I planned to post my video review of Patti Wigingtons new book Herb Magic, An Introduction to Magical Herbalism and Spells at 2:00 pm 5/30/20, and I did. Just a couple minutes later while I was sharing it out my daughter Brittany called me to let me know that the SpaceX launch was happening in 5 minutes! Oh my goodness, I was really excited about the launch, but also didn't feel like trying to compete with THAT for eyes! Egads!
So I stopped everything and Dan, my son Tristan and I all watched the launch, we were all silent, Dan and I a little teary-eyed, one of my first memories is watching the moon landing on TV, and Dan did Space Camp several times. Then out of nowhere we heard a song playing, "It's been a long time, getting from there to here..." It was the theme song from Star Trek Enterprise! Tristan looked up from his computer, shit-eating grin on his face, because he had planned the whole thing, and we all busted out laughing! I love my family so much! Then I got a text and apparently my daughter Chelsea had texted "They've gone to plaid!" Which of course is a quote from Mel Brooks classic comedy SpaceBalls!
All my kids really made me smile today, and I got to share the launch with them in different ways. If you're heading over to YouTube to watch it, you're invited to drop by my channel for a witchy book review and you can enter the giveaway while you're there. Bring it back down to earth while we talk about Herb Magic, An Introduction to Magical Herbalism and Spells by Patti Wigington.

Black Salt Recipe- My Secret Method Revealed
I love using black salt for protection magic and there's lots of other uses for it too! I had a bag of black salt my sister gave me from Hawaii and when I ran out I tried to make my own. I tried recipes that used all different kinds of ash but they resulted in a grey colored salt. I used it for magic, but I really wanted to come up with an improvement.
I put together and experience watching my son in law doing some old school mountain man stuff, my experience as an artist, and my love of working with tree magic and came up with an amazing black salt recipe that make salt black as night, is inexpensive and uses stuff you probably already have around the house, and is so powerful!
I just had to share it with you. I also included 13 great uses for witches black salt, so if you decide to make a batch of your own, you've got some ideas for how to use it in your own wonderful witchcraft.
Blessings,
Mickie

Meditation for Self Love on Beltane
Meditation for Self Love on Beltane This guided meditation is the fourth of The Witch’s Meditation Studio Series.
Here's a funny story, I woke up this morning and listened to the meditation that I had uploaded the night before and heard a big ole "sniiiiffff" right in the middle of the video which I had forgotten to edit out! Ohhh that would be jarring to hear if you were trying to meditate! So I re-edited the video and uploaded it again deleting the old one. I lost those views on the video, but it would mean that my viewers would have a much nicer meditation experience, totally worth it. I talked about self compassion and forgiveness in the meditation, so this was an opportunity for me to practice that myself. I'm owning it, but not beating myself up over the mistake. It's fixed and I'm ok with that.
This meditation is a good way to celebrate the sabbat of Beltane, but you may use it any time you need to nurture self love within yourself. Self love is important to being a well balance human, boost your self esteem, and can help point you towards having a happier life. Past generations may have been convinced that self love is not allowed, but we’ve come too far to go back to that old way of thinking, when we treat ourselves properly, we’re better at treating others well also. I’ve created a self love altar for you to gaze at if you wish, or you can close your eyes during this meditation. Included on the altar are a silver bowl filled with moon water, a pink candle and five Star of Bethlehem flowers. English ivy, rose quartz, and selenite towers. The incense is made of roses, I wish you could smell it, it’s divine! I set up this altar space with the intention that the vibrations will enhance your meditation experience whether you choose to gaze at it or not.
I’m a Reiki Master/Teacher and I’ve charged this meditation with Reiki energy to assist you on your journey to open up to self love.
Blessings,
Mickie

Take
some time to think about or meditate on the beliefs you hold that limit you.
What do you carry that feels uncomfortable, heavy, or oppressive? If it feels
heavy, it’s not yours, it’s messages that others have placed on you that are
not in alignment with your true self. Those beliefs might have served to
protect you in a time when you needed them, like the hard shell of a seed
beneath the earth. When that seed is nurtured with the water of true emotions
and the light of the sun shines down truth through the dark soil, the seed
pushes through that hard shell and can grow into exactly what it was meant to
be. No seed was meant to be just a seed, it was meant to grow, feel the sun,
feel the breeze, and blossom beautifully, and so are you!

Write
down the limiting beliefs that are your hard shell. Ask yourself where these
beliefs came from and recognize that they are not yours. After you’ve examined
each one, read them out loud, and after each belief that you’ve identified
state, “This is not my belief” and do this with each belief on the list. It’s
ok if you only have one or a couple. Light the list from the candle and allow
it to burn and fall away as ashes without judgement into the fireproof dish as
you release yourself from those false obligations and ideas that are not yours.

Now you
must ask yourself, what do you want to replace those beliefs with? How do you
want to see yourself, what would bring more balance to your life? Write those
down on a separate slip of paper. Read each one aloud and after each truth that
you have chosen for yourself state, “This is my truth, this is my own.” Hold that list to your heart and as you do
gaze at the candle flame as you imaging the soft rain falling upon a garden
bed, the warm sun shining upon it and speak this affirmation:

Place
the list near or under the candle and let it burn down. Now bury the list in
some soil, it can be a potted plant in your home, or in a park, or you can
plant it along with seeds or a plant when you put your spring garden in. May
you bloom into your authentic self, free and authentically you!
