“Men fear witches because they take their power from the earth without poisoning the soil.”

[heatherwitch]

Hey Mouse! I noticed you're in college,and I was wondering what tips you have for being a witch on a Budget. Are there any places you've found great deals for things?

Boy do I! I rarely spend much money on witchcraft (with the exception of a birthday trip to metaphysical shops and treating myself to harder-to-find crystals).

Never underestimate thrift shops for witchy finds. And witchy aesthetic outfits cause that’s also important ;)

Dollar stores are great.

You can find most of what you need from nature/around. 

Metaphysical shops are only necessary for certain items. 

You can use more from your home than you think, look around in a different viewpoint. 

SIGILS. 

Gift shops (in America at least) have those boxes of tumbled rocks and you can find real rose quartz and tigers eye in there. 

Dirt, rocks, shells, sand, water all have easy to find correspondences, or you can make your own!

Pay attention to the wild plants in your area! They have things to teach you.

Take some packets of salt, sugar, honey, etc. from restaurants. 

You already have so many great herbs in your kitchen (hopefully!). Also herbal tea mixes are practically already mixed per intent (bedtime tea = relaxing).

Support witches online, most are reasonably priced AND have holiday deals and other specials which is too pure for this world. 

*A note on thrift stores: Sometimes you can find dirty plastic bags of crystals in random sections, like the decor section or by the fake plants or garden section. I’ve found this multiple times, because I always look!*

Personal Number & Dice Correspondences

These personal correspondences are taken from my own grimoire. I encourage anyone to make their own correspondences for anything, but I hope this provides at least some kind of insight or ideas. 

Numeral Major

The base numbers are 0-9, thus after 10 numbers will take on the properties of all of these numbers at the same time. The first number is like a leader, the main component of the meaning. The second number is a secondary trait in addition to or in compliment of the first. So on and so forth.

Self, center, ego, loneliness, selfishness, destruction, spirit, leadership, egotist, domineering

Unity, duality, emotion, relationship, romance, division

Family, togetherness, rivalry, happiness, expression, imbalance, obstacles, hurdles, scattered, unfinished

Order, authority, practical, management, dominated, brutality, authoritarian figure, power hungry

Social, horizon, vision, versatile, resourceful, religion, impatience, restless, lack of reason/logic/sense/knowledge

Intuition, passion, emotional, art, nurturing, sympathetic, unwanted attention, stolen love, lack of passion

Methodical, ability, independence, intelligence, studying, suspicious, hidden motives, lying, gullible, taken advantage of

Wisdom, surety, direction, good, judgement, decisive, stress, not thinking clearly, materialistic, impatient, oppression

Self, introspection, observation, selfless, creative, possessive, moody, careless, unwanted memories

0. Eternity, extremity, liminality, beyond, excessive, nothingness, less, death, as is, simplicity

A number in a secondary position gives the first number purpose. A third number gives it reasoning. A fourth gives it expression, and so on, a fifth gives it practical use, and so on. These meanings are the above expressions, minus one - where a second number in an expression give the first number purpose, as the number 1 expresses purpose. 

A number on it’s own simply is. _ is a single digit number that is (0). _ _ is a two digit number that gives more center and purpose (1). _ _ _ is a three digit number that gives reason and intuition (2), and so on. The number 64, for example, begins with (6) and is given orderly and managed purpose (4). 

Numeral Dice

D20

Each Number resides over an aspect and a duality of that aspect.

D4

plural, learning, growth, positive, self

D6

odds - negative - no ; even - positive - yes

The strength of yes/no can be added on by how many of an odd or even number there are, as well as by how large that number is. 6 is a very strong number and may outweigh 1, but 5 has a chance of being equal to 6 in terms of positive vs negative, yes vs no.

[morbidwinter]

If you’re a secret witch

Use a shoe box to hide your more obvious items.

Keep herbs stored in ziploc bags to easily conceal them.

Take up “rock collecting”.

Candles and incense because they “smell good!”

Use an Altoids tin as an altar.

Buy crystal jewelry.

Use perfume to cleanse.

Essential oils can be used in place of most herbs and are less obvious.

Get into cooking, buying herbs is justified then. Plus, kitchen magic!

Use old makeup/perfume/mason jars for spell jars.

You can use almost any necklace as a pendulum.

Use spice jars for tiny spell bottles.

Put an altar in a spare drawer.

Playing cards can be used in place of tarot cards and are very common.

There are a lot of virtual apps geared towards witches that are easily hidden.

You can put sigils, tiny crystals, among other things in lockets to hide them but be able to wear them.

Farmer’s almanacs are just as good as the witch geared ones if you add some information to them, and they are more mundane.

Acorn caps make good biodegradable offering cups.

Get into crafts! You can make some really cool witch stuff that can also just be taken as “artsy”.

Taking a few pinches from your parent’s kitchen cabinets is never a bad idea . Unless caught.

Store things in big, boring looking books.

Seashells and rocks with natural holes make great windchime elements.

You can say your bos/grimoire is a dream journal, which are fairly common and not suspicious.

Draw sigils on with lotion or washable marker.

A tea bag in your clothing drawer can help imbue clothing with the attributes of the tea you use.

Draw sigils on the bottom of your shoes.

Make a virtual altar instead of a physical one.

Always remember to clear that browsing history!

Draw small sigils on your nails then cover them with nailpolish.

Pretty much everything at a craft store can be used for witchcraft. Except maybe the older people who shop there.

You can buy really really small jars online and make them traveling spell jars.

You can enchant jewelry to keep spells close to you.

You can make friendship bracelets/lanyards with colors corresponding to your intent.

Enchanting something you wear daily like glasses or shoes with a ward is something that could be done if one doesn’t wear jewelry.

If you’re into sewing/cross-stitching: incorporate secret sigils into the design.

You can grow plant ingredients under the guise of eating healthier.

Buy soap/shampoo etc with scents to match different intents.

Pencil cases are inconspicuous!

You can use birthday candles instead of actual candles.

Obtaining scented candles a covert way of having colored candles… and if you want scentless you can just say you like the aesthetic but not the smell.

Bath salts can have magical intent and be just as effective as a for bath.

Doodling is a great way to cover up sigils in a notebook.

Grow plants. Collect rainwater. Say rainwater is for plants. Cackle to self.

Make a private discord server for taking to deities.

Threads that hang off of clothing or coats are good for thread magic so long as you don’t have to do a ton with them.

Cleaning and cleansing go hand in hand.

Virtual or sketched altar.

Usually the isle that carries Ethnic food carries SUPER cheap herbs.

All astrology is just you getting really into horoscopes.

If you want a more accurate birth chart, ask your parents for your time of birth. Say it’s out of curiosity.

Weird witch stuff lying around? You like the aesthetic from Charmed.

Sigils don’t have to be considered witchcraft. Say they’re like a good luck charm.

grimoire tip 🌱

long, encyclopedic lists of herbal correspondences are nice to have, but not really helpful for your personal practice if you don’t have access to all of them.

make a list of the herbs/spice/plants readily available to you from your garden, your kitchen, whatever you have, and spend some time writing out their correspondences. whenever you want to whip up a spell you have all the things you know you can use right there for you, a list of ingredients/substitutions ready based on your own accessibility.

ART WITCHES:

I cannot even begin to describe the love i have for watercolors as a tool in the craft.

Firstly, water is easily charged with energy. Moon water=calm, intuitive, nurturing feels to paintings. Sun water=bright, happy, confident, showy feels to paintings. Not to mention you can charge it with ANY SINGLE CRYSTAL, FLOWER, HERB, OR ESSENTIAL OIL YOU WANT. Thats so, so many correspondences that you can use to give an extra feel to your art.

Second, with painting, you immediately set your intention. What are you painting about? There’s your intention. Paint roses to attract love, the ocean to represent emotions, an owl to represent wisdom. Symbolic meanings make holding intention so!! easy!!

And then we have every color correspondance available to add to your work! Yellow for happiness or friendship! Blue for calm! Green for growth of healing!

It’s so super packed with energy, and it can be used for an array of witchy things. Paint an offering for your deity, paint a symbol to add power to your spell, paint to manifest what you want, paint sigils with all your colors and put them everywhere, paint a picture to hang in your room and give off good vibes all the time just! So many things!

This post is vague and unorganized but i just had to get it out there. Maybe i’ll post something more specific and cohesive later if you’re interested. Watercolors, my friends.

Also, my wand! Just the tip atm 🤐

Twine adorned with pieces of garnet and tiger's eye, with a shell for the tip. I want to add ribbon or silk to the handle-esque part of it, but I fear that might take too much of the wood's space! I want to carve and paint some sigils into it as well. Also i ran out of hot glue... R.I.P.

I've finally started my (bos? Grimoire? Its more of a reference book~ i keep my tarot readings and experiences in a binder) !!!

I just did some random collages in the first pages and started with the elements~

I still need to color it. I wish I could use watercolor but the paper is super thin 😭
