I have been working with Hawthorn the past few months and am very excited to share how it has helped me. In this article I will cover 21 ways you can use hawthorn for protection and love spells. In addition, I will give you some recipes and step by step spells, deities to honor, and pagan family rituals. And as a bonus, how to grow hawthorn or respectfully forage it in nature.
Have you ever heard a friend talking about the healing properties of her prized rose quartz? Perhaps you've seen more and more crystal shops popping up near you and have found yourself asking why people are so interested in these precious stones.
If this is true, you've come to the right place. Here, we will take a deeper look into why crystals are valuable tools for pagans and how to use them in your day-to-day life.
Bats are one of those animals that people either love or instinctively flinch from. For pagans and witches, we tend to land firmly in the "love" category - and for good reason. Bats have a rich spiritual symbolism among pagan cultures worldwide. If a bat has been showing up in your life — physically, in dreams, or as a recurring symbol - it's worth understanding what this animal has to say.
Dandelions symbolize fertility, growth, transformation, and sending messages. Dandelions are easy to find, completely edible, and very nutritious. Dandelion magic is old and an established part of our culture. Ask any young child what happens when you blow on a seeded dandelion. You make a wish!
Have you ever considered incorporating numerology into your practice but were unsure how to begin? Numerology is the knowledge and understanding that all numbers have significance.
Most practicing pagans understand the significance of the day of the week, the time of the day, the phase of the moon, and various colors.
So why wouldn't you want to also incorporate the significance of individual numbers into your practice?
Crystals are significant tools for spellwork, rituals, ceremonies, meditation, protection, and healing. As a natural element from Mother Earth, they have an energy all their own.
Here are my top ten picks for the ten most essential crystals for pagans: Clear quartz, dalmatian, citrine, green aventurine, aquamarine, amethyst, rose quartz, black obsidian, tiger’s eye, and my personal favorite turquoise.
Choosing the correct candle colors is essential in witchcraft. Candles are a standard tool used in rituals and spells.
Like all things in magic and witchcraft, the details matter. Everything has symbolism. Understanding color representation helps witches learn how to concentrate their own energy on a task.
The four pagan elements that make up the world are earth, water, air, and fire. They correspond quite well with the four states of matter (solid, liquid, gas, plasma).
Not only are the elements a major aspect of paganism and magic in general, but they're also a beautiful way to metaphorically understand our universe.
Horary astrology is the consultation of an astrological chart made for the moment a particular question is asked. The questioner must formulate the question honestly, sincerely, and precisely to obtain an answer. The pattern of the heavens reflected on Earth in the form of the chart shows the truth.
Runes are a popular form of divination that helps us to communicate and seek guidance from the gods. We are most familiar with Germanic runes but the Greek alphabet can also be used for divination.
With its growing popularity, Greek Alphabet Divination is steadily gaining traction as a popular method of communicating with the gods.
Most of the time as witches we do not focus enough on our self-care. I know what you are thinking, “I do self-care all of the time!”
Are you really doing enough?
Not only should you be doing the self-care routine you usually do, whether that be skincare, a bath, reading a book, or whatever else you like to do; you need to be incorporating it into your spell work as well.
