Christmas Spells

CHRISTMAS SPELL. Steep mistletoe berries, to the number of nine, in a mixture of ale, wine, vinegar and honey; take them on going to bed, and you will dream of your future lot. A storm in this dream is very bad; it is most likely you will then marry a sailor, who will suffer shipwreck at sea; but to see either sun, moon or stars, is an excellent presage; so are flowers; but a coffin is an index of a disappointment in love. - The Witches’ Dream Book THE WITCHES’ CHAIN. Let three young women join in making a long chain, about a yard will do, of Christmas juniper, and mistletoe berries; and at the end of every link put an oak acorn. Exactly before midnight let them assemble in a room by themselves, where no one can disturb them; leave a window open, and take the key out of the key-hole and hang it over the chimney-piece; have a good fire, and place in the midst of it a long thinnish log of wood, well sprinkled with oil, salt and fresh mould; then wrap the chain around it, each maiden having an equal share in the business; then sit down, and on her left knee let each maiden have a prayer book, opened at the matrimonial service. Just as the last acorn is burned, the future husband will cross the room; each one will see her own proper spouse, but he will be invisible to the rest of the wakeful virgins. Those that are not to wed will see a coffin, or some misshapen form, cross the room. Go to bed instantly, and you will all have remarkable dreams. This must be done either on a Wednesday or Friday night, but no other. - The Witches’ Dream Book FIRST FOOT. Our Scottish seers place implicit confidence in the “ First Foot” of a Christmas morn, which is that of the first person who crosses the threshold ; if this is a male, they prophesy “ good fortune all the year round : ” if a female, they predict evil. - Raphael’s Witch THE RYE CHARM. If you would have bread and cake in plenty during the whole year, hang a full sheaf of rye and a full sheaf of wheat upon a pole outside the door, on Christmas morning, so that the birds may come and feed from it. -The Golden Wheel Dream-book and Fortune-teller MIRROR. By gazing fixedly in a mirror on Christmas eve at midnight, you will see appearing in the glass the outlines of the leading events to occur to you during the coming year. - The Great Dream Book THE ART OF SPEAKING WITH THE DEAD. For this operation it is necessary to attend midnight mass at Christmas and at midnight precisely to have a conversation with the inhabitants of the other world and at the moment that the Priest lifts the Host, bow down and with a frank and severe voice say “Esurgent mortuit et ac me veniut.” As soon as you have pronounced these six words it is necessary to go to the cemetery and at the first tomb that meets your eye offer this prayer:

"Infernal powers, you who bring the turbid in the universe, abandon your obscure dwelling and retire to the other side of the River Styx." Then remain there for a moment of silence. "If you have your power, he or she that interests me, I supplicate you in the name of the King of Kings to make him appear before me at the hour and moment that I will indicate to you."

After this ceremony, which is indispensable to carry out, take a fistful of earth and spread it as one sows grain in a field, saying in a low voice: “He who is in dust awake from his tomb and leave his ashes and answer the questions that I pose him in the name of the Father of all men.”

Then bend a knee to the ground, turning your eyes to the East and when you see that the doors of the Sun are going to open, arm yourself with the two bones of the dead man that you will put in a cross of Saint Andrew. Then throw them at the first temple or church that offers itself to your eyes. Having well-executed the aforesaid, set out in a western direction and when you have taken 5,900 steps, lay yourself down to sleep on the ground in an elongated position, holding the palms of your hand against your thighs, and your eyes to the sky towards the Moon and in this position, call he or she whom you wish to see, when you see the specter appear, solicit their presence with the following words “Ego sum te peto, et videre queo.” After these words, your eyes will be satisfied to see the object that dearest to you and give you the most pleasurable delight.

When you have obtained from the shadow which you have Invoked, that which you believe to be to your satisfaction, send it away in this manner: “Return to the kingdom of the elect, I am content with you and your presence.” Then picking yourself up, return to the same tomb where you made the first prayer above which you need to make a cross with the end of your blade which you will be holding in your left hand.The reader should not neglect any of the prescribed ceremonies otherwise he could incur some risk. - The Grand Grimoire THE DISPOSITION OF THE TWELVE DAYS FROM CHRISTMAS, KNOWN BY THE SHINING OF THE SUN. On Christmas day, if the Sun shineth the whole day, it betokeneth a peaceable year. If it shine the 2nd. day gold will be bard to come by, and the corn much set by. If it shine the 3d. day, great errors shall be among church-men. If it shine on the 4th. day, then must weak children suffer much pain. If it shine on the 5th. day then both the winter fruits and herbs, and fruits of the garden prosper well. If it shine on the 6th, day, there shall be great-plenty of the fruits of the gardens, with all other fruits. If it shine on the 7th. day, it betokeneth hunger and scarceness both of man's food, and also of beasts ; for victuals shall be dear, with wine and corn. If it shine on the 8th. day, it shall be good for fishermen that year, and fortunate. [This text seems to skip the 9th day] If it shine on the 10th. day, there shall be much evil weather that year. If it shine on the 11th. day, there shall be much misty weather that year, and also commonly dearth. If it shine on the 12th. day, then followeth that year much war, debate, and strife., - The Instructing Gypsy

Sabbat Birthday Superstitions

I thought it might be fun for Imbolc to gather some superstitions for anyone with a birthday on one of the Sabbats. I included dates for both Northern and Southern Hemisphere. These are all from a book called All One Wicca: A Study in the Universal Eclectic Tradition of Wicca by Kaatryn MacMorgan. I’m not necessarily saying that any of this is true or good, I’m just posting it for anyone who is interested.

Yule (20-22 December or 20-22 June)

A child born on Yule is said to have the power of the Sun God, and the mother is said to be blessed too, of especial sacredness are infants with black hair, who are said to have the powers of the storms, and very pale children born on Yule are said to come from the womb of the Goddess and be great workers of Magick. Some say the gift child is often a changeling, and will die by spring, but bring great prosperity to the family, not my idea of a Blessing.

Imbolc (1-2 February or 1-2 August)

Children born on Imbolc are said to be the “first children of Spring” and will always be one step ahead of everyone else.

Ostara (19-21 March or 19-21 September)

Children born or conceived on Ostara are said to be healthy, strong, imaginative and “green thumbed.”

Beltane (30 April -1 May or 30 October - 1 November)

Children, especially girls, born on Beltane are the “children of the Goddess,” and children conceived on Beltane are said to have “luck and fortune beyond the world.“

Litha (20 - 22 June or 20 - 22 December)

Children born on the Summer Solstice are supposed to be fiery, smart, strong, temperamental and willful, red haired children born on the Solstice are said to be marked by the Sun King, and will receive special blessings.

Lughnasadh/Lammas (1 - 2 August or 1 - 2 February)

Children born on Lughnasa, like children born on Mabon, are said to be like the crop that is brought in.

Mabon (19 - 21 September or 19 - 21 March)

Children born at Mabon are generally compared to the harvest. If it was good, the child is said the "Grow tall and prosper like the grain,” but a poor season usually boded badly for an infant, not because of his/her date of birth but because of the food supply, and the child was said to be lucky to survive past Yule.

Samhain (30 October - 1 November or 30 April - 1 May)

Children born on Samhain are said to be great in power but attracted to “necromancy, graveyards and other ghoulish things,” and children conceived on Samhain were said to be the incarnations of unsettled dead, so sex on Samhain is fairly taboo.

hello! i just recently discovered your page and it's really helping me out a lot! i wanted to ask, if it's not to much, would you mind making a list of the old-world names for spell ingredients and what they actually mean? like the flower correspondents post you made, but for other ingredients? or if you already know of a list, could you send it to me or post it? thank you so much!

Yes, I have a post like that here. There's also a good list here, which is not mine, but is a good resource nonetheless.

Frequently Googled Questions About Witchcraft

Is witchcraft real?

Yes. Witches are real and really practice witchcraft. However, many of the things you may associate with witchcraft are not exactly real. Witches cannot fly, transform into bats, levitate objects, or do anything instantaneous. Many things that witches can do often seem very natural as if “it would have happened anyway” - things like controlling the weather, circumstances, or even curses. Many witches follow witchcraft as a sort of self-empowerment practice, rather than having any truly supernatural goals, however some witches do report having supernatural experiences from time to time.

Is witchcraft bad?

Witchcraft is not necessarily bad - but it’s not necessarily good, either. It’s a been like asking “are politics bad?”. Politics can be used for good and bad ends both - so can witchcraft. Folk magic has been a part of different cultures basically ever since culture began, and many people have done small bits of magic and superstitious rituals even today. Knocking on wood for “good luck” is a tiny spell that many people do, for instance. Most modern witchcraft encompasses things like folk magic, herbalism, and New Ages concepts like meditation. Witches are just people, not mythical beings, and there’s no actual contract we sign with the devil to gain our powers. Most of what is called “witchcraft” these days is not generally harmful, and is just the current most popular label for the historical practice of folk magic. Witches are often more interested in repelling evil than embodying it, however there may be exceptions to this.

Are tarot cards witchcraft?

Not all tarot readers are witches, and not all witches read tarot. Tarot is a separate practice that many witches are drawn to because of its esoteric nature, and can be a part of a practice of witchcraft for some people. However, having tarot cards lying around doesn’t automatically indicate that their owner is a witch.

How to know if you are a victim of witchcraft.

Being a “victim” of witchcraft is less likely than you would expect, given that many witches actually have quite good intentions, or follow a type of witchcraft that discourages harmful magic. As unpopular as this opinion may be, if you think you have been cursed by a witch, it may be a good idea to reflect on your behavior and see if there’s anything you may have done to bring a witch to want to curse you. It is not like in Snow White, where a witch may want to curse you out of jealousy because you’re so beautiful and good. If a witch has cursed you, it may be because you were being an asshole. But like I said in the previous answer - it can be very difficult to distinguish “witchcraft” from “something that would have happened anyway”, so there is not a quick and easy way to tell.

How to start witchcraft, how to do witchcraft, and how to practice witchcraft.

This is a giant topic that is difficult to explain in a paragraph. Most people recommend that you start with research, but it can also be a challenge to research if you don’t have time. I would start with some of these articles to summarize some of the aspects of how you might get started with witchcraft:

https://www.dazeddigital.com/beauty/witch-week/article/46594/1/beginners-guide-glossary-magic-magick-witchcraft-wicca

Are these the best, most in-depth, authentic sources? No. But they’ll give you a good summary and understanding of what the current most popular elements of witchcraft are, and what you may want to use as a starting place for further research.

May I ask? Do you know why tisane potion would be bad for eating? Is it a type of metaphysical result or strictly physical/material? Thanks

It says "Bad for: eating dry" because the tisane is made from cinnamon. While eating 1/2 tsp of cinnamon - like the recipe calls for - is probably not so bad, you generally do not want to eat piles of dry powdered cinnamon because it is too easy to inhale and can cause breathing problems. I don't know of any metaphysical reasons why you shouldn't eat a pile of dry cinnamon, just physical ones.

Potions for Autumn

grimoirebabylon

“How do spells work if there are so many different spells to cause the same effect?” one might ask. The answer that witches give is often, “Well, the intention is what really matters,” in which cause you might wonder what the point of ingredients is at all. Can you really replace every herb with rosemary and have the exact same result as if you used what was called for? People may have different answers to this, but here’s what I think. The rules of magic don’t really follow logical structures that we are used to. Magic in particular tends to be difficult to quantify, difficult to study in a laboratory setting, and the effects are difficult to reproduce. That doesn’t make it definitively not real but it means that we have to look at it through a different lens than we are used to. I am a programmer, and I make analogies to programming a lot. When I was first learning to program, I had an incredibly difficult time with the learning curve. Of course I know now how consistent the logic of programming languages is - but despite the consistency, it is an entirely different way of thinking than the way we think about problem solving in human languages. Both ways of thinking about data have their own structures, but learning to think a different way can be incredibly difficult. People may also encounter this difficulty when learning a human language with a wildly different grammar.

We don’t really know a lot of things about magic or why it works, and that is why there isn’t a really good, logically consistent answer to these kinds of questions. Maybe intention matters, but maybe the proximity of intention to certain ingredients matters. Maybe the timing matters. Or maybe these are all just dressings to active some force - of the universe or of our own minds - that we don’t know we don’t know about yet. Maybe some things are just coincidences, and we can’t separate out which things are coincidences and which things are meaningfully caused. Some things are demonstrably placebos - but to most people it will not matter anyway, so long as they get the effect they want. Witches end up feeling things out. And part of the reason everything is so individualized and non-straightforward is because different things seem to work for different people. But we don’t necessarily know why that is. So witchcraft becomes a craft of sifting through information, trying things, discovering things, and alighting on different things that seem to work for the individual practitioner. And as their magic becomes more advanced, it becomes more difficult to articulate hows, whats, and whys. A lot of my magic is based on wishing superstitions. I have no idea why, but the trappings of those things work for me. If I ask for something while blowing all of the seeds off a dandelion, it will happen. I can’t just make that seem wish at nothing and have it come true. Does it activate some power in me? Is it based on my own belief? Is it because I was born in February? The reason why this works for me and not for other people could be any number of reasons, but I don’t have a good way of studying those reasons. Meanwhile putting herbs and stones in a jar really seems to work for some people, but doesn’t seem to do much for me at all. So the answer to the questions I asked at the beginning is basically: no one really knows. People have guesses that are hard to prove or disprove. But plenty of science-minded or skeptical people like myself still engage in the practice of magic because there are discernible patterns to some things - and witchcraft is a search to discover one’s own patterns.
