Aphrodite prayer

Aphrodite prayer

I feel with all the attacks on NSFW and other works that the love goddess might be feeling a bit attacked. So here is a prayer for her.

Let there be love

Let there be nights of passion

Let there be small acts of kindness

Let there be women set free

Let the be art of thy love

Aphrodite you are love and you are loved.

Warding With Spiderwebs

So, I know a lot of people are scared of spiders and dont want them anywhere near them. I don’t like spiders but as long as they’re not on my bed or wherever I may be working, it’s fine. Why am I fine with it? Because spiders help catch other nasty bugs that you don’t want crawling around, including other spiders. So instead of killing them or releasing them (it all depends if you have like a spider infestation or not, this is for the people with a few spiders here and there), how about they help you in return for helping them? So here’s some really neat warding concepts:

-Use the spiderwebs to catch any negative energy to turn into good energy for the spider. You both get something.
-Use the spiderwebs as a physical and non-physical barrier, charge them with protection spells and energy or what not and it will keep you, as well as the spider, safe.
-Have lots of spiders? Release the ones you find and leave behind 2 or 3, it’ll bring good karma back to you and you may make a wish for each spider you release.

Well there you go. Hopefully this helps some people with warding and/or getting over their fear of spiders. Good luck!

Interesting ideas. I don’t know of anyone who makes a wish on spiders, but I do like the protection spells into spiderwebs. I feel like it makes them “stick” better, if that makes sense.

You’ve mentioned Casting Stones: What are they?

red-moon-witch:

My casting stones are my first divination tool which I devised when I was a baby witch because I couldn’t afford to go out and buy a pendulum or tarot cards. 

The idea for them was inspired by Elder Futhark Runes and Pendulums. I wanted something that could reliably answer Yes/No questions, regardless of slightly shaky hands. I haven’t seen anything similar to them so I wanted to share how I made them and how to use them for all the baby witches and broke witches, or people who are just looking for a different kind of divination tool. 

I picked four smooth river stones from a nearby stream.  that could all fit in my hand at once. They’re all different shapes and but mostly are the same size, and are fairly flat. each of them is a color i connect with one of the four elements. A reddish one for fire, an off white one for wind, a true brown for earth and a dark grey for water. I find that this distinction in color brings more balance to the Casting stones as a group. Then on one side of each of them I drew a sigil each  for truth, connection to the universe, connection and answered questions.  

Here’s how they work: Casting stones like pendulums can tend to take on a life of their own, developing a personality as you work with them. Mine can, and do sass me when I ask silly, confusing or indulgent questions. 
They can be used to ask questions of spirits or of the universe, and I have even on a few occasions used them to communicate with deities. I recommend cleansing and charging them once a month at least. The following is the method for using them. 

1. Hold the stones and ask the question aloud or in your head. 
2. Toss the stones. 
3. Interpret the results

4 stones face up, is a definitive yes. 
3 stones face up is a yes, but the answer may be influenced by your actions. 
2 stones face up and 2 face down is an unknown, or a maybe. 
3 stones face down is a no, but the answer may be affected by your actions. 
4 Stones face down is a definitive no. 

And there you have it! I hope this can be helpful for the witches out there who are looking for another divination option!
