Merry meet everyone, So today I am going to be sharing with you a simple way to create an amulet that you can use in the future. This is one you could keep in your book of shadows for future use too. This is something I love doing when I feel like a new start is needed. So decide what 10 things you wish to acquire or achieve during the coming period, until the next solstice. Grab a piece of paper and write theses things down as if you have already accomplished them. For example "I have achieved my weight goal". For this you can use any paper or pens as you feel the need. Once you have written on one piece of paper you then copy it onto another piece of paper for going back to to keep focused. Now you have two pieces of paper with your list on both. Grab one of those and fold it in half towards yourself. Then turn it 90 degrees clockwise and fold it again in half towards yourself. Fold the piece of paper in some silver foil and then hold it between your palms and visualise as much as you can. Thats all you have to do. Keep this amulet with you all the time and have it in your wallet or pocket when ever you can. Even sleep with this under your pillow. Don't ever unfold your talisman though! When your wishes comes true you can then surrender the talisman into the fire, thanking its helping and blessing. I love this because its so simple to create and look after too. I hope this comes in handy for you in the future and that you enjoyed today's post. If you want to keep updated on all things away from the blog you can follow me on instagram @paganvibesonly. I post daily or as often as I can anyway so come join the group. I hope you are all staying safe and I will see you all in the next post. Blessed be x PaganVibesOnly x Merry meet everyone, So here I am again with another journal question for you all to answer this week. Today's question is what do you love most about yourself and why? I like this question because it helps you understand and realise how amazing you are even if you don't feel it at this moment of time. I did this recently for a friend of mine because she was down and I listed everything she has achieved on her own and proved how amazing she really was and it cheered her up a bit. So I am going to be answering this question for myself but I do hope you all think about this question and answer it because it will surprise you how amazing you all are at this moment. So what I love most about myself is that fact I don't give up. I am stubborn that way.Through out my life I never bowed down on a fight and even when people tried to knock me down I would get back up and fight even harder. I am also someone you want on your side because I will help anyone who deserves it and I will do everything in my power to help that one person. I have found that sometimes it has caused me more heart ache than worth with people using that to hurt me. I wear my heart on show and I care about people so deeply that it is a blessing and a curse sometimes. I love that I will always put people in front of myself and that can also be a problem when I need to focus on myself more. I love how creative I am but I hate that I never have the time to really follow my passions. I love how amazing I am as a photographer and it brings me so much joy when others comment on it. I love showing people how I see the world and thats my way of coping. I do hope you all answer this question yourself because it does make yourself feel better. I do hope you enjoyed today's post and I will see you all in the next one. Don't forget to message me your answers on instagram @paganvibesonly. Stay safe everyone. Blessed be x PaganVibesOnly x Merry meet everyone, So I bring to you another first impressions book review for today's post. Its another Celtic book of magic. I was recommend this book by a friend of mine as she knew I was looking for as much information about Celtic magic as possible and she even said this book really helped her understand it more. So I brought this book of Amazon and here we are. I will be sharing with you the huge blurb that this book has and then will be talking a bit more about the book. Blurb: "Celtic plant magic is the first working guide to the creation and application of plant based compounds for ritual, magical, and healing purposes based on the Druidic tradition. The ancient rites and lore of the Druids have always utilised a gentle alchemy to convert plant essences into potent compounds for working magical rituals. Through the respectful seduction of a plant's virtue, Druid alchemists are able to realise and collect the latent energy and magical capacities of that plant. The Druid then applies a series of processes to the acquired essence in order to maximise its power prior to its application in magical ritual. In this practical guide to the principles, processes, and hands on application of Druidic plant magic. Jon G Hughes shares the combined wisdom of his ancestral lineage. Celtic plant magic includes basic alchemical theory, instructions for creating all necessary tools, descriptions of magical compounds and their uses and how to prepare oneself for working with plant essences. The healing and magical properties of more than seventy plants and trees are provided. The author then applies this information to a Celtic sex ritual, demonstrating how theses compounds are used in specific magic and ritual practices. Celtic plant magic is a valuable manual for anyone wishing to harness the magical potential of plant energy. Jon G Hushes, author of Celtic sex magic, is part of a lineage of Druids that has been practising for five generations in a remote area of wales. He is now teaching the tradition at his home in western Ireland and gives workshops and seminars throughout Europe under his welsh name of Cynon. He is the director of the Irish centre of Druidic Practices". So that blurb was a mouthful and a half and while I was typing it I felt like I was back in high school doing science GCSE. This book is very much like a study guide for magic instead of science and while reading and typing the blurb out I had this strong connection to the book like I am meant to read it or something. I am really looking forward to reading this book and I do find looking through the book that its very school like in its teaching. Its a thick book jam packed with information and I really can't wait to start reading it. I hope you check out this book for yourself as it does seem like a great book to study and to learn from. If you are any Celtic books you want me to check out or that you recommend message me on instagram @paganvibesonly. I am always posting on there about my life away from the blog but full of witchy wonders and I am always just a click away for a good chat. I hope you enjoyed today's post and I will see you all in the next one. Stay safe and blessed be x PaganVibesOnly x Merry meet everyone, So I have been asked my a couple of my followers if I knew a way to stop gossip. Now I have this really simple but effective spell that I use all the time and again this post will be a short but sweet one because there isn't much to this spell. It's all using items that you have at home which is another great thing about this spell. So you first write down the rumour that has been spread about you or even if you know who is spreading this rumour their name on a small slip of paper. You then roll the small slip of paper up as small as possible and put it in a plastic cup or bottle and cover it with water completely. You then hold the cup or bottle in your hand and say: "Frozen solid, icy cold, Stop this story from being told" You then place the cup or bottle in the freezer overnight and let it freeze solid. Leave it there until the gossip dies down or the situation passes, then dump it out and recycle the materials. Its really that simple and easy to do. I do this all the time so its one thats tried and tested. I hope this has helped you either now or in the future and that you have included this in your book of shadows for future uses. As always you can follow me on instagram @paganvibesonly I post daily or as often as possible about what I am doing outside the blog thats witchy related. I hope you are all staying safe and I will see you all in the next post. Blessed be x PaganVibesOnly x Merry meet everyone, Its that time of week again with another journal question to get you thinking. Today's question is what else are you enthusiastic about? For me I have so much I enjoy doing and great passions that makes me so happy. My faith is such a big one as you all must know my now. I centre my blog around it and helping others in a way I didn't have and I am such a big art lover. I am a creative person by heart, so writing, painting, photographing all brings me nothing but joy. My planner is another great passion of mine because I love being organised and making my week spreads pretty is always such a relaxing project to do weekly. Working in my book of shadows is another one that brings me nothing but happiness. I am passionate about mother earth and looking after her in any way I can and also helping others. I also love home schooling my nieces which I never thought I would say but I have really enjoyed doing that and it just showed me how much I would of loved to be a teacher. I wanted to be a teacher when I was younger but I didn't like how other student s were treating my teachers at the time and it put myself of becoming one. I am passionate about being outside within nature and also my cats is such a big part of my life. I love animals its just who I am. I have so many different things that I an enthusiastic about that I can't list them all down haha. Whats your answer to this question let me know in the comments bellow or through chat on instagram @paganvibesonly. I would love to see what you are all enthusiastic about. As always stay safe and I will see you all in the next post. Blessed be x PaganVibesOnly x Merry meet everyone, So today is another first impressions book review. I have had a pile of books that I have been meaning to do theses reviews on for awhile and with the lock down being put in place it has given me the time to get through them all. I am really enjoying being able to get through my blog post list of things I want to get done too. Anyway back to the book a hand shall we. This book is called inner magic and I got this book in the January sales for £2 in a local book shop. Thats how long its been on my pile of books to be reviewed on. As always I will share the blurb with you and why I got this book in the first place. Blurb: "Inner magic is an illustrative and informative approach to contemporary witchcraft and the practices of magic. Placed in a historical and cultural context, there are explanations of the principles of witchcraft, the with in history and the rise of the modern witch. This book also shows you how to come a witch, what a witch is , how to cast spells and how to find your inner magic. Inner magic fixes the source of magical power firmly in the world around us, and shows us beneficial ways of using magic to enhance our spiritual selves. By weaving magic into our everyday lives in a more conscious and active way, this book offers readers the opportunity to discover their own spiritual path and magical potential". So the first thing about this book is its not a book I would normally get myself, I only got this book because it was £2 and I thought it may be a good read. From having a good little look inside its very text based which is great if you love reading information books with no pictures. I feel like this book is like a study book more than a book you would read for pleasure. I still haven't read through this book yet but with this lock-down being in place I may as well start reading it and see if it was worth the £2 spent on it. I will let you all know how I get on with this book in the future. As always you can follow me on instagram to keep updated on all things witchy and blog related @paganvibesonly and I will see you all in the next post. Blessed be and stay safe x PaganVibesOnly x Merry meet everyone, So I have been getting back into doing my dream journal and I remembered that I had this tea that could help me go to sleep as at the moment I haven't been sleeping well at all. This tea takes your dreams to that land of fantasy and wonder which is why many call this tea a tea for fairies. Many use this tea to honour the light and warmth we create with fairies and if you personally work with fairies then this is a handy tea for you. You will in an airtight glass container and mix together 1/3 a cup of each of theses, chamomile, diced prunes and local honey. You then add 7 drops of rose oil to appease Titania, the queen of the fae, the mother to all sprites and little ones. You brew this by combining 2 teaspoons of this elixir to 1 cup of boiled milk. To be assured of adventure and joy as you dream, sip this healthful warm tea just before bedtime and delightfully share a small cup or two with your house fairies as offerings. Please be aware that you are drinking this at your own risk and that sometimes people don't agree with the herbs used in this tea. If one of more of theses don't agree with you then please don't try this. You will be making this tea on your own risk. If you do make this tea and you get to dream loads of fantasy lands please share it with the rest of us either in the comments bellow or on instagram @paganvibesonly. I would love to hear what you all got to see with this tea. As always I hope you are all staying safe and I will see you all in the next post. Blessed be x PaganVibesOnly x Merry meet everyone, So I am back again with another journal question for you all to answer this week. The question is what makes you feel positive? For me personally I have learned to be more positive because it was a way for me to get past what happened in the past. At this moment of time what makes me feel positive is working on my blog and seeing that I am still doing something worth while even if I am not in work. I am loving having the time to work on blog posts like this which has given me something to do while my partner works as hes a key worker I am stuck inside going stare crazy otherwise. I always make it my point to see the good around me and even though its hard at the moment and I have had some very low days it has helped me get through this so far. I also stay so positive because I need to. I need to stay that way to keep my nan from being low and if I get low then I could stay there and I don't want to be in that place again. I also get a boost when I weigh myself each week and see how much I have lost and gotten here just by will. That makes me feel so positive about everything else. I am still healthy and kicking up a fuss so thats making me love my life at the moment. I can clean and room and see how much better it looks and it makes me feel positive. Being within my altar area always makes me feel positive but then I believe mother earth is watching my back at this hard time because shes the one who pulled me out last time I was so low so shes keeping me on the right path. I think its just a way I have always kept myself from falling down the rabbit hole. I would love to hear how you are all keeping positive within these times because it is hard to do but so worth it for your health. If you do need anyone to talk to I am here and you can contact me any time through instagram @paganvibesonly. I am always just a click away and I am happy to cheer any of you up. I hope you answer this question in your journals this week because it may help you feel more positive just by doing it. Stay safe and I will see you all in the next post. Blessed be x PaganVibesOnly x Merry meet everyone, Its that time of month again and we have been given a box of witchy goodies. I really enjoy getting these boxes and there amazing. As always I will go through all the information sheets first and then go into more detail about what I got in this months box. The information sheets included in this months box are: - Introduction sheet to this months box. -Information sheet about this months herb. - Information sheet about the witches pyramid. - Information sheet about this months crystal. - Information sheet about this months oil. - Spell kit information sheet. - Information colour correspondences sheet. Now to all the goodies in this months box!! The first item I collected out of the box was this amazing smelling lemon tea tree candle dressing oil. Now I love tea tree oils and this will most likely be my most used oil in my collection now. The information about this sheet is quite in depth which means I get to learn something new about my favourite scented oil. This oil is slightly different to other oils that are normally included in this box but they decided to include a plain oil instead to mix it up and I am so grateful for this. These oils can be used to dress up candles on your altar or even for your spell workings, they can also be included in oil burners, but I personally don't use them. The next item I collected from the box was the spell candles we always get in each months box. I love getting these candles in the boxes because they help stock my collection up. The colours I got in this months box include: two white, one yellow, one purple and one pale pink candles. These are always really handy for me because I use them so often. This months herb pot is a flower called heather and my nan grows theses in her garden. The pot smells amazing and its one I don't actually have in my herb collection so I will have to look this one up and see what its used for. The herb blend included in this months box was a hand blended mix by Freya that has properties linked to asking for spiritual guidance. Now I have been doing more spiritual guidance workings lately because I do feel lost within work ect. I feel like this is perfect for me at the moment and I will be working with ideas on how to use this blend. This months crystal is a beautiful red tigers eye tumble stone which will look amazing in my ever growing crystal collection. I love this crystal and I actually have two of theses style crystals already. The next item I collected out of the box was this beautiful pewter cauldron key ring which is now on my work bag because its amazing and super cute. I love a good key-ring. The next item is this super cute handmade cauldron candle holder which is an exclusive item for this box. I have a candle in it burning at this moment of time and it just completes my desk. The information included about this item also states it can be used as a offering bowl but I prefer the candle holder idea more. I also got some T lights included in this months box which I believe go alongside the cauldron candle holder that I mentioned above. These candles smell amazing and I am now wondering if I can buy some more when theses run out because there amazing. I also got this wooden altar tile which is really cute. I have seen others use the wooden tiles from older boxes colouring them in so I may use this to get creative. I normally use theses to decorate the altar for different themes. The last two items is really amazing and I am again already using them on my desk. The first is this beautiful wooden pyramid cone burner and the second is this amazing smelling guardian angle incense cones which has made my office smell amazing by the way! I love how this cone burner has a secret holder to hide a stash of cones in too which I will find really handy for my desk. Now you will have noticed that this month I don't have a spell kit to talk about. That is because the spell kit includes a lot of the items that were in this months box and with the information sheet that was included I will be able to create the spell and use everything in this box. I personally love this idea because you do find that some items just don't get used as often. Overall this months box was amazing as always and I really can't wait for next months box to come. Its like a present to myself every month and next month the box will most likely come on my birthday which makes me even more happy. I would highly recommend you try this box out because the information included is worth it alone not including all the goodies that comes with it. I normally change boxes by now but I just love this box too much to change. As always you can follow me on instagram @paganvibesonly. I am always posting about my planner bits and the witchy sides of my life. If you want to chat pop me a message as I am happy to speak to you all. I hope you have enjoyed today's post and I will see you all in the next post. Please stay safe everyone. Blessed be x PaganVibesOnly x Merry meet everyone, So I am here again with another handy working for your book of shadows that will come in handy in the future. This is a great little working to have for when needed and I have used this quite a lot in the past. For this working you will need a purple votive candle and a bowl of cold water. If you work with snow or rain you can use this in the bowl instead of normal cold water. Even moon water will help. You then light the candle and as it burns, think about a question or issue for which you would like an answer for. If you don't have a specific enquiry, you can ask 'what influences are entering my life at this moment of time?'. Once the top of the votive candle has accumulated a substantial puddle of wax without spilling over, carefully dump the wax into the water all at once. When the wax cools, take the wax out of the water and flip it over. It will have solidified into interesting shapes as it hit the cold water. You may be wondering what the wax lumps and bumps will mean. You may see animals, objects or faces. How you will decide what they mean is first feeling or focusing on the wax lump. Then in your mind see what pops up when looking onto the waxy lump. This is normally the answer to your question. I would also write down your impressions so you can go back to them later. This is a really simple way to get answers if you don't own any divination products because you are using candles and water which most witches have now a days. I hope this has helped you a lot and that you do decide to add this to your book of shadows for future usings. If you wish to keep updated about all things away from the blog then follow me on instagram @paganvibesonly. I hope you are all staying safe and focusing on your own self care and I will see you all in the next post. Blessed be x PaganVibesOnly x |
