Tried To Infuse A Jar Of Honey With Blueberries.

Baby witch here

Can someone explain how you burn an herb? If something calls for mugwort, how do I burn it? Do I need it to be in oil form?

Cardinal Signs - Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn - The angular signs are absolutely determined to get what they want. They are the Queens of the four seasons, and now is the time to receive what they have earned the right to. But this is not entitlement. It has taken tremendous work -both privately and externally to be where they are now. And nobody is going to come along and take any of that away  

~~ Aries by virtue of starting with no memory and nothing but a name, and overcoming the odds to ensure other people they have a name people won’t ever forget it. The aim is not searching for their place and purpose in the world, the intention is to walk and build a new path at the same time, one without any footprints to follow. ~  Cancer in regards to the inner life and finding a way to manage the emotional typhoons so that other people won’t notice or realise that something is wrong. This takes tremendous and private inner work, and it’s also imperative for Cancer remaining in control of themselves out there in the world of work, friends, business, and pleasure. ~  Libra is the relationship sign, but they know too well that love is fallible, that love can be taken, or fade into nothing. So Libras are also very focused on career success because their professional path is something they can control completely. They work hard to tick all the business boxes- demonstrating their competence, relentless work ethic, willingness to learn, forming close bonds with colleagues, and charming superiors with everything Libra offers in one.    ~ Capricorns never take the easy road. Even if they believe they have done just that, they just return to the start and end up working harder. Capricorns are allowed to fail, but they are not permitted to give anything less than everything. They need to quell their desire for instant gratification, and remember that quantity is not quality. And they also need to learn when enough has been done, there is nothing more to add, analyse, or do, except for rest.

• 🍯 Honey Magick 🍯 •

Honey

Honey is a natural substance created by bees within their hives. The hive consists of primarily female bees, which will leave the hive to collect nectar from flowers and then return to transform this nectar into sugary honey for later consumption.

Humans have been collecting honey since 8000 BC, and it has been utilized by nearly every culture across the globe for food, healing, and spiritual purposes.

Honey is universally considered a talisman of prosperity, beauty, health, and sweetness, and it can be utilized in all of these types of witchcraft.

Prosperity

Honey is a representation of abundance: its primary use in nature is as a stored source of food to be used in times of hardship, both for bees and for humans. It is also created from the nectar of flowers, imbuing it with the energies of the Sun and springtime. As such, it can be added to spells for wealth, abundance, fertility, or prosperity in order to amplify the effects and create surplus in your life.

Beauty

Sympathetic Magick states that an object’s physical qualities are reminiscent of its spiritual properties. Honey is golden, pleasing to the eye, and sweet. On its own or added to face masks, it can cleanse, nourish, and moisturize the skin. It can also be added to beauty or glamour spells in order to add a sweet glow to your energy.

Healing

Honey has been used to treat wounds since the time of the Ancient Egyptians. Its viscosity and moisture creates a moist seal around a wound. It also contains natural antibacterial properties, providing a stable and sterile environment for wounds to heal in. Metaphysically, honey can be added to protection spells or wards in order to create an environment of positivity and sterility, and can also be added to healing spells in order to strengthen the recovery process.

Sweetness

Honey is appealing to humans and animals because, above all else, it is sweet. One of honey’s most ancient uses - utilized in magical practices ranging from Egyptian to Greek to Voudoo - is to add ‘sweetness’ to a spell.

It can be added to glamour magick to make the illusion more easily accepted. It can be added to curses in order to make the energy seem harmless when entering the target’s life. It can be added to money spells or job spells in order to ‘sweeten the deal’. It can be added to love or sex spells in order to sweeten a relationship or conjure an appealing partner. In general, it can be added to any spell to make the effects more pleasant and inviting.

Offering

Honey’s final use is especially helpful to witches who work with nature spirits, fairies, the Dead, or deities. Honey contains a very pleasing, warm, Sun-type energy, and therefore it is extremely enticing to spirits. Since the time of the Ancient Egyptians, honey has been used as an offering that symbolizes the utmost love, care, and respect.

Honey can be drizzled onto a candle and burned. It can be drizzled into a body of water or directly onto the earth. Most commonly, it can be drizzled into an offering bowl (or on top of an offering meal) and left outside, in a graveyard, or on an altar. Because it is excellent at preserving itself, offerings of honey can be left somewhere for prolonged periods of time without worry of it spoiling, which is extremely helpful to forgetful witches (like me) or witches with long-term altars.

So, all in all, honey is maybe one of the most underrated magical ingredients, and I hope this post got some of you hip to honey magick.
