☽ The Musings of a Solitary Witch ☾
☽ What I've learned, what I know and what I think about ☾
My birth chart.
I'll go into details on mine, how to get your own, and how to read it on my Astrology page.
Reading your chart can give you insights on aspects of your life and challenges, that you were not aware of.
A WITCH!
Lucky for me, we don't burn witches any more.
I only started practising the craft in 2007, so I still feel fairly new to it. I know it's almost 20 years, but there's always so much to learn.
My focus has been around celebrating the sabbaths, making intentions take form through baking, doing small rituals, protections spells, the odd hex here and there, but nothing major.
The specifics of how I do things might not be your style, and that's totally okay.
It's about trying things out, finding what works. There are a million different ways of doing things, but I find that most of the time, it only works if you set your intentions and focus. Easier said than done, but everything takes practice.
☽ Remember that you are magical ☾
Where to even start?!
I totally get it. I was overwhelmed and everything was all at once. Look at my page as a short and easy look into some (not all) aspects of witchery. I will also make a page with links to scholars and elders, whom you can learn a lot more from, if you're interested. Just remember not to drown yourself in information! Things take time, and that's both normal and completely alright!
Here I'll provide you with a little site map and what the different pages (will) contain.
☽ Introduction ☾
Here I'll go through a lot of the other topics, but a little superficially. I think that a big part of understanding the craft is realising how it's all connected and I'll try my best to make that clear here. It's basically the core principles of magic and energy.
☽ Tarot ☾
A walk through how I read tarot, how it is supposed to be used, alternatives and links to relevant resources. I have my own documents for how I use the cards, but my intuition is probably not exactly like yours, so I suggest you follow the guides I link, as they're how I figured everything out. Also a lot of trial and error.
☽ Astrology ☾
Here I'll try to go through everything that's written in the stars. This is accumulated knowledge from many astrologers over the years. I am not an astrologer, but I will again provide resources for you. This way you can learn to read my birth chart, find your own and hopefully understand just WHY you read it like that.
☽ Crystals ☾
Here I'll just list which crystals I own and how I use them, how I charge them and so on. I will link some relevant sites, so you can look up anything you need.
☽ Herbs ☾
Probably not the thing I'm most passionate about, and I mostly use herbs for cooking and baking. But I'll also list a few you can use in spell jars, if you want. Many other sites have more in depth lists and I'll link a few of those here.
☽ Recipes ☾
These will mostly be for the different things I bake or cook for Sabbaths, but I'll also list a few easy spell jars.
☽ Sabbaths ☾
How I celebrate the year and the seasons. I usually bake or cook, decorate an altar and spend a little time in nature. I'll try to be as thorough as I can, as I had a hard time finding specifics of how to celebrate the wheel of the year turning.
☽ Rituals ☾
A few ways I do protection and how you can recreate it. This will be an easy to follow guide, both for new witches, people who just dabble a little and if you've just never tried the specific rituals I do. This will include cleansing, protection, manifestation and other things. I'll also include small hexes and curses, that are not intended to ruin people's lives completely, but just make them reflect on things they've done.
☽ Other ☾
This is mostly a placeholder for later endeavours. If anything doesn't fit in the above categories, I will add it here.
