Conducted a spell for balancing the energies of grounding and vitality last night. I had set everything up a few days ago but felt hesitant and wanted to get everything "just right" since my last spell backfired. (we cast and we learn, I might share that experience to help fellow baby witches not to make the same mistake but kind of embarrassed). I set out an orange candle and brown candle. I cleansed the space with palo santo in a counter clockwise fashion in my room. I found that I tend to be an all or nothing in terms of resting or creating and wanted to balance those energies in my life. I journaled as the spell went on and realized that many of the things in my life that make me feel grounded also energize me! (Such as walking in nature, dancing, coloring, etc). I struggle to know what to say during the spell so I just ranted what I wanted to gain and gave gratitude similar to a prayer. The orange candle burned taller, faster, more intensely, with some black plumage compared to the brown candle which burned steady, tall, and stablely. I do remember when I called on my guides though that the brown candle burned very tall and crackled for a bit and then settled again. I I used salt, my herb blend, sagebrush, rosemary from my garden, and set an offering of moon water for my guides during the spell in a small dish. I felt a range of emotions (sad, calm, tired, inspired) during the spell and felt inclinded to beat my pillows and put my blankets in the drier. Today I felt a sense of clarity and a release of anxiety. My focus and ability to discern what needs to be done is very strong today (which is cool because I often struggle from this since I have adhd).

Wanted to share my dowsing rod experience, I’m super stoked over being able to do it! After my thrift store experience I brought a few items home - smoke cleansed them as soon as I got home. The boyfriend noticed before me but the front door kept sounding like someone was hitting it - honestly thought it was kids with a ball (thuds sounded like if it got kicked against the door). No kids playing near the door (apartment). I had cleansed the entire house and myself after we got home as well. Everything felt fine to me, offered to do some sage and other stuff at like 11pm but we decided to see how the night went and see in the morning. Woke up and all was quiet. I remembered hey I have dowsing rods why not try it out?! See if anyone is here… - when doing divination please use spiritual hygiene (cleanse, protect aces shield!) and have clear boundaries on who can come through… you may call in something you do NOT want! - You need to “program” your rods - state and physically move them to show how your like yes/no to be shown. I repeated this 3x (just felt right now other reason honestly). - I also asked various questions I knew the answers to already (Control questions). Am I 32yo? No (I’m 41). Is my son 9yo? No (he’s 2). - Also, I say thank you after every response as I’m hammering away at questions. - Please make sure you close that communication door… use spiritual hygiene. If you leave it open it’s like leaving your front door open! All sorts of shit can wander in, since leave in their own other things will need to be forcibly removed. I asked if anything was present -yes. Well ok then! Are you an ancestor? Yes. Are you male? No. Female? Yes. Are you the spirit I see daily as an orb? Yes. Are you the female I would call “Sarah”? Yes. Are you my daughter? Yes. Is my grandpa around me? Yes. Is he currently? No. Is my dad around me? Yes. Is he currently? No. My, my, my! I took a breather at that point because I’ve never had direct instant feed back before… I go back after ~30min. I start with asking if it’s ok to ask more questions? Yes (I feel it’s important to ask permission first, idk if other ppl do it just felt right). I ask if anything was attached to the dishes I brought from the thrift store? Yes. Did it come inside? No. Did the protection work I’ve done on our home keep it out? Yes. Was my protection oil was successful? Yes. Was the banging on the door it trying to come in? Yes. Is it gone now? Yes.

so today i was feeling quite unwell and i took a bath and im not sure if what i did is real or if im just overthinking it but i asked the water to take away the illness i was feeling, cycle cramps, my headache, and after i was done i thanked the water for its time, and within the hour i was no longer nauseated, i diddnt have any cramps or headache. i still feel drained but im not in any pain anymore and i was wondering if any one here has tried a similar thing with similar results or if its just wishful thinking or a coincidence

This is my "homework" from the activities in Mini Course "Sigil Magic". No pictures for this one to preserve the personal connection of this sigil. Lesson 1: What is a Sigil? Activity: I chose to create my sigil to help me sleep better, so I wrote "I will sleep soundly" Lesson 2: Creating a Sigil Activity: After breaking the intention down, I was left with the letters: W L S P N D Y I had a couple of draft designs before I found one that was both appealing and seemed to visually represent what I am creating the sigil for. Lesson 3: Charging a Sigil Activity: After finalizing tbe design, I took a picture to remember it (eventually I'll add it to my spell journal). Then I drew it on a small piece of paper. I held the paper while imagining it glowing a soft warm yellow, like a small nightlight Lesson 4: Releasing & Forgetting Activity: I placed the sigil in my pillowcase so it will can work its magic in the space I need it most. When I wash my pillowcases, I will remove the sigil, burn it, and replace it. Lesson 5: Everyday Uses Activity: I plan on using a candle carved with the sigil in my nighttime routine, and will save the ash from it burning to rub into the carving as needed. I'll read the leftover wax for clues to improve my sleep or what may be impeding it, and reuse the leftover wax to secure the next candle to my dish. I will also rub the ash on the bedroom doorway to create a portal to a dreamy sleepy peaceful space. I'm intending to follow up on this post after working with this Sigil for a few weeks and will share the results either in a comment here or a new post if I have a lot to share.

I’ve been feeling inspired to create a sacred space in the corner of my bedroom. So today I went antiquing and asked the universe to bring me to whatever was meant for me in this space. I almost immediately found an old desk that I knew was meant for me. I took it home and cleansed it and called on the 4 elements for protection and blessing. I also felt inspired to make my first ward to keep on it ✨I used to keep all my working materials in my closet and it feels so good to quite literally “come out of the closet”.
