. While some take on humanoid appearances and wander about the forests and fields, such as the nymphs, most prefer to not leave their plant, and instead are content to simply bask in the sunlight and spend most of their time talking to the wind.

Communication

Depending on the species of the plant spirit, they could be adept at verbal or visual communication, or both. However, many of them do not understand the human concept of time, and it could take weeks to get an answer or it could take merely seconds. Those that prefer to take humanoid appearances do tend to communicate through words, though there are exceptions to this.

Appearance

A lot of plant spirits that leave their plant do tend to keep some physical attributes that are similar to their plant. For example, I work with a dryad from a dogwood tree, and she prefers to keep her hair the same color as the flowers. However, this is not always the case. It simply depends on the spirit and their preferences. Also, those that do not leave their plant take on the appearance of that plant more often than they take a humanoid appearance.

Starbucks Brews for the Witch on-the-go

Disclaimer: No, I don’t work for Starbucks. Also, no, no one is paying me to write this.

Everyone knows modern life has a way of sneaking up on you, so what’s a witch to do when you’re out and need an extra magical boost? Honestly, if you happen to go Starbucks a lot–you can make simple brews to help yourself out!

Also, these brews are super helpful if you’re a closeted witch and you’re looking for other ways to flex your craft without drawing to much attention to yourself.

☽Study Boost/Get Shit Done Spell☾

Your favorite type of Coffee, OR  Black Tea, (English Breakfast tea, Earl Grey tea) OR Green Tea ( Emperor’s Cloud and Mist or Green Tea Latte)

cinnamon

nutmeg

Once you get your drink order, go the condiment bar and mix some cinnamon and nutmeg into your drink. Stir clockwise while envisioning you completing a task you really need done and say in your mind : “I will [insert what you want to do], I will get the task done! So mote it be!”

Coffee and tea are known as stimulants. Cinnamon is good for success and is a “fiery” spice–so you get you the boost you need. Nutmeg enhances the properties of cinnamon. This spell can also be done with iced drinks.

☽Self Love Spell☾

Passion Tango Tea

Vanilla powder

Honey

Grab your drink order, go the condiment bar and mix some Vanilla bean powder into your drink. Stir clockwise while envisioning filling yourself with love, “I know in my heart am worthy of love, I give the gift of Love to myself. So mote it be!” Once your done add a little honey!

Passion tea actually has hibiscus, cinnamon and rose hips which are normally used in love spells. The addition of the vanilla bean and honey enhances the love effect of the drink.

☽Calm yourself Spell☾

Peach Tranquility* OR Calm Chamomile* OR one of their Mint teas (Jade Citrus Mint Green Tea or Mint Majesty)

Honey

 Milk

Grab your drink order, go the condiment bar and mix in some Honey and a splash of your favorite Milk. Stir clockwise while taking a deeeep breath, envisioning yourself feeling calm and say in your mind “I feel calm, may this feeling of peace wash over me! So mote it be!”

Peach Tranquility/Calm Chamomile has well…Chamomile in it, which is known to soothe nerves. If you’re not a fan of Chamomile, mint has soothing properties that work great for this spell.

*= please do not drink Chamomile if you’re driving.

There you go! I hope these brews help out some people whilst they’re out in public and are in need of some witchy assistance.   

Lilacs

Today I picked lilacs which are EVERYWHERE around where i live. Im drying them out right now to get them ready to make oil! With the oil ill be making a skin care cream! Heres what Ill do Steps: 1. Let lilacs dry for about a week or so 2. put dried lilacs and base oil (such as olive, sunflower, etc) in a jar and let it sit for about a month, shaking every day 3. Use oil (i prefer with herbs still in) mixing with bees wax (a base for creams and lotions, etc). 4. Put aloe vera in the cream and there ya go!. Both aloe and lilac are good for skin conditions and sunburns. Such as rashes, sunburns, acne and many more! I’ll update as things progress! Geez by the time i finish… Ill have TONS of cream/lotion/what ever

Easy Blessing Candles Put tea light candles on a stove top (electric works best because it’s a flatter surface than gas stoves) on low heat. Melt the wax and then dash with herbs of choice. Then let them sit at room temperature to harden. 

Ok, witches! I gotta tell you about meteorological symbols!

There’s one for every weather condition you can think of! You can probably find a longer list in the back of a dictionary, or just search Google images.

You can use them as sigils on their own, or use them as inspiration to make your own sigils!

Use them for weather summoning!

Use the symbols as a substitute for certain weather conditions! For example, if a spell calls for rainwater and you live in the desert, use the meteorological symbol for heavy rain.

Use the metaphorical attributes of the symbols in spells! For example, a hurricane for added energy, or fog for concealment.

The list goes on!

Eucalyptus will: Help with all forms of healing, protect your home, enhance your financial success

The plant: Eucalyptus is native to Australia, Africa, India, and southern Europe. It is a very fast-growing tree with leathery leaves that contain an aromatic oil. When the flowers bud, they’re covered with a cup-like membrane, which drops off when the flowers open. The fruit are also cup-shaped and contain numerous tiny seeds.

Magical properties: The dried flowers make a powerful stuffing for poppets to be used for healing, emotional, spiritual, and physical ailments. Sprinkle the oil around the inside of your home to raise the spiritual vibration and dispel any residual negative energy. If you’re feeling financially strapped, rub the oil on your money to ensure abundance. To ward off illness, hand the dries leaves over your front door. If you sleep with the leaves under your pillow, they will induce sweet dreams and prevent colds.

Medicinal uses: Eucalyptus oil is one of the most powerful antiseptics. It’s also believed to increase cardiac strength. When the oil is added to boiling water, the steam helps break up a chest cold.

DIY All Purpose Cleaner Recipe

I’ve been using this recipe for a while now and there’s no use in having a recipe unless you plan on sharing. I use this recipe to clean any surface in our apartment that isn’t glass. 

-SUPPLIES-

-Bottle w/ Spray Top: I use a glass bottle that I bought from Amazon, but if you already have a bottle with a spray top, you can use that. 

-Borax or Baking Soda:  I use baking soda and I know more people have baking soda at home than Borax. **NOTE: Borax has been noted as unsafe to keep around animals and children so you have to make that decision for your household, but I’m letting you know this is good conscience**

-White vinegar:  That’s what’s in the glass apple juice bottle in the picture. We buy in bulk so I set some aside for immediate use and store the rest. 

-Castile Soap: I received this bottle as a gift, but this usually runs anywhere from $12-20 dollars depending on where you buy it. You use a small amount in this recipe so one bottle is going to last you for probably forever. 

-OPTIONAL SUPPLIES-

-Eucalyptus Oil: I keep eucalyptus oil around to help congestion/sinus infections, as a natural sunscreen, and as a surface germ killer in my bathroom and kitchen. 

-Tea Tree Oil: I keep tea tree oil on hand to soothe sunburns, in my skin routine, and a bunch of other things for around our apartment. It kills mold and is included in a lot of different DIY cleaning solution recipes. 

-RECIPE & INSTRUCTIONS-

1 teaspoon liquid Castile soap

1 teaspoon baking soda (or borax)

2 tablespoon white vinegar

2 cups hot water

OPTIONAL:

½ teaspoon eucalyptus oil

½ teaspoon tea tree oil

Mix all ingredients together in a spray bottle. This solution is good for any surface but glass. Just spray, scrub, and wipe off.
