Witchcraft: 50 Things You Can Do In Your Daily Practice

What in the stars is a birth chart?

If you’ve been on social media the past few years, then you know the topic of birth charts has sky-rocketed in popularity. I’m sure you’ve been asked once or twice what your birth chart is, but what on Earth does it mean? Your birth chart, also known as a natal chart, is a guide on your personality, strengths and weaknesses, opportunities for growth, and the best timing for important moves. 

Your birth chart consists of 12 different signs and houses. Your birth chart is based on the date, time and location of your birth. It tells where the planets alignments were when you were born. These all play a part in who you are. Your basic zodiac sign is your Sun sign, this is purely based off what day you were born. When someone asks your zodiac sign you most likely default to this one. You have 11 other zodiac signs that give insight on you as a person. 

Each one of these 12 signs in your birth chart have their own meanings. They are:

Sun: Yourself, your main personality traits

Moon: Your heart

Rising: How you look and appear to others

Mercury: The way you think 

Venus: How you love 

Mars: How you deal with life and problems

Jupiter: You luck

Saturn: The way you discipline yourself and your responsibilities 

Uranus: How unique you are

Neptune: Your imagination

Pluto: Your transformation in life

Chiron: How you feel 

North Node: The way you develop in your current life 

As I stated before, knowing your date, time and location of your birth is very important, this allows for your birth chart to be more accurate and allowing you to see more about you. 

I will further discuss the 12 houses in another post. These also play a big part in your chart. Most people can discover basic information just from the 12 signs, but looking into the houses will give a bit more insight. 

These are many websites you can use to find out your birth chart, I find the most accurate site is here. If you are unsure of your birth time, you can check your birth certificate or you can contact your state's Bureau of Vital Statistics. You may also use 12 noon as the time, but you may not receive the most accurate results.

˳✧༚ ☽ witchy activities to strengthen your craft & relationship with yourself ☾ ˚✧⁎

☾ perform literally any type of self care! our energy is constantly being drained either in spellwork, studying, or everyday life. you deserve it. (take a shower, drink some water, make some food, etc. don’t underestimate the power of taking care of yourself!)

☾ get some air dry clay and have fun with creating! you can make witchy items such as a pendulum, pendants, offerings, amulets to write talismans/sigils on, etc. and it’s even better because you’re making it with your own intent!

☾ when stressed, take a moment to connect with mother nature. this can be done wherever, even inside. imagine you are sitting in the grass. your roots are intertwined with those in the earth. they are giving you energy and strength. remind yourself everything is in divine timing.

☾ decorate your bos/grimoire and make it more ‘you’! remember, perfection is a completely made up term to make people overwork themselves. it doesn’t exist. what works for you, is perfect. what’s made with your hands, and your mind, is perfect.

☾ create a witchy playlist for when you’re doing spellwork/studying witchcraft! music can be incredibly uplifting. i’ve even created a witchy playlist for my blog! (check it out if you want hehe)

☾ wake up with the sun, go to sleep with the moon. have daily conversations with them both. realize they are your friends and are always there for you.

☾ record when you make mistakes magically! i know, this sounds like a nightmare to most neurodivergents. but you can use this to your advantage! you will learn from them, and eventually figure out what’s works for you and what doesn’t. knowing what works for you will empower you.

☾ carve sigils into your furniture for further protection! (and i mean your furniture, not your parents, roommates or siblings. please don’t vandalize things that aren’t yours)

☾ don’t stress yourselves out over labels. it can be fun to be this and that, but there is absolutely NO obligation to call yourself a certain type of witch! i have some witch friends that simply vibe, and practice all types. you can simply be a witch if you’d like.

☾ create your own set of rules/reminders/moral code to follow (ex. bible). although a lot of witches that i’ve met usually all follow the same type of moral code; if you’re not hurting anyone/anything, or meddling in anyone’s life, do what you please.

☾ cleanse your room/home! you’ll feel better, and sleep better. you can do this with incense, sunlight, sound, or herbs (please only use white sage if you’re native or if it has been gifted to you by a native person).

☾ don’t let ANYONE tell you how to do magic! it’s your craft! it doesn’t concern anyone else but you. if someone tries to tell you you’re doing something wrong, pay them no mind. (unless they are telling you that you are appropriating a culture, or something of the sorts then LISTEN!!!!)

Today's herb of the day is Rosemary!

Gender: Masculine

Planet: Sun

Element: Fire

Magickal uses:

Burn by itself or with charcoal to get rid of negative energy and purification(especially before spells), wear while reading or completing tasks to improve memory of the material and aid in clear thinking, place in a dream pillow fo prevent nightmares, use an infusion of rosemary to wash hands before any healing magick, add to baths for purification, use in incenses for love and lust and is a good substitute for frankincense. Good for baby blessing, sleep, youth, love, faerie, cleansing, purification, memory, psychic power, longevity, exorcism, lust, friendship and healing workings.

Other uses:

Rosemary is used for improving memory, indigestion, arthritis-related joint pain, hair loss, and other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support most of these uses. In foods, rosemary is used as a spice. The leaf and oil are used in foods, and the oil is used in beverages.Extracts and the volatile oil have been used to promote menstrual flow and as abortives. Rosemary extracts commonly are found as cosmetic ingredients and a lotion of the plant is said to stimulate hair growth and prevent baldness.

Deities:

Faeries, Sea Spirit, Virgin Mary

that’s enough emotions for a whole year. ciao

bless op for this!!

I suffer from chronic migraines and medication sometimes only helps a little but this worked wonders!!

I made some slight adjustments that worked for me:

I added Eucalyptus to the mixture because it just felt right.

Instead of tea bags on my eyes, I just made myself a cup of mint tea (I’m always weary about putting tea bags on my eyes idk just a me thing)

I let a washcloth soak a little bit in the mixture (a minute nothing crazy) and placed it on my forehead once the temp was cool enough to touch

Just making the mixture and smelling it already relieved my pain. Relaxing in the bath and sipping on the tea made my migraine manageable.

Bless the person who sent me this, this may just be my new go to! ♡︎

Migraine Relief Bath

So I just finally got rid of 75% of my migraine (it’s at tolerable levels now)

Ingredients: -Lavender -Rosemary -Mint optional: mint tea bags I boiled the ingredients in about 2 cups of water for 5 minutes and poured it into a hot bath. For the tea bags I steeped them in the bath water and put them over my eyes.

Super helpful and it’s the first remedy I’ve found that works for my migraines.

banish the idea that platonic love is a lesser form of love

if you go through life not investing in your friendships the same way you invest in romantic relationships, you will always be looking for love, feeling lonely, completely blind to the love all around you

friendship is not a lower level relationship. it is not a lesser form of love.
