Crafting Magic: Exploring The Basics Of Spell Structure

witchy ways to help with depression!

depression and mental illnesses can be hard to deal with, i hope that what i've shared can help!

1. if you don't have enough energy to get out of bed, research witchcraft and write it down! it doesn't have to be on paper, your notes work just as well. :)

2. charge your drink! put your water (or whatever your drinking) under the sun or moon light. you can also leave certain crystals or draw a sigil on the glass/cap.

3. light candles/incense. cleanse your room of any negative energies.

4. probably on literally any 'ways to fight depression' but open your curtains! open the windows and let the breeze take away the negative energy.

5. connect with nature and go for a walk! it could just be in your backyard but please be grateful of how pretty nature is. :D

6. (my personal favorite) open your door, listen to loud angry music (optional), and yell "GET OUT > :<". maybe light some candles, sweep or vacuum the floor while keeping in mind what you want to banish.

7. keep crystals on your nightstand/under your pillow. (amethyst works well for good sleep!)

8. if you have access to herbs and a little bag/container, keep some rosemary in your pocket! it helps with good health, purification, cleansing, and preventing nightmares :)

9. use knot magic while tying your shoes, a bow, or headbands!

10. if your feeling a little bit better today, make a sigil, do a simple protection spell, or meditate.

11. put a protection sigil on your door to ward off evil and bad energies!

12. for a simple manifestation, write an affirmation on a bay leaf and burn it.

13. if you remember your dreams, start a dream journal! even if you only recall the slightest details, its still good to write it down.

14. if your up to it, connect yourself with the elements every day. [some examples: walk barefoot: earth, take a bath/shower: water, light a candle: fire, singing: air]

again, i hope these will help you through your days! sometimes i feel down too and struggle with even getting out of bed. though i don't know you i hope you get through your struggles! please make sure to take time to yourself, drink water, eat some ramen, maybe even sleep a little earlier than usual. have a good day :)

Tips for baby witches, lazy witches, tired witches, or any witch really:

Enchant your morning cup of tea/coffee*

Match the colours of your makeup to your intentions for the day

Visualise the water washing away all the negativity when you shower

Enchant your nail polish (bonus: match the colour to the intention, black for protection, red for love, green for prosperity, etc)

Say your affirmations (for clear skin, fading scars, reducing dullness, etc) when doing your skincare

Charge your perfume with the energy you wish to attract

When tying your shoes, visualise them symbolically protecting you from tripping and “falling” into places and situations that disturb your peace

Use music to your advantage, listen to songs that match your intentions, or alternatively, use music as a tool for divination

Some witches veil to keep their energy from draining and to protect them from others’ emotions, but a beanie works too

If you wear glasses, use them as a tool so that they help you “see clearly”

Put your moisturiser on in the shape of a sigil before massaging it in

Child’s pose is always there for you, use it when you need it (alleviates stress and anxiety, helps clear the mind, releases tension in the back, helps to steady breathing, is overall great for grounding, etc)

Visualise the A+ (on your report card/on the paper after it’s been graded/etc) right before beginning to solve your test/exam, it also helps if you can draw a sigil somewhere on the paper, or trace it on the paper with your finger

When shaving, visualise any energy buildup being shaved off as well

If you play the guitar, draw a sigil on your plectrum/pick for an added boost (this works with other instruments too)

Do not litter out of respect for nature and its spirits

Feel free to add more things onto the list

When you’re just starting out, or even when you’re just too drained to practice your craft like you used to, it can feel like there isn’t enough magic in your life. This is your daily reminder that a lot of the time, the only difference between routine and magick is intent.

*I have been informed that the first link is now private. I will not be changing it, but here is my go-to method for enchanting tea. Stir clockwise to manifest/invite, and counterclockwise to banish/repel. Tap the spoon (or whatever it is that you’re using) thrice against the rim of the cup to seal in the intention.

This is perfect, makes me want to break out the ol pot and beans again!

Magical Correspondences of Coffee

I recently accepted the fact that I have a lactose aversion, which saddens me because I slam milk like it's the 90's. The stabbing abdominal pain and jank ass bowel movements outweigh the weird satisfaction I get from cow milk.

On a vaguely related note, milk/cream is something that one might put in coffee, and is associated with nurturing, power and protection. Think of your coffee cup as a cauldron, and the coffee is the base liquid, the things you add to it can be charged with magical intent and that magic will follow you through your whole day.

Here's some popular coffee additives and their correspondences:

Coffee: stimulant, great for energy work and cleansing

Sugar: love, purification, attraction

Honey/Maple/Syrups: binding, attraction, love

Milk/Cream: nurturing, power, protection

Soy Milk: protection, job success

Coconut Milk: protection, cleansing

Oat Milk: grounding, prosperity, wealth

Almond Milk: prosperity, healing, wealth, wisdom

Vanilla: happiness, love, good fortune

Add some of these to your coffee, stir with intent, and watch how it effects your day. Happy casting

“I Am Reborn”

Use this sigil during a time of reinventing yourself. When you’re trying to change yourself for the better, shedding an old toxic part of yourself, draw this sigil on paper, meditate with it and reflect on the part of you you are letting go of, and then burn it during the full moon.

Yeowr

Things I've learned so far in my witchcraft practice:

Your intuition is your best friend; better to be wrong and safe than right and silent.

Your digestion knows when something is off.

Not everyone has to believe you, and not everyone is worth telling.

Divination is here to guide you, not to define you.

Protection. Cleansing. Protection. Cleansing. Protection. Clea—

When you get in your own head, you get in your own way.

Magick is science, psychology, intention, and unknowns.

Tools are only focuses; you are all you need.

There is energy in everything; atoms are moving all around us, each working together to keep the universe from unravelling. How bold of us to assume we aren't able to witness that energy.

Ask for permission, not forgiveness; your sister may forgive, but the earth may not.

Even if this is all bullshit (it isn't, in my experience), it's fun, and laughter is the best medicine.

Aloe for burns and antibiotics for infections.

"Let other men go to war; Protesilaus must love."

You don't owe your time, energy, or resources to anyone else, but sharing is often rewarding.

Some information is too valuable to give away; charge for the things you cherish; keep the things you need.

Be respectful of everything. I mean everything.

Research, research, research!

Sometimes the aesthetic is half the fun.

Your blood, your bones, your sweat, your tears; they are all deeply a part of you so long as you're tied to your body. They belong to you for a while, but they're on loan; use them wisely.

Know your present place; know your potential; they are not the same thing.

“I Know What I Want”

During times of unsureness try meditating or sleeping with this sigil near your head

Perhaps draw it on your forehead or chest (over your heart) with something easy to wash off

you can use this spell on every jewelry you have whether it is silver, other metals, plastic, etc.

what you need + correspondences:
