Y’all the witchcraft you could do with this!!!! The deity work!! The protection spells!! 🤩
If you are doing candle magic, watch for omens that may predict the success of your spell:
Tall, strong flame - your spell is empowered and getting through, it will work very well.
Flickering, unsteady flame - your spell is having trouble manifesting your results.
Dancing, wild flame - get ready for the roller coaster ride.
Normal flame - things are working as expected.
Small, blue flame - your spell is not getting through, prepare a backup plan.
Crackling, popping flame - your spell may manifest in very unexpected ways.
Things you’ll need:
Parsley
Bay Leaves
Thyme
Cedar twigs (the little green parts)
What to do:
Powder the herbs
Charge the powder with intent (that’s the important part)
You can burn as incense, use in witch bottles, or keep the powder around for ritual use.
My family and I have been using cedar since I can remember to cleanse our houses of nasty energies and bad spirits. I’m not sure how this incense will smell, but I’m sure cedar will give a nice earthy smell. Also be careful when you are burning home made incense.
Grow one plant for each area of your life (mental health, physical health, friendships, etc). Every time you care for that plant, check in with yourself and see if there’s any way you could be helping that part of your life flourish.
Prune/harvest to cut out old issues Water/fertilize to encourage growth Repot/add soil for change and new beginnings
Red Thread - protection against enemies, malefica, gossip, evil spirits, afflictions of health. Serves well to overcome enemies, against the evil eye, invite love, luck, joy and auspiciousness.
Blue Thread - protection against evil words, evil eye, healing melancholy, subduing fiery aspects that detriment the person (such as harsh tempers and excessive work), dark blue aids in spirituality and legalities.
Green Thread - in correspondence to my previous posts on the colour green. Darker greens seem to help more strongly with works relating to love and herbal medicine. Mixing it with red thread combines the aspect of Fauna and Flora essentially combining two aspects of the forces of Nature. Aids healers.
Black Thread - good for saturnine spells, wards off malefica, enemies, evil spirits. Bringing good fortune, honours, dominating enemeis and incredibly strong protective spells.
White Thread - protection, blessing, peace, healing. Good in combination to red in spells to remove evil and protect the person against inauspiciousness. Strengthens lunar qualities in the person.
Yellow Thread - I can't help but think of pestillence when I think of Yellow so I would view this as a colour for protection against sickness, bestowing good fortune and healing pestillence. I remember Backwoods Shamanism making reference to the colour yellow being used to petition the spirits related to the sickness to either inflict or leave the person afflicted.
Ok, witches! I gotta tell you about meteorological symbols!
There’s one for every weather condition you can think of! You can probably find a longer list in the back of a dictionary, or just search Google images.
You can use them as sigils on their own, or use them as inspiration to make your own sigils!
Use them for weather summoning!
Use the symbols as a substitute for certain weather conditions! For example, if a spell calls for rainwater and you live in the desert, use the meteorological symbol for heavy rain.
Use the metaphorical attributes of the symbols in spells! For example, a hurricane for added energy, or fog for concealment.
The list goes on!

I came up w this idea the other day when I bought some cat nip. But basically it’s a sexy time tea
-½ Tbsp mint (I used a mint blend of peppermint and spearmint) -1 tsp Catnip -1 tsp lemongrass
Steep for three minutes or more. I put in some honey in the shape of a heart and stirred clockwise. No kidding, my husband tried to get frisky w me after drinking the tea. I even made a joke about with him after our kid barged in before anything could happen.
inspired by @curseworm and her love of dirt
(all associations are my own, this is just a personal guide)
Garden mud- hard work, growth, health, grounding
Pathway mud- obstacles, cursing, travel
Graveyard mud- spiritual communication, banishing, memory
Woodland mud- secrets, animal communication, invocation, peace
River mud- change, cleansing, blessings
When you clean the mud off your boots, let all the negativity you’ve picked up along the way go with it
Get a jar of pathway mud and put someone’s name in it. This will make it harder for them to achieve their goals (ahem, ahem, Trump)
As usual- don’t take anything from private private property (unless you have permission) and don’t trespass. that’s just illegal and id like you to be safe
and it might be wise to leave a gift when you take something from nature, but that’s a personal choice
High, steady flame: Yes
Low, steady flame: No
Short, weak flame: No
Dancing flame:Needs more focus. Reground and try again.
Violent flickering flame: Strong no. Take this as a warning if you are certain this isn’t caused by an outside force or natural defect in candle.
Sputtering/Cracking flame: There is more to your answer than a simple yes or no,
Dual flame: Thinking, wait for answer.
Flame leaning to left: Yes
Flame leaning to right: No
Candle will not light: Ask later
Candle will not go out: You are not done yet. There is more you need to hear.
Candle goes out during session: Now is not the time to ask.
I feel like Rune Magic doesn’t get enough credit or recognition in the modern Pagan world and it really should. Runes are so easy to use, are great for beginners and experts alike. I’ve scanned a few Runes in here with their power and how to apply that power. Keep in mind you can use Runes in any way you feel comfortable. Sometimes, I just draw a Rune on my hand, that way I’m reminded of my spell or wish nearly every moment. Runes are the perfect visualization tool. Put them to good use!
