⛧Dispel Your Anger

A ritual to release all your negative feelings

Color of the Day : Red

Incense of the Day : Cedar

☯

Magick is about empowerment and your ability to change your personal energy as well as influential energy in your life.

When your life unfolds in ways that make you unhappy, it is important to deal with your emotions. Couldn't be me brothas i am totally mf unhinged this is for you guys though.

When anger arises, you need to find a way to work through it. Strong emotion needs to be felt, not pushed aside or ignored, so you can regain and maintain balance and harmony.

☯

To begin write down the things in your life that make you angry, sad, disappointed, etc.

Place the list in your cauldron or a firesafe container, use a match or lighter to carefully ignite the paper and visualize the things you wrote igniting and burning to ash before you.

To release using the power of the fire chant :

Release my anger and sorrows, I will not carry it into tomorrow

Release my negativity and set it free, the only person it hurts is me

Repeat these words and this spell until you feel that you have released the emotions that no longer serve you.

☯

Common Witch Misconceptions Pt. 1

Here are some common misconceptions I see both in and out of our witchy community.

We are all pagan.

This is very common, even in witch circles. There are many witches that aren't religious, many witches that follow religions that are not pagan (such as Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Shinto, etc.), and many witches that are atheists or agnostic.

We are all Wiccan.

Just... nope. Wicca is a religion, it does incorporate witchcraft, but witchcraft has been around a lot longer than Wicca has.

We all believe in the Three-Fold Law.

Again, nope. This is a Wiccan rule. It's a doctrine that Wiccans follow, not witches.

We all worship the Devil/Lucifer/Satan.

I'd say most of us don't even believe that the Devil exists. However, to those who do, most of them don't worship him. And to those who do worship him, they are not bad people and often see Lucifer in a different light than how Christians see him.

We aren't critical thinkers.

Hey, hi, hello, this one really bothers me. I understand thinking that we might be a little odd, but we aren't dumb or idiots for having a different spirituality than you. Many of us (at the least 4,000 on tumblr) are actually very into skepticism for witchcraft and believe that it is important to have!

Our magic is like the movies.

Nope. Not even close. All of the magic that I have experienced has been purely spiritual. I have never been able to summon fire, or move something telekinetically, or have those sorts of physical results.

Look out for part two! Hope this helps to dispell some misconceptions!

Free Tarot Readings for Feedback🪐

Hi anyone who reads this, my name is Giulia and I am looking for people to do free tarot readings for in exchange for some honest feedback! I've been doing tarot readings for myself for about 5 years now, with a limited amount of readings done for friends within that time period.

It wasn't until this year when I truly began to notice significant intuitive messages in my readings, and their insightfulness hit me like a ton of bricks. I feel ready though now and confident that I need to branch out and get more experience reading for people I don't know.

I'm open to reading for absolutely anyone! It will be one question (or one 'topic' or 'realm' of which you're seeking intuitive guidance on) for one reading between 1-3 cards. When you get your reading I just want your feedback, honestly, on what you thought of the reading, if it felt insightful, relevant...and if it did not, please let me know what you didn't connect to (My sole purpose is to develop my craft and this feedback would be invaluable!).

Just send me a message @healingmoonlight with your reading request, or if you have a question we can talk :’)

https://healingmoonlight.tumblr.com/ask

I don't know how long I'll do this for, or how many requests I'll even get, but if I decide to not take anymore requests, I'll reblog this post again updated :')

Grateful for anyone who read this and may participate!

Love, Giulia

How to pray so that the gods will hear you.

If you say your prayer out loud, it will be heard.

If you say your prayer silently, in your head, it will be heard.

If you say your prayer standing or kneeling or lying motionless at your altar, it will be heard.

If you say your prayer while you wash the dishes or fold the laundry, it will be heard.

If you say your prayer slowly and mindfully, each word hanging in your mind like a leaf on a tree, it will be heard.

If you say your prayer quickly, with the words racing through your head so fast you are barely aware of them, it will be heard.

If you say your prayer calmly, with precision and measured meaning, it will be heard.

If you say your prayer desperately or in a panic, with no sense or coherence, it will be heard.

The gods will hear you when you call, they will listen when you pray.

Witch Tip: Get to Know Your Spell Ingredients

Get to know your spell ingredients. Just because one ingredient is good for money doesn't mean it's a good fit for you.

There are a lot of parts to getting to know an ingredient.

You can research its functionality if it has an herbal use whether medicinal or culinary - the classifications of herbals help a lot in understanding a component's working in your spell, ie - how it will do what you want it to do. A warming herb has a different effect than a cooling herb, for example. An herb that drys out the body can also be used to dry out a situation. A purgative can be used to clear things.

You can research the historic uses of the spell ingredients - I would look at both medical and magical uses here. Though we have debunked a lot of old medicinal uses and I by no means mean to suggest that you use herbs by their old medical uses, these practices give an idea of the nature of the plant. Over time, particular cultures develop an understanding of specific planets and if you are respectful, you may be able to tap into this shared knowledge.

You can hold and interact with the ingredient. This is a must for me before I will use anything in my spell work. I am an animist - I believe that all objects (both inanimate and animate) have a spirit - both their own individual spirit and a connection to the great over-arching spirit of their class. For instance, the basil plants in my garden are three things: each is its own individual basil plant, also a combined Basil spirit that is growing in my garden, and a piece of the spirit of Sweet Basil as a whole. When learning to work with the energy of a spell ingredient, I need to know how it feels. How it interacts with my energy. Is it calming? Does touching it make me go buzz buzz. How does it smell? How does it taste (if its safe to consume, of course)?

You can grow/harvest/gather/mine that ingredient yourself. This only furthers your knowledge of this ingredient. Did you see it when it was a tiny seedling? Did you plant it in the ground? Did you spend hours in the woods looking for the perfect specimen or find a field full on your walk home from work one day? Sure, the seashell you picked up on the beach may not be as perfect as the one you can buy online but you have already established a personal connection with that shell by choosing to take it home.

There are so many more ways. You can write/photograph/draw your object. You can meditate with it. You can potentially communicate with it through dreams or other means of divination. You can experiment with using this spell ingredient by doing your usual spell work with it in addition or substitution to something that you normally use - did it make a difference? How did working with that ingredient change your magic?

Take notes on the different ingredients you use and become the scientist in your own witchy life.

Marisol’s Magickal PDF Library Master Post- FIXED!

Ok, kiddies.  Several of you have seen my post about the various resources and books I have in my Pagan/Witchcraft/Magick library and have asked “Where can I download the PDFs from?”

Well, now that things have calmed down a bit…Here it is!  This post will always be growing as I find more PDF books. I did my best to organize them according to category.

Happy reading, loves :)

Become inspired again in your craft!

Not going to lie these past few months have been hard for me to get through, staying in touch with my spiritual side and witchcraft journey has been a struggle, but recently I found my inspiration to continue on with it, I also get asked this questions a lot so here’s some ways I found useful to reconnect with my magickal abilities

The tips:

• Look at some other witches blogs/instagrams/YouTube channels: this really helped me realise how much I loved it and wanted to really devote my time back into it

• look back on your old book of shadows: see how far you’ve come

• Go back to basics: work on meditation, grounding yourself and simple spells, work back up your spiritual journey there is nothing wrong with revisiting the stuff you already have learnt

• ask questions, read books, talk to someone: if you have been feeling lost about your craft research a bit, it might help clear your head and clear things up

• Use tarot cards, oracle cards, pendulums and more: ask your guides for their guidance and for them to help re-inspire you

• sit out in nature: You night just need to have some well overdue time with Mother Earth. Just you and her sitting outside meditating and clearing your head

• decorate your house: re furnishing your house to fit you better with newer things to help inspire your witchcraft will get you excited to start working on it, like furniture and new witchcraft supplies

• look at some witch memes: hey it might not be the most productive thing but taking time to laugh at witchy things you can relate to you will boost your happiness and inspiration

I hope some of these helped, any further questions? Message me or send in a question! 🖤🌙

Retrograde Placements

A Retrograde means that a planet begins to move very slowly that it looks as if it’s going backwards in our point of view, from the Earth. But it is, in fact, just a very slow motion.

It is believed that the number of Retrogrades you have on your chart is the number of lives you have lived in this Earth. You are likely to have more de ja vu’s, because you are gifted in your senses. If you do not have any retrogrades on your chart, you are believed to be a fresh soul who is prone to making mistakes and can be considered as “naive.”

When you have Mercury in Retrograde, it is believed that you have been silenced in your previous life, the ideas and the words couldnt come out of your mouth -which might lead you to speak your mind freely in this life. Your sisters/brothers are believed to cause you problems in your previous life, also. That is why you might treat them differently in this lifetime, you might even be obsessed with them as if something might happen to them. If you dont have any siblings, this applies to the people you consider as your sister/brother. Your technologic devices might cause problems to you, the help you need from other people might not occur up until the last minute. You might pronounce some words differently and communication is very important to you. Hands might also cause problems, you could break some stuff and hurt your hands in your childhood. Writing can also be a great way of learning for you. You are prone to be misunderstood very much in your daily life, travelling is also very important to you. Subconsciously, you might try to to find and search for your “previous homeland” by travelling.

When you have Venus in Retrograde, it is likely that in your previous life, you have found your soulmate, however, you lost your partner too soon or you had a restriction with them, which might lead you to search for your missing soulmate in this life. Relationships might be the main focus of your problems in this life time. You might not choose to have casual relationships, even if you have your Venus in air or fire signs. Previous lovers and ex’s might always be in the agenda. The idea for searching for your true match is reflected to all your personal relationships, you might treat your loved ones as if you’re gonna lose them -because you have, in your previous life. You might turn down nice people romantically, feeling they dont have the traits of your previous lovers and the term of “karmic” is basically your approach to all close relationships. These people are prone to have more than one marriages, due to this endless search. Subconsciously, the last marriage they have, is the one with their missing soulmate. 

When you have Mars in Retrograde, you are believed to be associated with “war” in your previous life. In a woman’s chart, it is believed that a soldier was very imporant to you as a lover and you lost him to war. In a man’s chart, it indicates you were, indeed, the soldier. If your Mars is placed in Aries, Scorpio or Capricorn, it is believed that you had a very important role in war, meaning you might have been a colonel, a general, etc. Your aggressiveness is likely to be unstable, your reactions might be unpredictable. Health might be the main problem in your life, this retrograde also indicates surgeries (look up to the sign to see which body parts). Sexual unfulfillment can cause psychological problems and you might attract/be attracted to people who might not suit you and can cause you personal problems. Accidents may occur a lot, both as a child and as an individual. You might be ambitious, you might order people around a lot.

When you have Jupiter in Retrograde, you are believed to have a different religion than you have in this life, which makes you a very tolerant and kind people who does not classify people with their religion, race and sexuality. You are very giving, optimist and generous, which might cause some problems in this life as you might attract ungrateful people. You might be high on senses, you might “sense” things before they happen. You might be anxious, as if things are going too fast and you are not gonna catch up to them. With this retrograde, you can make things happen with deep thinking and mediation as you can channel your positive energy very well. You can always find a help, even if it is in the last minute, whenever you need. Spirituality is very important to you and you might try to find meaning in everything in that sense sunconsciously.

When you have Saturn in Retrograde, it is believed that you have been restricted by your parents and/or your spouses in your previous life, you might also be physically obstructed. You might have a repressed feeling as if you are not enough for things. You might be anxious about future, you might be pessimistic and you might try to secure yourself with materiality. And the reason for all this might be caused by a parental figure who had been very tough with you, very disciplined and way too firm; or the loss of this parental figure might also be effective. Family and divorces might be the main focus in this life. With this retrograde, it is adviced to never leave things unfinished in your life as it is believed that these matters will come back to you in the future. You might dislike/be scared of closed places and you might have claustrophobia as it represents a restriction.

When you have Uranus in Retrograde, you are likely to be a fighter for freedom in your previous life. Words, ideas and freedom was very imporant to you, you might have been even punished for speaking your mind freely. You might not act the way you feel like up until you are at a certain age. You might be prone to ban yourself or restrict yourself from specific subjects such as sex, up until certain age and you might have an explotion then. You might want to live differently than the society and the theme of freedom is very important to you. You might be restless for a long time in your life, without an actual reason. You might have different kind of friendships. If you have your Venus and Mars in aspect to this retrograde, you might want to try things that no one dares to try sexually. If your Retrograde Uranus is afflicted and/or has a lot of aspects to many planets, you might be in search for your sexuality. You might have an unusual way of “loving”, meaning that you might be hot and cold at the same time and this might confuse the people around you.

When you have Neptune in Retrograde, it is believed that you had a problem regarding anesthesia and drugs, you were dead by poisoning and/or your death was in the sea/ocean. Your behavior towards people is like a mirror, it depends on the way people treat you. You might miss and want the love back in the different times, history might have a lot of meaning for you. Addiction might be the main problem in this life, you might be addicted to people or materials. You might be afraid of water, doctors, hospitals or drugs. Chaos might have taken place in your childhood. Dreams might be important, you might sense things and you might have a strong 6th sense. Alcohol and drugs might be a way of relieving anxiety.

When you have Pluto in Retrograde, it is believed that you had serious problems regarding sex, that you want to erase from your mind, in your previous life. You might have an anxiety regarding the people you love in this life time. You might have a problem or restriction with sexuality up until certain age and problems with sexuality might cause psychological problems. You might have an obsessive, intense and different kind of approach towards sexuality. You might appear though and strong but deep down, you might be anxious about sexuality, death and the afterlife. Generally, the sexual affairs you have may be problematic until a certain age, but eventually retrograde Pluto rests and begins to forget previous-life traumas.

When you have Chiron in Retrograde, it indicates a healing persona. You might have been an healer, you might be a doctor in your previous life. Some believe that this placement also indicates an association with witchcraft in the previous life, resulting in being scared of fire in this life. You might have strange birthmarks on your body. Also you might want to try spiritual things in this life, such as reiki.

When you have Nodes in Retrograde, it is associated with our past lives. If your North Node is in aspect to your natal planets more than the South Node, it is believed that you came as a wise soul who learned from your past lives and you will use the traits you learned from those lives in a good way, positively. If your South Node is in aspect to your natal planets more than the North, it indicates that you failed to learn from your past lives and you will have problems regarding that in this lifetime. The houses in which the Nodes are placed in will be the main focus in your life.
