A Stand For Your Book Of Shadows

Today I was walking by a shop that sold instruments, and I seen the cutest music sheet stand. I thought that it would make a wonderful stand for my Book Of Shadow.  That way I don't have to keep it on my altar  and they come in so many designs. Here are a couple of pictures so you can see what I mean. This is a basic design that cost about $20.00

   Here is a more nicer looking one, that i'm sure cost more.

But there both nice. but I like the second one better. What do you think?

How To Make A Witch Bottle

How To Make a Witch Bottle

Traditional Protection from Curses, Hexes, and the Evil Eye
Witch bottles have been used for centuries in various ways. Nowadays, as perhaps before, they are used primarily as decoys to attract, absorb, confuse and defuse negative psychic energy being sent to a target or victim, whether it be random ill will or malicious cursing.

All it takes is a bottle or jar with a good watertight lid, and all sorts of bent pins or nails, broken glass or mirrors, cactus thorns, anything spiky, bent, or broken. Fill the jar or bottle with this stuff and then fill it a little more than halfway with one or a combo of: your own urine and/or a drop of blood or menstrual blood, and either plain water or vinegar, or for stronger effect, Four Thieves Vinegar. Cap the jar tightly.

Then you bury the bottle somewhere near your house, preferably under the front porch or near your front door. This is best done during the dark moon or just before, at midnight, but really anytime will do.

Here is the theory behind why the Witch Bottle works so well: Your urine or blood identifies it as “you,” and so then acts as a decoy for energy sent your way, the bent pins confuse the hex, the mirrors reflect the energy back to sender, the vinegar dissolves the curse, and the burying "buries the hatchet".

Good luck!

Parchment Paper Tutorial

Why spend money on parchment paper, when you can make it. And If you want color parchment you can make it with food coloring.

A New Book That I'm Reading

 

I just started to read this one, so far so good.

My New Introduction

Marry Meet, to whomever is reading this, my name is Amethyst, I’m 44 years old, I live here in California, and I’m a witch, I've been practicing witchcraft for 17 years now, the reason that I was interested in witchcraft was for the magick aspect of it, I had know Idea that there was so much more to it, like the religion part, I was so uneducated about it at the time, but now that I fully understand what it’s about, and all the aspect of the craft, I have to say “I found my way home”, I have so much understanding of things now, than I did back then, and all the things that I have learned throughout the years, It has brought me  peace, love and joy, and that's is what  the Goddess has always wanted for me, and now the Goddess is calling on me to give back what she has blessed me with, to teach other who is looking to follow this wonderful  path, and show them the right directions.  There is so much about the craft that I love, like for instance, I love writing my own rituals and spells, it’s more rewarding than the ones you find in books, and I’m not saying that the ones in book are bad, I’m just saying that I get more satisfaction from writing my own, there is so much about Witchcraft that I find most enjoyable, and I’m so happy to know that there are others out there just like me, and that I’m not alone, Thank You and Many Blessing

No-Bake Cookie Bars

No-Bake Cookie Bars

2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup milk
1 stick (1/2 cup) butter
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter
3 cups quick-cooking oats
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Spray an 8″ square pan with cooking spray and set aside. Measure the peanut butter & oats and set aside so they’re ready when you need them. Have your vanilla bottle handy along with a teaspoon. In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, milk, butter, and cocoa. Bring to a boil and once it reaches a full rolling boil, cook for 1 1/2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in the peanut butter until melted, then stir in the vanilla and lastly the oats. Immediately pour mixture into prepared pan and put on a cooling rack to set until completely cool. Once cool, cut into bars. To make this recipe into the regular round cookies, just drop the mixture by spoonfuls onto wax paper and let cool. You can store them in an airtight container several days at room temp or over a week in the fridge.

I know this isn't witchey but I had to share it..lol

Lughnashdh 2013

The Simplified Witch

LUGHNASADH ~ From Scott Cunningham's, "Wicca A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner", 2005, p. 70

"Lughnasadh (August 1) is the time of the first harvest, when the plants of spring wither and drop their fruits or seeds for our use as well as to ensure future crops. Mystically, so too does the God lose his strength as the sun rises farther in the south each day and the nights grow longer. The Goddess watches in sorrow and joy as she realizes that the God is dying, and yet lives on inside her as her child.

Lughnasadh, also known as August Eve, Feast of Bread, Harvest Home, and Lammas, wasn't necessarily observed on this day. It originally coincided with the first reapings.

As summer passes, Wiccans remember its warmth and bounty in the food we eat. Every meal is an act of attunement with nature, and we are reminded that nothing in the universe is constant."

Llewellyn"s Spell of the Day

Self-Love and Beauty Spell

Spell Date: Friday, April 5, 2013

Color of the day: Rose

Incense of the day: Thyme

The Romans held Fridays sacred to Venus, goddess of love and beauty. The Greeks believed Friday was Aphrodite's day. This is the day for a love and beauty spell - not "outside" love but rather "inside" love, self-love.
Gather your favorite clothes, a piece of meaningful jewelry (magically charged, if possible), a hairbrush, and an anointing oil (jasmine or rose, for full love effect).
Stand in front of a mirror and gaze at yourself, intoning:

"I love myself as I am beautiful inside and out."

Apply scented oil.

"I'm anointed by Love's sacred care."

Lovingly brush your hair.

"I stroke my Strong spirit."

Put on your favorite clothes.

"Cloaked in Love's protection, I glow."

Add jewelry.

"Magic is mine, within and without."

Fully anointed and dressed up, go out and enjoy yourself, knowing that self-love is more important than other love, and true beauty comes from within.

II posted this because I thought that it a fabulous spell to share with you all. Blessing )0(

Crystal Ostara Eggs 2013

Crystal Ostara Eggs

You'll need:
1 C. all-purpose flour
½ C. salt
¼ C. clean sand
1 C. used coffee grounds
¾ C. warm water
Crystals or gemstones
Non-stick cooking spray
Acrylic paints in your favorite colors


Blend flour, salt, sand and coffee grounds together. Gradually add the water, and knead until you've got a thick, gritty dough. Spray a crystal lightly with non-stick cooking spray, and place it in the center of a small scoop of dough. Shape the dough around the crystal to form an egg shape. Bake the eggs at 350 for about 15 minutes, and allow to cool. Once they've cooled, they should be nice and hard, like a rock. Paint the eggs, and allow paint to dry.


Hide the eggs on Ostara, and let your kids crack them open to reveal the hidden crystals
