Hello all! Buckle up because we're in for a hell of a lot with this moon! This Full Moon is in Scorpio ♏ and will also be an eclipse (we have a separate post on eclipse magick if you fancy some extra reading) so the next few days might be a bit hectic! We have some more astrological events happening (that I don't understand) but they will affect what is happening. Emotions and stubbornness will run high and arguments are likely to breakout, if you let them. You need to accept your current situation so you can calm yourself and re-evaluate with a clearer mind. This will also help you to figure out who wants to argue for the hell of it and cause trouble. Find control amongst the chaos. In retrograde, we have: - Mercury 😩 - Pluto  Crystals Here are some Crystals to work with during this Full Moon: - Moonstone/Black Moonstone - Selenite - Smokey Quartz - Amazonite - Obsidian - Lapis Lazuli - Citrine - Jasper - Aquamarine - Red Jasper - Agate - Hematite If you're dr

Hello all!! We're going into our second consecutive Aries ♈ New Moon, so let's see what's in store for us! As well as being our second Aries New Moon, this moon will also coincide with a solar eclipse as well as the preshadow of Mercury! There will be a lot of chaos flying around here but, you can use that to your advantage. This is an ideal time to manifest, however, you need to be 100% certain and focused on your goals, whether it be goals for the week or for the next year, you need to be sure and ready.

Hello all! We're back with another Full Moon post! This Full Moon will be in Libra ♎ and might be a little tricky. This moon may have you feeling like there is stuff to hold onto from the past. You may find yourself making excuses to avoid things and just avoiding what needs to be done in general. However, the scales are a symbol of Libra and this Moon can help you figure out the balance between holding on and moving on. We don't currently have anything in retrograde but the pre shadow of Mercury is fast approaching! Crystals Here are some Crystals to work with during this Full Moon: - Moonstone - Jade - Tourmaline - Labradorite - Aquamarine - Moredo Opal - Topaz - Adventurine - Bloodstone - Rose Quartz - Lepidolite If you're drawn to any other Crystals during this time, use those too!! Especially if they're pink! Herbs/Incense Below are some herbs/incense for the Full Moon: - Catnip - Yarrow - Thyme - Pine - Bergamot - Rosemary - Elderberry - Mugwort - St J

Hello all! We're back with another moon so let's see what this celestial event has in store for us! This New Moon is in Aries ♈ and is the best time to start and launch new projects and finish old ones. It is also the best opportunity to manifest as this moon will carry forward positivity and success. This is also a Moon for refection and rethinking commitments. Do not be afraid to say no to things that no longer suit you. The energy from Ostara will also still be lingering. There is currently nothing in retrograde (according to my app) but other astrological events are probably occuring! Crystals Here are some Crystals for the New Moon: - Moonstone - Rhodochrosite - Citrine - Adventurine - Lepidolite - Topaz (Blue) - Carnelian - Diamond - Ruby - Aquamarine - Hematite - Bloodstone Herbs/Flowers Below are some Flowers and Herbs for this New Moon (if you don't have the actual plant, the corresponding incense/oil will be fine): - Geraniums - Basil - Thistle - Cherv

Hello all!! We are coming back with a bang (not necessarily to regular posting but to some kind of posting) and we are diving into the wonderful ingredient of War Water! NOTE: THIS IS PREDOMINANTLY BANEFUL IF THAT IS NOT YOUR THING, SCROLL AWAY Now that's out of the way, let's have a quick look at what War Water is... What is War Water? War Water is water that is created for a specific purpose like other waters, such as: -  Storm Water -  Sun Water - Moon Water  But War Water is not to be used lightly. It will pack a punch and is very volatile ( even more so depending on what you put into it ).  Believe it or not, War Water actually comes from American witchcraft traditions (particularly Southern) but it is NOT closed as it does not belong to practices like Hoodoo, it mostly stems from European folk magick influences. Folk magick itself may be closed to specific peoples so some specific recipes for War Water may include closed ingredients so do your research first!

  🖼️Credit - La Llorona by Leo D'Amico Hello all!! It's been a very long time since we've posted anything besides a Moon so, we're coming back with our Mythological Creature Series! So far in this series, we have covered: -  Vampire -  Goblin -  Wendigo -  Gargoyle Today, we are covering something different as the subject of this post is more Folklore than  mythological creature, but, we feel that "Creatures" like this should be included in the series.  There is a chance that you may have heard of this but if you haven't, caution is advised... DISCLAIMER: THE CONTENT OF THIS POST MAY BE DISTRESSING OR TRIGGERING. CONTAINS MENTION OF DROWNING AND CHILD DEATH. Today's Mythological Creature is La Llorona!! La Llorona (pronounced lah yo roh na ) is a Southwestern Hispanic American folk tale, dating from the time of the Conquistadors, though there is some speculation that she could have origins from the Aztec empire. La Llorona itself means The Weeping Wom
