Flowers in Magic: Post 2

Neither religion nor a scientific idea, magic is said to be a supernatural belief and practice. Instead, it is said to be using or possessing supernatural abilities to cause baffling occurrences.

Some ideas of magic are just for fun, and magicians use optical illusions to trick the mind of the audience. In the meantime, some magic is thought to be a superpower that can be found in objects or used in witchcraft to bring about a desired outcome.

We are all aware that various flowers have distinct meanings and symbols. However, did you know that some flowers are also said to possess potent magical properties?

The following are some flowers that, over the course of time, have captivated our imaginations and are said to possess magic and power.

Different Types of Flowers and their meanings.

Flowers! Let’s talk about what they stand for and what you can use them for in magic. This will be a multiple part posting today because there is a lot of information to share with you. I will even teach you how to make a cleansing bath and the different types of spiritual baths today.

What is Freya’s Day? Or is it Frigg’s Day?

Have you ever wondered about the days of the week and where their names came from? What did they originally stand for? And what do they mean for many of us today?
There is much debate as to which goddess the day is for. Is it for Freya, is it for Frigg? Ultimately it is for the individual who practices to choose for themselves, which goddess to honor or what it represents as a whole. To help you decide, we will look at some different origins and thoughts from across the years.

Let’s make a Money Bowl

Let’s make a money bowl to start off the New Year! With the new year here my only resolution has been to post more and embrace my practice out in the open more. So with this in mind I want to share with you all a few things I am going to start using more in my daily practice. From Poppets, to Cinnamon Rituals on the 1st of the month, to other simple DIY things you can do on your own. Simmer Pots, Money Bowls, and anointing oils, there are so many things for me to share with you all.

Let’s Talk about Poppets

A poppet can be as simple or as elaborate as you like — it all depends on how much time and effort you want to put into it. You can construct one out of just about any material — cloth, clay, wood, wax. Use your imagination! In some magical traditions, it’s believed that the more work you put into it, and the more complex it is, the stronger your link will be to your goal. Because a poppet is a device for sympathetic magic, all of its components will be symbols of what it is you hope to achieve.

You can do your poppet-making as part of the working itself, or it can be made ahead of time so you can use the poppet later on. Which method you choose is really up to you.

Looking back & inward.

Looking back through memories that Facebook had to share with me, it dawned on me just how much growth that post presented in one little moment. As I examined that post, I wanted to share with you what made me reflect on so profoundly.

Introducing: Where the Belladonna Grows, my newest Novel

You may or may not know that I am not just a blogger, but I am also a fictional writer. I am in the process of developing several different novels.

It is always a process, as an artists, and a writer to constantly better one’s self at a craft. This one is a pleasure to work on an research the various different aspects of it. Below I will include the prologue that I just finished for your reading pleasure. I hope that it drums up some interests for you all, and prompts you to want to read more once I have finished it

Teas for reducing stress and anxiety

One of my “things” that I do to help my body reduce stress and anxiety is that I drink teas, I also drink teas to help reduce inflammation, help with sleep, and with pain. Teas as I have talked about before are an amazing way to boost your health and promote healing. But that is not all they can do 😉 No, teas are a wonderful addition for any herbalist and for practices with divination, healing, and centering. The possibilities are endless with a good tea. I do make some teas that we offer to people, but only by request these days. However, I thought that I might take a moment and share some recipes with you, that you can add into your own practice or just your kitchen.
