relaxing shower spell

limited ingredient & super limited effort spell designed for when you’re feeling really drained after work or after an outing, yknow <3

what you’ll need;

white candle (or pink!!)

honey

optional;

rose quartz <3

🛁 light your candle anywhere you can place it safely in the bathroom, aim for somewhere you can see it’s light nicely from inside the shower but if you can’t that’s ok no worries ofc!! take a dab of honey and place it onto your forehead. i usually just put it on my finger(s) and press in some intention for a moment, sometimes i’ll press some across my cheeks too <3 rinse off your hand but leave the honey on your forehead and anywhere else you put it to rinse off in the shower! if you’re using one, get your rose quartz and hover it above your honey covered area(s) for a moment and take a few breaths, then go ahead and shower with your rose quartz in sight or just near the tub! blow out your candle when you’ve finished up your night routine <3

protection jar

this jar was made for use in your home or on your person but it’s super versatile !!

what you’ll need;

nutmeg

salt

crushed eggshell

red chili flakes

chili powder

nutmeg

🗡 just layer your jar up and make sure to keep your intentions in mind the whole time, i think this one’s pretty self explanatory <3 we’ve got nutmeg for grounding the spell and adding security to the area the jars in/person it’s on. salt, obvious reasons! eggshell for home protection, astral protection, protection protection, lol. all the chili is essentially for spooking things off, letting everything know this little jar means business, great at returning things that were headed your way. then some more nutmeg to top it off!

cleansing spell

this one’s great to help realign yourself when you’re just feeling a bit off, or if you feel like you’ve picked up other people’s energy, etc

what you’ll need;

white candle (birthday, tea light, whatever!)

sugar

honey

rosemary

lemon

glass of drinking water

☁️ in front of a fire safe bowl/whatever place your glass of drinking water. now lay a hefty pile of sugar into your bowl, you need enough to hold your candle upright, make sure to place it in the center of your sugar. going clockwise, add your honey in three circles around your candle. then take your rosemary (if it’s whole crumble it in your palm, if it’s powdered dw) now sprinkle it clockwise on top of and slightly around the outside edge of your honey circle, making three more circles. take your lemon and cut it in half, put one half in front of your candle next to the glass and begin to charge it with your intentions as you complete the spell. gently squeeze the lemon juice around the candle clockwise again like everything else until it’s given up most of its juice, make sure you’re working your intentions into everything as you do this, now light your candle. with the second half of the lemon slowly and gently squeeze most or all of its juice into your cup of water that’s been charging in front of the candle. work your intentions in as you do and drink up while you let your candle go out <3

cozy cinnamon “coffee”

i don’t drink coffee much anymore however i love a good hot chocolate! cinnamon, along with a few other additions to this potion, are great for boosting energy without the caffeine :) perfect before work, having to do a self care routine, etc 🍂

what you’ll need;

2 c oat milk (or other milk of choice ofc!!)

1 tbs cocoa powder

1 tsp honey

1 tsp sugar

.5 tsp cinnamon

3 cloves

pinch of nutmeg

☕️ stir everything together clockwise, feel free to melt in a few chunks of dark chocolate if you have it! i like to let mine simmer for around 5-8 min and up to like 15 min tops; 1-2 cinnamon sticks would work great here instead of powdered if you want <3

spell jar for grounding and security 🪵🍃

this jar helps to quell emotional turmoil or stressors and help provide a sense of safety <3 its great to keep on your nightstand and i love holding it tight in my hands up to my chest or forehead when i’m overwhelmed :’)

-

what you’ll need;

nutmeg

oregano

chamomile

thyme

tree bark; it’s best to get it from a tree on your property (or an actual safe space if home isn’t a place of comfort for you) any is fine ofc!

-

nutmeg has always has such grounding and comforting energy for me so it felt like the perfect base for this little jar

oregano brings in a sense of comfort and healing, and the chamomile was introduced for obvious reasons

the thyme has similar use as the oregano with more of the healing and calming properties that i find similar to chamomile, i love how these two herbs work together <3

topping it off with some tree bark to lock in a sense of security and add a personal touch, bark is also really great for grounding!!

soothing scrub

this little scrub is great to use in the shower after work or after dealing with any other stressful event i.e meeting up with toxic family, running errands, etc! it helps soothe that hectic feeling and provides a healing and comforting energy

what you’ll need;

sugar

thyme

chamomile

optional;

rose quartz helps this process move along and charges up the spell perfectly if you have some on hand! i like to charge the scrub with it as i’m grinding everything up and/or hold it over my chest with the scrub sitting on it for a moment, but literally none of this is necessary i don’t even do it every time i just use it for a little kick when i need it

🌸 just mash everything up together neatly and methodically, meditate on the state of mind you’d like to work towards and how you’d like to feel. then take your scrub and work it clockwise over your heart and work those intentions in, after that just scrub all over and proceed how you normally would! i usually end up curling up in bed under a fluffy sheet right after this scrub, it always makes me feel so cozy and safe <3

great herbs for cleansing

✨ it’s finally springtime, which for a lot of witches means lots of spring cleansing; here’s a quick little list of herbs to help you clean and cleanse your home this season!

- rosemary; great for banishing negative energies or revitalizing stale ones

- lemon balm; use this to cleanse hectic or cluttered energies from a space, restoring balance

- thyme; really useful for bringing a calm and inviting energy to your space, while getting rid of negativity

- mint; using mint really helps to bring a calm yet focused energy to a space, great for things like studying or getting errands done

- bay laurel; another great one for getting rid of negative energies in a space, can bring a comforting and light energy to a space

✨ these herbs can be used in cleansing by creating a spray or bucket of mop water infused with your herb(s) of choice, you could burn them with proper ventilation in small bundles, drink them as a tea, etc, there’s lots of different ways to incorporate them! and remember to always be safe when sourcing your herbs :)

tension soothing bath spell

this bath potion is dual use, it can help release stress and tensions from your day, built up emotions and worry; but it also serves as a wonderful muscle relaxer~

[ what you’ll need ]

- rose quartz

love, compassion, healing, gentle energies, comfort

- clear quartz

mental clarity, cleansing, healing, invigorating, renewal

- white candle(s)

cleansing, charging energies, healing, clarity, wish granting

- a pink candle (optional)

love, compassion, gentle energies, softens self doubts, healing

muscle relaxer, soothes tension/stress/nerves, detoxes the body of negative energies

lavender serves to soothe, comfort, and add a soft healing love to the bath, while rosemary serves to invigorate, renew and protect your spirits and mindset

-

[ now what? ]

light up your candle(s) and arrange your crystals around the bath accordingly, add everything into the bath water itself that you’ll be adding, and if you’re using the epsom salts make sure you use the right amount to actually get the detox benefits! i recommend letting the candle light be the only thing lighting up the bathroom but ofc that’s not necessary if you can’t/it spooks you out

-

really hope everyone enjoys this bath spell! i’m definitely gonna be getting lots of use out of this one, of course as always feel free to ask any questions about the spell/process!

self love potion

this potion is great for invoking self love, healing, and calming; it allows you to become more patient and gentle with yourself, encouraging an environment of forgiveness and an inner sense of comfort.

you can pour some in a bath or use culinary grade ingredients and keep refrigerated to drink as a potion, you could keep a bottle by your nightstand, or gift a bottle to a friend/partner, and this would serve as a wonderful alter decor/offering for aphrodite or even fae, there’s plenty of ways to incorporate the potion into your craft!

-

*for this potion pink or red rose petals would work best but i suppose you could use any! white is also a good option here

**if you don’t have sea/pink salt don’t worry about substituting it’s better to just leave it out at that point, its not for the salts protective qualities but for the calming & healing effect sea/pink salts have!

[ now what? ]

this one is super simple to put together, all you’ve gotta do is get everything in a pot and simmer it on crazy low heat (barely any action just enough to coerce the infusion together)

strain and bottle up! you alternately could brew it in a bottle on a windowsill perhaps but don’t leave it there too long it’ll go rancid! be careful!

-

as always feel free to ask any questions about the potion/process! i really love this potion and i hope you guys do too!

apollo’s sun tea

hi there! sorry for my little hiatus, i came into a short rut with my craft but somethin came around and sparked some inspiration in me! so, you don’t have to be an apollo devotee to make this tea, and you can definitely use it for any of your deities that may like this like sol or even cernunnos, or just drink it in spirit of the sun’s energies! it’s super delish and cozy and i recommend it best served warm or nice and steamy hot :)

- 🕊🥮☀️

[ what you’ll need; ]

- black tea

- chamomile tea

- a cinnamon stick

- honey

[ steps; ]

- get your water to a nice n bubbly boil in a small pot/kettle device and drop your cinnamon stick in, begin to turn your heat down to low-medium

- as your boil softens, stir in your honey clockwise. choose this time to communicate or give a few graditutues, this part is 100% customizable and totally optional ofc

- once your boil is hardly a simmer, drop in your black tea, stirring intentionally for a moment or so then go ahead and drop in your chamomile and do the same

- take it off the heat right after you’re done stirring and let it brew for maybe 3 minutes or so, strain and enjoy!

- 🕊🌿🕯☀️

cleansing crystals

i actually got the inspo to put his post together from @let-it-bee! tysm for the suggestion :) so! below i’ll list a few different methods for cleansing your crystals, for both crystals that can and cannot be submerged in water!

- stormy bath

put your crystals out during a storm! the energy of storm rain is amazing for cleansing just about anything, alternatively you can just put them out during a good rain which will work really well too! (for a waterless option place them on the windowsill instead of outside during the rain)

- salt bowl

i’ve seen this used a lot for tarot decks too; fill up a bowl with some (i recommend coarse) salt, and slap your babes in there! i like to do this on a new moon especially, if you’ve got a softer stone or anything like that (maybe desert rose, selenite) i recommend just getting a smaller, empty bowl and putting your crystal inside that bowl inside the salt bowl, hope that makes sense :)

- smoke cleansing

this can be done with plenty different types of incense, just anything you associate with cleansing, personally i like dragon’s blood, sage, good earth, eucalyptus, and black pepper incense for cleansing!

- smoke cleansing pt.2

this time with bark! yes, bark!! i don’t really hear many witches talk ab this but you can dry bark out and it’ll burn pretty well for you, it’s got great cleansing and it’s got an extra earthy punch to it as you can imagine, barks like oak and birch are great as they’re pretty common and cleanse really well!

- smoke cleansing pt.3

herb bundles! herbs like rosemary, thyme, raspberry leaves, lavender, eucalyptus, juniper, and plenty more can all be used in herbal bundles for cleansing!! even flower petals! keep in mind that when you’re smoke cleansing you gotta have good airflow, safety first witches, crack a window or something!

- bury it!

this method is especially useful for earth stones ofc, for more delicate stones just put them in a small jar and bury that (the only time it’s ok to bury glass is when you’re takin it right back out) i recommend burying on a full moon or you could even bury it on a new moon and leave it there for a full cycle :)

- candlelight

this method is pretty straightforward; white candles are great for this, black candles also work well for ushering out negative/stale energies, but ofc any colour you associate with cleansing can be used here!

- nap time!

i’ve found more than a couple times that if i’ve got my crystals next to me in bed and i take a nice solid nap, most of them will feel much better once i wake up and handle them a bit, though i do notice this doesn’t do much for fire stones, but that might be a personal thing i’m not sure; anyway i highly recommend this for spoonie witches! or just anyone looking for a pretty easy way to try cleansing with super minimal effort

- bodies of water

i super recommend rivers or the ocean for this one, if you’re at the beach make sure you’re like basically only using quartz in the actual water and for very short periods of time then rinse with fresh water shortly after, not sure what else can withstand saltwater but i’d research beforehand just in case! rivers have really powerful cleansing energy and of course the fresh water is more forgiving to other water tolerable stones <3

-

i think that’s all folks! feel free to ask any questions or leave suggestions on ways you cleanse your crystals, i hope this was helpful! 🕊

gentle emotional healing spell

- 🎐🕊🌿✨🤍

good morning lovelies! this spell is honestly so great for when you’re really down and just need some good pure love. it can help you get out of emotional funks/pits, comfort you after a long bout of crying, calm you after a stressful day to get ready for bed, the possibilities are really endless here and i just love this spell!

white candle;

purity, cleansing, communication, energy, healing

sage incense; [optional]

cleansing, banish nightmares, purify negativity, love, happiness, healing

lavender;

purity, gentle energy, calmness, compassion, emotional balance, healing

thyme;

healing, energy, vitality, love, kindness, friendship, communication, prosperity, happiness, growth

charcoal disk;

invoking, completion of a spell, strength, power, banish negative energies, protection

moon water;

emotional healing/balance, communication, calming, empathy, renewal, protection, mental clarity

sun water;

energy, protection, healing, confidence, abundance, mental strength

clear quartz;

protection, mental clarity, strength, power, communication, healing

-

[ ok now what?; ]

light your candle, and your incense on its flame if you’ve chosen to use one, then prep your dried herbs on your charcoal disk, layering the lavender first and then your thyme, don’t light it yet! just place this behind or next to your candle, just need it close enough to charge but not in front of the candle

take your moon water and place it to the left front area of your candle, and the sun water on the right area, sit for a moment and meditate, or if you don’t meditate you can just focus on the candlelight for a moment then proceed

once you’re finished and present, take your moon water and get it on your fingertips then gently/slowly rub it across your arms from left to right, and then across your forehead in the same motion.

you’re releasing emotional tensions and turmoils, negative thoughts, stress/stressors, etc

take your sun water and essentially perform the opposite, taking it on the fingertips of your right hand, rubbing it slowly across your arms from left to right, and then across your forehead in the same manner

you’re invoking energy and renewal, emotional strength, confidence, abundance and happiness

once you’ve completed your spell, light your herbs and you can choose to do some sun salutations yoga, which i highly recommend, or just relax and listen to some calming music, just try to be relaxing while the herbs burn out, basically, and then you’re all finished! ☁️✨
