Lmao I need a spell to get me a bae

You got it. You’ll need:

a jar

a small piece of paper 

essential oil of rose

wax (a seal stamp is optional)

crushed up red roses

dried lavender buds

dried chamomile flowers  

cinnamon

sugar

a chunk of rose quartz

Write down a list a traits you’re looking for in a partner on the piece of paper, then anoint it with a drop of the essential oil. Roll up the paper and seal it with the wax. Put it into the jar, then add the dried flowers. All three flowers draw love. Add the sugar to sweeten up your potential suitors and sprinkle in the cinnamon to add some excitement and spice. Close the jar.

Shake the jar daily while thinking of the traits you wrote on the paper. Leave the chunk of rose quartz on top of the jar when not in use.

Why Should you take spiritual baths?

Taking a Magical Bath doesn’t have to be complicated. It can be as simple as running to your local drug or beauty supply and buying a product that is appropriately scented or contains an herb or essential oil. The important thing about taking one of these baths, no matter how humble or expensive the ingredients are, is to meditate on your intention while you are sitting in the tub. You can get a little fancier, by making an infusion from flowers, herbs or other elements. Brewing the herbs as you would brew a cup of herbal tea and then pouring the strained infusion into your bath water is the easiest way to make an infusion. You can also put the ingredients in a cheesecloth bag that hangs over the bathtub faucet and have the hot water run through the ingredients. In some cases you can actually buy tea bags and just toss them in the water. I’m a purist so personally I love to throw the entire herb, flower or vegetable in the bath. It makes me feel like I am Cleopatra having a bath in ancient Egypt or like some kind of wicked harlot getting ready for her Roman Soldier. However if you do decide to get really into the food aspect of this make sure you have some kind of strainer on your drain so that stuff doesn’t flow down your pipes. What can I say? Some miracles can be quite “messy”. Here are a couple of “quick fixes” for aspiring witches on the run: ALL PURPOSE AURA CLEANER: Half a cup of sea or Epsom salts plus half a cup of baking soda dumped in the tub is the potion used to purify the aura and clear it of all negative attachments so that you are surrounded by a rainbow of opportunities again. BARLEY WATER BATH: This is for protection and to dispel evil with a capital E. This is definitely the one to do if you are feeling haunted by something that seems unseemly and of supernatural origin. Boil whole barley until it is soft in a pot. Drain and save the water. Pour into the bath. Bad spirits will run like hell. CHAMOMILE: Chamomile not only relaxes you, but you can use it as a magical bath to draw money to you. Many preparations are available commercially but you can also make an infusion out of the buds or even throw the buds directly into the bath. I do not advise this if you are allergic to ragweed. CHOCOLATE CHERRY BATH: Ok this one is completely decadent and is designed to bring more erotic pleasure into your life. First of all you should know that there are commercial chocolate bubble bath preparations out there on the market, but they can be somewhat hard to find in some areas. So what you need to do first, is mix yourself up a little glass of chocolate milk. The milk is good for your skin and the chocolate raises your serotonin levels - the pleasure chemicals in your brain. It also makes the water a very nice loving looking pink. You dump this into the tub as the hot water is pouring into the tub and then you pop nine whole cherries into the bath with you. Then you are supposed to sit there and eat each cherry, while imagining what a good time you are going to have with your lover. The little bobbing cherries are like all your “little ducksâ€� lined up in a row when it comes to your romantic intentions. Rinse off good after this. You’ll need it. FAME AND GLORY BATH: This one is from Lexa Rosean (author of The Supermarket Sorceress series of books). I tried it and I LOVED it. Cut an apple in nine pieces, or alternately throw nine whole shiny apples into the tub. Use green and golden apples if you want your fame to come with some money attached. Then add nine bay leaves. Get in the tub and immerse yourself for exactly nine minutes, and then get out. It is supposed to be a good one for artists and writers. GINGER-LIME BATH: You can buy this commercially (made by Ombra). Which is way easier than grating the ginger, peeling the lime and making a “bath teaâ€� out of it, or you can cut up some ginger and lime and make an infusion of it a pot. The ginger is to relax and focus you and the lime is for self-control, discipline and a clear head. This is a great bath for those who need to get down to business fast. FRUIT BLOSSOM BATHS: Once again these are available commercially which will do, but it is really really nice to take a handful of blossoms from a tree and dump them in your bath. Apple Blossoms, Apricot Blossoms, Cherry Blossoms and Orange Blossoms all correspond to the planet Venus and are ideal for attracting love, fidelity and marriage proposals. HONEYSUCKLE: You can buy this as a bubble bath or once again, just throw the flowers into the tub. Honeysuckle attracts wealth, riches, honours, marriage proposals and treasures. This is one way to draw the bird to the blossom. It also honours Chuparosa - the Divine Hummingbird of Love. HOPS: You can buy hops in a commercially prepared bubble bath (OMBRA) or you can pour half a cup of beer in the bath for spiritual cleansing (and also a peaceful sleep.) David from Psychic Realm suggests combining a half a cup of sea salt, the juice of a lemon and a half of cup of beer for spiritual purification and protection from astral attack. LAVENDER: Lavender corresponds to the planet Mercury and is used to improve communication, attract happiness and achieve piece of mind. It is also a very seductive flower that was used by prostitutes as a magic charm to attract customers many years ago. Many commercial preparations are available, but throwing in a few of the live buds might bring you a wealthy and generous lover. OAT BEAUTY BATH: OK, most of us dont live near a field, but if you gather your own oats and throw the sheaves into the bathtub with you, you are performing a significant act of magical transformation. Oats are very feminine and appeal to the Goddess energies. They soften the skin, make the eyes glow and give you a youthful appearance. You can throw a cup of raw, uncooked oats into the bath if youre in hurry or you can buy a commercial preparation. Aveeno makes a good one. ORANGE AND MINT LEAVES: This is a bath to make yourself more attractive and your skin smell really nice. Take nine mint leaves and nine orange segments and dump them in the bath with you. You don’t have to eat the mint and orange leaves this time (thank God) but you can if you get hungry.) When you get out of the bath, you are not supposed to rinse off, just towel yourself off lightly so that the scent lingers. You could also try mixing an orange bath gel with a mint one. PINEAPPLE: Pineapple juice is used to bring luck, money and wealth, and if you are a savage purist, you can throw nine chunks of the raw stuff right in your bath. However I warn you, that it is pretty messy. Some people prefer to throw in the dried rinds. Just adding a spoonful of the juice or making an infusion from the dried rinds and immersing yourself from head to toe in it for a couple of minutes should make you luckier than a leprechaun. ROSE: Roses correspond to Venus and attract love, luck and protection. There are tons of rose-scented products on the market, including essential oils - though David from Psychic Realm points out that Essential Rose Oil is incredibly expensive and you may want to stick with fragrance oils used in perfumes and baths. If you want to go all out and make yourself a powerful love attracting bath, tint the scented water pink with a touch of food colouring and cast a pinch or two some multicoloured glitter (from a craft store) in there to strengthen your magical intentions. ROSEMARY: Rosemary is a powerful wish granting herb. Ombra makes an excellent commercial bath, but you can make an infusion of this from the spice jar in your cupboard or put a bit of the essential oil in your bath (but make it just one drop - rosemary is strong and can irritate the skin - so I mean it, use one drop!) A bath in rosemary uplifts the spirits and is used to create lust, attract love and improve communication skills. It is also corresponds to the Virgin Mary, so if you are in need of a lucky break, a bath in this may enable you to be shown some mercy. SAFFRON BATH: Saffron was sacred to the Moon and Fertility Goddess, Ashtoreth. Saffron is a very expensive spice and you need to only add a couple of strands to your bath water to turn it a yellow colour. Don’t add too much or you will turn yellow. ill be a jaundiced colour. So either make an infusion from it first or just add one strand. Saffron was used to purify oneself before healing rituals, increase psychic powers and also attract love, happiness, lust, and strength. SAGE BATH: Sage is an herb of wisdom. Make a brew of the herb and pour it into your bath. Some companies (like Ombra and Kniepp) make a sage bath, but you can also just buy the tea bags. This is a good bath to take just before studying for a test or if you are trying to find a solution to a problem.

This WHY I LOVE TAKING THE BATHS ?

Harry Potter's Courage Spell

Need:

1. pen and paper 2. cayenne pepper (passion/protection) 3. red pepper flakes (passion/protection) 4. chili powder (passion/protection) 5. cinnamon (success) 6. vanilla beans (positivity) 7. coffee grounds (dispels negativity) 8. one jar 9. red string (passion/strength) 10. yellow string (happiness)

Steps:

1. Write down on a piece of paper everything that you’re afraid of and want to overcome. Afterwords fold it up.

2. Then place the cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes and chili powder in the jar. Bury the piece of paper inside the peppers visualizing all of your fears, second guesses and doubts burning away and being replaced with a firey passion, courage and motivation.

3. Next, put in the cinnamon for success in overcoming your fears. Put in vanilla beans for positivity and then coffee grounds to dispel any negativity. When you’re done screw on the cap and say:

“Heart of a lion, these fears I will overcome. The days of me second guessing myself are done. Courage and strength will be my aid, my friends. I will be the one to win in the end.”

4. After, tie on the yellow string and then the red. Place the jar where you can see it. Touch it, hold it, etc whenever you need a reminder to be brave.

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!

Seven Nation Army - Protection Bottle/Binding Curse

I’m gonna fight ‘em off A seven nation army couldn’t hold me back They’re gonna rip it off Taking their time right behind my back And I’m talkin’ to myself at night Because I can’t forget Back and forth through my mind Behind a cigarette And the message comin’ from my eyes says, “Leave it alone.”

x

If you’re like me, you grew up on songs like Seven Nation Army. Or you’ve heard them profusely, at least. That’s how it was for me, since my parents were both deep into the punk/grunge scene in the 80′s-early 90′s. Lots of the songs I heard were songs like Seven Nation Army, and every time I heard it when I was little, it just filled me with this sort of war-like energy. It made me feel like I could take on anything with gleaming, narrowed eyes, blazing guns, and a whole lot of smoke.

This isn’t your average protection bottle. This makes sure that if anyone even dares to fuck with you, there’s no way they’re coming out of it without the scars to remember why messing with you is a terrible, awful idea.

What You’ll Need

Rue - Causing Strife (Poisonous, do not handle if pregnant/nursing)

Nettle - Causing Strife, and Protection

Cactus - Causing Strife and Pain, as well as Protection

Devil’s Shoestring - Binding, Causing Pain, and Protection

Cayenne - Causing Pain, Protection

Something sharp (i.e. Thorns, Glass, Nails) - General Cursing, Causing Pain. HANDLE WITH EXTREME CARE.

Your own Blood, Sweat, Spit, and Urine - Binds the protection to you, and adds a surprisingly strong kick to any curse. Only procure these by safe means, do not exert/harm yourself more than you need to.

A Poppet represent your current/future enemies

A jar you can seal up nice and tight

What To Do

Cleanse your space, place down your protections, cleanse your tools, and get ready to begin.

In the jar, add in your sharp objects, minus the cactus. Make sure there’s enough for your poppet to lay across.

Create your poppet, and make it either look like your representation, or leave it blank to represent anyone who will mess with you in the coming future. Inside of the poppet, add your Rue, Nettle, and Cayenne.

Once you’ve got that dealt with, take your Devil’s Shoestring, and bind that thing’s hands and legs together. If you’re feeling especially fired up, you can even bind it’s throat.

Take the Cactus Pricks you’ve acquired, and carefully push them into where you wish your target’s pain to be the worst. My person opinion? The crotch area, the chest, the head, the legs, and the arms. Or any combination thereof.

Take that poppet, give it it’s identity*, and then throw it in there. Cover it up in any additional sharp things you may have left over, and then put some additional Nettle, Cactus, Devil’s Shoestring, and Cayenne inside.

After this, take your Blood, Sweat, Spit, and Urine. Put them inside.

Repeat these lyrics over the bottle as much as needed, then close the spell, and go on to cleanse your space and tools, as well as yourself. Shake the jar when you need a boost of protection, and leave it on your altar/space for it’s protection, and a reminder thereof. To remove this protection, simply open the jar, and dispose of the ingredients in the trash.

* To Give your Poppet it’s Identity, repeat this:

“Poppet, I name you [Name]/I name you after my future enemies. As you are bound, so are they bound. As you are caused this pain and strife, so are they caused this pain and strife. As you suffer, so shall they suffer.”

It should be noted, that this curse will only set off if you give it a specific target. Otherwise, it’s programmed to only begin when someone messes with you in any major way that would warrant a curse this strong to be applied.
