Old Mother Redcap's "Faithful Friends" Spell

This spell is designed for people wanting to make new long-lasting friendships. This spell works in the same way as a love spell, by attracting people (in this instance, friends) toward you. Items needed: - A large jar or bottle - Red or pink taper candle - Honey - Sugar - Juniper berries - Pen and paper - Magnets - Photo of yourself Method: Place the honey, sugar and juniper berries into your large jar or bottle. Take your pen and paper and write down all the qualities you wish your new friends to have. For instance, “loyalty”, “honesty” etc. Cut out these words and wrap them up in the magnets. Whilst you put them in the jar, visualise yourself surrounded by a new group of friends. Lastly, fold up the photo of yourself and add it into the jar.  As the last step, inscribe your candle with words or sigils pertaining to friendship. Place the candle in the jar or bottle, with the bottom sitting directly into the honey and sugar. You may want to add more honey until it fills the top so the candle stays steady. Place the jar or bottle on a heat-proof dish and burn the candle every night for 3 nights.

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!

One day I will find the right words, and they will be simple.

Treat Yo’ Self ☕ Spell

Valentine’s Magick For One

A pampering spell to help bring out that self-love and confidence for my lovely single witches this holiday

By Rainy-Day-Witchcraft

Materials:

Pink, red, and/or white candles

Sea and/or epsom salt

Lavender, Lotus, or Rose scented essential oil

Ginger

Cinnamon

Food coloring (optional) 

Rose Quartz

Paper pad & writing utensil

Spellwork:

Step 1. First things first, mixing and preparing materials! I recommend beginning this step the night before you plan to perform the spell.

In a small bowl, mix together your carrier salts with the oil of your choice, a bit of cinnamon [love and success], some ginger [love, prosperity, success, and inner strength], and - if you’d like to add a bit of color - a few drops of food coloring. Once you’ve thoroughly mixed the ingredients to create a magickal body scrub, hollow out a small hole and place a rose quartz stone in the middle ~ Leave the mixture to soak up energy from the rose quartz overnight or for 8-12 hours.

(Note: If you already have a body scrub that you prefer, feel free to use that instead! Or, if you’d rather buy one than make your own, that is perfectly alright too)

Step 2. Once your mixture has sat for awhile, gather up all you need. Because you will be scrubbing your body with the salts, prepare a nice warm bath or shower for yourself ~ Decorate your bathroom with the candles, dim the lights, and light them. Begin the spell by stepping into the bath or shower (Tip: make sure your salts are within reach, so you don’t have to get out to grab them!)

Step 3. Perform your normal bathing routine, imagining a shining light that flows with the water as you do, cleansing your body of any negativity or ‘dirt’; physical, mental, spiritual and magickal. Towards the end, scoop out a bit of your scrub and begin scrubbing it on your body ~ Visualize the salts buffing off the remaining metaphysical dirt; revealing a shining aura and leaving you feeling less heavy. Remind yourself of how lovely and wonderful you are as you do, or take the time to say a chant for beauty, confidence, and love! 

Once you’ve finished, wash the salts off and end your shower or bath.

Step 4. Pamper yourself! Wear a fuzzy robe, soft pajamas, a blanket, or any clothes that make you feel especially comfortable. Then, blow out all but one candle from your bathroom and carry it over to wherever you’d like to sit along with the rose quartz you used for the scrub earlier. Placing the candle beside you, pick up your paper pad and write down at least 20 things you love about yourself… and more, if you can! Write what you admire, write down some accomplishments you recently made that you are proud of, write what you enjoy about your appearance or personality ~ anything and everything. If you’d like to go a little further, write down some activities or hobbies that you especially enjoy.

When you feel you’ve written all you can, fold up the paper and store in a safe place for later. Whenever you’re feeling upset, anxious, or doubting yourself, take it back out and reflect on just how glorious you are ♡

Reserve the rest of the day for doing things that make you feel good ~ And remember, it’s Valentine’s, so -
