Outdoor Activities:

🌧 first of all, collect rainwater! (You can use it in spells, charging, or for cleansing yourself. You can also add it to your bath for extra energy.)

🌧 dance in the rain to connect with Mother Earth's energy by letting the rain fall on you as you move to its rhythm.

🌧 while dancing, you can also sing! Especially your all-time favorite songs. The nature spirits will love it.

🌧 take a walk barefoot in the rain. Speak with the trees and look for some nice stones to collect along the way

🌧 connect with the fae folk or other folklore spirits. You can leave offerings for them, such as cookies, bread, or tea

🌧 let the rain cleanse you. Just stay in the rain and allow it to wash away any negative thoughts or emotions

🌧 if it's a gentle rain, take the opportunity to meditate, focusing especially on sound of the raindrops

Indoor Activities:

🌧 try shadow work prompts

🌧 connect with the water element by listening to your heart and respecting your emotions

🌧 listen to a guided meditation that promotes self-reflection and healing

🌧 read something while you listen to the rain

🌧 bake anything you like♡. Warm up your house by baking a treat and you can also make some tea with it

🌧 study about deities associated with rain (Zeus, Mariamman, Anzar, Freyr, Jupiter)

🌧 rest or do peaceful activities. If you're not particularly fond of rain, simply use the day to rest in your bed and do things that make you feel comfortable and peaceful ☁️ 🌱 💧♡

I just think that having altars to the gods in our homes is so beautiful. It’s a practise that’s been carried down for thousands of years no matter how hard people have tried to wipe it out.

Totally agree! I always think of cleaning as part of my witchcraft! I often sage my apartment afterward too ❤️

one of the best minimalistic witchy things you can do is clean your house.

seriously. light a candle and go to town. in the process of cleaning, you’re also metaphysically cleansing your space which opens doors to renew wards and put up additional barriers if necessary.

you’ll feel much better afterwards, and remember to take breaks if you need to.

How to Dehydrate Herbs

This is my first post on my newly-minted digital grimoire, so I thought I'd start out with info I already know. Here's a short little guide on how to dehydrate herbs and other materials at home in your oven (if you have one). I usually dehydrate fresh materials instead of hanging them as firstly: I have a cat who will find a way to reach anything I hang up to dry, and secondly: there are some materials I don't feel comfortable leaving out in open air as they will likely rot. Also, it just saves on drying time.

Steps:

1. Grab whatever you want to dehydrate whether it be fruits, peels, herbs, veg, or (my favourite) eggshells.

Important Note: DO NOT EVER put plants which are known to be toxic or whose origins are unclear in your oven. It's never worth it.

2. Place your items on a sheet pan with parchment paper underneath (there may be lingering oils on the pan, but if you are okay with that feel free to skip the parchment).

3. If your oven is fancy and you have a dehydration setting, great! Use the recommended temperature. If not, set your oven between 160-190*. I usually set it lower, but if you're short on time it will work higher.

4. This is the most crucial step: keep your oven door slightly ajar in order to let moisture escape. However, very importantly DO NOT EVER LEAVE YOUR OPEN OVEN UNATTENDED (or your closed one, for that matter), especially if you have an older oven. Basic fire safety applies here.

5. The process usually takes around 2 hours if you are dehydrating thinner plants, but may take up to 3-4 if you are dehydrating something thicker like citrus peels or fruit slices. Either way, be prepared to wait a bit. You will know they are done when you can easily crush them if plants or they are breakably-solid if peels. With eggshells they will be brittle anyways, but it's nice to dehydrate them to more easily grind into a powder and also to kill any lingering bacteria.

6. Store herbs as you usually would in a container away from sunlight. Enjoy!

Mother Hekáte, bring justice to those who have been treated unfairly. Let those who brought sorrow to others feel the touch of Your karma. Let those who judge sit in judgement and those who gatekeep find themselves without Your Key.

Hold close those who clothe themselves in kindness and those who embrace All. Give sanctuary to those who believe in You and allow us to prosper in our devotion.
