Khronos & Kronos

(AKA Chronos & Cronus/Saturn) 

Although these two deities are separate beings, they are very similar in most aspects, so I decided to make a post designed for both of them! 

Small devotional acts.

Wake up early - enjoy the dawn.

Schedule your activities.

Buy a new time-keeping device.

Listen to slow or fast paced music.

Wander around stores with no particular goal in mind.

Be ruthless, but wise, in getting what you want. 

Watch the clock as it ticks.

Embrace the moments where you’re stuck with nothing to do.

Go to bed and wake up at a regular time.

Play a game that has a time limit.

Make/buy a sundial. 

Watch timelapse videos.

Take a long bath.

Don’t take shit from abusive/cruel power figures.

Get an hourglass.

Learn the history of time-keeping in different cultures - it may go back further than you think!

Hang out in liminal places, like a train station or waiting area.

Take what you want.

Either have an abundance of time pieces or none in your room, whichever feels best to you!

Go for long drives, where everything starts to feel blurry. 

 Meditate. Find timelessness.

Please don’t eat your children.

PRACTICE LOVING YOURSELF.

Many, many, many other things not said here.

Lol tfw my gf and i jokingly snapped our fingers and demanded rain (bc we rarely get it) and later that night we got a thunderstorm

[proxybeach]

trying to reorganize my life and also my altar (my... secret altar lol) since my prior one exploded during a period of low mental health.

It felt sooo good to just burn a white candle and cleanse my crystals. I’ve been super off kilter and sick but it’s nice to feel a tad better.

Magickal Folk Names for Herbs

Having knowledge of herbs and plants (either magically or medicinally) during the Middle Ages, often was reason enough to accuse a woman of being a “witch,” so there is no doubt some of the country folk at the time took these herbal folk names literal.  Chances are, these names were used merely as descriptors to help remember them easier.  Most plants were given names descriptive of their uses and others were given names for something they generally resembled. Spells written by witches in ancient times were often written with such descriptors, which personally i believe to be a form of secret coding.

Here is a small list of “witchy” herb names (most of these are already floating around the community) that you can use in your craft when you create your spells.  This list could be a great addition to any Grimoire and i hope you find them as useful as i do.

Enjoy ~~~  Cannawitch

10 Crystals For Empaths

Crystals have been used for thousands of years to protect and enhance personal vitality. They have the ability to focus energy and generate minute electrical currents that interact with the currents in the human body and environment. Crystals are an amazing way to cleanse, amplify, and protect one’s energy.

As a highly sensitive empath, I absorb energy from everything. Not only am I affected by the emotions and attitudes of other people, but I’m extremely sensitive to things like geopathic stress and electromagnetic stress. This often leads to exhaustion, irritability, and overwhelm. 

Geopathic stress: Stress created by electromagnetic radiation, ley lines, and underground water. It’s also present in “sick building syndrome”. Injurious to health, it can affect the immune system as well as the body’s innate psychic protection and may attract ghosts or hold impressions of previous events.

Electromagnetic stress: Disharmony caused by the subtle emanations of electrical, microwave, computer, phone and radio frequencies, as well as power lines.

The following list features 10 of my favorite crystals that have been the most beneficial in managing sensitivities and raising my vibration:

Labradorite 

Known as one of the most protective stones, labradorite creates an interface around the aura that filters out energies that are not beneficial and enhances spiritual connection. It allows one to be aware of other’s feelings and emotions without being overwhelmed by them. Labradorite enhances psychic abilities, aligns physical and subtle bodies, and strengthens the aura.

Tip: If you’re prone to nightmares and restless sleep, try holding a labradorite palm stone at bedtime. I sleep with one every night and it has helped me immensely. Just remember to cleanse it in between uses!  

Stones with similar vibrational qualities: rainbow moonstone, black moonstone, spectrolite

Celestine

Also known as celestite, this high vibrational stone links one to higher realms and stimulates spiritual insights. It facilitates inner peace, helps to disperse anxieties and calm the emotions while promoting clarity of mind. This beautiful crystal heals the aura, assists in conflict resolution, and helps maintain a harmonious atmosphere in times of stress. 

Tip: Try meditating with one of these stones and record any insights you might have in a journal afterwards. I’ve been amazed at some of the profound breakthroughs I’ve had while spending time with this amazing crystal.

Stones with similar vibrational qualities: blue lace agate, angelite, phantom quartz, apophyllite 

Lithium Quartz 

This variety of quartz is a natural antidepressant. Its powerful healing energies gently lift the conditions underlying the depression to the surface, neutralizing ancient anger and grief. It can reach back into past lives to dissolve the roots of emotional dis-ease that is pervading the present life. Lithium quartz is an excellent cleanser for the body’s energy centers and is extremely useful as a healer for plants and animals.

Tip: If feeling lethargic or low on energy, carry a small lithium quartz point with you in your pocket. Lithium quartz can function like an emotional battery for those that are sensitive to its vibration. 

Stones with similar vibrational qualities: quartz with hematite, elestial quartz, vanadinite, zeolite 

Black Tourmaline

Black tourmaline, also known as schorl; protects agains cell phones, electromagnetic smog, radiation, ill wishing, and negative energies of all kinds. Black tourmaline is the most effective block to psychic attack and is extremely efficient at absorbing negative energy. It helps one adopt a positive attitude regardless of the circumstances.

Tip: Black tourmaline is super effective as a gem elixir that can be added to cleansing sprays and used to purify the aura. 

Stones with similar vibrational qualities: shungite, black kyanite, jet, tourmalinated quartz

Rose Quartz

Known as the stone of unconditional love and forgiveness, gentle rose quartz opens the heart and transforms negative emotions into positive ones. It’s an excellent stone to use during crisis or trauma, as it quickly brings peace. It transmutes negative emotional conditioning and supports positive affirmations. It purifies and opens the heart at all levels and brings deep inner healing and self-love.

Tip: Wear a rose quartz pendant over your heart to promote self-love, tranquility, and emotional healing. 

Stones with similar vibrational qualities: rhodochrosite, pink danburite, rhodonite, pink petalite, pink kunzite 

Fluorite

A strongly protective stone, especially against electromagnetic and geopathic pollution, as well as psychic attack. Fluorite stabilizes energy and shuts off mental manipulation. This stone cleanses and stabilizes the aura. Fluorite grounds and integrates spiritual energies and assists in dissolving illusions and negative mental patterning. Emotionally, fluorite has a grounding effect. 

Tip: Place a piece of fluorite on a computer or between yourself and the source of electromagnetic fog. 

Stones with similar vibrational qualities: amazonite, green aventurine, bloodstone 

Smoky Quartz

Smoky quartz is one of the most efficient grounding and anchoring stones. It helps alleviate fears, soothes an active mind, and promotes emotional calmness. This protective stone gently neutralizes negative vibrations, absorbs electromagnetic smog, and blocks geopathic stress. Smoky quartz is a powerful antidote to stress and assists in tolerating difficult times while bringing in positive energy. 

Tip: To dispel stress, place a stone in each hand and sit quietly for a few moments. Cleanse the stones thoroughly between uses.

Stones with similar vibrational qualities: hematite, smoky elestial quartz, apache tear obsidian 

Amethyst

Amethyst is an extremely powerful and protective stone with a high vibration. It guards against psychic attack, transmuting energy into love. A natural tranquilizer, amethyst blocks against geopathic stress and negative environmental energies. Its serenity enhances higher states of consciousness. Amethyst has strong healing and cleansing powers, and enhances spiritual awareness. 

Tip: Place a cleansed amethyst point towards you to draw in positive energy, and point one away from you to dispel negative energy. 

Stones with similar vibrational qualities: ametrine, lepidolite, rutilated quartz, lilac kunzite, purple fluorite  

Selenite

Selenite is a high vibrational stone that is said to occupy the space between light and matter. It’s an excellent crystal for repairing and re-energizing the aura. Selenite is a calming stone that instils deep peace and is excellent for spiritual work and meditation. Selenite does not allow outside influences to penetrate. A large piece within the house promotes a peaceful atmosphere. 

Tip: Place other crystals, talismans, and pendants on a piece of selenite overnight for cleansing. 

Stones with similar vibrational qualities: dessert rose selenite, peach moonstone, himalayan rock salt

Carnelian

An excellent stone for grounding one in present reality, carnelian is one of the oldest known healing stones. It energizes and restores vitality to the immune system. Carnelian promotes positive life choices and immense motivation, and assists one in trusting perceptions. This is a useful stone for overcoming negative emotional or mental conditioning. It calms anger and assists in banishing emotional negativity, while sharpening concentration. Mentally, carnelian improves analytic abilities and clarifies perception. 

Tip: Carnelian placed near the front door of a home invokes protection and invites abundance.

Stones with similar vibrational qualities: citrine, tigers eye, golden calcite, orange-brown selenite, amber  

I hope you find these crystals as beneficial as I do. Enjoy!

I thought I wouldn’t want my crystals over summer (I’m interning out of town for a few months) but turns out I did.. of course. Since we stopped by my hometown - and the location of my favorite crystal store ( Planet Earth Rising if you’re in central CA) - I picked up some unique, lovely stones. Tourmalined Quartz - healing, higher consciousness Apatite - intellect, self expression, communication, balance, clairvoyance Tangerine Quartz - passion, moving forward (esp from trauma) Fluorite Octet - healing, concentration, compassion, higher consciousness Eudialyte - life force, emotional healing I kind of went with my intuition but looking at it, this is an excellent set for job and personal growth!! I’m very excited!

This series is a collection of my personal (UPG) correspondences for local plants. Please do not utilize this post as a sole way to identify them, and do not ingest unless you have done the proper research. 

Meet Claytonia sibirica, also known as Siberian Miner’s Lettuce, Pink Purslane, or Candy Flower. This small beauty loves to grow along the sides of trails and along openings in the forest. I think the luscious, alternate leaves and delicate flowers brighten up the forest floor. I once lived off of this plant for a week during a survival trip!

I haven’t interacted with these plant spirits much, other than to thank them.

Stems. Young, brief life and growth.

Leaves. Depth, knowledge, sustainability. 

Flowers. Innocence, shimmering/light-like glamour.

Meet Claytonia perfoliata, also known as Perfoliate Miner’s Lettuce, Spring Beauty or Winter Purslane. This small beauty also loves to grow along the sides of trails and along openings in the forest. The leaves are simply magical, and it has teeny white flowers.

I have never interacted with these spirits, I actually rarely see this form of the plant.

Stem. Young, brief life and growth.

Leaves. Strengthen magic, confidence in power, connection to spirits.

Flowers. Fae, concealment, close friendship.

)O( WITCH TIP )O(

Hello witchlings! Lately I’ve been inundated with lots of you new witchlings asking questions and realized–you guys need some help huh!? Being new to something as vastly huge as Paganism is super overwhelming–especially with the internet telling you 20 different answers for one problem! So today’s post is for all you new witchlings! By the way, NEVER EVER EVER be shy about asking a question. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A STUPID QUESTION (in real life or in asking pagan ones). When I was first learning I had NO idea what the hell a chalice was, or a circle, or an athame (ritual dagger). But it’s important to ask ANY QUESTION you have about something, because in the world of magic, not knowing and doing something with only half answers and guesses will at best leave you with a spell/ritual that doesn’t work and at worst summons something into your life that could be awful. I don’t say that to scare you away from this path–just…you know, STUDY. Ask questions. It’s like building a toy rocket and then saying you can build a real one. Maybe take some chemistry classes and stuff you know? >__> SO WITHOUT FURTHER ADIEU, MY NEWBIE WITCHLING TIPS: 1. Casting a circle is when you use a wand or your finger (or even an athame) to put up a magical (aka energy) boundary between you and any negative energies that might try to sneak in or influence your spells, rituals, or magical crafting sessions. When you cast it, start at your altar and work clockwise. As you do, imagine a colored (you magic’s color, I did a blog post on how to find your color) line on the floor, creating a circle, as you do this say “I cast this circle in perfect love and perfect trust. Only those who wish to help in kindness may enter here.” (Or something of that variation, do whatever words feel right to you!). Once you get to where you first started arch your finger/wand/athame up above your head and say “as above” (and imagine a dome appearing over your head) and follow it down, sweeping a line under you to meet up to the ‘start’ area, imagining a dome under your feet (you’re basically making a literal bubble of energy around you) and say “So below” and when you get to the ‘start’ position say “So mote it be.” THERE YOU GO! You’ve cast your circle! 2. You don’t ALWAYS have to cast a circle. If your room has items or sigils (magical symbols) on the door, even just drawn on with your finger and power, to protect it against negativity and negative entities you don’t need one (unless you feel uncomfortable without one of course!). Some people believe in always casting circles, some don’t. Just do what feels right for you or for you situation. I don’t cast circles MOST of the time when I do rituals outside because I’m happy to have elemental spirits in it. 3. You don’t need to buy (or even have)  wands, chalices, athames, etc. Are they nice to have? Sure. Do you need them? No. And let’s be honest, pagan crafts are EXPENSIVE when you buy them. I really try to support my local pagan crafters (especially if I like their energy and can see they really did imbue their items with magic and love) when I can though. But you don’t need them. And look, you can use a glass cup, a letter opener and a branch you find from a tree (they’ll often give them to you, just remember to leave some energy behind as thanks) as a wand. 4. The thing that makes an item magical (any item) is that you bless it and only use it for magic/rituals/spells and not for everyday mundane use.  5. Not all witches are pagan, and not all pagans are witches. Witches are people who use energy (theirs and the energy of other things like plants, rocks, etc) to make positive (or even negative) things in their life. They don’t need to believe in a deity to do that. Paganism is an umbrella term for ANY RELIGION that isn’t Judeo-Christian. So, Buddhism, Shintoism, Hinduism, Wicca, etc, is all considered ‘pagan’. Hence why you can have a pagan who isn’t a witch and a witch who isn’t pagan. I’m a pagan witch. :) 6. A lot of pagan rituals are actually Wicca rituals, which actually draws quite heavy on Catholicism. This isn’t a BAD thing, just an interesting thing to note. Look at how a Wiccan ritual is set up and you’ll see a lot of similarities.  STAY TUNED BECAUSE I’LL PUT UP MORE TIPS HERE! In the mean time, please keep asking me questions and I’ll answer them in my next few posts!

i was wondering if one of our cats, the one i feel more bonded to, was my familiar... hes not the brightest so i wasnt sure if hes cut out to hebone but hes so sweet and hes soothed me from anxiety when i needed it most

I’m having a super rough night and hes out wandering the house... so i just. Start thinking intensely abt how i want him close and the moment i thought the words “familiar, i invoke thee” he leaped onto the bed, spooking the heck out of me.

may need to research this subject further.
