This is a post compiled for the 21st century modern witch who is having a rough time in a “first-world-problem” sense. If you’re having a real emergency, contact services in your area, such as a hospital, police, or fire department. Also check out my other “For When Shit Hits the Fan” Emergency Masterpost for information on how to get help with emergencies without witchcraft.
Do not be afraid, in ritual, to be undignified, to be strange, to express what is animal and taboo and shameful in your desires. To express emotion, to be ugly, to get dirty.
Ritual - most especially ecstatic ritual - is about finding and expressing the power of your deepest, rawest, wildest self. That doesn’t look pretty, it is not what society asks us to be, but that is not what witchcraft is about.
Imbolc helps us say farewell to the hibernation of winter and usher in the bountiful months of spring. I hope that this spread can help you determine what areas of your own lives are stagnant, and how to bring them back to life!
1. Frost: This position represents that which has frozen over in your life. Where do you see stagnation? In what ways have you become stuck?
2. Flame: This position symbolizes the spark that will help you usher in your productive season. What can help you move forward with your goals? What will thaw out your frozen motivation?
3. Flower: This position marks the joys that await you in the spring season. What seeds lie dormant, waiting for the spring to let them blossom? What gifts will arrive with the changing season?
This scrub spell is made especially for anyone who has felt violated, experienced anything that crossed their personal boundaries or challenged their autonomy. It is made to cleanse the user of any feeling of violation or memory of someone else’s hands or eyes upon them.
I am sharing this spell in hopes that it will offer healing and peace for its users.
Sea salt - Purification
Olive oil - Purification and protection
Eucalyptus oil - Deep healing & repair
Lavender - Peace
Basil- Courage & protection
Lemon juice - Cleansing
Mix the ingredients together, adding lemon juice until your blend becomes a coarse paste. Use the scrub over your body while bathing. Visualize the salt scrubbing away the dead skin from your body, and the negative memories being sloughed off with the old skin. Where your skin becomes soft and raw, envision the herbs and oils settling over your skin and infusing it with its power. The dead skin is gone, you are new and clean.
Sometimes it can be difficult getting your hands on everything you need for a spell. In scenarios like that, these substitutions will come in handy. These are generally easy to find, as opposed to some rarer or pricier ingredients used in magic.
