3 Ways to Work with Drinking Water in Your Practice

I feel like witches don't talk about water enough, it's the one thing every single person can't live without and it's so easy to work with!

Enchant Your Drinking Water

This is perhaps one of the most practical things you can do with water, and it can be done in so many ways! Start by cleaning your glass (don't use anything you wouldn't want near or in your drinking water to cleanse with) then you can write sigils, runes, or speak into your water. You can also write down what you want onto the glass (please make sure the marker won't ruin the glass) or write it onto a piece of paper, fold it towards yourself, and then place it under your glass. For that method leave it overnight. You can either pair this with crystals around the glass for any of these methods or just use crystals.

Color Magick

I am one of those witches that loves color magick. And why not, it's simple and fun! you can use a glass with the color of what you are manifesting. For instance green for money, red for love, yellow for better communication, etc. Or if you can find a marker opaque enough, you can write on the glass with a marker the same color as your intention.

Metal Magick

Silver, gold, copper, they all have their magickal properties (along with other metals). You can draw from these properties by putting your water in a vessel made of one of these metals (along with your intention of course). Gold and silver cups can get expensive so you might want to be on the lookout at your local thrift store or charity shop!

Note: Please be careful with doing this as small amounts of these metals will get into your water.

Also this website/personal blog is under construction and I have no idea how long it's been that way but it looks cool and may be something to keep an eye on?

I feel like concepts like "sea witch" are a relatively new thing so a lot of what I found tends to be shorter, online inspiration unfortunately. But it's something!

Also reminder, you guys can ask me for resources anytime. I'm more likely to get back to you through messages, but I do my best either way.

Working with Water

Welcome to the first part of my elemental series! Today we will explore some aspects of working with water like offerings, devotional activities, common lessons, aspects, and more! With all that said lets get started!

To preface: I am a devotee to water itself, I am a west witch practioner which means I work within the domain of water, the past, divination, and psyche! I also am a general elemental practioner and have experience working with all of the elements and their aspects!

What is working with water like?

The verified gnosis depends on what pantheon or historical significance we are looking at, however some things are constant! Water is fluid, represents motion and an unbridled force, but people can work with aspects of water! Water doesnt have a gender (neither do any of the elements) so asking during a working relationship is a great way to bond! Some people use she, he, they, and anything inbetween mainly because there are a lot of dynamics world wide!

In general, Water is primordial, being one of the first elements on the planet to house life as the primordial soup. In general her energy carries this! It has many aspects, from ocean, abyss, stream, river, and more, and spirits/traditions change depending on where you are looking! It mainly has to do with formations on the earth and how water presents to you!

Some people who work with more general bodies like streams, rivers, and lakes have a more relaxed time, learning more about how to go with the flow, tackle divination, and working with aspects of transcendence as many bodies of waters were considered to be portals. When it comes to larger and deeper bodies of water like ocean, abyss, and the primordial soup you will learn lessons more about the human condition, shadow work, and taking on the past.

Some things to note, waters personality is not set in stone, however elements are not omnipotent or omnipresent because they physically exist, its best to call on the energies of the elements before attempting to interact, and this also means they wont be around you all the time. Also, do not be suprised if an element isnt kind to you from the start. In a lot of cultures, elements dislike what we are doing to our planet and in general water may mention the plastic problem and pollution and encourage you to clean up our lands! Its important to remember that to the elements we are simply animals like any other bear, bird, or deer! Remember that you can learn a lot from a distance, so dont be offended if water would rather have you observe nature rather than directly give you answers via divination. UPG: In my experience water tends to be a portal, it is stoic, never saying 'i love you' or 'im proud' simply because it doesnt follow the human system of love. It is billions of years old and interestingly enough, water does rule over the psyche and past and is extremely emotionally intelligent, but has a preference in showing someone how to love themselves rather than giving out the term itself. It humanizes the element too much. Another aspect is even as a devotee it isnt heavy ritual work, a lot of it is introspection and action based!

A good thing to note is water does have a primordial “womb” aspect because of the Primordial soup! Most of the elements will have a birth aspect. On the contrary Water also has a death aspect within Abyss (the darker element) as it relates to death and the shadows. Working with these entities follows a similar feel to working with water itself, however the primordial soup teaches more about the human condition and what it means to evolve, while abyss teaches how to accept our darker flaws and translate them into good.

What are common offerings?

Most people place altars to water in wet rooms, bathrooms, and showers! Or at least near entrances and thresholds! Water tends to enjoy hand picked items, items from your adventures, and things you find interesting in your research. It tends to really enjoy having a set space.

There is heavy emphasis on action, and usually there are types of offerings! Net Positive, Net Negative, and Neutral! Positive offerings are anything that benefits the water ways which include beach clean ups, enjoying the water with reef safe sun screen, and creating a floating fish feeder! Neutral offerings refer to offerings that neither help nor harm water ways mainly is taking things home and charging them in moon light or on an altar then bringing them back, introducing native florals or herbs to a water way, or creating a biodegradable floating offering. Practicing at home in your shower or with drinking water usually is neutral or even positive. Net Negative are any offerings that negatively impact waterways like introducing salt from an offering, floating non-native florals and herbs, adding crystals to the environment.

Its important that you are aware of the offerings you introduce into your area, research is the key, and if you cant and still want to honor water look into how to conserve water in your own home like creating moon water from potable water, creating potions and other things in a respectful manner, and practicing safely

Some common practices include visiting local water spots, clean ups, potion crafting, collecting waters like moon or rain, meditating during water moments like during rain, cleaning up your bathroom or mudroom, enjoying shower and bathing magic, using steam, and so much more!

Today I started my period AND a huge thunderstorm is a brewing so I decided to do a ritual for Aphrodite. (lol) I asked for guidance and gifted her sweet smells, sugar, honey, incense, tea even and then I pulled out my tarot cards…she was not afraid to be honest😭 But man she was so kind too and made me so hopeful, thank you Universe thank you Lady Aphrodite. I promise I hear you and I know everything’s going to be amazing and that I just need to allow myself to take risks and overcome my fear of failure lol but thought I’d share just because :)💜🌊🐚🌎🌳🌅

Sea witchcraft

Sea witchcraft, also known as sea magic or ocean witchcraft, is a type of witchcraft that is centered around the sea and its energies. It is a form of nature-based spirituality that draws upon the elements of water, air, and earth, and the rhythms of the tides and the moon. Sea witches may focus on healing, divination, or protection, as well as working with sea creatures and the spirits of the ocean.

Here are some key practices and beliefs associated with sea witchcraft:

Connection to the Sea: Sea witches believe in the power of the ocean and its ability to heal and transform. They may feel a deep connection to the sea, and incorporate its energies into their daily practice.

Working with Water: Water is a central element in sea witchcraft, and sea witches may work with it in a variety of ways, such as using sea water in rituals, collecting rainwater for use in spells, or working with water crystals or gemstones.

Moon Magic: The phases of the moon and its connection to the tides is an important aspect of sea witchcraft. Sea witches may perform rituals or spells during specific moon phases, and use lunar correspondences in their practice.

Sea Creatures: Sea witches may work with the spirits of sea creatures, such as dolphins, whales, and sea turtles. They may also use shells, coral, or other oceanic items in their spellwork.

Protection Magic: Because the ocean can be dangerous and unpredictable, sea witches may focus on protection magic, using spells or charms to ward off negative energies or to protect sailors and fishermen.

Divination: Sea witches may use various forms of divination to gain insights and guidance, such as tarot, runes, or sea shell readings.

Weather Magic: The sea and the weather are closely connected, and sea witches may work with the energies of storms, wind, and rain. They may perform rituals to calm storms or to bring rain during droughts.

Sea witchcraft can be practiced both on land and at sea. Some sea witches may work by the ocean, incorporating natural items like shells, driftwood, and seaweed into their practice, while others may incorporate the essence of the sea into their practice by using items like sea salt, seashells, or sea-themed decor in their homes.

Sea witchcraft is a beautiful and powerful way to connect with the energies of the ocean and nature, and to deepen your spiritual practice.

The simplified version of this post

[shadowtemplepdx]

Water Goddesses, Deities, and Orishas - B

Bai Tanki: Bai Tanki is an Indian goddess whose tragedy forms an extreme mythic story. It is said many men tried to rape her as a young woman and she sought the aid of magic to come to her rescue. It is here that sexually transmitted diseases were born. As each attacker tried to assault her, his penis became diseased; despite this, one evil individual was successful. Her pain and sorrow caused her to transform into a river and spread these maladies throughout the earth.

Berba: Berba, along with Eoryus and Suirus, are the “three sisters” that govern the rivers of Southeast Ireland. Specifically, Berba is said to be the goddess of the Barrow River.

Boann: Also known as the “White Cow,” this deity is the resident goddess of the Boyne River in Ireland. Located near the sacred ancient tombs of Newgrange, Knowth, and Dowth, the river is a source of both power and mystery. Like the goddess Sinann, Boann tested the boundaries of the water and met a watery death. It is said she broke a taboo concerning the sacred well there and looked into the sacred water. Boann is said to be a patron of poets, creativity, fertility, knowledge, and divine inspiration. Boann was the daughter of Delbáeth of the Tuatha dé Danann.

Brigit: Her name roughly translates to “fiery one” in the ancient language of the Celts, which refers to her connections to sacred flame. However, she is also associated with healing water and springs. She is also the patron deity of prophecy, the hearth, poets, midwives, sailors, travelers, and even fugitives. Many varying animals fall under her powerful protection, particularly lambs, bees, cows, snakes, and also owls.

I did a thing! Since it's a new moon tonight, and this is definitely a new thing for me, I had kinda a ritual shower to usher in new beginnings! It was a really lovely experience and very low stress which is what I hoped for. We're taking baby steps, but they are steps nonetheless!! And I'm really proud of myself for this!
