Hello. I am the owner of JS Creations a very small handmade natural product… Juanita Hayles needs your support for Help a Mom Get Her Busin
I know I haven't been as active on here. I finally escaped an abusive marriage and have finally gotten a chance to start my business. Please share/help however you can. Starting over at 42 is no joke.
Match Magic
Match magic is a versatile and easy sort of spellcrafting. Unfortunately, fire is a necessity so this is not for people who can’t light matches.
The basic concept of match magic is that the matchstick is charged with intent. Then, the match is burned to release the intent so the magic can go do its work. As the match burns, watch the flame to divine the success or manifestation of the spell.
1. Getting prepared
The only thing you really need are wooden matches. Lighters do not work for this particular kind of thing because the main focus is on charging and burning the wood, not the fire itself. I can find a box of 250 large wooden matches for a dollar here.
When you hold a lit match, the match cannot burn all the way down (or you will really burn your fingers!) This may lead you to feel like the entire spell has not been released. There are three solutions I have found and perhaps one will resonate with you depending on your beliefs:
a. Mark a line on the match with a pencil, and put the intent only on the burning end. When the flame reaches the pencil mark, blow it out. All the intent will be released without your fingers being burned. b. After the match is lit, carefully and firmly grasp one end with a pair of tweezers. This will allow the entirety of the match to burn, releasing all the intent. c. Recognize that the bit of unburnt match left over works to ‘ground’ the magic in your life, helping keep the intent attached to the physical plane as it goes about and does its work in the ethereal or astral.
If you choose, you may watch the match burn down in order to divine the success of the spell, or the path it will take during manifestation. The shape of the charcoal may also give you a clue as to the success of the magic. However, in order to read the omens in the flame, you should have a good understanding of what a regular, mundane match looks like when it burns. Get your box of matches and decide on a few things:
Will you be holding all your matches perfectly horizontal, or vertical, or in some other fashion?
Will you be holding the match with your fingers or some other tool?
How long will you allow each match to burn?
Ensure that you are wherever you are likely to do your match spells most often (it may be over an altar, or for me, my desk). Turn off any fans in the area, close windows, and generally reduce any drafts as much as possible.
When you have an idea of how you want the little ritual to go, light about ten uncharged matches in your working area and carefully observe how they burn. Note how high the flames tend to go, how quickly the flames move along the match, in what way the wood curls when it is burned, et cetera. Carefully save these burned matches (you could also take a photo) and use them as a control group to compare against your magical matches. You may or may not notice a distinct difference between how your plain matches compare with your magical ones; my magical matches tend to burn in a corkscrew shape and the flames often reach much higher.
2. Understanding the nature of match magic
Match magic is not a big kickass sort of spell. It can be powerful and forceful, but it is more like a paintball gun than a cannon. The wood itself can only hold so much energy, and the energy is released quickly instead of through a long, steady burn. This is really more like quick fix-it Band-aid magic than anything else. Here is what I have found match magic to be appropriate for:
Motivation
“Get me through the day/this class/this meeting”
Quick fix for anxiety, although only for a short amount of time
A nudge for someone to do something
Gaining focus for a task ahead
Because the matches burn so quickly, they are also appropriate for on-the-go devotionals or to add quick power to an existing spell. Many of us will leave tea lights on an altar to empower something; if you cannot leave a tea light burning, charging and burning a match may be a sufficient substitution.
Here is one paradigm explanation for how match magic “works”: Wood is good at holding magical intent and charge. The physical item is also excellent as a focus point. As you gather power, you can store it in the match. When you intuit that you have collected enough energy for the magical task at hand, use your magical willpower to imprint your intent on the raw energy. After you ‘stamp’ your intent in to the energy, the match is now a self contained charm. However, we want the magic to move ahead of us and around us in order blaze the trail for our success. When the match is lit, the energy is rapidly released and goes on its merry way.
The fire in this spell is transformative; full of changes. It transforms our intent in to reality; it releases contained energy in to flowing energy; it converts one situation in to another.
3. Charging the matches
Do not bother using your own energy for this kind of spell; you can actually get the energy within the match quite dense, and you may end up draining yourself. Instead, call upon an external energy. If you ground with a root system, you can call upon the powers of the earth to work for you. If you can gather energy from the space around you, do that - you can also use energy stored in crystals, or whatever other method you typically use for raising spell-energy.
In this spell, your energy is the wheel, not the clay - call upon energy from something else and use your magical reservoir to shape it.
Before you begin, ensure you have a simple statement of intent. The statement is probably better off being positive instead of negative. Here are some examples:
POSITIVE:
I will get all of my homework done today
Laura will skip class today
That dog will be silent today
NEGATIVE:
I will not be sleepy
My bills will not come in the mail today
John will not call me today
Hold a single match in your hand (marked with a pencil if that is how you prefer to do it). Call energy to you and direct it in to the match. At first the energy may be very thin and in a cloud around the matchstick. Compress the energy down until it is all contained within the wood. Draw up and compress more and more energy until you feel you have gotten enough. The matchstick may seem to be glowing very brightly, if you can ‘see’ energy, and if you can feel energy the matchstick may make your skin feel quite weird. Using your magical will, keep the energy within the matchstick contained. Simultaneously use your will to stamp your statement of intent in to the energy, forming it and molding it so it is programmed to your will. If you don’t get what I mean, just imagine that the matchstick is full of all this raw, smooth energy. Then mentally shout at it until you intuit that the energy is programmed.
After this, you may wish to do a sealing action (“so mote it be”). Then immediately light the match and hold it in the same way you did during your practice runs. Watch the match burn and see if you can determine how the spell will go. Blow the match out when it is time and keep or discard the charcoal and leftover wood however it feels right to you.
If you wish, call appropriate and relevant energies instead of just using whatever. Air energy is appropriate for focus and mindfulness, while Mars energy is appropriate for acts of aggression.
Because the spell is released with fire it will by nature be quick to take effect and quick to burn out. Keep that in mind while writing up your spells.
Magical Uses for Matches
added resource
initiate a ritual with a match instead of a lighter
seal a spell with the extinguishing of the flame
light one and let it burn until you can’t hold it anymore for an energy cleansing (can hold with tweezers or prop in an incense holder)
develop a good rule of thumb for how long you should burn a match for when you’re holding it (how many seconds until to have to put it out)
create a key of omens for your burnt match sticks
create a key of correspondences for holding your match vertical or horizontal / in your left hand or right hand / north, south east, west / etc.
grind up the burnt match as a spell ingredient
save the wooden base separately for wood splinters as a spell ingredient
color-code your matches and strike them as a substitute for lighting a colored candle
charge your matchbox with crystals, plants, herbs, overnight, in sunlight, etc.
whisper your wish or intent into the flame then promptly blow it out
hold it over an object and circle it counterclockwise to cleanse it
hold it over an object and circle it clockwise to enchant it
light a match with a lighter with the intent to cancel a spell
throw the burnt match into a bowl of water and let it sit in the moonlight to give your moonwater added protective properties
draw a sigil with a used match tip
write someone’s name and cross it out with a used match tip to hex them
write someone’s name and circle it with a used match tip to protect them
pour your negative energy into your fingertips, and into the match as you strike it, then toss the stick out to forcibly remove negative energy
light a match to produce productive or powerful energy
hold a lit match up to a mirror to banish unwanted entities
light a match in the middle of your garden right at sunrise or after sunset and bury the used stick for a bountiful harvest season
rub your thumb slowly across the strike pad 3 times to dispel anxiety and encourage confidence

If it makes you feel nice, do it. Don’t even worry about what other people think, because it doesn’t matter–if it brings you happiness, it’s not “ridiculous”, or “immature”.
You deserve to enjoy yourself.
Let me share with you what I consider to be the most important less I’ve learned in my adult life:
“Growing up doesn’t mean you can’t have Zebra Cakes. Growing up simply means that, if you want to have Zebra Cakes, you buy them for yourself.”
“What the hell are you talking about, Bear?” Well, let me explain. For those of you who live outside of the US, this is a Zebra Cake:
It’s a little pre-packaged snack cake that is horribly cheap and junky and really not that great, but it is like manna from heaven to me. I fucking love these things. When I was a little kid growing up, my mom bought Zebra Cakes but once in a blue moon. They were intended to be put in mine and my siblings’ school lunches, but my brother and I would eat them whenever we wanted, so Mom just didn’t see the point. (They also used to be kind of expensive, at least for our family’s budget.) Needless to say, the coveted Zebra Cakes were a luxury for me, and were one of the tastes of my childhood.
Fast forward to my college years. I was living in an apartment with three other people, doing my own shopping and cooking. I was in the grocery store, picking up some stuff, and I happened to walk past a display of snack cakes. Among them were several boxes of Zebra Cakes.
I paused at this, chuckling to myself. Oh man. Zebra Cakes. I haven’t had those in years. I loved those when I was a kid. I reminisced happily and thought about how much I missed the taste of Zebra Cakes, then started to walk away.
And then I stopped dead.
Because I had realized that there was literally nothing stopping me from buying a box of Zebra Cakes. There was nothing stopping me from buying ten boxes of Zebra Cakes. If I wanted Zebra Cakes, I could have goddamn Zebra Cakes, because it was my money and my decision to make.
I put two boxes in my cart (they were 2 for $5) and never looked back.
Here’s the secret I learned that day: The idea of something being “just for kids” is, by and large, bullshit. What you do on your own adult free time with your own adult money is, by its very nature, adult stuff. It’s like comedian Eddie Izzard (who frequently performed his routines in drag) once said when someone asked about him wearing ‘women’s clothes’: “They’re not women’s clothes. They’re my clothes. I bought them.”
I am 25 years old, and yesterday I bought myself a shark lunchbox. Look at it. Look at how awesome my lunchbox is.
Was this lunchbox intended to by bought for and used by a child? Yes. The tag said it was for ages 3 and up. But it was bought by and will be used by an adult, and anyone who thinks that’s wrong is probably just jealous that they don’t have the self-confidence to rock a shark lunchbox at 25.
So like. Being “mature” and “an adult” doesn’t mean you have to completely abandon the things that made you happy when you were younger. It just means that you may have to approach them in a different way.
Pay attention, there’s a lesson here
I hesitated reblogging this, and I am not entirely sure why.
Very important to me to see this considering how my mom literally prohibited certain good food or snakcs she used to let me have when young…
As C.S. Lewis once said, “When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.”
Reblogging again for that last comment
THIS! I catch myself explaining that I’m still an adult when I play and have a bed full of stuffed animals. Why!? I bought them with my adult ass money, from my adult ass job, after I paid my adult ass bills. Each stuffed toy, coloring book, and piece of candy in my possession IS for an adult…ME!

Soooo...I haven't posted in a very long time. I was in a depressive loop, trapped in a toxic marriage.
I finally moved out with my teen children and now I am starting from scratch.
Soooo...the catch. My job is about to take a break...I'm not to the status where I get paid for time off yet. My oldest has health issues and a lot of money goes towards that. Plus moving expenses/deposits and such I paid that zapped my account.
Well...my birthday is this Thursday (7/7) and I don't want to lose my new life at all but especially not on my birthday.
Plus...I would like to be able to celebrate as a free woman for the first time in 15 years.
Soooo...of anyone would like to give me a birthday/housewarming/new life gift...
