Sleepy Morning Witchcraft 🕊✨

la-petitefille

What’s more lovely than the sight of a new day? If you ever wake up feeling mentally yucky, try these little things to help ease your mind. The plus? You don’t even have to leave your bed!

☁️ When your eyes have fluttered open, begin your day by just paying extra attention to your breathing. Don’t check your phone first thing - Instead, take as many deep breaths as you like while you lay in your comfy bed. Stretch. Your legs, your arms… Your whole body. You know those extra-big yawns than come with a full-body stretch, the ones that just feel heavenly? Do one of those!

☁️ Take notice of how soft the sheets feel on your toes, how warm and encompassing your comforter is. Try to carry this warm and fuzzy feeling with you throughout the day. Becoming more aware of simple little things will help you take notice of them more often.

☁️ Consider making a small, personal scent-bag to place underneath your pillow. This can be filled with any herb that smells wonderful to you - mine contains lavender and a rose quartz stone to promote sweet dreams. Yours can have anything you like! (Rosemary, Chamomile, Mint - even go as far as to spritz it once or twice with a favorite perfume for extra scented loveliness). When you wake in the morning, gently rub your scent bag between your fingers. Try repeating a positive mantra to yourself in your head(or out loud) during this slow, rhythmic, back-and-forth motion.

☁️ Keep a favorite candle near your bed to light first thing in the morning! It could simply be a favorite scent, or be a color that represents what you would like more of in life - green for financial matters, blue for a more relaxed lifestyle, red for passion and romance. Say a small thanks or silently set your intention for the day while lighting it.

I hope you give these little things a try! Once it’s time to roll out of bed, treat yourself to a morning cup of tea, coffee, or hot chocolate, and drink it near the window. Breathe in the soft, chilled air, and remind yourself that the day is just as fresh as this air is. ♡

Witch Tips 11

Here goes another 10 witch tips. Dont forget to check out the #10tips tag on my blog to see rhe past 100 tips!

1. Paint protection symbols on walls, then paint over them.

If you’re painting the walls in your house by yourself, this is a great way to place sigils or symbols! Simply paint them on, then paint over them in the same color to hide them. Alternatively, you could draw them on with a pencil and then paint over them that way.

2. Watch out for these bad omens

A crow hitting your window

Bread split down the center when baking

Dreaming of walking through muddy water

Or seeing multiple moons

Early blooming of a peach tree

Hearing a whistle outside at night

Broken or cracked picture frames.

3. Draw a hand in your grimoire and label what the different lines mean

This is a tip to help you learn palm reading. Although I’m sure everyone wishes they could have one of those super cool hand statues that have the different lines painted on them, some of us aren’t that lucky. It’s just as good to draw out a hand in your grimoire and label it yourself. This may help you memorize it better.

4. Always check the area out before casting circles in the forest.

I learned this one the hard way. My fellow witch and I were wandering around in the forest late one evening. We’re travelers, so it was our first time in that area of a new town we ventured into. We had been hiking for only a short while before we came to this beautiful clearing. It was surrounded by trees and a few had fallen so it made a great place to set up (we had gone into the woods with the intention of performing a ritual, so all of our supplies were in my backpack) We were right in the middle of a spell when we saw a flashlight pointing our way. Long story short, we hadn’t realized that we were just downhill from a sidewalk that wrapped itself around a nearby playground. The light was a cop who had gotten a tip about two people “burning mysterious substances” AKA sage and incense. I had to explain to a cop that we were witches right in the middle of a ritual. It was awkward, we were awkward, please check out the area if you’re going to perform witchcraft in a forest. Not to mention, you should also do this in case theres any wildlife nearby that may not want the company.

5. You don’t have to call yourself a witch if it makes you uncomfortable.

I use witch as a gender-neutral term. So do many, many other people. My boyfriend is a cismale and he uses the term witch. I’m a cisfemale and I use the term witch. I have another cismale friend who prefers the term “Warlock” although many people refuse to because of the negative connotations surrounding it. I know some people who just call themselves “Magick Beings” because they’re genderqueer. It’s up to you. Please don’t ever feel excluded because I use the word “witch” and not something else. It’s gender neutral, anyone and everyone can be a witch if they so desire.

6. Save your sage ashes

Sage ashes can have many great uses. You could fill a sachet with them for protection, you could sprinkle them around your home, put them in a tiny jar & make it into a necklace, sprinkle them on your doorstep or in your shoes, or about a billion other things. Everything has a use!

7. Bless the objects you carry with you

Bless your phone, bless your wallet, bless your keys, bless your jewelry. Basically, anything you carry with you on an everyday basis should be blessed. It’s not necessary but it’s definitely for the better good! If you’re going to carry something anyways, why not make it more magickal useful for you than it already is?

8. Keep track of your dreams and write down recurring themes and their meanings.

You can do this in a dream journal or in your grimoire. I also recommend getting a book of dream interpretation to aid in this. This can be an easy way to see what your dreams are trying to tell you and to keep track of them. Try doing what your dreams seem to suggest for you and see if the patterns change!

9. If you do curses regularly, get a second cauldron for that.

Like I’ve said many times before, I personally don’t believe any good comes from cursing. That being said, I do believe in every witches right to do what they so desire. Even if that includes things I wouldn’t do. So if you curse, I need you to be as safe as possible. Along with all of the other necessary precautions, it’s a great idea to use a second cauldron for making cursed mixtures or potions. You still need to clean this cauldron drastically after every use, but this is an extra step to take to prevent yourself from getting hurt.

10. Don’t date people who condemn witchcraft

For some people, this may be obvious, but others may need to hear it. You can’t help who your family is, and your acquaintances aren’t always significant enough for their opinions on your craft to matter. But when it comes to partners, please do what’s best for you. Don’t waste your time on people who can’t/won’t accept you for who you are. If you’ve educated your partner on the subject and they still refuse to respect your witchcraft, let them go. They’re not worth your time. This goes for any part of you that matters to you, really. If someone doesn’t like you for you, then they have no business dating you.

Alright, that’s all folks! I’m a little late on this one because I was offline all day yesterday, so I thank you for your patience and for reading this! Remember to message me or send an ask my way whenever you want to. Have a wonderful day, witches!

✨Sleep Prayer/ Chant for children✨

~Just one of my own poems/ rhymes I sing to my kids at night~


Hush now, my baby

Don’t make a sound

Dreams, sweet dreams

I pray you have found


Close your eyes, little one

Find rest this night

Under moon, under stars

Soft celestial light


Sleep now, my baby

Until morning comes

Sleep now, my baby

My little love



(I usually burn incense before I sing it. And while I sing it I have a candle lit down the hall on the bathroom counter)


This is one of my personal daily acts of magic/ devotion that I incorporate into my every day life and include my children in.

Facts About Celtic Polytheism

mathan-na-mara

  • Commonly referred to as Druidism or Druidry, both terms are incorrect.
  • A Druid is a political title within the Celtic Polytheistic religions equivalent to that of a priest/priestess.
  • A practitioner of Celtic Polytheism is not called a Druid. Not unless that practitioner is a priest or counselor to other Celtic Polytheists.
  • Despite common belief, Wicca, and Neo-Druidism are technically not Celtic religions; but rather Celtic inspired or influenced religions.
  • Celtic Polytheism is not witchcraft. A practitioner of Celtic Polytheism is never called a witch or a wizard.
  • Celtic Polytheism is actually a family of religions rather than a singular religion itself.
  • The religion branches are Gaelic Polytheism, Brythonic Polytheism, Gallaecian Polytheism & Celtiberian Polytheism, Gaulish Polytheism, and Pictish Polytheism.
  • Each of these religions have regional differences. For example, the gods and stories of Ireland, the Scottish Highlands, and the Isle of Man are mostly the same or similar with minor differences.
  • All of the Celtic Polytheistic religions are technically extinct, however many stories from Ireland, and Wales have survived in particular.
  • Modern Celtic religions are referred to as Celtic Reconstructionist Polytheism, or simply Celtic Reconstructionism.
  • There is not a common pantheon of gods, as there were many different gods in each religion. While some gods appear in multiple religions with different names, majority of Celtic gods are unique to their branches.
