The randomness of my mind.....

So I've been thinking lately about expanding my herbal knowledge and applying it to my daily life and spell work. So let's start with what I know:

1. Any person can make spells stronger by adding items/elements that speak to them. Be it colors, candles, words, music, herbs, crystals,etc.

2. The most powerful aspect of a spell is the person's intent.

3. When setting out to perform a spell a person needs to have concise intent and make sure to apply it to the spell.

4. Depending on how fast a person wants a spell to manifest, they need to choose which element to use for the spell, ie., Fire=Fast, Earth=Slow, Air=Medium, Water=Medium.

5. Visualization is a major part of manifestation, if you can't visualize what the outcome is I'm not real sure the spell or manifestation will work the way you want it to. 

Now let's go with what I don't know:

1. I have a hard time figuring out what planetary hours mean.

2. Have no idea how planetary rulers work.

3. Need to work on visualization skills, meditation and spell craft in general.

4. Need to figure out what exactly the witch's pyramid means to me and apply it. 

5. Need closer spirituality with The God and The Goddess.

6. Need to talk more with the deities and figure out which ones speak to me and why.

7. I really think I need a mentor more then I want to acknowledge. 

8. I have got to figure out how I got into this "funk" I am currently in, and in learning that learn how to keep it from happening again. 

9. Need to learn the properties be it magickal or healing for the herbs I presently have and build a bigger base from there. 

Current list of herbs I have:

Yarrow                                             Bay Leaves

Catnip                                               Mandrake

Chamomile                                       Mugwort

Lavender Flowers                           Plantain

Dill                                                     Dandelion

Thyme                                              Moss

Eucalyptus                                       Rosemary

Nut Meg                                           Bee Balm

Alfalfa Leaves                                  Oregano

Adder's Tongue                               Marjoram

Parsley                                              Basil

Black Mint                                        Lavender Leaves

I also need to work on my knowledge of crystals, but that is another blog all together.

I know that this sounds like I'm a little out of it, but really these are things that need learning/fixing. They mean so much to me and to my spiritual expansion. So if any of you have any suggestions they would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks for reading!!

Blessings!!
