Hey guys!
Sorry for being gone for so long but unfortunately I cant come back just yet. I'll prepare a big post for when I do, so please dont think I'm giving up on this blog. It won't be too long maybe just a couple more weeks, I'll definitely be back.
It's just been a long year, and my mental health is slowly declining and has now taken a nose dive with my friend in hospital. I dont feel like myself and I havent for awhile. I cannot share my witchcraft while feeling so down, instead I'll be practicing on my own as I try to heal.
Maybe I'll write about it, I dont know. I know theres 2,000 of you expecting good posts and such but right now I just want to curl up and sleep. Please stay safe everyone, I love you all so much. You're my siblings of the world and I am so proud of you. Goodnight for now 💕

Thank you for the addition @upsettinglycoldsoup (also I love the name)
what should i do if i find it difficult to remember what all the different tarot cards mean? is there anything wrong with having notes because i feel kind of stupid about it
Brilliant Question my friend. There is absolutely nothing wrong with not being able to remember some of the cards since there are so many. Maybe one day you’ll be able to remember them off the bat but it will take time. I personally have a little notebook where I write down all the meanings of my deck and the associations for each. I have it out at all of my readings and I constantly refer to it for notes. Nobody could be able to instantly remember all the cards, and if you ask any practicer I promise they will say that they’ve had to refer to writing to help remember. Don’t feel stupid for being human, you’re doing great and I’m so proud of you!

Aromatherapy (Part Two)
Specific Areas of Healing
The following will address certain areas of healing and the best scents and oils to help you. This being said these are ASSISTS, if you are suffering from a condition these may help but you should never neglect professional medication prescribed by doctors. For a good portion of my life I’ve suffered from Insomnia, lavender and citrus oils helped for awhile but as time grew on and my condition got worse I had to get prescribed Melatonin. It never makes you less of a witch to use prescribed or un-prescribed medication.
“When you start working with essential oils to address health issues, begin with just one symptom or issue you would like to heal. Focusing on that, limit your selection to only a few essential oils. Once you have all the basics down, you can create your own wonderful oil blends and also determine which are best used as perfumes, in bath salts, or added to melted candle wax at the base of a candle (never add while the candle is lit).” - The Good Witch’s Guide by Shawn Robbins and Charity Bedell
Stress
Several essential oils can be effective for relieving stress. Stress often has side effects, including anxiety, upset stomach, and rapid breathing. One essential oil that works well on stress and anxiety is peppermint. It relaxes the mind and body and helps with digestion. Lavender is another good choice, as it relaxes muscles and the vapors can help regulate breathing.
Pain and Muscle Tension
Muscle tension is something many of us deal with. When using essential oils for pain relief from muscle tension, the best approach is to create a massage oil to rub into the affected area. If you are trying to relax muscles and ease pain, allspice is an excellent choice. Geranium essential oil is a good alternative - it reduces inflammation and muscle tension and provides stress relief.
Chest Congestion
The common cold, the flu, and seasonal allergies can all result in chest congestion, so this ailment can happen at any time of year. To use essential oils to relieve chest congestion, apply a few drops of diluted oil across the chest and massage them into the skin. The best oil for congestion relief is eucalyptus oil, which can break up congestion from coughs, colds, flu and allergies and helps restore proper breathing. Thyme oil is another excellent choice for relieving congestion.
Concentration and Focus
Everyone sometimes has difficulties with concentration and focus. This can result from a lack of sleep, stress, anxiety, depression, or a reaction to life events. To use essential oils for help with focus and concentration, apply a few drops to the temples, middle of the forehead, and base of the neck. Rosemary is an excellent oil when you need to focus intently or commit things to memory. Spearmint helps relax and calm the mind, which promotes mental clarity.
Fatigue
Many people feel exhausted at the end of the day even if they think they’re getting enough sleep. The best way to use essential oils for issues related to energy and fatigue is to apply a few drops to your wrists and rub them in. Lemon or lime oil work great here. Both of them uplift mood, relieve fatigue, and provide mental clarity and focus. Lemon also helps balance the nervous system.
Insomnia
Many people just can’t seem to fall asleep. Apply a few drops of essential oil to your forehead and at the base of the neck and see if the soothing scents relax your mind and body. Lemon balm is an excellent oil for this, as it addresses anxiety and stress and promotes restful sleep. Ylang-ylang oil can also help you sleep, and it relieves muscle pain that may be getting in the way of a good night’s sleep.
Anxiety
This is a horrible issue that involves the physical and mental body. Physical symptoms many include anxiety or panic attacks, asthma attacks, feelings of paralysis, and tremors. Nonphysical symptoms many include clouded thoughts, racing mind, feelings of confusion, and a sense of being disconnected. To treat anxiety with essential oils, apply one drop each to the forehead, base of the neck, wrists, and along the collarbone or upper chest. Chamomile, lavender, and lemon balm are excellent oils for relieving anxiety and relaxing the body.
Crafting Your Own Oil Blends
“The thing to remember about essential oils is that a little goes a long way. They are concentrated forms of the essence of plants, so you need very little to accomplish much. Less is more! One undiluted bottle of an essential oil should allow you to create several blends and treatments.
You don't need much in the way of supplies to make your own essential oil blends. You need a mason jar with a lid, a carrier oil, and essential oils. Vitamin E oil can also be added to many blends as a stabilizer and preservative. If you do not have all the essential oils for a particular remedy, you can substitute herbs. When making oil blends with essential herbs and oils, additional supplies you will need include a scale, herbs, a grinder, and cheesecloth.
As before, when you are making your essential oils, use 1/8 cups (30ml) of carrier oil to 10 drops of essential oil. When adding herbs, use 1/2 a cup (120ml) of carrier oil instead of the 1/8 cups. The additional oil is there to absorb the scent and natural oils of the dried herbs.
Making oil blends is fairly simple. Start by cleaning your mason jar inside and out. If using, put the weighed and ground herbal ingredients into the jar. Add half the carrier oil. Next, add the essential oils. Add the remaining carrier oil. Cover the jar with a lid, shake the jar twice daily. After four weeks, strain a small portion of the oil into a small glass to test the scent. If it has the aroma you were trying for, transfer the strained test oil into a new mason jar, and then strain the rest of the oil into the new jar. If it’s not as strong as you would like, return the strained portion of the oil to the original jar. Add a few more drops of each essential oil. Shake twice daily. Wait two more weeks, and repeat the strain test.

Super helpful and thorough!
Dream Journals and Dream Work
What are Dream Journals?
Dream Journals are notebooks or journals that contain information recorded about one’s sleep patterns and dreams. These dreams recorded can be everything from simple dreams, to dream interpretations, to nightmares, to daydreams/waking dreams and self reflections on one’s own dreams. To a witch who does dream work, they are also important record keeping books used to write down own’s notes on dream divination, astral travel, dream walking, visions, lucid dreaming, spells and their effects.
What can I put in my Dream Journal?
All sorts of things! But some suggestions on what to put in it:
Dream Records
Dream Interpretations
Your nightly routines
Sleep records
How you feel before and after going to bed
Nightmares and the effects of them
Correspondences in Dream Work/Dream Magic
Crystals, herbs, incense, colors, animals, etc
Astral Travel notes and experiences
Daydreams you have and how they make you feel
Memorable dreams you had years ago that you still remember and why you may still recall them
Illustrations and doodles from daydreams or dreams
Images of things that keep reappearing in your dreams
Dream Divination predictions and results
“Deja vu” events that happen that relate to a dream you had
Tea and potion recipes for sleep or dreams
Meditation exercises/breathing exercises
Favorite types of dreams (ie: flying dreams)
Notes on recurring dreams or nightmares
Information on nocturnal creatures/beings that can effect or enter dreams
Perhaps your own experiences with them
Sleep spells and dream spells
Notes on said spells
Dream encounters with deities and entities
Lucid Dreaming notes
Conditions in which you are sleeping in that night
Location, stuffed animals, blankets you’re using, number of pillows, if there is light or music/sound, etc
How do I take notes on Dream Spells?
This is a question I get rather often. Dream spells can be more difficult to ‘keep records’ of in a sense that their effects happen when you are asleep rather than your waking life. Well here are some images of how I take notes of my dream spells straight from one of my own Dream Journals.
First, I write down what spell I am using. Here I list the spell, the ingredients in the spell and what they are suppose to contribute to this spell, my intent and things that I feel should also be noted related to the spell. Here I am trying to work on a spell to improve my dream experience and my dream recall as well as see if I can still lucid dream while using this spell. I made note of where I put this crystal sachet and also the food I ate before going to bed.
Immediately the next morning I began notes in my Dream Journal about the dream I had the night before. Here I speak of what I can remember visually and “plot-wise”.
I then recorded how I was when I first woke up. In this case I felt a bit tired though this is most likely due to the fact I slept longer than I usually do and how I did not immediately recall my dream until I had been moving around a bit.
After that I began notes on my spell and how each thing either did or didn’t do its job. I then began dream interpretations in both the sense of how they are interpreted by the book and in some cases how I personally feel about certain things.
After my interpretations had finished I read over them again and made a summary of what the dream most likely meant.
I finished this particular Dream Journal entry with other miscellaneous notes such as what time frame I slept, how I wish to prepare for bed tonight and notes on the spell and some changes to it I am considering after some more trials.
I hope this has been helpful to anyone new to Dream Work and Dream Journals. Treat them as you would a Book of Shadows and a Grimoire, they are a magical tool to help you. They are highly personal, use whatever you wish in them. I personally like using notebooks and mine are rarely super artistic. But make them how you wish to make them, they are an extension of your craft. Good luck and happy witching~

Aromatherapy (Part One)
WARNING: This post addresses Aromatherapy as a healing assistant, you cannot compromise vaccines with scents.
Today we will be looking at Aromatherapy and the magick of scents.
“The sense of smell is arguably the most underestimated sense we have, as it can actually be one of our most powerful healing allies. Aromas can trigger pleasant memories - from the smell of cookies baking in the oven to the scent of a loved one’s perfume to the fragrance of a flower - as well as unpleasant reminiscences. Aromatherapy is the art of using the power of scent to heal the body, mind, and spirit.
Aromatherapy and the use of scent in healing rituals, magick, and spirituality is not a new thing. Humans have always enjoyed the scent of flowers and have long observed the different effects plant odors have on the human mind and body. In the ancient world, the use of the aromatic properties of herbs in healing, magick, and ritual was well known. The ancients understood the connection between the mind and body in health, happiness, and well-being. The ancient Egyptians honored their gods using a variety of incenses and oils, the preparations of which were very ritualized and held deep spiritual meaning. Native American peoples used herbs for spiritual purposes as well as for healing and health. Many cultures still use fragrant herbs in healing rituals and to honor the dead, the spirits of nature, and the divine.
Today, the practice of aromatherapy is once again widespread, and the use of scented candles, bath salts, and potpourris have become particularly popular. Health-food stores carry lines of essential oils and oil blends. Even department stores carry synthetic oils and scented candles. Aromatherapy is accessible to everyone, and it is an effective and simple way to make positive changes to your health in mind, body, and spirit” -The Good Witch’s Guide by Shawn Robbins and Charity Bedell
Essential Oils
The simplest way to work with aromatherapy is by using individual essential oils. The oils are unique, and many of them have multiple uses. By learning the different uses of essential oil, you can focus your work on the oils that have the most beneficial effect on your health. While working with individual essential oils, you will discover that some are too strong for you, and others may even produce a negative reaction.

How To Become A Witch
The following will address how I would teach people to activate their witchy sides. There are of course other methods and different strategies. This post is very small and I will probably write a better one eventually but right now I need a nap.
The First Steps
1. Interest and What You Want to Learn
To become a witch all you have to have is intent and interest!
There are so many different aspects of witchcraft and even more kinds of witches. You have to find something that you love and enjoy doing and practicing. The term “baby witch” is a modernized name for beginner witches, finding posts with these tags are good for beginners. You DO NOT want to dive headfirst into experienced witchcraft without first developing an understanding of what you’re dealing with. You risk offending your deities, the universe or the nature that surrounds you.
This being said there are a LOT of “witch” posts that are outright wrong, you do not want to get guidance from a witch who has put little to no research into what they’re teaching. So ALWAYS check what you’re reading especially in relation to potion brewing, you NEVER want to ingest poisonous plants. In addition to fact checking always be weary of blood magick, practices like these do more than harm your physical body, they hurt your mentality and they can hurt the people around you. If you are using blood or any other bodily fluid, because some people will do it despite the warnings, always sanitize the area and correctly treat the wound.
There are also a large range of books that are directed at witches or plants for green witches. The books that I currently have in my possession are “The Good Witch’s Guide” by Shawn Robbins and Charity Bedell and “The Languages of Flowers” by Mandy Kirkby. I have downloaded “The Green Witch” by Arin Murphy-Hiscock and “Moon Spells” by Diane Ahlquist. Best of luck in your adventures!
Resources;
(Different Kinds of Witches)
(Non Religious Witchcraft)
2. Information and Research
By finding this post you’ve already taken the first step. Tumblr has a massive platform for all different forms of witchcraft, you can find some on Instagram and YouTube but I’ve never found them as accessible due to the misinterpretation of witchcraft for views. This section ties in with the first one but I felt that it deserved it’s own section as I feel that the research side of witchcraft never ends, there are always new things to learn and different perspectives to see so never limit yourself on what you want to know.
Resources;
(A Common Informational Witch Tag)
3. A Book of Shadows or A Book of Mirrors
A Book of Shadows is practically a text book of magick. It can also be called a Grimoire as a Grimoire is a book of magic, although in many cultures, other sacred texts that are not grimoires such as the Bible, have been believed to have supernatural properties intrinsically. In this manner, while all books on magic could be thought of as grimoires, not all magical books should be thought of as grimoires.
A Book of Mirrors can be used to jot all of your thoughts and experiences if you don’t want to include them in your Book of Shadows.

I'm Still Stuck
So unfortunately I'm still stuck way out of town, 3 days away to be exact and I cannot get to my laptop to write up more posts. I had queued enough to last until today because that was when we were scheduled to return home. Unfortunately due to the breaking down of my car we had to delay it and I won't get home until Monday. So at the moment I won't be able to do massive posts. I'll write something up so you guys have something to enjoy but I'm so so sorry for this.
Blessed Be,
Circe

Daily Magick
Today we will be looking at Vesuvianite/Idocrase
Vesuvianite Associations
Zodiac - Sagittarius, Capricorn
Element - Earth
Typical colour - Green, brown, yellow, rarely blue or red
Origin - Mt Vesuvius, Italy
Meanings - Higher self, inner security
Vesuvianite brings us closer to the higher realms and provides an easier link to our sense of higher self. It facilitates the seeing and the understanding of things on this earth that have no substance. Psychologically, Vesuvianite (Idocrase) releases feelings of imprisonment and restraint, dissolves anger and alleviates fear and negativity. It helps to create a sense of inner security, opens the mind and stimulates inventiveness and the urge to discover, linking into creativity. Vesuvianite banishes depression and clears negative thought patterns so that the mind can function more clearly.
Physically, Vesuvianite (Idocrase) strengthens the tooth enamel and restores the sense of smell. It also assists in assimilating nutrients from food.
(Note: This being said, if you are suffering from a condition or are in pain please consult a doctor or mental health professional.)

Daily Magick
Today we will be looking Variscite
Variscite Associations
Zodiac - Scorpio, Taurus, Gemini
Typical color - ranges from pale to emerald green
Meanings - Moral Courage, virtue, self-reliance, success, calming, soothing
