Dream Work or Dream Magick can refer to a number of different things from the perspective of witchcraft and the occult practitioner. This can include but is not limited to: 

Lucid Dreaming - Also known as Oneironautics. The act of becoming aware that you are in a dream. Often the lucid dreamer is able to interact with or even control their dream from inside of it to cultivate a desired experience.

Dream Interpretation - Analyzing dreams to derive meaning from symbolism and interaction that occurs while dreaming.

Dream Divination/ Prophetic Dreams - Also known as Oneiromancy. Often paired with interpretation, the act of gaining premature or previously unknown insight on a situation through dreams. 

Dream Spirit Communication - Sending or receiving direct communication from or to spirits in a dreamscape. This can include meeting entities, spirits, gods, etc for the first time, hearing their voice, receiving a sign or confirmation, or even meeting with them face to face. 

Dream Shadow Work- Exploring the subconscious and fears through nightmares 

and Dream Spellcasting - utilizing dreams to fuel or fulfill a spell. Included in this is intentionally using lucid dreaming to astral travel or cast a particular spell in the dream world.

DIY All Purpose Cleaner Recipe

I’ve been using this recipe for a while now and there’s no use in having a recipe unless you plan on sharing. I use this recipe to clean any surface in our apartment that isn’t glass. 

-SUPPLIES-

-Bottle w/ Spray Top: I use a glass bottle that I bought from Amazon, but if you already have a bottle with a spray top, you can use that. 

-Borax or Baking Soda:  I use baking soda and I know more people have baking soda at home than Borax. **NOTE: Borax has been noted as unsafe to keep around animals and children so you have to make that decision for your household, but I’m letting you know this is good conscience**

-White vinegar:  That’s what’s in the glass apple juice bottle in the picture. We buy in bulk so I set some aside for immediate use and store the rest. 

-Castile Soap: I received this bottle as a gift, but this usually runs anywhere from $12-20 dollars depending on where you buy it. You use a small amount in this recipe so one bottle is going to last you for probably forever. 

-OPTIONAL SUPPLIES-

-Eucalyptus Oil: I keep eucalyptus oil around to help congestion/sinus infections, as a natural sunscreen, and as a surface germ killer in my bathroom and kitchen. 

-Tea Tree Oil: I keep tea tree oil on hand to soothe sunburns, in my skin routine, and a bunch of other things for around our apartment. It kills mold and is included in a lot of different DIY cleaning solution recipes. 

-RECIPE & INSTRUCTIONS-

1 teaspoon liquid Castile soap

1 teaspoon baking soda (or borax)

2 tablespoon white vinegar

2 cups hot water

OPTIONAL:

½ teaspoon eucalyptus oil

½ teaspoon tea tree oil

Mix all ingredients together in a spray bottle. This solution is good for any surface but glass. Just spray, scrub, and wipe off.

Friendly tip for the poor witch: craft stores (I got a pack these for $3 at Jo-Ann Fabrics) carry little glass vials. They are travel size and perfect for herbs and altars. I have cloves, salt, mint and cinnamon in mine. They are cheap, cute and durable! Craft stores are a witch’s best friend

🌹How To Use Roses in Witchcraft🌹

⭐Add roses to Banishing Spells to overcome a bad habit

⭐Use rose petals in your bath for attraction rituals

⭐Make rose water

⭐Use the thorns from roses in Protection Spells or to deflect negative energies

⭐Can be used in any Beauty Spells

⭐Stuff rose petals into poppets/dolls for love, romance, and attraction.

⭐Rose colors mean different things. Use them for specific energies:

White- New Begins, Purity

Pink- Sweetness, Sincerity

Yellow- Friendship, Cheerfulness

Purple- Love at first Sight, Royalty

Black- Major Changes, Mystery

Red- Love, Passion

⭐Enchant a rose or a bouquet of roses before giving them to someone

⭐Use wilted roses for opposite effect (wilted purple rose being disinterest at first sight.) Not to be confused with dried roses. Roses left to naturally decay on a rose bush as much as possible.

⭐Sprinkle red rose buds on a candle to help bring in loving energy. Yellow rose buds to bring in friendships, etc.

⭐Use roses in tea to bring love, healing, and protection into your being.

Series of Unfortunate Events curse

-Make a witches ladder and tie it to your target however you’d like (hair, name, etc)

-Tie in items that relate to unlucky things 

used up travel toothpaste-> they never seem to have toothpaste when they need it

a key with a ‘?’ drawn in sharpie-> you’re gonna be late to work, douche

empty battery-> they’re always just too tired to really get any work done

loose pieces of yarn-> so they always have that one strand of hair tickling their arm

a pushpin-> step on something sharp, asshole

a ripped piece of paper with the words “REALLY IMPORTANT THING”->so they always forget that one really important thing

an empty toilet roll-> every. single. time.

broken birthday candle->nobody remembers their birthday

Charge that sucker with your annoyed motherfucking energy and swirl some fucking smoke on it with a few spritzes of cayenne water for good measure. 

Now stuff it in an old sock and forget about it. Or hang it up. You do you.

duality/gender: passive/feminine

elements: air, water

planets: moon, mercury, venus

day of the week: wednesday

astrology signs: pisces, cancer

WARNING: Eucalyptus can not be consumed. Taking 3.5 mL of undiluted oil can be fatal. Even applying too much to the skin and absorbing large amounts is dangerous. (Use it very lightly, dilute it, or use a humidifier.) Signs of eucalyptus poisoning might include stomach pain and burning, dizziness, muscle weakness, small eye pupils, feelings of suffocation, and some others. Eucalyptus changes how many medicines break down in the liver. Eucalyptus should not be applied to the face, especially the nose, of infants and young children. Avoid using it in infants.

Eucalyptus will: Help with all forms of healing, protect your home, enhance your financial success

The plant: Eucalyptus is native to Australia, Africa, India, and southern Europe. It is a very fast-growing tree with leathery leaves that contain an aromatic oil. When the flowers bud, they’re covered with a cup-like membrane, which drops off when the flowers open. The fruit are also cup-shaped and contain numerous tiny seeds.

Magical properties: The dried flowers make a powerful stuffing for poppets to be used for healing, emotional, spiritual, and physical ailments. Sprinkle the oil around the inside of your home to raise the spiritual vibration and dispel any residual negative energy. If you’re feeling financially strapped, rub the oil on your money to ensure abundance. To ward off illness, hand the dries leaves over your front door. If you sleep with the leaves under your pillow, they will induce sweet dreams and prevent colds.

Medicinal uses: Eucalyptus oil is one of the most powerful antiseptics. It’s also believed to increase cardiac strength. When the oil is added to boiling water, the steam helps break up a chest cold.

magickal properties of moss: luck, money, protection & safety ♡

When putting together any kind of job spell, I always include items/herbs for four intents:

Wealth - actual physical currency I can use to pay bills and buy food.

Prosperity - long term ‘doing well for myself’ beyond just ‘having money for food and bills’, but really having at least the potential to Go Places

Luck - because heck knows I need luck in job interviews and to get people to look at my resume and application

Happiness - oh god, I didn’t include this in the first job spells I did, and LEMME TELL YOU, I wound up with a job that paid decently and had lots of potential for promotion, and I ABSOLUTELY COULD NOT STAND my boss or my coworkers, the work itself was awful, and I cannot describe the absolute dread that filled me before going in to every shift.

[Protip: Aventurine has all four of these properties]
