— A Complete Guide To Understanding Your Black Moon Lilith

✿❀ baby witch tips ❀✿

☾ do your own research! take everything you hear with a grain of salt.

☾ research all herbs you use wether it be for spells, candles, etc. note which herbs you cannot ingest.

☾ check thrift stores/dollar stores before making an expensive purchase! a lot of my favorite witchy items have been under $5. (of course, shop ethically when you can!)

☾ note which crystals you can charge with sunlight, and those you can charge with the moonlight.

☾ be open to making witchy friends! comparing crafts & tips is a great way to learn and grow.

☾ pendulums can be made on the spot with a needle and some thread.

☾ don’t have an incense holder? grab a jar, and fill it with some himalayan salt. now you do!

☾ don’t forget that you don’t need any fancy tools or expensive ingredients to be a witch; your personal power and intention is always enough.

Being mentally ill doesn't make you less of a witch.

Your medications are important and they help your magic, they don't hinder it.

Your deities understand if your worship is different because of your mental illness.

Your deities have thousands of years worth of experience with every type of worshipper, including ones with mental illness.

Your witchcraft is beautiful.

Witch tip: When you pick up candles from the dollar store, go for ones that come in sealable containers! Once the candle is used up, you can wash out the glass and use it to store herbs in a neat, decorative way 🌷

✨ how to send good vibes! ✨

In the spiritual, metaphysical, and witchy communities, you’ll hear a lot of people say things like “sending love” or “sending good vibes”! fun fact, most people don’t know how to actually do that haha. with a little bit of practice and basic understanding of energy, it’s actually very easy to send simple healing energy to someone. before we jump in, it’s important to note the ethics of energy work. A L W A Y S ask for permission before doing any kind of energy work on someone.  even if you’re only sending positivity! there’s a difference between praying for someone/keeping them in your thoughts and actually sending them energy. you never know how your energy will affect them. maybe they’re not ready to heal. or maybe they’re doing their own healing and your energy might throw theirs out of balance. only do energy work on people who are open to it! 🌙  ✨✨

set an intention of positivity. this is vv important! make sure you make it clear that you only intend to send positivity. I like to say something along the lines of: “may this energy be filled with nothing but love and light” or “my intention is to send only that which is pure”.if you want to send bad vibes, just set the opposite intention (not that I recommend sending anything negative lmao)

get into a meditative state and positive mindset! you can’t effectively send someone good energy if you’re not in a good mental state, first. take some time to breath, meditate, listen to some relaxing music, eat, etc.

visualize that the person is in front of you. Imagine every detail of their appearance as if they’re physically in the room with you. it might take a while to create this image so take your time and breathe through it. don’t rush!

imagine a ball of bright light glowing and expanding from the center of your heart. this is referred to as your heart chakra! feel free to play around with different colors while visualizing. green symbolizes healing energy, pink is the energy of love, and white is cleansing energy. these are the main colors associated with the heart chakra.

next, hold your hand to your heart and imagine your hand absorbing that healing/loving/cleansing energy. at this point, you might physically feel a pulsing or warmness in your hands. make sure you’re still breathing and taking your time!

extend your hand towards the person you’re visualizing and imagine that the energy is flowing through your palms and into their heart center. the pulsing sensation may get stronger at this point! If you don’t feel a pulse, it’s fine. I promise it’s still working!

keep sending the energy until all of that light is drained from your palm!

to close out the session, visualize a waterfall of white energy washing over you and replenishing your energy.

congratulations, you just completed some basic energy work bby! there are so many ways to go about sending energy but this is my favorite way. It’s quick (should take 10-15 minutes) and perfect for beginners!

12 Days of Shadow Work

This is a for-starters, by-a-starter little “challenge” for witchblr that I came up with, based on questions I’ve already asked myself or plan to ask myself in the process of doing shadow work! Super simple concept, just one question per day. Since there’s only 12 days, you can spread things out through the whole month of December to give your mind and emotions a break! 🎄 Day One: What does my inner child want that they never got? Put it on the Christmas list. 🎄 Day Two: What is something I was taught to hate, and how do I unlearn that? 🎄 Day Three: What is something I internalized that I need to let go of? 🎄 Day Four: What is something negative that I say about myself? Why? 🎄 Day Five: What is a physical object that hurts me to keep around? Donate it so it can become someone else’s joy.

🎄 Day Six: Who do I need to forgive? (A direct conversation is not needed, but you can opt-in to that IF you feel prepared to do so.) 🎄 Day Seven: What do I need to forgive myself for? 🎄 Day Eight: What is something you wanted to learn but were never able to, and why did it interest you? Reflect on why it was attractive. 🎄 Day Nine: What kind of people am I attracting into my life, and how does this effect me? Reflect on what patterns/cycles are occurring. 🎄 Day Ten: Who do I miss? Reflect on what was so impactful about them. 🎄 Day Eleven: What is something you loved that you had to leave behind? See if it can be dived back into. 🎄 Day Twelve: What have the last eleven days taught me about myself? Reflect on how you can use this moving forward. And that’s it! I hope you guys enjoy!
