1     What it means to be a Witch

‘’A Witch is someone who lives the Art, Science, and spirituality of witchcraft’’

First let’s touch upon where witches originated. Well the old ones were simply nothing more than that of wise men and women of there tribes, towns, families who those would go see for spiritual assistance, divinatory and medicinal purposes. In ancient cultures people would go visit the high priestesses and priests for healing. At the time, healing was much more that what our modern medical profession is today. Modern medicine is great in many ways, but in the ancient times, healing was a process involving the mind, emotions and spirit as well as the body. Healing was an energetic process.

A healer would give counsel and advice, and minister the spiritual balance of the individual. You will probably find many witches of today are involved in the healing arts, traditional of otherwise, because helping others in such an important part of witchcraft.

A witch is someone who ‘’walks between worlds’’ – like that of a shaman. The shaman believes in non physical, spiritual realms, in these worlds, one can get information and healing energy, and communicate with spirits. The Shaman ministers to his people though the ability, to effect healing of the mind, body and spirit. Witches like Shaman believe in non physical realms. They are bridges between worlds. 

The belief in and the practice of magic has been present since the earliest human cultures and continues to have an important religious and medicinal role in many cultures today. Witchcraft is a spirituality, you walk a spiritual path for nourishment of the soul, to commune with the life force of the universe, and better your own life.

To determine the Witch you must first determine the craft the witch practices. I myself am all of the above, I aim to help others and to heal them and to better the

individual. I'm not a villain from a fairy tale story poisoning apples or placing curses upon people.

I help heal people through the art of Tarot and the three fold law. I’m a strong believer that what you put out you shall receive.

I hope this can somewhat explain what being a witch means, I shall upload soon more about my craft as always <3 your little witch x x x

Oil Pulling - teeth hygiene

Ask a Little Witch

The Art of Oil Pulling

Oil pulling has been used for 1000’s of years from culture to culture. It’s a traditional way of cleaning your teeth but with added benefits.

Oil pulling is easy and effective, it aims to remove harmful toxins, bacteria and plaque from your mouth. In time it will improve the overall health of your mouth, gums and teeth, as well as other benefits in your body.

So what is Oil pulling 

It’s a holistic remedy for bleeding gums. It involves swishing a tablespoon of oil (coconut & sesame oil are my favorites) around your mouth for 5 minutes working up to 20 minutes. 

Now what this does is pull any bacteria, toxins and plaque from your mouth. It does this by mixing with your saliva, turning into a white liquid. Lipids in the oils begin to pull out the toxins from the saliva. As the oil is swished around the mouth, teeth, tongue and gums, the oil continues to absorb the toxins, it will then sometimes start to thicken. Once the oil has reached this consistency, it’s time to spit out in a bin (not down the sink), it’s important you do not swallow as you do not want to re-absorb the toxins you have just removed with the oil.

- How do Oil Pull –

1. 1.     You will need a table spoon of oil. Place the table spoon of oil into your mouth and begin to swish. I often set my timer for 20 minutes. Obviously when starting out you might find it difficult to swish for the full 20 minutes, so maybe start with 5 and build up.
2. 2.     To see full benefits I recommend doing this for about 21 days in a row, in the morning is best as it’s the time that you have the most bacteria in your mouth. After the 21 days you can do it 3 times a week, and work your way down to just once or twice a week or as and when you feel you need it.
3. 3.     Spit out into a bin, never down a sink oil is not good for house hold piping.
4. 4.     Rinse mouth with water & then brush teeth as normal
