Attraction spells
Here are two attraction spells that you can do to attract romantic(and or non romantic) love, relationships, and passion into your life. This is how I do the spells; you can use what you have on hand. I burned both of these spells at the same time but you can do one at a time if that’s what you feel like. I also burned 3 bay leaves with my intentions while waiting for my spell to finish. 🫶
These spells work best on the full moon, or waxing. From 12am-1am
1) Moon water attraction spell
Supplies:
- bowl
- mirror
- moon water
- rose oil
- red candle
- rose quartz
- cinnamon stick
- lavender
- jasmine
- red pepper
- butterfly pea flower
- hibiscus
Carve intentions into you candle, and stick it to the bottom of the bowl. Set the bowl on top of the mirror after you draw a sigil onto the mirror. Once done with that pour your moon water into the bowl. Add all your herbs/flowers into the water. Light candle and stir your intentions in with the cinnamon stick and meditate on your intentions.
2) Attraction candle spell
Supplies:
- dish
- red candle
- rose quartz
- clear quartz
- salt
- pink himalayan salt
- sugar
- basil
- cinnamon
- rose petals
- jasmine
Mix the sugar, salt, pink salt, herbs, and flowers together in your dish, with your left hand, setting your intentions as well. I used a heart dish that my cat knocked over and broke. Carve your full name into the candle, and then anoint the candle with the rose oil. Place the candle in the dish and light. Meditate on your intentions.
‼️remember to burn things in a well ventilated area‼️
‼️and do love spells of any kind with caution‼️
happy witching friends !

Spell Bags
What Are Spell Bags?
Spell Bags are usually small bags that contain a range of ingredients linked to the intention of your spell. They can sometimes be known as different names, or have slight cultural differences. For the purpose of this post I will refer to a spell bag, but they may also be called spell sachets, charm bags, and in some cultures, mojo bags (please do your own research). You can also make spell jars, which are pretty much the same, only you use a jar and not a bag.
Bag Colors
Gold - wealth, protection, the God Silver - prosperity, the moon, the Goddess Yellow - healing Orange - travel, communication, messages Green - nature, growth, prosperity, abundance, friendship Blue - peace, calm, wisdom, benevolence Purple - wisdom, wealth, grandeur, mysteries, justice Red - success, romance, strength, protection Pink - love, healing, friendship Black - absorbs negative energy
How to Make a Spell Bag
Think about your intention for making the spell bag… Why are you making it?… What do you want to get from it?
Think about ingredients you want to put into the spell bag and their correspondences… What ingredients will fit into your spell bag?… What specific ingredients are associated with your intentions (for example, what herbs are used for protection)
Collect your bag and ingredients, and focus your intent on each of them. You may also want to write a magickal chant. This can be simply read out, or written down to leave inside the spell bag.
Assemble your spell bag.
Spend time either meditating on your intention, or reciting your magickal chant.
Find a place to put your spell bag. This may simply be on your altar, or in your pocket. Alternatively, there may be a specific place you want to put it (such as by your bed for a sleep spell bag, or in the corner of your room for protection).

The Witch of the forest
Occultists, witches and spiritualists really need to stop peddling the lie that spirituality, witchcraft, paganism, etc. isn’t a psychological phenomenon as well as a mystical one. Your psychology will in fact, fundamentally inform your experiences with spirituality.
And we also need to stop pretending that spirituality and witchcraft are somehow contrary to mental illness. Or that having a mental illness means you can’t do witchcraft.
I’ll be completely honest with you guys and say that certain people with certain afflictions are more predisposed to different “mystical” experiences than others. I don’t think it’s a great coincidence that I am so great at visualization given that I was raised in a severely neglectful household. It doesn’t surprise me that many pagans are lonely people. This doesn’t mean to say that spirituality is “filling” a hole within anyone (although if it is, that’s great for you) but more so that, well, this path is unpopular for a reason. Alternative subcultures are alternative for a reason, and outcasts and rejects usually find a home there for a reason.
This also doesn’t mean to say that people who engage in witchcraft and spiritualism are inherently mentally ill. There is still a difference between hallucinations and spiritual encounters. And there was never any rule that said that both of these things cannot happen to a single person. For the safety of yourself and others we should be aware of the warning signs of dissociation and hallucination, but that doesn’t make anyone “wrong” for experiencing those things. And experiencing those things doesn’t mean you cannot explore spirituality or do witchcraft.
I hate it when “spiritualists” who are actually just anti-vax conservatives push the narrative that people with mental health issues cannot participate in spirituality. I also despise the notion that mental health issues are inherently a sign of an energetic imbalance. We’re all walking around with a special concoction of brain soup in our heads, it doesn’t surprise me that Ares devotees tend to have BPD, that many Aphrodite devotees struggle with self harm, that many people who work with angels have paranoia or generalized anxiety.
There was never any rule that said that you cannot use your deities or magic to help you cope with your mental health. I know some people will say “the Gods aren’t here to be your friend or hold your hand through life” but I’ve seen no evidence to suggest that’s true. I see no reason why a God like Ares couldn’t help his devotee with BPD come down after a bout of rage, I see no reason why Dionysus couldn’t help his devotee with their alcoholism or substance abuse, I see no reason why Aphrodite couldn’t help a devotee with relapse or negative self talk.
Witchcraft and paganism were historically used as a tool for survival, to bring people ease, to help people feel safe and secure, blessed and protected. That applied to all people, including those with mental health issues.
Not even limited to witchcraft or pagan faiths either. This applies to religion and spirituality in GENERAL.
People out here talking about religion and spirituality and philosophy like they're not all fundamentally driven by human psychology and have developed as tools to address our basic psychological needs. The three biggest questions we ask as a species are What's Going On, Why Is This Happening, and How Do I Deal With It To Best Ensure My Survival. Religious and spiritual practices have revolved around these central themes since forever. Different names, different practices, different flavors, but always the same core issues - what's happening, why is it happening, how do we cope.
If you use your practice or your faith as a tool to help with your mental health, wonderful! If it works, then it helps. We don't knock the life preserver for the form it takes. As long as you're also taking practical steps, it's all good. Considering the number of deities and saints and suchlike whose historical purviews included dealing with "madness" or "melancholy" or various maladies we now know to be symptoms of mental illness, this is an idea with some very long legs. If you can pray for assistance with physical healing, you can pray for the same with mental and emotional healing too. If AA can tout Christian prayer as a method for coping with addiction and its' underlying causes, why shouldn't petitioning pagan gods be just as valid for dealing with our issues?
(All that being said - talk to your doctor, understand your symptoms, and take your meds too. Modern medicine works WITH your spirituality, not against it. Don't fall into the anti-science fundie pipeline, kids.)
All I want to say here in addition is that some people are mean and gate-keepy. These posts above are so right and true, and I am currently working to repair my relationships with my gods, that I had moved away from because someone told me I was wrong and disrespectful to think of my gods as my friends. Why would any God give a shit about one stupid mortal? But it has been really hard for me, because a part of my derealization centers around relationships in my life, and my fear that it's all in my head, and they are not real.
It stole something from me that had been a source of safety and comfort me to have someone tell me I was wrong to think of my gods this way, and It has taken me years to even break that idea and start healing.
The relationships i have with my gods are necessarily in my head, and can never not be. And it does not invalidate them. Or make them less important.
I sometimes hear Loki speak to me. As though he is whispering over my left shoulder into my ear. I can hear the words, and his breath and the movement of his lips because they are close to my ear. I know Loki is a big God, with lots of followers and I am no one.
But he shared with me that a God is their own thing, and the ideas that people have of them. And the Idea that I have of him whispers of love. Of relief that I came back to a place where my belief could allow me to hear him again, in a way that spoke of sorrow at the prospect that we missed time together, and the thought that I may never have come around at all.
Bisexuals. Start killing
Idk how to explain but Loki energy
Your deities care. You do not go left unseen or unheard. It will be ok. May your deities hold your hand through your most difficult moments and remind you always of your strength and resilience. 🧡
The other day, in a server I'm in, someone described Loki's methods as "I'm going to break your bone again so that it heals right this time", and I've just been thinking about that a lot.

One of my favorite kennings for Loki is "farmr Sigvinjar arma", which translates roughly to "the cargo of Sigyn's arms". Add a little Gustav Klimt to the equation, and you have an idea that's been plaguing me for months.
Loki’s Faces
I get that this is mostly considered “UPG” however, I didn’t really create all of this inside of my own head so it’s not personal. It is observed behavior from Loki during my years of time working closely with Him and in relation to others.
I don’t think any resource ever has done Him any justice and I think it’s the best practice to just not assume anything people write about Him here or otherwise is factual or evidence of His character.
Loki is controversial - but only because you cannot place Him under one single signifier. He is accessible but not because He is interested in being everyone’s friend - in fact, I’ve never really known Him to tolerate just anyone and He actively doesn’t.
The standards He has for those - humans as well as Gods - who He allows to see His true face are high.
Those who are just around for show tend to not see the entirety of who He is and instead see what He isn’t. He wears different masks for different reasons and not because He is them - they are apart of Him, but they do not define Him.
Most people will likely never see the fullest extent of Loki if only because they can’t or don’t want to. So much mixed information goes around in His community because people don’t often see who He is beneath all of the grandiosity and playfulness.
Otherwise, He is extremely private and keeps to Himself most of the time. You’ll find He doesn’t share information about Him to just anyone. He also doesn’t go out of His way to show just Himself to people, either.
It’s intentional that not everyone gets to see His truest form or nature. It would be like showing everyone your hand in poker. When all of the cards are thrown, you have the power to be defeated. Loki uses His secrecy to His advantage and tends to only show people what they want to see because it’s easier than giving them the benefit to having any sort of power over His moves in the game.
The point of this is to say most people don’t really know Loki. When I say “most” I’m not talking about only a select group of people do know Him, I mean mostly, people don’t know that He isn’t obvious about His most truthful intentions, personality, and otherwise unless He chooses to be.
I’ve been led down false paths by Him that lead to dead ends for years. I’ve been told false things that I really only told myself were true that He let me believe because it suited what He wanted from me.
I stayed in groups I thought were good for me because I thought that’s what He wanted for me. I stayed with people because I thought He wanted me to stay with them because He wanted me to power through difficult things.
In reality, Loki is an extremely discerning and opinionated Deity and would sooner have told me what He really wanted for me had it not also developed who I am as an individual and given me the power of discerning Him from my own false narrative and belief about Him. He has let me fail and believe false things about Him and others so I can get to the truth of the nature of my relationship with Him and also the truth of the people around me.
Loki is a trickster. Not because He lies or tells people false things, or because He’s full of jokes and games or leads them into chaos but He let’s them believe things that are false to show otherwise. He shows people some of who He is if it suits the way He intends on it going. He doesn’t show anyone the cards in His hand unless He knows it’ll be kept secret and hidden or if it suits His intention.
The best thing you can possibly do with Loki is to allow Him to show you Himself. Allow yourself to be part of the game and allow yourself to be shown the truth. You’re going to fail in front of Him and it will probably be miserable, but that’s part of the strategy. You’re also going to be proven wrong many times.
He will let you go in circles until He can convince you what He wants you to do. He will let you believe things about Him or others even when it hurts your feelings. He won’t try to convince you unless you’re willing to listen and give it the benefit of the doubt.
If things haven’t changed for you, if you keep having the same issue again and again, it’s probably because there’s more to it than whatever you think He is trying to say.
People who don’t like Loki or get uncomfortable by Him only tend to do so because they don’t like what they see in themselves because of Him. They don’t actually know who He is. And they likely won’t.
Trust is a reward for the failure. Trust in Him and trust in yourself because it is not handed to you willingly. If you can’t listen to your inner guidance, you’ll never really know the truth anyway and you’ll never fully listen, either. The reward is always greater than the cost in the end. Loki is generous to those who wander and those who are willing to get lost along the way.
Hey there. Normalize unconventional divination or worship. Just because it's not in a book or an article does not invalidate what helps you.
Is your relationship with your deity different from other practitioners? Who cares. It's your personal journey. This isn't an organized religion, you have the ability to pace yourself, think outside the box and learn what works for you as an individual.
