I Think If Studying The Occult Has Improved Any Element Of My Life, It Is My Wonder At Ordinary Things.

I think if studying the occult has improved any element of my life, it is my wonder at ordinary things. I love being able to see a rock or a plant and know the properties that generations of scientists and philosophers have attached to them. It's a dove, it's a nature Spirit, it's an omen of peace, it's a psychopomp, it is associated with the astral intelligences of the air and Venus and Aries and its entrails can be read to know where to build a settlement. But is also just a pigeon, and pigeons a lovely to see.

nature witch tip🪵🌱

Wood barks/chippings promotes protection (esp from an oak tree!)

i used the skin of a fallen branch for this, i used the wood for other witchy projects, and saved the skin for my jars and mesh bags!

i used it for car protection; in a mesh bag i placed:

wood bark and chippings

rosemary

chamomile flowers (i used dried flowers)

a bay leaf with my chosen rune of protection

cloves

hanged it up my rearview mirror, then cleansed my car (before and after) and visualized white energy flowing around inside and outside the car

Lately there was a level 4 Hurricane here in Florida, tried my best to physically protect my home (and it’s energy too).

Just did a grocery run yesterday, i was nervous to see my car with water damage, but it was safe 🥹 no flooding, no water that got in my engine 🥹 and the mesh bag hanging still on my rearview mirror.

i hope this tip can help my fellow witches, (and for our baby witches too🥹)

Everyone say thank you american indigenous people for cultivating corn, potatoes, peppers, tomatoes, cacao, pumpkin, squash, and anything i missed. Makes life more meaningful globally
