The Witch’s Ball
The Witch’s Ball
A witch ball is a very interesting item. Powerful and simple to make.
It requires a glass jar, I use a jar about the size of a baby food jar, with the lid….
You fill it halfway with sharp items. Broken glass, needles etc.
You then fill it with a liquid. Some use oils some vinegar others use their own urine. That seems to be a personal choice.
You then bury it in your yard. It “cut’s” any “evil” or bad, negative things “pointed” at your home. They are good for a year and then it is time to replace them.
I have also heard of witch balls being made with glass and then filled with string or yarn. You place them in a window and they “tangle” negative or evil as it comes to your home. For myself, I place mirrored balls in my windows to reflect out any bad energy from the outside. I make a point to sand off the tops of the jars and to remove any labels.
No Bake Peanut Butter Cookies (I know this is unusual but…)
I have been aiming to share this recipe with you. These cookies, I absolutely crave. I mean it, right now, I am craving them. That is why I am posting the recipe to make me drool, lol! No, seriously, they are delicious and super fast to make. I hope you give the recipe a try. They are great cookies!
No Bake Peanut Butter Cookies
2 cups sugar
1 stick butter
1/2 cup milk
3 cups quick (instant, if you can find them) oats
3/4 cup peanut butter
In a medium sauce pan, mix the sugar, butter & milk. Heat to boiling. Let boil for 1 1/2 minutes. Remove from the heat. Mix in oats & peanut butter. Make sure the oats & peanut butter is thoroughly mixed in. When thoroughly mixed, put on waxed paper. The cookies will harden when cooled.
Takes about 10 minutes to make. And they are super YUMMY!
Four Thieves Vinegar
Four Thieves Vinegar
2 quarts of vinegar
2 tablespoons each:
- lavender
- rosemary
- sage
- rue
- mint
- wormwood
- garlic
Soak and shake all of the herbs for two weeks and strain.
Legend has it that during the bubonic plague four thieves were caught stealing from houses where everyone had died from the plague. When the judge asked them how they were able to do this without contracting the plague, they claimed they drank and washed with this vinegar every few hours. In return for the recipe, the thieves got their freedom.
Take some 4 Thieves Vinegar and put it in a small bottle. Write the name of the person you want out of your life on a piece of paper and put it in the bottle with the vinegar. Seal the bottle tight and then throw the bottle into “moving” water (river or??) where it will be carried away from you.
As you throw it in the water, visualize the person moving out of your life and far away from you.
FREEZER BINDING SPELL
FREEZER BINDING SPELL
Piece of paper and a pen Black thread or string Small water tight container
It’s best done just after the Full Moon, or at least while the moon is waning, and needs to
be renewed every month or when the person starts bothering you again.
Write the name of the person you wish to prevent from harming you on a piece of paper.
Gaze at the paper and visualize the face of the person in question; see their face vividly
imprinted on the paper. Then, fold the paper three times. Tie it up with black thread or
string, and put into a small watertight container (baby food jars are ideal). Fill the container
with water, and place in a nook of the freezer where it’s unlikely to be disturbed, saying:
Stay there and freeze as long as I please.

LEMON UNCROSSING SPELL
LEMON UNCROSSING SPELL
To get rid of negative energy.
At the alter: A cup of salt, A fresh lemon, Athame
Light white candles and protection incense. Anoint brow, heart and throat with oil.
Put the lemon in the center of your alter and cut it into 4 slices (round).
Chant:
“All spells against me congregate in this lemon, that’s your fate.
Sour spell to sour fruit, you must go there cause it’s your suit.
Bound to this lemon evermore. Each spell against me that’s your store.
All in this lemon, now I see, and as my will so mote it be!”
When you feel that the chant has captured the negative thought forms in the lemon,
begin to sprinkle the salt on the lemon. Chant:
“Uncrossed! Uncrossed!
This salt for me breaks up the attacking energy.
As lemon dries in salt and air,
I’m freed from harm and all despair.
Uncrossed and happy now, you see!
And as my will so mote it be!!!”
Use lots of salt and when you are finished, thank all the elements.
Leave the lemon near your alter where you can watch it.
If it dries out, your work is done. If it should mildew, repeat the ritual.

Happy, Wonderful, Fantastic and Blessed Monday to you, dear friends!
It’s my birthday, huh ha! It’s my birthday, huh ha! Did ya’ hear it’s my birthday, huh ha! I can hear the roar of the crowd now. Thank you! Thank you for that rousing round of applause! I am so full of it today, I can smell myself, lmao! I have been up since about 2:30 this morning. I guess I was excited to open all those birthday presents. Then have cake and ice cream, yeah right! What cloud am I on? I don’t know why I just haven’t been sleeping good recently. I think it has to do with that damn motion detector hubby fixed right outside the bedroom window. I start drifting off to sleep and I can sense the damn thing turn on. Sure enough, I wake up and it is on. Hubby decided to put the bulbs back in the thing. I hate to tell him, I was the one that knocked them out with the baseball bat. Don’t think I am terrible or anything but after a while you have to do something? Anything, you need your sleep!
With a toothpick holding up my eyelids, I am off to do the dailys!
Have a great one, dears!

Calendar of the Moon for Sunday, March 2
Calendar of the Moon
13 Nion/Anthesterion
Anthesteria Day 3: Khutroi
Color: Purple
Element: Earth
Altar: Upon a purple cloth set a great jug of water, the ship of Dionysos, a wreath of grapevines, nine purple candles, and a cauldron in which are many beans.
Offerings: Food. Feed people in the community.
Daily Meal: Beans and lentils and rice. Grains cooked with honey. Only water to drink today. A great meal should be prepared, and many people from outside the community should be invited, especially those who are in need. If there is not room, the meal may be cooked and taken to the appropriate shelter or soup kitchen.
Khutroi Invocation
After the joy of the vine,
We come to water and work.
Water of the flood, which washed away
Our ancestors, may you give us
Only aid, and may we not see
Your terrible aspect, drowning the millions.
Work of the world, the greatest of which
Is the giving of sustenance to those who have none.
As we come to a better understanding
Of what it is to be past childhood,
After the day of joy and mirth
We come to the threshold
Of work and toil for the good of others.
For this is truly the mark
That we have passed youth and innocence:
When we realize the Fate does not
Take care of everyone, including we ourselves,
And that we must stand in for Fate
And alter the order of the world,
Giving of ourselves that others may survive,
And thus become Fate.
On this the Day of Pots
We open our cooking fires
To the rest of the world.
(All depart and proceed to the kitchen, where the meal is prepared in silence, with all meditating upon the effort that it will take to feed all that they can, and what that means to one’s understanding of oneself as a mature being connected to the web of life.)
