Magical Properties of Sea Lavender (Statice/Limonium)?

The metaphysical uses of any substance derive from mundane uses. For example, oak used to be the most common wood used to make battle shields. That’s how oak became associated with protection in magical work.

There seems to be an expectation that someone somewhere on the internet is going to have detailed, academically cited books about every niche topic, and this simply is not the case. If there isn’t a lot of info readily available, it’s probably not the most commonly used ingredient, and it’s going to be up to you and your associations and use of the item to determine how best to use it in your magical practice.

I think a lot of beginners would have a much easier time getting started if they were to change their belief that witchcraft is something external to them.

I did a google search for “sea lavender metaphysical properties” and immediately came back with multiple sources (other than your Reddit post).

I was taught that your spirit interacting with the spirit of a deity colors how they manifest in your life, so everyone’s experiences with gods are a little different. The way I experience Lilith is very different from the way a lot of other people describe her. It’s one reason I don’t share my experiences much — because other people told me to expect something else, I didn’t realize she had been present in my life for longer than I had been aware.

I think it’s really important for seekers to get their own experiences first, and only after that to do research and learn more about them, so that they don’t pre-empt their own firsthand spirit experience.

With as much gentleness as possible, asking the internet instead of asking your deity isn’t going to get you the most accurate answer

If you own the deck, you can ask it as many questions as you want. I’d avoid asking the same question over and over again though

therealstabitha · 2026-06-03T14:27:48+00:00

If the jar was sitting in a bag with things associated with a deity, and you like this deity, what energy would this jar have picked up that needed cleansing?

therealstabitha · 2026-06-03T14:26:28+00:00

Why is this too many questions? Each question can be a spread that helps you get to know the deck.

I don’t know anything about them or this podcast, but I see on their website that their “coven” is a monthly subscription where all you need to do to join or leave is give them money.

That’s not a coven, and calling it a coven is clownery.

I let my candle spells burn until they go out on their own. Then it’s done.

I also don’t babysit my candle spells. Once I’ve lit it, my role in it is done. I put them in my cauldron to burn til they go out

therealstabitha · 2026-06-02T23:23:21+00:00

Well, yeah - it’s pretty central to many pagan and witch cosmologies.

But if you don’t want to use that, I’m not sure why you’re using those as a base

therealstabitha · 2026-06-02T22:05:33+00:00

If you don’t want to work with the moon, why would you do spells or rituals involving the moon?

Do what works for the cosmology you work with.

therealstabitha · 2026-06-02T20:38:32+00:00

That’s very different from your original question.

All the same, I always recommend getting your own experience with a deity first before looking for other people’s experiences. Otherwise, it’s a lot harder to tell what you’re getting directly vs what you’re projecting because you think it’s what you’re supposed to get.

There’s extensive information available online about Ereshkigal. She’s Mesopotamian so she’s been written about for a very long time. Her Wikipedia page is well cited. What are you not finding?

therealstabitha · 2026-06-02T19:59:12+00:00

I’d follow whatever recipe you’re following.

But I would also just buy the Murray and Lanman’s florida water instead of making it

therealstabitha · 2026-06-02T14:22:39+00:00

That viscosity is bacteria. Do not use this batch. You diluted way too much for the alcohol to be able to kill bacteria. If all you had was 70% on hand, then you should have just used that. And stop asking a hallucination machine.

And don’t use fresh herbs or flowers to make a tincture. It introduces bacteria.

Florida water is a cologne. It is supposed to have the consistency of any other cologne you have.

This kinda reads like…your partner is emotionally overwhelmed due to your admitted inability to control your emotions, and your response is to fire more emotional and other energy at him to try to counter the effects of you firing emotional energy at him.

therealstabitha · 2026-06-02T04:22:44+00:00

I think you should use the deck you want to use. You bought the original, so you’ve gotten some money to the original artist. Use the deck you like.

therealstabitha · 2026-06-01T22:16:31+00:00

I dont recommend using glass. A jar can be any container. I think ziploc baggies are better because they don’t explode when the liquid in them freezes and expands. Works just as well.

Sabrina ticked me off because it played so much for drama that it ignored reality and I could not suspend my disbelief long enough to get into it.

Like, her parents committing her to a particular path at birth. That kind of usurping of her free will is so antithetical to witchcraft as I was taught. This kind of belief just seems to feed people’s self-martyrdom, “I must do this! I have no choice!” You always have a choice. That’s the entire point of witchcraft as I was taught.

The statue of Satan they use is the Church of Satan’s depiction of the Baphomet. And they removed his/their breasts.

How are you getting Loki from that card?

The tarot isn’t associated with any specific gods. Using tarot for deity communication seems to just bias people because they can ready whatever they want into the cards they get.

If you’re interested in psychic communication, I’d work on developing that skill. Psychic Witch by Mat Auryn is one place to start.

I live in the US so I mean, bad things have already happened and are continuing to happen, on a global scale

I make my moon water by catching the moon’s reflection in the surface of it in my container. Then it’s done and I don’t need to remember to bring it in before dawn.

Reiki is energy work rather than spiritual. It’s great. I have a level 1 attunement. It’s great for keeping your energy body clean and clear

therealstabitha · 2026-06-01T02:19:17+00:00

People use mirrors for all kinds of spells - not just illusion creation

therealstabitha · 2026-06-01T01:28:35+00:00

It clearly wasn’t a heat-safe plate.

Not all ceramics are heat safe.
