When I talk about spell types, I'm not referring to different spells, as in a protection spell versus an anti-anxiety spell. I'm going to go over the different types of:
Spell Jars Most of what's on this list are going to be self-explanatory, but these types of spells are typically in a glass jar and have ingredients like herbs, flowers, incense, essential oils, and liquids, and are sealed using wax. Spell jars do not actually have to be in glass jars, you can use old medication bottles, empty seasoning bottles, gum containers. These types of spells are meant to last years, decades if needed.
Spell Candles These are typically used for a quicker and more prolonged spell. The bigger the candle the longer it's going to take to burn all the way down. If you want to use something like a tea-light, take the candle and the wick out and place the herbs on the bottom, making sure to burn the candle all the way. You do not need to burn the entire candle all at once to get the effect you desire. Remember, this is a *personal* practice.
Sachets These are fabric pouches, with herbs and typically stuffed with cotton so one may sleep with the satchet. I highly recommend researching your cultures history(ies) with sachets as they all differ and diverge from one another. (It's quite fascinating to see the synchronicities.)
Scroll Spells I mentioned these in a previous post of mine and I've been wanting to discuss these as I don't see many of any one else talk about them. I got the inspiration from Naruto, although if you wanted to you could take inspiration from other pieces of media, from the scrolls used when summoning animals and types of ninja tools. You take a piece of paper, I prefer to use construction paper (use that colour magick!), and write a small ask of what you need and/or what you want, along with a sigil or as many sigils you want! Wrap use the paper and tie a string around it, seal it in wax if you prefer, and Boom you're done! I like to add a small piece of a broken off crystal inside of the drying wax for a bit of extra pizzaz!
A Witch's Box or a Witch's Jar These spells are not-quite all encompassing, these are historically ambiguous as these types of spells are so old, we as humans don't remember what they were once used for. They were typically thought of as a second-body of sorts, as they are tag-locked using urine or hair of that who made it, and spirits and evil-entities would get confused as to where that person's body is, and go after the jar or box.
Charmed Objects These spells are used to charm objects, these can range from your jewelry and make them in something that can protect you, your shoes - to help you go on more adventures, a salt lamp to ward off negative entities, or ornaments/nicknacks around the home to do various tasks. I like to create salt dough, it has protective properties from the salt and creates various shapes - moons, stars, marshmallows - and charming these objects for the associations of these objects.
Petitions These are letters you write or type and print, and set up for manifestations. Sealing the letters in wax definitely help give the vibe of an elder witch practicing.

Phases of the Moon
This is the exact midpoint between waxing and waning phases. the sun and moon are in conjunction.
Its the best time for:
Endeavors, planting sees, setting intentions, and coming up with new ideas
Begins immediately after the new moon until it is full. As the moon is growing, so should your magic.
Its the best time for:
Intention for attraction, love, abundance, success, expansion, creativity, taking action, development and growth
This is the peak of magic potency and is great for almost any kind of magic right before or on the full moon.
Its the best time for:
Psychic enhancement, charging, cleansing, and spells for attraction
This is immediately after the full moon starts to decrease until the new moon.
Its the best time for:
Cleansing or releasing spells, introspection, undoing bindings, breaking bad habits, banishing, balance, success, wisdom and purification
This is when the moon is not visible in the sky (usually 1-3 days). it happens from the end of the waning moon until the starts of the waxing moon.
Its the best time for:
Deep banishing rituals and exploring shadow sides
My Favorite Sunshine Productivity Spell
This may be one of my favorite and most useful spells I've cast. I'm an ADHD witch, with a particular knack for procrastination. Chores were always a bore, and ultimately I knew I wasn't living up to my potential. So I crafted this spell ๐
Designed to be performed under the High Noon Father Sun & the Early Afternoon Warrior Sun, this spell not only brings focus to the task at hand, but makes chores feel more enjoyable.
Soon, you'll find doing chores more fun than playing The Sims 4 (or maybe that's just me...).
Here's what you need:
cinnamon, for success, power & strength
cloves, for a clear mind
sage oil, for mental clarity
rosemary, for wisdom & memory
coffee, for motivation
black pepper, to banish negativity
honey, to sweeten difficult tasks
rice, to absorb excuses
Sun crystals (I like citrine & tigers eye)
a small jar
golden candle
Sun oil, or olive oil
dried orange peel, for happiness
Here's what you do:
Arrange the crystals around the jar before lighting the candle, anointed.
Fill the jar with listed ingredients.
Close the jar and seal with the wax of the golden candle, praying thrice, "Father Sun up above, Lend your light to me. Powers of Productivity are asked of thee. Focus & motivation are what's meant to be."
Charge in the sunlight, or under a Sun charged clear quartz crystal. Shake to activate.
OPTIONAL: Sometimes I like to push my spells into action by sealing them with an action of my own. In this case, if you tackle a project you'd been avoiding right after casting this spell (something relatively easy without too much negative connotation), the magick may get a turbo speed boost -- or at least that was my experience (I sealed my spell by reorganizing my dresser drawers while the jar charged outside).
I hope you enjoy and feel empowered! I'm gonna go out and charge up my jar after posting this.
Cheers,
~ Sage ๐น
โฝ I AM CLEANSED โพ
May you be cleansed, however much you need to be cleansed. May you be cleansed of all burdens that do not belong to you. May you be cleansed of emotions that do not pertain to you. May you know the difference what is your essence and what is tainting it. May you alchemize and let go. May you be cleansed.

1.ย A sudden burst of sunlight, as through broken clouds
I just made my batch for this winter and I thought I'd share this recipe with you!
Good for: Physical Healing, Protection, Divination, Happiness, Love, Creativity, Prophesy, Truth, Solar Deities
Medically: cools and softens skin, helps heal small cuts, burns, irritations, SAD, breaking fever, purifying, anti bacterial, helps relieve anxiety and depression
Grapeseed or sunflower oil
Dried hibiscus
Dried juniper berries
Dried Bay leaves
Dried citrus peel
Dried dandelion root
Rosemary
A cinnamon stick
If you want to add essential oils you can, I didnt for this batch but In the past I've used frankincense, lemon, orange, cinnamon, vetiver, black pepper, sandalwood, and juniper
Best to grind the ingredients before adding them to the oil (except the cinnamon stick)
Makes a great offering for any solar deity like apollo, sol, helios, sekhmet
Let infuse in the sunshine for a few weeks-months depending on how much oil you're making, or if you want it faster & stronger you can heat it up until it turns red from the hibiscus
It smells so good so it's an excellent natural perfume, and it's great for your skin!
I tend to go heavy on the hibiscus and juniper in this but the amounts used are up to you.
Crystal infusions: citrine, garnet, carnelian
The shadow is the darker aspects to our personality.
It is the negative emotions and impulses we experience. It is what we deny about ourselves and what we are truly capable of. Whatever is perceived as inferior or unacceptable will become a part of the shadow. Anything that does not agree with who we project ourselves out to be will dive into this dark, hidden side.
The personal shadow self represents the parts of us we no longer claim to be our own, including positive qualities we have dismissed.
The aspects of who we are and what is thrown away or simply dismissed do not go anywhere. We can deny these qualities for as long as we like to, but they still exist as part of our unconscious.
The unconscious is everything we are not conscious of. Examining and becoming aware of your personal shadow self is discovering what you as a person are actually capable of and accepting it for what it is. There is no way to destroy the shadow self because it is in part pieces to who we truly are on the inside. It stays with us and when any troubling situations happen the shadow is there.

It is important that you do this spell on a sunday morning for it will be more effective. Before doing this spell, ask which deity wants to work with you, if none of the deities listed wants to work with you, work with the deity that you usually work with, or search for other deities that are connected to the sun. Once you know which deity wants to work with you, prepare your alter outside, and put down offerings for them. Make sure to cleanse your space and energy with smoke. Take a bowl, put crystals around the bowl, and then pour water into the bowl, this water will be used to make sun water so make sure its directly under the sun. In the meantime you can bask in the sun, doing so will recharge your energy, and help ease your mind. Once you felt water has been in the sun long enough (make sure its clean!), take your sun water, pour it into a bottle for later. Then take another bottle, place a sticky note onto it, then write down your wish, and the deity's name, this will be the title for your potion. Now its time to make a potion: put a few drops of the sun water into a new bottle, put in flowers, your favorite perfume (or essential oil), body gel, gold or copper highlighter/eyeshadow, and put it into the bottle. Shake the bottle and there you have a magical sun potion! Use this potion only on your body! ๐ซโจ
Benefits of this spell: Glowy sunkissed tan skin, manifest your desired friend group, have a vivacious personality, step into the room and there will be all eyes on you, be a walking god/goddess, be popular and famous, be optimistic and less pessimistic, heals and removes blockages from your solar plexus, calms anxiety, bring in positive vibes, more energy (less tired and lazy), have the inspiration to create art, and better mental health.
for more musically-inclined witches :)
Create a sigil or amulet for intonation
Enchant your cleaning supplies to not only physically clean your instrument, but spiritually cleanse it too
If you use a reed, soak it in moonwater for an extra magical touch
Keep crystals in your instrument case! Personally I use pyrite for confidence + positivity, and hematite for anti-anxiety (feel free to put these on your stand, too)
Write sigils in your sheet music around particularly difficult spots in order to play them with ease
If you work with any music-related deities, maybe keep a necklace or crystal devoted to them in your case
Speaking of deities, perform a song for them! Maybe channel them and do some improv, see what you come up with
Create a musical spell! Compose a piece with your intention in mind and play it to cast it.
Cleanse your space or tools by playing a song
If you can decorate your instrument or case, perhaps add some sigils, runes, or alchemical symbols
Do a spell to motivate you to practiceโฆ lol
