Witches Morning Routine

Witchy Tip #3

DO. NOT. BUY. THE. JARS! For some reason when you become a witch (or even a zero/low-waster) you are going to be tempted to buy up jars like they're going out of style. Resist the urge, you will be shocked how many jars you accumulate if you save the ones from food products. One exception you may want to make is if you need something super air tight and don't trust the jar from whatever you just finished. Other than that, you are going to end up with a shit ton of jars, like your house is literally going to look like a craft store.

Note: I'm, uh, speaking from a friends experience with this because I wouldn't know personally. 🤥 😂

- Erika, The Clumsy Witch

The afternoon began with wild collecting for my besom.

After soaking the bristles to make it easier to tie them in a bundle, it was time to assemble them.

Plastic ties made the job relatively easy. I then wound wire in between the gaps beside the ties, tucking the ends of the wire into the bundle. Then I cut the ties carefully away so as not to cut the bristles. Finally, I wet some twine and tied that around the bundle, evenly spaced. I found a branch already cut and whittled at the ends in the woods by the river, it was as if someone had played around and fashioned a sort of spear with it and then just left it there!  It made for the perfect handle for my besom. Jammed that handle in the middle of the bundle hard, and that sucker isn’t going anywhere!

I put blue ribbon over the wire to make it look pretty (I think my Goddess likes blue, as it comes up a lot in different things lately) also, dammit, if I am going to own a besom, it is going to look pretty because I deserve it! Cost of my besom? $4.00 for plastic ties and ribbon from the dollar store, that’s it! And of course, the time that it took to gather the bundle from the wild, and search for a handle, all in all it took roughly 2 hours. Not too shabby, if I say so myself. 

Now I just have to cleanse the besom (with some sandalwood incense) and ask the God and Goddess to bless it. 

I feel it’s relevant for Wiccans and Witches to know you CAN make your own broom at home with just a few things collected from nature. No, you don’t have to be very good at putting craft projects together, and this honestly was very easy to assemble.

It really bothers me when I hear of others involved in the craft who have literally spent a couple hundred bucks easy on a besom/broom they bought online. Unless you WANT to spend that money because it saves time, etc., fine. But otherwise, I feel you are being taken advantage of because no one has told you the steps to make your own.

You will need:

Twigs, straw, whatever for the bristles

Long plastic ties

A small hand saw, or as in my case I used a bread knife to cut the grassy-like straw

Craft wire

Scissors or garden clippers to cut straw/twigs

Branch for the handle

Blade to whittle point in the branch

Twine

Ribbon

If you have ANY questions, please message me. It must be mentioned, this was the first broom I’ve ever put together, so if I can do it, you can too.

~☀︎︎Tarot Readings☀︎︎~

Hi friends, due to personal reasons I’m opening up “emergency” tarot readings. Due to family drama with my partners family, we are trying to move as urgently as possible, but I am also needing to save up for a car since mine had an engine failure.

I will try to keep readings as affordable as possible, but I do need to earn a little income. I will also try to have these out as timely as possible, but I do work full-time and may try to pick up extra hours where I can.

8 card spread: $10

BYOS (bring your own spread) essentially I’ll do a reading with the spread of your choosing: $10

How it works

You may feel free to message me here or email me (contact info below). After we have our initial consultation and payment is received, I will send you your reading, depending on what you choose! When you message/email me, I just ask you please include your name, what reading you would like, if you would like a certain spread, and anything else you may need me to know. If you have a particular focus or question, please include that! Feel free to ask any questions after I send you the reading, I do not mind explaining! All readings will be sent via message or email. However you choose to contact me will be how I send your reading.

Tips are also greatly appreciated. If you choose to not want a reading, but would still like to help me out, that is also greatly appreciated. If you are not satisfied with your reading, please feel free to discuss this with me. I do not mind re-doing a reading if you feel it does not resonate with you. I will however charge a 2$ re-do fee, as tarot readings do take up energy and time. I hope you understand! I look forward to reading for you! Blessed be ♡︎
