Birthday Wishes Ritual

Which of your wishes will come true?

I am reposting this in honor of my own birthday season. Perform it any time within the 24 hours of your birthday. Which means if you were born on February 14th at 2:00 AM, ensure you finish it by February 15th at 1:59 AM.

STEP 1: Acquire five candles.

Red for love and romance

Pink for beauty and elegance

White for joy and gladness

Green for money and prosperity

Yellow for health and vitality

STEP 2: Prepare your bed.

Place the candles on your headboard shelf. If you do not have one, put your nightstand behind your bed. The candles have to hover over your head.

STEP 3: Light the candles.

If what the pink candle represents is what matters most to you, light it first. If the white candle comes second, light that afterwards. Always use the wick of the previous candle to light the next. Do all this as you sit on your bed.

STEP 4: Speak your desires.

Voice out your wishes one by one, in the same order that you lit the candles. 

Pink: “May I bloom this year into the prettiest I can be.”

White: “May sadness finally leave my soul in my 19th year.”

Red: “May love at last find me in these 12 months ahead.”

Let every wish be short enough that you can say it in one breath.

STEP 5: Sleep for three hours.

Set an alarm, if needed. To close your eyes is to open your soul. Let the powers that be which are around you now, look into the depths of your being and gaze upon your fate. So that they may decide which of your wishes can be granted and which are simply not meant to be.

STEP 6: Watch the lights.

Once three hours have passed, sit up on your bed and look at the candles above your head.

The one whose light burns the highest is that which is pledged to come true.

The one whose light is dancing the merriest is already on its way to you.

Any candles whose light is remarkably still, are wishes that are not up to the divine but up to you.

The shortest candle, the one that burned the fastest, is the wish that cannot this year be granted.

Any candles whose lights burned out cannot be granted not just this year but for the foreseeable future ahead.

STEP 7: Blow out the candles.

After you commit to mind the given information, thank the powers that be for the revelation.

Never use the candles again for another ritual. But you may use them for purposes that are mundane or banal.

this one’s great to help realign yourself when you’re just feeling a bit off, or if you feel like you’ve picked up other people’s energy, etc

what you’ll need;

white candle (birthday, tea light, whatever!)

sugar

honey

rosemary

lemon

glass of drinking water

☁️ in front of a fire safe bowl/whatever place your glass of drinking water. now lay a hefty pile of sugar into your bowl, you need enough to hold your candle upright, make sure to place it in the center of your sugar. going clockwise, add your honey in three circles around your candle. then take your rosemary (if it’s whole crumble it in your palm, if it’s powdered dw) now sprinkle it clockwise on top of and slightly around the outside edge of your honey circle, making three more circles. take your lemon and cut it in half, put one half in front of your candle next to the glass and begin to charge it with your intentions as you complete the spell. gently squeeze the lemon juice around the candle clockwise again like everything else until it’s given up most of its juice, make sure you’re working your intentions into everything as you do this, now light your candle. with the second half of the lemon slowly and gently squeeze most or all of its juice into your cup of water that’s been charging in front of the candle. work your intentions in as you do and drink up while you let your candle go out <3

Peaceful Release Spell

A lot of us have been in a position where we need to part with someone, but still want the best for them. Maybe they're an ex who you can't stop thinking about but still wish them the best, or a friend who you've forgiven but aren't willing to invite back into your life.

If you're finding yourself in a position like this, and setting boundaries with them isn't working the way you wish it would, you may want to try this beginner-friendly, easy bay leaf peaceful release spell.

What you will need:

A bay leaf (For setting intentions)

A bit of apple (Healing, Friendship, Love)

A pen/marker

A tall place with a decent breeze

How to cast:

Before you leave your home, write their name on the bay leaf and cleanse your ingredients as well as yourself. Prepare yourself for setting boundaries and understand that you're doing what is best for you.

Go to a tall place on a windy day, and set your intention to peacefully release the person. You'll want this place to be windy and high enough so that the bay leaf will be carried far away from you when you toss it. The further it goes, the more effective the results.

After setting your intentions, take a bit of your apple and gently rub a bit of apple juice onto the ends of the bay leaf. Apples can help manifest healing, and they also invoke feelings of friendship and care - this will assure the spell is cast in a friendly manner.

Stand a safe distance from the edge, and gently toss the bay leaf into the wind. Watch it whisk away, and try to imagine it carrying away your desire to stay in touch with them. Say your goodbyes.

Just like that, you've performed a spell that will help encourage you to release someone from your life with nothing but the best intentions for them. It's a safe, easy spell; one that I've used several times myself.

As always, be safe with your practicing, and make sure you're working with cleansed ingredients and space. Blessed be everyone.

Tips and Commissions for a struggling witch: Ko-Fi

Interesting altar ideas:

1.Decorate the walls with pictures.

These could be pictures of your deities,images that make you feel witchy,pictures that remind you of your craft,pictures of your favorite witchy characters or just pictures that make you feel calm.

2.Make a playlist to listen to at your altar.

This one is pretty fun,personally I love music so making an altar playlist will hopefully help me spend more time there.Remember to pick songs you really like and are good for just sitting at your altar,charging items,spells and just general witch stuff.This is also great for traveling witchcraft.

3.Add an item that you like.

It could be your childhood stuffed bear or a bracelet that you got for Valentines day.Adding an item that you like will help connect you to your altar.

4.Put all your altar stuff in a box.

I think this one is a great idea.You can put all your altar stuff in a box and assemble your altar every time you need to.This one is great for traveling or broom closet witches.

5.Make your room an altar!

Again,a great one for broom closet witches or witches who like having a million altars(hi!).Use your door as a protection altar,your mirror as a self-love altar,your bedside table as an altar for relaxation and sleep,your windowsill as a green witchcraft altar.The possibilities are endless!
