magickal properties of moss: luck, money, protection & safety ♡
If you live in America mark on your calendars that August 21 will be the solar eclipse. It will peak at 2:44pm EST ( do a bit of research to see what you’ll be able to see and your locally occurring time).
I also highly suggest you collect solar eclipse water during this time. Solar eclipse water is good for supercharging spells to give it an extra kick if you need it as well as it works very well for spells involving transformation, change, or release.
🌱 Oxalis is a very common plant, and a great natural resource for beginning witches because of that!
🌱 Oxalis is bound to Venus and Earth, love and home respectively. This makes the plant perfect for home protection and similar spells home oriented.
🌱 They are also commonly mistaken for clovers! Which makes them great for glamours, they are able to masquerade as something other than themself without trying. The glamour can be made for love especially, because of the ties to Venus mentioned earlier.
🌱 They can be used for luck, not only because of their looks relating to clovers, but because of their own lucky and abundant properties. Use in money and wealth spells for abundance and prosperity, as well as luck spells!
🌱 These plants spread deep roots, which means they can help you with grounding. They are good to eat so consider eating some and grounding yourself before big magical endeavors!
🍀Overall we can see that Oxalis is a very versatile plant, used for love, luck, home, abundance, grounding, glamours. So go out and collect some!🍀
Happy Witching!✨

so you're a bit confused about the different phases of the moon or how and what they do or you're just too lazy to actively hunt down the info and put it in your grimoire. No worries, your witch dad is here to help you :)
new moon, happens every month, start of a new lunar cycle.
cannot be seen, sun behind moon-lighting side faced away from the earth.
best for: new beginnings, setting intentions for the month, best place to make plans and decide what to do.
seen as crescent in the sky, illuminated on right-hand side as sun slowly starts to move from behind the moon. first sign that energy is building and in a few days the moon will be at full power
best for: working on self-confidence/compassion/self-assurance. put plans into place to reach goals. build yourself up
can see a clear half-moon in the sky. at half power. sun is side by side with moon
best for: reflection, taking a pause, revel in what you have been working on and celebrate achievements. think about how u want to celebrate full moon, get ready for serious action.
slither of dark moon left unseen. one step away from full power
best for: one phase away from full, hone in on intentions/goals/actions.
make sure you are paying attention to details and staying mindful of what is externally and internally happening
Big boy moon. Full power. can tap into her energy to help gain insight or to 💫manifest💫. most powerful time of the moon
best for: manifestations, adding more power to your intentions. good for rituals/spells. great time for releasing or banishing rituals, manifestations spells and meditation. good for charging and cleansing. Moon water
winding down of moons power. sun is moving away and taking its light with it.
best for: turn inwards and evaluate what has happened over last few days. think about full moon ritual/meditation and readjust your intentions goals for the rest of the month
illuminated on the left side. back to half power and is fading.
best for: let go of what is holding you back, let go of any negativity in your life. Examples: self-limiting beliefs, people who aren’t great for you or your life, fear and basically anything that isn’t serving you or letting you progress in your life. Cleanse yourself and home.
power of moon is nearly over. small crescent left in night’s sky. nearly time for new moon and new beginnings.
best for: take a deep breath and surrender to whatever happened and what is beyond your power. don't beat yourself up if you didn't complete any of your goals. dust yourself off and pick yourself up and get ready for a new cycle. Remember to be kind and compassionate to yourself.
I felt like people searching my tags would need a little clarification on the difference between a jinx, hex and curse (according to me).
A jinx is a form of malevolent magic where the subject gets bad luck, minor misfortunes. It’s simple, nasty, but isn’t meant to seriously harm someone. Usually only lasts a little while. A hex is a form of malevolent magic, more powerful than a jinx. Lasts longer, and is usually “broken” when the subject learns their lesson. A curse is the most powerful, and if done well it can last a lifetime or even longer. Can be cast on a person or family, and can last forever or until something is done to atone for whatever caused then to be cursed.
Grow one plant for each area of your life (mental health, physical health, friendships, etc). Every time you care for that plant, check in with yourself and see if there’s any way you could be helping that part of your life flourish.
Prune/harvest to cut out old issues Water/fertilize to encourage growth Repot/add soil for change and new beginnings
inspired by @curseworm and her love of dirt
(all associations are my own, this is just a personal guide)
Garden mud- hard work, growth, health, grounding
Pathway mud- obstacles, cursing, travel
Graveyard mud- spiritual communication, banishing, memory
Woodland mud- secrets, animal communication, invocation, peace
River mud- change, cleansing, blessings
When you clean the mud off your boots, let all the negativity you’ve picked up along the way go with it
Get a jar of pathway mud and put someone’s name in it. This will make it harder for them to achieve their goals (ahem, ahem, Trump)
As usual- don’t take anything from private private property (unless you have permission) and don’t trespass. that’s just illegal and id like you to be safe
and it might be wise to leave a gift when you take something from nature, but that’s a personal choice
When planting mint in your garden, plant it in its own pot rather than in the ground itself or it will quickly spread and take over the flower bed
When putting together any kind of job spell, I always include items/herbs for four intents:
Wealth - actual physical currency I can use to pay bills and buy food.
Prosperity - long term ‘doing well for myself’ beyond just ‘having money for food and bills’, but really having at least the potential to Go Places
Luck - because heck knows I need luck in job interviews and to get people to look at my resume and application
Happiness - oh god, I didn’t include this in the first job spells I did, and LEMME TELL YOU, I wound up with a job that paid decently and had lots of potential for promotion, and I ABSOLUTELY COULD NOT STAND my boss or my coworkers, the work itself was awful, and I cannot describe the absolute dread that filled me before going in to every shift.
[Protip: Aventurine has all four of these properties]
