So I took my own idea and tried out an acorn charm! I’m an empath, so I made this one to help me stay grounded when surrounded by people!!
Ingredients:
(1) acorn, any size – associated with success, luck, and wishes.
(1) drill with a small bit.
(1) Xacto knife.
Assorted gem chips and herbs associated with your intent – I used amethyst, tiger’s eye, quartz, citrine, and carnelian for gems; marjoram, mint leaf, and lemon grass for herb.
Glue.
Prep: Gently remove the cap from the acorn. Using a drill or knife, carefully hollow out the center of the acorn, aka the nut. Use an xacto knife or similar to scoop out the rest of the nut (as a discord friend informed me, this part of the acorn is soft and will rot over time, so make sure you get all of it!!!).
Stuff your now hollow acorn with your herb and gem chips while focusing on your intent. Allow the energy to flow for as long as you feel necessary. Apply your glue to the inside of the acorn’s cap and press it gently back onto the top. Imagine it “sealing” your intent inside. Leave the glue to dry.
Casting: Once dry, charge or activate the charm as you normally would. Done!
I’m excited to try out these charms this fall!!! In theory, they should be easy to make, concealable in travel alters, bags, pockets, or worn as jewelry, and safe to dispose of if you like to bury your charms in nature.
Feel free to use and let me know if they work out for you!!
Affects: changes in relationships and personal values (positive or negative depending on the situation), need for balance and moderation, harmony, balancing the messages of the heart and the mind, indecisiveness, forces requiring you to socialize and cooperate more with others, an urge buy beauty/creativity related items, cravings for sweets, lower back / lumbar region pains, feeling more open about feelings you once kept hidden, reflection on partnerships and friendships, exes and estranged friends popping up
What It’s Good For: examining your relationship with yourself and with others, balancing your wants and needs, legal affairs, signing documents / papers relating to cooperation and relationships, romance, beauty-related activities and spending, making amends, balancing social life with practical life, solving issues in relationships by listening to all sides and compromising, awareness of yourself and how you treat others, creative activities, clearing out toxic people, decorating, getting a make-over, making peace with others, setting intentions and manifesting things that deal with Libra-related matters (beauty, relationships, peace, justice, creativity, finances)
With the new moon in Libra approaching during this Venus Retrograde season, it is the most crucial time to let go of relationships that do not serve you; toxic lovers, negative friends, even the pessimistic ideals you may have of yourself.. All must be let go and washed away so that you can heal, grow stronger, and begin again. Think about the people in your life.. Who has been draining the light out of you? Who has been helping to pour that light back into you? Cherish the ones who lift you up and say goodbye to the ones that break you down. The main message is to start treating yourself and others better.
