“Hang the eucalyptus upside down by tying it to your shower head with twine. When you run your shower, the steam will rise up towards the eucalyptus, filling your bathroom with the most refreshing, relaxing scent. Plus, the added greens are lovely on the eyes. You’ll definitely feel a little closer to nature.”

catnip-gardens:

I was just at Walgreens waiting for a prescription to be filled, and decided to crack open Green Witchcraft by Ann Moura (again) to pass the time. A much older woman to my left saw the title and said “so you’re into witchcraft, are you?” I froze. I’m not very bold and I abhor confrontation, so…

It’s back!

When you find marshmallow root, uva ursi, and corn silk in your herbs storage, it’s going to be a good night.

I am so Lucky, my Mum brought me this today, very expensive, early birthday present. I adore my new Hecate statue.

this is lovely!

Oh, Hecate, hail!

Supplies: Yarn of cord, anywhere from a foot to a yard long (any color will do, but you may wish to use a color that is associated with whatever you are doing magic for: green for prosperity, blue for health, pink or red for love, black for protection, and so on).

Magical uses: Knot magic binds your spell or intention into a small and tangible form that can be easily tucked into a pocket or placed on an altar. It can be used for most forms of magical work, depending on the spell you use.

Directions: Take your piece of cord or yarn and tie nine knots in it, starting at the ends (knots 1 and 2), then the middle (3), then halfway between the end knots and the middle knots (4 and 5), then between the ends (1 and 2) and the most recent knots (4 and 5); these knots will be 6 and 7. The last two knots (8 and 9) will be between the central knot and the ones closest to it (4 and 5). As you are tying your knots, visualize your magical goal and recite the following incantation:

By the knot of one, the spell’s begun.
By the knot of two, it cometh true.
By the knot of three, so mote it be.
By the knot of four, open the door.
By the knot of five, the spell’s alive.
By the knot of six, the spell is fixed.
By the knot of seven, the stars of heaven.
By the knot of eight, the stroke of fate.
By the knot of nine, the thing is mine!

Afterwards: Tuck your piece of cord or yarn in your pocket and carry it to remind you of your intentions and to bring the power of your spell with you. Or you can put it on your altar, in your wallet, or in a spell spell box. When you are done with the spell, you can either undo the knots to release the spell or burn or bury the piece of yarn.

Notes: I highly encourage you to write your own incantation for the spell to match the purpose. I also encourage you to test it out in doing yarn or needlecraft. Put a spell into a crochet/knit piece!
