The Inked Grimoire

There’s magick all around, including on each day of the week. One of the simplest ways to strengthen a spell or enhance your magick is to work with the magickal energies of specific days of the week. Here’s a quick guide!

In the world of witchcraft, the topic of working with deities is as fascinating as it is complex. On the latest episode of 'Busy, Gritty, Inked, and Witchy', Morgan takes us on a magickal journey through the ins and outs of deity work. 

Living a magickal life means you’re exposed to more energies than other people – it’s like we become an antenna for good and bad vibes. It also feels like you’re suddenly on the radar for the spiritual world, so a little extra protection always comes in handy. But this is just one reason you might want to veil in your practice and/or everyday life. Once reserved for Abrahamic religions and specific occasions like funerals or weddings – i.e., a bride’s veil – veiling is becoming popular among the magickal and pagan communities.

Love is in the air, but you don’t have to wait for Valentine’s Day to cast some love magick. There are a few dos and don’ts when it comes to this practice, though, so proceed with caution. Here are some guidelines for your love magick. 

If the idea of casting a spell brings to mind a cinematic image of three sisters over a boiling cauldron, just know that we’re big fans of “Hocus Pocus” too! However, you don’t have to be super fancy about your spells. As you continue reading this post, there’s one thing I want you to remember: You are the magick.

Life can get heavy sometimes, and it’s important to have practices for your mind, body, and soul when you need them. So, we got together to share our favorite practices with you. We hope these help you connect even more with yourself. Here’s what we witches at ICG recommend!

Mother Goddesses embody the essence of motherhood, creation, and fertility, as well as destruction and the seasons. As such, they are the perfect combination of every aspect of the life cycle. They are present in various religions and traditions and give us the chance to tune into nature and the spiritual world around us. Are you ready to work with or honor a Mother Goddess?

The fiery, masculine energy of summer is perfect for creation, creativity, and new beginnings. Whether you’re hitting the road for a beach vacation, growing your own produce, or looking to master a new skill, these deities and magickal creatures are wonderful allies for summer.

By the time the Summer Solstice comes around, we’re fully in the fertile, hot time of the year (especially around IGC HQ in Arizona!). It’s also the time of abundance, joy, romance, creativity, and passion. “Solstice” comes from the Latin words for “sun standing still,” but this isn’t the time for us to remain still. Let’s put it this way: If you’ve been looking for a sign that it’s time to ignite the fires of creativity, this is it!
