I made a witch ball for Yule.

This witch ball has a sparkly, wintery look. It can be used for your Yule spellwork, or can simply be used as a Christmas tree ornament.

Materials you'll need to make a witch ball for Yule

1 clear glass ornament ball (about 3-4 inches in diameter)

Silver glitter

1/2 cup white beeswax

1/4 cup red beeswax

1/4 cup green beeswax

An assortment of dried herbs associated with Yule

A few drops of pine essential oil for a festive scent

Twine for hanging

Small snowflake charm

Instructions

Wash the glass ornament with warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly.

Place a small amount of glitter inside the ornament and roll it around to coat the inside. Remove any excess glitter.

Set up a double boiler with a few inches of water and place a heat-safe bowl on top.

Add the white, red, and green beeswax to the bowl. Heat the water gently and stir occasionally, until the wax melts completely.

While the wax is still warm, add assorted dried herbs and a few drops of pine essential oil to the ornament. Carefully pour the melted wax into the ornament.

Allow the wax to cool and harden completely. Once the wax has cooled and hardened, attach some twine with a small snowflake charm to the top of the ornament.

Hang your Yule witch ball on your Christmas tree or display it in your home to enjoy its beauty and festive scent.

Voices of clarity and truth in the faces of those who wish to silence so many is what is needed. FORWARD! ✊🏾🙌🏽🫶🏾✌🏽

a friendly reminder to pagans & witches:

it is okay if you weren't productive today.

it is okay if you didn't do any spellwork.

it is okay if you didn't pray.

it is okay if you didn't offer something to your deities.

it is okay if you didn't learn anything new.

it is okay if you didn't feel like doing something related to your craft.

it is okay if you didn't have any motivation to do anything.

it is okay.

your path is yours and it should make you comfortable.

perhaps you had planned many things to do, perhaps you wanted to learn more, perhaps you wished for some time alone with your deities; or perhaps you were looking forward to something else.

it is okay if you couldn't do it — whether you weren't feeling well, you had other things to do or you just didn't want to.

your practice should be something that is useful and helpful, something which you should benefit from. take this into account when you are in your spiritual space <3
