Charging your crystal/charm
Leave your crystal/charm/spell jar/talisman on the corresponding sigil(whatever you're trying to do or achieve), play some music ๐ต near it that has similar vibes/energy as your intention and let the crystal/charm/spell jar/talisman charge as you leave and go about doing your chores.
Let the sigil and music do its job while you do yours :)
All amazing points and so important to take in. I think I have done a couple of these, but not habitually or intensely. But it's good awareness for me.
Talk to trees or animals/Connect with nature and/or animals as if they were your friends๐ฟ๐พ
Use leaves to make "potions" and magical concoctions๐ต
Make wishes with candles and/or above mentioned potions๐ฏ
Pretend that your food or drink was a magic potion of power or whatever you had wished for, lol ๐ฅ๐ง
Pretend to be a witch, goddess, powerful being, forest/water nymph, mermaid, or some celestial/"mythical" being๐งโโ๏ธ๐ง๐ปโโ๏ธ๐งโโ๏ธ๐ง๐ฝโโ๏ธ
Try to see if you could control the weather with your emotions โ
Try to move things with your mind or read other peoples ๐ง
Talk to the sun, moons, stars, etc. โญ๐โ๏ธ
Write spells, chants, or incantations in your notebook or on paper (or napkins, lol) ๐
Notice things you have spent time thinking about seem to happen the way you thought it would or wished it would (maybe sometimes how you wished it wouldnt have turn out *unconsciously manifesting the negative*) ๐ญ
Experience dream deja vu and/or dream messages ๐
Believed in ghosts and spirits or had some sort of supernatural experience(s) ๐ป
Collected Rocks, seashells, twigs, etc๐
Looked for or was more frequently drawn to supernatural/mystical/mythical based books ๐ฎ
Had memories that you couldnt explain or were too young to have and/or had *visions that were true or came true ๐
There are plenty more examples, these are just a few that I could think of on the spot ๐ค, please reblog or comment with your own ๐ฌ๐ฆ๐งฟ๐ฎ๐๐

Hello!
I've become very interested in foraging and growing my own herbs. As Samhain approaches (Oct. 31st), I hang these herbs and flowers to dry. Over this next month, I will focus my intention on reconnecting with myself and my ancestors before me.
________________
Cedar leaves and bark - cleansing, healing, protecting
Marigolds (Calendula) - prophecy and rebirth
Rosemary - connection to ancestors
Sage (grown in my garden) - protecting and cleansing
Cinnamon sticks - prosperity
Dried orange slices - divination and luck
Once dry, tie together with cotton or other natural string.
________________
As Samhain approached, the veil thins and our connection to the other side becomes clearer. Now is the time to celebrate our roots, connect with our ancestors, and celebrate the Witch's new year.
As we move into the final season, the life around us begins to die, awaiting rebirth next spring. We have much to learn from this cycle of death and birth. In this time I attract peace and prosperity, while paying respects to those I have lost. I set intentions for the new year, and prepare to rest as the weather grows cold.

If you cannot find representations for a given element, rememberโฆ
You are supported by a rigid skeleton made of minerals. You are earth.
Your body is over 70% fluid. You are water.
Your lungs take in and expel breath. You are air.
Your blood is warm and your brain runs on electrical impulses. You are fire.
Your essence, however you describe it, resides within you. You are spirit.
You are composed of gifts from every element, and every element is given marvelous life in you.
Never feel that you are insufficiently magical for lack of icons or accoutrements or accessories.
You are ALWAYS magic. You are ALWAYS enough.
