Hot Chocolate Magic

Hot chocolate Magic

Wether someone needs a Hug-in-a-mug, warmth on the soggy days or some symptom relief; Spelled Hot chocolate can be a wonderful way to bring some calm and love into your day. There are a few different things to add to your drink to alter focuses.

Cinnamon for self love

Chili powder for warmth/passion

Chestnut syrup for comfort

Vanilla essence for premoting calm thoughts

Ginger for nausea relief

Mint for fresh starts

Ginger bread syrup/crumbs for increased creativity.

Speculaas spices for happy/nostalgic memories

And if you have it; food safe glitters can be used for colour correspondences or to add some “sparkle” in your life.

You can use whipped cream,syrups or other additives to draw sigils for added focus. Pouring over the boiling water/milk will charge these.

I have one large brimmed mug that I use specifically for hot chocolate; either for me or used for someone else.

Mabon Annual Autumn Window Warding 🍂

And Other Mabon Traditions 🍁🌾

Ward your windows each fall to protect your home from negativity throughout the upcoming year.

You Will Need:

Howlite Stones (one for each window you wish to Ward)

Black Obsidian Stones (one for each window you wish to Ward)

For the Window Warding:

Take your stones outside in a basket or satchel and sit on the ground, holding the stones in your hands.

Say, “Black and White, Dark and Light, The Summer is done, and Winter comes, guard my home and all who dwell here, keep us safe until this time next year.”

Take the stones out of the basket or satchel and place them on the ground before you. Let them take in the energy of the earth beneath them, and take this time to imbue them with your intentions.

When you feel ready, gather the stones back up into the basket or satchel and take them back inside.

In each window you wish to Ward, place a piece of black obsidian in the left side of your windowsills to banish negativity, and place a piece of howlite in the right side of your windowsill to invite peace and calm into your home.

Afterwards, you may want to cleanse your home to reset the energy of your home for the winter. I also find this is a great time to get some fall cleaning done!

A Detailed Guide to Cleansing Your Tarot Deck

How often should I cleanse my deck and why?

Between every in-depth reading you do: they require a lot of energy and focus and can heavily impact the energy around your deck

When you get a new deck: you don’t know who has handled the deck before you or what energies surrounded it

If someone touches your deck: their energy can be easily transmitted through physical contact (which you could potentially use to your advantage if you’re reading for them)

When you see multiple cards from a recent previous reading appear in your current reading: a sign that the energies of the people you are reading for are becoming muddled

At different times of the year - equinoxes, full moons, first day of a season: routine cleansing is a great way to keep your cards in good shape

If you haven’t used it in a while: old, built up energies need to be cleared to help “wake up” your deck after it’s been sitting unused

How can I clean my deck?

With a cleansing sigil: place the deck on top to the sigil and write “Negative energy” or “Old energy” for removal

Passing through some sage smoke: sage is a great all around cleanser!

Shuffling while focusing on cleansing: shuffling reorganizes the cards and is a quick method for cleansing in between consecutive readings

Place a clear quartz on top: quartz, especially when charged with light from a full moon, absorbs negative and foreign energy really well

With the light of a full moon: the full moon represents new beginnings and holds strong cleansing power, place on a window sill overnight 

Meditation with a focus on cleansing: sit near or hold your deck, close your eyes, focus on your breathing (count your inhale as 1, exhale 2, inhale 3, etc until 30), then imagine a white, cleansing light enveloping your deck

Make a salt circle around your deck: can get kind of messy, but the salt will absorb negative energy, make sure to dispose of it after!

Put the cards in order (by suit, element, number, or astrology): sorting your deck will give it a fresh start, make sure all the cards are upright as well!

Knock three times: another quick way to cleanse or “wake up” your deck, especially great for after you haven’t used your deck in a while
