Many witches decide to grow their own herb garden, myself included. Just this year I have started one and I hope that it flourishes. I started one inside during the winter and it did alright, but the rain came and smashed down all of the living plants so I reseeded them.
First you need to make a plot for it and decide what kinds of plants to put in. Some plants need certain amounts of food or water and sun that differ from other plants so you should know which plants need which so that you can provide and allow your plants to grow better. Also, you must keep in mind about which plants are invasive and wil ltake over your garden and about weeds. Some plants will attract insects like bees so if you need to harvest the it might be better to harvest at night when these insects go back to their hives or homes. Mint is a very common and useful herb, but it is very invasive and it will take over your whole garden so if you want to grow mint, it is best to plant it away from other plants. Also, mint requires very little care because it grows like a weed, but at least you get it frequently.
Remember to take care fo your garden so that it desn't die. If you do all of this then you will have a healthy garden! Good luck.
The Wiccan Rede
Triquetra
This symbol, the triquetra represents the three fold law. It also represents the three stages of a women's life, maiden, mother, and crone. It is a common symbol in Wicca
Altar
This is a pretty standard pagan altar. Usually pagan altars or altars of practicing witches have a few candles, a pentacle, an athame and wand, inense and bowls upon it. Sometimes there are also crystals and other protection symbold, along with herbs and oils, sometimes even crystal balls or tarot decks.
Pentacle
Crystals
Crystals, though most people think they are just pretty rocks used in jewelry, actually contain an energy of their own which can be used for many purposes. They also have properties that many people manipulate to use as health benefits. Crystals are quite powerful and mroe remarkable than most people give them credit for.
Fortune Teller
Yes, there are actually people who sit in dusty old shops, waiting to read people's fortunes. However there are many methods to doing this. Read my post on divination to learn more.
About Me
- Dusk
- My name is Dusk The Strange, and some of my interests include art, writing, poetry, and many other artsy things. I have a love for many gothic things, especially gothic Victorian things. I have a love for the usual zombies, murderers, and mental patients, and I also love things such as anime and MMO's. I love makeup and shopping and other girly things. I also love tea and coffee. I do research of things like astronomy and mythology and random interests in my free time too. If you haven't noticed yet, my interests are all over the place.
Candles play a huge part in witchcraft. Certain colors mean specific things, like a red candle is for romance, a white candle is for protection, and so on. If a spell doesn't call for any candles, you can add candles that correspond to the spell for better success!
Crystal Therapy
This is an image of a woman who is trying out crystal therapy, a true form of therapy to ease one's body and help restore the natural chakras. Many people go to trained professionals who know how each crystal works in alleviating tension and how it affects the body. Witchcraft is mainly dealing with what science cannot identify as legit and making it work.
the Moon in Magick
Now the moon has been a central aspect of magick and pagan traditions for centuries. It has its own power and the cycles of it influence many people's practices. Wicca, witchcraft, magick, paganism, they all revolve around the moon to a certain degree.
Number of visits
Herbs also play a large role in witchcraft. They can be used in all sorts of ways from cooking, potions, additions to spells, etc. As important as they are, that doesn't mean that they aren't dangerous! If you don't know what an herb is, then find out before you intake it in any way, shape, or form! If you mess with the wrong plant, you could die!
