What I got up to during the full moon

-
This was the first full moon since restarting my witchcraft journey that I really took advantage of this moon phase. I did myself a tarot spread which I wrote about in my last post, so here's the rest of what I got up to this full moon.

I've most practising witches (I assume) I took the opportunity to get all all of my crystals charged up and made myself some moon water which I'm excited to put to good use!


I tired out a lot of new stuff this full moon too. I spoke about this in my last post, but I finally got around to trying out some sex magic using the audio guide provided by Layla Martin. I wasn't sure how well it would go, purely based on the fact that I'd be listening to someone talk while I was performing it, but to my surprise it worked out pretty well for me! I'd sent myself up a nice little area to set the vibe and really enjoyed it. Definitely something I'll be doing again.



As well as performing rituals, I decided to seize the opportunity to get busy with making some things to use in upcoming spells and practices. I've been wanting to try out making oil infusions so now seemed like the perfect time. With my plans made to be practising sex magic laid out and though I knew I wouldn't be able to use it straight away, it seemed like the obvious oil to make was a love one. I'm really looking forward to be able to use this!



I did have to face a bit of learning curve with this though. Note to self, don't infuse in the bottle you're planning on keeping your oil in; getting the plant matter out is super difficult with a narrow neck. I learned this the hard way when the bottle I was using's seal wasn't very tight and had to transfer it over. 



Decanting it over into jar worked out much better and the next thing I knew I was working on another oil and have plans for a Divination one next!


I don't know about anyone else but I ended up feeling pretty zapped after this phase - I wonder if that has anything to do with the eclipse? I definitely feel like I need some down time after everything I got up to. I hope you guys had a good one too and were able to get what you needed out of it!

I woke up this morning and stirred for a few minutes as I normally would, rubbed the sleep out of my eyes etc. and had last night's dream pop back into my head. I'm normally a pretty vivid dreamer; I always have been since I was a kid. The majority of the time my dreams are like watching a movie and I joke and say even when I'm having nightmares, I do kind of enjoy them in a weird way because it's free entertainment (and boy do I enjoy a horror movie). Last night's wasn't on par with classic slashers and monster flicks. Quite the opposite actually, but it did feature ghosts, specifically those of my late grandparents. Essentially the dream consisted of me being in their house and watching them as spirits getting ready to go to an evening function. Both of my grandparents had busy social lives and when they were both in good health, would often be going about on day trips or going to night time events. My grandma especially loves an opportunity to get dolled...

I'm in love with The Love Witch

What's this? Another post? Already?? So I'm a little late to the game on this one and no doubt anyone remotely interested in watching films that are about witchcraft or the occult in general will have most likely seen Anna Biller's 2016 The Love Witch already. Well I hadn't until the other week and let me tell you something - I LOVED it. I'd seen stills from this film floating around the internet (specfically from the first scene we see the protagonist in the Victorian tea rooms) and up until I tuned into The Witch Wave's podcast episode interviewing Biller I had assumed it was a film from the 1960s (this is a really good episode and I'd highly reccomend checking it out!) I mean, just look at it? You'd be easily fooled into thinking this film was relased around the time of classics like Breakfast at Tiffany's. To be perfectly honest, even looking at it now, I am still asounded that this film was only relased four years ago. The...

I always find that the most difficult part of getting a new blog up and going is getting the first post out of the way so I'm just gunna bite the bullet and get it over and done with. My name's Charlotte, I'm based in the UK and after a really long hiatus, I'm getting back into practising witchcraft. I've had a series of not-so-pleasant events occur recently, but out of it I feel like I'm starting to reconnect with myself in a way I haven't really done for probably coming up ten years. It feels massively overdue but I'm relieved that it's happening. I couldn't even tell you what prompted me to get back into witchcraft it was just something that over time started to come back to me and before I knew it I was back to researching, updating my book collection and making plans to expand my crystal collection. I'm lucky in that I have close friend who are also interested in practising which I think is probably where I fell short as a teenager ...
