Your skincare routine! When I started making herbal skincare products it was purely out of necessity. I kept seeing companies greenwashing product claims to read; “made with organic ingredients”, “all natural”, “plant-based”, only to read the labels or check out their website and find there were preservatives, color additives, only tiny amounts of botanical extracts, and toxic fragrance oils that are known carcinogens, hormone disruptors, and neurotoxins. So while working to create an occult inspired, herbalist formulated, 100% organic and truly all natural skincare line; I was in the mirror multiple times a day, indulging in luxurious oils, cleansing them away, anointing myself, inhaling the intoxicating scents and really connecting deeply with my body and spirit to create the best products that I possibly could. After months of testing and trying each formulation over and over again, I realized that I had ritualized my daily routine and I saw an opportunity to infuse this time and space that I was already carving out for myself everyday to go beyond the practicality of skincare…and use it to deepen my spiritual practice. Understanding, not only the physics of beauty but also the meta-physical effects of ritualized beauty. So, I couldn't help but wonder: Why am I not giving myself a few moments of magick every single day? Post-revelation, I began to contemplate how to best bewitch my entire beauty routine. Every exploration led me back to the basics of magick….which, in my opinion, are THE foundation to any effective craft, and yet in our fast-paced instant gratification culture, these foundational pieces are the all-too-often-overlooked and not given enough time to develop and hone into a solid practice: grounding, cleansing, visualization, affirmation, protection and manifestation. Below, I will share a brief history of plant-based beauty rituals. Why should you add these foundational elements to your skin-care routine? How to incorporate ma gick into your daily routine. If you are in the broom closet, are a busy witch or have a hard time remembering to carve out space for ritual then this practice could be the perfect way for you to incorporate magick into your daily life.
I memorized the words and gestures needed to channel my energy and manifest my desires. Through practice and dedication, I honed my skills and grew more confident in my abilities. Next, I delved into potion-making.

I gathered rare herbs and ingredients, carefully following ancient recipes. I learned the art of blending different elements to create potions with different properties – potions for healing, potions for strength, and even potions for love. With each successful potion, my knowledge and proficiency grew. But witchcraft was not just about spells and potions; it was a way of life. I immersed myself in the study of divination, exploring various methods of fortune-telling. I learned how to read tarot cards, interpret dreams, and communicate with spirits. These skills allowed me to gain insights into the future and connect with the spiritual realm. As my understanding deepened, I became fascinated with astrology and its influence on our lives. I studied the movements of the planets and the significance of their alignment. I learned to interpret birth charts, understanding how the positions of the stars and planets at the time of our birth shape our personalities and destinies. My dedication to witchcraft extended beyond theoretical knowledge. I practiced meditation and visualization, honing my ability to focus and harness my inner power. I embraced the cycles of nature, understanding the importance of lunar phases and seasonal rituals. I performed rituals to honor the elements and connect with the natural world. Throughout my journey, I encountered skeptics and faced criticism. But I remained steadfast in my pursuit, knowing that witchcraft was a deeply personal and meaningful path for me. It offered a connection to something greater and provided a sense of purpose. It awakened in me a sense of empowerment and gave me the tools to navigate life's challenges. As I continued to hone my skills in witchcraft, I found myself embracing a harmonious balance between the spiritual and the mundane.
