A Witches Journey: spells, gratitude & pay it foward

The journey of embracing my inner WITCH came from seeing the magick in nature. The moment I acknowledged my plants to be magickal is when this blissful opening of the WITCH inside of me came Alive.

I begun to find holistic ways to be present & grounded, to be mindful, to look into thyself and be aware of the magic all around us. You become appreciative, you don’t take anything for granted that the earth and mother earth has given us.

My ancestral pandora boxes began to open up. I began to gather my gardening skills, herbal knowledge, intuition, and plant medicine and joined these skills together. I begin with creating a blog, which took me many endless days with no sleep! I self taught my media knowledge! I created my blog on mental health, to sharing love letters and now my witches magick! My blog has become a combination of all the magick and journey’s that make up who I am!

In sharing my smoke-bundles with the world has become an honour. I find grounding through creating spell-jars, smoke-bundles, sometimes fairy lands, mystic bath salts and many other inspiring crafts.

Each night I cleanse myself & space with a new mantra each time. I end my day in gratitude to help ease the chaos of the day. I want to always try to stay present within me so my spirit can continue to grow.

I take evening walks to observe and be connected to nature. I gather tools such as; juniper, pine and cedar, to add these to my spells or crafts.

Juniper is magickal in its scent, energies and its herbal magick! Juniper is so pretty due to its space & berries. The juniper represents in strength, carries wisdom, is useful in magick & health, and stunning. It can survive harsh weather and with very little water.

Pine is known for the hearths & home protection. Pine holds its colour all year round and is a beauty during a snowfall. It represents healing, protection, cleansing, and money. Burning pine needles brings protection to your home. Having pinecone s throughout the home wards of evil entities.

Cedar is known to repel negativity and bring in purity. It is as sacred as white sage. It helps the hearth and home balance. It clears your shadow and brings in a sense of grounding. Cedar is often burned during prayer and chanting.

Grounding spell:

  • Gather cedar on your walks and bring it home. Place a few branches along the doorways and at your altar.
  • Gather your cauldron or burner and place a charcoal disk. Light the disk and place one clove, piece of pinecone, small amount of cedar and s piece of cinnamon.
  • Allow it to smoke up and move the spoke around your self, space and outside under the moon.
  • Light a orange candle and state: mother earth embrace me with you magick to be able to share the brightness that shine within me with those around me.
  • Mantra: I am here for self snd others. I embrace the acts of kindness and paying it forward.
  • Then one day this week pay it forward to a stranger with a tea or coffee or food.
  • This will bring in grounding, abundance and gratitude. Make sure to explore with your herbs, flowers and begin manifesting and documenting your magical spells/ dreams and hopes.

I wish all of my followers a wknd that brings in new beginnings, moving forward, happiness and a tranquil heart!

Bless Be: So mote it is🖤

The rebirth of an Imbolc celebration…

A share of some facts…

💕Imbolc is a pagan holiday celebrated from February 1 through sundown February 2. Based on a Celtic tradition, Imbolc was meant to mark the halfway point between the winter solstice and the spring equinox.

💕The celebration of Imbolc dates back to the pre-Christian era in the British Isles. The earliest mentions of Imbolc in Irish literature were found in the 10th century. Poetry from that time relates the holiday to ewe’s milk, with the implication of purification.

💕It’s been speculated that this ritual stems from the breeding cycle of sheep and the beginning of lactation. The holiday was traditionally aligned with the first day of spring and the idea of rebirth.

💕Imbolc celebrations took the form of a festival in honor of the pagan goddess Brigid, who was evoked in fertility blessings and oversaw poetry, crafts and prophecy. Brigid was worshipped by the Filid, a class of poets and historians among the Celts of ancient Ireland and Britain.

Today it’s celebration are:

🖤Gather your items for seeding, planting and preparing for your spring gardens.

At the same time look within you and begin to seed change. To look at what needs to go and what no longer serves you.

🖤Cleanse your home. Welcome a new year with letting go of things no longer needed and rearrange your home. Sweep it out and complete a spiritual cleanse.

Look within and cleanse the parts that needs to be released. Begin your healing process. Allow rebirth in your mind, body & soul.

🖤During Imbolc take a break from social media and allow enlightenment without distractions. Be present in the celebrations.

Acknowledge what are your influences. Acknowledge what no longer serves you. Begin to make positive changes to allow a higher vibration.

🖤Honour the warrior that lives inside of you. Allow it to bring you strength, courage and resilience.

Create a journal that concentrates on manifestation in guidance of the lunar cycle. Begin your rebirth journey into a new refreshing year of harvesting.

Cleansing ritual to eliminate negativity

How to begin self reflections & healing with a spring clean:

💕When you’re looking at creating a space, cleansing space & eliminating the negativity that surrounds you….. you need to always look within you first.

💕You need to look internally, and heal yourself.

💕Because if you are not in love with yourself, you are not able to love others in a genuine & unbiassed way. As their will never be enough and you will always question their love but not if you love yourself cause that will always be enough.

💕If love does not begin with you: those moments, those trips, those friendships, those relationships, those things that you purchase….. will only sustain your happiness for small moments and you will be back where you started.

💕Begin with finding gratitude each morning & each night, journal your thoughts of positivity, and let go of the things that no longer fits you.

💕We are all able to find happiness within us, but it must start with us. We are the magic. We are the founders of our happiness.

💕This is something you need to work towards daily.

💕Eliminate those illusions through the shows you watch & the people you follow…. Everyone behind the curtains has a story you do not know about. Be honest with yourself and do the WORK!

Bless be….

Creating a Magickal space:

Manifestation’s 🖤🌜🦌🦅💕

Dear Friends,

Sharing knowledge helps us develop our own spirituality, healing and higher vibrations!

My spiritual journey manifested during my disappointment in never birthing a child. I had to turn to myself and find the strength to stay true to ME.

Once I started on this journey in depth, I started dreaming of my experiences with my Avos. When I was a child I didn’t acknowledge the magick my Avos empowered within their daily routines! They always created a magickal garden full of nutritional foods and medicine that they used in their cooking each day.

They created tinctures to heal wombs, cuts, colds and moments of sadness. They also used tinctures to ward off evil entities, warding off negativity, cleansing space, and seeing the future.

During the early 1800s these tinctures/ powders/potions were seen as witchcraft and many women were set on fire for practicing. As we have all learned that FEAR is the driving force of many of these atrocious!

I didn’t really understand the magick my ancestors displayed until later in my life journey. My mom displayed these gifts throughout her journey and I learned from her.

My ability to run a household in a mgickal spiritual flow was adapted through my mother. My mother is connected to mother earth, plants, soil & grounding. It lives within her soul, spirit & mind.

Those gifts shine through in my gardening, cooking, seeding, grounding & spirituality. My bliss of the world is seen through the colours of flowers.

My witch side has grown stronger in its connection to mother earth, grounding & connecting. It balances my spirit, which reminds me to always pick kindness even in darkness.

Creating smokebundles allows me to use the sacredness of my herbs, flowers and plants. I can feel my plants, hear my flowers sing, and my trees strength.

I have grown in my relationship among my plant ally’s and connect in witnessing their colours, shape & smells.

I become connected to natures life, six years ago. My trip alone to Turkey/England & Scotland. My soul was roaring and its vibration spoke to nature. Since than, I have held butterflies, touched the back of a bumblebee, petted a wild deer, and am gifted with random animals on my drives.

It’s magical when you are able to tap into the things around you as you do in a human experience. I am honoured, I am gifted, I am happy for the mystic powers developed with our Mother Earth.

In Portugal many witches that were herbalists their intentions were meant to manifest lightness. To help others find hope, dreams, that would heal their spirits.

Being a green witch allows me to be open, to be light, and battle darkness. You build your intuition, and trust in who you are. The universe begins to Empower you when you open up To the universe through grounding & connecting.

I hope to continue in my learning of plant medicine, herbs, plants, seeds & flowers. I adore gardening. Are you aware when you play with soil it ignites your serotonin to release and battles depression.

My garden is my heart as it finds peace, calmness, happiness and healing moments.

I encourage all of you to begin understanding your moon-phases and plant to its cycles and witness its magick. The moon gives your gardens strength, psychic abilities, and strengthens intuitions.

Keep attention as your walk and see all the magick around you!

Mantra for today:

So mote it-is,

Mystical, magickal MOTHER EARTH:

A month filled with mystical, magickal moments through the connection of spirit. Through our harvesting season we connect with the earth in a gratitude manner. You appreciate the food you are able to source. You begin cutting, sealing and packaging your fruits of labour… to be stored for the winter season soon upon us. To have witnessed a seed turn into seedling into a plant and than food is a mystical moment.

In these moments, I am reminded of our ancestors and of their knowledge passed down to us. We are always connecting to the land in a holistic way. The soil that you touch helps ignite your hormones to produce your serotonin, which in-turn helps manage depression.

We are able to grow our own medicines through plant medicine all there for you to reconnect and learn and connect with the magick among mother nature. Mother nature is here for us all no matter race as we each are a part of this land.

Bringing us towards the celebration of Samhain which honours ancestral love, land connection and new beginnings. Before we get deep into this stage of the wheel… let us acknowledged this beautiful season called fall. Look around and take notice of the bright red tops of the trees that shines among our bright sun, which gives our sunsets a golden red/pink. These are moments to cherish!

To see nature gathering their foods, storing and eating so they can hibernate for the winter. I often see squirrels digging through my soil to hide their nuts, and each morning they arrive again to dig them out and eat! Though they make such a mess it is a pleasure to witness their work!! They add to our ecosystem and keep the cycle of nature moving.

I am in love with the sound of the wind and its dance, as you connect your body to the wind around you, you move in a dance, as the trees sway with the winds present.

When you get up and take that brisk walk it heals you and calms your thought as nature heals. Begin to give mother mature your attention and your views will never be the same!!!

The beauty of the sky embraces your smile, the forest heals your soul, the flowers cheer up your heart and the animals keep you grounded.

With Love,

LucyLu
