IMBOLC FIRE AND ICE SPELL

I've decided to share some content from the craft articles that I wrote for the 2017 Llewellyn’s Sabbats Almanac. Since it's Imbolc, I created a Imbolc Fire and Ice Spell that uses the ice lantern DIY from the Imbolc craft I wrote. This is a beautiful way to celebrate Imbolc, for new witches or advanced magical practitioners. You can easily alter the idea too, so that it can work for Yule or any full moon in the colder months.

We had lots of ice earlier this month, it coated everything in sight. I don't like to drive on it, but it's enchanting to see everywhere else. I took some video footage of it and decided to add it to this video to use as an example of the magical properties of ice.

I’ll show you how to make these beautiful and easy to make ice lanterns and use them for a spell to remove the obstacles in your path!

Witchy Tip: If you make them in advance of your celebration, you can empty the water out of the frozen balloon shell and leave the balloon in place, keep it in your freezer until you’re ready to use it! Witchy Tip II: Add a drop or two of food color to your balloons before filling them up if you wish to add color correspondences to this spell! Witchy Tip III: Or….you could add an herbal infusion to the water when you fill your balloon to add extra magical correspondences!

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this beautiful spell and have a safe and happy Imbolc!

Be Your Magick!

Grounding and Centering, A Witchcraft 101 Essential Practice

Everything feels so stressful right now, and I had mentioned to my awesome therapist that I had felt a bit out of my head lately and even had moments of feeling disconnected where things didn't seem real. Looking back I realized that this has been an ongoing problem. Everyone doesn't feel this way? Because I've been doing it from time to time much of my life. She said it sounded like dissociation/depersonalization which is a stress response that helps our brain to deal with trauma. She then proceeded to teach me some grounding techniques, ones I wasn't familiar with. I told her that's also a technique used in witchcraft...yes my therapist knows I'm a witch, did I mention she's awesome?! So I told her how we witches do it and described the tree/root method, one that she didn't know about. It occurred to me that I have fallen out of some of my basic practices and also that there are many practices that we only use in spell-work, ritual, or circles that we can also use in our everyday life! I also thought to myself that the grounding techniques she taught me that are used in psychology can also be applied to witchcraft, and that is how this video came about.

Grounding and centering is a witchcraft 101 technique that every witch should know. These practices are witchcraft essentials to help you to be able to focus better on the outcome of any spell, and send more energy towards that outcome. I have simple meditative methods, herbs for grounding, stones and crystals for grounding, and even foods that can help.

New witches, baby witches, and seekers will want to take notes, seasoned witches will probably benefit from new ways to look at tried and true practices. If you want to cast more powerful spells, it's not about the spells, it's about your ability to make it all happen, these methods will help get your mind, body, and spirit ready for spiritual work of any kind. You can also use these methods for everyday life to help you stay focused, balanced, and in touch with yourself.

Revisiting this mainstay of witchcraft with new eyes has really helped me in this crazy difficult time, maybe it will help you too.
