ok maybe this is kind of a stupid question, but do you have any advice for researching and how to determine if the witchcraft information youre reading is valid? like i know the whole look up other resources about that to compare, but like if they do say different things how do i know which is right? or if either is right? (its probably a common sense answer and ive just worked myself up too much to figure it out 😅) but like any advice or tips you have for researching would be appreciated!

I was just thinking hm how have I not got any anons in days? That's a shame and here you are with a spectacular question! I've been waiting for this one.

Best tip, think critically and ask yourself questions like:

What are the qualifications, motives and biases of the person giving me this information?

Who recommended this source?

Is anything they're implying or advising here a threat to my or someone else's safety or health?

Does this line up with other things I know to be true? Like science, other factors about witchcraft, your beliefs, ect. Beliefs won't dictate fact but often in witchcraft personal belief is the only thing that will sway you towards one answer or another.

Does it make sense? Like logically does it make sense to you?

Why? Just ask yourself why. Ask them why. Ask them for sources or an explanation.

Have I seen someone say this before? How often? Apply the above questions to that source(s) as well.

Here are all my other general research tips:

Take time to take things with a grain of salt. Try not to categorize them as right or wrong until you're absolutely sure. Take time to dive into topics, there's no rush.

Understand that many things are up to personal belief and for many questions the answer will be "Depends on the witch." Both answers might be correct.

Cross reference everything you find. The answer you see the most is likely right.

Check out the library.

Use books that aren't marketed as being about witchcraft or the occult. Folklore, local flora and fauna, nature, botany, gardening, foraging, geology, these are all useful subjects. 

Don't worry about making a fancy grimoire or book of shadows or having all the correspondences in the world written out. That's the least of your worries, take notes on the essentials and things that interest you personally. Some things to include are the subject, date & source of what you're reading.

Ask real, experienced witches. Do not rely on them as your soul mentor and ideally and contact multiple witches or groups.

Let's use an example for your issue, so you can see how these will apply. Let's say you're looking into cursing and you see someone say no witches curse because of the rule of three. If you keep looking and talk to real witches you will soon come across witches who curse and such. Witches who don't believe in the rule of three. How is that logical if the rule of three is always right? If you question that person's influences, you will find their motive is pushing a belief on someone, and not your best interests. If you ask that and they had your best interests at heart they would say some witches curse and some don't and that any personal choice in relation to that is valid. So you see then you've identified their motive, and you know you can decide to curse or not to curse. Let's use another example because although the whole "depends on the witch" thing is often the answer sometimes but it's not. New example, let's say you're looking into opening your witchy senses. Intuition, sensitivity, that kind of stuff. You see someone say that taking medication like anti depressants is going to dull that. It's going to dull all your spiritual senses. You might want to say that that's just the person's belief, and you can decide, because that's so often what is true. Let me tell you why it's not though, refer to the above. That person once again does not have your best interests at heart, what they're saying does not line up with other things you know to be true, like science, or professional medical advice. It is also a threat to your safety and well being. Objectively wrong and harmful. The difference with the above is it's not harmful as long as they don't push the idea, just personal preference. Cross reference like you mentioned, the answer you see the most is likely right. Be sure to follow the tips above. Sometimes it just takes time and you will look back with more information and experience and the answer will be clear. Ask yourself questions. Talk to real life witches. You'll figure it out. Good luck on your path 💖

The Witch Ball

This is a rewrite of one of my first posts.

One of my favorite ways of warding the home is with a traditional glass witch ball. There are many kinds of witch balls, but here I am referring to the blown glass variety. Many witches will fill an empty Christmas ornament with herbs or nails or something and use it as a spell. Very crafty. But my preferred variety of witch ball is the blown glass sort with threads of glass in the middle.

These were traditionally made by glassblowers as a way of ending their work day. They were historically made from scraps of glass, which is why so many of them are multicolored. They’re simple blown glass balls with threads of glass in the center, made by sticking metal objects (such as knitting needles) in the still-molten glass ball. The witch ball is placed near a window or a door, usually on a cord made of knotted rope or leather. The wise homemaker cleans her witch ball regularly, as this cleans it of dark spirits.

The witch ball may be descended from glass fishing floats, which are often sold in seaside tourist towns as decorative gifts. The first glass witch balls were most likely developed in England in the 17th or 18th Century and were inspired by these glass buoys.

According to popular belief, the witch ball represents the witch who has been tried and hanged. A witch ball will float in water, like a witch thrown in a body of water during a trial. It was believed that witches were rejected by bodies of water because they were too impure. By this logic, witches, like the glass fishing floats of yore, were unable to sink. Glass fishing floats, and later witch balls, were tied up in nets or left to dangle from ropes, not unlike a witch sentenced to die at the gallows. For these reasons, the witch ball serves as a symbolic warning to all witches who dare enter one’s home.

The ball’s inner threads work by means of fascination. Witches and dark spirits are drawn into the ball because they cannot resist playing with its threads. They are entranced (or “fascinated”) by them. They wind themselves through the ball’s threads until the ball is cleaned by its owner. When the owner cleans it and wipes away the dust, she also wipes it free of evil spirits. Many other spirit traps work by a similar principle - the witch bottle, the dream catcher, even a handful of rice thrown toward a malevolent entity - they all work by fascination.

Many older witch balls have a mirror glaze. Some believe the large gazing balls that decorate gardens throughout the country may have their origin in the smaller, more magical witch ball. The mirror glaze is yet another fascinating thing about the witch ball.

No matter their origin or how they work, the witch ball is at the very least a delightful and rustic objet d’art. I find witch balls to be very effective, however. They can last for generations and are, in my opinion, one of the most aesthetic ways to ward a home.

This post is not even close to complete but I intend to continue expanding it as often as possible

🖤 Spell Jar for Protection 🖤

Ingredients/Equipment

Chilli Flakes (or Chilli Powder, whatever's around) - to ward off unwanted guests

Rosemary - purification, protection

Salt - absorbing negative energy, protection, purification

Black Pepper (both peppercorns and grounded) - banish negativity, protection from evil

3 Bay Leaves - protection from harmful energies

Protection Sigil or a Banish Negativity Sigil

Preferably Black Candle to seal the jar (white may be used as a substitute as I have done)

A Jar

A Funnel (trust me, if you don't use one shit will go everywhere, make and use a homemade paper funnel if you need to)

Spell Method

Cast a protective circle or do your own pre-spell rituals, whatever works for you and light the candle

Cleanse your equipment and ingredients (I use specific ritual incense but again whatever works for you, sage burning, etc)

Put the ingredients in the jar one at a time, repeating a chosen affirmation for protection with each one. The order doesn't nessicarily matter as the intent is what's most important. However, I recommend leaving the bay leaves until last

Use a marker to draw a sigil that represents protection or banishing negativity on at least one of the bay leaves. If you need to break up the leaves to fit them in the jar that's okay; again, the intention is what's most important

Close the jar and seal it with the wax from the candle

In my search of bird proofing bee hotels, I gave come to a new hypothesis: since only those hotels with wire netting seem to fall victim to bird pecking (I suspect tits and starlings) I theorize that the birds are small, light and smart enough to hold themselves up to the wire and enjoy the buffet. So if they cant access the wire, they should leave my babies alone!

Originally,in winter, I wanted to remove all those wire parts and fill them up with tubes since they are virtually useless. The only ones I´ve ever seen using them are spiders and they have enough other hide-outs. But I could not find one merchant that had nesting tubes in stock and I do not have the time to start cutting bamboo rods myself. So I thought ´lets do it next year.´

Only the tubes situated above wired parts are pecked by birds as can be seen on these pictures, thus my theory.

So I removed the extra chickenwire (it was ineffective) and tried a new approach. I hope by spanning cord across them the birds will be discouraged since the rope is less stable to hold them up. My only worry is that they entangle themselves in the rope but we´ll see. I´ll check them at least twice daily to spot any potential trapped birds.

The bees do not appear bothered by the rope (they appear way less bothered than by the chicken wire) and it is visually more pleasing (though that is of course less important).

Keep My Name Out Of Your Fucking Mouth ~ Binding curse

Howdy y'all! I was dealing with some bullshit that I would rather not deal with but a las, here I am. Anyways, did a little thing and thought I'd share for anyone who has to work with absolute vain, dumb pieces of shit like me. Please excuse how cringe the writing is, I really let my 13 year old emo me run wild with this but it felt fantastic to cast. As always, when cursing and hexing please make sure you stay safe. Ground yourself before hand, cleanse yourself after, don't damage yourself just to get one over on someone else. Happy casting.

Ingredients:

your rage

a black candle(ideally taper but a tealight or whatever will do just fine)

twine(so they feel like they're suffocating)

a sharp utensil or needle to carve said candle

Steps:

Carve the target's name into the black taper candle with the needle . Put a circle around their name and a giant X over the circle. This is to symbolize a bound mouth.

Wrap the candle with twine, visualizing the person being bound and silenced. Please practice fire safety. DO NOT LEAVE UNATTENDED. Keep in a safe dish or simply opt out of the twine if you know you don't want to sit there the whole time.

Light the black taper and say the incantation below. Let the candle burn down completely or fully past the engraving, focusing on your intent throughout the process.

Dispose of any left over remnants in a way that suits you. Throw it in the trash, a curse box, your jobs dumpster, just be eco-friendly please.

Incantation:

"May your lies and slander turn to dust,

In your mouth, words of me shall rust.

When you speak, the twine constrains,

Your words of me, bound in chains.

Feel the pressure, feel the strain,

Each attempt will be in vain.

By this candle, black as pitch,

Your mouth shall twitch, your tongue shall stitch.

Silence now, hold your breath,

Speak of me and feel my wrath.

This spell I weave, this curse I cast,

Keep my name out of your fucking mouth,

And let this silence last."
