🌱🧚Finding Earth Spirits In The Wild🧚🌱

🌱Earth spirits are just about the easiest ones to make contact with. Their forms tend to be less subtle than those of many fairies,and they generally stick to one place- so if you feel a location is haunted by these beings, it will always be haunted. Wherever anything grows, there will be a fairy to attend to it.

🌱 Earth fairies love gardens,and will gather round you while you are planting and watering. At the end of a hot day they exult when you get out the hose or watering can, and will dance among the refreshed flowers with glee. Often they do not like you weeding,though,so make sure you always do this with respect. Leave a patch of your garden to grow wild, for the fairies love this and it creates a space for all the plants that are unwelcome elsewhere- just because humans do not like them, this does not mean they do not have a valuable place in the scheme of things.

🧚 Method 🧚

To draw close to the gnomes,settle quietly in your garden or in a park,woodland, field, or hillside- close to a barrow-mound may be the most powerful place of all. Gnomes of the deep earth may be experienced in a cave or hollow,whereas others may be more of the flower- or tree-fairy types. Let your bare feet and hands make contact with the earth,mud or stone. Beat a soft rhythm on a drum,if you wish.

Be very still, relaxed,and quiet. Try not to see anything,because that will put you in the wrong frame of mind. Just be there, and be observant- these spirits do not show themselves in the ways you might expect, and seeing them can seem almost ordinary.

Be aware of any little movements out of the corner of your eye, for that is where spirits are often first perceived. An animal running in the undergrowth may also be a shy gnome in disguise. Look out for the face of the Green Man among the leaves, and watch flowers, for they can also be sweet faces, nodding and smiling.

To show they have drawn close to you, gnomes will often give you a tangible gift,such as a coin or a piece of jewelry. If you find this on your path,treasure it, for it is very lucky.

Safety in Witchcraft - My Digital Grimoire Series

I think it’s really important that we talk about a very pertinent and relevant topic:

How to spot fake crystals!

“Fake” in reference to crystals can mean many different things depending on who you ask, but we’ll cover all of them. Dyed stones, heat treated, glass, man made, mislabeled/marketed, etc.

As the crystal community grows, so do the counterfeit dealers! One of the fakes I see most often are the small little bullet shaped points made into pendants, with very over exaggerated color and patterns, that are being sold at extremely low prices and readily available at places like Walmart, Five Below, and Amazon. These are either made from resin/plastic or dyed glass, and possess absolutely no metaphysical properties or vibrational energy.

Another way to spot a fake is if the price is just too good to be true. While I am able to offer stones (IG @petriquartz) at a lower price than most retail metaphysical stores, it’s usually just because those places are OVER charging for their product. While you don’t want to overpay, you also don’t want to underpay, as that is an indication that the stone you are purchasing is not genuine.

If a stone is one with a natural pattern, we want to be sure that the pattern is not completely uniform or symmetrical. A patterned stone that is often faked, as it is on the rarer and pricier side, is malachite. A good way to tell if your malachite is genuine is to see if the stripes on your stone are dark green or black. Black stripes that are very uniform are a tell-tale sign that what you have is a fake.

Now what about heat treated stones??? The vast majority of the time, heat treated amethyst is marketed and sold as citrine. While this isn’t really false, it is a little deceptive. Amethyst and citrine are both varieties of quartz. The only difference is the oxidized state of the iron impurities within the mineral. Naturally occurring citrine is quite rare, which is the result of natural heat and pressure applied to amethyst over a very long period of time. We are able to simulate that effect by heat treating pieces of amethyst in order to speed up the process.

Finally, let’s talk about man made stones. Some of the most popular man made crystals include opalite, goldstone, and blue sandstone. Some people debate whether or not these man made stones still possess any sort of metaphysical properties while not coming directly from the earth. Whether you use them in your own practice or just have them as display pieces in your house is totally up to you! Do what feels right, and if you feel called to them, there is nothing wrong with using them!

I hope that this can offer some insight to anyone just getting starting, or some guidance for anyone looking to purchase crystals!

Witchy Movie & Show Recommendations

Stuck in quarantine? Or just bored? Need something to watch? You’ve come to the right place! This list includes things that are NOT scary. For the latest version of this post, click [here]. I’ll update it if I watch new stuff! 

Movies

The Craft (1996) (On netflix)  This is an obvious one but it’s here nonetheless. I’m not usually into thriller/horror stuff but this movie only really has a few intense scenes. It has a nice plot and I like it because while exaggerated a bit, the representation of witchcraft in it is amazing. 

The Love Witch (2016) (On amazon prime)  I adore this movie! It is a horror movie and there are some very intense moments but like The Craft it has a nice plot and a color scheme and 60s sort of aesthetic. It’s so calm and beautiful sometimes I just forget it’s even labeled as a scary movie. Also like the craft it has an impressively accurate depiction of witchcraft. If you like witchy movies, horror movies, witchy aesthetic or practice glamour/love magic and wanna see dark twist on that then please watch this movie.  The Witch (2015) (On netflix)  This is a slow burn sort of horror movie. There’s definitely gore, but I’d describe it as more disturbing than scary. The plot is centered around the family’s slowly building suspicion that their eldest daughter is a witch. It’s certainly not realistic. But very occult-y and scary. Probably the scariest thing on this list. If you’re looking for a real horror movie, here it is.  Coraline (2009) (On netflix) I actually have a post about all the witchcraft that’s in this movie despite it never explicitly mentioning witches. Link [here] if you wanna read it. Anyways! This movie is about a girl who discovers a secret door that leads her to another world that’s much like her own. Everything is a bit off though, and her ideas about the world begin to unravel. Creepy, but not gory at all. 

Mary & The Witch’s Flower (2017) (On netflix) Looking for something feel good and not scary? This one is for you! In this movie Mary finds a hidden magical flower that leads her to a school for witches. It’s super cute, get yourself a cat and some tea and relax to this one.  Hocus Pocus (1993) This is a favorite from when I was a kid. It’s spooky but in a very Disney, kid friendly sort of way. Good for someone that wants to watch something quirky and laid back.  Halloweentown (1998) Also a favorite from when I was little! This one is about a girl who discovers her grandma is from “Halloweentown” a place where supernatural creature live, and she’s a witch. It’s not a realistic representation of witches at all but it’s also very quirky and cute. 

Shows

The Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina (2018) (On netflix) I really love this show! It’s got some spooky parts like the movies mentioned above but the majority of it is just a bit dramatic at most. It has some heartfelt and funny moments too. The association with Satanism that the show has isn’t ideal but it’s still one of my favorite shows ever, definitely my favorite show about witchcraft and the occult.  Bewitched (Premiered 1964)  An oldie but a goodie. This is a sitcom from the 60s that I’ve watched since I was little. It’s about a woman, Samantha, who falls in love with a mortal and therefore has to pretend to be one. Very casual, good background noise. 

Little Witch Academia (2017) (On netflix)  This lovely little anime is about an underdog of a girl, Akko, who accidentally finds herself at a school for witches. Not spooky at all, very cutesy!  I hope you’ve found something good to watch here.  Have a lovely day! 💖
