SIGILS

A sigil is a type of symbol used in magick. The term has usually referred to a type of pictorial signature of a deity or spirit. In modern usage, especially in the context of chaos magic, sigil refers to a symbolic representation of the practitioner's desired outcome.

basically a form of art in a way in which inscribed or painted symbols are considered to have magical powers

I personally don't fully burn them to activate them ; I just burn the edges but sometimes I burn the whole thing so yeah lol.

you can always get more creative ;3

Time Is Valuable, If You're Allowed To Spend It The Way You Want To.

1.  area(s) that you’ve been neglecting in your craft 2.  how you can work towards to getting on track again 3. what you need to work on moving forward 4. extra advice 

Storm Protection Spell

With the stormy weather coming to the Texas/Oklahoma/Arkansas in the next few days, I decided to work on a storm protection spell to ease my mind. I hope this is useful for y'all!

materials:

jar (i recommend a jar that’s more short-and-wide, as opposed to tall-and-narrow).

blue candle, to represent water

yellow candle, to represent thunder and lightning

black candle, to absorb damage

white candle, to represent heavy winds

dirt from your home, to represent stability

a print-out of your home, or address written on a piece of paper, or anything else to represent your home (in my case, i used a flower that matches the name of my street)

something to tie into knots - twine, a small piece of rope, thread, etc (something small enough to fit into your jar)

instructions:

1. cleanse your space/your materials; meditate on your intentions; open your circle — just prep for your spell work however you typically prep.

2. arrange your area like so:

the idea is to make your space mimic the symbol for air (🜁)

3. place the dirt in the bottom of your jar. on top of it, place the item(s) that represent your home.

4. next, you’ll light your blue candle. imagine the water from a rainstorm pouring down all around you. imagine the sound and smell of the rain.

5. next, light the yellow candle. imagine the bright flashes of lightning, followed by the booming thunder that accompanies it.

6. next, you’ll light your white candle — imagine the howling winds, whipping all around you and making your house creak.

7. now, you’ll take your rope, and knot it three times, saying with each knot: “You are bound from wrecking devastation. Let there be no hesitation in turning your force away.”

8. drop the rope in your jar, saying: “Danger be contained that my beloved home may be unscathed until this peril passes.”

9. close your jar tightly. now, take your black candle, light it, and allow a few drops of wax to fall on the jar. place the candle on top of your jar, and allow all the candles to burn through. if you’d like, you can meditate during this point and imagine all the elements (water, thunder, and the wind) around your home, with the black candle absorbing all the damage and negativity.

10. after the candles have burnt out, place the jar somewhere dark and secure (like a closet or bathroom cabinet) until the storm has passed.

11. after the storm has passed, take your jar, open it back up, and place it in the sun for 3 days, allowing the sun to "dry up all the rain". after the 3 days, you may discard what’s inside the jar and re-purpose it (i recommend using it to store some kind of water — moon water, sun water, rain water, snow water, etc!)

notes:

you can also use this spell to help friends or family that may be dealing with inclement weather — simply replace the “my beloved home” line with “Friend’s name’s home”, or “city/state/general area”.

take your spell to the next level by dressing your black candle with mistletoe oil, crushed bay leaves, and cedar.

Super Casual Mini Spells

Need to fall back in love with your craft? If I’ve learned anything, it’s the little moments that count. Learning to make small, everyday things magical is an art all witches can benefit from. Not to mention, being on tumblr often surrounds users with elaborate, expensive altars which, while totally fine, aren’t always realistic.

 Making everyday activites a part of your craft is incredibly helpful for:

   - getting back into witchcraft after a long break or hiatus

   - beginners who don’t feel ready for a formal spell

   - witches with mental disabilities who don’t have the energy for a formal spell  but still want to continue their practive

    - anyone!!! literally anyone!! everyone !!!!!

Here’s some ideas I had! Feel free to add yours on too :)

  much love, @nature-is-punk

Casual Kitchen Spells

-Stir your coffee/tea to the right on days you want a boost of extrovertedness, bravery, and confidence.

-Stir your coffee/tea to the left on days you want to focus on yourself. I like to do this before I paint or take a test!

-Envision your goals and wants each day as you make breakfast. Even if it’s just you pouring cereal and picturing an A on that test, it’s a small bit of mindfullness that can make a big difference.

-Mumble or just think of a sentence or two to serve as a little spell, repeating it three times. Then take three bites/sips to cast it! Bonus points if the food you’re eating coordinates with the spell - i.e,  eggs for new growth

-Eating oatmeal? Draw sigils with your spoon!

-My mom always said it was good luck to kiss the tea bag before you brew it…Not sure about this one, but might as well!

Casual Bedroom + Bathroom Spells

-Coordinate the colors you wear with your want for the day! Personally, my favorite way to do this is with underwear and socks, since I don’t exactly fancy wearn head to toe orange on days I want to be a bit more positive.

-Leave a few second pause before your feet first touch the ground in the morning, let yourself just have a little moment to dedicate your renewed energy before taking your first steps.

Make sigils with your:

Moisturizer

Foundation

Lip Balm

Sunscreen

-Each time you run the brush through your hair, repeat a little spell for personal growth and health! Clean your brush frequently so there is no old hair and ‘old energy’ adulterating the spell.

-Envision anything negative or toxic in your life being scraped off your skin each time you wash your hands.

-Shower magic is the absolute BEST! Enchant all your soaps so each wash gives you a little boost!

Casual Workplace Spells

-Draw sigils with your eraser on your assignments, portfolio, resume, etc.,

-Consistently churning out sub-par work? Try washing your pens off in the bathroom sink, imagining the water cleansing any sluggish energy. If anyone asks, you were eating something sticky and it got on your pens.

-When going up or down stairs, stick to the right side to attract new friends and maintain confidence.

Stick to the left side to focus on your own path and self.

Casual Misc. Spells

-If walking down the street a distance, come up with a little spell chant. Each step, say a word or piece of the spell.

-Enchanting your shoes - basic, but a must have. I have each of my shoes echanted for the places I generally wear them to–my heels are specialized for beauty and confidence, while my everyday sneakers for resilience and positivity.

- Find a spider in the house? Get a cup, and as you take it outside, explain to it that you could have easily killed it because it was in your home, but you benevolently let him go! Ask a question–the spider will answer within 7 days! Be on the lookout for signs.

             - This only works with spiders you find in your house! Not outside.

Always be on the lookout for tiny signs. Finding the magic in little things is important.
