Protection Oil

I recently started up my practice again and the first thing I made was a protection candles and some oils. I haven't shared any witchy things in a while so here is how I make protection oil.

You can use any oil, I prefer to use olive oil. I also put red pepper and a rose thorn in there because I like them. I would also have added egg shell powder but I didn't have any. You can tailor this to what ever you have one hand. The world is your oyster do whatever the fuck you want. You can wear this oil, lock mirrors, windows, add to spells, ect... Personally I like to put it on before I do spell work. Stay protected witches !

Olive Oil

Salt - purification, cleansing

Sage - protection, hex breaking

Red pepper - baneful protection

Parsley - protection, purification

Thyme - protection

Black salt - protection, dispel's negative energy

Rose thorn - repellent for negative energy, baneful protection

Tigers' eye - protection

A petition with intentions

Edit :

I forgot to add this the first time.

Do not put fresh herbs or shit that has water in it into your carrier oil. It can create botulism. Make sure everything you add is dried.

3. Traditional Imbolc Rituals

Lighting Candles

Since Imbolc is a fire festival, lighting candles symbolizes the returning sun. You can:

Light a candle in every room at sunset.

Arrange candles in a circle and meditate on the growing light.

Use a red, white, or gold candle to represent Brigid’s presence.

Brigid’s Blessing & Invocation

Invocation of Brigid: "Brigid, goddess of hearth and home, Bless this space where I now roam. With fire and light, your warmth impart, Renew my spirit, heal my heart."

Leave a piece of fabric outside overnight to absorb Brigid’s blessings, then use it throughout the year for healing or protection.

Place a small bowl of milk on your altar as a symbol of nourishment and fertility.

Thank Brigid and the spirits for their blessings.

Bury or compost food offerings to return energy to the earth.

“Becoming a witch is an awakening, a remembering, an initiation. It’s a chant to ‘come home, come home, come home’, because even when you feel like you’re lost, you’re not.”

Pendulums in Witchcraft 📿✨

Hello darlings 🥰

The enchanting pendulum has been used for centuries to tap into the realms of divination, providing insight and guidance on our spiritual journeys. Let’s explore the fascinating world of pendulums and how you can use them in your own practice:

📿 What is a Pendulum? 

A pendulum is a weighted object attached to a string or chain. It acts as a sensitive tool that responds to the subtle energies around us. Pendulums can be made of various materials such as crystal, metal, wood, or even a simple object like a ring. They come in different shapes, sizes, and colors, each carrying its own unique energy.

🔮 How to Use a Pendulum

Set Your Intention: Before using your pendulum, it’s important to set your intention. Clearly state that you seek guidance, insight, or answers to specific questions. This helps establish a connection between you and the pendulum.

Cleanse and Energize: Start by cleansing and energizing your pendulum. You can use methods such as smudging, visualization, or placing it in the moonlight to clear any unwanted energies and charge it with positive vibrations.

Establish Yes/No Responses: Begin by asking your pendulum to show you its “yes” and “no” responses. This can vary from person to person and pendulum to pendulum. It might swing back and forth, side to side, or in a circular motion. Take note of the specific movements for your pendulum.

Ask Clear Questions: To use the pendulum for divination, ask clear and specific questions that can be answered with a yes or no. Hold the pendulum steady in your hand and observe its movements. The pendulum will respond by swinging or rotating in a particular direction, indicating the answer.

Trust Your Intuition: As you work with the pendulum, trust your intuition and the messages it conveys. Pay attention to the subtle energies and vibrations you sense. Sometimes the pendulum’s movements may feel more intuitive than a simple yes or no response.

Practice and Learn: Like any divination tool, using a pendulum requires practice and patience. Spend time getting to know your pendulum, understanding its unique energy, and refining your connection. The more you work with it, the stronger your bond will become.

🌟 Using Pendulums for Healing and Decision Making

In addition to divination, pendulums can be used for energy healing, chakra balancing, and decision making. They can help identify energy blockages, locate areas in need of healing, and provide guidance on important choices. Trust your pendulum as a tool for self-discovery and personal growth.

Your pendulum is a sacred tool that amplifies your own intuition and connection with the spiritual realm. Approach it with reverence, trust, and an open mind. Enjoy the journey of exploring the hidden realms of wisdom and insight with this enchanting divination tool.

May your pendulum bring you clarity, guidance, and a deeper connection to your inner wisdom. Embrace the magic! ✨🔮
