Valentine's OOOO kissy kissy

OK OK So, I've avoided the "of the day posts", they are just overwhelming. Things I love, I tend to hate when I feel obligated to do them. Especially when they take me hours to do and it seems as though no one ever reads them. On to this post:

I bought a grab bag from Inked Goddess at the end of last year during the Yule special edition sales.

In one of my bags was a book "White Spells for Love"
In somewhere around 20ish days is my least ok 2nd least favorite holiday of the year. It's right up there with Christmas Ya'll. 

So I decided, for those of you who don't hate it the way I hate it. 

A treat from the book. 



Things to keep in you "Love Box" (refered to in the book as a pink spell box for love) 



  •  candle holders 
  • pink candles that hold color as they burn
  • ribbons of any color but make sure pink and red are dominant
  • lavender and rose oils
  • rose petals
  • apple seeds
  • rosemary leaves
  • lavender leaves
  • rose quarts and other crystals
  • a statue or image of your favorite love goddess
  • don't limit yourself to these items let your thoughts and feelings dictate what else you add to your Love Box that is relevant to your love needs
(Anyone who knows me knows there's a jeep in that pink box, and also pink makes me want to puke.)

Side note Star signs have their own candle color. 


Aries & Pisces- White
Taurus, Gemini, Leo, & Capricorn- Red
Cancer-Green
Virgo & Libra - Black (this matches my soul so it's suiting that I'm Libra)
Scorpio- Brown
Sagittarius- Gold
Aquarius- Blue

When you have your "Love Box" ready (OK, I keep thinking of vagina, I dislike this "Love Box" term) 

Keep it in a special place and don't share its contents with anyone. This box is something private between you and the universe. 

(Um, excuse me teacher, if the universe knows... it's totally fake news on CNN right now and everyone knows)

Sometimes, it's preferable that you don't tell anyone about it. 

The new moon is a good time for all types of love spells -as the moon grows full so does your love and relationship needs. 

I'm done with magic 101 lets check out the spells....

The Self-Love Pouch Spell

 ... and I'm back to gutter brain.... 

Now that you have your affirmation, (I skipped that spell it didn't look fun, it looked magic 101 blocking out the negative, I WANT FUN BOOK LADY!) 
You are going to put together a pouch that you can carry with your or hang around your neck. It doesn't matter what material you use as long as the color is vomit...oops ... Pink

In addition to the pink ouch you will need 
  • 1 rose quartz
  • small piece of blue paper with "I love your name" on it
  • wooden shavings from a sharpened pencil -NO LEAD
  • 1 cooking clove
  • 2-3 drops of rose essential oil
  • 1 small twig full of rosemary leaves
once you've gathered all of the above, place each item separately into the pouch. As you put each item in the pouch, visualize self-love (hahahahaha) and loving yourself for who you are. Send out to the universe your thoughts of love for yourself, and at the same time you will be energizing your pouch. Once finished, wear it or have it with you at all times and at night place it under your pillow.

To Go Tips

Sexy: Stitch a red bow in the back of your undergarments to attract those who see past your clothes.

Crystal Power: Carry or wear a rose quarts to attract love within

Dreams of Love: Burn sandalwood at night and you will have prophetic love dreams of the partner you wish to meet.

Star Bright: Keep a star anise seed with you at all times to bring you the luck you need to find the love of your life.

Find romantic Love spell


Pick up the phone and call me

By now, you may have already found someone  you want to spend time with. But that love interest may not be calling you as often as you'd like to make a date so romantic love can occur. 

You will need: 
  • pink ribbon  (ugh again with the pink) 
  • rose quartz
  • tiger eye
  • glass of water, if you live by the ocean use sea water
  • teaspoon of rock salt
  • small piece of paper
Add the rock salt to the glass of water and submerge both of the crystals in this water. Take the glass out to your backyard and leave it out there for three days and three nights under the stars (sounds salty) 

Once you've done this, take the crystals out of the water and rub your hands together until they feel hot and tingly. Then take both crystals into your hands and hold them there, thinking intently of the person you wish would call you. Say out loud "Remember to call me you will, and other things I wish you to do to get to know me."
Write the persons name on the piece of paper, and then wrap the crystals together with the paper and use the ribbons to keep it all in place. Once you've done this, take your little crystal bundle out on a full-moon night and leave it out overnight on the grass. Next, place the bundle by the phone to receive your very important call. 

Relationship Spell

You don't listen to me


Sometimes you probably feel that your partner is just not listening to you, that the things you say go in one ear and out the other. This lack of communication can cause frustrations, disappointment, and needless arguments
 
  • You will need: 1 small bunch of fresh rosemary leaves
  • 5 lemon seeds
  • 2 cooking cloves
  • 4 coffee beans
  • 1 yellow candle
  • a small piece of paper you can write on
On a full-moon night, crush together with a mortar and pestle the lemon seeds, cloves, and coffee beans. Once you've done this, write on the small piece of paper your partner's name and the wish you have that he or she will listen to you more closely. Next, embed the yellow candle with the aromatic mixture you've created; as you do this, visualize your wish to be listened to. Place the piece of paper under the candle, light the candle, and let it burn all through in a place safe from wind. 



That's all I can't take any more pink and any more love. There's loads more in this cute little book.  As I stated before its called "White Spells for Love" written by Ileana Abrev (link is above in the mention)

She has other books also. I don't have any so I don't know them offhand, but it is mentioned in this book that she has other writings. 

Now "go love yourself" LMAO

Exploring Thoughts.. It is a Blog after all.

I have decided to blog today, not on birthdays or stones. Which are my favorite things, but types of witches.

Wha? There are more than one kind of witch

Well, yes little Jimmy there are.

There's a Celtic, White, Kitchen and Avalonian, and the list is simply endless. I'm sure you've heard of all the things that the term "Christian" represents: Catholics, Baptist, Pentecostal.  All those people who celebrate Christ's birth 2 seasons late. << Yea, I poked a bear. Put on your big girl panties and suck it up.

Witchcraft is no different. It's a blanket term.

So what has peeked my interest today?

Well you see, I went to the book store. I KNOW!! I was left unsupervised!

I found a new book!! What? You don't own them all?

I DON'T life goals, though. I need to make an electronic list of all the books I do own, so I don't end up with multiple copies (No real harm if I do, books are the gifts of my people!)

Today, I'm going to explore :  Murphy-Hiscock, Arin. The Green Witch

I like how its a "hard-to-find" title; I found it on accident. I have many books on greeness. This is actually my second title. I have a collection of herb books and mushrooms, etc.

So, What is a "Green" Witch


Urban Dictionary.
TOP DEFINITION
GREEN WITCH
noun. A witch specializing in the earthen world. A green witch is typically female, practices solitary, and is a Pagan. Green witches know much about the identities, myths, care, etc of plant life and seek to preserve it. They attempt to connect with the earthen world with New Age methods such as meditating. They acknowledge magic and use it in tune with natural forces to accomplish a goalaka using witchcraft. These goals may include, but are not limited to: hearings, protections, blessings. Green witches are usually knowledgeable in herbal-ism.



Now to the book, 

"Historically, a green witch lived apart, using the energies of plants and trees around her to heal others. Those who needed her services traveled to see her. These days, a green witch is more likely to be living in the middle of a city or in the suburbs. She could work in any of a variety of fields, such as business, medicine, or teaching, or might even be a full-time mom."
I feel like this book is going to be insanely contradictory
Right in the beginning of the book "In essence, she lives the life of a green witch: she lives the green path"
Ok, you can not define something by using it as a definition. It's still early I'm gonna let that one slide. 
My opinion of a green witch, is: Some one who practices witch craft, who is mostly focused on "Earth" aka "green" magic. Women who are particularly interested in herbology, healing, teas, the practice of grounding toes in the dirt, washing negative energies away in a running spring. Green Witches are similar to Kitchen Witches who use herbs in their spell work and cooking, or Hedge Witches even. 
Oh look, page 20 "Similar paths"
Kitchen and Hedge are listed! 
Back to my opinions. It's a good read, full of learning, and a great reference. I have only read the introduction. I did just get it today. I have skimmed the rest of the book. It in many pages refer to the use of herbs, mortal and pedestal and other Earth based items used in witch craft. So, If you find yourself out and about and your more balanced in that quiet place in the park where the flowers are growing, you really like to make herb blends and tend to drink eucalyptus and lavender tea when your sick. You may just find yourself walking a Green Path.  

Engage with me moment. 


What types of witch catch your attention the most. 
Are you into 
Divination
Celtic
Green
White
Grey
Dark
Gypsy
Avalonian
Psychic
What type of witch are you. What does that label mean to you as someone who practices it?
What else should I be looking at. 

I collect a lot of aspects of many types of witch, an "Eclectic" Witch so to speak. 

Leave your answers in my comments and I'll send you a virtual thank you cookie.

Herbs and Witch Terms

During Samhain celebration, my friends and I were discussing terms for herbs. Terms such as, for example: "Eye of Newt" and "Dead Mans Toe." Yes, I watch a lot of Hocus Pocus and Practical Magic. Sue me. There is truth in fiction, even if its a small fraction.

So here are a few links.

Of the Birthday October 6

I'm Having Technical Difficulties.. none of my pictures are uploading to the blog. Internet at my house is an ass hat.  (I just updated now with photos! on 2-28-18)

Crystal 


Jasper: Leopardskin Orbicular Jasper


Pretend there's a photo about here of a little polished stone 

Green or Orange bi-colored
Opaque leopard-like markings
Easily obtained
South America

A bridge to the deepest mysteries of duality, Leopardskin Jasper assists in redressing the balance between light and dark, teaching how to recognize dark as a complement to light rather than its opposite. 




Herb


Senega


another photo here of a green leafy thing

Common Name: Snake Root 
Part Used: Root and Rhizome
Collection: The roots and rhizome are collected in September and October

Senega comes to us from the Native Americans. It was used by the Seneca tribe for snake bites. It has excellent expectorant effects that may be utilized in the treatment of bronchitic asthma, especially where there is some difficulty with expectoration. 

Infusion: Pour a cup of boiling water onto 1/2- 1 teaspoonful of the dried root and let infuse for 10-15 minutes. This should be drunk 3 times a day.
