An Easy Spell for Healing and Moving Forward

Disclaimer: If you are healing from serious trauma, please use this spell only as a supplemental tool for professional treatment. If you are on any sort of medication, do not use this spell as a replacement.

What You Will Need:

An Apple (for cleansing away negativity)

A Knife

A Sigil in Mind for Healing

Directions:

Use your knife to carve your sigil into the surface of the apple. I used one of my own: x

Once you have carved your sigil into the apple, begin to eat the apple. As you eat, think of the thing that has hurt you that you want to move past. Focus on how moving forward will improve your life.

As you chew the apple, imagine you are crushing that thing that is bothering you. When you swallow, know that you are taking in the healing properties of both the apple and the sigil.

Don't rush it! Take your time and try to eat as close to the core as possible before throwing the apple (and that thing holding you back from healing) away.

✨ H𝕠𝕨 𝕥𝕠 C𝕣𝕖𝕒𝕥𝕖 𝕒 S𝕚𝕘𝕚𝕝 ✨⁣ I wanted to share this method as it’s an easy way you can create your own sigils that are infused with intention and power. That being said, this is not the only method out there. There are many other ways to make your own magickal sigils and symbols and the best thing is to find the one (or ones) that work for you and your Craft.

For this method, the picture breaks this process down into four simple steps. Here is a protection sigil I recently made to show you the steps. ⁣ • First write down the purpose for the sigil you want to make, you can make this as detailed as you want. The more you write, the larger and more detailed the sigil will be when it’s finished. ⁣ ⁣ • Secondly, write out the letters remaining after you’ve removed the vowels and any repeated letters. ⁣ ⁣ • Thirdly, break these letters down even further into simple shapes and lines. ⁣ ⁣ • The last step is to rearrange these simplified shapes and lines into one complete design which will be your finished sigil, charged with your specific intent.

This sigil can then be used in a number of magickal ways for example a protection sigil can be written on ourselves or the front door of your house and a sigil for increased wealth can be written on a piece of paper and kept in your wallet. ⁣ ⁣ Be creative! Sigils can be used in so many ways effective ways ✨⁣

Oh god my bank account

Must have books for witches

(Read at your own risk, I recommend researching the authors before buying or downloading if you don’t want to support their work. Take the information in this book with a grain of salt and double check with another source you trust)

Hello, last time I posted about a book a lot of people liked it so I decided to bring 2 more… Both are one of my favorite books and I find myself checking them all the time. The info in both is very useful for those who are just starting out, I know it’s often overwhelming you don’t know where to start when you want to cast a spell but the correspondence book I think solves that problem as it gives you a table of correspondences for each intention, crystal, some basic plants, deities etc….

As for the second book, Encyclopedia of Herbs, I have used it since I started practicing many years ago. We always find the same herbs in tumblr posts (basil, rosemary, sage….) but many times we don’t have access to those types of herbs so this book was very useful for me to work and familiarize myself with the plants that I could find in my region

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

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.

Screaming today. 🖤

Easy protections you can do in literally 5 minutes:

Take a tea light out of its holder and put lemon pepper in the bottom. Burn it.

Draw a pentacle, Algiz, or some other protective symbol on a white tea light. Burn it.

Write “[your name] is protected” on a bay leaf and burn it.

Drink coffee with intent.

Draw protective symbols on your windows with moon water and black salt (salt and pepper if you don’t have black salt).

Scream.

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

●Symbolism of Feathers●

I'm going to outline the associations of feathers from different birds and then feathers of different colors (because not everyone can identify feathers).

Type of Birds

Blue Jay: protect family at all costs

Blackbirds (Crow, Raven): magic, mystery, intuition

Ibis: directly connected to the Egyptian god of wisdom and writing, Thoth

Seagull: humor, silliness, wise use of resources

Cardinal: vitality, life, power

Parrot: awareness of surroundings, healing through color therapy

Dove and Pigeon: peace, love, family

Mockingbird: sing your song, be your unique self

Owl: magic, intuition, developing psychic awareness, seeing in the dark

Hawk: connect with spirit, stay focused, fly high

Color of Feather

White: a sign from an angel, or a recently passed loved one

Black: a call to spiritual action or self exploration

Red: passion or love to come

Gray: a time of peace is coming

Blue: communication, peace, protection

Brown: home life, reminds us of the importance of grounding

Warding

I've covered warding recently in my protection post. But here I will go into more detail on what warding is, the most popular ways to ward and how to create them as well as when to know when a ward is no longer useful or has been broken. I will also go into baneful warding and what it is.

What is warding?

Warding is a form of defensive magick which acts as your first line of defense against negativity. Be this baneful magick from another practitioner or negative entities and general negative energy. There are multiple ways to ward with each practitioner warding differently to the other. Wards come in all shapes and forms, and there is no limit as to how much warding you should do, you protect yourself as you see fit.

What is baneful warding?

Baneful warding is a form of warding in which the negative that hits a ward gets sent back to its source. Baneful warding is seen as a more "advanced" form of magick, however not too advanced for a novice to do with the appropriate amount of research. Baneful warding can come in the same forms as normal warding would.

Warding jars

Perhaps one of the most common wardings on this post, warding jats usually contain ingredients charged with the intention of warding. These ingredients usually range from herbs to bodily fluids such as saliva or blood. These jars are either buried on the practitioners property, left above entryway, left on an altar, or are carried with the practitioner when they want protection on the go.

A warding jar might contain: ashes of a warding sigil, bodily fluids, herbs and plants, crystals, bones, warding or protection oils, spices, metals, glass shards etc. These jars are then sealed with black or white wax (or are sealed in any other way, with glue, tape or simply just with intention).

When a warding jar is broken, you might find the contents of the jar to become moldy, the jar shatters, the seal might break or the contents of the jar to go off, you also might feel that the jar no longer has its power. When this happens, if the jar is intact, break the seal and empty the contents into the bin/trash or return them back to the earth. You can then cleanse the jar with your preferred method of cleansing and reuse the jar for another ward or spell.

Talismans and symbols

Talismans are objects which are charged with the intention fo protection or warding. A well known example would be the Nazar, known to ward off the evil eye.

Symbols are used to represent something or represent an intention example would be the pentacle/pentagram, a well known protection symbol. Another example could by the Eye of Horus, a symbol used by the Ancient Egyptians for protection, health and restoration.

You can create your own talismans and symbols to aid in warding. These might be used to ward against a specific thing, or can be used as a general ward to all negativity.

A talisman or symbol might break or feel like they're no longer useful once theyve done thier job. If this time comes, you can simply dispose of the old one and create a new one.

Sigils

Sigils are created and can be programmed with any purpose necessary. May this be warding ot cursing, they can be used for almost any working.

Sigils can be burnt to activate them, with the ashes being used in spells to add extra power. Sigils can be put up around your house or around your room for warding. These sigils can look like anything, simply draw them with the intention of warding.

Crystals

Crystals can be placed above entryways or in windows to act as a ward. Crystals can also be added to spells to give a desired effect or worn as jewellery to act as warding or protection on the go.

Some examples are: black obsidian, black tourmaline, clear quartz, amethyst, hematite.

When a crystal ward has been broken, the crystal might shatter, or go missing. Or you may feel the crystals energy feels different than usual. With crystals you cam simply cleanse and recharge the crystals to be used again!

Spells

Warding spells can be as simple as a dressed candle, or can be a complex ritual. Warding spells differ from practitioner to practitioner. Similar to warding jars, these spells might include the use of herbs, bodily fluids, crystals, plants etc. The methods of creating a warding spell vary, as there is no one way to create one.

When a ward breaks down, you might feel the ward break, or if it does what is intended, you might feel something bounce off the ward. Depending on the negativity sent your way, the ways in which you might feel a warding spell break down vary, this could range from feeling sluggish or nauseous to downright feeling psychic attack. (Whenever this happens, please consult a doctor, mundane before magical. What you may feel is a magical occurrence could be explained by illness, so please consult a doctor of you feel this way constantly)

Warding is a great form of protection which is used very often in a persons practice. While not all practitioners use warding, this is just to inform you of the ways you can ward to keep yourself safe in your practice!

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 :)

Magickal Bong Rips

I decided to make my toking into more of a ritual. I find if I’m bored or depressed when I smoke, the pot just amplifies it - and same for positive emotions like creativity & relaxation. To get more into the habit of smoking mindfully and with purpose, I’ve created a little magickal bong ritual.  Need:  Bong Ground, dried cannabis  Intent  Crystal that matches intent  1L purified water bottle 500mL Jar  Candle (optional) Incense (optional) Clean your space. Actually clean it. Get your shit done and your room clean so you can receive clear energy and not have to worry about cleaning later! Cleanse your space & body with your preferred method (I use palo santo).  Sit down and think about the reason you want to smoke. Do you need physical healing? Do you want to connect with an element or deity? Unleash your creativity? Create intent out of reason. If it’s “I’m bored” or “I’m anxious”, I usually think twice.   Set up your altar and space, and ready anything you’ll need after smoking.  Are you doing a ritual? Art? Tarot? Magickal study? Set it up.  (I find it makes me anxious when I’m high and can’t find my tools.) Find a crystal that matches your intent. My intent was to enhance self-love and self-care, so I chose Rose Quartz. Make sure it is a crystal that won’t degrade in water, like Selenite. (Edit: Also do your research!! Some crystals aren’t meant to be ingested - like Malachite! Look up “indirect method” for gem elixir brewing for more info!)  Run the crystal under cold water to clean any dirt and negative energies. Ground yourself and sit with your crystal. Cleanse it with your preferred method. Hold it in your hands and feel it’s vibration or energy beats, if you can. Visualize a pulsing, white light coming from the crystal centre, growing and slowly enveloping your entire body. Focus on receiving pure crystal energy. Focus again on the crystal and now imagine your intent piercing and filling the crystal. Sit with it until ready, and put it in the empty jar. Cover with spring water. Hold the jar of spring water and crystal and once more, focus your intention. Drink the remaining water to stay hydrated!   Leave it on the windowsill in the sunlight for 20 minutes up to as long as a whole day. I usually let it sit a couple hours and do other work in the meantime.  I like to burn an incense that matches my intent, like Frankincense - purity, healing, spiritual connection. This is your interaction with Air.  I also like to burn a candle for a Fire connection. I imagine my intent dancing in its flame and motivating me.  Clean your piece! Name your piece. Connect with it. Feel it. Get to know it. Charge your pieces by running them under cold water and focusing on positive intent & good, healing energies. Use coarse salt and vinegar to clean any gunk, second shake with just salt and water, concentrating on purification. And finally,  run clear, cool water through it a while, appreciating the Water element and its healing powers.  Let your glass friend dry, and grab your weed. Look at the nug. This is your Earth connection. What does it smell like? Look like? What does the name remind you of? What do you hope to get from it? Get to know what you are putting in your body, and how it will benefit you.  Set the nug on, next to, or in a small container with a clear quartz crystal. Leave it near the charging water on the window sill to cleanse any impurities or negatives, until you’re ready to smoke. 

When you feel they are charged, grab the water and pot and return to your magickal space. Sit and ground yourself, connecting with the earth. Focus on your intent. Mindfully assemble your bong. Before toking, pause. Breathe.  Bring the flame to the bowl and focus on the Fire energy igniting the Earth’s cannabis, connecting with Water and manifesting your intent with Air. Make every part of it a mindful experience - the flick of the lighter, the sizzle of the embered pot, the bubbling of the crystal-infused water, and the feeling of the magickal smoke filling your lungs with your intent, and sending it out into the world. After your exhale, pause, and focus on this feeling.  Remember to breathe, be still, and notice.  You are now magickally high.
