Minimal Witchcraft

When You Have Zero Energy

Witchcraft doesn’t always have to involve elaborate rituals or tools. Minimal and low-energy witchcraft can be just as fulfilling, focusing on intent and the simple, meaningful actions that resonate with you. On days when energy is low, embrace simplicity. A whispered affirmation or a moment of connection with nature can be a complete ritual.

Light a single candle.

Prepare a cup of tea. Stir clockwise for drawing positive energy and counterclockwise to release negativity.

Hold or keep a favorite stone or crystal in your pocket.

Whisper a blessing or a banishment.

Focus on your breathing. Inhale with intention and exhale any negativity or worry.

Draw or trace a simple sigil.

Sit or lie down where you can see the moon.

Take a cleansing shower. Let the water wash away any negative energy.

Touch a plant. Let it ground you.

Rest with purpose. Lie down and simply say: “I release what does not serve me. I welcome healing and renewal.”

Orphic Hymn to Hekate

Hekate of the Roads, lovely dame,

Of Earthly, watery, and celestial frame,

Sepulchral in saffron veil arrayed

Pleased with dark ghosts

Who wander through the shade

Persian huntress, world’s key bearer we hail

On the rough rock to wander thee delights

Leader and nurse, be present to our rites

Propitious grant our just desires success

Accept our homage and the incense bless

Guide our fortunes, gift us with your grace

Daughter of Perses, mistress of silence

Goddess of moon and clairvoyance

Wanderer of the wilds, ever leading

Dogs and deer, and tides receding

Please hear our prayers, help us to be wise

[buriedpentacles]

I believe in peppermint for nausea, ginger for an upset stomach and antibiotics for meningitis.

I use tarot for self reflection, spellwork to move forward in my life and therapy to ensure I'm mentally well.

I meditate, I do yoga and breath work but SSRIs saved my life and amethyst will not cure my anxiety.

Science and magic are not enemies, they are not opposites or contradictions. Respect them both and use them as needed.

Prayers to Hermes:

Swift Hermes, provider of fair fortune, who travels freely among the worlds.

In pennies found, in laughter and delight, in messages trifling and essential, in unexpected twists of our life's plan, with these you touch us, genial son of Zeus.

Hermes, guide of souls, light-hearted one, swift as thought; you know the depth of impulse, quick-witted god of those who live by luck.

We thank you for the path unworn, for cleverness, for gifts unearned, for change unbidden.

Excellent Hermes, we praise and honor you.

2. Keen-minded Hermes, light fingered one, light footed one, quick and cunning, bright and merry, ever watchful, ever agile, ever sharp of wit. The wings at your feet carry you to any landing-place, in any realm; wearing the cap of Aidoneus, you tarry, unseen by mortal men. Wielder of the golden sword, player on the shepherds pipe, god of herdsmen, god of thieves, god of cities and of pastures, rustic and urbane, you walk the line between contradictions. Hermes of the borderland, Hermes of the threshold, god of the uncertain, consistent and contrary, you stand in the doorway, you stand at the edge; the knife-sharp boundary between two worlds is yours.

Hermes, child of rich-tressed Maia and thundering Zeus, Ithank you for your many gifts, I praise your might.

3. Hermes of the ready wit and the lightning smile, Wing-footed one who carries the words of the gods,

Compassionate one who guides the newly-dead to the hall of Hades and fair Persephone, Quick-thinking one who takes interest in the world and works of mankind, whose hand we see in a run of luck and a clever scheme, I call to vou.

Hermes, bearer of the herald's staff, your gifts

are great.

You guard our homes with constancy and care,

You grant to us a portion of your own craft and wile,

You join with us when we revel and are merry, You stand with us when we are far from home, alone.

You are ever with us, O Hermes;

He who holds in hand the good of men, I honor you

4. Swift Hermes,

Provider of fair fortune.

He who guides travellers,

He who treasures wit and humor, I reach out to you.

Grant me peace,

Grant me protection, And I shall give you My devotion.

5. May Hermes bless you with safe travels, and protect you from theives.

Your offering is good enough.

Your prayer is perfect the way it is

Your altar does not have to be extravagant or expensive. Simple ones are just as powerful.

You are good enough. The gods love you and want the best for you. They are here to lift us up, so don’t beat yourself down.

I don't know who needs to hear this today but;

Your gods don't hate you.

Celebration of the Fourth Ritual

Happy Wednesday to you all! Welcome to the first Celebration of the Fourth ritual! There will be a closeted-friendly option at the bottom of the post for those who can't be open about their practice.

The Ritual

Set up the ritual altar. You will need imagery of Hermes/his symbols, flowers, a cup, an offering, and incense. For the imagery, use whatever works best for you. His symbols, his sacred animals, whatever you're able to use. Place down the flowers, then the imagery, then the cup in front of them, then the incense. Place down the offering. Pour a libation into the cup. Preferably water, wine, or mead. Surround it and the offering with coins, all heads up (Either surround them together or separately. Whichever you prefer). Light the incense. Then it's time to pray. You can pray your own prayer or use the example prayer below.

Khaire Lord Hermes Ericydes, splendid and glorious one!

Thank you for your presence in my life.

I give this offering to you.

May it be pleasing in your eyes.

To you, my Great Lord!

Then move around. Do whatever movement you're capable of. Whether it's just sitting up in a bed or taking a long drive (if you leave the house be careful with the incense). You can walk, run, dance, exercise, etc. As long as you're up and moving you're good. Once finished, return to the altar for the closing prayer.

Again, you may use your own prayer or follow the example one below.

Khaire Hermes Cratus, strong and mighty one! I give this offering to you.

I praise and honor you, glorious one.

May my steps be swift and strong.

May my path be clear and bright.

May my words be clever and powerful.

And may this offering be honoring to you.

To the Great Lord Hermes!

Feel free to leave the altar up or take it down. Make sure to properly dispose of the offerings in the best way that you can realistically manage if they can go bad.

Please feel free to share your altars either by tagging the temple account in your post or by submitting them through asks or submissions here!

Closet-Friendly Version

Find some sort of imagery to represent Lord Hermes. Whatever you're capable of finding. Anything will do, just make sure to put some thought into it. Find a flower outside and bring it in. Place it on or in front of the item you're using to represent Lord Hermes. Light incense or a candle if possible. If you're able to, leave an offering. If not, it's alright. The flower can be the main offering. Say the first prayer (out loud or in your head, either works). After that, get up and move around as much as possible. Sit up, walk, dance, exercise, drive, whatever you can do. Then come back and recite the closing prayer. Feel free to either leave up the altar or take it down immediately. Return the flower outside. If you have other offerings, dispose of those in any way that you safely can if they can go bad.

Feel free to share pictures if you're able to!!
