Traveling Witchcraft

As I’m beginning to plan for my future, my girlfriend and I agree upon one thing: we want to travel. We want to buy a bus and go just about everywhere. But if my life is spent on the road how do I fit in witchcraft? Well, here’s my four R’s.

• Research! Research about where you’re going. Find out about the history, plant life, animal life, weather, etc.

• Respect. Don’t even think about practicing anything from a closed culture that’s not yours. Respect the local wildlife. Remember that you are merely a visitor. If you’re performing a spell somewhere don’t leave anything behind (including energy) pick up and cleanse after yourself. The list goes on but just remember your manners.

• Resourcefulness! You don’t need super expensive tools to practice witchcraft. Travel altars, homemade tools, and the like are just as powerful!

• Routine. Start a routine you can take with you anywhere. Meditation, visualization, affirmations, gratitude, and so many other tools will help you create an routine that you can keep with you wherever you go.

Comment with any other tips you have! Happy witching!

Diy Scrying Ball

I’ve been waiting since last Christmas for my local Dollar Tree to stock the diy snow globes so I could put my master plan into action. The time has finally come!

Last year I created this:

Now I’m gonna step it up a notch and create this:

Lets go!

Materials:

Diy Globe kit

Sparkle glue or Sparkles and Veg Glycerin

Waterproof LED Tea lights

(not pictured)

a drill

a hot glue gun

food coloring

rubbing alcohol or hand sanitizer

Bowl

something to stir with

Instructions

so you’re gonna separate the kit into all its parts and then drill a hole into the lid smaller than the bulb of the tealight.

Slowly push the bulb through the hole to open it up, then take it out, hot-glue the area around the bulb then slide it back in, once its in give it a thin layer of hot glue over where the bulb protrudes. Test that the light still works and will fit into the base without issue.

move to a sink, place the globe into a bowl and add some water and color (best to mix the food coloring in water then add to globe)

add in your alcohol, glitter and glycerin (or glitter glue), then top it off with water put back on the bottom.

That’s it!

Happy Scrying

Ive taken a bit of a break from some forms of my practice so I can relax and get ready to begin work with a deity. Its crazy how fluid my craft has become.

After a new altar setup for my candles I feel more at ease and its feels very natural here. My craft slowly becomes more natural to me daily and I’m happy to my connection to magick.

Just made dedicated candles for my spirit guides and ancestors! Im excited to work with them more and pray to them

How cozy is this room?? 😍🌙

Personally I am going to take a long break from spell jars and get more comfortable with my plants, grimoire, and other crafts that I am working on right now. I just wanna be immersed in my craft through things I enjoy
