Emporiblog - Snow Magick

-
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 throwing it as far as you can. Both fun and practical

3: You can use both snow and ice to help someone "chill out"

4: Snow is a blank canvas and a sturdy stick can help with drawing things in the snow such as runes and sigils

5: Snow candles! More information here (use caution!) How To Make A Snow Candle


Now let's have a look at the uses of ice:

1: Freezer spells! If you want to literally freeze someone or something in their tracks, put their name and date of birth and/or a photo in some water and put them in the freezer for as long as you feel necessary. You could technically put a poppet in the freezer too

2: Release or destroy something by smashing an ice cube! Make a tray of ice cubes and when they are ready, take one out and put it on the ground outside, speak your intention to it and smash it. You can also put pieces of paper with your intention in the water to freeze 

3: Ice is slippery, use it to make someone slip up

4: A cooking tip. Melt butter and pour into an ice cube tray and add herbs. Let them set and use in cooking 

5: This is a baneful tip but you can use icicles to pierce a poppet but be careful and wear eye protection! 

6: Pour water into moulds to make ice statues and use the melting process as a spell 


I think we'll leave this post here! It snowed in Cornwall today, which is a rarety in itself but to snow in November is even rarer!

Wrap up warm, watch for ice and be careful on the roads! 


Blessings,

Emporiblog - November Full Moon + Total Lunar Eclipse 2022

-

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
