This was so cool, if I was this involved with my craft I’d want to do this too! Its so cool to see other people’s rituals. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you a million times for sharing your private circle with us! It was an amazingly comforting and centering time and space. And it was awesome to see reflections of my own practices in what you did. I found comfort in seeing you walk thru the steps I usually find myself doing. Sometimes I wonder if I am witchy enough, magical enough, not theatrical enough, but it is centering and helps me and is enough for me. Thank you again. This was a beautiful moment and I missed my sacred space moments that haven’t been coming as often as often used to.
That was fucking amazing holy shit
Thank you for sharing this, so lovely to see! You have a beautiful altar. And i’m glad that i’m not the only one that pulls out 50 reference books while i’m in the middle of it all.
What a priceless privilege it is to witness magic in others practices.
You remind me of someone I know, actually. And this video is awesome- thank you for doing it!
This was lovely to watch! Thank you so much for sharing. You have a gorgeous set-up, and the entire energy of the space and this video is incredibly comforting.
This is pretty straight forward. Donald Trump is once again putting his life above hundreds of thousands of people. Immigrant children in and coming to the U.S. are being separated from their parents and families while their families are being imprisoned. This is a spell specifically to help the children and their families.
What You Need:
Sage(can be replaced with rosemary/incense)
Lavender(Incense is fine)
Pictures of the detention centers/families
Salt
White Candle
A stone you associate as a protection stone(tigers eye, bloodstone, black tourmaline, etc).
A symbol of protection(watchful eye, animal totem(if that’s your culture), Thor’s hammer, etc. something that can be used to protect anyone).
Bonus: If you have a sigil to use that’s great if note Algiz,
Ansuz,
Tiwaz, and Fehu are great protection runes to carve into the candle.
Optional: You can add as much to this spell as you please but keep it around the original intents and purpose.
What To Do:
Hallow the ground your working on(I chose that because I work with Thor you could also cast a circle, bless that four cardinal directions, etc.)
Carve whatever sigil or runes into the white candle and light it.
Clear your mind and close your eyes. Picture a healing, protective, white light surrounding the children and their families in the detention centers and those who are on their way to cross the board/currently attempting.
Send them healing and safe energy.
Light the sage and lavender.
Call upon whatever spirits, deities, or ancestors you work with to help protect the children.
“With a heavy heart, I ask you to protect the immigrant children and ask that no more harm is done to them. I ask that you keep them under your gaze and keep them safe until they are reunited with their families. I ask that their families not be harmed while they are separated and that the children are strong enough to work through the fear.”
Sprinkle salt around all of your protection spell items.
“May the harmful and negative energy directed towards immigrant children and families in the U.S. be cleansed.”
This this THIS. Do this spell and afterwards, calllll your senators
Donate. Get involved. What’s going on in my state is disgusting and heartbreaking. Spells and thoughts and prayers are well and good, but acting on it will help boost the magic you put out into the world.
I’ll be making a post this evening with links and resources to help fight back. Don’t worry bby. 😘
So I got an ask a while back about how I do crystal grids and if I could share that information, so here goes!
Let’s start off with some general knowledge of what a grid is, what it can be used for, and what different parts make up the grid.
What is a crystal grid?
-Simply put, a crystal grid is an arrangement of crystals that helps set, focus, and amplify intentions
What can a grid be used for?
-There are several things you can use a crystal grid for
1. To increase the power of your crystals
2. To cleanse and/or charge your crystals
3. Create protective boundaries
4. Raise the vibration of your space (good for work flow or meditation)
5. To bring in luck, happiness, wealth, love etc. (any intention you can put into a spell, you can put into a crystal grid)
Different Parts of a grid
The Perimeter
–an optional outer ring of stones that are used to protect your grid.
The Desire Stones
–Gather the energy of your stones and send it out into your space
The Way Stones
–Organizes and modifies the energy set by the focus stone
The Focus Stone
–Usually the stone in the center of the grid, sets your intentions
Grid Layouts
-There are books that tell you the ‘typical’ layouts but honestly I say do whatever feels right for you and fits your purpose!
Now that the technical stuff is out of the way, lets move on to how I personally create my crystal grids!
I like to keep my process pretty intuitive. There are lots of resources that will give you specific steps to follow, and even tell you which types of crystals to use in what part of the grid based on the crystal structure or color. I tend to throw all of that out the window.
Step 1: I pick my intention. This can be anything I would do a spell for, healing, self-love, binding, banishing, bringing in money or luck, and so on.
Step 2: Pick my crystals. I actually pick the crystals before I pick the layout. Sometimes I select crystals based on which properties match with my intention (rose quartz for self love, aventurine for money). Sometimes I just go through my collection and pick the ones that are calling me.
Step 3: Pick my layout. I tend to do a traditional bullseye type layout (Focus stone in the very center, way stones as the middle ring, desire stones as the outer ring). Sometimes I use a spiral method. Those are probably my top two layouts.
Step 4: Place the stones. Again, this is a very intuitive process. I tend to use a point for the focus stone, and then lay way stones in a cross like shape around it (i.e. one directly above, one directly below, one to the right, one to the left) filling in with a few other way stones if I feel like it. I then place the desire stones in a circle around the whole thing, alternating stones (If I have multiple types of stone for the desire stones). If I put up a barrier it also goes in a circle around the whole thing.
Step 5: In my process, the grid is activated once the stones are all in place. Sometimes I’ll fuss and shift stones around until they make a pleasing design, so once I’m done, the grid is activated. I then leave it up as long as I please!
Please stop identifying yourself as a bruja. You may think it is just the Spanish translation of witch but that isn’t the whole case. There are cultural significances to brujeria and hechiceria. You do not get to reclaim and use our word for yourself.
