Magickal Uses for Strawberries

Planetary Association: Venus

Gender: Feminine

Element: Water

Deity Association: Freya

Magickal Uses: Attracts success, good fortune, and favorable circumstances. Served as a love food. Leaves are carried for luck. Pregnant women carry a packet of the leaves to ease the pain of pregnancy and childbirth.

Sweet, red strawberries are often used in spells for innocent love, friendship and happiness; as well as bringing out the sweetness in a person or situation. On the other hand, the luscious strawberry is a well known aphrodisiac, and can be used to stimulate deeply passionate, and sensual love relationships. As with all magick, the outcome is set by the intention. Used (sparingly) to draw fortunate circumstances into one’s life.

Lucky Charm Spell:

You’ll need:

An iron locket (if possible, other metals are acceptable)

1 strawberry leaf

Chamomile tea (and a towel)

4 star anise

Green salt (grind together sea salt and basil)

Bloodroot powder

1 green candle

Cast your circle, tracing the outline with bloodroot powder: at each watchtower (east, south, west, and north) offer a star anise to each element and place them at each quarter. You may use your own words, but here is an example of how to address each element:

“Air, please blow away all negativity and leave only positivity.” “Fire, please burn a bright light and illuminate me for luck to find.” “Water, please flow like a river and help luck streaming in pure.” “Earth, please grow good happenings and lucky blooms.” In the center of the circle, wash your hands with the chamomile tea. This is to wash away bad luck which may be lingering and to encourage everything you touch to become lucky. Pat your hands dry with the towel if you want. Take the iron locket and rub it down with the green salt to purify it. Say as you do this: “With this green salt, I rub away negativity and leave positivity and luck, and harm it none so mote it be.” Light the green candle and hold the locket in the flame. Say: “With this fire, I create a beacon for luck.” When cool, put the strawberry leaf inside. Rinse off the green salt with the chamomile tea, and meditate, focusing on channeling lucky energy into your new charm. -NOTE- Do not use anything you may be allergic to. Remember to snuff out the candles after the spell has been cast with wet fingertips or a candle snuff: blowing out the candles may undo your magick. It does not have to be a locket: you may use anything metal which can hold a strawberry leaf inside. The best time to do this spell is: Sunday, dawn or noon, in spring or autumn, when the moon is waxing or full. -TIP- Do the spell when it’s raining so you can make the chamomile tea from rain water. Also, the rain can help wash away any lingering bad luck.

Strengthen Relationships Spell

So this is a spell for when things are rough in a relationship, I did this spell for a friend who is struggling in her relationship, so it can be used for your relationships or other’s. 

I also feel like I have to say this for the newly awakened witches, but you should really make a spell your own, if you want to use this, feel free but also add your own flavor into it and make it more specific for your situations. 

What I Used :

A bowl

Rose buds/petals (for love and understanding)

Oak shavings (for strength) 

Rosemary (for insight and the ability to not be blinded by lust) 

Storm Water (to weather any storm that comes their way) 

A Candle (pick your color for the situation, my friend needs financial stability in her relationship, so I used green) 

A pinch of black salt (for protection from the assholes) 

Pour a little of the storm water into your bowl, make sure it’s only about an inch so it doesn’t go up very far on the candle, I used a votive because it’s tall and wide enough to sit in the water without falling over or anything. 

Add the candle to the center of the bowl and light it while stating your intentions for the person the spell is for, or what you want in the relationship you’re struggling with. It doesn’t have to be a romantic relationship. 

Once the candle is lit add the other herbs to the water around the candle and let the candle burn down, let the wax spread into the water and gather the herbs as it does so. 

When the candle burns out let it sit on your altar for a day, 24 hours or so. Once that’s passed dispose of the materials however you see fit. 

I hope you guys like this! Let me know if you want me to post more spells?

How to: Planets in Houses

How hard is it to become an austronaut? I want to start to studie astrophysics and I don't know if I'll ever get any kind of job. Do you have any tips for people like me?

Astrophysics is a perfect field for pursuing any work at NASA!  A degree in a STEM field is a requirement of becoming an astronaut, but other than that there are many possibilities.  One of the best things about the astronaut office is its diversity.  We are scientists, engineers, military pilots, flight test engineers, medical doctors, etc. etc. My biggest tip is to ensure you are pursuing what it is you are passionate about as that’s the only way to truly become exceptional at what you are doing, and most importantly, to be happy doing it.  Passion, hard work, and dedication will get you there.  Good luck!

Scrying Methods

Mirror Scrying Probably the most salient form of scrying available to our cultural consciousness, thanks to Snow White. -Black Mirror scrying (done with a black tinted mirror) works best for me, because otherwise I fall victim to my own vanity and just stare at myself. There’s a good Urban Witch tips post around here somewhere that suggests using your blank smartphone screen as a black mirror on the go.

Water Scrying -With liquid in a bowl of any colour, though I prefer a deep, transparent blue. You can also add food dye. -In the bath, and accompanied by other bath magic like oils and herbs and whatever works for you. -Staring at the Ocean (I’m very lucky to live next to the Pacific). Results would vary depending on weather conditions, i.e. if the surf is rough or calm, what colour sky is being reflected, what the wind is doing, where the tide is etc. Probably good for contacting deities with ocean associations, if that’s your jam. -Staring at a Lake (I also live next to a lake), similar in practice to Ocean Scrying, with the added bonus of relative stillness and aquatic fauna making ripples, trees casting shadows, floating flowers, a reflection of the sky.

Crystal Scrying I prefer Amethyst, but use whatever gem works for you.

Close Your Eyes Sometimes I can close my eyes and see the most vivid things, not imagination or visualisation, just scenes, floating across my vision.

Dream Scrying I’ve never tried it, but it’s probably a form of Oneiromancy (which I do practice). If you’re lucid or have any control over your dreamscape, try scrying on any medium in there. I think it would be cool but I can’t really try it yet.

Fire Scrying -I hate candles, but a lot of people have a good time scrying with them. -I DO HOWEVER LOVE STARING AT FIRE. -Bonfire scrying I last tried on New Year’s Eve, whilst under the influence of some questionable substances. It was going well, but people were starting to stare at me so I had to stop. -Hearth scrying would be a more accessible form of this, and I would personally use it for scrying with Hestia.

Sky Scrying -Can be done during the day, with clouds (similar to  Nephelomancy) or the wild blue yonder (you really have to come to Australia to appreciate how BLUE the sky is). -Can also be done at night, with the moon, or stars. Stargazing is a practice I came into after my childhood, when we finally realised I was near sighted and really couldn’t see much up there.

Smoke Scrying -With incense, watching the curls of smoke was one of the first things I did as a young witch. -And now, as an adult, cigarette smoke is equally fascinating (though I would not recommend picking up a smoking habit for the sake of witchcraft, or at all).

Steam Scrying -With your kettle or warm beverage of choice, very similar to smoke scrying, obliquely related to nephelomancy.
