Common Uses: Cleansing, Connection to the Goddess, Fertility, New Beginnings, Opening of the Third Eye, Protection. Elemental Association: Water Planetary Association: The Moon Hag Stones, also known as Holey Stones, Witch Stones, or Adder Stones, are naturally occurring stones that have a hole or holes in them, typically found near the ocean and other bodies of water. The holes occur due to the elements taking their toll on the surface of the stone, eventually breaking their way through in a specific manner. Known to be powerful protection charms, they are said to protect the owner from anything ranging from negative spirits to hexes to curses to spiritual harm. If hung up next to your bed side or kept under a pillow, it is said that they will aid in preventing nightmares. It is said that if one were to peer through one of a Hag Stone’s holes, it will allow you to see the Fair Folk and other otherworldly beings at will. At your own risk. Rumor also has it that if the stone were to break, it has used its power to protect a life. Who’s life? Good question.
An orange peel with olive oil in it, stem burns like a candle, and remains decompose afterwards (honestly any oil will do if you don't have olive oil specifically but it works best)
A journal, write to your deity in it (you can get a little creative with this one, it can be physical such as a traditional journal or scrapbook or you could make a discord as a way to "talk" to them everyday or something like that)
Write them letters and burn them (or bury them*, or put them in a folder, or rip them up and throw them in the wind* or a river *as long as the material is friendly to nature. This also depends on the nature of the deity)
Poetry! You can speak it out loud or put in in a digital folder, but I personally put in in a decorated envelope on their altar space.
Tea, just make a little extra when you make some for yourself.
Rainwater, moon water, snow water, etc.
Origami, paper also decomposes outside
Sigils, make one for them and draw it on you as often as you'd like
Playlists (or you can sing to them/play music yourself)
Pinterest aesthetic boards
Art in general (this includes theatrical arts)
Talk to the moon at night (specifically for night related dieties) OR lay out in the sun
Keep a plant for them
Depending on the pantheon, you can consume foods as an offering
(This one is little weird for some but if you have reptiles, certain deities do appreciate sheds)
Certain deities will also enjoy helping you in your craft, you can request guidance if you want to use learning as a devotional act itself
Write directly on object or write on piece of paper and place on/in object!
🌑New Moon🌑
A new moon ritual doesn’t have to be fancy or complicated. The candles weren’t even necessary, I just happened to have them.
Get a pen, and two slips of paper.
On one, write down everything you’d like to release.
On the other, everything you’d like to invite (usually the opposite of what you release but it can be something else).
You can burn candles if you like.
When you’re done, dispose of the releasing list.

One of my personal favorite things to make, Rose Salt has a variety of uses. Whether you use it as a scrub in the shower to cleanse yourself and your energies, as a relaxing soak in a warm bath to relax in, or sprinkle it in doorways and on windowsills as a form of protection, it’s multipurpose and very easy to make! What You’ll Need: - Dried Roses - Salt - A Vessel With a Lid to Keep It In - A Mortar & Pestle Optional: - Rose Essential Oil Steps:
Take the petals and buds of your Roses, save the stems and thorns for other spells, and grind them finely with your Mortar & Pestle.
Add Salt.
Mix both well until they are combined well.
Add the mixture into the vessel you chose.
Add the essential oil, seal the vessel, and gently shake to combine everything together more easily.
One of the many properties of Roses is Protection as is with Salt so combining the two gives you a simple, fragrant protective material to keep around your home.
Things you can do on the first of the month - along with or instead of blowing cinnamon through your door
An extremely popular practice right now is to blow cinnamon through your door on the first of the month. It’s popular for good reason, as doing this can bring in prosperity for the new month.
However if you cant partake in this practice due to pets, allergies or any other reason - or simply would like to change/add more to your first of the month ritual, I’d like to offer some ideas!
First let’s talk about the significance of the first of the month and blowing an herb into the home. The first day of a month is a starting point. You can set the tone for how the rest of the month will unfold energetically. One is the number of beginnings and potential! Do not worry if you miss it or simply don’t feel up to it on the first you can of course still do the same practices any day of the month.
The act of blowing the cinnamon into your home is to symbolize that energy flowing into your household. This can be achieved through different means and different herbs all based on preference.
Want to change it up? - Alternative actions:
Cinnamon in your coffee
Put or refresh prosperous herbs & crystals in your wallet
Herbs & crystals in the mail box
Burning bay leaves
Prosperity front door wash (don’t forget the doorknobs!)
Cinnamon sticks in / on the mailbox
Burning a green or yellow candle
A small luck or prosperity ritual/working
Drinking mint tea
Sweeping! (Clear out that old stagnant energy!)
Prosperity herb scented hand / body soap
Make / feed / refresh money bowl
Blowing cinnamon in a house would be activating it using the air element - try a different element (burning, burying or putting in water)
Can’t use cinnamon? - Some other plants for prosperity:
Mint
Allspice
Bay leaves
Black tea
Catnip
Cilantro
Clover
Ginger
Moonwort
Oats
Oregano
Parsley
Peppermint
I hope this takes some pressure off and gives you new ideas!
a lemon
a knife to cut the lemon
salt
a dish on which to pour salt
something to put it on (plate, bowl, etc.)
cleanse all the tools and ingredients however you feel comfortable (i use sound thru music playing and smoke cleansing)
cut the lemon in half - if you're able, envision the lemon being able to access the negativity after being opened and slowly pulling all the stale or negativity in.
pour salt into the dish you have set aside and place your intention on the salt to allow it to keep the negativity in the lemon. Focus on the salt acting as a protective barrier for the lemon so the negativity cannot break free, not as a door that it cannot get in.
coat the lemon halves by putting them open-face first into the salt. If you may choose to sprinkle the salt on the lemon instead, there is no need for the dish for salt.
place the lemon halves with salt on the dish you have designated for them and you may put them in a room of your home or living space that holds the most stale or negative energy. If the whole place is equally stale/negative, place in the main room or kitchen or place that is frequented.
if the lemon molds, redo the cleansing spell, the rotting lemon means that it has collected a lot very quickly. best result is that the lemon dries out without molding. I normally repeat this every couple months.
