Yoga Magick and Witchcraft: Chakras 101 Believe it or not, chakras and witchcraft work hand in hand, so, for today's post, we are going to a quick rundown of the 7 Chakra System and why it's important for witches to understand what each Chakra symbolizes and how an aligned chakra system can pave the path for a better quality of life and magickal practice. This article is just going to serve as a very brief guide to understanding the chakra system, just so you have a basic principle of what they are and how they work, as its a very helpful system for furthering spiritual development. In the future, I will be doing Chakra meditations and spells for each chakra with a deeper exploration of each chakra and ways you can unblock the chakras. Make sure you're subscribed to my YouTube channel and my blog so you don't miss out. Chakra 101 For Witches There are seven main chakras, located along the spine from the tailbone to the crown of the head, that act as energy centers within our body. Each chakra has its own set of characteristics and properties that are important for us to understand when it comes to using witchcraft to tap into our energy. The word "Chakra" means "wheel" in Sanskrit, so when a Chakra is blocked, think of something in the energetic body being out of alignment; energy is constantly moving and if the chakra, "wheel" is blocked, we aren't moving as effectively. Each of these chakras has its own unique properties and powers that can be used in your spiritual practice. Working with each chakra is essential for a balanced and healthy life. Opening, clearing and balancing these seven major energy centers helps us to stay connected to our higher selves, to the universe and to our true purpose. With this connection, we can access a deeper level of understanding and wisdom. In witchcraft, each of these seven chakras can be used as a source of power to bring about desired changes in manifestation work, healing rituals, and spellwork as well as connection to intuition and spirit. When the chakras are out of alignment, energy does not flow thus creating a blockage. So when you hear about how a Chakra is "blocked" or "out of alignment", its important to have an understanding of what each chakra represents so you can get to the root of the problem and realign yourself. The 7 Chakras for Witches 1) Root Chakra (Muladhara) The root chakra, known as Muladhara, is located at the base of the spine, and is associated with survival and safety While all chakras are equally important, this chakra is the foundation of your being. When I feel my feet firmly planted on the ground and energy flowing to the earth is when I know my root chakra is in alignment. The root chakra is represented by the color red and the elements are Earth and Fire. When this chakra is out of alignment, you aren't feeling grounded or rooted, and you may have stomach pain, weight gain, and restlessness. 2) Sacral Chakra (Swadhisthana) The sacral chakra, Swadhisthana, is located just below the navel, is associated with creativity and pleasure. Its color is orange and its element is Water for creativity and emotions should flow freely. A lot of intuitive work is done here for many psychics and tarot readers as emotions are related to empathy. When the sacral chakra is out of alignment, you may either feel a lack of control, or overcompensate by being too controlling. 3) Solar Plexus (Manipura) The solar plexus chakra, Manipura, is located at the midpoint between the navel and base of the breastbone, is associated with personal power, will and self-esteem. Its color is yellow and its element is Fire. If you are feeling very unsure of yourself, indecisive, lack confidence, or build your confidence by pleasing others, your Solar Plexus chakra is probably blocked. 4) Heart Chakra (Anahata) The heart chakra, located in the center of the chest just above the heart, is associated with love, compassion, optimism and emotional balance. Its color is green and its element is Air. An Imbalanced heart chakra is represetended by anger, lack of trust, anxiety, and depression. 5) Throat Chakra (Vishuddha) The throat chakra, located at the base of the throat, is associated with communication and expression of truth and positive self expression. Someone with a blocked throat chakra may be experiencing timidness, a feeling a weakness, and a repressed voice. Its color is blue and its element is Ether. 6) Third Eye Chakra (Ajna) The third eye chakra is located in the center of the forehead, between the eyes. It is associated with intuition and insight. Its color is indigo and its element is Light. This chakra opens us up to higher levels of consciousness and psychic abilities. An overactive ego, self sabotage/fear of success may symbolize an imbalanced third eye chakra. 7) Crown Chakra (Sahastrara Chakra) Finally, the crown chakra is located at the top of the head and is associated with spirituality and connection to a higher power. Its color is violet and its element is Spirit.The crown chakra, located at the top of the head, is associated with universal consciousness and spiritual connection. Its color is violet and its element is Thought. A blocked root chakra is symbolized by fear, melancholy and lack of purpose. These seven chakras are powerful tools for personal growth and evolution and I highly encourage you to famalirazie yourself with their basic concept. When used in combination with witchcraft, they can help enhance your practice by allowing you to move energy and begin to have a deeper understanding with energy work. Use the symbolism of each chakra to set intentions for magickal rituals and awaken the spiritual power within. Connecting with your chakras through meditation, visualization and energy work will help you access a higher level of personal awareness and power, channel energy a lot more effectively, and live your life in upmost alignment. Next time we visit the Chakras we will be doing a deep dive on the root chakra and root chakra magick! I can't wait to share with you! What chakra are you working on? Share below! Until next time! xx

How to Create a Travel Altar For Witches Are you a traveling witch trying to keep your zen on while out on the road? Travel altars are a great way to stay in touch with your spiritual practice, especially when you're out on the road and out of your regular space and routine. I will sometimes use a travel altar as an anchor point when dealing with the chaos of traveling. Especially in recent years, I've realized that staying centered is non negotiable for me. While I may not need to feel centered when I'm actually traveling, having and maintaining that consistent practice has proved itself to be essential to maintaining stability whenever I'll get back from a trip. Do you ever find it hard to resume back to "real life" after a great vacation or a journey away from home? Maintaining any form of a spiritual practice is going to be super helpful for that. A travel altar is also a great way to add a little magick to your travels!! For example, I recently visited Sedona, Arizona and Taos, New Mexico (Which are known for their very powerful crossroads and energy vortexes.), so you better believe I brought my travel altar with me as a way to connect with that delicious energy. Not to mention to conjure up some magick while I was out there. Travel Altar Essentials: A Travel Altar Box: Honestly, this is purely for badass, witchy aesthetic purposes, but I like having a special box for my travel altar if space allows. I'm just that witch and something about pulling my spiritual tools out of a box just feels so right. The size of the box will depend on how much room you have in your suitcase, but a medium sized wooden box should suffice, I love mine with little carvings. My moon sister Daena actually has a really beautiful used jewelry box as her travel altar box, and it's especially awesome because it's a bit compartmentalized. You could totally find one at a local thrift store. If you're an artsy witch, you can totally decorate the box however you'd like, you can paint it, or you can even do some cool wood burning designs with sigils, your name, or other symbology. Altar Cloth: I think this one is a given, especially since you're on the road you will need a dedicated space. A pretty handkerchief works very great for this if you'd like a smaller option. Candle: I would pack a couple chime candles especially if you typically use them in your meditative practice. For me, nothing chills me out than gazing into a candle after a long day. Plus they're very light and store super easily. Don't forget the candle holder! Incense: Cone incense is the most ideal because they come with a little metal dish in each package, so it's less to pack and you won't feel bad if you lose it. I wouldn't necessarily recommend burning this in a hotel room or airbnb, but these are great for outdoor purposes. Lighter: Oh how many times have I forgotten a light or matches. Just a friendly reminder so you have something to check off your list and aren't without it! Grounding Spray or Essential Oil: Especially if you aren't into using incense or sure it's appropriate for where you're staying, essential oils are super easy to squeeze into your travel altar kit, and super handy to have. Florida water is super handy, and a great go-to if you're looking for a general cleansing spray. Divination/Oracle Cards: I find that I need to be connected with my divination practice at all times or I lose my connection to them. These aren't essential to bring, but I generally try to do a "card of the day" when I'm out just to maintain the connection to my deck. If I need a deeper dive, I'll do a 3 card spread. And don't let anyone tell you any different, an oracle card is just as valuable as a tarot card! But that'll be another blog post, for sure. Mini Cauldron: A mini cauldron can be great for burning incense, having a small and controlled space for fire if you need to create a little fire and toss something into it, great for burning charcoal's, the list goes on. Be sure to get a cast iron one, or your charcoal workings might turn it into a one-time use cauldron! Crystals: A small geode or small small crystal like a tigers eye crystal if you're a crystal witch never hurts. I always have a crystal in my tarot bag anyhow so this is easy to bring around. If you want to be extra efficient just bring a necklace with a crystal on it so you're fashionable and grounded. Haha. A small empty jar, or plastic ziplock bag or two. Especially if you're going to a spiritual space, or a space with a ton of history, consider collecting some dirt so you can take some the spirit of the land with you. Pick and choose what feels right to you! I personally am more whole when I have my tarot deck with me, or my witchy protection crystal necklace that I have spent many a full moon dancing with it under the beautiful night sky. Take with you what feels right, and try things out too! If something just doesn't vibe with you, that's okay! Try again with a different thing, whatever it may be. The point is to keep you as the witch empowered at all times and in all places. Magick comes from within you, and you will always be able to access it, but sometimes it helps to bring a little piece of your sacred space with you from time to time. Have you ever brought a travel altar with you before? Are you super excited to get one started? Tell me about it in the comments, and thank you for following. me on this beautiful journey The Season of Anya! Please check out my Youtube @SeasonofAnya and have a blessed, blessed day.

What is Crossroads Witchcraft? What does it mean to be a Crossroads Witch? Well first, ask yourself "What does it mean to stand in the Crossroads?", or "What is a Crossroad in Witchcraft?". Whether you've walked the crossroads your entire life, or if today's the day you find yourself beginning your crossroads journey, I say the same to whoever you are; Welcome Home, Witch. Let's take the basic definition of the word crossroads: which is a road or a path. That's okay, in fact that's perfect. We are all on different paths in our lives, and Witchcraft is no exception. When you face a crossroad, it's about focusing and observing the different options. Your life will forever change depending on what path you take, so be sure to think carefully when choosing a path. It's encouraged to spend time hanging out in front of those crossroads, and see which path is more to your liking. Does one follow a bright, shiny yellow brick road that's got a clear way ahead? Or maybe the one leading into the dark forest of unknown excitement is the one that calls to you? Standing in the Crossroads The crossroads are a place of "In-between", as a wise witch has taught me. It is the place between worlds. A time without time, a place without a place. And so much fun happens in those beautiful, magickal moments! It's the very place where you are neither in, nor out. You both have, and have not made that big scary work decision and instead of stressing your mind, body, and soul out over it, make the decision to dance in that uncomfortable energy. By dancing in that crossroad, the answer we seek reveals itself to us. It's not always about finding and seeking the answer, but allowing yourself to receive it. By making yourself comfortable in those uncomfortable stages of life, you can make decisions on which path to take with a clearer and more dynamic headspace. Crossroads Witchcraft can be called "Grey Magick" as it's both light and dark. There will be a whole different post on the various shades of magick, but simply put, the Crossroads are the great. It's life and death, it's everything else, in-between breaths. It's neither harmful nor healing, it's not just about blessings and it certainly isn't only cursings, but instead Crossroads Witchcraft stands as both. It exists in a liminal space, and that space can be scary to some, but for many folks, the fear is simply in the unfamiliarity of it. There's so much you don't know when you can't see the end result of some of those paths you could take, but guess what? We don't always know what direction we're going in life. It doesn't have to be scary, and the sooner you accept it and work through that fear of the unknown, the happier and clearer your mind is to make meaningful choices in life. Utilizing the magick of the crossroads change your life drastically for the better, or worse, or not at all. The choice lies on those who journey. Yoga and the Crossroads The crossroads of eastern spirituality practices with American folkloric witchcraft also provides us with maintaining a clear mind at the crossroads. Yoga means union, and through a still mind and body, we can make clear and conscious decisions at these crossroads, as the clarity comes from the union of these 3 factors. Aside from the mental benefits of being a yoga practitioner, in Hinduism, the deity Ganesh represents overcoming obstacles, and overcoming fears. He is the wise elephant diety who sits on a mouse for his mount, the paradox here is the cliche of the big, scared elephant managing to overcome his squeamish fear of mice. Surely, a mouse can't be too comfortable for taking journeys on (for either parties involved) but Ganesh represents overcoming all obstacles on that journey. He still made the plunge, he still persevered and was able to journey. Ley Lines, Energy Vortexes and Crossroads Magick Ever heard of a ley line? It is said that electromagnetic lines connecting and interconnect us all (I personally refer to these as energy vortexes), and that ancient practitioners built their churches perfectly aligned with these ley lines. Some may say they simply were put there by accident, but spiritualists tend to believe there's no such thing as a coincidence. Common Ley Lines I mean, I'm suuuure it's just a coincidence that these places of immense power were all built on ley lines, but that's another debate. Nonetheless, here's some common key lines across our beautiful planet: St. Peter's Basilica, Vatican Stonehenge, United Kingdom Pyramids of Giza, Egypt Washington Monument, Washington DC, USA Temple Mount, Jerusalem Kaaba, Mecca, Saudia Arabia Sedona, USA Witchy Story Time: What I do find fascinating is that if this is true, we have these wonderful places throughout our world where we can stand at such points of power. Having the blessing of standing at one of these crossroads, was the most incredible experience of my life. I took this trip to journey with spirit and allowing myself to feel the power of the earth beneath me in the beautiful, yet somehow chilling nature of the dessert. What I didn't realize is that I would experience immense growth in myself, by allowing myself to walk to the edge of those crossroads on this trip, I had a moment with spirit, and for a moment, I journeyed at a literal crossroad, a path that I knew I shouldn't have taken. Spirit was there with me the whole time, asking me if I was sure I wanted to take this path, and through my stubbornness, I ignored his wisdom, and got myself into a little bit of trouble, and I knew it. Through a very exhilarating situation I was able to focus enough, by surrendering and believing in myself, and got a flash of what it felt like to get myself out of my own head, and fortunate enough to turn around and take a different path. I had this experience on the first day of my trip, after experiencing the fear of the crossroads, as the law of recricprocity explains, I was able to step back, and feel the power of Divinity all around me. I had questioned if I could truly process energy as a physic intuitive on this trip, but after so distinctly physically feeling spirit in my heart, it forever changed my bond with the Divine. The moral of this story is as long as we make wise, conscious choices at these crossroads, spirt will be there to support and us, should we listen. There's more to this story.....if anyone is curious? Witchcraft and the Crossroads There are a handful of deities that honor and represent the Crossroads that many of the witches in our coven work with, such as Hecate, the keeper of the crossroads. I have learned about this goddess through my moon sister Daena, and with our coven we often On many dark moons we gather offerings from plants and flowers and place them at a literal crossroads at midnight. In almost every magickal path, you'll find a deity to the crossroads. Hermes for the Greek, vikings love Heimdall, conjuring folk have Papa Legba waiting for them at the crossroads, there is even a Japanese god Chimata-No-Kami who honors their crossroads. Each deity is honored in their own way, and if the crossroads call to you, lean in a little bit and see if there is someone waiting for you at the crossroads. Working with the entities at the crossroads may just be taking the moment to listen and heed the messages of spirit when they offer us divine guidance. How many times have we been given good advice and not followed it, instead, submitting to our own ego and falling into our same patterns? Spirits at the crossroads may just be that voice in your head that's is yearning to be heard. Do yourself a favor and give it a listen, allow the magick to happen. When witches, and spiritualists find that we aren't in alignment with our highest selves we often find ourselves at a personal crossroads. What we don't realize is that we often find ourselves taking that very same path, over and over again, because it's the one that's the most familiar. Taking that path may seem to offer us everything we want in life, yet why do we continuously find ourselves at that same fork in the road? Just because the path we are the most familiar with is presented to us, time and time again, doesn't mean it's the best path for us. Sometimes taking the path into that dark, mossy forest leads to a land far more beautiful land than ever imagined, but only if we dare to have enough courage to enter through the unknown. Sometimes we mistake the darkness, for dangerous, because of our own self constructed image of safety. From those challenges, will come obstacles, but the magick is when we can learn to press forward, and overcome them, move forward, and find a new path. Over time, we find that we finally have learned the lessons presented with us, and we are able to move forward with our path, ultimately presented with new obstacles. We should consider ourselves lucky to live our life as we pass through these crossroads. Many people choose the safe and predictable route, no matter how miserable it may be. Only a few will allow themselves empowerment to enter new depths. Further Reading Leaning in? For a bit more information on exactly how to work beautiful magick in the Crossroads, I would highly recommend to you a beautiful book written by my friend and mentor, Taren S, the witch herself who first showed me how to open the crossroads and how to dance in between. Crossroad Witchcraft is an amazing guide on what the Crossroads are, and a ton of great workings inside! Have you ever stood in a crossroads before and didn't realize it until now? Tell us about it below and thank you all so very much for journeying with The Season of Anya with me, please check out my Youtube channel @SeasonofAnya for other fun videos and information!

June Full Moon Explained I've said it once and I'll say it again, Witches love full moons! The June full moon, known as the Strawberry Moon, typically is the last full moon between the spring and summer, it's right before the summer equinox and the apex of summer. While the May full moon, the flower moon represents the flowers blooming everywhere, this full moon represents the time where we may start seeing early harvests. I like to think of this time as a time of fine tuning, of refinement. Since these moons are based on the Farmers Almanac and harvesting cycles, let's reference a tomato plant. Right now, this plant may not be fully mature, but the flowers may have turned into tiny unripened tomatoes. When growing crops, sometimes we need to prune our growing plants in order to preserve energy. Sometimes we will see little sproutlings at the bottom of the tomato plant beginning to branch out and grow. While at first glance, it may be exciting to see even more vitality emerge from a single plant, it's often recommended that we cut out the excess as it actually takes away from the growth of the plant. Pssst: Want a free Full Moon release spell for your BoS? Click here! June Full Moon and Tarot Divination and Full Moons go hand-in-hand. This moon has a lot of seven of cups energy, the person on the card is faced with a lot of choices, all seem rich and filled with opportunity, but can only choose one that's the best suited for them and what's best suited for their present circumstance. Saying no to excess is not a bad thing at this time. If you feel called this full moon, pull a three card tarot spread and see what it is this full moon says to you! As promising as the possibilities of a a multi-branching tomato plant is, the extra branches takes away energy from the main plant, and will actually inhibit the overall growth of the plant, stalling the size and production of this plant. This doesn't mean to completely hull the plant, but this moon encourages us to be mindful to focus on what's in front of us and not getting caught up in the possibilities (good or bad). When releasing during this full moon, it's important to examine your life and aspirations. Are you taking on too many projects right now? Are you a bit greedy? Can you handle the load that's in front of you or will you be taking away energy from more important avenues of life. How's your mental load? Are you stuck in the endless anxiety loop of "what ifs?". June Full Moon Releasing Spell If you're stuck on how to release these aspects of your life, try out this quick working me and my coven did during the May moon cycle: Light a bonfire (or light something on fire over a cauldron), and throw into the bonfire a physical representation of what you are trying to release, and say: "Into this smoke, I release All of the energies that do not serve me All of the negativity that surrounds me, and all of the fears that limit me, Blessed be." Click here if you'd like a pretty download of this spell for your BoS Nuture and cultivate what's in front of you instead of focusing on what can be, be happy with what you've got. This full moon is a great time to illuminate what you have, what's right in front of you, and what you've been working on, right now is not the time to take on new projects. Focus on your aspirations, and release the clutter and the excess, focus on what's in front of you and don't get distracted. How do you celebrate full moons as a witch? Tell us below in the comments, and thank you all so much for checking out my YouTube @TheSeasonofAnya!

Witchy Wisdoms Hi Everyone! Welcome to a new series I'm so happy to introduce to you, Witchy Wisdoms. In essence, this series will encompass all the wisdom I've learned on my journey...think of it as a Witchy Self help section. A huge part of my healing has been through incorporating the wisdoms I've learned through the years and actively applying it into my life. Not only has it helped me grow spiritually, but a lot of these wisdoms have helped me becoming a more vibrant, confident person, and I hope you will be able to pick up some wisdom along with the way, today's post is all about vibing with yourself, so let's begin! Witchy Wisdoms: Vibing with Yourself When on a healing journey, often times the hardest step is learning how to vibe with yourself. Whether it's recovering from chronic people pleasing, recovering from a breakup, divorce, or potentially toxic family members, it's imperative to learn how to enjoy your own company. It creates independence,, learn how to fill your own cup (not seeking validation from others), and build your own identity. Aside from all of this, it gives us the opportunity to self reflect. Often times in my healing journey, especially in times when situations take an unexpected turn, I often ask myself "What is the lesson?" which ultimately asks the question of, how can I grow from this situation. In order to do better and grow spiritually and embrace the journey of empowering yourself, the mind requires these moments of enjoyable solitude so it has the peace of mind to be in the present moment with your own company, and give yourself the space to dive deep into your past experiences. How to Vibe With Yourself: Vibing with yourself can be as simple as taking a few minutes in the morning to do some self-reflection. By beginning each day with moments of mindfulness and compassion, you can set yourself up for a successful day full of positive vibes. Meditation is an excellent tool to help you connect to your inner world and cultivate that all-important vibe. Really though, your vibe attracts your tribe, and if you're putting out this negative energy, or people pleasing energy because you lack confidence, those are the types of people you're going to attract, and probably have been attracting. Start by carving out a few minutes each day to sit in meditation and quiet your mind. Focus on the breath, tuning into its rhythm as it flows in and out of your body. Feel free to experiment with different types of visualizations or mantras that help you find peace within yourself. As you practice regularly, you will soon be able to access a calming feeling of inner peace whenever you need it. The idea is to sit quietly and allow yourself to clear your mind, noticing any sensations or thoughts that come up without judgment. It might be difficult at first, I personally really struggle with questing my mind even as someone with a lot of experience in meditation. Vibing With Yourself Through Artistic Expression Try something creative – drawing, painting or even cooking can be incredibly rewarding. Creative endeavors help you express yourself and cultivate an appreciation for the process rather than the end result. It's also a great way to pass time if you're feeling bored or lonely. Even if you're extremely novice, there are tons of ways to get that creative flow going. Sometimes even something as simple as finger painting or taking a very rudimentary approach to art like simply mixing water colors together can get you out of your head, but also grow a new hobby or a skill. I personally have enjoyed incorporating mixed media into my down time/art hobby because it's super easy, yet is so fun and allows me to stretch my creativity without having to be technically gifted. Dance it Out and Shake it Off Vibing with yourself can also be as free spirited as having a dance party alone in your apartment with yourself and a bottle of wine. While the wine is of course optional (and really not remotely necessary) dancing is so impactful and such a great benefit to our mental health. I love making myself dance even when I don't want to: I'll start to play a song, and look at myself in the mirror, visibly annoyed and start moving. In those moments of feeling down I almost do like a depressed looking, begrudging dance to make light of how I'm feeling, and then just by poking fun at myself am able to lighten up and smile at myself by the end of the song. Then I'll play another and just have fun with it. It gets rid of stagnant energy, releases much needed serotonina, and puts me back in my own energy so I can be more in my body and less in my head Keep it Simple: In addition to meditation, and exploring your artistic side, there are many other wonderful ways to enjoy your own company. Take some time for yourself each day and do something that brings you joy – whether it’s reading a book, going for a walk in nature, or simply taking an afternoon nap. Something as simple as cooking a new dish can be very grounding, but also a great new hobby to pick up. Plus, if you make it into a meal prep, you're doing your future self a favor. There are cool kits out there like Blue Apron that can set you up with inspiration and make cooking very approachable even if you're a total novice. Make a point to care for yourself, and enjoy your company in whatever way feels right. It’s important to take time to nurture your own wellbeing, and enjoying your own company is a great way to start. Start small – even if it’s just taking a few minutes each day to appreciate the beauty of the world around you, it will help bring a sense of peace and contentment. I love going on walks, and to keep myself grounded and in a positive headspace I made a point to enjoy what's around me, by literally commenting out loud "wow the sky is so pretty today", or "look at those beautiful flowers". In addition, you can use this appreciation of nature to further your artistic development by taking a beautiful photo simply with your phone. There are a ton of apps on there to make really cool edits. Furthermore, you can use those photos as a reference photo if you want to draw it out later, give it a try! Pro Tip: A friendly reminder to my hardworking, badass witches. Anything that is considered productive, or considered work does not count as vibing with yourself! This isn't about achieving, but keeping you grounded, connected with yourself, and nurturing the soul. In other words, it's all about you, boo. There are so many ways to vibe with yourself, and I could have gone on and on. I mean come on I didn't even mention how yoga is a great way to vibe with yourself (I'm a bad yoga witch, I know) . So with that said, how do you like to vibe with yourself? Inquiring minds want to know! Leave a comment down below. Until the next one. xx

How to Unblock Sacral Chakra for Witches As a witch, we know that the power of manifestation lies in within our energy centers. But, sometimes, when our emotions are blocked and we neglect our spiritual wellbeing, our chakras can become stagnant. This can lead us to feel creatively stifled, drained of passion, and disconnected from our intuition. One of the most important chakras for witches to focus on is the sacred sacral chakra, svadhisthana in Sanskrit. It's that delcious inner fire that we often yearn for, and is easily lost. This is a huge part of our life force (okay well I guess every chakra is!). Located just below the navel, this energy center is the source of your creativity, sexual energy, and emotional depth. In this blog, we'll dive into how to unblock your sacral chakra and ignite your inner fire. Pssst: Click here if you'd like a free Sacral Chakra Cheat Sheet for Your Book of Shadows How to Recognize and Release Blockages The first step in unblocking your sacral chakra is to recognize any blockages that may be present. These can manifest in different ways, such as fear of intimacy, disconnection from your body (huge one for me), or creative stagnation. Take time to reflect on what emotions or behaviors you may be experiencing that stem from a blocked sacral chakra. Once you've identified them, work on releasing them through meditation, journaling, creative expression or depending on the gravity of the situation, therapy! Embrace Your Sensuality Your sacral chakra is closely tied to your sensuality, so embracing it can be a powerful way to unblock the energy center. This doesn't necessarily mean engaging in sexual activities (I mean hey, you do you...safely), but rather embracing your senses and sensuality in a way that feels authentic to you. Try taking a bath with essential oils (Jasmine and Geranium are great for the Sacral Chakra) dancing to music that makes you feel alive, or wearing clothing that makes you feel confident and sexy. Connect with the Element of Water The element of water is closely associated with the sacral chakra, as it symbolizes flow, fluidity, and emotion. Embracing water in your spiritual practice can be a powerful way to unblock your sacral chakra. Spend time near a body of water, take a swim, or incorporate water-based meditations such as visualizing being at the beach, or a lake with great detail: Envision the scenery in this meditation, including the sounds of nature, the waves, the breeze, even the weather, etc. The more detailed the better as it allows you to get deep into the meditation. Explore Your Creative Side Your sacral chakra is the root of your creativity, so exploring your creative side is an excellent way to unblock the energy center. This can take many forms, from painting to writing to cooking to gardening, or creating an art book of shadow. I love doing this because it's very fluid and fun! You don't have to be a professional artist to enjoy this. Find an activity that brings you joy and allows you to express yourself in a way that feels natural. Don't worry about the end result; focus on the process and the joy of creation. Honor Your Emotions Finally, one of the most important ways to unblock your sacral chakra is to honor your emotions (bleh). This energy center is all about emotion and feeling deeply, so suppressing or denying your emotions can be detrimental to your chakra's health. But again, we can't move on to working with the other chakras until each energy center is flowing properly. A good full moon release can help if you're hanging on to stagnant emotions, and let's be honest, a good cry will always do the trick. Truly though, I feel that now days we aren't good at this! We need to feel, we need to release because when we do, we can make so much more room to receive the good stuff.

See You at Mystic South in Atlanta Georgia Hey witches, I'm going to my first ever Witchy Convention which will be Mystic South in the city of Atlanta, Georgia. This will be my first ever witchy convention and I can't wait to meet some of you there. Here is a description from their website: Join us for our fifth annual Mystic South Conference! Mystic South is filled with workshops, educational abstract presentations, rituals, community building, and much more. With the backdrop of the grand city of Atlanta, be a part of our celebration of the diversity of the peoples and religious practices, both past and present, that make up our region. I actually thought the fee was quite reasonable considering the amount of education that's available. Sometimes a few hour event can cost hundreds of dollars. I will be traveling with many members of my coven, and I'm just so excited to go. I've been in the witchcraft/metaphysical community for about 5 years, but with covid being a solid 3 of those years, a lot of these events were paused, or I wasn't able to make them. This lineup is badass too! Not gonna lie, I low key feel like the conference was made for me (shoutout to my Leo tendencies). But for real, this seems to be a nice, well rounded event for a multitude of practitioners. With that said, I'm especially excited to see the Yoga and Drum circles on the ternary every day. My friends at House of Witchcraft are actually hosting a badass hospitality suite and my mentor and international best selling author Taren S, was selected as one of the candidates for presenting a workshop on Introduction to Graveyard Dirt Magick, and I'm especially proud of her for being one of the presenters because this is quite a prestigious title. Taren, the coven members of HoW and myself will be hosting some parties in the evening in our hospitality suite....and boy do we love to dance! Don't worry, we are also hosting a tea time recovery hour as well in the day. Headliners of Mystic South will Include: Najah Lightfoot author Good Juju: Mojos,Rites & Practices for the Magical Soul, Corey Thomas Hutcheson, author of New World Witchery, Laura Temptest author of Weave in the Liminal: Living Modern Traditional Witchcraft, and Stephanie Rose Bird, author of 365 Days of Hoodoo: Daily Rootwork, Mojo & Conjuration. I will say, this event really has a nice balance of different topics and different practitioners of all backgrounds. It's important that we all get represented equally and learn and grow from each other. Anywho, I really just wanted to make it an actual announcement, because if any of you are coming there, or live in the south I'd love to see your faces there and meetup. I'm still figuring out my schedule, because there's so much to choose from! (PS--Mystic South did not pay me or ask me to make this post: Let's be honest, they have no idea who I am lol. I'm just sharing a cool event in case fellow yoga witches are interested in attending!) Have you ever been to a Witchy convention? Which ones are your favorite? You know what to do, comment below. PS--Subscribe to my YouTube channel? It would mean the world to me! Catch you on the next one!

An Easy Understanding of the Tarot Suits Hey fam, it's been a while since I've touched base on tarot, so here we go! In today's post we will be discussing the Four Elements in Tarot, also known as the tarot suits and I will be providing you an easy understanding of each suite. With that said, my interpretation of tarot is very simplistic, it's all about how it feels in the moment and what the cards, and the how energy of each card is speaking to you. Tarot has always held a mystical fascination for those seeking guidance and insight into their lives, and for good reason. It speaks to our innermost feelings and thoughts, revealing hidden truths and revealing our deepest desires. With the 78 cards in the deck, the Tarot can be daunting to understand, but by taking a closer look at the four suits and elements represented in them, we can gain a deeper understanding of the messages and meanings in our readings. With that said, this tarot series is meant to serve as a foundation of tarot. This isn't an academic approach to tarot, but rather an intuitive approach, which for me, has made tarot easy and understanding. I will probably say this a million times in this series, but when trying to learn tarot, just throw the damn book away, as my mentor put it to me many years ago. It's frustrating to not "know" the answers when inquiring with the tarot, but that's kind of the point. It's not a black and white answer that you can seek in a book. Working with our intuition is a very complex and simple idea. If what we're picking up on in the moment feels right, then that's how we begin to utilize tarot. With that said, if you haven't already, do check out my Picking Out A Tarot Deck post, because when you find a deck that really speaks to you, it will be a lot easier to intuitively understand and connect with its meanings. Go ahead and give it a read. What are the Four Tarot Suits and their Elements? The four suits in the Tarot represent the four elements - Wands represent fire, Cups water, Swords air, and Pentacles earth. Each suite contains ten numbered cards plus four court cards. These cards are often associated with specific areas of our lives and reflect our passions, emotions, thoughts, and material possessions. Understanding the meaning of the suits, their elements, and how they influence the cards when they appear in readings can provide us with valuable insights into our current situations and offer guidance for future decisions. Wands/Fire The Wands suite represents fire and is associated with our passions and desires, inspiration, creativity, and energy. The Wands cards often represent ideas, business ventures, and projects that require initiative, ambition, and enthusiasm to succeed. When this suite appears in readings, it suggests the need for action, motivation and taking charge of situations to achieve desired outcomes. Cups/Water Cups represent water and are associated with our emotions, feelings, and relationships. The Cups suite often appears in readings that focus on love, friendships, and emotional connections. The cards in this suite often depict the joys and sorrows of relationships and recommend that we connect with our feelings and take care of our emotional needs. Swords/Air Swords represent air and are associated with our thoughts, ideas, and beliefs. They often appear in readings that require clarity, truth, and objectivity. These cards can be challenging as they sometimes reveal our hidden fears and negative thoughts. However, they also suggest the need for decision-making and the use of our intellect and reason in our lives. Pentacles/Earth Pentacles represent earth and are associated with our material possessions, finances, and work. The Pentacles suite focuses on everything related to the material world - from money and career to our physical environment and possessions. The cards in this suite often suggest practical thinking, hard work, and determination to achieve long-term material goals. Sometimes when things are challenging or overwhelming, breaking it down into sections can help gain a greater understanding.

The Healing Power of Drum Circles If you know anything about me, you know I LOVE drumming! It is truly the heart beat to my soul. Since the beginning of time people have been using sound as a potent tool for healing and transformation. One of the oldest and most powerful forms of sound therapy is drumming. Beyond just entertainment, drumming can produce a wide range of benefits, including physical and emotional healing, relieving stress, and enhancing clarity and focus. In this blog post, we'll delve into the history of drumming, explore its various styles and techniques, and shed light on the healing power of drum circles. Basic History of Drumming Drumming has been a centerpiece of many cultures across the globe, dating back to ancient times. Native American cultures have a longstanding tradition of using drums in their spiritual rituals and healing practices. African tribes also have a rich history of drumming, using the rhythms to communicate with one another and enter altered states of consciousness. The drumming tradition holds significant importance in South Asian nations like India and Nepal, where it is used in classical and religious music. Not just limited to spirituality and cultural exchanges, drumming has a genuine place in human evolution. Studies have indicated that humans have been drumming as early as 50,000 years ago, where they have been using drums and percussion-like instruments for rituals. It has been theorized that drumming has been used in ceremonies to help bring people together and to connect them with the natural rhythms of the Earth. Healing Benefits in Drumming Drumming has been known to have a transformative effect on the mind and body. It reduces stress, anxiety and is beneficial in the alleviation of depression and other mood disorders. Drumming also helps boost the immune system by increasing the production of bactericidal and cytotoxic factors. Several studies have supported drumming as an effective pain relief mechanism. The physical and vibrating energy it creates is incredibly helpful in releasing blocked negative emotional traumas. Ultimately, it enhances the overall wellness of an individual. Different styles of drumming have different effects on the body and the mind. Hand drums, for instance, can stimulate the heart center, aiding in the release of emotions; while stick drums, such as a djembe, can invigorate and energize the body and mind. African Djembe and Conga drums are highly portable and perfect for playing alone or in groups, making them popular among drumming enthusiasts in recent times. My Experience with Drum Circles For about 2-3 years now, I've been dabbling in drumming among the local drumming community out here with the Aki and Joanne of the Muramid Art Center here in Oceanside, Ca. I don't even know where to begin to explain how the journey of drumming unfolded for me and the great love and passion I have for it. It all started with getting a broken djembe from offer up during the pandemic. It was one of those hobbies that I figured I'd pick up and try out. I remember once visiting Venice Beach in Los Angeles and was instantly drawn the the spirituality behind the drum. For me, drumming helps me connect with spirit. Aki refers the drum, the bass, the "boom boom", as he puts it. As the heartbeat of the earth, and I couldn't agree more. Something about that deep, rhythmic beat touches my soul and that of the drumming community. It unites us, it heals us, and creates something so profoundly magickal inside of through the unifying powers of the music. Of course, I had to get the biggest drum (I had no idea they came in different sizes), so the journey of having grace while drumming has been a whole experience in itself. For my djembe to properly sound off, I HAVE to hit it hard, and with that, when I'm doing good, I can carry that beat, but my goodness, when I'm off, it's a disaster for all those involved. Through the years, I've learned to take it less seriously, and it has given me the ability to laugh at myself through all my errors. Thank god I'm remotely decent enough to have a smidge of confidence in my abilities so I am able to have a good time, despite my performance. Drumming is so mystical for me because in a sense, the harder I try, the worse I do, but when I allow myself to feel the music and get lost in the rhythm, I can hold a beat like no other. Drumming hits that sweet spot of balancing both the logical brain and the creative brain for great musical harmony. I could go on and on about how much I love drumming but if you're ever in San Diego please hit me up and I'll invite you to a drum circle out here! I'd love to introduce you to the amazing community out here! Drumming in the Community Drum circles have proven to be popular amongst people, especially beginners, who want to experience the interaction of playing alongside others and also the power of group drumming for ultimate relaxation and partnership. Apart from the feeling of togetherness and the energy they provide, drum circles can create a deep sense of unity that often goes beyond the music itself. Drumming is undoubtedly one of the most powerful forms of sound therapy with its roots deeply embedded in our cultural history. The health, emotional, and spiritual benefits it produces are not limited to any culture or location. Anyone can take it on and experience its many benefits. The transformative effects on the body and mind have been researched, and drumming has created a unique space in the world of wellness. So, the next time you need to check your stress levels or find an outlet for your emotions, remember the power of drumming and the healing effects it produces.

This post we're going to go over the first part of the Major Arcanas: What are the Arcana's in Tarot? The Arcanas are divided into two distinct groups: The first 11 are known as the "Major Arcana" and the remaining 11 are referred to as "Minor Arcana." The cards in the Major Arcana are known as the most important and powerful cards in the deck. They represent major life changes, decisions, and events, and carry a stronger energy than the Minor Arcana. The cards in this group are often seen as archetypes or universal themes. What are the Major Arcana in Tarot? The Fool and the Magician The first card in this series is The Fool, which represents new beginnings, change, and taking risks. The Fool is often associated with positive energy and an adventurous spirit, as it can signal a journey or new endeavor.

This card often indicates that the querent has the ability to manifest their desires and should take action towards their goals. The High Priestess and the Empress The High Priestess is the third card in the Major Arcana and represents intuition, spirituality, and mystery.

This card often indicates that the querent may experience a major shift or turning point in their life. The next card in the Major Arcana is The World, which symbolizes completion, fulfillment, and harmony. This card often indicates that the querent has reached a significant milestone or achieved a major goal. Justice The final card in the Major Arcana is Justice. It represents your firm-but-fair reminder that there is a consequence for every action. Whatever life is handing you at this moment comes from decisions you and others have made in the past, reflecting natural cause-and-effect.

Here's a couple quick tips I've learned over the years to enhance my divination: Do a Three Card Tarot Spread every day to connect with your deck and begin to understand the artwork and what they mean. Buy a nice tarot deck bag that will not only protect your cards physically, but it is also important to keep the energies of your deck safe. Velvet, deep purple ones are my favorite, but I've seen tons of beautiful bags over the years! Cleanse your deck before you use it! You never know who has been touching it with their grubby little energies before you bought it, so give it a good cleansing. Use crystals to protect your deck as well too! I leave a gorgeous clear quarts crystal on my deck when I'm not using her. What have you learned about the Major Arcana that completely blew your mind? Tell us below!

Understanding the Law of Attraction for Witchcraft What is the Law of Attraction? Witchcraft has been a practice for centuries, traversing time and culture. It is a spiritual path that involves the use of magick, spells, and rituals to harness the power of nature and the divine. A moon sister of mine defines magick "The use of manifestation and will to altar the world around us with conscious thought and intent." Two hundred years ago, most modern medicines and practices were considered "Magick", and now we call it "science". There will be a time in our world where we call "Manifestation", "Law of attraction", and "Karma" as science too! I'll bet you a whole shiny penny that it will. One of the core principles of witchcraft is the belief that energy can be transformed and influenced through intention, focus, and willpower. In essence, the practice of witchcraft is an expression of the law of attraction, which states that we attract what we focus on. In this blog post, we’ll explore how the Law of Attraction can help enhance your witchcraft practice and manifest your desires. Remember, this is one witches view on Law of Attraction. Many paths do not entirely follow the belief of "Karma", "Law of Attraction", etc, and that's okay! As always, this is just one witches point of view. Understand the Power of Thoughts At the heart of the Law of Attraction is the understanding that thoughts are powerful, and can influence our reality. The more we focus on something, the more we attract it into our lives. Witchcraft is all about directing your thoughts and emotions towards a desired outcome. By embracing the Law of Attraction, you can learn to manifest your intentions more effectively. You can start by keeping a positive mindset and focusing on the things you want, rather than the things you don’t want. The more thought you give something, the better chance of it showing up in your life, so the same applies to things you don't want. Be Specific with Your Intentions The Law of Attraction works best when you’re clear about what you want. As a witch, you know that spells and rituals are most effective when you have a clear intention behind them. Similarly, when you are working with the Law of Attraction, it’s essential to be specific about what you want to manifest. Take the time to meditate on your desires and visualize them coming true. Draw them out, find something that represents them and keep it close, write it down on your mirror where you get ready every day. Keep it clear and keep it consistent. This will help you to create a clear and specific intention that will attract the right energy towards you. Use Symbols and Rituals to Amplify Your Intentions Witches have been using symbols and rituals for centuries to enhance their spells and rituals. Similarly, the Law of Attraction also benefits from using symbols and rituals to amplify your intentions. You can create a sigil or symbol that represents your intention and wear it as a talisman, or burn candles and incense for manifestation(Palo Santo is my fav! And you can get it in cute incense stick) during meditation to help focus your energy. These small acts can help you to focus your intention and manifest your desires more easily. BONUS: Check out my blog post about Three Spells to for Witches for a great candle manifestation spell! xoxo Stay Open to Receiving As you work with the Law of Attraction and witchcraft, it’s important to stay open to receiving!!! This means letting go of any negative beliefs or emotions that may be blocking your energy. Witches know that magick comes from within, and by staying open to receiving, you allow the universe to work its magick through you. Trust the process and know that the universe will bring you what you need when you need it. Practice Gratitude Daily Gratitude is a powerful force that can increase your positive energy and enhance your ability to manifest your desires. As a witch, you understand the importance of being in tune with nature and your surroundings. Similarly, practicing gratitude daily can help you to connect with your inner self and the universe. Take time each day to express gratitude for the blessings in your life, and you will begin to attract more abundance and prosperity. The practice of witchcraft and the Law of Attraction share a common thread - both are rooted in the belief that we can manifest our desires by harnessing the power of energy and intention. By combining these two practices, you can enhance your ability to manifest your desires and live the life you’ve always dreamed of! Remember to stay open to receiving, be specific with your intentions, and stay grateful for the blessings in your life. With these simple practices, you’ll be able to tap into the power of the universe and create the life you want. Happy manifesting! How to you practice the Law of Attraction or Manifestation?

How Yoga Witches Stay Grounded with No Ego We're here today to talk about a few of my favorite things; Yoga, Witchcraft, aaannndddd..... EGO!! Let's dive right into this. Yoga and witchcraft have always gone hand in hand. Both practices rely on energy, intention, and grounding. Yoga helps to center yourself and connect with your body, while witchcraft allows you to tap into your natural powers. When combined, these two powerful practices create an amazing symbiotic relationship that can benefit your spiritual growth, as well as your every day life. In this blog post, we will explore how to stay grounded and keep your ego in check while practicing yoga witchcraft. The Importance of Grounding Yoga Witchcraft operates on the understanding that everything is energy and we are all interconnected. Therefore, a crucial part of your practice is grounding yourself to the earth. Mother Earth has been here long before humans, and will be here long after we are. She withstands astroids, quakes, fires, basically everything thrown at her. She is not just an immovable object, she is the immovable object. If you feel like you are being swayed in too many directions, ground with the earth a bit and see if you can't be inspired by the energy. You can accomplish this by practicing yoga postures that connect you to the earth, such as standing poses, forward folds, and Warrior poses. Additionally, spending time in nature, doing root chakra meditations, and using grounding crystals can all assist in this process. Letting Go of Ego Ahhhh yes... The Ego. One of the biggest dangers in any spiritual practice is the ego. The ego can distort our intentions and sway us towards negative practices, such as the pursuit of power, attention, or validation. In order to avoid ego-driven behavior in your yoga witchcraft practice, you must be vigilant about checking in with yourself and your intentions. "Why am I feeling this way?" "What triggers are happening to make me think like this?" Questions that make you really think about how you are truly feeling. Focus on the bigger picture and how your practice can benefit the greater good instead of solely benefiting yourself. Affirmations, journaling, and ritual baths can help you stay centered and humble, and if you really need a good spiritual kick in the ass, get yourself a black mirror and speak directly to your ego on a dark moons night. Embracing Your Intuition Another benefit of combining yoga and witchcraft is heightened intuition. We sometimes refer it to our "Witchy Intuition" or that "gut feeling" that has driven you most of your life. Both practices are designed to help you tap into your subconscious mind and the universal flow of energy. As you practice, you may find that your intuition becomes stronger and your ability to manifest your desires becomes more potent.When you are doubting yourself less, you have more time and energy to focus on Manifestation. Check out my blog post about the Law of Attraction for more info on that! The key is to stay open and receptive to the signs and messages the universe sends you, through meditation, divination tools, or nature. Connecting with Your Inner Goddess Witchcraft traditionally has been associated with the divine feminine, and certainly within the realm of yoga witchcraft, the focus on the divine feminine is amplified. As you practice yoga and witchcraft, seek out ways to connect with your inner goddess and honor her power. Create an altar, work with moon phases and goddess archetypes, or write affirmations that celebrate your divine feminine energy. By embracing and acknowledging your inner goddess, you can cultivate a deeper sense of self-love and empowerment. Using Your Magick for Good Finally, the ultimate goal of yoga witchcraft is to use your magick for the greater good. As you develop your practice, focus on sending out positive intentions and energy to the world around you. Perform spells and rituals that uplift and heal, and use your magic to create positive change in your community and the world. Remember that with great power comes great responsibility, and it's up to you to use your magick ethically and in service of the highest good. Incorporating yoga into your witchcraft practice is a powerful way to deepen your spiritual connection and promote overall well-being. Staying grounded and connecting with your intuition, inner goddess, and the divine energy around you can be life-changing. Always remember to approach your practice with humility and respect, and use your magic to create positive change in the world. By focusing on these core principles, you can build a strong foundation of spiritual growth that will serve you well throughout your life. What are your best tips and tricks to staying grounded?
