Merry meet everyone,
So today's question is: do you believe in ley lines, places of energy? Personally I haven't really thought about it before. I have seen it in tv shows and films but never really thought out it in our world. I wouldn't say I believe in the ley lines as such as people think they are in the tv shows but I do believe that some places are full of more energy than others. Take for example theres a mast murder 100s died. That energy builds up on that place where so many lost their lives. It may not be good positive energy but its still there. Its why when you walk past a house where someone has died a horrible death people believe they feel something like the spirit of the past victim. Just to make it clear I do believe in spirits but they are also made up of energy. So for me I do believe in places having more energy than others because if theres 100s of people either happy or in pain creates such powerful energy that it will linger for decades. Then theres the side where some places feel more centered and full of energy that you know that nothing like this has happened. I believe that so many people have put their energy in that area that it now holds onto the energy and boosts what mother earth has already put out. There are so many different ways you could think about this but for me I don't see how ley lines are a thing apart from whats stated in films and shows. I hope you enjoyed todays post and I will see you all in the next post. Blessed be x MissDoomie x Merry meet everyone, Today's herb is rosehips. All the information in this post is from an information sheet that I got in one of the many unboxing that I have done. I thought it would be a good idea to share the information and also would be a good idea to have a digital storage of the information for myself. Roses have been used for centuries in love potions, owing to the flowers association with emotions. Any part of the rose are powerful love- magic aids. Rosehips can be strung together to use as love attracting beads, they are also used in healing spells and blends. They can be added to fast luck oils, blends and mixtures. Add rosehips to protection spells to increase the power and the harm to none aspect, allowing a spell to be cast with love to all. They are said to bring forth the truth in a situation and bring peace. Many practitioners use parts of the rose to raise energies during acts of divination, it is said the rose helps to unveil mysteries and bring forth healing to those who need it. Use the rosehips whole in potpourri to help create a calm and relaxed atmosphere or crush and add to incense to bring a new dimension to your magical work. They can also be used as offerings to show love to the goddess or to attract friendly spirits to take up residents if you wish to work with those who have passed. The planet is Venus, element is water and the powers you can use this with include: love, psychic powers, healing, love, divination, luck and protection. I hope you find this post helpful and I will see you all in the next post. Blessed be x MissDoomie x Merry meet everyone, So its been over a year since I did my post with the 5 tips for beginners and I have found that there were more questions than answers for that post. So I decided to do a new updated post about starting the path to witchcraft and other spiritual paths and religions. I have done this in 10 sections which is where the 10 tips comes from. I am hopefully covering most bases in this post but then again the more you learn the better you understand and by next year I may understand more or have learned better ways to start the path. 1. RESEARCH Now I have seen so many people jump straight into witchcraft and not fully know what they are doing and why. I have seen people believe that witchcraft is very much like charmed on TV which is not. You have to do your research into witchcraft to fully know what your doing and why. I always recommend you start with the history of witchcraft because so many people think they know everything about it and they don't. They may think its all fun and games and that magick happens with a flick of the wrist which it doesn't. With all things you want to start you have to do your research into that topic. With witchcraft there are many aspects of witchcraft and topics you could start with but as a beginner you feel like your drowning, with no where to start. Cover the basic topics when you do start your research. For me the basics are visualising your intent, the history of the craft, tools and where magick comes from. There are so many different topics you can cover but start with one and focus on that until you are lead to another lead of information. Your path always starts with one step at a time and I have seen so many beginners leaping ahead with not fully acknowledging what they are learning. Slow down and take your time this isn't a race and there is no winners. 2. UNDERSTANDING & CONNECTION Now I covered this slightly in the first section but I am going into more detail here. You need to understand what your doing before you do your first spell or ritual. You need to understand where magick comes from and how to connect with it on a fundamental level. You need to first learn how to connect with the energies around you and how to visualise your intent to create your ball of intention that you put out when you do your spell. You need to learn the basic connection between your intention and the energy of mother earth that helps create the magick you put out. Like I stated before its not like in the films or TV shows you have to work on your intention that you are putting out into the world. For example you are doing a simple protection spell but your mind is thinking about an argument you had with someone else that same day and your not focusing on the focus of protection. Do you think your spell will work? The answer is not likely. You need to have a clear head and be able to focus your intention while doing your craft if you want to succeed in the spell you have put all this effect in doing. Now this comes easy for me now as I have been doing this since I was a child but I understand that it doesn't come straight away for some people. You need to practise and visualise your intention before you can do basic spells. There are so many different YouTube videos and books out there that can help you connect and visualise more focused which I still watch to this day. 3. WITCHCRAFT VS RELIGION Now many beginners believe that you have to be wiccan or pagan to practise witchcraft. This is not true. I am a pagan by choice, I grew up as one and thats all I know or connected with. I was a pagan before I started witchcraft and I always thought that was just a stepping stone for myself. I have seen that many witchcraft books out there are mostly wiccan based. You can be a Christian and practise witchcraft if you wish I know many Christians witch's that are happy who they are and have found peace doing what they do best. I know many elitists that think you have to be a wiccan to be a witch or you have to be pagan to be a witch. This isn't true and I find they are normally ass-holes that think they are better than you just because they think and believe they know all. Firstly you can not know everything about witchcraft. There is so many aspects of magick out there and so many new aspects being found and learned that no one can fully understand all aspects of magick unless you have been studying it since you were a child and your know 90ish and even then I dont think you can fully say you know all. I personally love being a pagan witch because I connect to this energy that calls to me. I found myself and it bettered my understanding of the world. This will be different for everyone but at least your not alone in the learning. I have been a pagan since I was 8 years old. I have been a witch since I was in high school. I was probably a witch before than but I never classed myself as one until then. So I have been doing this for 16 years and I can say I am still learning and I am still finding new aspects that I never really covered. Don't worry about what others think and just be yourself and just connect to the path in your own way. 4. BASICS Now for me basics is elemental and candle magic. Its what I started on and I found that candle magic worked really well in helping me go to other types of magic. You will always use candles within your craft is just one of those simple but effective ways to create your magick and learning the basics early will always help you in the future. I always have a look at what others class the colour correspondences as that is a great baseline but if you hold a colour candle in your hand and you connect a different emotion or purpose to that colour use your way. At the end of the day candles is a way to focus your intention of your spell no one is right or wrong on this front. Its how you connect with the tools you use. Another way to start is the elements, now most people connect with one or two more than the others. I personally connect with earth and water more than the other elements. That doesn't mean I dont use these elements in my craft or connect to them every now and then but for me personally I can feel connected to the magick of the earth when I am surrounded with nature or even when I am in the shower and there is water washing over me I feel the energy and the boost it gives me. My task for you on this is stop and listen. When your having a bath sit there and connect with the element, when your lighting a candle look at the flame and see if it speaks to you. When your out and about outside stop and listen to the wind, smell the nature and let mother earth connect you with the beautiful energy of nature. Let the wind lift you up and connect to air when you breath. You are more than lightly already doing this without noticing it. 5. NATURES TOOLS Now with witchcraft you can create magick with anything if your intention is great enough. You can collect items from nature to dress your altar (which I will mention later on) or plants that you can use with your craft. Many herbs are used within witchcraft and they have their own energies that help focus your intentions. You can go for a walk and a bird could give your a feather that you can use to connect with air or even to cleanse your home. You could find anything in nature that you can use within the craft. I always thank mother earth if I find anything to use in my craft because after all its a gift from her to me. The weather is getting warmer so spend more time with nature and see what you can find to use with your craft without spending any money at all. See if mother earth gives you a gift of nature. I am going to leave this here and do the other 5 tips in another post so this post isn't so long. I also don't want to overload you with information or food for thought haha. I hope you found the first 5 tips helpful and I will post the second half of this post in the next couple of days. Thank you all for reading and I will see you all in the next post.
