CHEESE MAGICAL CORRESPONDENCES

This is from my own research on the cheese making process, where they are from, their origin, and such things that make these cheeses unique, and what their magical correspondences could be based on how they are made and their history/origin. Enjoy.

Waters

Hello darlings! Today I really want to talk about magical waters. I’ll start with simple waters, then one ingredient waters, and then composite waters. Waters is pretty much anything like water that is used magically, so it ranges from storm water to tobacco and damiana tincture, and other stuff. Any of these can be collected whenever is convenient, but I added the time to collect them to make them more potent.

Natural Waters

Rain Water:

Rain water can be used for any spell to make it more potent, but it is a useful tool in peace magic, to quell anger, to relax, and for dream magic. Collect whenever you want.

Storm Water:

Storm water can be either protective or offensive. Use it to wash down your doors to protect you from hexes, and wash your tools with it to amplify their power. You can use it in any hexes or curses you want. To amplify it, add rusty nails to it and let turn rusty. Collect on a waxing gibbous moon.

Swamp Water:

Can be used in works for binding, hexing, or cloaking. Use when wanting to cause illness. Annoint yourself with swamp water to make yourself unnoticeable to others. Colelct on the dark moon (second new moon of the month) or on the new moon.

Marsh Water:

Marsh water is almost the same as swamp water, but it is more suitable for cloaking than other things. It can also be used for cleansing negative energies. Colelct on waning crescent moon.

Hail Water:

Hail water is melted hailstones. Use it for protection or hexing. Similar to storm water, but more aggressive. Use when you want to break sojmeone, or when you wish to cause physical harm. Collect during a full moon for best results.

Salt Water:

Salt water can be used for cleansing and protection from negativity. Simply add salt to water.

Sea Water:

Use sea water in works involving the psyche, or in hexing. It can also be used for cleansing. I use it to work with demonic forces as well. Collect on a new moon.

Lake Water:

Lake water is amazing in works concerning emotions, love, memories, or past life regressions. Boil it and drink it to enhance attempts for past life regressions. Collect on waxing moon.

Pond Water:

Use when wanting to bind someone, or to limit their horizons. Keep a flower vase with pond water in it on a table to silence a conversation to those not sitting at it. Collect on a dark moon.

Spring Water:

Spring water is super versatile. Use it instead of tap water.

Dew:

Dew can allow the witch to cast powerful glamours for beauty and youth. It is an important ingredient in love potions. Collect at sunrise during a waxing or full moon.

Self Water:

Fancy word for spit or urine. This one is a little nasty, but it is to be used whenever a spell needs to be tied to the caster.

Simples

Sun Water:

Bask any sort of water in the sun for a full day. Use it for cleansing, to bring positivity into a space, or for glamours of youth.

Moon Water:

Used to power up any spell. Let water sit in the light of a full moon for a full night.

Tobacco Water:

Steep tobacco into water for a week in the fridge. When strained, mix with 100 proof vodka, about 1.5 parts water for 1 part vodka. Use it to cleanse or to offer to spirits when working with them. Can be used to cause addiction in a person.

Saffron Water:

Steep saffron into water and mix 1 part water with 1 part vodka. Use to raise winds by sprinkling it in the air, or rub on your lips before whistling and raising storms.

Rose Water:

Use for love, glamours, and beauty. Steep fresh rose petals in vodka for a period of 4 weeks, and then extract all the liquid from the petals by pressing them until they have lost their color. Cut with 0.5 part water.

Orange Blossom Water:

Use for joy, beauty, cleansing, and sunshine. Prepare in the same way as the rose water.

Lilac Water:

Use lilac water for sleep, dream magic, spirit work, and cleansing. Prepare in the same way you would prepare the other flower waters.

Apple Blossom Water:

Create this by the same manner as the three flower waters above. Use for protection, love, and beauty.

Holly Water:

Holly water is to be used to protect your family. It will prick at intruders, or unwelcomed guests. It will also allow you to always have knoledge of the safety of your family. Simply steep holly leaves in water and mix with vodka. Do not ingest this, as it is poisonous.

Composites

All Bite no Bark Water:

A powerful water used for protection of a space. Mix together storm water, hair of a black dog, dirt of a grave, the ashes of psalm 7, rose thorns, teeth of a canidae, and three holly berries. Pour around a room which you wish to protect, or water protective plants to give their produce an aggressive kick. This water will protect a space with the ferocity of a rabid dog, and will not warn before attacking.

Fiery Wall of Protection Water:

Mix together sun water with three hot peppers, red brick dust, pottasium nitrate (saltpeter), sulfur, and blackthorn pricks. Another like the above, but more passive. Attacker might suffer a rash after encountering it.

Pitch Water:

Use pitch water to stop someone from making any progress. Mix together water from a swamp, gum arabic or acacia, charcoal dust, and chapparal. It can also be used to dissorient. Fair warning, this water is hella sticky.

Fuck Off Water:

Mix together sumac, apple seeds, thorns of a blackberry, cloves and storm water. Use it to repel unwanted people.

Goodbye Lover Water:

Mix together sea water, sumac, cloves, poppy seeds, thorns of a cactus, petals of a hibiscus flower, and saltpeter. Use it to get rid of unwanted courters or lovers, or to make two people break up.

I hope you guys find this useful! Make sure to be careful with any of the potentially dangerous ingredients listed, and put these to good use! Good luck my darlings.

Kitchen Witch Cheat Sheet

It can be so confusing remembering all the different properties of food. Flat out over whelming to be honest. So instead of having a long sheet with every food you cook with and 10 properties it could have, start with this. It'll be a rule of thumb to help remember some basics.

Elements

If a food is spicy or has a lot of energy/Passion, it likely has the element Fire. Black Tea, Chocolate, and Jalapenos are examples.

If a food is very light or fragrant, it likely had the element Air. Onions, Herbs, and whipped cream are examples.

If a food is juicy, runny, or comes from the ocean/lake, it likely has the element Water. Apples, Milk, and Fish are examples.

If a food doesn't fit into any of the previous categories, chances are it has the Element Earth since all food comes from the earth.

Properties

Any food that has been a backbone staple will have Prosperity properties. Rice, Wheat, Oats, Cabbage, Quinoa; anything that has allowed a people to prosper.

Foods that have spent a lot of time directly in the ground will have strong Grounding properties. Beets, Potatoes, Carrots, and other root vegetables. Additionally, foods that have been through a grounding process also tend to have good Grounding properties. Coffee and Ground Meat for example.

Spicy spices are good for banishing and protection. Black pepper, Cayenne, Chili Flakes, Gochujang ect. If you hate spicy food, stick with Salt and maybe Garlic/Onion powder.

There will be some exceptions and overlap. This is just to help if you're starting.

SUPER Low Energy Witchcraft

I’ve been seeing a lot of low energy witchcraft posts, but every one I read isn’t really low energy. When I think ‘low energy,’ I think something I can do on my lowest of low days. Days I can’t get out of bed or even think sometimes. So here it is. The SUPER Low Energy Witchcraft Guide.

Sigils sites. I have found this one to be very good. They’ll make a sigil for you so you don’t have to.

Pinterest boards. Making spells or manifesting using Pinterest boards is one of my favorite things to do.

Spotify playlists. Similar to the Pinterest board idea, use songs to create spells or manifest certain things.

Emoji spells. Use emojis to make spells, making sure they’re packed with intent.

Hang out with your tarot deck. Or any divination tool, for that matter. Just having it near you counts.

Talking to spirits and deities. Tell them about something you plan to do for them, a ritual you’d like help with, ask for help getting through the lows, etc. Or just talk to them. It doesn’t matter about what, talking improves relationships.

Read. Read books you were planning on reading. Definitely do not ever go on Z-Library for free books. Never. /s You do have limits on downloading and it’s relatively hard to figure out on mobile, but if you can get your tablet or computer up and running, it’ll work perfectly.

Scroll through Tumblr. Or Reddit. Or Pinterest. Or even Tik Tok. Scroll through the witch tags, scroll through the tags of and deities you might worship/work with. Or just look at pretty plants. Think about what they can help you with.

Make a shopping list. If you need to restock any herbs or candles, note it down.

Just light a candle or two. Simple as that.

Make a pouch or enchant a piece of jewelry or whatever you want to do to help you recover from your lows before they happen. Touch them or hold them or even just think of them when you want.

Similar to above, enchant any aids (mobility aids, medication, pain relievers, heating pads and ice packs, etc.) to help you recover faster.

If you can, think about your practice, what you want to change, what you 100% wouldn’t change, how it relates to others’ crafts, etc.

Meditate. I’m not talking about some 30 minute guided meditation sitting upright, because I have trouble with them on my lows. I’m talking about staring blankly into space or practicing mindfulness or something like that. You don’t have to do it for long, either. Take a few minutes to chill.

If you can, open your windows. Or curtains. Or blinds. Let it clear out your space.

Enchant your water or foods to help with your symptoms. Draw a sigil with anything (oil, sharpie, air, etc.) on your bottles and above your food to aid in your recovery.

Wash your face and/or hands to cleanse yourself for the day.

Have a ‘worry stone.’ Take a crystal or rock or other stone and rub it when you’re anxious. Or, enchant it to remove negative energies and rub it when your pain is at the worst. The very least it will do is distract you.

Simply rest. Resting and taking some time to recover is the best practice.

Obviously this isn’t a large list, but I cannot emphasize the ‘simply rest’ part enough. As practitioners, we tend to want to do more when we’re sitting bored in bed. But remember, safety first. The quicker you recover, the quicker you can get back to your craft.

Spirit companion question—

I'm noticing all the active spirit adoption shops now have prices. Its been a while since I used tumblr for witchy purposes, but this was surprising to me. Is that the standard now? If anyone knows of low/no cost adoption centers/RAs, let me know!!

Hi! I really love your worship posts and wanted to ask if you could make ones for Loki and Odin please? Thank you :)

Ways of Worshipping the All-Father Odin

(Loki's post coming soon)

- have an altar dedicated to him, as much as Norse Gods want direct and equality in communication they are fans of lavish things and flattery

- alcohol such as red wine, mead, aquavit or whiskey

- a nice chalice to pour liquid offerings into

- a mug of coffee, take a sip first and then offer the rest to him

- write and burn a poem for him

- write dramatic stories and music and read them to him, he loves drama, pour your heart into it

- share jokes with him!

- do your shadow work

- offer your pain and suffering, feel your emotions, write them down and burn them as an offering

- spend time in the woods/nature

- FLATTERY, it goes a long way with the Norse Gods

- learn and use his many names such as, the All-Father, the Victory-Father, Grimnir, Hanged Man, Wotan, Masked One, Rune God, Jolnir, Gelding, Grey beard and the One eyed Wanderer

(Knowing and using the many names is a form of flattery)

- fruit

- horse, Raven, wolf and bear imagery

- black feather, raven skulls etc (ethically sourced)

- horse shoes

- wolf pawprints, fur and teeth (ethically sourced)

- Runes: Ansuz, Wunjo, Gebo and Othala.

- learn Rune magic and Rune divination

- the Hanged Man tarot card

- dedicate a form of divination to him as Odin, being associated with Horses often led him to being associated with divination 🤷‍♀️

- a statue of himself

- black, red, grey, cobalt or purple candles

- partake in rituals and celebrations such as Sigrblót (April 15th), Yggdrasil day (April 22nd), the Last Harvest (October 31st), and Yule

- Red meats especially beef

- smoked salmon

- leaks, asparagus and garlic

- eat well! Dedicate the meal to him and his wolves Geri and Freki

- feast! Spoil yourself on Wednesdays! (And spoil Odin a bit too)

- offer your secrets and speak respectfully as you would to others, the Norse Gods prefer to be spoken to as equals

- (a pipe with) tobacco

- The Nine Sacred Herbs: ash leaves, elm leaves, parsley, woad, cinquefoil, horehound, periwinkle

- make donations to or do volunteer work at a veterans organisations

- riddles and puzzles

- many heathens say that it is best to directly commune with the All-Father and ask what he wants specifically, he is a jack of all trades deity, and encompasses many aspects such as, war, poetry, riddles, kingship, magic, inspiration, death, self-empowerment, transformation, leadership, travel, madness, academia and wisdom meaning there are so many different types of offerings you could give him

- acts of courage such as standing up for yourself or others

- be wise, know or learn your boundaries in all different areas of life, financial, spiritual, social etcetera

- learn! There is so much in this world to learn, dedicate your time studying to Odin, whether it be mythos, war history or just studying for fun or classes, dedicate that time to him, maybe even light his candle

- dedicate the 9th month of the year to your practice with the All-Father, the number 9 is sacred to him, if you can find multiple ways to incorporate it into your offerings and practice as well

- become an educator, a professor, a leader or a tutor, allow yourself the ability to learn and teach at the same time

Sometimes it’s helpful to engage in a little bit of self reflection. This Reality Check tarot spread is great whenever a little perspective is needed. If you ever find yourself with doubts or worries, I hope this spread can serve as a useful tool to bolster your conscious awareness, and assist you in making empowering choices.

shydryad’s list of nasty shit to put in curse jars

Since my altar/offering idea list seemed to get a good response, here’s another list on the opposite end of the spectrum.

Be warned, some of this stuff is dangerous to handle, like, physically, not just magically. Don’t leave a curse jar full of anything that might rot in or near your house. I’m not responsible for the results of whatever you do with this information, or the results of any hexes you cast.

cemetery dirt

maceration water (if you’re not familiar with taxidermy terminology, it’s the water leftover after you let animal parts sit in it for a while to clean flesh off of bones)

labyrinth dirt

animal claws/teeth (pick an animal that corresponds with your intention)

rotten flesh/meat/eggs (be sure to bury the damn thing outside as far away from you as possible if you go this route)

the cheapest, nastiest vodka you can find, or malt liquor (good for spells targeting an abusive alcoholic)

vinegar

dead insects (especially spiders)

thunderstorm water

urine

cat shit

bullets

thorns

wasps nest

barbed wire

rusty nails/coffin nails

needles

spanish moss

bloodstone

iron filings

broken glass

razor blades

goofer dust (this one might be a bit controversial; depending on your views, this might be best to skip and leave for hoodoo practitioners to use)

mars water (especially if made on the day of mars, hour of mars)

crushed ants, wasps, and scorpions

blood root

black snake root

deerstongue

asafoetida

high john root

whole chili pepper

dragon’s blood

blackthorn bark

masterwort

coriander seed

Travel Powder : Howls Moving Castle

“Dust this powder on your sails and the winds wil favor you” -markl

Heyo! As I mentioned earlier this account was meant to be an online grimoire that would teach y’all how to make TV spells real! This is one of the first ones I made but it works pretty well.

Ingredients:

Dandelion seeds

Star Anise

Cottonwood fluff

Gossamer (optional)

Sand (preferably from a riverbank or ocean beach)

Dried clover (petals or leaves)

Confectioners sugar (optional)

Assembly:

Grind dandelion, anise, pollen and dried clover with mortar into a fine powder

Add your cottonwood and mix again

If you’ve decided to use confection sugar, add that now for sweet travels

Now add sand and gossamer and grind one last time

Once you’ve finished apply it where needed and store in a solid satchet.

I’ve used this on luggage, plane tickets, veils, tires, actual sails, dusted it on my boots, slapped it on talismans and now I keep it in my coat pocket.

It must be working too, or else the gods are willing it, I’ve never bumped into any trouble in my car, passed my drivers test on the first go, never had a flight delayed or cancelled, our hotels have got our rooms ready and none of my flights have featured crying babies. So. In contrast I feel it works just fine.

You could also use this for Aeromancy if you’re into the Artes Magicae 👉👉 blessings be and all that 🤗

Witchcraft: A Guide to Incense + Correspondences

ー

Caution:

Never leave incense to burn unattended! If you have to leave the room, extinguish it first by dipping the tip in water.

Only use incense in well-ventilated areas! Remember, incense is a smoke and breathing it in is not very healthy. Do not use it indoors unless you are in a very well-ventilated room.

Likewise, use it sparingly! There are plentiful alternatives to cleansing and creating a magical atmosphere besides incense that are just as effective. (Many witches and practitioners who can't have smoke in their spaces use water solutions to cleanse!)

Overall, if you use incense properly, safely, and sparingly, it should not pose you any health problems.
