✨ Types of magick ✨

Elemental: This magick is practiced by honouring/acknowledging the elements: Water, Earth, Air, Fire and Spirit, and incorporating them into your spellwork. Those who practice elemental magick usually dedicate different areas of the altar to each element, and call upon them during spells and rituals.

Lunar: This type of magick honours the moon and it’s energy and phases. When practicing kind of magick most people prefer to work during the night hours rather than during the day.

Green: This is the practice of gathering plants, herbs and flowers and using them in herbal magick, this can be done by creating mixes/blends of different plants or primally using plants, herbs and flowers in spellwork.

Hedge: A type of magick oriented around more spiritual practice like astral projection, lucid dreaming, spiritwork and healing.

Kitchen: Magick that is worked specifically through kitchen tasks, such as herbal mixtures, brewing, baking, and cooking. This practice honours many aspects of the natural world; including herbs, flowers, crystals, fey, and the elements.

Cottage: Taking a step further from kitchen magick, this way of working is weaved into every day tasks around the house, including tasks for loved ones, such as cooking, cleaning etc.

Garden: Magick that is mostly, if not all herbal and botanical-related. A witch that practices garden magick will feel closely connected to earth and could be considered a green witch.

Crystal: Magick that works with stones and crystals. Many witches use this form of practice as it’s so reliable, as well as having a vast range of crystals with even wider range of properties to choose from, wether it’s using crystals in healing techniques or chakra balance and crystal meditation, they have so many magickal uses to try!

Faery/Fey: ! DO NOT TRY THIS AS A BABY WITCH ! This Magick is based around the fae and faeries, and the communication with them during spells and rituals.

Chaos: A form of magick using new, non-traditional methods, in which the practitioner push their will and intention through the universe. It’s a very new and individualistic practice, with may fragments from other common forms of magick. Sigils would fall under this category.

Bone: This magick involves collecting and use animal bones in practice.

Grey: A neutral practice, witches that work with grey magick neither benefits or harms others. Grey magick may also both harm and benefit at the same time, balancing and neutralizing.

Space: Magick that involves working with the planets and stars, by focusing their magick and incorporating properties of each/ planet(s).

Divination: This magickal practice involves using tools to be able to predict the future, ask questions and receive guidance. Tools incude: tarot, pendulum, wax readings etc.

Dream work: This magick involves keeping a ‘dream diary’, in which you can study your dreams to gain better perspective, not only in a psychological sense but in a psychic one too.

Spirit work: Those who practice spirit work talk to spirits to help find guidance, usually though tools. This can be partially helpful for those who work with Deities.

Shadow work: Shadow work is the magickal process of exploring your inner darkness, or ‘shadow self’. This practice uncovers all the repressed traumas, and helps you find a brighter path to enlightenment.

beauty magic

🌿✨🌼🕊🌱

self care routines are obviously so important, as are nice little treats for yourself; ive definitely been slacking on both so i wanted to brainstorm some spellwork that would help me along, hope this is helpful for anyone else out there looking to get back into the rhythm of things :) little note that about everything here will keep in the fridge for up to 7-10 days, other than the coconut oil which will keep for a good two weeks or so

[ ‘fresh start’ cleansing body scrub ]

- sea salt

- moon water

- honey

- rosemary

- lemon zest

[ assembly ]

grind together your salt and rosemary, then mix together your water and honey separately and fold into your salt mix, (something like a 2;1 honey to water ratio should be enough water to make it easier to mix but not enough to dissolve the salt) then gently fold in your lemon zest!

- 🍃

[ ‘funk killer’ self love face scrub ]

- sugar

- lavender buds

- rose petals

- thyme

- sunflower oil (olive oil charged in the sun for a bit is a great substitute!)

[ assembly ]

evenly grind together your sugar, lavender, rose petals, and thyme, then fold in a few drops of your oil at a time until it reaches a consistency you’re pleased with

- 🌱

[ ‘bump begone’ after-shave moisturizer ]

- coconut oil

- rosemary

- mint

- lemon balm

- lavender

[ assembly ]

get your coconut oil into a small pot over the lowest heat setting and infuse your herbs for around 10-15 minutes, no longer than 25 minutes and keep a close eye on it! coconut oil tends to set on its own at room temperature but if it’s a bit warm where you are just keep it in the fridge and take it out before use, it’ll begin to emulsify easily into your hands once it warms up from your natural body temp

- 🌿

[ ‘get going’ energy boosting scrub ]

- coffee grounds

- sugar

- cinnamon

- honey

[ assembly ]

gently grind together your coffee and sugar, then add in your cinnamon powder and slowly fold in your honey, if your honey is pretty thick you can thin it out beforehand by in putting it the microwave for about 10 seconds

Think a Garden of Earthly Paradise, spending languorous days in sunlit meadows, trees laden in full blossom, picnics in the park near a shimmering pond, verdant ferns & mosses, starched white linens, cows slowly grazing in the grass, fields of flowers quietly bowing in a gentle breeze, the hum of a passing bumblebee, picking daisies, lazy-hazy afternoons, soft golden solar rays beaming down and drenching the landscape...

springtime morning tea

☀️ just an easy little tea to bring renewing energies to the start of your day!

- floral water*

- sun water

- chamomile tea

- honey**

- The Sun card***

☀️ prop up your sun card near your cup in front of you or hold it in your off hand and stir everything in clockwise, you can take a moment to meditate on your day if you’d like, sip and enjoy!

* sunflower, daisy, rose, wildflowers, dandelion, you can really use whatever just be safe!!

** locally sourced if you can for an extra boost! but honey is also totally optional in general :)

*** could be any other sun representation you have if you don’t work with tarot! sunstone, orange calcite, rosemary could even work if you’re limited on supplies, or you can omit it altogether

Banishing Nasty Spirits

If you’ve been following this series of posts, you know why a witch might work with spirits, how to establish a relationship with a spirit, and how to communicate with spirits. What we haven’t yet discussed is how to get rid of spirits that are bothersome, annoying, or malevolent.

I was planning to talk about pathworking and astral travel before getting into banishing, but in light of some asks I recently received on Tumblr, I think it’s important that we take a moment to discuss how to get rid of spirits that, for whatever reason, you don’t want around.

There are lots of reasons you might not want a spirit in your space. Just like with people, some spirits just aren’t a good fit for you and your practice. Part of being a spirit worker is cultivating a “spirit team” of beings that you can have healthy and beneficial relationships with.

Some spirits are mischievous and like to cause trouble. If you find yourself on the receiving end of lots of spirit pranks, you may want to gently encourage them to move along. And there are some spirits out there who just genuinely hate humans and will go out of their way to cause mental, emotional, and even physical harm.

Don’t get me wrong — malevolent spirits aren’t common. In my experience, the vast majority of unwanted spirits are more annoying than dangerous. I’m not saying this to scare you or make you paranoid. But these things do exist, and it would be negligent of me not to mention them in a series on spirit work.

There’s a reason that one of the most common truisms in witchcraft is, “Never conjure something you can’t banish.” If you’re going to be working with spirits, it’s a good idea to know how to banish them just in case. With that being said, here’s how you can clear out any nasties that may be lingering in your space.

Cleansing

The first step is to kick those unwanted spirits out of your space. There are lots of ways to do this, so choose the one that is the best fit for you.

Cleansing with fire and smoke is a very old and very simple method. If this is the way you decide to go, there are several magical substances you can burn to banish spirits. Burning sulfur or asafetida will clear out just about anything, but they both smell awful and are potentially toxic, so you’ll want to get an okay from the other people living in your home, burn a little at a time, and make sure you have lots of windows open. (Some people say sulfur and asafetida will banish all spirits, not just the unfriendly ones, so you may have to invite your spirit team back in later.) For something that smells a little more pleasant, you can try a mix of frankincense and myrrh resin, or burn a mix of dried rosemary, sage (garden sage, not endangered white sage, please!), and bay leaves — but again, make sure you have windows open, because these get smoky. Plus, you want the windows and/or doors open so the spirits have somewhere to go when the smoke chases them out.

If smoking up your living space isn’t an option for you, you can manually clean your space with a wash or powder. If you have hardwoods, you can make a floor wash with water, salt, lemon juice, rosewater, lavender essential oil, and either bay laurel or rosemary essential oil. (This is adapted from an uncrossing bath in the book Utterly Wicked by Dorothy Morrison.) Use this mixture to mop your floors, as well as to wipe down your walls and furniture. If you have a humidifier or essential oil diffuser, diffusing some of this mix would also be a good idea.

If you have carpet, you can make a powder by combining salt, dried lemon peel, dried roses, lavender flowers, and bay leaves. You’ll need to ground this really fine, so I recommend using a coffee grinder or food processor. Sprinkle the powder on your carpet, let it sit for a few minutes, and then vacuum it up. I would supplement this by also diffusing a mix of saltwater with rosewater, lemon juice, and lavender and/or bay laurel essential oil. If you don’t have a diffuser, at least sprinkle some saltwater around the room and on your belongings.

No matter which form of cleansing you decide to use, it’s important to verbally state your intention to banish these unwanted spirits from your space. Tell them out loud that they are no longer welcome here and that they need to leave. Don’t be rude about it, but be firm and speak clearly and with confidence.

After you cleanse your space, it’s a good idea to cleanse yourself as well to remove any psychic ties to the spirits you’ve just banished. The easiest way to do this is with a ritual bath. The floor wash recipe mentioned earlier can also be used as a psychic cleansing bath. Other options include a bath with salt, frankincense, and myrrh or a bath with salt, rosemary, sage, and bay laurel. You can use essential oils for your bath, or add the resins and herbs to a cheesecloth bag and drop it into the tub for easy diffusing and cleanup.

If you don’t have a bathtub, you can cleanse yourself in the shower. Place two cups of salt in a bowl. Add lemon juice, rosewater, lavender essential oil, and either bay laurel or rosemary essential oil. If you don’t have essential oils, you can add dried lavender and crushed bay leaves. Add some of your favorite body wash to create a scrub (if you don’t have body wash, use olive oil). While in the shower, use this mixture to scrub your skin — visualize yourself scrubbing away any psychic gunk you might have picked up.

Protection

Once you’ve removed any unwanted spirits from your space, you want to lay down some protection to keep them from coming back. There are as many ways to ward off spirits as there are witches, but here are a few ideas to get you started.

One option is to create a ward. You can do this by anointing the door frames, door knobs, and window frames of your home with a protective oil blend and/or by creating lines of salt across your doorways and just inside your windows. You can use other protective substances if you prefer. As you lay down these protections, visualize a protective shield around your home, and speak aloud your intention to keep harmful spirits out.

Iron is said to repel spirits. Keep a railroad spike or other large piece of iron under your bed to prevent nightmares and to keep spirits from messing with you while you sleep. There’s an old superstition that says that hammering iron nails into the four corners of your home protects it from spirits — this may not be possible if you’re renting, but you can create a similar effect by displaying a piece of iron in each of the four corners of your home. Hematite is a crystal that is high in iron, so it can be used in a similar way to ward off spirits.

Aloe is said to protect from negative spirits, and to bring protection and good luck more generally. It’s also a common house plant that is easy to care for, so this method of protection is especially great for witches who need to keep their practice a secret. Keep several aloe plants in your home to protect those who live there.

For witches with a crafty side, making a witch bottle is another option for protection. There are lots of different recipes for witch bottles, but the basic method is to fill a bottle with sharp objects, add something from your body, and hide it somewhere outside your home (traditionally buried on the property, but leaving it in an outbuilding works just as well). The idea is that any nasty spirit that comes looking for you will be attracted to the bottle (because it contains part of your body), get caught by the sharp objects, and be trapped. To create a simple witch bottle, fill a mason jar about halfway with sewing pins, then add a bit of your hair and some of your fingernail clippings, and finally fill it with liquid (traditionally, this liquid is your own urine, but if that makes you uncomfortable vinegar will also work). If you want, you can also include some of your favorite banishing herbs, resins, or crystals.

Religious symbols can also keep nasty spirits away. If you identify strongly with a religion, display protective symbols from that faith in your living space. For example: a Christian witch might hang up a crucifix or set out a statue of Archangel Michael, a Norse pagan witch might hang up an image of Mjolnir, a Hindu witch might display a statue of Durga, etc. Sometimes the most effective way to keep nasty spirits away is to let them know that you’re under the protection of someone more powerful.

When dealing with unwanted spirits, the most important thing to remember is that you do not need to be afraid. You are a powerful witch, and you are more than capable of getting rid of them. Be confident in your abilities and know that whatever happens, you can handle it.

A Witch’s Uncrossing

This spell is a type of Uncrossing, a witch’s way to undo bad luck or stagnation building up in their life. Unlike a spell for luck or new beginnings, this is best to use if you feel certain that there is a spiritual, magical, or emotional node latching itself onto you. For this reason, this spell is likely just the thing for someone who feels as though one bad things after another keeps occurring, or if you’ve suffered a loss and are struggling to let go. This spell can be adapted to a luck spell by adding clovers to the Moon Water; it can also be adapted to break curses by adding incense ash and sea salt.

Preparation - Moon Water:

At the full moon, take a jar of clear water and place it on a windowsill, outside, or on an altar. Place a clear quartz crystal on both sides of the jar. Dependent upon the witch, you may wish to say a blessing or a spell, or perform an action as simple as humming or playing ocean waves. Allow the water to sit through the night in a dark or dimly lit area. Before day break, remove the jar from its location and store in a dark container (such as box) until you are ready to use it.

Substitutions for the college witch - Leave on a windowsill instead of outside. Rather than collect at day break, place a piece of paper underneath the jar that says “until sunrise” (or draw a picture of the sun rising). Replace crystals with a ring of salt or something reflective, like glass or a mirror. 

The Spell - Uncrossing

At dusk, travel to a train track or a crossroads. Allow your mind to focus on the events that you wish to erase, the energy that you wish to expel. Cross your arms. Begin to walk counter-clockwise, dragging your feet against the ground so that a circle forms (if you are on gravel, you won’t see the circle, but complete the motion nonetheless). Complete the circle three times. On your third completion, uncross your arms. Fall to the ground. Pour a generous portion of moon water in front of you, raising to your feet as you do so.

Before driving or walking home, take a moment to ground yourself by drinking water, checking your phone, etc. Uncrossing can be mentally taxing, so take care to be centered before going about your day.

Substitutions for the college witch - In lieu of train tracks or a crossroads, draw a large X in front of you  (or make one from string or sticks) and perform the same actions as described above.
