Bedridden Witch – Ocean Edition

As someone who both practices witchcraft and is chronically ill, I find it important to be able to practice my craft even when I’m physically restricted, such as being bedridden. I hope this list inspires you to practice the craft in a way that fits your lifestyle ❤

• Burn sea/beach scented candles.
• Listen to background sounds like waves or the wind.
• Make macrame strands that have glass beads or sea glass in them.
• SEA. SALT. Just keep a jar of sea salt around for any of your needs and to feel connected!
• Make a simple salt water spray to cleanse your space. 
• Create an altar/shelf dedicated to the sea.
• Keep beach and ocean themed pictures, paintings and postcards around your room. 
• Make a sand garden.
• Hold a glass of water on your hands, and focus on how the water is/has been connected to the ocean.
• Create a sideblog for all your ocean needs. Can double as an altar!
• Keep a collection of sea shells and invest in a shell field guide!
• Watch ocean documentaries.
• Keep crystals like opal, quartz, selenite, blue calcite, ocean jasper, and labradorite around.
• Create a bottle filled with things that remind you of the ocean. 
• Write/read poetry about the sea.
• I really like using ocean waves as a way to clear my mind when I need to calm down/start meditating. Use meditation to connect to the ocean!
• Hang flowing curtains from the ceiling – light turquoise and white.
• Learn about the lore and mythology related around the ocean. 
• Whisper sweet nothing towards the sea – it doesn’t matter how far away it is!
• The moon phases directly interact with the ocean. Keep track of them!
• Draw sigils designed to connect you to the ocean. 
• Get a little fish tank (only if this feels manageable to you of course!) and keep it in your room.
• Decorate with beach/seaside decor – rustic wood, shells, blown glass, etc.
• Connect with any deities of the ocean/sea (for me that includes Amphitrite, Poseidon and Ceto).
• Make/wear seashell or pearl jewelry.
• Listen to music that makes you feel like you’re standing in front of the ocean.
• When it’s windy or downpour rain, allow it to take you to the sea. Feel the raw energy. Open the window a crack if you can!
