Memento mori

I dote on abnormal and ghoulish things.
Let me live here, and love you forever.

The bottles beneath my bed are the bodies of my dreams that are dead.
You killed them and you mutilated me.
I want to taste love and freedom
but you burned me until I was numb.

You’re a mirror.
Sleeping.
I’m sleepless.
Tell me what I need to hear just to make me
Shut. The. Fuck. Up.
I’m aware.
But where are you?

I put my eggs all in one basket and the chickens flew the coop.
I guess friend are temporary.
Or as my bf says, a reason, a season, or a lifetime.
Things could be worse. But I feel pretty shitty right now.

➔ With the winter and holidays, some of us start feeling a little down at heart. This spell is to help lift your spirits a little and fight back against some of those bad feelings.

         [materials]

  • white string
  • athame/sharp knife/scissors
  • blue candle
  • yellow candle
  • vanilla, lilac, or lavender incense

(As always, everything is optional! Things can be added or ignored, to suit your own resources and preferences.)

➔ Clean your space! If we’re doing a positivity charm, we can’t have negativity already invading your workspace. Sometimes just the act of cleaning and cleansing can help you feel better. Also, take a bath or shower (if you don’t already before performing magic). Light your incense. Once again, for mental processing I like to burn vanilla (plus that tends to be a feel good sent), but lilac and lavender also work very well.

➔ Take your yellow candle and light it, imagining the suns boundless light and energy. Imagine it’s warm and how it feels to bathe in the sunlight on a peaceful afternoon. Let all of that peace and power fill you up, and light your blue candle. This candle is calmness, is the steady movement of the ocean, the great expanse of cloudless sky. This candle embodies eternal and omnipresent peace.

“I am the sun. I am the sky. I am the sea. I am light and beauty and power.”

➔ Take your string and hold it in your hands tightly. Visuals any negativity, soreness, bitterness, sadness… take it all and imagine it moving through your body to collect at your fingertips in the form of dark smoke, and imagine it expelling into the string, leaving you clean and pure. Then, using what ever tool your comfortable with, whether you have a ceremonial knife you use for metaphysical work, or just an ordinary pair of scissors— take it and cut the string in half.  

➔ Burn one half in the flame of the blue candle, and one in the flame of the yellow candle (make sure you have a plate or something underneath, beware of fire hazards and do not hold the string the whole time it burns). Once the string has completely burnt away, close your eyes and think about how you feel. Meditate on your body and mind, assess how you feel. Don’t let yourself dwell on spots you missed, we can never expel all the negativity, but instead focus on what feels cleaner. Do you feel lighter? Calmer? Less tense? Focus on those feelings, then put out your candles.

[tips]

Know that magic can’t replace professional help. If you’re feeling very bad, consider reaching out. Know your limits and don’t let yourself get pushed too far. I’m a witch, and I’m also in therapy. I use magic to help with my mental illness, but I don’t rely on it, just like I don’t rely on therapy 100%. Balance is important.
