Witchy Wednesday - Owning Your Energy

So many times we walk around in this world allowing our energy to run a muck.



We forget that when we send out certain types of energy we attract certain types back to us.  You've heard the old saying misery loves company? Well if you walk around the world miserable eventually you'll find someone to join in your misery and soon all that you'll have around you is negativity.

Ever had a day (week, month or year) that just seemed to be filled with issue after issue? One "bad" thing after another happening to you?  Check your energy. What are you putting out there?  Are you a gloomy Gus?  Are you a negative Nancy?  Yeah I said that.



The great thing at this point is that you see that pattern. You can recognize that you need to take control of the space you're in and the energy you bring into that space. Learning some simple techniques you'll be able to remove that negativity and bring back some prosperity into your world.

Here is a really good info video on Smudging.





If you really want to get an in-depth course. Head over to Tree of Life Apothecary's Etsy shop and pick up Sage Advice.  I highly recommend it.


The main way to get yourself together and JUST DO IT.


All joking aside, I see so many magical people sitting back and letting the world happen to them. You have to take control of the situation and take steps to improve or direct your energy to the correct avenue.  If you want to learn a new spell, pick up a book and dedicate some time to learning it. If you want to stop those nasty little accidents from occurring around your house, take a few minutes and cleanse your space.  You control this space.  You can "allow" it to continue to ruled by negativity or you can "allow" positive, prosperous and happy energy to live there.   It is all up to you.



Sing and dance with me ya'll.



Throwing Thursday - Smudge & Pigs

I have one more vending event of the season, but figured I would go ahead and get a head start on some new requests.  I have an outstanding request for memorial jars to contain the ashes of loved ones passed on.  I've been working on those and they have to make themselves known to me as they come.  This week the clay decided it wanted to be salt pigs, smudge plates and an incense burner.

My incense burners are much wider at the base than those you get in the store.  To me, what is the good of a skinny little dish.  The ashes end up all over your counter or across the floor.

A smudge plate, is a plate that is slanted on one side to help hold the plate in one hand so that the other hand can be used to waft the sage smoke around the person or area being smudged.

A salt pig is a jar that sits on the counter with an opening in the front of the dish.  The hand or a spoon is used to reach in and scoop the salt out of the pig.  I haven't completed one all the way yet so you'll have to use your imagination until we reach the end of this project.

Here's what I turned this past Saturday.
