Emporiblog - Water Wards

-
Hello all! Today we are going to cover a specific type of ward! But first.....


A quick recap of Warding 

A ward is something that allows you to control the energy within a designated area. For a more detailed explanation, see link below 👇🏻

- Warding 



What are the benefits of a Water Ward?

The benefits of this ward include:

- Can be any size
- Easy to change
- Great for altars
- Can be placed almost anywhere
- Cheap and easy to make 

A quick note: If you have children or a pet, put this type of ward high up and out of the way, especially if you have cats!


Once you have decided on the purpose of your ward, you can begin to make one!

How to make a Water Ward (WW)

For an easy WW, you will need:

- Some sort of lidless container or bowl
- Water (Charged or tap)

Step 1

Place water in chosen recepticle making sure to leave plenty of room


Step 2

Set your intentions with the ward and place appropriately

As a bonus, you can draw/paint sigils and runes onto the recepticle for extra power


For a more complicated WW

You will need the following:

- Lidless container or bowl
- Water (charged or tap)
- Herbs
- Crystal/s

Step 1

Add your ingredients to your bowl but do not put too much in. A very light sprinkling is more than enough, depending on the size of your recepticle or nothing more than a teaspoon full

Step 2

If you are using a crystal, put it in the centre of the bowl. If you are using chips, place them in the bowl but don't use too many

Step 3

Add your water but leave plenty of room and place appropriately

As a bonus, you can draw/paint sigils and runes onto the recepticle for extra power. Oil can also be added but only use a few drops!


Maintaince

Like every ward, a WW needs to be maintained and replenished. Here is a rough outline of when to change your WW.

Change the ward when:

- The ward feels stale
- If there is mould
- If there are insects
- If the recepticle cracks/breaks

To dispose of the ward, pick out crystals and dry them. You can also separate the herbs but that will be fiddly. Then pour the water down the drain and rinse or flush down the toilet. 


What is charged water?

As mentioned in the ingredients list, charged water is water that has been made and charged for specific purposes and with specific energies. Examples (and further reading) include:

- Moon Water (covered in this post Full Moon)


- Mars Water (Like War Water but just plain water and intention)





For more on the topic of water, click the links below if you have an hour or 2 for reading:




- Wells (If you have a well on your property, carve sigils and runes into the stone)






I think we'll leave this post here! Please do your research for this ward in regards to crystals (see above section) and herbs and oils (PET SAFETY).

I think the next post could possibly be Plant Wards once I have done more research. If you have any questions, let us know!


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...
