Before she was born, I created a special altar box that consisted of her scan pictures, hand written notes on everything I wished for her ie: to always know she was loved, to be confident and kind etc, crystals to strengthen our bond, mementos from me and my partner etc etc
I also created a protection spell bottle for her and 3 hours later we were rushed into hospital because of a really traumatic labour emergency and she was born safely, exactly 8 hours after creating the protection jar.
I charge her bottles around my crystals after they've been sterilised, I have a very large piece of rose quartz that I visualise infusing her bottles with extra love.
I smoke cleansed her room thoroughly before I gave birth, to ensure her room didn't have any left over negative energy from the people who used it before her.
I trace 'sleep safe and sound' sigils on her face as she drifts to sleep.
I use a baby safe lavender scented pillow spray that has also been charged with rose quartz in her crib to protect her and ensure she has peaceful dreams.
We use lavender, vegan and cruelty free baby body wash and shampoo to promote good sleep.
I stir her porridge clockwise every morning to attract good luck and happiness.
I am in the process of transferring over some of my grimoire and book of shadows pages into a beautiful grimoire to hand down to her when she is older and if she follows my path.
I am creating new traditions and routines for each Sabbat and Esbat that she can join in with me when she is a little bit older.
I will be creating a blessing for her bedroom to banish negativity and bad dreams.
I provide her with plenty of healthy baby foods for lunch with different herbs and ingredients that correspond with the intent of the day. Of course I stir anticlockwise to banish negativity and bad moods if she's particularly grumpy or fussy, and then clockwise to promote happiness and a positive mood for the rest of the day.
I recycle all her baby food jars and use them to store herbs, potions and spells. (It's a very good budget friendly alternative to pricey glass bottles that are often far too small for my personal liking.)
And of course, I gave her a Witchy name that truly suits her beauty.
Of course I will incorporate so much more into her daily life as she gets older as my partner is super supportive despite not practising my beliefs, but these are what I can do now at least.
Thank you for reading. πππ

Just uploaded these grimoire pages all about astrology, get them without the watermark HERE!
While planning for this I looked through possibly every single post listing prompts for your grimoire on this site, and listen 98% of those lists are exactly the same. No shade on the ppl who make these lists, since I found that stuff really useful for brainstorming my own ideas, but hereβs a list of ideas that I havenβt anywhere on tumblr. Theyβre unique, specific, and in no particular order, but they might help other witches. So:
Gardening Calendar - when to sow and when to reap, winter plants vs summer plants, etc.
Nice sounding words and names for when I want spells to sound good.
Cryptids/Myths - (fear gortach, baba yaga, the jersey devil, and kelpies are some of my faves)
Skill Building techniques - recipes for candle/incense making, book binding, sewing/patterns, tea making, etc. I tend to approach things as a jack of all trades/master of none, and itβd be nice to have one place with a lot of tips for things Iβve learned and can apply to my craft.
basics of chemistry and practical uses (i.e. removing rust, different colors of fire and how to use them in spells, etc)
Art pages for drawing new witchy tattoo ideas
A chart of which plants mix badly with medications I take (!!!!!)
an entire info page on practicing safely honestly
Witchcraft is about using all your senses to affect change in the world. A research page on senses other than the 5 that everyone knows?
Current politics. Yeah, really. Thereβs this curse Trump movement going on, or it was going on a while ago. You donβt have to use curses I feel to affect some change, at least in your local government. Of course, witchcraft should only be a supplement to actually voting/calling senators.
How to attract pollinators - butterflies, bumble bees, etc.
also how to get rid of invasive species
History of the Satanic Panic and how that affected witchcraft

Being the First Rite of the Sabbat;
by Andrew D. Chumbley
π§οΈ Szepasszony is a beautiful Hungarian fairy, clad in a white rob, with long golden hair. She dances in rainstorms and showers of hail; she casts a spell through rainwater, dripping from the caves to make a puddle on the ground- she then has power over anyone who steps into this puddle, Szepasszony is seductive, and not always benevolent.
π§οΈ She is a powerful sprite, who delights in the energies of storms. However, each rainstorm brings a host of elemental sprites in the air within and surrounding the storm. It is a shame to shrink from contact with the rain, for raindrops can awaken your spirit and refresh your soul.
π§οΈ Rainbows are much associated with fairies. It is at the end of the rainbow that the Leprechaun most often hides his pot of gold. The rainbow is a bridge to the Otherworld, from where the rain fairies come. The Norse people call the rainbow Bifrost, and said that it was a route to Asgard, the home of the gods.
π§οΈΒ Rain not only makes the plants grow, but also brings more subtle blessings. Welcome the rain fairies, and let them wash clean your life.
Method: You will need windchimes and some ribbon. Windchimes of bamboo will invite a gentle, thoughtful sprite who will encourage reflection. Crystal chimes will attract a highly evolved sprite to help you achieve greater detachment. Metal chimes will attract a creative sprite who can help you achieve change.
Choose a breezy day and hang your windchimes securely in an open window. Close your eyes and visualize the gifts you want from your sprite.
Lean out the window slightly so the breeze blows on your face and say:Β βWind sprite flying light and high, I call to you, draw nigh, draw nigh. My chimes a home for you shall be ever welcome,ever freeβ.
Listen for a special tinkle from your windchimes to tell you your sprite has arrived. Welcome this being by tying the ribbon to the upper string of the chimes, being very careful not to restrict their swaying and tinkling. Thank your sprite for being present. Whenever you feel in need of gifts from the wind sprites, stir your chimes and let a fresh breeze blow into your heart and mind.
The word was created by the controversial occultist Alister CrowleyΒ (1875-1947) who founded the religion Thelema which later became known as Wicca.Β Β
One reason he added aΒ βkβ was to separate between entertainment magic and witchcraft magick.Β
Many thing the distinction isnβt necessary but there are other reasons Crowley did this.Β
Crowleyβs philosophy of Thelema meant that he also used the word magick to describe any act that brings someone closer to what he called their βTrue Willβ; their purpose in life.
Will is different than want
I can make a post about Crowley and True Will in the future
EDIT: I have made a post about True Will, just click the link.
In 1886 (about 11 years from 1875) Crowleyβs father, a devout Christian and preacher, passed.Β Crowley, a formerly devoted follower of Christianity out of respect for his father, began to turn his back on the Christian religion, pointing out irregularities in the Bible. His mother, also a Christian, because of this called himΒ βThe Beast.β
When Crowley created the word βmagickβ he lengthened a five letter word to six letters, the number six being sacred in many beliefs. Interestingly, according to Genesis, God created man on the 6th day. In the Bible, Revelation 13:18, God assigned the number 666 to man and to the Beast.
Revelation 13:18
βHere is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.βΒ
The letter K is also the 11th number of the alphabet. This number has huge significance to Crowley and he often wrote about its importance: βFirstlyβ, 11 is the number of Magick in itselfβ along with his well-known phrase βDo What Thou Wilt Shall Be The Whole Of The Lawβ which has eleven words and eleven syllables.
Some people refrain from usingΒ βmagickβ due to Crowleys reputation and the several stories surrounding his life, others useΒ βmagikβ orΒ βmajickβ or variations of said word. But there is no right or wrong here and you can useΒ βmagickβ or not, itβs all up to the witch at hand. I just use it to differentiate magick and magic.
