Merry meet everyone, Today I will be sharing a special spell that a friend had added to her advent calendar that I brought. This is one that I would like to do myself but with where I live isn't possible. I do hope this is one that you can do yourself and that you let me know how you celebrated yule. On the darkest night of the year, what we call yule. Gather together three dried leaves of holly and pulverise them into a powder. On a clean, four-inch by four-inch piece of paper, write a single word in red ink that represents what quality you would like to be born within yourself along with the newborn yule sun. Sprinkle the holly powder into the centre of the paper, twist the whole thing closed with the holly powder inside. Light the wick of a red candle, and from this flame, light the holly filled paper on fire. As it burns, see your wish is fulfilled. This spell is now done. See you need to do this outside where I can not I do hope you will be able to do this for yourself for your yule celebrations. I wish you all a blessed yule and a merry christmas. I will now be on hoilday for three weeks and should be back posting on the 12th of January next year. I hope all your wishes come true over the Yule period and I will see you all in the new year.

From how I personally have celebrated Yule and some good ideas and tips that may help you have a blessed Yule this year. So for me personally Yule is celebrated from the 21st til the national Christmas day. This is because I work retail and I am normally in work up until Christmas day. So instead of doing a whole day of celebrations I do it over a couple of evenings. The main Yule day I will light my Yule candle (One that I have blessed and carved with my wish for next year) and I would sit in front of my altar and write down on a sheet of paper my wishes for next year. I then will add it to my new wish chest that I got in the Freya's Cauldron box last month. I did have another one but it was too big for what I use it for so I have gifted that to a friend of mine. I then have my altar fully lit with candles for each night up til Christmas. Depending on the day I will add an offering bowl of seeds and herbs, A glass of wine or water (if I have wine in). I do have some bits I keep personal for myself depending on what I would like to manifest for the following year. I do spend time reading through my book of shadows where I keep the history of Yule and why we celebrate it because I love reading about it to be honest. Now to give you some ideas on how you could celebrate Yule this season: - You could empower mistletoe for healing and prosperity in your household. - Research the history behind yule and of st nick. I love reading about this so I hope you do too. - Make your own Yule log, I did this last year with a small log chunk and I had holes put it for the spell candles. I had ribbon and leaves decorating it and it was beautiful. It didn't survive my family on christmas day though. - Make puppets with your children to add to your family altar to represent the oak and holly kings and their journey. - You could bless your Christmas cards that you send to friends and family this season. They don't have to be Yule related to send them positive energy. - You could make a list of things you wish to let go, as Yule is a time of closure and where near beginnings happen. Think back on the past year and see whats been holding you back or causing you problems. Write them down on white paper and once you feel your ready to let go, burn the white paper in a cauldron to show the end of that story. You may do this for things you do not need as well. - Sit in front of your altar and meditate or prayer. You may pray for anything you wish but this is another great way to connect yourself to Yule this season. - Cook a feast. This is normally what I do on Christmas day as my whole family comes to celebrate but you may do this on Yule as well and celebrate the end of the year and the beginning of anew. If you have any ideas on how to celebrate Yule this season let me know bellow in the comments and I will see you all next year. I wish you all a blessed Yule and a very Merry Christmas. Blessed be x MissDoomie x Merry meet everyone, This post is something that can bring in the yule celebration without having to cast a spell as such. This will help you connect with the yule celebrations even if you have a busy daily life like I will over this season. I was again given this by a friend of mine in a advent calendar that I brought from her shop which I will link bellow for you to check out. This is something I will be doing myself because I may not be able to celebrate Yule my way this year. You will need: - 1 cup of young pine needles, fresh, crushed. -(to eat) Dried spearmint leaves. -(to eat) Dried rosemary leaves. -(To eat) dried chamomile flower. - 3 cups of water. You pick young pine needles from a healthy tree, crush and roll the needles, chop them into two inch sections if desired. Dont forget to wash all ingredients before you cook them. You then bring water in a pan and boil it, once boiled remove from heat. You then add all ingredients to water and cover. Steep until all the pine needles have fallen to the bottom of the pan and then strain into a mug and enjoy. Please be careful what you use and make sure its all food grade items as I don't want any of you becoming ill after trying this tea. I hope you enjoy this tea and let me know how you go on. Check out my friends shop, its full of goodies for everyone! https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/CraftyPlanningShop?ref=simple-shop-header-name&listing_id=746774192 I will see you all in the next post. Blessed be x PaganVibesOnly x Merry meet everyone, So today's post is about a very festive herb that is such a great one to have in your collection over this season. Mistletoe as you know you hang up and the tradition is that you and a loved one have to kiss underneath it. But theres more to Mistletoe for the magical side than just meets the eye. You can use mistletoe for protection, its a great herb for protection and has been used for many years because its especially strong against negative forces. Its why around christmas many people hang them up to protect them from unknown forces. You could use this herb in sachets and carry it around with you, this helps guard your against misfortune of all kinds and brings you luck while you have it on you. Everyone needs some luck this time of year too, so very handy to have. Mistletoe is also very useful in spells to do with love, healing, luck and is also associated with yule. Which isn't surprising knowing that theres a tradition based on it. Many Yule spell works ask for mistletoe because its such a great herb to use around this time of season. It can also enhance your Yule blessings. Place small bags of mistletoe around your home to protect the property from negative energies, handy tool if you wish someone to leave you alone. Use mistletoe in rituals to cleanse your property if there is a negative air or energy that surrounds your home. This for me is what I call spring cleaning! :D I do hope you add mistletoe to your herb collection because it's such a great herb to have and you never know when you need it. I will see you all in the next post. Blessed be x PaganVibesOnly Merry meet everyone, So for my birthday I got a pile of really amazing books that I haven't had the chance to read or do a post bout so I am quite behind on my book reviews which is why theres so many at the moment. Like I have done in the past I will share the book blurb and talk about what makes me drawn to this book. Like I stated before I got this for my birthday so I didn't buy it myself. Blurb: 'Learn how to decipher the secrets hidden in the hands. Everything you need to know about this ancient practice, from analysing palms to fingers and fingerprints and even the back of the hand, is fully explained. Find the talents, the potential for life and love, and the challenges within yourself and others. In focus palmistry includes a beautiful illustrated 18 x 24 inch wall chart that gives the key elements about palmistry in one handy reference point. From the life line to the heart line, and all the other lines around them, start your personal journey today.' The reason why I was gifted this book was because I mentioned that I wanted to learn more about palmistry and how to read peoples hands. Its one subject that I don't know much about and I am really looking forward to learning more about this subject and being able to read my own hand and my friends in the future. I am not sure if I will have the poster up that I got with this book yet as I am in the middle of redoing my home haha. I would recommend you all to check this book out and let me know what you all think about this book. I hope you enjoyed this post and I will see you all in the next one. Blessed be x MissDoomie x Merry meet everyone, Today's post is the last Freya's Cauldron box of 2019! And as always they have not disappointed, in fact they went beyond what they normally do. As always I will start with the information I got in this months box and I will go through a couple of changes they have mentioned that will be going in future boxes. So the changes they are putting in place is new packaging and a new layout for they welcome letter that we get each month. Their new packaging is to cut down on plastic used within their boxes. I completely stand by them on this because we do use too much plastic without needing it shipped to us as well. They never had much plastic in their packaging anyway but I would like to see what they have planned for next year boxes. Also they have a new logo which looks amazing. This new logo will be on everything coming forward and it looks so professional, I am over the moon for them. Now to the information sheets included in this months box. So like always we get a welcome letter in each box telling us information about each product and why they have added it into this months box. This months theme is all about moon magic, so a lot of the products included is moon related which I am over the moon for! The second sheet of information is a two sided A4 sheet all about moon magic and useful information we should all know when doing moon magic. This information sheet will be transferred into my book of shadows because its always handy to keep. Its one of the reasons why I personally love this box because of the amount of information add into each box and also the products are well thought out. The last sheet of information is again two sided A4 sheet full of information about the crystals and the pots of herbs/resins we have gotten in this months box. As always if they have added different herb or resin pots in each box they will include all information even if you didn't get that pot in your box. I find this is really helpful either way because I learn different information about products I may want to buy from their shop. So again I love theses sheets of information. The first product I got out of this months box was the anointing oil. Now I love the anointing oils that we get in each box because they are so handy to have in my collection. I am even running out of storage for them so I am looking into a bigger storage container for them because they amazing. Anyway this months anointing oil is a full moon candle dressing which is specially blended for this box. This means you may not be able to get this oil of their website. I say may because they could add it in later on. The letter states this oil is a strong blend and can be used for spell work during the full moon to raise the power and energy. Now I am planning on doing some moon magic in the next month of so, so I will be using this oil. I always find that they add anointing oils that I need that month which is amazing. As always I got some spell candles in this months box. I just love the spell candles and there so handy to have in your collection. I actually have such a good collection of each colour now that I need to find a better way to store them. If you have any ideas on how to store them let me know because I am stuck. This months colours for the spell candles are orange, yellow and white. Theses are really handy to have because I always use those colours. I would also like to state that the candles they add in their box or even on their website are made in the UK and they make sure they dont contain any animal products. I love how they stand by this because many candles are produced over seas and you just don't know whats going in them. This months herb pots included in this box was Maidenhair which I have never heard of, so I love getting new herbs to read into and look on their uses. This year I have learned so many different herbs that I would never of thought of getting myself, its why I always stand by getting theses style boxes because you are continuing to learn about different things. I also got a pot of guggle resin which I have never heard of again. This is one of the products in this box that may have changed if you got this box yourself. Thats why I stated before the information sheet have all the information about all the resins included. I will have to look into this resin and see if I personally will use it. If not I may send this to one of my witchy friends. I also got a magical blend of good tidings which is to be used with your spell work for this season. I love the smell of this herb blend and may add it to a pillow that I am planning on making. I also got a pot of full moon special blended salt that has been blessed and is perfect for your full moon spell work. This will come in handy for my spell work this month. The next item I got out of this box was the crystal chunk. Now this one I will have to keep away from my cats because it isn't good for them. This crystal chunk is a rather big piece of Himalayan salt. Now I had to get rid of my Himalayan salt tea light holder I got in a past box because of the reason of my cats. If your cats lick the salt it can be fatal for them. Its why I got rid of mine. I will most likely keep this locked away because I do like Himalayan salt I just need to put my cats first. As always I got information about this chunk which will be added to my book of shadows. The next item I got out of this box was the jewellery item. This is a beautiful nature's gift product. The one I got was a fluorite pendant. This is beautiful and I just love getting theses products. My jewellery stand is full of items like this which is beautiful. It makes me happy to see all my jewellery pieces I have collected form theses boxes. As always we got a spell kit in this months box, this months spell is a quartz candle moon spell. I am looking forward to using this spell kit. I love getting theses spell kits its so handy to get and they fill my book of shadows too. The next couple of items are beautiful and I just had to leave them for last. I got this beautiful selenite tower which I am well made up for. I was looking into getting one of theses for my altar so was well made up to get this in this months box. If you want to see my altar, then check my instagram account for more images. @PaganVibesOnly I also got a beautiful badge that I will be putting on my new bag. Its a beautiful triple moon badge and as a big lover of badges this will be a great addition to my ever growing collection. I also got this beautiful moon magic print which has a beautiful black cat in the middle of it. This card is from the shop Cat Mad Gifts and if you wish to grab yourself one or even check out their website here it is for you. www.catmadgifts.co.uk Overall this months box has been everything I wanted and needed this month. With that being said I am very lucky to have been gifted a surprise in this months box. Freya's Cauldron for Yule this year added three gifts to boxes and then addressed them so they didn't know who would get them. I got this beautiful moon phase pentagram necklace which is sterling silver so I can actually wear this too. This has really cheered me up because the past 6 and a half weeks have been hell for me and my health. I will most likely go and do a post about this in the future when I am told more news but this has really cheered me up and made this week bearable. I would like to thank Freya's Cauldron for this special gift and for also creating a beautiful box of goodies for us all to enjoy. I personally buy theses boxes with my own money thats how much I love theses boxes and I would highly recommend these boxes to you. Check them out and let me know if you do grab a box from them. You won't be disappointed. As always I will see you all in the next post, I do hope you all enjoyed this months Freya's Cauldron box and as always there will be another next month too. Check out my Instagram account to be updated with all things me and witchy. I am always on there speaking to people so send us a message I am always one message away. Blessed be x PaganVibesOnly x Merry meet everyone, Today's post is going to be a small one but a useful one for this coming season. This 12 herb Yule sachet is from Freya's Cauldron that I got last month in the box. I saw this and thought it was such a great and handy little way to celebrate Yule and to create something beautiful. You will need: - A small fabric bag (you may make one yourself also) -12 herbs: - Juniper - All Spice - Orris root - Caraway - Rosemary - Cinnamon - Orange peel - Bay leaf - Nutmeg - Ginger - Clove - Lemon peel You then grab a bowl to have all theses herbs mixed into to before you add them to your fabric bag. You first add in 7 parts Juniper, then mix in 4 parts All-spice. Then add 4 parts Caraway, 2 parts rosemary and 2 parts Orange peel. Mix then herbs together before adding the rest. You then add 1 bay leaf, 4 parts Nutmeg, 4 parts Ginger, 2 parts Cinnamon and mix together with the rest of the herbs. You then add 2 parts lemon peel, 1 clove and 2 pinches of Orris root. Mix all 12 herbs together well. This should create a beautiful scent too. You can now add this mixture to your fabric bag and add decorations to this bag such as a pentagram charm like I do. I normally make two or three of theses bags as I gift two of them to family members to add to their trees for the season. I hope you have fun creating your 12 herb Yule sachet and I will see you all in the next post. Blessed be x MissDoomie x Merry meet everyone, Today's post is a unity spell using holly and ivy. This is another special spell that I was given to my a friend of mine. For this spell you use the traditional holly and ivy plants for a spell to unite a partnership or friendship, or even to strengthen the bonds within a household or family. Tie together a sprig of holly and ivy with a red ribbon. These plants have long been used in folklore for the winter holidays. So they should be easy to find within your local area. Holly is considered to have the masculine energy and is associated with fire, while ivy has the feminine energy and is associated with water. Both have the qualities or protection and good fortune, and theses two combined can represent balance and strength. They are basically the yin to the yang. Perfect harmony. Speak theses words as you place your holly and ivy bundle in a prominent place in your home: "Bring us balance and endurance of the evergreen, with unity that no misfortune can ever come between" This is another great spell to do around yule because it uses plants that are around this season and also its a simple spell to bring harmony before all your family get here for christmas! I hope this helps you over the christmas period and I will see you all in the next post. Blessed be x PaganVibesOnly x Merry meet everyone, Today's post is all about the herb red clover. I love the smell of this herb because its such a beautiful smell. The information in this post I got in one of my subscription boxes. I am only sharing this information to help my followers. This herb's planet is mercury, the element is air and it has many folk names. The folk names include: Purple clover, cow grass, marl grass, trefoil, wild clover, beebread, cow clover and meadow clover. The red clover is often used for fidelity, love, money, protection and the blessing of domestic animals. You use this in a green bag to bring luck with money. Sprinkle around your home or use as a floor wash remove negative spirits and bad vibes. It is often used in lust potions and will bring luck in love an matters relating to marriage. When worn over the right breast it is said to bring success. Place red clover in your fairy garden, it is said to be a favourite among the fairy folk. Add to bath water to aid you in dealing of financial arrangements of every kind. I hope you learned something new today about the red clover and that you find this post helpful for your future learning. I will see you all in the next post. Blessed be x MissDoomie x |
