An Ouija board is a spiritual board used to communicate with the dead. The Ouija board originated from Baltimore, Maryland in 1890. People believed that the dead were able to contact the living, through the use of a talking board, which is very similar to the modern day Ouija board, at camps in Ohio in 1886. On July 1 1890 the Ouija board was advertised as an innocent game, and the term ‘Ouija’ is now owned by Hasbro. So, how does an Ouija board work? The board consists of numbers and letters, and it has the words ‘yes’ and ‘no’. To use a Ouija board, you have to use the panchet(a small heart shaped piece of wood/plastic). Place your fingers on it and the spirits will move it around the board to spell out words and answer your questions. I have never used a ouija board before as I think it can be dangerous, as you are opening up a portal to allow any spirit, good or bad. However Ouija boards have always fascinated and intrigued me. Ouija Board Etiquette: Do: Darken the room and entice the spirits to visit by using candles Avoid distractions, turn that phone off! Warm up the board by moving the planchette in circles or figures of eights Be specific about who you wish to communicate with Be respectful of the spirits Don’t: Do not use the Ouija board alone Do not confuse the spirits with questions you don’t want to know the answer to Don't ask questions you already know the answer to Do not accept all communications as a fact, listen to your gut Do not be disheartened if it doesn't work, sometimes the spirits don't want to talk! We would love to hear your experiences with the paranormal/Ouija boards, so DM us on Instagram or comment on our photos. Also let me know what topics you would like me to talk about, I am happy to talk about witchcraft, the paranormal, conspiracy theories, anything unusual and interesting. Take caution when opening yourself up to spirits/using a Ouija board, you never know who you could be talking to. Love and light, the Luna Wytch x

Manifesting is when you first see something in your mind, then put it out into the universe to achieve it. I like to make vision boards, so that everyday I can look at the things I want to achieve over a certain period of time, and really visualise myself doing those things. There are some simple rules to follow when manifesting: ● Vision: focus clearly on what you want, literally visualise it, see it, feel it. ● Ask: ask the universe for what you want, put it out to the universe. ●   Action: work towards your goal (for example, if you're trying to manifest a job, apply for a number of jobs that you can see yourself enjoying, and the universe will help to point you in the right direction). ●   Trust the process: you have to believe in what you want to manifest and then trust the universe to do its part. ●   Vibes: you attract what you put out into the universe. Try your hardest to put out love and light. I love the witchy community on Tiktok. I spend hours on the app, learning new tips and tricks within the magic realm. I came across a way to manifest the things you want from a TikTok video. It's called 369 . So, you write out the thing that you want 3 times, then write out the intention 6 times, and then write the action 9 times. For example, if you wanted to manifest a new job: Job, job, job. Get called, get called, get called, get called, get called, get called. Have a job, have a job, have a job, have a job. For an interview, for an interview, for an interview, for an interview, for an interview, for an interview. Have a job, have a job, have a job, have a job, have a job. There is also another way I found to manifest your goals. The 33x3 Method: Use the sentence; I am so grateful now that I have [insert what you'd like to happen as if it has already happened]. You must write your affirmation 33 times for 3 days in a row, it’s that simple! Let us know how you get on with manifesting your goals. Have you already had some luck achieving your desires?

25/07/20 | The Homebrew Witch This has altogether been a very strange week for witches. With the moon-fae-sun hex dominating community discussions and the various disputes around social media that have followed, it’s been pretty divisive to say the least. This week, I’ve decided to keep our forecast as simple as possible with a 3 card past, present, future spread. I hope it provides some clarity for you all amidst the mania. Past: King of Wands Reversed The King of Wands reversed indicates an inability to manage our creativity and passions effectively. Whether this is due to a lack of time, energy, focus or money, there is clearly a blockage amongst the collective, preventing our potential from being realised. The fire keeping many of our passions aflame may have diminished this week as many burn out trying frantically to produce the work they want to. Pause, and give yourself some space. Present: King of Swords Sometimes, you just need a good blast of air to get your fire going again. This week, focus on finding clarity instead of rushing out work. Take a step back and survey your plans analytically from afar to assess what is no longer serving you. You may be surprised at what you find and what new ideas begin to form in your mind. Future: The World Reversed When switching gears and approaches like this, we must be careful not to lose connection to our true purpose. The distance we need to find clarity may take us too far away from our aims, leaving us feeling dispassionate. In the days to come, take some time to remind yourself what it is you’re seeking to achieve and bear this goal in mind going forward. You’ve got this. These forecasts are for the collective. They aren’t personal so they may not resonate 100% with you but there will always be a nugget of guidance in there. I’d love to hear what really spoke to you so get in touch with me at @homebrewwitch or www.homebrewwitch.com to let me know. Have a lovely week and I’ll see you next time!
