When I create a layout like this, I like to take a moment with each object to think about the life it lived before it came to be in my possession. Each of these small items have traveled and changed throughout time.
Each of bone was once part of a living creature with its own emotions, needs, dreams, and desires. It had thoughts and experiences, and therefore knowledge.
Each of the small plant specimens once grew and thrived in nature. They played an important role in the ecosystem providing food, oxygen, and shelter for many creatures.
Antiques such as the key and tiny clockwork gear have passed through many different hands before finding a home with me. They have years of stories to tell.
Each of these items are special to me for many reasons. What are some of your favorite treasures? Do they have a story behind them? 🌙🌿

This spell is similar to the one given above and will cause your enemy to have extreme bad luck in all his/her endeavours. Again you will need to obtain a piece of clothing from your enemy, if you cannot acquire a piece of clothing, then try to get anything which belongs to him. On this piece of clothing write hisiher name in block capitals. Take a bowl and put in it some heavily salted water, to this add some pepper and tobacco from a used cigarette. Mix this substance well and over it say: "Demons and spirits of hell, Charge this with your venomous spit. Fill it with the negativity of your realm, Make him suffer slowly, no, not too quick. Take my hatred from whence it spawned, Bad luck is his from dusk to dawn. SO MOTE IT BE.'' Go to the garden and dig a hole, place the piece of clothing in the hole and over it pour the liquid substance. Say: "From this day and hour (name of enemy)'s life will change. Heishe will have no peace till he/she changes ways. Negativity engulfs you and it is what you deserve." Cover the hole. The spell is finished. Book: PRACTICAL MAGICKALEVOCATION M. McGrath

I’ve gotten many, many requests for more information for beginning witches or those who are just curious, and I’ve decided it’s time I start writing and posting such things more often. This article will be (one of) the first in a series where I’ll talk about common beginner issues an techniques for those just starting out, skills that I personally found useful early on, and anything else that comes up. My plan is mostly to write based on questions I receive, and address topics as needed. Here we go.
Today, I’ll be writing about visualization, and I’ll just be explaining the basics as I see them. I recently got a message from someone interested in studying witchcraft who was concerned about how to begin practicing without having to buy things. This is a common sentiment, and I get questions about it a lot. There’s not too many authors who address it, except in passing. The books that do talk about practicing witchcraft without tools often suggest learning to astrally project and creating a sort of sacred space in the astral realm containing all the tools you might need. This never seemed practical to me, as many people who are just starting out won’t necessarily be able to fully project, and heck, even many experienced witches never quite pick up the skill.
A far better approach than trying to astrally project right away would be to study visualization and develop it as a skill. Visualization is the art of manipulating your own imagination in order to create vivid experiences within your own mind. This practice sharpens your intuition and magical acuity. Even many rituals and spells in books (with or without suggesting tools) will call for the witch to visualize, though they may not call it that, and sometimes say “imagine” instead.
It’s perhaps best explained by way of examples, and can take many forms with varying levels of complexity. Sometimes, you might want to visualize something as existing within your physical space. In other words, you would want to strongly imagine it appearing to you as if it were physically in front of you. In one particular ritual I used to perform regularly (it was for banishing), part of it entailed my strongly imagining a pentagram in a particular color left in the wake of my ritual actions. That’s a form of visualization. This may sound like a simple thing, but it does take practice.
After a while, though, I got to the point where yes, I could “see” the pentagrams surrounding me in the ritual, though I knew it was actually a visualization sprung from my imagination rather than a physical object hanging in the air. Techniques like that are pretty common, and they aren’t a new thing - books written in the Victorian era and earlier will often recommend doing this, though the word visualization itself wasn’t often used.
Many witches and magicians incorporate visualization into simple symbol and sigil magick. In the image below, I’ve listed the planetary symbols and associated colors. While many people, when working with symbols, would assume they’d need to carve, draw, or sketch the symbol on a physical talisman or something similar, there are other ways.
One technique using visualization would be to trace the symbol in the air with your finger. You would visualize light in a particular color (of your choice, or relevant in some way) flowing from your fingertips and forming the symbol hanging in the air. The length of time you’ll be able to visualize will likely vary based on how long you’ve practiced, as well as whether there’s anything breaking your concentration. In some settings, I can only “hold” the symbol in my mind for a few seconds before it’s interrupted by something in my environment. Conversely, I can think of a ritual I recently did with a partner that involved visualizing symbols. We did this in a quiet room and with much mental preparation, so I was able to “see” the symbols for much longer than in other situations.
All of that, of course, is going to be done with your eyes open, visualizing objects in your physical space. Things can get pretty interesting if you close your eyes, though! Obviously, you wouldn’t be moving around doing a ritual with closed eyes, but it’s possible to work magick while sitting (or even lying down!) with your eyes closed performing an intense visualization. Some people find this easier than open eye visualization, but for others, it’s the reverse. It just depends on the person.
One mistake I made when learning this type of visualization was trying to make my visuals too complex too quickly, not realizing that these things take time, and complicated, immersive scenes are something that has to develop slowly. One way of beginning is to start with, again, symbols, visualizing them projected on the back of your eyelids.
Simple shapes, like line drawings, are great to begin with, too. Slowly add color and depth, and eventually you’ll be able to build a proper scene inside your mind. This could consist of imagining the workspace you’ve always dreamed of with everything you would need for any kind of spell, but for many witches, the visualization is the spell itself. I find that method more productive than just imagining tools. Experimentation is key, and you’ll find something that works for you, but one common method of using visualization in spellwork would be to visualize the goal of the spell manifesting in an efficacious manner. For example, if I were visualizing as part of a spell to help a friend’s wedding go smoothly with no mishaps or delays, I would visualize exactly that happening.
There is, naturally, a strong connection between visualization and scrying, and usually improving your skills in one will improve your skills in the other. In the image below, I discuss how scrying can often be much more than just seeing images, and that is true of visualization as well - you can experience any sensation or impression via visualization, be it auditory, visual, olfactory, or really anything else.
for those who have Cactus in their house or wish to have one You should keep in mind that there are certain types of Cacti that are better to have outside the house, for example: those types of cacti that are very large and have large spikes. since on the spiritual side spiked plants are generally used for defensive "magic" and in closed spaces this can cause fights and arguments in your home. It is best to have a small cactus with not very large spikes for the interior of your home. I want to clarify that this applies to other types of plants that are also pointed. image:desertgardencare

"A witch who cannot curse cannot heal." -a saying within traditional witchcraft
Have you ever had a spicy meal so hot that no amount of water could stop the burning in your mouth? The idea behind using Hot Peppers in spellcraft is to bring that level of suffering to someone who has done you wrong. Keep in mind when performing this kind of work that regardless of what your enemy did to deserve this there will be a severe negative karmic backlash down the road so before you even consider this kind of spell ask yourself "is it worth it?"
Cayenne Pepper is good for this sort of thing as it's very spicy and easy to find, however if you're looking to inflict way more pain it would be better to use a much hotter Pepper like the Ghost Pepper, Komodo Dragon Pepper or even the legendary Carolina Reaper.
Be sure to always use gloves and eye protection when handling Hot Peppers as they can burn the skin and Heaven help you if you get some of that juice in your eyes. Dried Hot Pepper can be sliced and added to oil recipes while fresh chopped up Hot Peppers can be sewn up inside a poppet designed to represent the enemy. Hot Peppers can also be placed around the base of a curse candle.
Cayenne Pepper has medicinal qualities as a circulation enhancer so if you have issues with blood flow or libido add a little Cayenne Pepper to a couple meals a day to help, just make sure not to eat it on an empty stomach as it will give you a massive case of heartburn.
Cayenne Pepper can also be used to make an ointment that helps with severe arthritis pain. Be warned that the other Hot Peppers mentioned in this segment are extremely dangerous to anyone who hasn't built up a resistance to spicy foods. Hot Peppers are associated with the element of fire, the astrological sign of Aries and the planet Mars. (Image from Unsplash.com)
NORDRI, SUDRI, AUSTRI AND VESTRI
In Norse mythology, Norðri, Suðri, Austri, and Vestri (North, South, East, and West) were four dwarves mentioned in Gylfaginning in the Prose Edda. Each of these dwarves held one of the four compass directions. Together, they held up the vault of heaven, created from the skull of the primeval jotun Ymir. They probably also represented the four winds, thus corresponding to the four deer of the cosmic tree Dáinn, Dvalinn, Duneyrr and Duraþrór, which grazed under the branches of Yggdrasil. The myth is comparable to that of the four giants who personified the four winds in Greek mythology
