How Do You Dispose Of Perishable Offerings From Your Altar When You To Switch Out Or Redecorate? I Feel

Imbolc Ideas 🕯

Imbolc is a celebration of fertility, incoming spring and light! (Or the birth of your livestock depending on what you’re into) It falls on February 1/2, 2020 for the northern hemisphere. Luckily this lines up with a weekend! Here are some ideas to get energy flowing and celebrate Imbolc.

Clean your room 🧹

Set out some amethyst on your alter

Try a new type of divination 🔮

Cook with cinnamon, rosemary or ginger

Light a candle 💥

Pet some sheep (don’t) (unless you can) (message me if you can pet some sheep)

Clean your house 🏠

Dress in white, silver, orange and red

Go on a walk 🧚‍♀️

Make a Brigid cross and read up on Imbolc’s history

C L E A N 🧹

I know it’s early, but time always slips by when you’re not paying attention. Have a safe January!

“You Cannot Touch Her” Curse/Binding

This curse is particularly for people who have done harm in the past, and as such already known to be a potential threat. The idea is to keep the person from speaking to or approaching the one you’re trying to protect, and to make them feel watched and judged for their past actions.

You will need the following:

A jar big enough to hold a poppet

Some kind of poppet - I used a wooden one with the offender’s name written on the bottom. A photo could also be used

White out

A black candle

A mixture of black salt & cayenne pepper

A sigil of your own design meaning “You cannot touch [name or pronoun]”

A permanent marker

Light the candle and white out the mouth of your poppet. Roll the poppet in the mixture of black salt and cayenne pepper (black salt tends to stain so keep this in mind). Place it in the jar and seal the lid, leaving the poppet inside under the gaze of dozens of eyes. Write your sigil on the lid. During or after all of this, say the following aloud or think it to yourself (change pronouns accordingly):

You cannot touch her. You cannot speak to her. Think of her and bring this curse upon you. May your tongue catch in your throat if you dare to reach her. May you burn and ache if you come near. May you feel eyes upon your back each time you think her name. They’re watching. I’m watching. May you forever question the gaze of others - Do they know the things you’ve done? I do. I curse you. I bind you. You cannot touch her.

Stash the jar in a dark place, like a closet or a cabinet (I don’t recommend burying jars). Let the candle burn until it extinguishes itself.

Every since I found out the lyrics are actually “he looks up grinning like a devil” and that they refer to Taylor being completely exasperated by his lack of response after yelling that she’s completely in love with him, and he’s simply GRINNING AND SMUG ABOUT IT, I’ve since been screaming the line and wildly throwing my arms to gesture at an invisible person in the corner to show that I too AM REACHING A NEW LEVEL OF FRUSTRATION

Letting Go Spell 🔥🔮

I used this to let go of anger and to move on from a situation that I’ve been stubbornly clinging onto for weeks. Sometimes anger does more harm than pain. As with any spell or ritual change what you see fit. 🌱

What you’ll need

-A cleansed rock

-A red candle

-Something to write with

-Moon/rain water

-A selection of music (optional)

-A compass?

What to do

Cleanse your space any any tools you’re using.

Play intense angered music, something with heavy lyrics and sound. I listen to something similar to “im yer dad” by GRLwood

Hold your rock and write on it what you want to let go of, for example I wrote anger and drew a sigil for releasing anger.

While facing the East, light the red candle and pour some of the wax onto the rock.

Hold the rock, scream, head bang, be angry, and swear.

Go outside and face the West. (You can face a window if need be) Sit cross legged with the rock in your right hand.

Begin centering yourself, slowly feel the anger from within seep out into the rock.

Change the music to something light. (I listened to Daylight by Taylor Swift)

Continue to envision the rock becoming heavier and hotter and yourself become lighter and relaxed.

When the time feels right toss rock away from you. Not aggressively, just kindly return the rock back to earth. There is nothing this anger can do to serve you now.

Speak “I return this energy to you. Bless me with the strength to move on. So mote it be.”

Meditate and cleanse your forehead with moon/rain water. These things are no longer with you, move up and move on.

Notes

Remember to cast a protective circle.

Magick is fluid and changes for each individual please don’t feel you need to strictly follow this or any other spell step by step. Replace tools with what you have on hand, include your deities, skip steps, it is ALL about intent!

I prefer to do this spell in the rain and use that to cleanse myself. It is truly powerful.

Don’t practice magick when you are upset or distraught, things will go sour.

Feel free to reach out to me with any questions or concerns!

Blessed be 🌍 ✨

They say all foxes are slightly allergic to linoleum, but it’s cool to the paw - try it. They say my tail needs to be dry cleaned twice a month, but now it’s fully detachable - see? They say our tree may never grow back, but one day, something will. Yes, these crackles are made of synthetic goose and these giblets come from artificial squab and even these apples look fake - but at least they’ve got stars on them. I guess my point is, we’ll eat tonight, and we’ll eat together. And even in this not particularly flattering light, you are without a doubt the five and a half most wonderful wild animals I’ve ever met in my life. So let’s raise our boxes - to our survival.
