REAL small silver charm/jewelry

2 candles

2 small mirrors

1 cup of water

Step 6: Pour the water from the circle, and then watch it flow into the rays. Pour until they are full, but do not overflow.

Step 7: Take the charm or jewelry and put it in the center of the ring, which should be filled with water.

Step 8: Place the mirrors next to the candles, so they are closer to the bowl/plate compared to candles. They ought to reflect the image of the jewelry or charm.

Step 9: Say:

Myself is yet failing me
Make it not so, ________ (say your spirit animal)
Show me the right path
Light the way to a better self

Step 10: After saying that, blow out the candles one by one from right to left. The mirror on the right is yourself, and the one on the left is the animal.

Step 11: Ask the question or simply talk in the mirror on the left to communicate with the creature. If it responds, it is going to show you from the ideal mirror. Do not be pushy. Or else.

Greetings, fellow witches! Today, we will delve into the enchanting world of herbal magic. As healers, we understand that the power of the natural world can aid us in our work. Herbs have been used for centuries for their healing properties and have been an essential part of the witch’s toolkit.

Herbal magic allows us to connect with the energy and wisdom of the plant kingdom, harnessing their healing properties to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing. The use of herbs in spells and rituals can amplify their power and bring about profound transformations.

As witches, we understand that every plant possesses its own unique energy and properties. By understanding these properties, we can use herbs to target specific areas of our lives and work towards our goals. Whether you seek to boost your energy, promote clarity, or attract abundance, there is an herb out there that can aid you in your journey.

In this article, we will explore the correspondences, planetary and elemental energies, and spirit of the plants. We will also discuss safety considerations to keep in mind when working with herbs. So, gather your cauldron, light some candles, and let’s delve into the magical world of herbal healing.

The History of Herbal Magic

The use of herbs for magical and healing purposes has a long and rich history. Many ancient civilizations, including the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans, utilized the power of plants in their spiritual practices. Herbal magic has been documented in various texts throughout history, including the famous herbal manuscripts from ancient China, Egypt, and Greece.

In medieval Europe, herbalism was considered both a science and an art, and herbalists were highly respected members of society. They were often consulted by royalty and the wealthy for their healing knowledge, and their expertise in using plants for magical purposes was widely recognized. During the Renaissance, interest in herbal magic continued to grow, and many new books on the subject were written and published.

In the New World, indigenous cultures also had a deep connection with the plant world and utilized herbs in their spiritual practices. For example, Native American shamans used various herbs in their healing ceremonies and spiritual rituals, such as sweetgrass for purification and sage for protection. African traditions also had a rich history of using plants in their spiritual practices, such as the use of palo santo and frankincense for purification and protection. Today, herbal magic continues to thrive, and many modern witches and healers use herbs in their spells, rituals, and healing practices.

Moon Alert

After 2:30 AM EST today, there are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions. The Moon is in Gemini.

The Stars Rate Your Day

5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

Aries (March 21-April 19)

*** Double check financial issues, especially related to the wealth of others as well as your own finances. For example, check details related to mortgages, banking, inheritances and shared property because something unexpected might throw you for a loop. (Yikes!)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

** Relations with spouses, partners and close friends are unpredictable today. That’s because you (or someone else) might spontaneously say or do something out of the blue. You might rebel against agreed-upon arrangements. You might also attract someone very unusual into your world. (Not a boring day.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

*** You have strong emotions today because the Moon is in your sign. Do be aware that issues related to your job, your health and your pet are up for grabs and completely unpredictable. Pet owners should be extra vigilant to avoid accidents. You might want to quit your job. Who knows?

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

*** Parents should be extra vigilant because today this is an accident-prone day for your kids. Meanwhile, romance might be on the rocks. Expect surprises and sudden interruptions. Likewise, social plans might suddenly change. Be aware this is the classic time for sports accidents, as well. It’s a crapshoot!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

** Today is full of unexpected arguments, sudden changes and delays. Your home routine might be interrupted. Issues with parents and bosses might take things in a new direction. Small appliances might break down or a minor breakage could occur. Stock the fridge so that you’re ready for anything.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

*** Pay attention to everything you say and do because this is an accident-prone day! Your daily plans might change. Siblings, neighbours and relatives might surprise you. Unexpected news might catch you off guard. New faces, new places and new ideas could excite you. Be alert.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

*** Keep an eye on your money and finances because it’s a crapshoot today. For example, you might find money; you might lose money. Be smart and protect what you own against loss, theft or damage. Be leery of investments. If shopping, keep your receipts – and the box.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

** Today the Sun in your sign opposes unpredictable Uranus, which will create surprises in your one-to-one encounters. An argument might erupt. People might do or say things that are radically different and unexpected. Someone might demand more freedom in the relationship? Guard against accidents.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

*** Today you feel restless as if you’re waiting for the other shoe to drop. No doubt you will voice your feelings to someone; and some might even seek out shopping therapy because you’re interested in buying pretty things for yourself and others. Travel will appeal. Take things slowly today. Baby steps.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

*** The energy today is unpredictable and impulsive, which is why you might be surprised by the words or actions of a friend or a member of a group. You might suddenly want to break free of this association. “These are not my people.” Think twice before you act.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

** Do not ask parents, bosses and authority figures for permission or approval today because their response will likely be, “Talk to the hand!” Relations with people in power are unpredictable. In turn, this could make you feel rebellious. (Don’t do anything you will later regret.)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

*** This is an accident-prone day for you so pay attention to everything you say and do. Go slowly and gently and be mindful. Steer clear of touchy subjects like politics and religion because they could be explosive. Instead, focus on warm friendships. Stay chill.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Hannah Waddington (1974) shares your birthday today. You are wise, perceptive and strong-willed. You are also sensuous, sensitive and highly intuitive. Above all, you are individualistic. This is a powerful year for you because you will get recognition. Expect a promotion, a raise, kudos, awards – some kind of acknowledgement for your efforts. Bravo!

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This Saturday you will have this tendency to start a lot of things at the same time and to be all enthusiastic about people and ideas without really discriminating from what is plausible and what is not.

Someone close to you, most likely a friend will want to wake you up but you will most likely interpret their actions in a completely off way. Once you realize it, do apologize.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Things tend to go the exact opposite from what you expect but to be honest, I think it is more a matter of perception from your side rather than a real problem.

You prefer to cling to small details in order to have some plausible reasons to complain because apparently, there are other things on your mind, that you don’t want to talk about but you need something else to let all the anguish out through.

You can also read this special Taurus Daily Horoscope.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You seem to be keeping yourself under strict control this Saturday, whether you do it on purpose or not. There are enough criticism and enough things you would do differently than how you see them done but it seems that at the moment you tend to keep your advice to yourself.

If you are waiting to be asked what you would do in a particular situation, then rest assured you will be waiting for a while as people around you don’t seem very advice prone at the moment.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You will have the tendency to take a small detail and transform it into something huge this day, of course, everything under the watchful eye of your partner, who might or not see where you are in mistake.

But you will love playing a drama queen today and you won’t be stopped. While this does spell a recipe for disaster, it might also stimulate your creativity and help you relax.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Some sort of professional change won’t make this Saturday easy, either that you have to go in the office or that you plan on working from home.

It is a moment of transition and you need to remember that most likely you aren’t the only one going through this. On the other hand, the more you plan your activities, the more free time you will end up having.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This is a great day for research endeavors and although you might be tempted to search the answer to you problems socially, it actually hides beneath certain small but essential pieces of information that you need to uncover.

Some newly found harmony might also make you feel a lot better about your family dynamic this Saturday.

You can also read this special Virgo Daily Horoscope.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This Saturday will challenge your patience and understanding with more than a few things that are not going to go the way you want them to.

And this is when the big question arises! How will you react? Will you pretend like nothing is wrong and just go on and about with your original plan, are you going to dramatize and complain to whomever is listening or are you going to act all grown up about it and adapt to whatever novelty arises?

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

It seems that someone might be pressuring you towards making a particular decision and it will take you a while first to figure that this is actually happening and then to devise and exit plan.

Some natives might end up in such a hopeless state, maybe upon being disappointed by whomever is trying to manipulate them that they are even considering succumbing to the pressure and letting things go at their own pace.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

t seems that the stars have prepared something special this Saturday for the coupled natives, maybe a try out for them to rekindle whatever passion they have lost or to make out for the busy time they might have had in the past weeks.

It isn’t like any super plans are going to come down from the sky on you, but let’s just say you will be benefited in your romantic endeavors even with the smallest of gestures.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Until today, this week might have seemed a bit inconspicuous but it seems that starting this Saturday things are finally getting noticed.

This might apply to your personal activities but also to some dreamy plans you might have been making lately. Who knows what chances await you? You might feel a bit baffled and lacking energy but this won’t last long once you start discovering what’s in store.

You can also read this special Capricorn Daily Horoscope.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

A social day awaits you and in case this is not valid for your whole Saturday, be sure that at least the afternoon will be somewhat along these lines.

Some of the most benefited natives are those who can’t wait to escape a family routine, maybe small children and who will be the first to embrace whatever plan includes them spending a few hours outside of home surrounded by people of similar age and interests.

You can also read this special Aquarius Daily Horoscope.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

While the stars would like to keep you under cover in case of any unpleasant events, it seems that overall this Saturday won’t let you really relax.

For some natives this might also mean that they will either have to go to work or deal with some pressuring work tasks in their own free time. Not a smooth way either for those who are planning to drive long distance so be careful about that too if this is your case.

HERBALISM AND FOLK REMEDIES: A BEGINNERS LOOK INTO TRADITIONAL HEALING

In an era dominated by advanced pharmaceuticals and medical technologies, the humble origins and principles of herbalism and folk remedies often seem overshadowed. Yet, there is a growing interest in these traditional methods of healing – a thirst for returning back to the wild and seeping in all the knowledge of natural medicines and foods we can find in the world around us. This interest is not just a nostalgic return to the practices of our ancestors, but a rational and evidence-based reconsideration of what effective medicine can look like in a modern context.

The reliance on synthetic drugs, heralded for their targeted action and potency, has somewhat obscured the value found in the natural compounds that have been the bedrock of medicinal practices for millennia. Despite this pharmaceutical shift, many folk remedies have remained in our homes – from lemon and ginger teas for sore throats and colds, to baking soda paste on nettle stings to stop the itchiness, what the world naturally gives us works – and so we come back to it.

There are benefits in herbal medicines, even if it is not quite understood which components are doing the helping, as this study suggests. These findings give credibility to traditional remedies and expand our knowledge on healing with accessible and effective resources that align with the principles of sustainability. It is always good to keep in mind that traditional medicine is in direct competition with the business of big pharma, so it’s no surprise there is a lack of official research being poured into the subject.
This exploration of natural remedies has identified active ingredients in common foods and herbs that support the treatment of various conditions— such as garlic’s antimicrobial properties, the anti-inflammatory effects of turmeric, and the treatment of depression using St Johns Wort (though, for clarification, this particular study claims to have “inconclusive” results, despite finding St Johns Wort more effective than the standard treatments).
Nonetheless, these findings validate traditional medicine, as well as illuminate a path forward where health care can be more sustainable, grounded, and in tune with the natural world. Integrating folk remedies into contemporary healthcare practices is not about rejecting modern medicine’s achievements but about broadening our approach to healing.
