There’s lots of Witchcraft within our modern times that can be done online. Especially mobile. Many people have a phone even if they don’t have a computer. This makes carrying a digital grimoire and/or secret craft a lot easier. Yet there are some, that still struggle with finding some good resources. So this post is made for just that.
Keep in mind that everything is meant primarily for phones, since that’s the most common thread among digital Witchcraft.
Free Apps
⚜️ TimePassages: An app for astrology lovers! It has a moon tracker as well as daily horoscope (if you’re into that) but one of the best features is its extensive and detailed birth chart information. It includes a birth chart wheel and all its aspects. It’s a great source for working with planetary energies within and without the self. It’s an all around great app.
⚜️ Rock Identifier - Stone ID: There are several apps that claim to identify stones and Crystals but this is the highest rated and the one I enjoy the most. It not only identifies the stone but can offer a bit of info on some of the beliefs around that stones energy.
⚜️ About Herbs: This is a wonderful app that doesn’t get enough love. It’s an app that discusses medicinal advantages and disadvantages of various plants. They are presented by the Memorial Sloan Kettering cancer center, and provide links to the research to back up their claims. They also make it clear that they are for informational purposes and not to self diagnose, or self medicate without proper treatments from your doctor. They are a wonderful app for those who prefer herbal medicine.
Web Sites
⚜️ Divination:
Tarot: This website sells their decks but also gives free single card draws for all of them. What’s great about it is that while tarot does have basic meanings they all share, the artwork on each deck plays a significant role in each meaning, making the reading far more unique then the average deck
Runes: A fairly simple and easy to use rune generator. They offer several spreads as well as the history behind the practice and meanings on each rune.
⚜️ Sigil Generators: Each website offers a different style to the sigils they create. Each as well has a downloadable feature for those sigils you make.
Sigil Engine
Psychic Science
Sigil Scribe
⚜️ Digital Altars: Digital altars can play an important role for the TechnoPagan. So these are some makers that you can use to make your own.

Since the movie is still trending, putting out another post for my bowuigi server! Adults only, and so far everyone's built a very lovely and supportive community 💕
I’ve had a few people ask me about how to interact with shadows and darkness. And I found myself thinking of a method I used.
Needed:
Totally dark room
Small table you can sit on the floor in front of
A black candle (any size)
You will be working with elements of fire and shadow (light and dark)
Sit in the floor and light the candle. As the flame rises pay close attention to how it moves. Focus on the movement and dance of that single flame. Let the light fill your senses.
Now out of the corner of your eye look at the interaction of the candle light against the darkness and start looking at the dance of the shadows instead of the dance of the light. Eventually raise your eyes from the candle and stare straight ahead, focusing more on the darkness and the dance of the shadow. Let that darkness start to fill you, replacing the light. You may feel your own internal darkness resonate with the darkness around you. When you do, blow out the candle.
I’m curious for people to try this and share their experiences with me.
**If you try this please message me and tell me of your experience**

Basic Knowledge of the energy body (Subtle Body)
So without further ado lets get started!
How to feel your own energy
How to feel your own energy?- I put this one last because i didn't want anyone to be overwhelmed especially if your just now starting to get into energy work. For some bringing their own energy to the surface and feeling it can come naturally, for some not so much. Some might find it easier to draw energy from outside sources rather than using their own. So whatever the reason may be, we are here to help you in the journey to feel your own energy.
Exercise 1-
Lay down in a comfortable position, or sit in one, which ever is more relaxing for you.
Still your mind. Mindfulness is a wonderful tool, helping bring focus and inner peace. Take big slow breaths, in through your nose and exhaling through your mouth. Do this until you feel your body relax. Allow whatever thoughts that may arise, to come in go, do not heed them much attention.
Then in your mind, will your energy to rise. You can say an affirmation, or focus on your breath. You might start to feel tingly or you may feel very little. It can vary from person to person.
Next, if you feel anything focus on that feeling. What does it feel like? Is it only on part of your body, or all over? Can you direct all to one spot? If so congrats, you are feeling your energy.
Practice this everyday. Energetic awareness is a very important skill to learn, and is used by even the most advanced energy practitioners.
What is Grounding and Centering and how do you go about it?
Grounding- Grounding is a practice that involves and encourages the release of excess energy that does not serve us, by connecting the kind body and spirit with the earth. This exercise is also a great way to replenish energy.
Centering- Centering is the intentional act of bringing your energy back into alignment, bringing balance and focus to your inner self. This is usually done after setting an intention for centering.
Exercises-
Spend time out in nature, barefoot.
Practice mindfulness. Close your eyes, and only focus on your breathing. Allow thoughts to come and go, do not pay them to much attention, Don't fret if this is difficult at first, it will get easier with practice. 5-10 minutes is a good amount of time to start out with daily.
Grounding Meditation Exercise- Sit down anywhere that is comfortable for you, and close your eyes. Take slow deep breaths in and out, calming your body. Once you feel calm enough, visualize, roots coming out of you, connecting to the earth. Visualize them connecting deep beneath the planets surface. Then visualize anything negative you feel about yourself, or anything that is weighing you down, being absorbed into the earth. Continue to do this until you feel satisfied. Thank mother earth for providing assistance.
Black Hole Grounding- One of my favorite exercises is the black hole grounding technique. So what you do is you find a comfortable place, preferably quiet, and relax. Take slow deep breaths, followed by slow exhales. Then Visualize yourself in space, surrounded by stars and planets. You’re just floating there in place. The visualize a black hole above your head. Imagine that all the negative thoughts and feelings or anything else that is troubling you has turned into silver particles of energy that started at the base of your spine and are traveling upwards, escaping through the top of your head into the black hole. Do this until you feel grounded.
Breathwork, such as the 4,7,8 breath. Breath in for 4 counts, hold for 7 counts, and exhale for 8 counts. This helps the vagus nerve, which is responsible for quite a lot in the body. This technique helps calm the body, relieve anxiety and stress, while helping you focus on the present/present task at hand.
Visualization- Close your eyes and visualize a bright warm sun above you. You’re laying in a field of soft grass, surrounded by your favorite plants. A light breeze is blowing through. The sun is shining down its warmth. Now visualize the sun rays flowing through your body, in a bright light. Rejuvenating you, allowing you to feel calm and at peace, your inner self finding balance and focus. Continue to do this until you feel the need to stop.
Movement- Movement such as Dancing, Yoga, Working out, or even a simple walk, no matter the distance can help you center yourself.
What is Breathwork?
Breathwork at the barebones is a technique that has its deep roots in yoga, and is designed to help you release excess anxiety, stress and toxins from the body. The anxiety, stress and toxins are released when you breathe out, and its believed that when you breathe in you’re nourishing your body.
Breathwork Exercises-
4-7-8 Breath- Breathe in for 4 counts, hold your breath for 7, and breathe out for 8 counts.’
Diaphragmatic Breathing-
Lay Down on your back your knees bent, and a pillow underneath your head
Place one hand on your chest, and the other underneath your ribcage
Slowly take a deep breath through the nose, letting your belly expand
Do not move your hands as you slowly exhale through your mouth
Equal Breathing-
Sit down in a comfortable position
Breathe in and out through your nose slowly
Making sure each breath is even, count during your inhale and exhale
Add a comfortable pause after each inhale and exhale
Do this 5 minutes daily
Deep Breathing-
Get into a comfortable standing or sitting position
Deeply inhale through your nose
Retain your breath for 5 Counts (You can do more if you have good lung capacity or feel comfortable doing so)
Slowly release your breath by exhaling through your nose
Resonant/Coherent Breathing-
Inhale for 5 counts, laying, sitting or standing’
Exhale for 5 counts laying, sitting or standing
Repeat for as long as needed (Preferably for a few minutes a day)
What is Warding?- Wards are a type of Magical defense or protection spell cast with the intention to guard against negative energies, entities, or other forms of harm ranging from spiritual, emotional to physical. When casting a ward, it can be used on a person, place, or object. Wards are usually created using different symbols, words, items, rituals or energy. Now you maybe thinking, how do i ward? Or how do i ward if i am a closeted practitioner and im going to show you.
First you need to cleanse or purify your space of any unwanted energies. Some things that are good for this are lavender, lilac, cedar, cumin, dragons blood (my personal fave), garlic, onion, basil and more (Research into herbs for banishment and pick and choose what you feel will work best for you)
Set your intention. Setting your intention is an extremely important, as it allows you steady and focus your mind on the task at hand. It also helps set up the ward for any energies you don't want slipping through.
Choosing your tools! Another important step! It can range from anything really. Sigils, crystals, wands, chalices, athames, a cauldron, your own energy even.
Maintaining your wards is the next step after intention and choosing your tools. This can be done in various ways. Putting water charged with the energy of a celestial body, such as the moon, sun stars etc above and around doorways, and windows, drawing sigils with a specific intent around the doorways and windows, placing crystals at the four corners is another way. Another way is an energetic boundary.
Cleanse and take care of your wards. Charge your crystals, redo the sigils, use more charged water.
Warding with a space with your energy-
Sit in comfortable position
Close your eyes steadying your breath
Will your energy to come to the surface, do not force it. Let it surface on its own.
Visualize your energy expanding outwards with the intention (whatever your intention maybe) surrounding and protecting you and your space.
Do this until you feel the need to stop. Make sure to rest and eat healthy as this ward is tied to you. You are the catalyst the energy source for keeping the ward going. Make sure you are taking time to keep your energy field clean.
What is shielding?- Shielding is a way to protect yourself from psychic, mental or some kind of magical attack. Its creating an energy barrier around yourself, one that people cant penetrate or get past to cause you any harm.
How to Shield yourself-
Get into a calm, preferably quiet environment. Calm your mind and focus
Once this is done there is multiple ways to shield. If you want to use your own energy, will it to the surface. If you are using an outside source, such as the sun, moon, or another celestial body, ask for them to lend their energy.
Once you have gathered up energy, visualize it being weaved together, like a basket, or like a spider weaving a web. Visualize it forming a protective bubble around you, allowing nothing to penetrate it.
Continuing visualizing until you feel the shield is complete. Make sure to check on your shield every so often, as it can wear and tear if the energy is not kept up with.
History of chakras- The chakra system was said to have originated in India sometime between 1500 and 500 BC in the oldest texts called the vedas. Evidence of chakras, spelled cakra, is also found in the Shri Jabala Darshana Upanishad, the Cudamini Upanishad, the Yoga-Shikka Upanishad and the Shandilya Upanishad. According to the author Anodea Judith, who wrote in her book titled the “Wheels of Life” knowledge of the chakra system was said to have been passed down through oral tradition, from the indonesian people to the european people also called Aryan people. The chakra system was traditionally Eastern concept until new age western authors, liked the texts, and appropriating the culture made it more “accessible”
Chakras are small spinning wheels or disks that run along the spine in the human body. The main 7 are the most known ones, but it has been mentioned that there could possibly be up to 114.
Western System- The western system “expanded” upon the Energy centers. These ways are not the ways the chakras were have said to be practiced in ancient times. The western system has also expanded how many energy centers there are in general. The transpersonal energy centers are ones that are believed to lie outside the body, below the feet and above the head. The main 7 energy centers are also commonly used. The western system also practices that each energy center or point has a color. These being the colors of the visible light spectrum. The western system teaches that if you wear a certain color or eat a certain food, or wear a certain crystal that pertains to that energy center or energy centers, that the energy will flow. This system has practices the energy centers can be closed off, or unbalanced.
7 main energy centers
Root
Sacral
Solar Plexus
Heart
Throat
Third Eye
Crown
These are the energy centers that run up and down your spine. The root is said to sit on the bottom or base of the spine, the sacral sitting on the naval, the solar plexus in the diaphragm area below the rib cage but above the belly button, the heart at the center of the chest, the throat in the middle of your throat, the third eye above the brow where the pineal gland sits and the crown is believed the rest on the top of your head.
How to create energy balls- Energy balls are a fun beginner practice and a great way to really feel and shape your own energy (and energy from outside sources) So how do you start?
Start by getting into a comfortable positon where you can relax. Will your energy to the surface (This may take a couple of tries).
When you feel you got a good hold of your energy, visualize it traveling down to your hands.
Once you feel it in your hands, hold your hands together
“Trapping the energy” In between them. Slowly move them apart, and as you do, will it into the shape of a ball. Again this could take multiple attempts and requires focus, so do not be disheartened if at first you don't get it.
Once you have a grasp on your energy ball, take notice of how the energy feels, Does it feel heavy or light? What color is the energy? If you cant tell these things right away, again that is fine.
Toss the energy ball back and forth in your hands. Play around with the energy, and overall just have fun. This is a fun beginner exercise and something that even if you get it on the first attempt should be practiced daily.
What is the Energy body and why is it important?- The energy body is said to be between the physical body and the emotional body, and is composed of 5 layers, going from the “gross” to the most “subtle”. The five bodies are….
The Physical Body
The Energetic Body
The Emotional Body
The Mental Body
The Subtle Body
The energy centers, energy channels (meridians) and the aura all play a key part in the Energetic Anatomy of the body. The 5 bodies alongside the different parts of our energetic anatomy are said to be a key part (especially in holistic energy medicine) of helping us maintain wellness, of the body mind and spirit.
