Lonely Doll Spell

A Spell to Reduce Loneliness

Items Needed:

Either a pre-made stuffed toy or sewing pattern for a stuffed doll and stuffing

Scissors

Needle and thread

A Crystal/Stone you connect with

Lavender or similiar aromatic herb that you enjoy

A slip of paper and a pen

Instructions:

Either create a stuffed doll or buy one. It can be an animal, a person, or whatever stuffed toy you personally connect with. It can even be modeled after your familiar.

Cut a small hole in the stuffed toy’s back and begin stuffing it with lavender. As you do this step, feel the doll become purified of any outside energies that may have previously clung to it. Visualize the toy becoming a completely blank slate that will soon be charged with the protective and loving powers of the lavender. You have now given the doll a purpose.

Take the crystal and charge it with your intent. This doll will serve as your companion in times of need, in times when you feel there is no one else there for you. Once the crystal is charged to your liking, place the crystal inside the doll. You have now given the doll a “soul.”

Take a slip of paper and write down whatever name you wish to give your new Lonely Doll. Write down any other traits you wish the doll to have on slips of paper. Stuff these into the doll. You have now given the doll an identity.

Sew up the doll with the thread.

Whenever you feel sad or lonely, talk to your Lonely Doll. Hug your Lonely Doll and feel its comforting energy. Do not abuse or berate your Lonely Doll. Cleanse your Lonely Doll with clear quartz or blessed water from time to time to avoid a build up of sad energies.

Who Do I Attract?

So, I have a lot of these asks in my inbox right now, and it’s not really an ask meme, it’s an entire area of astrology! I figured it’d be easiest to just make a post on what areas and ways you may attract certain signs or placements.

The placements here are likely to draw in people of certain signs or planetary dominants. Usually, it will attract the Suns, Risings and dominants of these signs. 

Below, in no particular order, are areas of your chart that may attract certain people or placements.

Your Moon Element will attract the same element and it’s pairing one. For example, a fire moon will attract fire and air moons. This is because your inner workings and feelings are understood by each other more so than typically incompatible elements, like water and air.

Your Rising Element will also attract the same element and it’s pairing one, but it may attract the Rising or Sun sign. For example, an earth rising will attract earth suns and/or risings. This is because your flow and ego is attractive to those who think and appear like you too, rather than those who are more reserved or wild than yourself.

Your Rising Sign is likely to attract, and in turn be drawn to, it’s sister sign. This can be in Sun, Rising or Dominance. This is because your ascendant is the opposite of your descendant, and this is the type of person we look for and admire. For example, Virgo Risings have Pisces Descendants, so are attracted/attractive to Pisces Suns, Risings and/or Dominance as the two act as a whole.

Stelliums which you may have will attract people of a certain sign. If you have a Stellium in a sign, such as Aries, you will attract Aries. This could be Aries Sun, Rising or Dominant. It may also attract Mars, Fire or 1st house dominance. If you have a Stellium in a house, such as the 3rd house, you will attract Gemini. This could be Gemini Sun, Rising or Dominant. It may also attract Mercury, Air or 3rd house dominance. A list of possible sign and house stelliums and the placements they may attract is below. The people you attract may not be mathematically dominant in these ways, but they may be prominent in their chart, like in their Moon or Mars placements.

Aries/1st House Stellium: Aries, Mars, Sun, 1st House, Fire dominance

Taurus/2nd House Stellium: Taurus, Venus, Moon, 2nd House, Earth dominance

Gemini/3rd House Stellium: Gemini, Mercury, 3rd House, Air dominance

Cancer/4th House Stellium: Cancer, Moon, Jupiter, 4th House, Water dominance

Leo/5th House Stellium: Leo, Sun, 5th House, Fire dominance

Virgo/6th House Stellium: Virgo, Mercury, 6th House, Earth dominance

Libra/7th House Stellium: Libra, Venus, 7th House, Air dominance

Scorpio/8th House Stellium: Scorpio, Mars, Pluto, 8th House, Water dominance

Sagittarius/9th House Stellium: Sagittarius, Jupiter, 9th House, Fire dominance

Capricorn/10th House Stellium: Capricorn, Saturn, Mars, 10th House, Earth dominance

Aquarius/11th House Stellium: Aquarius, Uranus, Saturn, 11th House, Air dominance

Pisces/12th House Stellium: Neptune, Jupiter, Venus, Pisces, 12th House, Water dominance

Your Dominant Sign will also attract certain signs. For example, if you are Aquarius dominant, it is likely you attract air or fire Sun and Risings, as well as fellow air/fire dominants.

Your Dominant Planet will also attract certain signs as it is the energy dominant within you. A list is given below. The sign in capitals is the sign ruled by this planet, so it is the most likely to be drawn to you. The one in normal case is where this planet exalts, so whilst they are drawn to you, it is not as much as the first.

Sun dominant: LEO, Aries

Moon dominant: CANCER, Taurus

Mercury dominant: GEMINI, VIRGO

Venus dominant: TAURUS, LIBRA, Pisces

Mars dominant: ARIES, SCORPIO, Capricorn

Jupiter dominant: SAGITTARIUS, PISCES, Cancer

Saturn dominant: CAPRICORN, AQUARIUS, Libra

Uranus dominant: AQUARIUS, Scorpio

Neptune dominant: PISCES, Leo, Cancer (People debate whether Neptune exalts in Leo or Cancer - to keep peace I have written both)

Pluto dominant: SCORPIO, Pisces, Aries (People debate whether Pluto exalts in Pisces or Aries - to keep peace I have written both)

For example, someone with Jupiter dominant is likely to attract Sagittarius dominants. Or, equally, someone with Sagittarius dominant is likely to attract Jupiter dominants.

There are even more areas you could personally look, but referring to this list can give you a good idea. For example, if you have Scorpio Venus and Mars, you can tell from this you’re likely to attract Pluto dominants, Taurus Risings, and/or people with 8th house stelliums.

Your Midheaven can also work here for the first attraction! For example, I was instantly attracted to my boyfriend when I first saw him as he was a mystery to me, and as it turns out his Midheaven is the sister of mine. The basic rule for this first sight attraction would be like this:

Opposite signs: Mysterious, wanting to know more, seemingly the same yet different to you

Element match: Similar, you feel they are like you in some way

Compatible elements: You seem to appreciate them for who they appear to be, but know you are not one in the same

Midheaven ruled by same planet: You seem so different, but there is a similar energy within you

You can obviously attract and be attracted to any Midheaven, but these matches would stand out for the purposes of this post

Encourage Positivity

You can do this when you are in need of calming yourself or relieving anxiety, or when you need to reduce negativity and/or promote positivity at any time in your life.

you will need:

matches

your favorite incense

a yellow, orange or white candle

citrine, sunstone, yellow aventurine, or clear quartz (crystals for positivity)

amethyst, black tourmaline, turquoise, etc (crystals for emotional protection)

In the morning, find a quiet place and meditate, if you desire. Sit outside or inside, that is up to you. Sit on the ground and make yourself comfortable. Breathe deeply and slowly, try to let go of any weariness or negativity you’re feeling. You can hold the crystals in your hands, or just place them on the ground close to you. Use as many as you like.

Now, light the candle and the incense, and focus on the soothing smell of the incense and the hypnotic flame of the candle. Do not look away from the candle until you’re fully relaxed (this can take anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes, take as much time as you need). When you are ready say,

Pull out the energy within me which is sleeping Slow moving on a task is cause for weeping My energy and intellect is under a slow spell Remove the rock from under which it dwells

Visualize negative energy leaving you and positive energy coming up from within you and surrounding you. If you wish, you can visualize yourself surrounded by an energy shield, to protect you from negative energy and negative emotions from others. Blow out the candles when you are ready.

mercury retrograde means youre going to put your foot in your mouth if you arent careful. choose your words and when you use them with caution.

jupiter retrograde means you are going to feel like everyday is friday the 13th. roll with the punches and keep the big picture in mind.

venus retrograde means romance and relationships in general will be a giant mess for you. block people you know arent good for you and take care in forming any new connections.

saturn retrograde means that any task will feel impossible to finish once you start. stay committed and keep your end goals in mind.

How to: Planets in Houses

~ Types of Divination ~

There are countless types of divination, so this list is by no means comprehensive, (actually it’s quite short) but it should help with the main methods! :D

Scrying ~

A form of divination in which you enter a trance-like state, gaze into a medium, and look for signs or symbols. Common mediums include black mirrors, fire, water, smoke, and tiles.

Cartomancy ~

Divination done using cards of sorts. The images/words/etc. hold meanings that you can interpret. Methods of cartomancy are: Tarot reading, oracle card reading, regular playing card reading, and even the reading of Pokemon cards. Symbolism/interpretation is the main importance with cartomancy.

Pendulum Dowsing ~

A form of divination in which you use a pendant-like tool called a pendulum. It has a weighted end, and a place to hold it near the top. The answer to your question is determined by the way it swings. The answers vary from the traditional yes/no/maybe/DWA, to words/letters/numbers, all depending on the board/chart you might use.

Lithomancy ~

Lithomancy is a method of divination in which crystals are cast out on a circular board. Their arrangements are interpreted, and the light reflecting off of them is also taken into account. These are best to buy in sets/kits, since it can be a bit difficult to create one for yourself.

Rune Reading ~

This form of divination involves a few different methods. Some diviners cast the runes, others pull them from a bag, and even still there are those who lay them all out and choose one that feels the best for the current situation (without looking). It is a Norse system and involves special symbols with meanings you can use to interpret the reading.

Nephelomancy ~

A similar type of divination to scrying, nephelomancy involves cloud gazing to interpret signs, symbols, and omens. It’s something that can be done at pretty much any time, as long as the sky is visible. I wrote a detailed post on it, linked on my masterpost, which is at the end of this list.

Tasseography ~

You’ve probably heard of reading tea leaves. Tasseography is the fancy word for that. You go through a process of drinking the tea, turning your cup, and placing it on a plate before reading it in specific directions/paths. There are many ways to do this, but most include using the symbols as omens.

Oneiromancy ~

Oneiromancy is good old fashion dream interpretation. If you had a dream that you know means something, take a look into Oneiromancy. Symbolism is important, and so are your personal associations and experiences.

Stichomancy ~

This is a very old method if divination, through which you use a book to answer a question you have. You can use any book you own and at any time. You ask your question, open the book to a random page, and read what you see. Sometimes the response is straightforward, while other times very vague and confusing.

Graphology ~

Graphology is the study and interpretation of handwriting or scribbles. Automatic writing falls under this category, which is when you allow a spirit/etc. to use you as a tool of communication. Sometimes words/shapes come out as answers.

If you would like to learn more about some of these types of divination, check *this* masterpost! :D

WitchYes’ Flight of Courage spell bottle

So. You need a little boost of courage, a little something to make you feel as if you could conquer the open skies. I have just the thing for you.

(WARNING: This spell is NOT vegan or vegetarian friendly as it contains bones and eggshells. However, these components may be substituted with other things according to personal association.)

YOU WILL NEED: - dried basil (courage) - salt (protection) - eggshells (growth, protection) - bird’s bone (flight, courage) [This can be substituted of course if you are against using animal components in spells or are uncomfortable using bones] I used chicken bones, I did not harm an innocent bird!

Grind everything up and mix them together well. MAKE SURE you seal the bottle with wax.

(Let me know if you did this, and how it turned out!)
