Smelling salts have been around since the time of the Roman Empire and have traditionally used to revive someone who has fainted. Recently, the aromatherapy world has taken the concept and expanded it to include other uses. We make these aromatherapeutic salts to soothe anxiety and calm nerves.

Not sure when you posted this but I am sending you some calm and health

I am in desperate need of some healing in my right shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand. All the moving and cleaning that we have done has left me bruised, internally and externally, and with me not being able to lift my arm very far.
We still have plenty to do and I am sick of being made to feel guilty due to my pain. I am the unemployed one, so I’m doing most of the work alone / with a 3 yr old in tow.
I beg of you all, please hold me in your prayers, or spells, or whatever you specialize in. I’d also appreciate spells that I could perform myself if anyone has them to offer.
Thank you in advance. ❤❤
Rowena’s Anti-Anxiety Incense
Personally, this is one of my favourite spells, simply because it is both incredibly simple and incredibly effective. This loose incense can be burned for rituals or used as a carried remedy for everyday fears and worries.
What you will need: • 1 part jasmine (fresh, dried or resin, which I’ve used in the photos above) • 1 part dried sage • 1 pinch of sea salt • 2 candles, preferably white • a blessed or charged bowl and grinder • a lighter or matches • 2 small glass jars • a spoon or funnel • some dried wood pieces
Optional: • 2 charged gemstones of your choice (for this I’ve chosen garnet) • An essential oil of your choice (I recommend lavender or peppermint)
Directions: 1. Prep your bowl with a quick rinse and dry to remove any dust or impurities
2. Light your candles and set your gemstones in place around your bowl.
3. Prep the ingredients - Crumble your sage and jasmine, measure out your salt
4. Add sage, jasmine and salt to your bowl.
5. Grind your ingredients together. Make sure you are focusing your energies onto your goal. Maintain a calm state of mind and state your desires aloud if you can.
6. When you feel your ingredients are sufficiently ground, take the bowl between your hands, close your eyes and ground yourself. This is the most important part of the process. Keep your mind focused upon what you would like to achieve with this incense. If you’re preparing it for a love one, think of what you would like them to get from your gift. When you feel as though you have your desires in mind, take three slow breaths. On each exhale imagine yourself pushing energy from your third eye into the incense itself. Once you have finished charging your incense you may open your eyes.
7. Using your spoon/funnel, fill each jar about half full with your new incense and cork them firmly. Make sure to leave a little bit of incense in the bowl for the closing of the ritual.
8. Arrange the wood pieces in along with the remainder of your incense. Light the wood aflame and allow it to burn while you recite any closing remarks.
9. Extinguish the flame with some water and blow out your candles. You’re finished!

Heal what has been hurt - How you were hurt in the past

Creating a sigil
A sigil magick is a symbol that you creat that carries your will. For example in this tutorial the sigil will bring bravery.
1. Write out your intention
“I will be brave”
2. Remove all repeating letters
W R A V
3. Then simplify the letters into basic shapes
\ / \ / I C \ /— \ \ /
4. Then put those letters together and make a symbol from them. Make the symbol one that you feel comfortable with.
— a way to charge your sigil is to have other people look at it, or you can meditate with it, or sleep with it.
-Now from this step, you can do one of many things. Fold it up and bury it, Burn it Rip it to pieces and let the wind carry it off, put it in a river, lake, stream, ect. rip it, set it in melted candle wax, put in witch bottle.
🗝My pleasure reading is now academic reading. After starting to lose the skill I once had, my reading comprehension has gone way up.
🗝 I get more done and finished more projects because the first step of something can be a spell. Spells are fun to do so I’m less likely to put it off. Once I’ve taken the first step, I have the motivation and momentum to see the rest of it through, something I used to struggle with. 🗝 I feel as if I have much more agency in my life. I can protect myself from toxic people and actively pull myself out of toxic mindsets much more easily than before.
🗝 Articulating what I want in spells has helped me better understand what I want out of life or what I should be truly focusing on.
🗝I’m much, MUCH better at cooking. I can feed myself on more than just ramen and toast, which makes me healthier and happier.
🗝I have more motivation to give back to the community, through charity or service work, or just being more mindful about the environment and supporting local businesses.
🗝I have a much deeper understanding of history and cultures outside of my own.
🗝 I used to be a slob, but now I regularly clean my room and keep my space tidy because I recognize that a messy room affects me negatively and hurts my magic. Also, my room always smells excellent.
🗝 Whenever I work with deities I practice ritual self hygiene. So the little things I used to ignore before bed don’t get ignored as much.
🗝I have a much deeper appreciation for the little things in life, happy coincidences, tiny blessings. I notice them much more and am thankful.
🗝 I have met so many amazing people and have formed wonderful friendships around the craft.
In the end, when people debate if magic is real or not, who cares? It’s undeniably producing real results.
As a way to maintain the landlord rules going on when I’m away traveling or at my girlfriend’s house, I made this amulet that is hanging on my front door.
I was called to do this during the banishing ritual I posted here, and so I used what I had in hand: some twigs and black ribbon. It could have been a poppet of me or an item that’s close to me and will not leave my place.
They key of it is my blood, connecting the item to me. So, when I’m out, this represents me and my power over my land–it’s basically a warning for intruders that I’m there even when I’m not, I will notice them and will be pissed when I’m back.
Gather your supplies: Small amount of hollyberry oil Small amount of mistletoe herb Clean, small piece of white paper (parchment if you have it) Red candle
Ritual: Write a single word in red ink that represents what quality in yourself you would like to enhance with the dawning of the Yule Sun. Sprinkle the mistletoe herb into the center of the paper. Add three drops of the hollyberry oil on top of the mistletoe. Twist the paper closed with the mistletoe and hollyberry Oil inside. Light the red candle. From the flame of the candle, light the paper package on fire. As it burns envision, your wish fulfilled. The spell is done.
