I remember being a little girl with my friends looking at “spells” we could do to change our eye color, become a mermaid, do “light” or “dark” magic, see our auras, contact spirits, see how we’re going to die, create potions, love spells, perfumes and glamour magic, anything to instill magic into our lives.

Light as a feather stiff as a board, cat scratch, 80 days around the world, ouija boards, creating a ball of energy with our fingertips;

Girlhood is truly just a pipeline for being a witch in the future. Sometimes I forget what I was, simply because as an adult woman I chalk it up to just games. But there’s reality in it, there’s magic in everything we did. We were meant to grow up and hone our powers.

We were meant for this.

Please read. I've seen so many witchy creators using this term inappropriate lately and it feels as if I'm talking to a wall. PLEASE research everything you see when people are attempting to teach you stuff on the internet. You can be a witch & do practices while still being respectful of others.

Guide to Drying Herbs

Drying herbs is a simple practice, and there are several methods to choose from depending on the type of herb and your desire use. Here's how I dry my herbs:

1. Drying on Newspaper

This method works well for larger leaves and herbs that don’t need to be hung.

Lay the herbs flat on a clean sheet of newspaper in a single layer.

Place the newspaper in a dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.

Turn the herbs occasionally to ensure even drying.

Once the herbs are dry and crisp to the touch, they’re ready for storage.

2. Hanging Herbs Upside Down

Perfect for longer herbs, like rosemary, lavender or thyme, that can be tied together.

Gather small bunches of herbs and secure them with a cord or string.

Wrap the herbs loosely in a breathable cloth, like cheesecloth or muslin. This helps them air freely while catching any small leaves or flowers that may shed during the drying process.

Hang the bunches upside down in a cool, dry place with good airflow. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can degrade the color and potency.

Once the herbs are completely dry (they should crumble easily), remove the leaves or store them as they are.

I do this with fresh lavender that I put in my closet as shown in the picture.

3. Pressing Herbs

This method is ideal for preserving delicate leaves or flowers for decorative purposes or rituals.

Place the herbs between sheets of paper (such as parchment or regular printer paper).

Insert the paper into a thick book, ensuring the herbs are spread flat and evenly.

Place additional books or a weight on top to press them.

Leave them for 1–2 weeks, checking occasionally for dryness.

4. Drying Small Petals

For small, delicate petals or flowers, a rule bag works wonders.

Place the petals or flowers in a breathable rule bag (such as a mesh or cotton drawstring bag).

Hang the bag in a dry, ventilated area.

Shake the bag gently every few days to prevent clumping and to ensure even drying.

General Tips for Best Results

Use Breathable Cloths: Wrapping your herbs or laying them on a breathable cloth allows air to circulate freely, preventing mold while catching any small leaves or flowers that shed during the drying process.

Timing: Dry herbs as soon as possible after harvesting to retain their potency and fragrance.

Environment: Choose a dry, cool, and ventilated area to prevent mold or mildew.

Labeling: If drying multiple herbs, label them to avoid confusion.

Storage: Once dried, store your herbs in airtight containers away from sunlight and moisture.

Using Dried Herbs

Always check if the plant is safe for use before collecting it. Do not make tea or touch anything with unknown properties. Always clean your plants before drying.

Once your herbs are dried, you can use them for teas, rituals, incense, or other magical and practical purposes. Always remember to respect and honor the plants you've harvested by using them mindfully.

Litha Season: Astrology, Correspondences and Activity Ideas

Helga Haze on Pinterest

Litha season covers the entire zodiac sign of Cancer and half of Leo. Their ruler planets are the Moon and the Sun. On the longest day of the year — the summer solstice — intertwine obvious and hidden, irrational and rational, internal and external, masculine and feminine, ego and id.

Litha is the Sun at the peak of its power. The Earth is in bloom and abundance. It's triumph of joy, warmth, pleasure, and light. The brightest, most memorable moment before the wheel of the year changes its direction again and starts moving towards increasing darkness. After the summer solstice, the daylight hours will begin to get shorter and shorter.

Litha season is a time to:

🟆 Go public, bring your projects out of the drawer, come out of the broom closet. 🟆 Create a website, portfolio, blog, social media account to promote and showcase your project or business. 🟆 Work on your marketing positioning, personal branding, be clear about «who I am, what I am about, and for whom I do what I do.» 🟆 Try or improve yourself in acting, public speaking. 🟆 Release body tension through relaxation exercises and breathing techniques. 🟆 Learn to relax and rest (truly, not just switch from one activity to another). 🟆 Add creativity to your life, dedicate time to the things you love most. 🟆 Try freewriting, doodling, play, experiment, do spontaneous «silly things» that bring you joy. 🟆 Donate food and clothes to charity, adopt new eco-friendly habits. 🟆 Gather around a campfire, go camping, trekking, have picnics. 🟆 Drink tea on the porch or balcony. 🟆 Watch sunrises and sunsets. 🟆 Dance — in a rooftop café, alone at home, in a garden. 🟆 Swim (especially at night, if it’s warm and safe). 🟆 Go out into nature, take a vacation, travel for a couple of days to a new place. 🟆 Collect and dry St. John’s wort and other seasonal herbs. 🟆 Enjoy food, seasonal fruits, visit a restaurant of your favourite cuisine.

Litha Season is not a time to:

🟆 Try to mend relationships with those who are not interested in it. 🟆 Dwell in the past, escape from the moment «here and now». 🟆 Hold onto «expired» things that cause you pain. 🟆 Deny yourself joy and pleasure. 🟆 Get stuck in the city among concrete and asphalt.

All this is relevant until Lughnasadh (August 1), the point between the summer solstice and the autumn equinox.
