Emporiblog - Altar Items - Elements

-
Hello all!! It's been a while since we've had a post from our mini Altar series so here we go with Elements!!



The Elements are all around us and without them we wouldn't have the world we have now so, it makes sense that we use these Elements in Witchcraft. Even if you don't work with Deities/Entities, chances are you've invoked an Element or 2 or gravitate towards a specific one. Here are some ways that you can represent each element, starting with my favourite:



Fire

Fire can be represented by:

- Candles, both battery powered and normal

- Incense

- Lighters, Matches, anything that can be used in ignition

- The colours red, orange and yellow

- Fire imagery, pictures of fire, volcanoes etc

- Volcanic rocks

- Coal




Water

Water can be represented by:

- A bowl of water

- The colours blue, green and the shades in-between

- Sea shells

- Water imagery, pictures of bodys of Water, rain etc

- Mermaid/Sea creature imagery

- Boat/ship imagery

- Driftwood




Earth

Earth can be represented with the following:

- Soil, rocks/crystals, stones, sand, coal, anything that comes from the Earth

- Plants, both alive and dried

- Earthy colours like browns and greens

- Images of nature e.g deserts, rainforests, woodland area etc

- Salt

- Tree bark/Sticks and branches



Air

Air can be represented with:

- Incense

- Feathers

- Bird imagery

- The colours yellow and purple

- Mountain imagery

- Pictures of clouds and the weather

- Music sheets/instruments

- Writing

- Sound bowls/Bells



I think we'll leave this here!! Remember that you don't need to have an Altar to practice Witchcraft, not everyone has the time or the space!!


Blessings,

Emporiblog - Which Witch Closed Edition - Draconic

-

Hello all!! Today we're returning to our Which Witch Closed Edition series and kicking off our Dragon series!! DISCLAIMER: This is a closed practices and cannot be practiced by everyone, including myself! I have done my best to research as much as possible but since I cannot practice this, resources are limited. Draconic Witchcraft centers around Dragons and not necessarily the ones you've seen on TV and in books. Dragons are completely separate entities and working with them isn't for the faint of heart or something that just anyone can do as Dragons are very picky and secretive when it comes to working with people. Draconic Witchcraft is a closed practice but not for the same reasons as our previous practices, it's not tied to a specific ethnicity, place of origin or bloodline; it is closed because you can only become a Draconic Witch with the following 2 requirements: - The Dragons choose you - You must be able to read energy As I stated before, Dragons ...

Earthing

(Photo Credit: Kerenza Jinks) Earthing Although many people see grounding and earthing as the same thing, I do not.  Allow me to elaborate. To me, grounding is a spiritual thing, whereas earthing is a physical one. Although, both can be practiced together. Yes, I'm confused too. I have confused myself!! So, I will try and explain what I see as the difference. Our post on grounding is here . To me, grounding is a practice of getting rid of unwanted energy, it helps me when I feel anxious, overwhelmed or am overthinking. Yes, I go outside to do this quite often, but that is not a necessary practice. I can also meditate to achieve this   Grounding meditation on YouTube . Essentially, grounding helps calm me down, whereas Earthing gives me energy. In walking barefoot on the ground, I feel that I can draw up energy from the Earth herself, and this can be enough to allow me to face a busy day with positivity. Basically, I Earth to feel more energetic, and ground to rid myself of unw...

Hello all! We're kicking off the festive season with a post on Snow Magick! We will also cover ice as well since the two go hand in hand! So, the easiest point to cover is that both snow and ice are different forms of water and can be used in water rituals and magick as a whole as well as for their own individual uses. We have several posts on the uses of water for those who want some extra reading! Snow/Ice is also associated with the following: - Winter - Death - Preservation  - Transformation As well as many deities and beings ( Krampus comes to mind) But, let us look at the uses of snow within the craft... 1 : You can use snow to make a poppet! That's right, you can make a temporary poppet in your own garden by building a snowman or several and enchanting them to protect your property. You can also make regular sized poppets, enchant them and melt them 2 : Get rid of unwanted behaviours by enchanting a snowball or placing a piece of paper into a snowball and t...
