Everything Under the Moon

I'd like to do a spell to help me feel more satisfied - physically, emotionally, and spiritually. I tend to put a lot of pressure on myself and often feel very dissatisfied with my career, environment, accomplishments, and other things. I believe this attitude has contributed to unhealthy eating hab...

So, I'm looking to start a dye garden with plants that can serve double duty for cooking and/or tea brewing. I have never gardened before and could use some suggestions on which plants can be planted together and any other tips for container planting. I have a small balcony to use and an even smalle...

I've come to the understanding that regardless of geographical location all of us are trying to connect to the unilateral source that binds all things together, the paths we take and our heritage are the many faces and reflections of said source. Well said, Alfazon! An update, for anyone who may be...

My area is actually very urban. I tend to pick roadside flowers and yes areas from parks, railroad tracks etc. Where I was previously living I had a small outdoor garden with marigolds and roses. I used these two flowers a lot in my work. A lot of my work doesn't depend on spells in and of themselv...

I use natural herbs and wildflowers close by for a lot of my work. One would call it Maine Witchcraft. May I ask what the environment is like in your area? I'm trying to do this to some degree, but my area is very urban/suburban so I'm struggling to find things that haven't been imported and cultiv...

Thanks for sharing your experiences. I guess I'm asking because I have ancestry from a lot of regions, but very little connection to any of them. I've done some research and a couple of the cultures in which my family believed we had roots are either nonexistent in our heritage or less prominent tha...

For those of you who look to a certain culture from your ancestry or family heritage for inspiration in your practice of witchcraft, how did you choose which culture's traditions to incorporate? I'm also curious if you grew up with that culture or of you built that connection later in life.

I only started in early December, so I guess everything I'm doing now is part of how I'm getting started. As far as spellwork, though, food and tea magic have come really naturally and were my first steps into practice. My beliefs rely heavily on symbolism, and finding the right ingredients to suppo...

So I'm technically a Scorpio, born on the cusp of Libra and Scorpio. I've never really felt like typical Scorpio traits were accurate for me, so I'm wondering how being born on the cusp affects a person. I have a very shallow understanding of astrology, so I may just be looking at it the wrong way. ...

Trusting our inner mechanisms is related to knowing our higher self. When I was a raw beginner as a medium I was given an exercise called "heart temple I just wanted to thank you again, SpiritTalker. I feel like this exercise has really been working for me. I've done it most nights since you s...

So I've been doing small spells for about a month, mostly things to improve my mood or outlook or banish negativity. While I've felt these spells working and the positive impact of magical thinking in my life, the goals are kind of vague, long-term, open to interpretation, and difficult to quantify....

Thank you!

I do a lot of simple spells on tea. I choose the type and blend based on my intention, mentally write a quick incantation (usually a quatrain or couplet) and repeat it as I stir. I'll also draw basic symbols on the surface of the water when I add honey to support the intention. If using loose tea, I...

I struggle with mental health disorders, so I've been learning for years NOT to trust my gut. I also suppressed most of my more magically inclined thinking as a young teen to better fit in and seem less childish. Any advice on how to know when to trust my intuition or exercises I can do to improve m...
