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 - November Full Moon + Total Lunar Eclipse 2022

-
Image
Hello all!! Don't be confused by the picture, all will be revealed!! This month's Full Moon in Taurus ♉ will be accompanied by a total Lunar Eclipse!! So, with the total lunar eclipse, and a meteor shower to boot, energies are quite fraught this month, and that counts as the energies within you too. This turbulent time is said to activate your inner rebel, that little voice within you that says 'what if we just...' Authority will grate on you, especially if it is misused and power is being abused, and this will prompt you to start flouting the rules. There is lots of incoherent stuff in your mind at the moment, the Moon calls you to surrender that, the eclipse calls you to do so fully and without abandon. Start marching to the sound of your own beat!  We need to shift this out of the way, so that we can align with our purpose. Sitting quietly tonight, letting everything go and embracing what is left will allow you to do this successfully.  You have probably

Emporiblog - Correcting Misinformation

Hello all! Today's post is kind of a serious one. Looking back through some of our previous posts, I have realised that some of the information that I gave is in fact, incorrect ! This post will hopefully set the record straight. The previous posts will still stand to serve as a reminder to always cross-reference and research thoroughly to avoid the mistakes that I made. Correction 1  ROSEMARY IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR ANY HERB!  Rosemary can only be substituted for herbs that it shares properties with. And, while we're here: - Rose cannot be substituted for any flower. Only the ones it shares properties with - Frankincense and Copal cannot be substituted for any incense/oil/gum resin. Only the ones that they share properties with - Tobacco cannot be substituted for any poisonous herbs. Only the ones that it shares properties with - Clear Quartz cannot be used as a substitute for any Crystal. Only the ones that it shares properties with As far as I know, White candle
