Grounding With Other Elements

Water:

Sit in a body of water, a natural one or a bath. Feel where the water touches your skin. Find the line at the surface, where it touches you. Go around your whole body. Feel weightless.

Drink a glass of water, slowly and steadily. Feel it travel down your throat and into the rest of your body. Finish the glass.

Listen to the rain, the waves, the babbling brook. Feel the sound. Let it vibrate through you until your vibrations match.

Air:

Feel the wind on your face. Let the spread-out pieces of you be picked up by the wind, and pushed back to you. Let the wind carry the unnecessary stresses away. 

Deep breath in. Deep breath out. Repeat.

Take a word, sound, or phrase. Repeat it or sing it, find that pitch and speed that feels right.

Fire:

Feel the heat from a fire, let it warm your bones.

You are a candle flame. Sit or stand tall. Let the excess energy burn up and out the top of your head like smoke. Flicker as needed.

Turn off the lights, light a candle. Watch its light flicker on the walls. Melt into the room.

In search of topic ideas!

What sort of things do you guys want to learn about?

Or engagement ideas. I want to hear you guys thoughts.

The scientist who says we CAN see the future in our dreams: Think premonitions are just hokum? A tantalizing book by a top neuroscientist will send shivers down your spine.

So I found this article above and found it to be a very interesting research interview on Precognitive Dreams.

Precognitive dreams are any dreams that give you information about the future you wouldn't otherwise have.

Signs that witchy/pagan article is actually bullshit

There are no sources cited. The article is presenting a new idea, tackling what they believe is a misconception, or just declaring some sort of fact. The burden of proof is on the presenter to back up their claim and provide evidence for it. (If the only viable evidence is personal experience, they should make that clear and describe what about their experience this idea is coming from.)  

It’s all a little too convenient. If the information feels too good to be true, it probably is. If the entities being described seem only to exist for your benefit, the results promised seem wildly disproportionate to the work, or there’s absolutely no way to possibly do it wrong, be wary.

Living cultural practices are cited as a monolith.  Bonus points if it’s in the past tense, as if these groups have mysteriously died out and not still practicing these things and rolling their eyes at the OP. Often it’s used to exotify and possibly appropriate from the group in question. “Native Americans believed that…” and “This is an old Hindu method of…“ are prime examples. It’s a huge tell that the person doesn’t actually know anything much about that group and shouldn’t be trusted on the subject. 

It’s a book published by Llewellyn. Okay so this isn’t a post thing but still, sometimes people will just post book passages. Llewellyn is good in how widespread and accessible they are in the world of witchcraft, pagan, and occult books, but they have seemingly no vetting system for what they choose to publish (like the notorious Silver Ravenwolf.) The average reliability of a book under their title isn’t great, so just take it with a grain of salt while you learn more. 

The OP is very young. Of course age does not equal expertise, but it does come with life experience and more potential for maturity, critical analysis skills, and access to resources and education. Also let’s be real: if I’m going to be taking spiritual or witchy advice from someone, I’m going to trust it a lot more from someone who’s at least old enough to vote.

Anything claiming an ‘original myth.’ There is no such thing as an original myth. The best we can get is the earliest recorded evidence of the myth, but even then myths still have multiple incarnations at once in different regions and evolve over time. I’ve never seen someone use this claim have any sort of backing and wasn’t just making it up or trying to post their favorite version as more legitimate somehow.

Unhappiness & emptiness. Perhaps feeling of not being good enough.

A perception shift. You will suddenly feel that your perspective on things change.

Seeking the answers. With this sudden perspective change you find yourself wanting to know why.

Finding those answers and experiencing breakthroughs.

Disillusionment and a sense of feeling lost once again. You have found your answer and you don't know what's next.

Feeling a need to so deep inner work. Your shadow work is important and it's understandable that some traumas should be left alone. Work at your own pace and remember it's okay not to be ready to dive into some trauma now.

Integration, expansion and joy. You'll find how to correct old habits and make yourself a better person. You'll grown and find a new joy for yourself.

Dos and don'ts of love spells

DO research. It applies to all spells and being a witch as a whole.

DON'T make a love spell to make someone fall in love with you. It isn't ethical. Just put yourself in that person's position. You like them, so why you think about affecting their free will?

DO ask a person if you can do a spell affecting them. There is something off in your relationship and you want to help it with magick? Ask your partner first.

DON'T start from doing love spells. Learn about protection first and always remember about it. Being safe should be your highest priority.

DO make a spell for finding a partner. If you're reading this, you're probably interested in having a relationship. You would find someone sooner or later, so you will just help this process. Just keep in mind the first "don't" - no specific person in mind, just a loving relationship with someone.

DON'T make a spell when you feel bad or tired. It can negatively impact it.

DO make a self-love spell. You want to be in a loving relationship with someone? Be in a loving relationship with yourself first.

+ Something that isn't a love spell as such, but can help you - you can use glamour magick to rise your attractiveness or self-confidence, for example by wearing something red with this intention. Read more about it if you're interested.

Commonsense Fact #1

Rope, Dried herbs/leaves, twine and many other things are flammable.

If you put them on your candle and it all goes up in flames, it’s not an omen. It’s just the dry shit catching on fire. Everything is more likely to have a mundane explanation behind it than a magical one so don't got jumping on the conclusion train. Choo! Choo!
