People just want abuse victims that are soft and kind and gentle, the kind of victims who validate their beliefs that “everything happens for a reason”. It doesn’t occur to these people that abuse actually damages people, that it could turn victims bitter and resentful rather than into poster-children for resilience and inner-strength. Victims don’t just exist to pay homage to your worldview that “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” as if abuse could ever be a positive or an experience to be grateful for.

Working with Air
Tumblr media
I love working with the element air, it’s my personal favorite out of all the elements for a few different reasons that I won’t get into (I could make pages upon pages on why I love the wind but that isn’t what this is about) This post is about how to work more closely with the wind. Enjoy dearies!
Here are a few ideas on how to work with the element Air:
Conjure up the wind by singing a sweet melody from the heart (like your all time favorite songs), whistle, or use a singing bowl. 
Go to a park or trail and walk around for as much as you would like and just feel the wind wrap around you. If leaves/flowers happen to fall upon you, collect them. NOTE: Make sure you do your research if you collect. Never pull or cut leaves/flowers unless you know what you are doing. Also, make sure you don’t collect anything that is harmful to your health. 
Go to a park/field/backyard and practice yoga. Allow the wind to help form your body while the earth keeps you steady. Stretch, relax, breathe.
On a windy day go outside and just sit there. Close your eyes and feel the air. Breathe in and out deeply, let it fill your soul. 
Burn a loose incense containing herbs that relate to air. (ex. lavender, lemongrass, pine, star anise, sage, etc) Meditate and connect to the element as the fragrance fills the room. You can burn an oil using essential oils for the same purpose. NOTE: Be careful burning anything; use a fireproof bowl, make sure it won’t fall, make sure the room is well ventilated, and most importantly, make sure you do your research. Do not burn herbs/oils that are harmful to your/others/and pets health. 
Make a sigil that means “I am protected by the winds.” or something along the lines (Personally I am not a sigil maker but I see others make damn cool ones so I’m adding it, haha) Wear it on you wherever you’d like while you are out and about so your always protected.  
Make a special air altar underneath a window, preferably facing East. Fill it with feathers, incenses, athame, a music player, your favorite books, colors of yellow and pale blues, whatever you’d like! 
Paint, dance, read, draw, sing, play an instrument, etc, Be creative. 
Learn. Do research. Gain as much knowledge about subjects you love.
Talk to the wind, communicate with it. Tell the air your problems, the joys you have felt, the pain you endured. No matter what, always your message is heard. 
Research fairies. Most fairies are related to element of air but there are some that live within the other elements. Find the fairy folk who live in the clouds, in the winds, and fly with the birds; work with them if you would like. NOTE: Be careful with working with fairies as you would with any spirit. There are so many different kinds of posts on how to communicate with them so I will list sources. (This is a very small list of sources regarding fairies but ones that I found informative.)

Spell to Sweeten a Family Relationship & Increase Patience and Understanding
By: @queenofcups-crimsonlioness​
Does your family need a little refreshing? Are you having trouble getting along? Are your parents just not patient with you anymore? Do your kids miscommunicate? Does you S.O. not understand you sometimes? Does everyone just need to take a giant chill pill?
Then, this is the spell for you!
(This is a modified Honey Jar Spell + Peaceful Home Spell)
You will Need:
*CANDLES*
1 Blue Candle (Patience, Calm, Tranquility, Devotion)
1 Brown Candle (Peace in the Home, House Blessing, Stability)
1 White Candle (Peace, Healing, Unity)
1 Orange Candle (Joy, Happiness, Warmth)
1 Pink Candle (Love, Caring, Nurturing, Affection)
*TOOLS*
Something sharp to carve words onto the candles (I used a bamboo skewer.)
Paper and Writing Utensil
Jar or Bottle
*Optional- Photograph of the persons involved needing this spell
*Optional- Ribbon(s) in any of the candle colors you’ll be using
*JAR INGREDIENTS*
Sugar  (to sweeten the relationship & attract the true intention of this spell)
Rose Petals  (pink preferably for Love)
Basil  (fresh or dried for Home Blessings)
Lavender  (fresh or dried for Patience, Happiness, Love, and Peace)
Honey  (to sweeten the relationship and bind the spell)
*Optional- Dried Orange Slice (for Happiness, Love, and Angelic Blessings)
*OILS* (These are entirely Optional.  Essential Oils can be very expensive, I understand.  I incorporated them into my own spell because I have them in abundance and I use them frequently in my craft.)
>Lavender Oil (Happiness, Love, Peace, Patience)
>Myrtle Oil (Love, Peace)
>Orange Oil (Love)
>Rosemary Oil (Healing, Love, Positivity)
>Cedarwood Oil (Healing, Purification)
_____
OK!  Let’s get started!
1.) Using your sharp object, begin to carve words into your candles correspondent with their intended purpose, (Ex: On the blue candle carve the words PATIENCE, CALM, TRANQUILITY, and DEVOTION.)
2.) (If you’re using the oils in this spell, this step is for you, if you’re not, skip to Step 3.)  Now, dress each candle with one of the 5 oils, (For example, you could dress the blue candle with lavender oil and the brown candle with myrtle, the white candle with orange oil, etc.  One oil for one candle.)  As you rub a drop of oil onto each candle, (careful not to use too much.  A little goes a long way.  I only use one drop each,) -say out loud the oil’s intended purpose. (Ex: As you use the rosemary oil, chant, “Healing, Love, Positivity.”)  I like to say everything 3x, but you do what you feel comfortable with.
3.) Draw a large STAR on your paper and lay it flat on your work surface.  (I actually used a star made of twigs instead.  Use what you have… just make a star.)
4.) Place a candle at each one of the star’s points, then light.  (Be sure to use fire safety and secure candles into proper containers before lighting.  I used little tiny crystal bowls filled with sea salt.)
5.) Now place your jar or bottle in the center of your star.  (I cleansed my jar ahead of time with incense.)
6.) Time to add in the Sugar, Rose Petals, Basil, & Lavender.  As you add each ingredient, state aloud its purpose, (Ex: When adding the rose petals, say, “For Love.”)  Layer these ingredients 3 times.  I use a teaspoon of each three times, so you’ll need at least 3 tsps. of each ingredient, or 3 leaves/petals, etc.
7.) Now time to make this spell personal.  You can either roll up the photo of the people -OR- write their names on paper, crossing the names over one another, then roll up the paper and add to the jar.  Settle the photo or paper down into the dry ingredients as much as you can.
8.) If you’re adding an orange slice, add now on top of everything else.  As you place it in, say, “Happiness, Love, and Blessed by Angels.”
9.) Now, top the whole thing off with Honey, repeating these words until it’s full, “Sweeten this relationship.  Bind this spell.”  (Leave a little room for air.  And, make sure you wait and see how it settles before sealing, you may need to add more honey a couple times.  I learned this the hard way in another spell.)
10.) Before sealing, feel the energy and heat from the surrounding candles with the palms of your hands, then bring your hands together just over the jar and chant these words 3x:
Patience and Understanding
Will surely come to these
Like a bee to this sweet honey.
11.) Close the jar or bottle
12.) Seal it now with wax from all 5 of your candles.
13.) Now fix the BLUE candle to the top.  Light this candle whenever this spell needs recharged.
14.) *Optional- Tie ribbon(s) around top of bottle or jar.  (I used a blue ribbon with brown polka dots.)
___________________________
I wrote this spell for my husband and daughter.  It works.  
I hope you enjoy casting this spell as much I enjoyed creating it.  Good luck and be magical, dears.

💖 Nail Polish Ritual 💅
Here’s a simple, versatile ritual that I do weekly…my favorite ways to practice witchcraft involve incorporating magic into the mundane, and this is a great example of that! 
You can charge your polish with any intent – some examples are glamours (such as beauty or confidence), luck, focus/concentration (great for exams or finals week!), protection, energy, or simply for enhancing your own magical power!
🌹 Start by using nail polish remover, and visualize that as the old polish is wiped away, so is the accumulated negativity and stress from the previous week. (If you don’t have any nail polish on a substitute could simple be washing your hands clean!) I like to charge my nail polish remover beforehand with crystals that have cleansing and purifying properties, such as clear quartz, amethyst, selenite, and celestine.
🌹Next, choose the color of nail polish you wish, and charge it with your desired intent. There are many ways to do this – usually, my preferred method is simply to charge the bottle with crystals matching my intent. If you have the time and patience, drawing sigils underneath your polish is another great way to channel energy. And of course, you could use color correspondences, just like you would with candles! Use the correspondences that work best for you, but here’s a basic list of some of my personal color associations!
Pink: Love, Beauty
Red: Confidence, Strength
Orange: Energy, Success 
Yellow: Focus, Positivity
Green: Luck, Prosperity
Blue: Wisdom, Peace
Purple: Inspiration, Psychic Ability
Black: Protection, Banishing
Gray: Calm, Stability
White: Clarity, Purification
🌹While waiting for my polish to dry, I’ll take a few minutes to meditate. I’ll put on a calming Spotify playlist, light a candle, and just take a moment to clear my mind and focus on my breathing. (It goes without saying, but of course use common sense and don’t let your candle get too close to flammable nail polish/remover!) 
🌹After your nail polish has dried, finish with a top coat to “seal” the intent and help it last longer. Again, you can enhance the polish’s strength and protection properties by charging the bottle with crystals such as tiger’s eye, hematite, or black onyx (yes, I know, I use my crystals for just about everything…)
*As a side note, I know there are several posts about nail polish magic floating around, so please know that I am not trying to claim that the entire concept is an original idea – this is just my personal ritual! 💖

ABC of carrier oils
Vegetable and carrier oils have a plethora of fine uses which include acting as a carrier for therapeutic applications, as an excellent addition to your culinary creations, as a lathering agent for soap, and a binding medium for cosmetics. It is hard to imagine where we would be with our creations, if it were not for the goodness and substance that pure oil provides.  There are so many varieties, however, that it is easy to get overwhelmed.  Here is a list of the most commonly used carrier oils!
Almond oil - This is one of the most useful, practical, and comonly used oils. It is great for all skin types as an acting emollient and is best known for its ability to soften, soothe, and re-condition the skin. It is truly marvelous as a carrier oil and is equally superb for addition to body care products.
Apricot kernel oil - A wonderful oil similar to Sweet Almond, but more suitable for sensitive and prematurely aged skin.It can be used liberally in most body care recipes.
Argan oil - This rare and exquisite oil is meticulously pressed from the fruit kernels of the Moroccan Argan tree. Argan oil is rich in natural tocopherols (vitamin E) and phenols, carotenes, squalene and fatty acids, making it a truly luxurious oil. Argan oil absorbs quickly and is often used in skin, nail and hair treatments to deliver deep hydration, strengthen brittle hair and nails, and prevent/reduce stretch marks.
Avocado oil - This ultra rich organic oil is a delightful treasure containing high amounts of Vitamin A, B1, B2, D, and E. Also contains amino acids, sterols, pantothenic acid, lecithin, and other essential fatty acids. Highly prized to those with skin problems such as eczema, psoriasis, and other skin ailments, it also makes a lovely salad oil for dressings and condiments. Highly recommended to those with sensitive skin, problem skin, and other irritations that require vitamin rich oil.
Baobab oil - This exquisite oil is cold pressed from the seeds of Baobab fruit trees growing in Africa. The normal lifespan of a Baobab tree is 500 years, with the oldest trees reaching the age of 5,000 years and a height of 20 meters. Known to the locals in its natural habitat as “The Tree Of Life”, Baobab’s bark, leaves and fruit pulp are also used. Its lovely white flowers emit a smell of rotting meat, which attracts pollinating moths, flies and ants; however, the seed oil itself possesses a light, nutty, almost floral scent. Rich in vitamins A, E and F and sterols, baobab oil absorbs quickly and is a wonderful oil to use in dry skin treatments and products designed to moisturize dry hair.
Borage seed oil -Because of its extremely high levels of gamma linolenic acid, Borage Seed Oil has many potential uses.  It has been widely studied for its ability to calm and reduce inflammation, and has been used successfully to alleviate the pain, swelling, and joint stiffness associated with rheumatoid arthritis.  Borage Seed Oil has also been used with positive results for many different skin disorders, such as psoriasis, eczema, acne, rosacea, and prematurely matured skin.  Furthermore, studies have begun to show that it may be able to be beneficial for treating and preventing a malady of conditions.
Castor oil - A natural source oil from castor beans. A hard and shiny oil found in most cosmetics that acts as a barrier agent and protective medium against harsh conditions and extremes. Very soothing to the skin when included into cosmetic applications.
Coconut oil - This is a great oil for general moisturizing and serves as a protective layer, helping to retain the moisture in your skin. It also acts as a mild oil suitable for those with inflamed and irritated skin, and those with skin sensitivities. Coconut oil is without a doubt the number one lather-producing agent used in soaps.
Grapeseed oil - Grapeseed oil has a mild green color with a pleasant odor, silken texture, and great absorbtion rate. Generally employed as a base oil for many creams, lotions and as a general carrier oil. Grapeseed is especially useful for skin types that do not absorb oils too well, and it does not leave a greasy feeling. Wonderful for those with skin sensitivities because of its natural non-allergenic properties.
Hazelnut oil - Hazelnut oil is known for its astringent qualities and because of this, it is best used for those who have oily skin but do not want to abstain from using oils.
Hemp seed oil - Exceptionally rich oil high in essential omega fatty acids and proteins. This oil has a pleasant nutty smell, deep green color, and absorbs well into the skin. It makes a marvelous cosmetic grade oil and because of its high nutritional value, it makes a superior quality dietary oil and one that can be used as a base ingredient for skin care recipes which require healing and regenerative ingredients.
Jojoba oil - Jojoba oil comes from the beans of the shrub like plant, simmondsia chinensis. It is bright and golden in color and is regarded as the most favored in the carrier oil family because of its advanced molecular stability. Also makes a great scalp cleanser for the hair, and is equally wonderful for the skin because it has absorption properties that are similar to our skin’s own sebum.
Kukui nut oil - The Kukui nut tree is the official tree of Hawaii and has been used by natives of this island for hundreds of years. They recognized the oil’s high penetrability and soothing properties and currently they put it to use in helping sooth sunburns and chapped skin. A fabulous ingredient for your cosmetics, or as a stand-alone application, Kukui nut oil contains very high levels of the essential fatty acids linoleic and alpha-linolenic. This oil is readily absorbed into the skin, providing tissues the essential elements that it needs and is particularly good for dry skin, psoriasis, acne and eczema.
Macadamia nut oil - This fine oil comes from the pressed nuts of the Macadamia tree. It is a priceless delight for the skin and has proven itself to be one of the best regenerative oils available.  It is high in monounsaturated fatty acids, and closely resembles sebum (the oil naturally produced by one’s skin to help protect it). Macadamia oil is a fabulous, protective oil with a high absorption rate and has been successfully used as a healing oil for scars, sunburns, minor wounds and other irritations.
Neem oil - A magnificent oil with numerous benefits for both therapeutic and medicinal use.

Used widely in creams, dental products, hair care products, and in gardens for natural pest control.
