Top 5 Best Teas for Psychic Enhancement

Teas for Psychic Enhancement

Do you want something to give you an extra kick when you're doing a reading? Or do you need something to help you move along throughout the day that will help you be alert and aware psychically? Well here is five easy tea recipes that'll help you with your psychic awareness and intuition.

Now I know most of us are coffee drinkers here in the United States so I might be a little bit of the weird one here but I love tea. 

I drink more tea per year than I do coffee. For one it tastes great and two there's a lot of flexibility with tea in flavor and uses. Well, that's just my personal experience and opinion.

So I thought I'd share some teas that I found that help with psychic abilities. That I tend to drink when I am doing readings or doing anything that has to do with my intuition. 

So my rule is if you can't afford it or can't pick it out in nature going to the grocery store and buying it off of the Shelf is perfectly fine. It will not stop you from getting the effects that you desire. It may not taste as great but it will still work.

How To Create Black Salt and Why You Need It

Are you feeling like regular white salt isn't cutting it when it comes to removing negativity and protecting you from unwanted entities and spells? Well, you're not alone a lot of us go through this at least once in our lives. 

A good solution to this is having and knowing how to make black salt. And yes there is a difference between regular white salt and black salt.

There are two main differences, the first one is that you cannot eat black salt, not this kind of black salt anyways. Unlike white salt which is regular salt that you put in your food so you can eat it.

Secondly, white salt purifies negativity while black salt absorbs or repels negativity. So that's why it's a good idea to throw away your black salt after a couple of months maybe weeks depending on the intensity of the negativity of where you have it.

How To Tell If Your House Is Haunted

Can you imagine coming home or to your place of work and feeling as if you're being watched? Are sensing cold spots that move or strange smells that you don't know where they're coming from? Well if things like this are happening to you keep reading because it could answer some questions. 

Earlier this month I wrote a blog post about how to set up your Samhain altar. The blog post was mostly about how to commune and honor your deceased loved one. The reason for this is because the veil between the living and the dead is very thin. 

This means that spirit communication, ghosts, and hauntings are more prevalent during this time. In this blog post, I'm going to give you some tips so you can better differentiate whether what you are experiencing is Paranormal or just the wind. 

Last but not least before we start if one thing is occurring typically I wouldn't say that it's a haunting but if a good chunk of all of these things is happening at once then you have something.

How to Set Up Your Samhain Altar

The nights get longer the days get shorter the wind gets chillier,  the leaves start to fall and winter is looming. This is the time of year where the earth goes into hibernation. 

It's the time of the year that for a lack of a better term the Earth dies. In ancient times people realize this and they also noticed that the veil between the living and the dead is very thin. 

They use this time of the year to communicate with their deceased loved ones. To know if their crops were going to grow next season if they were going to be safe for the winter, and to reconnect with old loved ones that have been gone.In return giving them offerings and gifts of their favorite food and drinks.

Over the centuries this time of year has become Halloween October 31, where we dress up as monsters and sexy cheerleaders as we go house to house asking for candy. But for centuries this holiday was called Samhain and some of us till this day still celebrate this holiday to honor the Dead and to communicate with them. 

In this blog post, I'm going to help you out creating your ancestor Altar for Samhain. Now there's no hard-fast rule and how you're supposed to do this but think of it more as me giving you ideas. I also did another blog post a couple of years ago on how to do a Dumb Supper so if you're interested go check that out. You might be able to add something from there as well from what I'm telling you here.
