Merry meet everyone, Today is another spell chest post with a helpful blessing or spell that can help remove all the negativity that is surrounding your home or work place. I have used this a lot within my home when I feel that we have argued a lot more than normal or when the air just doesn't feel right. This post will be another short but sweet post, with a handy spell to include in your book of shadows for a rainy day. You will have to do this spell at least eight hours before the moment the sun enters Capricorn or cancer and have some salt water somewhere placed on the floor of your home or workplace depending on where you are cleansing. You then focus your intentions on the glass bowl full of salt water and ask it to trap all the negativity within the salt water and out of the place it is in. Then let it rest there for at least eight hours. I normally do this over nighttime so it doesn't get knocked over. Afterwards take it and throw it in to the sea if possible, if you can't then pour it down the drain and pour plenty of clear cold water down after it to take the negativity away from your household. Its a handy blessing you can keep for when needed and I would say keep it in your book of shadows for when it is because its helpful. Anyway thats another short but sweet post done for the today. I hope this post has helped you out a lot and does come in handy in the future. As always you can chat with me on instagram @paganvibesonly, I am only just a click away and always happy to help or chat when I can. 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 today's post is going to be another short but sweet post because I have decided to share another great blessing for our sun this time. This is a great one to keep in your book of shadows and is handy around this time of year because the sun is out in full swing blessing us with heat and sunshine. We should all appreciate the power of the sun. The sun is always there we can neither control nor command the sun and his amazing power that he blesses us with. For this blessing you need a little space around you. You can do this either inside of outside but make sure you can see the sun himself. Strike a yoga pose, or lift a burning sage bundle to our golden sun. Say the following: "Praise our sun, Blessed orb of golden light, Which lights our days and warms our nights, Without you we could not be, We honour you with love, respect and humility" Its such a simple blessing but very effective and it also shows how much you honour our sun who is always doing his best to help us. I do hope you use this blessing and you found today's post helpful. If you want to keep updated on all things witchy related thats away from this blog then follow me on instagram @paganvibesonly. I post daily about what I am up to away from the blog. I also post questions and if you just need to chat I am only one click away. 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 with everything going on in the world outside I thought it would be a perfect time to share a handy little blessing that I do each week when I am having a shower to cleanse myself. This blessing is a handy self care blessing for your soul, it will put you at peace and also remind you of whats important. I have been doing this each week now since lock-down begun and for me it really has helped me focus on what is needed and what I shouldn't focus on. Its probably why I am as focused as I am at the moment getting all the blog related stuff sorted while I do have the time. That being said this is always handy to have in your book of shadows as its handy for those busy weeks were you just need some time free for yourself. When you set out doing this blessing do it in the morning, either when doing a shower or bath. Begin your day by clearing your calendar, reschedule all appointments if you can and grab yourself your favourite CD or playlist that you wish to listen to. Light some blue candles for peace and relaxation in your bathroom and drop some pink rose petals and rose oil into your tub. Now for me I have theses placed premixed into a fabric bag that I tie around the shower head so I can have the same effect because I only have a shower in my flat. Undress and step into your bath or shower and let the water wash all your worries away. Focus on the water covering your body and how peaceful water can be. Once you are ready to leave your bath or shower you can then spend the rest of the day unwinding. Don't make any plans and limit any conversation with others because you want to focus on yourself today. This day is for you to heal, replenish and nurture your mind, body and soul. We need theses more at the moment but its really helped me feel good being stuck inside too. I hope you find this spell helpful and I will always be on instagram @paganvibesonly if you wish to talk or ask any questions. I post daily on there about my life away from the blog and what other witchy aspects I get up to. As always I will see you all in the next blog post, stay safe and don't forget to focus on your self care this week. 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, Today I will be sharing with you another book of shadows spell that a friend of mine sent me last week and I thought it would be handy to keep in our spell chest here on the blog and also a good one to share with you all for your own books of shadows. You will need: - A couple of white candles, any shape or size. - A mirror, - A moon card from a tarot deck You will begin by placing and arranging your white candles on the mirror, just use what you have available in your home. You will need to leave room in the centre of the mirror. In that space you will have to place your moon card from a tarot deck. Don't worry if you don't have a tarot deck though you could always draw a moon on a piece of paper if needed. The moon card is traditionally known to represent intuition, dreams, uncertainty and illusion. You will be using this spell to help refine your powers of intuition and perception. You will need to let the powers of the full moon increase your understanding that you may not always see the total picture. Let this card remind you to look closely but also to trust your intuition. We can't relay solely on our intuition or what we see, we need a balance of both. Light each white candle in turn and chant: "Reflect the truth, help me see, beyond mirage and mystery, Let illusions be dispelled, intuition be upheld, let the moonlight be my guide, revealing where the truth can hide" Once you feel the energy of the moon light guide you sit there for awhile and be one with it. Once you are ready blow each candle out one and a time and come back to your normal routine. I hope this helps you connect more with your intuition and that it is a handy spell for you in the future. As always you can follow me on instagram @paganvibesonly to keep updated on my daily witchy life and what I am up to away from the blog. I hope to see you all in the next blog post. Stay safe and blessed be x PaganVibesOnly x Merry meet everyone, I thought this would be a handy spell for the summer season. Its normally when you are doing all your gardening projects and where you find a lot of gnome statues in peoples gardens. That being said gnomes are really helpful beings that provide strength, steadfastness, endurance and the ability of transmutation. This spell helps you to invoke them when you feel weak, unruly or in a danger of being led astray. You will need for this spell a black candle and a simple rock large enough to at least nearly fill the palm of your hand. I normally use pebbles because they fit perfectly in my palm. You will need to face the north or the direction your tradition associates with the earth element, for me thats north. Focus on that direction and ground yourself, make yourself centre and at peace. Place the candle on your altar, with the rock in front of it so that from your vantage point the rock completely obscures the candle flame. Enter a trance like state and gaze at the rock so that you can see the light of the candle around it. Call to the gnomes, the conscious beings of earth, to appear before you: "Creatures of the silent earth, Reveal here to me your form" Look into the stone with the witches eye, your inner sight. Allow the gnomes to reveal themselves to you. Once they have, you may commune with them as much as you wish. Don't forget you will need to leave offerings for them as a thank you for their help. I hope this spell helps you in your future craft, its a handy one to keep in your book of shadows. As always you can keep up to date with my side of things by following me on instagram @paganvibesonly, I post daily all about my daily witchy life and what I am doing away from the blog. I hope to see you all in the next post. Stay safe and blessed be x PaganVibesOnly x Merry meet everyone, Today's post is another handy spell for your book of shadows. This one was given to me by a close friend of mine and has been really handy. For this spell I use a mini wooden chest that I got in one of my Freya's Cauldron boxes a couple of months ago. Its super cute and really handy for this type of spell. You will need to find a pretty box that you wish to use for this spell, it can be any type of box. Depending on what type of magic you want to draw into your life depends on what type of box you would like to use. Wood or stone works really well for natural magic, glass for technomagic and metal for both. I work more with natural magic which is why my box is wooden. You should avoid materials like silk or plastic though as theses don't work well with this spell. You will next need to take a square piece of paper and draw arrows from each corner so they meet the centre of the paper. Place this in the bottom of the box for attraction. Now you should add symbols of magic, good stones include amber, carnelian, gernet, hawks eye, lapis and selenite. I personally have selenite in my chest and lapis. You will then need to choose your herbs such as allspice, bergamot, cardamon pods, whole cloves, dragons blood, lemon peel, patchouli, or anise stars. I use lemon peel, anise stars and all spice. You should also add any images that represent magic for yourself, so for me I have small images of trees, florals and of course my pentagram tattoo but this is different for everyone and its to connect yourself to the magic too. You now have to visualise power flowing into the box, close it and keep it on your altar for when you need it. I hope you find this really handy for yourself and make a note of this in your book of shadows.

Stay safe and blessed be x PaganVibesOnly x Merry meet everyone, Today's post is all about creating a protection talisman using a key. This is because keys are commonly found, so its handy to keep in plain sight too for those who are in the witchy closet. You can use this talisman when the stray energies flying around you are getting to be a bit much to tolerate. You will have to find yourself a key and a length of cord that you feel is right for yourself to wear around your neck. I would go for a vintage looking key myself but its all down to what you feel drawn too. You can't use this key for any other function apart from being a talisman because it will effect the protection side of things if you do. Its best to get yourself a new key one that doesn't belong to anything. Any style key will work the same just use the one your drawn too. You will also need to light a candle to Hecate and attach the cord to the key so that it may be worn as a necklace and place the key next to the candle. Then say the following: "Goddess Hecate, Guardian of witches, Your dark cloak of protection, I do invoke! A key to unlock theses mysteries, Enchant and instill, I'll wear it around my neck, So that with your protection I shall fill! So mote it be!" You will have to allow the candle to safely burn down and then you may remove your talisman and wear as needed. This is a really simple way of making a talisman and one I love doing quite often. I hope this one comes in handy for yourself and that you will make use of this spell in the future. As always you can keep in touch with me on instagram @PaganVibesonly, were I post daily about my witchy journey and what I get up to away from the blog. I hope to see you again in the next post. Blessed be and stay safe x PaganVibesOnly x Merry meet everyone, I thought I would share another handy spell from my book of shadows that may come in handy for you all. Its also a good ones to keep in the spell chest. This spell is all about taking the power of the darkness and claiming it to help you. You will need to do this spell at night. You will walk slowly though your home, systematically turning off each light and saying: "What's in the light is all still here, so in the dark there's nothing to fear" Turn off the last remaining light source and sit down. Sit with it and breathe. Consciously slow down your breathing and notice your heart rate responding and slowing. Be aware of your eyes adjusting to the dark as your pupils widen. As you breath and slow down, affirm and know: "What's in the light is all still here, so in the dark theres nothing to fear, I am strong and capable, confident and brave, I am at peace with the darkness, No longer afraid" Once you are ready head to bed and sleep happy dreams. I hope this chant comes in handy for you, it has came in handy for me when my partner is away for weekends and I am left alone. It helps me focus on what I can control and it does help clear my mind too. Like I said this is one for the spell books. You can keep in touch with me on instagram @PaganVibesOnly where I post daily about my witchy journey and what I get up to when I am away from the blog. As always I will see you all in the next blog post. Stay safe and blessed be x PaganVibesOnly x Merry meet everyone, For today's post I thought I would share this candle flame divination spell a friend of mine gave me months ago. I thought as we are all stuck inside we may as well focus on subjects we normally dont have time for. At this time I am writing this post we are still in lock down but that may have changed by the time this is posted. If thats the case you should still make a note of this spell and keep it handy for when you feel like doing it. You will need: - Three white candles (same shape and size) - Lighter or matches. You will need to arrange the three white candles into a triangle shape on your table or altar. Then light the candles in a safely matter. Think of a yes or no question, and read the flames for each question. If all the flames burn steadily then the answer is yes. If one flame sparks or goes out, you'll have an obstacle by you'll get what you want. If two or all the flames spark or go out, the answer is no. If all the flames sway or move in a circle, the answer hasn't been formed yet in the unseen realm. In this case, wait a few days and try again. When done, snuff out the candles and reuse if you wish. This is handy way to use the candles you have in your stock if you don't want to work with your cards. Its a great divination tool to start of with too if you haven't gotten any other tools. I hope you found this really helpful and I will see you all in the next post. Stay safe and blessed be x PaganVibesOnly x |
