Remove negative people from your life

I don’t know whether I should call this banishment, a charm, or a spell or whatever, but here it is, its for removing old negative people from your life and removing them from your mind and not letting them effect you anymore.

Materials:

A small playdough container (can be bought at a dollar store)

Old pictures of you and said person (if you don’t have any printed you could just write their name on a piece of paper)

A lighter

A fire safe container (an old candle jar works)

Something to collect ashes

Black salt (mine was left over from a hex)

Black candle

Black string or ribbon

Reminder: Anything in this can be changed to better suit you

Steps:

First take the photos and burn just the person our of them, leave yourself and others untouched - chant: “with this flame you are burnt out of my life, you can no longer effect me, you no longer linger in my head, your negativity can no longer touch me”

Make sure nothing is still burning and that you’ve neatly collected all of your ashes. Next grab the playdough make an indent that looks like this:

*I chose black for protection and insulation of the negative energy, but you can use any color really*

Then pour the ashes into the playdough - chant:“ Once insealed in here you can no longer reach me, your negativity will be trapped”

Then grab your black salt

Sprinkle the black salt over the ashes - chant: “this salt protects me from you and your energy, you can no longer effect me”

Then light your black candle and drip wax on top of all of it to really seal it in

Once the wax is almost dry pull in the sides of the playdough until it looks like nothing’s in it

And finally put the lid on and tie it off with a ribbon - chant: “with this ribbon I tie your negative effects to this container, you are restrained, you cannot touch me”

And then you’re done! I don’t suggest barring it because I don’t like putting things into the earth that don’t belong, so I just put it in an old drawer with some old hexs that never gets opened. The less it’s messed with, the more effective it is.

"By far, the most popular caveat to Magical statements of intent is “as long as it harms no one”—which seems, at first, to be a convenient and straightforward way to be nice and ethical. The only problem is that almost everything harms someone somehow. This isn't a feature of Magical action, it's a feature of action itself. That job you want? Someone else wants it too. If you get it, they don't. Same with the lover you want or the house you are trying to get. The court case you are trying to win will also generate a loser. That's the way the world works. This is why I often remind my students that “All Sorcery has a body count.”

Candle Spell to Welcome the New Year 🍻

A wealth of tradition attends the entrance of the new year as a time for new beginnings, as well as an opportunity to ensure one's luck for the year to come. The following enables you to add a welcoming ritual to your celebration. Choose the most convenient time to perform this rite by coordinating it with your other activities. You could try it a few minutes before or after midnight or at any time during the following day. You can also perform it with your family or group, changing the "I" to "we."

When ready, light the candle and say:

As I light this candle,

I bid the Old Year farewell,

With gratitude for milestones passed,

And memories cherished.

And I welcome the New Year in

With love and warmth and blessings.

That the quality of this new year be assured,

I now dedicate a moment to visioning

Some ways to make this year

A year of excellence,

A year of fortune.

Pause for a moment to envision the kind of year that you want to have and the kind of person that you want to be. Enhance these visualizations by imagining your objectives charged with energy and bathed in glowing light. Then continue:

And thus do my wishes for the year

take on their own life and purpose.

So does the year itself

take on a glowing life and power;

A bright year, a bold year,

a golden year, a year of magic!

So may this year bring luck,

and peace, and prosperity

to one and all.

Now return to your revelries, or whatever you have planned. You can allow the candle to burn continuously, or relight it every morning to reactivate the magic of your celebration. Whether the candle takes a few days or a few months to burn down, you can be satisfied that its flames will radiate your blessings to last the twelve months out

Ok guys, here is how NOT to speak to a tarot reader (or anybody)

Why This Is Not Okay (On a Tarot Level):

Tarot readers are people. We are not your magic dispensers and we don’t work on demand.

Reading tarot (especially those of us who attempt energy channelling) takes up a lot of energy. I get tons and tons of request for free readings that you guys dont see and the times I have opened it up for free the request poured in too much to handle.

Even if someone is offering free readings, dont heckle them! Show some respect. If you genuinly believe this person is going to delve into your fate and advise you on paths then you better be nice to them.

Do you guys have any idea how much readings normally cost? $30-45 USD, thats just for a simple little spread and maybe some chat time. In cities some charge more like $60-200! Compared to that my average price is $5-10… I’m not wringing you for money here.

Why This Is Not Okay (On a Personal Level):

I feel I made it pretty clear that I was a professional tarot reader in my first message and not just practicing for free. Its okay if youre new and accidentally request a free reading without knowing- but once I tell you…well now you know.

Asking beyond that is coercive behavior which is incredibly toxic. Asking until someone says yes is not concent to engage in anything.

This is emotional manipulation. Learn to recognize it because I see it all the time and its becoming normalized. So much so that people who aren’t intentionally manipulative have begun doing it because it gets results. Intentionally or not its baiting someone to do something they wouldn’t normally do.

Either way I can tell you right now that this person is not ready to find their soul mate, or even be in any kind of relationship. They have so much self-work to do first before they drag somebody down with them.

In case you guys are going “ I dunno E, maybe you jumped the gun on this one. Abuse is a strong word.”… Well she is still going.

So in case you have never seen it, this is what manipulation looks like! This is what you watch out for!

repotting plants things:

don’t fill up the pot the whole way, leave about an inch of rim so you can actually water

but don’t plant way too deep either, this could lead to air flow issues which can lead to rot

don’t use really big pots for small plants. it makes it very hard to know when to water.

only go up an inch or so in diameter every time you repot. if you get a new plant and find it has almost no roots you can sometimes even go down a size. I’ve found many common houseplants like Philodendrons especially like this.

remove plants from plastic pots by gently squeezing, not always by pulling on the plant

remove plants from terracotta or ceramic/glazed pots by being gentleeee and maybe by running a knife or other utensil around the diameter of the pot if it’s really stuck and also by praying

loosen the roots by squeezing or gently untangling the root ball

it’s ok if you break some roots i promise

sometimes you’ll want to remove as much of the old soil as you can, other times just remove enough to leave some loose roots

throw small amount dirt in bottom of pot first, then place plant in. the base of the plant should ideally be level with where you want it when fully planted. if not, lift up and add more dirt and repeat

some plants you can plant deeper than they originally were, others you can’t

add dirt around the plant, packing gently. don’t pack it super duper tight but don’t just toss it in there loosely either

add one handful at a time. rotating the pot is easiest

rotate and gently pack, rotate and gently pack until dirt level is where you want it

water your plant in when finished. water deeply until the water runs out of the bottom. this is important to prevent air pockets (roots can’t grow in air). with succulents you may want to wait a few days to water in to prevent rot but most times they’ll be ok.

if you did have air pockets, your dirt might settle a bit. add some more and water again.

ta da, repotting

Do you know any teas that help with colds? I can't really go to the doctor and I'm not in position where I can stay home and rest but I really just want to be over this already haha

Here are some cold rememdies passed down by my very witchy neighbor (who was my grandma’s bestie, and a second grandma to me).

Cold Remedies:

Yellow Root Tea (Its gross but powerful, issue with this one is I forage for yellow root locally. Not sure where it can be bought )

Green Tea with ginger and lemon is always a good idea and suitable runner up

If you have a sore throat or nasal issue, gargle a mug of warm salted water

Tumeric and raw garlic on EVERYTHING

Peppermint is another thing to use lots of, I like to inhale it in the shower or in rubs

Apple cider vinegar shots are great for killing bacteria in the throat

Alkaline tablets are also a godsend but I usually cram on these right as Im feeling a little under to stop it in its tracks

Spicy food is also a good idea as both peppers and the heat will help you out.

This following things will not heal you, but it might make you feel better:

Sick Man’s Coctail: Ice + Sprite + Straw 🎉 magical. Add ginger, fresh lemon, or peppermint for an extra boost.

Lazy Egg Drop Soup: Ramen (chicken or any chicken variant). Cook the noodles until they are almost done with flavoring and all then start swirling the mixture. In the momentum, crack an egg but only pull it a little apart and let it drizzle in strips into the soup.

Eco Friendly Steam Shower To Open Sinuses: Stick your head in the steam above your boiling pot of water while making ramen 😂 (use caution)

Favorite Things To Watch While Sick: Great British Bake Off, Hilda, Steven Universe, Nailed It, Ugly Delicious, Documentaries and anything else that is entertaining but doesn’t require my total focus.

[sigilsibling]

Love this! But just a warning: don’t drink ANY sort of vinegar straight. It’s VERY acidic and will burn like a mofo going down and possibly give you acid reflux. Also? As a self identified idiot I have personally tried drinking a shot of apple cider vinegar and it’s NASTY.

I’d advise boiling some water and having a teaspoon or two of the vinegar in with some honey and nutmeg. Tastes just like apple pie!

Astral Travel 🚀🌌

My personal method of astral travel.

Get some sleep prior so that you don’t accidentally doze off

Wear comfortable clothing

Turn off or dim the lights in your room as much as possible, although this can still be performed in a fully lit room if you want

Lay down in a comfortable position - I usually lay flat on my back in bed with something covering my eyes as to not let any light slip through

Choose a soundtrack or playlist consisting of ambient music and binaural beats (this is my favorite - to be listened to with headphones for the best results)

The music and binaural beats help to get you to a relaxed, meditative, trance-like state without consciously trying too hard

Once you reach that state, you should feel somewhat of a “body high” or a tingly sensation all over your body

At this point, try to visualize the room you’re in and your surroundings as if you were actually standing there looking around and not laying down in a bed

When you can do this successfully, it’s time to actually travel elsewhere: visualize yourself walking around your room, and eventually ending up somewhere totally different - I always “fly” or “float” to my destination but how you get there is up to you - I personally like to go to space, but you can literally go anywhere you want

I would recommend creating an “astral sanctuary” or “astral temple” when you reach your destination - this is basically your home base for when you decide to astral travel back to that place

This requires more visualization to actually manifest something that was not there before - your sanctuary can be as low-key or extravagant as you want

Practice placing items and altering the surroundings in your astral sanctuary 

Once your sanctuary is created and you have a safe place to return to, it’s time to explore your surroundings - this can take as long as you want, there’s no time limit just so long as you’re responsible with it and aren’t missing out on any real-life priorities or appointments 

To re-enter your body, you must try to “snap out of it” and visualize traveling back to your physical body - I always end up repeatedly saying something like “it’s time to go home now” until I feel like I am becoming more conscious and aware of myself 

You might be pretty exhausted after astral traveling, so it’s a good idea to have some water and a snack on hand for when you return 

Good luck! ✨🌟
