Merry meet everyone, So I have been asked by quite a few people ways they can still be connected with witchcraft but within their busy lifestyles. So I decided to put a list together that I personally use and do when my work does take over my life. I have always found it hard to balance both my basic and witchy side and this will hopefully help you as much as it has helped me stay connected. So here is 10 easy low effect witchcraft ideas that you can do within your daily life when you feel your too busy to sit down and focus on things. The first is tea magic. You should all know by now that I love my tea. I have a good cup of tea in the morning to wake me up and in this time I normally do a tea blessing that I have written myself. Its very simple its a cross from a morning blessing and a charm for my day ahead. If your not a tea drinker do it with coffee. If you use loose tea leaves then you can always read your leaves after. Another great way I have seen other witches do on a daily bases is creating sigils that you can wear hidden and that will bring you luck, protection anything you want really depending on what you create as a sigil. I have a friend who does this and to be honest I am tempted to do it myself once I learn more about them. The other thing which is really close to my heart is crystals. You can wear them, carry them in your pockets or even just have them out on display on your desk at work or at home. I personally do all of them haha. I love crystals because they are all super helpful and the energies I personally get of my crystals are amazing. Speaking of crystals I have brought some amazing new additions to add to my collection which will be in a post later on either this month or next. You can always meditate for 5 minutes. Either on your lunch break or before you go to bed. I normally close my eyes before I leave my bed in the morning and focus on what I want to do that day. I then do it again before I go to bed at night and think about everything I achieved and everything that I don't need to carry on to my next day. Its always a great idea to clear your mind before you go to sleep anyway so this is a great way of doing that. Journals! You should all know me by now to be a big lover of journals. Now I have a journal for most aspects of my life and my witchy ways. I always find working in my journals to be a great way to connect to my witchy side even if its just 10 minutes a day. I have a divination journal that I have been doing daily one card pulls each morning and then writing down what the card means for that word or question. I have found this was a great way to connect with my card deck I was using that day and has really brought myself closer to them also. Another great journal idea is gardening if your a green thumb type of person then writing your journal out about your plants and what works or doesn't work will help a lot. Then theres the book of shadows that you can just carry around with you daily. I have two books of shadows. Ones a notebook I carry around with me to put notes ect in and ones my official one I keep at home. This is another great way to stay connected. Daily blessings is another great way to just get your witchy-ness out. Like I said before I do this connected with the tea magic but you can do this by just washing your face and cleansing yourself for the day ahead, or even while hovering your home do a blessing of protection. Its all about being creative while being busy! Being one with nature is always a good way to stay grounded and connected as a witch. I normally do this walking to and from work because then I am spending time with mother earth and also going to work to earn pennies. This is also a great time to focus on what needs to be done within your magical path. I spend the time thinking of what I want to do on my days off and then making a mental note or todo list for myself haha. I also love spending time in the garden and just feeling the energy of mother earth surrounding me. Bath salts and showers are also a great way to cleanse yourself but also to connect with water. I only have a shower in my flat so I use a fabric bag full of bath salts I have mixed and tie that around the shower head. I then do a cleansing blessing while washing and standing underneath the bath salts. I visualise the water cleansing all the negative energy away from me and I do this once a week. I normally do this on my days off because I can be in the shower doing this for about 15 minutes were as when I am getting ready for work I only have a 5 minute shower haha. Candles! Candles are such a great decor item for your home but also a way to stay connected. I always have a jar candle on my desk so when I am doing blog posts like today I can also connect with my witchy self and have my candle going and my incense but thats another item for another day. I do hope you find a way to connect with your witchy side while having a busy lifestyle. I know lock-down has slowed some of you but then theres still kids to be looked after or even partners haha. If you have any helpful low effect witchy tips you would like to share send me a message on instagram @paganvibesonly. I am always asking you all questions and advice on there so keep connected and follow me. I hope you enjoyed today's post and I will see you all in the next one. Stay safe :) Blessed be x PaganVibesOnly x Merry meet everyone, I thought that today I should share another handy spell for the spell chest. This one has been in my book of shadows for many years and has been really handy when I wanted to call up some more abundance. This spell is very simple in the way it involves concentrating on prosperity while you are stringing up symbols of abundance. For this I normally use unflavoured popcorn because its the traditional symbol and after you have finished with it you can put it outside for the birds to eat. I normally do this around winter though where many traditions have popcorn stringed around for Yule decorations. You can also use nuts which again after you have finished with the string you can put it out for the birds to eat. Peanuts may be sewn through the shell, but most nuts are too hard which means if you have to glue them on to the string dont give them to the birds. I personally use pennies and other coins around this time of year as they are ideal for representing prosperity. I know some witches use gold plastic coins but again real pennies work a lot better. You can glue these in a sandwich around the mono filament line or as I do glue two pennies together with the string in the middle. I also know some witches that add craft mirrors to theses to make them more pretty and they keep them around the altar. I love this style of workings because theres no need for candles, or chanting its all about representing a focus and creating something amazing for your altar. I hope this comes in handy for you all and that you share what you make with me on instagram @paganvibesonly. I am always just a click away and I post daily about my tarot journal and other witchy aspects that I may not speak about on here. Come check my page out and join in on the fun. As always I hope to see you all in the next post. Stay safe and blessed be x PaganVibesOnly x Merry meet everyone, So I have seen a lot of people have taken interest in the last couple of moon posts I have done so I thought I would come with you today with the different moon meanings for each month and what you could do each month to use theses monthly moons. The information I am using for this post is from my book of shadows. I can't remember where I got it from because its written down but please be mindful that its your connection to the moon that also matters. I will start going through each month and add bits that I personally do to, just to give you some ideas. January: This time is to help conserve energy by working on your personal problems that doesn't involve anyone else. It is also a great time to cast protection rites and reversing spells you no longer need. This month the energy flow can become quite sluggish and below the surface. For me personally I use this month to cast blessings to help me improve this year and what may help me more forward. I also find it really handy to do protection spells for my home too. February: This month is all about loving yourself and accepting responsibility for actions you have created in the past. Theses may be errors in judgement or just what you put out there in the universe. This is also a great time to forgive yourself and making plans for the future. At this time of year the energy flow is still working towards the surface a bit like mother earth herself. I always find this month handy to do spell work on growth and healing. March: This month is all about new beginnings and breaking illusions. You can also use this month to see the truth in your life however much it may hurt you. Again the energy in this month is breaking into the open and that means its a good time for growing, prospering and exploring your magic. This month is all about the balance between light and dark. April: This month is all about working on your emotional balance and working on underlying issues you may have within yourself. The energy flow in this month is great for creating and producing a good time for change. You should be taking advantage of the opportunities that comes your way and building on your self-confidence issues. May: This month is a great time to focus on strengthening the connections with the spiritual protectors and other beings around you. This months energy flow is in full force making this a good time for working on your intuition, propagating and connecting with our great mother earth and the nature spirits whom are now awake. June: This month is all about making decisions and taking responsibility. It is also a great time for rewarding yourself for positive traits. This is also the month the earth tides are turning and making this a great time for protection, strengthening and prevention spells. I also use this month to spend time with mother earth herself. July: This month is a great month for dream working and divination. The energy flow is now slowing down and becoming more relaxed, this means its an ideal month for success and prosperity spells. August: This month is all about harvesting and gathering all the great crops. Its also about appreciating what the earth has given us to cover ourselves over the winter periods. The energy flow is slowing more now and that means this month is a great time for vitality, health and friendship workings. September: This month is all about organising and strengthening your mind, body and soul. Removing all the clutter in your life and helping you clear the path ahead of you. The energy flow for this month is now starting to rest which is great for workings on cleansing your home and self care. The dark and light sides of the earth are now balanced. This month is also special for myself because its my birthday month and I also do workings of good luck for the future ahead. October: This month is all about inner cleansing and letting go of baggage that you may have been carrying around with you all year. Its also about balance and inner harmony. This month is great for mediating on the balance of karma and working on your emotional control. November: This month is all about working on transformation. It is a great time to prepare for the coming winter season and time to strengthen communication with your deities. The energy for this month is taking root and preparing to flow once more for the winter seasons. December: This month is all about working on your spiritual path. Its also a month which the earth tides are turning and renewing oneself. This month is a great time to reach out to friends and family and helping others. This month is also about the death of one story and the renewal of another. Overall if you feel one month is better to do your spell workings than another follow your gut because its all about what you connect better with. This is just a simple guideline that can help you connect with the moons more.

Anyway back to the task as many of you know I love my crystals and green aventurine is one of my favourites just because of the energy I get from it. Many of you will most likely know that is crystal is well known for the stone of opportunity. That is because it is thought to be the luckiest crystal of them all especially in manifesting prosperity and wealth. There is also some people out there that use this crystal while playing games of chance because they believe it will increase their odds. This is a really great crystal to have in your pocket when your doing interviews or doing anything that leaves it to chance because this will help boost your chances in any situation, you will only need it in your pocket while doing theses tasks. I actually lent mine out to my partner when he was doing his driving test which helped boost his odds at passing. This crystal isn't just for luck but also for opportunity, it helps you to release old patterns, bad habits and also helps remove disappointments. This is so you can create new growth and focus on the positives in life. This is a great crystal to being optimism into your life and the zest that you may be missing at the moment. It will also allow you to move forward with confidence and to help embrace well needed change into your life. Green Aventurine is also known to be able to enhance one'd creativity and to help them be more motivated in their projects. Its a great crystal to have when there is obstacles in your way because it helps you solve them and helps you to move past theses problems in your path. It also reinforces your decision making abilities and can help to amplify your qualities of being a leader. This could be handy within your current job? This crystal is also well known to be connected with the element earth. It has the power to help you better understand and appreciate the great power of nature and its amazing vibrations that it has upon your mind, body and soul. You can wear aventurine to help absorb electromagnetic smog and can protect you against environmental pollution thats surround you at this moment. This crystal is also handy for soothing the balance in your body and help guiding your energy to inner harmony. I personally use this crystal for helping me calm my nervous or anxitiy because its such a great crystal for that. It helps to dissolve the everyday stress of my busy lifestyle and enhances my sleep-full nights too as I have this crystal next to my bed. Overall this crystal is such a great one to keep in your crystal collection and for me personally its really handy to have while lock-down and this virus is all about. It has really helped me sooth my anixity and helps me focus on what needs to have my intention.
