💀 How To - Curses  💀

💀 what is a curse?

A curse is a spell designed to cause a person or place harm or misfortune for whatever reasons the caster has. Occasionally they have been used to protect when it used against a concept, “cursing out” infections and medical problems.

HOW TO WRITE YOUR OWN CURSES / SPELLS 💀

💀 common spell components for curses:

CRYSTALS    —  tourmaline  /  plain quartz /  amethyst /  selenite,

WATERS  — harbor water / new moon water / storm water / muddy water

TOOLS  — candles (black, red usually) / taglocks / string / poppets

ENCHANTED OBJECTS — knife / taglock / poppet / jar 

MISC  — sharp objects / alcohol / pepper / broken glass

💀 suggestions for various types of curses:

PAIN  — rusty nails /  raspberry leaves 

REVENGE  — chilis / rose thorns / rose ashes

REGRET  — thistle / wine / willow leaves / cypress

MISFORTUNE  — ashes /  barberry plant 

The Horned God...The Forest God...The Green Man...All One.

Most of these probably came from @magicandman​, who you should be following, if you’re not.  I made some Deskies from the ones that really hit me.  Thank you, Brother!

And yes, I do think Jim embodied this, especially in this pic.

As an agnostic modern witch, sometimes very old holiday traditions are hard to follow. I don’t have a patron deity or anything but I do still celebrate Christmas. So I put together a modern 12 day holiday guide so I can still celebrate the 12 days of Yule without having to try to cram everything in around my and my family’s work schedule. Now there are tons of ways to celebrate and tons of different traditions out there, so you can adapt this guide however you want.

Self Care and Support Bath

Ingredients

* Mineral Salts

* Rose based bath bombs (I use the Rhiannon bomb from Magick and Macabre as I needed her with me majorly, but for non devotees, anything with Rose, Bergamot, and Jasmine works.)

* A citrus scented bubbler (I use the lemon bubble bar from Lush)

* A pint of chilled milk (I went for 1% - I suggest using liquid milk rather than powdered milk for this one)

* Your preferred blessed oils (I used Filthy Sheets and Love Clarity, as I’m in serious need of some emotional organization and an attraction boost for tomorrow)

* Citrine

* Mandarin Orange

* An herbal scented candle (I used a gift from a dear family friend that is Sage and Driftwood scented)

Instructions

* Draw a bath at the hottest temperature your tub is capable of - hotter than you would want to rest in. It will cool down as it steeps.

* When the water is about two inches deep, put in the Mineral Salts. Let dissolve fully.

* Once the salts are dissolved, and the water is about four inches deep, add the the chilled milk. Let the clouds fully incorporate

* Once blended, add the rose bath bomb - I went with two, for a stronger color/scent/really calling Rhiannon to me, but one is fine

* Put your citrus bubbler under the tap - keep there until approximately half of the bath is sufficiently covered, but this isn’t a bath for mountains of bubbles.

* Put approximately 8 drops of your chosen oils in - put them in at the opposite end of your tub from the tap

* Peel and halve the mandarin orange, and place it in front of the citrine on the edge of the bath

* Place the candle on the opposite edge from the citrine, and light it.

* Place your palms on the top of the water. Feel how hot it is, and absorb that warmth into your palms (take care not to scald yourself!)

* Once your tub is 80% filled, turn the tap to ice cold water. Let it run until you hit 100%, climb in, and focus on letting go of stress and fear, and letting comfort, focus, and motivation fill you

* You can do this. I believe in you. Exhale and let the lighter florals and citrus scents wash over you while the depth of the herbal soothes you. Life is tough. But you’re tougher. Embrace this moment of gentleness.

“Crow is the messenger of the middle world. Crow belongs to Old Woman as the trickster witch-hag lost in the ancient woods. Crows are creatures of the daytime and scavengers eating the leftovers of hunters and warriors. Crows are not of death and darkness (though they follow it closely for scraps), but are tricksters, humour, curiosity, family, and fellowship. Crows are reflections and shadows of we humans. They are territorial guardians and watchers for the other creatures of the earth warning of dangers, predators, bad weather, outsiders, bad luck, and misfortunes. This is where their bad reputation comes from, but they’re just trying to help. Crow is the messenger of the creatures and spirits of the middle world; of the animals, plants, wights, and elemental forces all around us every day.”
