Everything Under the Moon

I always wear a quartz crystal on my necklace, and I put it out to cleanse and reenergize every full moon and whenever I feel it needs it, in which case, I'll bury them for a day or cleanse in saltwater.

These are some of my favorite pages from my Book of Shadows... It's definitely a work in progress and there are some pages I wish I could just rip out (I never will though!) I came to realize that everything is a learning process and even though I don't like the way certain pages look, they are stil...

Thank you! And another question that came up while reading this response, what do you usually do with your decorations? I would feel wrong just throwing them out since they hold so much meaning.

Hello everyone, hope you're all well :) I set up my first Samhain altar this year, and I was so pleased with how it turned out! Now, I'm wondering, after a holiday how long do you keep the altar that way? Do you wait a while before taking it apart and setting up something different? And are there an...

I attended a Catholic highschool so I have knowledge on the Catholic religion as well. I don't follow any of thes...

Thanks for both responses, I really like what you have written here.. I will definitely try to pay more attention to the nature I do have access to. And i do agree that I may have thrown myself a bit off balance by putting too much energy into the first few months of practice. As for the meditation,...

Hello, I'm pretty new to the craft and for a while when I first began (about 6 months ago) I was practicing different rituals for the full moons, preparing spells and filling my book. I was feeling wonderfully spiritually and I was really beginning to understand the craft and the ideas behind it, I ...

Hi, I'm pretty new to meditation and I've started by sitting and simply counting my breath, sometimes I breathe for 2 minutes sometimes for 10, however, I've noticed that my mind wanders fairly quickly and I just can't seem to make any sort of connection. When I am able to calm my mind enough to sit...
