Livvie the Witchie and her Magickal Studies

Elements with Spirit The elements are essential in all forms of magick. Across the world, we see how spirit and nature coexist, to create ourselves and the reality around us. Therefore, we utilize the four natural elements with the ultimate fifth element, spirit, to bring our desires into this reality (with permission of such elements and Mother Earth herself.) We call upon this elements when casting a circle, which you can read about here . Elemental Associations Each element has many different associations that we can use to incorporate them physically and spiritually in our magick, for they encompass important elements of our every day lives. These associations are highly agreed upon within our current spiritual communities, for we see these associations in astrology, tarot, ancient traditions, and more. But, these are still subject to your own interpretation. Experiment and feel out what you associate the elements with. Consider meditating with each element somehow and see what you...

NOTE: Every entry in the spell book is based my own magickal practices. You DO NOT have to do everything nor anything I do. Everyone's magick is different and should be discovered through careful experimentation and with the freedom to do what others do or to not. Use this as a template or instructions. It's all up to you. Also, please make sure in any spells/rituals you are safely handling fire and other dangerous elements.  The Circle or Ring of Protection & Power or Ring of PP (hehe) To cast a circle/ring of protection & power, means to create a space that is protected from unwanted energies and powered with the energies of your supporting universal forces. This is something to be done before any spellwork/ritual, both to enhance your magick and to make sure you don't get messed up in the process. When we're doing a spell, we're calling upon very powerful forces to help bring our desires into this realm from other realms. In the process, like flies to fru...

The New Moon is upon us and I'm so happy to be sharing my first tarot reading on this blog during the first new moon of the year. I hope this all assists you on your life path and bringing about blessings along the way. Enjoy! New Moon in Capricorn & the 7th House Before we jump into the reading, I wanted to give some background on the energy of this new moon. A New Moon gives energy to new beginnings, ending addictions, boosting communications, and strengthening partnerships, especially with the Divine. Now, when we add Capricorn's and the 7th House's energies to it, we're seeing matters dealing with career, status, and business partnerships. Capricorn is known for it's hardworking attitude and Cardinal leadership, so when combining that with the 7th House, which is about all matters of relationships/partnerships, as well as contracts and legal issues, we can see that this next month is going to be all about starting new projects and gaining opportunities with ...

Ya'll been hearing this word thrown around everywhere, right? Manifest money, manifest love, manifest happiness, etc. People say it's to make something come true. But, it's so much more complicated than that, and yet so simple to do. I'm gonna tell you what the hell manifestation is, how to do it, and give you some of my favorite techniques. What is Manifestation? Manifestation is the act of bringing what you desire into this reality/plane of existence. It seems easy enough. However, before you can start pulling things into this shared reality, you should know where you're pulling these things from. Let's actually start by knowing the functions of the Universe. Although nowhere near knowing all of those functions, we have a general idea of what some of them are. Across cultures we have different terms for the things I'm about to say, and all of them are still debated and being researched into. Nonetheless, it provides a framework that we can utilize in our m...

Just a lil brown girl from Queens The name is Liv Dunbar and as we speak right now, I'm a junior at Smith College. I grew up with Dominican, Puerto Rican, and Jamaican parents. However, we didn't practice a lot of our cultural elements until I got older. It became crucial for me to understand who I am and where I stand amongst the colors of the world, especially in these times. Now, I'm fully dedicated to learning everything that encompasses my bloodlines, venerating my loving ancestors, and even pursuing a side career in archaeology to uncover more about my Taino ancestry. Something that's remained unchanged in my life, and even encouraged by my own mother, was my love and curiosity for all things magick and metaphysical. My favorite movies as a child were the live action Scooby Doo (2002), Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992), and my all time favorite Practical Magic (1998). I read nothing but fantasy in my life, consistently drawn to and finding belonging in the magic tha...
