Worship edition Sometimes as someone who is stuck in one spot, it can be hard to feel connected to your gods/goddesses/deities. However, it’s not as hard as you may think to find some solid methods! Please note that your deities understand your situation and don’t expect you to suffer for them or consistently do things for them! Burn candles or incense that remind you of them. If you are unable to do this, try an oil diffuser or room spray. Use blankets, sheets, pillows, etc. that have colors you associate with them. Make an online devotional blog or altar. I do this [X] Chat with other people who work with them. If your body is okay with it, eat foods that are sacred/connected to them. Hang pictures or decorations that correspond with their sacred animals, plants, or what lessons or teachings they present to you. Write devotional poetry, or make drawings for them. Draw sigils for them and hang them on your walls, ceiling, or put under your mattress. Find a stuffed animal that you feel captures their essence or reminds you of them, and hold it close when you need the support. Research them/browse their tag on tumblr. Keep stones and crystals you associate with them near you – on a bedside table or under your pillow. Use astral travel or dream magic to connect with them. Listen to music that makes you feel closer to them. Watch shows or movies that remind you of them. Pray to them, talk to them, write them a letter. Stay in communication with them, especially in times of need. Meditate. Drink something warm or cool that helps you connect with them. Make a spell bottle/jar that you feel captures their essence. Charge during good days, use for connection and support during the not-so-good days. Make emoji spells to feel more connected to them. Expose yourself to natural light (or gentle artificial light) or complete darkness, depending on the deity. Devote small, everyday tasks to them. (Example for the Greek + Roman pantheon.) Read books about them, or that remind you of them/their values. Make herb sachets for them, keep them under your pillow or hang on your wall. Wear scented oils, perfumes, lotions, or pick a shampoo with a scent or ingredients that make you think of them. @thewitchofthenorse also has a post on this here! And here is a post about nature connection while bedridden, which is great for nature deities! Again, please note that you don’t need to do anything to be connected to your gods/goddesses/deities. They know and understand what you are going through, and are patient.

Nature edition Most of us bedridden peeps don’t have an awesome bed setup like this, and our nature exposure can be limited. However, here’s some tips and tricks to staying connected to nature while stuck in bed, with contributions from myself Open a window, or crack the curtains Hang rainbow prisms in your window Keep a houseplant nearby If regular houseplants require too much energy: Try cacti, succulents, lucky bamboo, or spiderplants! Hang nature/forest/plant artwork around Get air freshener or room spray that reminds you of the outdoors Watch a nature documentary or shows with people exploring nature – check out nature (photography) videos on Netflix for calming videos Listen to forest soundscapes [X] Set a nature scene as your screensaver Keep a jar of soil around Talk with any nature deities you work with Follow nature blogs Get sheets, blankets, or pillowcases with leafy designs, flower designs, etc. Get a star map app on your phone to be more connected to the night sky Have a vase of flowers (real or fake) Keep crystals around that remind you of nature (Moss agate, petrified wood, onyx, selenite, agate geodes, etc.) Use sigils designed to connect you to nature Use air conditioning or a fan to make it less stuffy in your room Read and write poetry about nature Press plants/flowers or hang dried herbs by your bed Spend some time looking outside of your window Burn a nature scented candle or incense (Irish moss, myrrh, frankincense, opium, and lavender) Use astral travel or dream magic to get to outdoor areas Watch livestream videos of outdoor areas Make a sachet of grass, oak bark (or whatever tree you like), quartz, and salt. Hang it near your bed. With help from others: Get someone to collect rainwater for you, and use it to wash your face Ask a friend to take some pictures of cool places they go in nature and send them to you Have someone collect rocks/plants/feathers etc. from each day and bring them back for you Have someone pick wildflowers for you Drink some herbal tea Have someone you trust harvest wild edibles/berries for you – or at least bring fresh fruits and veggies! Skype or video chat with someone while they’re outside Take the scenic route/detour to some natural areas the next time you need a car ride Stale energy edition Anyone who’s been stuck in bed knows how quickly that stale feeling can build up! Here’s some tips (both witchy and non) for clearing some of that unwanted energy. Thank you Open a window. Hang wind chimes outside. Hang a rainbow prism by your window, let the light cleanse your room. Keep a small fan. Flip over your blankets and pillows. Use a Himalayan salt lamp. Clean one area per day (can be minuscule or massive) Let the moon wash over your room. Burn candles, let the flame burn away any unwanted energy Make a spritz with scented herbs or infused water. Let the weather cleanse your room, no matter what it may be. Manipulate the energy with your hands. Do at least one hygienic thing per day. Set out a bowl of water to absorb the energy, dispose accordingly. Wash all of your bedding, place some cleansing sigils or herbs underneath your mattress. Wash yourself, even if it’s just with a cloth. Speak out loud (or communicate in some form) what things you would like to invite into your space. Use a wax melter with some cheery scents. Get a bouquet of fresh flowers. Play music. Burn incense, as the smoke wafts around the room let it push away any unwanted energy. Visualize a light clearing out the energy. Switch which side of the bed your lying on. When it rains, imagine the rain washing away or drawing out the energy. Laughter is the best medicine. Watch a funny or heartwarming movie that makes you feel content. Keep a jar and write down anything you want to let go of. Destroy accordingly. Change what clothes you’re wearing every couple of days. Hold a crystal and imagine it sending out positive energy. So many, many other things!

Different ways of witching bedridden witches who hear the call of the seas. Burn sea/beach scented candles. Listen to background sounds like waves or the wind. Make macrame strands that have glass beads or sea glass in them. SEA. SALT. Just keep a jar of sea salt around for any of your needs and to feel connected! Make a simple salt water spray to cleanse your space. Create an altar/shelf dedicated to the sea. Keep beach and ocean themed pictures, paintings and postcards around your room. Make a sand garden. Hold a glass of water on your hands, and focus on how the water is/has been connected to the ocean. Create a sideblog for all your ocean needs. Can double as an altar! Keep a collection of sea shells and invest in a shell field guide! Watch ocean documentaries. Keep crystals like opal, quartz, selenite, blue calcite, ocean jasper, and labradorite around.

Do seashell divination Decorate with beach/seaside decor - rustic wood, shells, blown glass, etc. Connect with any deities of the ocean/sea (for me that includes Amphitrite, Poseidon and Ceto). Make/wear seashell or pearl jewelry. Listen to music that makes you feel like you’re standing in front of the ocean. When it’s windy or downpour rain, allow it to take you to the sea. Feel the raw energy. Open the window a crack if you can! This is a great resource for some sea witching ideas! Kitchen witchin’ without the kitchen! With help from: @magical-girl-ilex and @spooniewitches! Set up: A tray of some sort - something to create a solid surface over your bed. Cookbooks and herb books tucked somewhere nearby. A crate of spices and herbs. Shelves that can store ingredients that are within reach of the bed/above the bed. Get a mini crock pot and set it up near your bed. Hang bundles of herbs to dry from the walls and ceiling. Keep simple, easy to open snacks nearby - saltines have salt, right? Cleansing! A pitcher/container of water. Herbs planted along the bedroom windowsill. A portable kettle that is safe to use within reaching distance of the bed. Rags or towels for spills. Room decorations that make you feel extra cozy! Things to do: Make infused honey. Draw sigils on the bottom of your plate/tray/mug before consuming things. Create tea blends and keep them in jars for the next time you want tea. When you eat or drink, feel it’s energy working to heal you. Make a spell bottle - include your favorite spices! Make a pinterest board of all the foods/recipes you want to try/make. Make tinctures! Plan menus for hypothetical meals - sabbats anyone? Burn candles that remind you of cozy smells coming from the kitchen. Create correspondences for the BRAT/Y diet. Look up recipes! Make cold infusions (basically tea, but with cold water and a longer waiting period). Process herbs; grind them, separate the leaves from the stems, get them ready to dry. Infuse water with things like: Lemon for energy, strawberries for love, cucumber for patience, etc. Connect with deities of home/hearth/baking/food/etc. Etch sigils into food before you eat it. Make herb packets and mixtures, that way you can just pop it in when you have enough energy to cook! Two words: Tea Magic. Utilize color correspondences of candy if that’s all you can get down. (Yellow = energy, red = self love, green = vitality). Place herbs in different places depending on their correspondences, so they can work a little magic. Other bedridden witchcraft posts:

4 forces of life Ball or mould Book Progress Love

We are ever changing that's why judgement is wrong. We are in a constant state of continuum. I also dreamed mysterious places and fantasy objects The book was an expression book where you can express any desire you want and it comes true

Last night I saw a dream where I saw a huge book of prayers or words opening up and spells written all over it. Like a mysterious book. Also the words written Man is a ball of clay that can be molded into anything we want.

Spontaneity means staying away or warding off forces

Blending creative idealism and vanity visualization. Creative idealism is more about the process, the system and the person. Example an ideal diet. Vanity visualization means developing an innate affinity for better quality in terms of everything. Example. Being creative and passionate and curious in life. Having higher goals. Wanting better things. Not being complacent or satisfied with the state of things. Developing an aversion for anything bad, miserable, low quality,undesirable, causing any discomfort and toxic. Always focusing on upgradation and improvement and better than the past or present. Wanting comfort and peace and beauty and working towards creating it. Creating not only an ideal or optimal environment/system but also improving it further constantly. Foolish vanity - this means vanity which is worthless or toxic and has no real purpose or meaning. Wisdom vanity - this means staying away from anything that is vain and also lower in value or character. Not associating with people with who do not possess value no matter how successful they are.

Today is Thursday Very tiring with the event on. Event ends on Sunday. Very exhausting. I need to work on daily pins.

Daily pins Based on creative idealism and vanity visualization Vanity visualization is a way of demarcation between relegation, complacency/compromise and upgradation. You start thinking that you deserve something special and you work towards it and you attract it. When you have an affinity for vanity you work towards proficiency.

Vanity resists the devil

Yesterday I was thinking about realities. And the awareness of realities and a respect for it. We aren't equipped to deal with realities. Realities although created by Satan are beyond our capacity to overcome. Life is tough. It's a losing battle. The acceptance of the nature of reality and human nature and human weaknesses and the insufficiency in dealing with reality effectively is important to be understood. You are what you are and you can only do so much. Hubris is dangerous. This understanding is important. Fantastical thinking leads to disaster. Think pragmatic. How should real love be. Think that. Not idealistic fantastical thinking that will bring misery and degradation. Here there is a distinct difference Unrealistic Idealism and realistic idealism are two different things. Unrealistic idealism is thinking in a fantastical way and not understanding reality and the limitations of human nature and existence or capacity. Realistic idealism is understanding what an actual or ideal state should be or look like in order to better the situation. For example what should an ideal diet look like. What should an ideal performance be or how should an ideal student be. These are scenarios of situations, conditions, events, people, resources that are necessary for a good outcome. For example an ideal diet is crucial to good health. In short its the description of an optimal system. The system of accountability instead of race based politics. If every person is made accountable for their actions their race won't matter... Either get with the system or don't. Overcoming unrealistic situations is obviously heroism. But there is a thin line between heroism in combating monumentally unrealistic hurdles and being completely unwise and inviting trouble and not being pragmatic about obvious consequences. Often rebellious people have to deal with this dilemma. They take on something that has no real pragmatic solution and get unrealistic and unreasonable in their behavior and end up inviting misery to themselves and their families. How to resolve this problem. 5 main points. ? Reasonable pragmatism.. Being reasonably practical or pragmatic or being pragmatic enough means being wise and practical and aware and accepting of the limitations of both the human being or individual or self or human nature and existence in general and also the limitations of the world or system we are born into and at the same time not allowing these limitations to impact our innate ability to desire, prosper and overcome. Not allowing the pragmatic pessimism to cause stagnation or complacency/compromise(trying to accept and be happy with something bad) or loss of hope and desire. ? Realistic idealism. Creative idealism. Creating a mental picture of an ideal scenario and then working to make it a reality. For example thinking of a ideal career or job or diet or political system and then actually making it a reality. ? Beneficial Idealism. This is either combative idealism or vision based or imaginative idealism. Like example if you have a vision for a technology which looks impossible now but might be possible in the future. Combative idealism is being hopeful that you will overcome a situation no matter how impossible. Heroism in a survival based unpragmatic situation. Vision based. ? Unreasonable idealism. This is being delusional and either being ignorant or irresponsible or unaccepting of consequences or disregarding of consequences and limitations. This is being unwise and or foolishly arrogant. This is either hubris or false pride or confidence or a form or narcissism, or being unwise and tactless,rash,reckless, foolhardy, misguided, thoughtless, without concern or caution or imprudent. ?Unrealistic or unfavorable Idealism. This is fantastical thinking that is usually unreasonable. Fairy like. It's not exactly unwise but not profitable rather unhealthy and eventually unwise and unfavorable. Can prove fatal sometimes. By following the above 5 points you strike a balance between pragmatism and idealism.

Runes One of Sweden’s great mysteries surrounds a monolith called the Björketorp Runestone (DR 360 U)(Pronounced Bee-york-kuh-torp). The nearly 14 foot (4.2 meters) stone is located in Blekinge, Sweden, and forms a stone circle with two other blank menhirs, with several other solitary stones in the surrounding regions. It is covered in a Proto-Norse language of Runes which contain a foreboding warning about the stone. One side of the stone reads: “I, master of the runes, conceal here runes of power. Incessantly (plagued by) maleficence, (doomed to) insidious death (is) he who breaks this (monument).” The runes on the other side of the stone translate to “Prophecy of Destruction” or “Prediction of Perdition”, which may be in reference to a warning pertaining to the stone’s destruction. In other words– my words– Don’t attempt to destroy this stone or you will surely die Some scholars have suggested that it is an ancient border marker between the Swedes and the Danes. It has also been thought to have been a fertility shrine or a shrine honoring the Norse god, Odin (All Father). Probably the most predominant theory surrounding the purpose of the monolith is that it was a burial marker, either for a real grave or as a memorial, which necessitated the use of a prophetic warning to prevent the stone’s removal; An archaeological investigation of the area conducted in 1914 did not reveal the presence of any human remains, so the purpose of the stone is still under speculation. Even though the purpose of the stone is unknown, the stone’s mysterious curse seems to be real… at least according to local legend. When the stone was thought to be an impediment to the land, which a local man desired to cultivate, its removal was attempted. On a day of calm weather and with no winds, the local man piled wood around the stone, so he could heat the stone and then crack it by pouring cool water over the stone’s surface. As the man set fire to the wood surrounding the stone, a gust of wind blew the flames away from the stone and towards the man, setting his hair on fire, and extinguishing the blaze around the Björketorp Runestone. The man, unable to quench the flames, died in terrible, flaming agony. Whether you believe the story of the curse or not, the stone’s cryptic message and the local legend surrounding it still gives one pause– Why is the Björketorp Runestone still standing after over 14 centuries?
