How this Witch Intends to Celebrate her Birthday~

I consider birthdays, New Years, anniversaries, etc., to all be 'Special Days' that deserve to be celebrated with a bit of magick! My birthday is on the 27th of February and below are some of the witchy [& perhaps not so witchy to you] ways I'll be celebrating.

☆ Taking some time to indulge in a book is always lovely. I'm currently reading 'Afterglow', the last book in the Wildefire series by Karsten Knight. The trilogy centers around a reincarnated Polynesian volcano goddess and her battles with the mysterious Cloak and other reincarnated gods & goddesses. These books are so riveting and I'm going to be sad when I finish reading this!

☆ I read my Tarot cards pretty much every day, but for my birthday I'll be doing a special birthday reading to see what my 24th year will hold for me =) I recently found my mini Hanson-Roberts deck again. It's my favourite deck [the energy is so good] and I'm excited to be using it again!

☆ I bought new tea and my favourite chocolate to enjoy~ And both have caramel & sea salt in 'em, ha ha! The tea is 'Sweet Ocean' and it's one of the new blends from the local tea shop. I haven't tried it yet but it smells delish. Brewing & enjoying a cup of tea is very ritualistic to me and one of my fav ways to unwind.

☆ Spell work is another one of those things that I do every day~ but I'm going to theme my spell work for my birthday around 'letting go' and 'new beginnings'. I'll be doing a ritual to let go of all the things that no longer benefit me, and then I'll put together a spell bag to draw all the good things towards me.


A few more witchy ways I'll be celebrating: ☆ Buying a few moon magick & herbal books for the witchy bookshelf. ☆ Painting my nails a colour that symbolizes what I'd like to achieve this year. ☆ Hopefully getting my new Tarot cards settled in if they arrive on my birthday! ☆ Organizing the witchy bookshelf...again. ☆


How do you like to celebrate your birthday?

Blessings,
Faula.

Hi everyone ♥ I've decided to start my blog with a post about things to do during the New Moon~ I'm not very experienced with astrology, but I hope you enjoy these ideas!

Tonight is the second New Moon in Aquarius of 2015. The New Moon is when the moon has gone dark after waning. It's a perfect time for magickal workings involving self-improvement, new beginnings, and relationships.


☆ Do a little divination - always a good idea! Pull out the Tarot cards, pendulums or runes and see what the next 28 days of the lunar cycle have in store for you.

☆ New Moons are perfect for a fresh start. Have you been meaning to start a new hobby? Use the energies of the New Moon to motivate you!

☆ Refresh yourself with a lovely cleansing bath with some herbs, sea salt and candles!

☆ Manifest! You can meditate, write, or collage the things you'd like to welcome into your life. Personally I love writing wishlists and using a 'wish box' to manifest the things I desire.

☆ Start a Moon diary to help you become more aware of the moon's phases and its effects on your life. Write down the current lunar phase, your feelings & thoughts, and anything else that comes to mind!

☆ Clean up your altar or the place where you do your magickal workings. Sprinkle a little salt, set up quartz crystals, or burn incense/sage to purify the space once everything's tidy.

☆ Take a look at your life and resolve to release anything that isn't helping you.

☆ New Moon in Aquarius is a great time for communication. If you'd like to strengthen your relationships & communications with your loved ones, put together a communication spell with opalite and mint.

☆ Work on some healing magick for any areas of your life that require healing.

☆ For a simple ritual, light a black candle and enjoy a cup of herbal tea as you reflect on the things you wish to accomplish & draw into your life.
