Following from 'txewluke'. Just a Southern Black witch who's found himself in the desert. search: "BoS" tag for specific witchcraft. search "angels" tag for what divinity looks like to me.

as a person who is apart of the spiritual community and has been for a while,

Shifting isn't real.

"oh but it's been around for 5000 years ancient buddhists used t-"

no nononon shut up. just stfu. that is a lie that you just made up or heard from someone lying to you. that is cultural appropriation. shut up

"b b b but if you just keep trying, no just listen, think about if it IS real! what you're missing out on! just meditate a little bit more!!!!"

cult-like behavior, no?

Water Witching

A page out of my book of shadows

Moon Water- When talking about moon water, unless specified, often refers to full moon water. Moon water can be made under any moon phase, which ever moon phase will work best for you and your practice. Look into the properties brought out by each moon phase and and charge your water with that intent. Leave it out in the moon light and bring it back in before the sun comes up. Store it somewhere dark and out of direct sunlight. Many believe that if your moon water touches a little bit of sun light it is okay, seeing as moonlight is sunlight reflected off of the moon. It is all up to personal preference. This water can be given as offerings to deities with moon symbolism.

You can add crystal or herbs to your moon water as you see fit. Make sure the crystal you put inside the water are safe to put in the water. A good rule of thumb is that if it ends in -ite do not put it in water. This is not always the case but its better safe than sorry. Tigers Eye also can not go into water. Some crystals can release harmful chemical into your water as well. Some, when placed into water can create poisonous gas. I choose to avoid placing crystals directly into the water.

Sun Water- Sun water is used a lot more for forceful banishing and cleansing. The fiery aspect of the sun is often used for a more immediate out come. Sun water can be used to help boost energy and can be given as offerings to deities that have any symbolism around the sun. Leave water out in direct sun light for about a full day and bring it in just before sun down.

Ocean Water- This is water collected from the ocean. This water is often used for healing, cleansing and purification. Focus on the way the ocean makes you feel as you collect the water and place your intentions into the water you are gathering. This water can also be used as an offering to deities with water symbolism.

Storm Water- Not to be confused with rain water, this is water collected during a storm. This water will strengthen spells and rituals, bring confidence, charge motivation, and will help break through any rough patches. This is great for self improvement rituals and baths. Remember how the storm makes you feel while collecting the water.

Rain Water- This water is collected during a rainy day. It can be collected by placing jars or buckets outside your home. Be careful, make sure to check the laws regarding rain water collection where you live. This water is multi purpose, it is great for spells regarding growth and rebirth. It is also great for spells you wish to empower over time. When collecting the water, take a moment to sit outside, in or out of the rain based on personal preference, and think about how this rain is making you feel. The water you collect that day will be great to use in spells with similar themes to how it made you feel.

River/lake Water- This water is collected from a river or lake. It helps with spells regarding moving on from past events. This could be an ex or a past experience you wish to no longer affect you.

Snow Water- This water is collected by melting snow. Scooping snow into a jar or bucket and letting it melt is the easiest way to collect it. Always collect more than you need, once the snow melts you will be left with less water than you originally anticipated. This water is great for purity, cleansing, and purification.

Dew Water- This water is collected from the morning dew on plants. This water aids in love, fertility, and glamour magic. Washing your face with that mornings dew water with the intentions of beauty is a great, simple use.
