Witchy Baths Masterpost

Here is a big masterpost of different types of baths for different types of witches! Use these baths before or after witchcraft to pump yourself up or to wind down. And you do not have to be any specific type of witch to use any of these baths. Any witch can use them.

Note: Many of these baths call for crystals. Research crystals before getting them wet. Many of them listed you should not put in water, instead keep them at the edge of your tub or near it.

Sea Witch Bath

Kelp Powder (1 tsp)

Sea Salt (½ tsp)

Coconut Oil (1 spoonful)

Coconut Water (½ cup)

Sea Glass, Sea shells, aquamarine, ocean jasper, abalone, pearl, larimar, coral, sand dollars and/or clear quartz

Wood Spoon

Blue and white candles (optional- ocean scented ones)

Steps: Light your candles before filling the tub. Once you start filling the tub add your coconut oil, coconut water, sea salt and kelp powder. With your spoon stir clockwise to help mix in the powder, which can take a bit. The water should turn a faint green tint (the more kelp you add the greener it gets but also the stronger the smell gets). Line your tub’s edge with your sea glass, sea shells, and gemstones. Be sure not to let the gemstones fall in the water, especially if they are ones that can’t get wet. Get into your tub and enjoy.

Note: Kelp powder smells very strongly of kelp, it is a scent I personally like but a lot of people don’t. Air out your bathroom a bit after the bath to disperse the smell. Also if you do not wish to smell like kelp yourself, rinse off after your bath quickly.

Swamp Witch Bath

Kelp Powder (2 spoonfuls)

Clay or Bath Mud like Moor Mud (read label for how much to use)

Green and brown candles

Wooden Spoon

Snail shells, alligator teeth, rounded rocks and any green gemstones you may have

Optional- Moss if you have potted moss to keep on the edge of the tub (or a moss bathmat)

Steps: Light your candles then begin to fill your tub. Add in your kelp powder and the mud, using your wooden spoon stir clockwise to mix. Depending on the type of mud/clay you are using the water will either turn very green to a dark brown. Line your tub with your gemstones, rocks, teeth and snail shells. If you are bringing in a moss plant or other plants keep them near the tub. Get into the tub and relax, if your moss is a stepable type of moss and in reach you can rub your fingers in it as you relax.

Note: Like the sea witch bath, you may want to air out the bathroom after your bath. This bath will smell much stronger of kelp and you may want to shower afterwards to avoid smelling strongly of kelp. You may have to rinse your tub to rid of mud used.

Forest Witch Bath

Pine Needles

Pinecones

Pine essential oil (2 drops)

3 bags of green or black tea

Add your tea bags into the water, line your tub with the pinecones and get in.

🔔 BELLS IN WITCHCRAFT 🔔

Bells might just be the earliest form of superstitious practise that I remember. My baba attached three sakura-patterned suzu bells on my schoolbag as a kid, purportedly for good luck and protection from evil spirits – and Japan is far from the only place to have associated bells and bellringing with mystic practise. They’ve been used worldwide to ward off evil and carry messages – and in a more metaphysical sense, sound is the movement of energy through substance. Sounds have the potential to work powerful magic.

Here are some of the ways I’ve found utilising bells to be helpful to my craft. While I’m more likely to use traditional suzu type bells, your own background, path and culture will likely have its own types of bells – and as ever, bells can be ornate antiques or they can be a bottle cap in a tin can, as long as they’re used with intent.

GETTING STARTED

🔔 As with so much of the craft, if you’re new to the witching bell, it’s a matter of exploration and experimentation. Get a “feel” for what works for you and the specific bell you’re using.

🔔 It’s good practise to ensure that the bell itself is cleansed, warded and protected – you don’t want anything nasty tapping into that power. All witching tools can do as much harm as good, intentional or accidental.

🔔 A good way to begin incorporating bells into your craft is infuse them into any typical ritual that you’re comfortable with, or even just a prayer or moment of contemplation at your altar if you have one.

🔔 Give the bell a soft ring while focusing on the energy it’ll ripple and move, try to track the movements it creates and what it touches. The tone it’s sending out.  The most primal and versatile use of the bell – and what many of the below come down to – is simply another manner of physically channelling energy, giving it shape and direction.

PROTECTION

🔔 “Passive” bells such as windchimes or small bells attached to belongings you don’t want disturbed are a starting point. They will scare off some forms of spirit all by themselves, especially if appropriately blessed, charmed or enchanted. Or cursed.

🔔 Gently tolling can draw energy into a ward or circle you are forming and enforce its protective properties, or for a simple cleanse, letting the sound travel to every corner of the area you are protecting. It’s a little more “cutting” than a smoke or incense cleansing, which I view as more “gentle” forms of cleansing. Both have their uses.

🔔 Harder tolling is, in my opinion, one of the most powerful ways in which to enforce a banishing – however, it’s best to you know what you’re doing with the bell before you go bashing it about.

DISCERNMENT

🔔 Bells can have quite the effect on your perception and awareness. Ringing and then stopping, listening to the silence left in its wake, can bring you new perceptions or make things you’d previously missed obvious. Let it attune your mind and senses to something new, whether that’s in your thoughts or something with a little more presence. Visualise travelling with the sound, taking heed of the energies it touches and disturbs. Take note of the echoes – you’ll learn what they mean with experience.

🔔 A set of windchimes can let you know if something is passing through or if there’s some unusual energy afoot – and, yes, it may also just be letting you know that it’s a particularly breezy day, but that’s witchcraft for you.

CONJURING

🔔 This can be as simple as calling good energies to witching tools, spell jars, tarot decks, crystals, altars and shrines, your favourite teddy bar, anything at all.

🔔 With spirit work, it can truly help to magnify your “calling”. This can range from gently bringing your latest offering to the attention of your friendly neighbourhood house spirit – all the way to trying to catch the attention of something more. Be mindful, however. As I said, I consider bells pretty powerful tools and a call that’s too loud is not good spirit work practise for the spirit worker’s own sake. It can really help coax something out of hiding if you’re gentle with it, though.

COMMUNING

🔔 Some use bells to mark the beginning and end of a ritual, and I’ve read that in Wiccan practise an altar bell can be used to invoke the Goddess, although as a non-Wiccan, I’ll welcome corrections on that if I’m wrong.

🔔 In my experience, very simple forms of communication via bell work a lot better than anything too complex – “come here” and “stay away” have already been covered, and other than that they can serve as greetings or signals of a start or end of some practise or ritual, the opening or closing of a door, etc.

🔔 They can also serve as a warning or a litmus test regarding spirits, a signalling of your presence and awareness, lack of fear, or willingness to defend – but be prepared to deal with whatever responses these garner.

BINDING

🔔 Bindings are where you most often see that famous (clockwise) circular motion of the bell, embodying the meaning of the spell. This can be a simple binding to seal a spell or charm or enchantment, or a spirit-binding.

🔔 Personally, spirit-binding is something I do as little as possible simply due to my beliefs holding the autonomy of spirits in very high regard. However, sometimes situations arise that call for it, and I’m aware that not all bindings are unwilling. Far from it – and some spirits are dangerous when unbound.

🔔 As an animist (believing that all things, including inanimate objects, contain a spirit of their own), I consider gently nudging a spirit back into its physical form a sort of semi-binding, and that can be useful.

I’ll leave you all with a note that I am an urban apartment-dwelling witch through and through, so I understand that we can’t all be jangling away at all hours. I myself have a glass windchime in my front window that makes a distinct but muted sound when disturbed by passers-through, and highly recommend wooden ones also. I also only use my small and relatively quiet suzu bell for my crafting – one given to me by my baba herself.

Feel free to add any of your own findings, and happy tolling.

[thepiscesactor-deactivated20121]

Just an experiment. Reblog if you actually give a fuck about male victims of domestic violence and rape.

[minotaursauce]

Of fucking course

What sick bastard doesn’t

[xaldien]

“You’d be surprised”, said Xaldien, who just lost four followers and received a lovely “men can’t be raped” anon shortly after reblogging this the first time.

[minotaursauce]

Yowch, disgusting.

[samuraiko]

If I don’t reblog this, assume I’m dead.

[glory-of-hera-blog]

Always reblog this

[nygmobblepot-der-pool-deactivat]

If you Dont reblog this if u see it then i cant call u my friend

[witchofthefuture]

IF ANYONE TELLS ME THAT MEN CAN’T BE VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND RAPE, I AM SICKENED BY THEIR MERE PRESENCE ON MY BLOG.

If you disagree with me, unfollow my blog, block me and never look at my blog again.

If you want to debate about this or send anon’s about this, I will reply but your actions have consequences.

[witchofthefuture]

Out of 19000+ followers I have, only one of you actually reblogged about this issue, yet a lot of you have reblogged and liked a picture by playboy about catcalling and that how men should never do it.

Additionally, I have received abuse in my ask box (which I will be answering when I can) and threats. In particular death threats and rape threats.

I can see the real problem here already. Male domestic violence and rape is just invisible in our society because we don’t want to talk about this because it just damages the status quo of this fucking website.

[tarothy-deactivated20230301]

I’m a male victim of child sexual abuse. We matter. Please, reblog this.

[happerbunny-deactivated20211002]

Please never forget male victims are real and it can happen to everyone/anyone

[bevvitchedbittch]

I’ll always reblog this, and if you don’t believe men can be raped, get your sexist parading-around-as-a-femanist ass out of my blog :)

Paint the Mirrors Black: Binding/Banishing Thing

Inspired by a song; this spell is to help you forget about an ex-partner / lover who was abusive, or just a negative presence in your life. You can also use this spell to help yourself move on from a bad relationship.

*This spell requires reflection on negative experience(s); if you are unable to do that for whatever reason, this may not be the best spell for you.

NEEDED:

a mirror; a handheld mirror is best for this (i.e. pocket mirror, make-up mirror, etc.); you can easily get one at the dollar store

black paint and a paint brush

some fabric to wrap the mirror in (an old t-shirt is fine)

a hammer

Set up your altar / work space by laying down scrap paper or old newspaper and readying your supplies, as well as any other actions you take before spell work.

Hold the mirror and close your eyes. Reflect on all the negative / harmful / abusive things this person has done to you. Remember how bad you were made to feel because of their actions, and project all that negativity into the mirror. You can either channel it through your body and arms, and out through your hands, or you can take in deep cleansing breaths, and exhale the negativity out and into the mirror. (If you have another method feel free to use that, just expel these feelings out of you and into the mirror.) Once you have removed as much of the negativity from your system as you can, set the mirror down on the paper and paint it. As you apply the paint, say / think / modify the following:

I paint this mirror black to forget you I no longer hear you in my mind I no longer see you in my dreams I no longer feel you in my heart The pain you once caused me is no more Any influence you once had is no more The thoughts and feelings are no more Trapped inside the mirror, bound in black You are gone from my life And gone you shall stay

Once your mirror is completely covered in the black paint, set it somewhere where you won’t see it often to dry (like on top of a cupboard or in a closet, etc.). Once it is completely dry, take it out and wrap it up in the fabric. Go outside with it, and bring the hammer. Set the wrapped-up mirror on solid ground and smash it. Channel any feelings of rage / hatred / etc. you have left in regards to the person or situation into the smashing of the mirror. As you do so, say / think / modify the following:

As this mirror breaks and shatters So does your hold on me I am free of your bonds Free of your [abuse / lies / manipulation / whatever they did to you] No more will you haunt me No longer shall you influence me You will never come back

Continue the smashing as long as you like. When you are done, rid yourself of the mirror, either by throwing it out or burying it somewhere away from your home.

Witch Locator Map!

The other day, @wandsbrewsandbroomsticks posed a question on her blog.  She asked, “Why isn’t there like a dating app or social app (besides Tumblr) for witches?”  And that gave me a brilliant idea!

What if there was a way to pull up a map and see where other witches were in correlation to where I was?  I have seen it done before, so I decided to go out and search!

INTRODUCING THE WITCH LOCATOR MAP!

Browse the map and see where witches are!  Check out links to their blogs and see others who share your similar interests!

But how do I enter in my own information?  That’s easy.

At the top, there is a section called Additions.  Click there and then hit Add Marker.  From there, fill out the following sections this way:

Under the Location Tab **ENTRY NAME:  @yourtumblrname **LOCATION:  your city **MARKER:  pick a color

Under the Details Tab **DESCRIPTION:  a brief description of what kind of witchcraft you practice and other details. **EMAIL AND PHONE:  do not fill this section out.  We don’t want you giving out personal information that can endanger you! **WEBSITE:  your Tumblr url.

Under the Media Tab **UPLOAD:  share a small picture of yourself or something that represents your blog!

Finish up by clicking Submit!  After that, share with your followers by reblogging this post!

There are rules to this though, witches! 1.  Do not abuse the map.  If you spam an area or harass someone, you will be removed from the map and IP banned from accessing it. 2.  Do not be creepy.  Some people may choose not to reply to any messages you send.  Don’t continue to bother them. 3.  Do not post lewd photos or NSFW content on the map.  We have witches of all ages accessing this map and want it to be an open and safe community. 4.  Do not edit or manipulate other markers.  Like I mentioned before, I can track your IP and you don’t want a mama witch gettin’ mad at ya. 5.  If you are under 18, please ask your guardians’ permission to put your information on the map.

SHARE THIS WITH YOUR FOLLOWERS!  ADD YOURSELF AND MEET OTHER WITCHES IN YOUR AREA!  HAVE FUN AND BE SAFE!

**If you need help with the map, just let me know.

ENJOY!

This is just a reminder for everyone, because I keep seeing this come up:

If you are not of Native blood, you do not have a spirit animal. Native American religions are closed to outsiders, and the term spirit animal is NOT interchangeable with other terms. You may have a familiar, or a patronus, but you do not have a spirit animal.

Please do not use Native terminology or beliefs if you are not of Native blood. This goes triply for sales - it is actually illegal to sell things described or tagged as “Native American” “Indian” or any Native group’s name (Cherokee, Nahuatl, ect.) if you are not a recognized member of one of those groups.

[angelsblooming]

THIS IS SO IMPORTANT!!!!! STOP USING THIS, ESPECIALLY IN THE WITCH COMMUNITY!!!! YOU ARE NOT NATIVE IF YOU ARE 0.2% CHEROKEE!!!!

[dancing-pagan]

YES. IT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW AND UNDERSTAND YOUR ETHNICITY AND RESPECT OTHER'S

[dancing-pagan]

Ways to Appreciate the Sea for Landlocked Sea Witches

• listen to the sounds of waves breaking

-Youtube is free

• listen to music relating to the ocean

-I recommend the song Behind the Sea by Panic! at the Disco

• make an aesthetic collage relating to the water. Include pretty colours pictures of the sea(ex. blues, greens, greys..)

-print those bad boys out and put them in school binders or just up on your wall

-post em online! Everyone loves a good aesthetic

• learn about a certain marine animal that you are interested in

• research the types of shells and what they mean

• make a cute ocean jar with sand, salt water, shells, and anything else you relate to the sea

• make seashell jewellery

• buy and take care of a pet fish(do research on their needs!!)

Keep swimmin

A little sea witchling,

••How Meditation is Helping me••

Recently I started meditating to help battle my anxiety. I have gotten to a point where ive missed 88 classes and I've only been in school for about 10 weeks. I'm so desperate for things that can help me and I heard that meditation can help people understand their thoughts more. I was very willing to try and here I am now. I also read that meditation is a way to get in touch with powers as well. Being a new witch, I want to try anything that will help me understand this all a little more.

How Meditation Helps Me in the Moment

• lowers blood pressure

• helps me sleep

• makes me happier

• relax to the max

How I Hope it Will Effect Me in the Long Run

• teach me to center my thoughts away from negativity

• help me become more aware of my mind

How it has Helped Me so far

• I can remind myself sometimes to focus on breathing when I start thinking negatively

• I sleep better after meditating at night

Would I Recommend it?

Of course! Even if I find that this isn't extremely effective, I will definitely still meditate to ground myself and my thoughts. I believe that everyone should at least try it. Witch or not, it is always good to be in touch with your own mind.

I use the app "simple habit". Simple habit is free and has some free meditations, but you mostly have to pay for everything. I am yet to find a completely free app but if you haopen to know of any, please message me! Thank you guys.

A baby sea witch,

Erin
