Cemetery Stroll

Circle around the cemetery three times, staying calm but focused on your desire. The dead should become visible to you and you will be able to communicate.

(from The Element Encyclopedia of 5,000 Spells by Judika Illes)

Get yourself some friends who will kidnap you and take you to the sea for as long as you need

This helps you ground and cleanse yourself. Immersing yourself in their waters calms you while energizing you. In a time where everything around you is hectic and stressful, water welcomes you to return to a womb like state and renew yourself, your mind and your energy.

If you don't have access to a body of water, you can still ground yourself while purifying at home in your bath. I don't always have a chance to but here are some ways to mimic the energy effects of the sea at home.

Set a bath. Add some sea salt or epsom salt. Salt is purifying and cleansing. If you’ve gathered water of some kind (sea, rain, moon, sun, etc) mix some into your bath water for your intent. Boil some herbs into a tea to add or increase intent and add the mix to your bath. Take a long soak in your mix. Play some sounds if it helps. Submerge your head into the water and listen to the water pass by your ears. Ground yourself in the water by becoming aware of every part of your body being touched by the water. Melt into it.

For those who don't have a tub, but have access to a shower, here are some ways to do some energizing cleanses.

Ground yourself in the shower by closing your eyes and feeling the the water hit and run down your body, similar to grounding and cleansing in the rain. Similar to the bath mix, you can premix herbs and teas and essential oils to add an affect and scent and infuse it into your body wash.

This isn't much I know but I am learning too and these so far have helped with my sea longing. Stepping outside in the rain when I can also helps.

What to use when in Witchcraft -

Ok so I am gonna say this is my personal reference, its mainly through associations. You might TOTALLY disagree and thats chill!

Its more something to think about and a guideline of what I use myself…

Candle Magic:

Carve a candle when…. the candle represents the target, in sympathetic magic. When, essentially, the candle is a poppet and lighting it is a symbol of destruction or empowerment to the target.

Place something under the candle or before it when… you are doing general candle magic, when the candle represents empowering a wish, idea or concept.

Anoint the candle when… doing work with spirits and gods, when you mark the candle for a special purpose, when doing high magic.

Herbs and plant work:

Use dry herbs when… it is convienent to do so, when the herbs are out of season or when you need to store them in a jar or bottle for a long time.

Use fresh herbs when… the spell is very earth orientated, when doing magic on behalf of another or when the magic is sympathetic so that the herbs represent the target, within kitchen witchery.

Use flowers when… when the spell concerns love and sex, or perhaps fertility and attraction, due to flowers being the reproductive parts of the plant.

Use fruit when when… working with children as a target, or with children practising. When you work with fertility and abundance spells.

Use wood and twigs when… when the spell is for protection or binding, for hardiness.

Burn herbs (recaning/incense) when… you wish to cleanse or banish, or invoke an atmosphere - that being, for divination using herbs that are said to open up your perceptions, when banishing, burning acrid or pungent herbs.

Use oil infusions when… you wish to anoint something, when you wish to mark something permanently.

Use floral waters (rose water etc) when… dealing with spirits and gods, for glamour as it has a long history of being used to beautify.

Crystals:

Use metals (haematite, copper, ores etc..) when… you work in protection, when you do energy work due to the conductive properties of metal.

Use shell, pearl, coral and such when… you work in sea magic, when you work within emotional magic due to the element of water.

Use points when… you wish to direct magic to a target.

Use tumble stones when… you wish the magic to be gentle or manifest at a certain place on the body on a target.

Use geodes when… you work in protection, when you work with glamour aimed to obscure and hide.

Knot magic:

Use cotton when… it is convenient.

Use silk when… doing spells that benefit the target.

Use ribbons when… love spells and wealth spells, as well as confidence and beauty spells. Spells to ensure victory.

Use rope when… doing spells that aim to hurt or weaken the target, binding especially.

Poppets:

Use cloth when… the spell aims to benefit who the poppet represents, use particular care when sewing or cutting, choose colours that are appropriate to them.

Use wax when… you wish to manipulate the target.

Use clay when… wish to create fetches or servitors, when you wish to create permanency.

Use twigs when… you wish to bury or throw the poppet out, when you want the poppet to be easily destroyed by breaking or setting on fire.

Sigils:

Use an alphabet grid or circle when… you wish the sigil to be more random and less attached to you.

Combine the shapes of letters from a sentence… when your sigil is very specific and a short term goal.

Use your own personal symbols when… you want the magic to be connected to you, when it is personal.

Witch Tips 22

Don’t forget to checkout the #10tips tag on my blog for previous and future witch tips posts! I post 10 tips for every 100 followers I get, so these all happen because of witches like you!! Thank you so much for your continued support. I really do appreciate all of you dearly.

1. Get to know the planets

Even if you’re not a cosmowitch/space witch, planets can have an impact on your craft. They are powerful, beautiful forces of nature. Love them and connect with them. Learn a little about them. There are even websites that track which plants are currently visible in the night sky in your location! I just love those mysterious spinning orbs.

2. Two crystals of the same type can have different energies

Just like people, each crystal has gone through a different life and has been effected by the energies around it. You may feel more power coming from one than the other. Or, for example, one amythest crystal may be waaaaay better at fueling creative energies than another of the same kind is. Get to know your crystals can help them work to the strengths.

3. Don’t allow witchcraft to negatively impact your health

I know this sounds crazy like, “how could this possibly happen?” But there are some things I’ve noticed that could be taken to dangerous places if used incorrectly. Be sure you’re putting your physical health and your mental health above all else. Witchcraft doesn’t have to be a chore and it certainly shouldn’t be something you dread doing everyday.

4. Treat shields like the lock your house - don’t give away the key. And change the locks when you break up with someone.

I recently went through a really messy breakup. He told me yesterday that he was excited for the full moon because he had some spells he had been wanting to do. I’m worried, not because I think he’s going to do anything intentionally malicious but because he’s new to magick and may try something to coerce me into forgiving him for the shitty things he’s done to me. Of course, I can’t know for sure if that’s the case, but it inspired me to be more cautious and put some extra protection spells and sigils up. Even if someone’s intentions are pure, they may perform spells on you that are unwanted or dangerous to your thoughts and mind.

5. Charge your perfumes/cologne with your intentions

This can be a great way to enhance confidence, attract love, repel negative energy, and so much more! It’s also a super easy way to include witchcraft in your everyday life! If you don’t wear any body sprays, this can also be used with lotion, hair care products, or anything else that you put on your body every day.

6. You can do witchcraft in your sleep!

Sticking a Lapis Lazuli under your pillow can help with prophetic dreams or just good dreams in general. Using a lavender spray on your pillow can help with getting to sleep quickly and feeling relaxed. Sigils under your pillow can help draw in positive dreams or make you remember your dreams better. Amethyst and Angel Aura can help with lucid dreaming. If you have any intentions while sleeping, I highly suggest you look into other crystals or oils or herbs that can help get you accomplish these goals!

7. Witchcraft is about working with the universe -not defying it!

Witchcraft is about a connection, a oneness with the universe. Every person, every animal, every plant, every speck of dirt is a part of this universe. Witchcraft is about willing the universe to assist your needs/desires and having a mutual understanding with it. Don’t get angry at the universe, because when you’re angry at the universe you’re angry at yourself. And you need to love yourself; to work with yourself. Be mindful of this when practicing any type of witchcraft.

8. If you can, get yourself a selenite bowl!

I saw one awhile back when I was traveling and I’m still kicking myself for not buying it. Selenite is great for charging other crystals and it never needs to be charged, because it charges itself naturally! If you get a selenite bowl to place your smaller crystals in, you’ve always got a charge not matter what phase the moon is in.

9. Your body needs charging, too

This is extremely subjective to you as a person. Your mind is your main tool in witchcraft. Sometimes it loses it’s charge and sometimes your body feels really bad for no reason. (Quick note: I’m not claiming that anything I’m about to say will cure mental illness or chronic pain or anything of the sort. I’m talking about something else entirely but that also isn’t to say that people with those types of conditions won’t benefit from a nice charge. I have clinical depression and this still benefits me, yet doesn’t change the fact that I have a mental illness. Just wanted to put that out there) I’m a pisces, so I’m a water sign. I’ve also just always been extremely drawn to water. When I was a kid, I’d always take long showers when i wasn’t feeling well. Even as an adult, that’s always my first step when something is wrong with me. When I moved from the desert to the PNW and started experiencing way more cloudy days and rain than I was used to, it helped me drastically. I always was happier when it was raining. I think that rain and water are the best way for me to charge myself. Explore your own ways of self charging. It doesn’t even have to have anything to do with the elements, or the element of your sign. Maybe food charges you, or sitting in grass, or star gazing, or chugging water, or exercise, or any number of other things. Explore it. Charge yourself. Take care of yourself.

10. Your spiritual teachers do not need to be other witches. Or even people.

Sure, you’ll want to ask other witches about certain things like spells or crystals or anything else. But that’s not to say that they’re the only people you can learn from. I already went on my Oneness with the Universe Ramble earlier in this post, so I’ll spare you from having to read it again. You can learn about witchcraft and spells and magick from everyone around you. And every thing! Let the rain teach you how to cleanse. Let the earth teach you how to nurture. Let the little kid in your neighborhood teach you how to free your mind. Let the animals teach you how to care for yourself and love yourself. Everyone in the universe, be them human or otherwise, has something to teach you. And you’ve always got something to learn.

Thank you so much for reading my latest #10tips. Check out my blog for previous Witch Tip posts, or for answers to any questions you may have, or just for some random witchy things. Sometimes nonwitchy things too, idk I get in social moods sometimes and really like interacting with my Little Beans. I hope you found this helpful and have a magickal day!
