And so it goes, every weekend this same party, I never go alone and I don't seem broken hearted, my friends all say they know, everything im going through, I drive down different roads but they all lead back to you.
They don't know about the night in hotel, they were riding in the car when we both fell, didn’t read the note on the polaroid picture, they don't know how much I miss you! I wish I could fly-y-y, I’d pick you up and we go back in time. I’d write this in the sky-y-y, i miss you like it was the very first night.
And so it was, we never saw it coming. not trying to fall in love but we did like children running, back then we didn’t know, we were built to fall apart, we broke the status quo then we broke each other’s hearts.
But don't forget about the night out in LA, danced in the kitchen, chased me down through the hallway, no one knows about the words that we whispered, no one knows how much I miss you.
Cleansing for when everything has gone completely wrong, and you need to Restore Factory Settings.
If you’re anything like me, I can feel horrible months after something bad has happened. My entire body, house and environment can feel completely infested with awful energy and it clogs up my life. So, for when you feel like you’re dying a little, this is my Hard Reset Cleansing Routine to completely reboot everything.
Keep reading
A spell for when you are losing hope and you want things to get better.
What you need
Something to play music on This song (x) A white candle This sigil (x) Two pieces of paper A pen
What to do
Start playing the song and make sure to put it on repeat.
Sit somewhere where the sun can touch your face, preferably outside
Stretch out your arms as if you were trying to touch the sun. Take some deep breaths, imagining yourself breathing in the suns energy.
Carve the sigil in your candle, lighting it when you’ve completed it.
On the first piece of paper write down what is no longer serving you and what habits you want to get rid of.
Carefully burn it in the flame of the candle, taking a deep breath. As you exhale imagine all that energy that is on the piece of paper leaving your body and being burnt in the candle along with the paper.
Next write down what you want to enter your life in place of these things that are no longer serving you.
Fold the paper and drip some of the wax onto it. Carve the same sigil that was on the candle in the wax.
Keep the piece of paper somewhere where you will not lose it.
In about a months time come back and read what you wanted to enter your life and reflect on what has changed. Keep it as a reminder that things do get better.

Candle magic is one of my favorite type of ritual, because it is relatively simple to setup, and non-expensive. You just need a candle, and fire to light it up. If you want the spell to be even more powerful, feel free to carve symbols or sigils on the candle before lighting it. Then sit down, observe the flame, and think about a question that is worrying you.

🔥 Candle will not light: the question cannot be answered anymore, because things are already in movement, you cannot turn back now.
🔥 Strong, stable flame: the answer to your question is “yes”.
🔥 Weak, small flame: the answer to your question is “no”.
🔥 Dancing flame: there is chaotic, undisciplined energy present. You need to focus and meditate before taking any decision at the moment.
🔥 Crackling flame: spirits might be present in the room, and they would like to speak to you. Be open to their message.
🔥 A lot of smoke is coming out: the universe is helping you cleanse yourself and your room, leaving space for new opportunities and energies.
🔥 Candle will not go out: the spirits are telling you that the ritual is not over. Ask yourself if your question was the right one, or if there is anything that needs to be further discussed.

Saturn is my Master of the Nativity and that’s why I’m a Ravenclaw.
There is a lot to learn about Wicca/Witchcraft and sometimes it can get pretty overwhelming. Here are a few things you can research if you’re stuck! I made sure to include the absolute basics such as “Paganism vs Wicca vs Witchcraft” but also the more in-depth, yet still important, research items such as “History of Wicca”
This one will be updated regularly! (Version: 1, Last updated: 13th of February 2021)
