#protip for beginner witches ❤️

Sometimes pieces of jewelry or little trinkets that we are given our destined to break, when that happens, just be sure to have some kind of box or container around to collect the beads and small stones. I promise, later on you will need them, and use them in a plethora of different ways ❤️

Right now, I am working on good luck charms for myself and my Work, my fiancé and his search for a new job, and my son and his schoolwork.

Discounts double, with things like earrings, necklaces, and things like that.

If you use one earring, save the other, it can always be used later to make something beautiful ❤️

For example, the black and gold chain that I am currently using, came from a vape that I bought months ago!

Absolutely everything has the potential to be art, and art always has the ability to be magical!

Powerful "return to sender" spell

After reading many classic and different versions of return to sender spells, I've created my own twist on a mirror version of this spell. It has aspects of binding spells, too. It's most useful if you know the person who has wished you ill will, but it's not necessary. This can be used for someone who has intentionally or unintentionally put the evil eye on you, attacked your psyche, has been wishing negativity on you, or has actually used magick to harm you.

Ingredients:

Black pepper

Garlic

Cloves, whole if you have it.

Black salt (incense ash and sea salt)

Ginger

A black tealight

A mirror **a 3x magnification mirror

A marker (dry erase preferred)

Sage, for cleansing before and after

**An image of the person who you wish to return the energy to

** = variation in the spell. It can increase the power of this spell.

When: During a waning moon, a moon in Scorpio, or a moon in Pisces

Preparation: Set up your space to your liking where you feel most comfortable and most powerful. Prepare yourself so you're in the right headspace whether that means grounding yourself, casting a circle, or calling on your spirit guides or deities to aid you. Wearing a black onyx stone on you for protection is also a good idea.

The spell

Charge your mirror

Cleanse the mirror using sage, sage incense, or patchouli incense. Pass it multiple times over the smoke, focusing on cleansing the mirror. After you cleanse it, do not let it catch your reflection. While you work on preparing your candle in the next step, set it up in front of a photo of the person you are sending back to. If you do not have a photo, meditate on the person's face, visualizing them. Make sure you have a strong, clear image of them in your mind's eye. While you do this, sit to the side of the mirror so your reflection isn't caught. When you are ready, project the image of the person into the mirror. If you don't know who it is, meditate on the negative energy you are feeling and then visualize it bouncing off the mirror and going back where it came from.

Dress your candle

Combine your herbs into a bowl, saying out loud your intent for each ingredient.

"I add pepper, to banish your attack,

I add garlic, to exorcise you from me,

I add black salt, to repel your energy from me,

I add cloves, to turn you away from me

And I add ginger, for a speedy return back to you of your intent towards me."

Heat up the candle (on a pan on the stove or in the oven on low heat) so that the wax is liquified. Sprinkle your herb mixture into the wax.

Now, get your mirror and draw in the center the rune Naudhiz/Nyd (below)

I've always seen Nyd as a binding rune, which I am using here to bind the return of the negative energy of the sender to them. However, use whatever binding symbol or rune you see fit. Just don't use a protection rune because that could actually protect the wrong person.

Now, place your candle on top of the mirror, over the rune, and light the candle.

The spell

Here, your will must be strong. Meditate on the candle flame and focus on your intent to send the energy of the sender back to them. Manifest it going back to them three times stronger than it was when they sent it your way. Whenever they think of you with ill will, they will feel anxious. If they think themselves better than you, they will feel beneath you. If they have hexed or cursed you, that magick will come back to haunt them. If they've gotten between you and someone else, their own relationships will fall apart. Whatever trouble they've caused to you and yours, they will feel in their own life.

After your conviction is unwavering, say the incantation:

"Negative energy sent my way,

The mirror reflects, the sender repays.

Evil that was sent to me,

Returns to where it came times three.

As above, so below,

As I will it, so mote it be."

Let the candle burn down until it is finished, then discard the remnants away from your house. You can cleanse the mirror and keep it, but ensure it is thoroughly cleansed with multiple methods like sage, sunlight, or salt. Be sure to thoroughly cleanse your space as well.

Witchcraft with Goddess Hecate

Hecate is the goddess of crossroads, entrance-ways, light, magic, witchcraft, knowledge of herbs and poisonous plants, ghosts, necromancy & sorcery in greek mythology. She presents a mighty and strong goddess, which rules over parts of the sea, sky and earth.

For to this day, whenever any one of men on earth offers rich sacrifices and prays for favor according to custom, he calls upon Hecate. Great honor comes full easily to him whose prayers the goddess receives favorably, and she bestows wealth upon him; for the power surely is with her. For as many as were born of Earth and Ocean amongst all these she has her due portion. The son of Cronos did her no wrong nor took anything away of all that was her portion among the former Titan gods: but she holds, as the division was at the first from the beginning, privilege both in earth, and in heaven, and in sea. 

In witchcraft she is believed

↳ to cleanse places (houses and familiar places especially), ↳ prevent ill-minded ghosts from entering a place, ↳ to support communication between two places, ↳ to spend light, ↳ to bring daily blessing, ↳ to give control as well as ↳ support witchcraft, necromancy & sorcery apprentices and ↳ lead or make a way to follow.

Symbols: 

↳ twin torches,  ↳ triple-bodied,  ↳ number 3,  ↳ crossroads,  ↳ entrances & doors,  ↳ dogs,  ↳ poisonous plants  ↳ keys  ↳ daggers

sacred animals:

↳ dogs,  ↳ frogs,  ↳ polecat,  ↳ serpents, (also sometimes represented with cows, boars & horses)

plants:

↳ medical & poisonous ones,  ↳ oak,  ↳ yew,  ↳ garlic,  ↳ cypress,  ↳ aconite,  ↳ belladonna,  ↳ dittany,  ↳ mandrake

“Greeks held the yew to be sacred to Hecate… Her attendants draped wreathes of yew around the necks of black bulls which they slaughtered in her honor and yew boughs were burned on funeral pyres. The yew was associated with the alphabet and the scientific name for yew today, taxus, was probably derived from the Greek word for yew, toxos, which is hauntingly similar to toxon, their word for bow and toxicon, their word for poison. It is presumed that the latter were named after the tree because of its superiority for both bows and poison.”

stones & crystals:

↳ ones found at crossroads,  ↳ marble, ↳ glass-stone & ↳ sandstone, ↳ smokey ↳ quartz, ↳ onyx, ↳ moonstone, ↳ silver

offerings:

↳ garlic, ↳ keys, ↳ dog fur, ↳ foreign coins, ↳ parts poisonous plants (!), ↳ frogs, ↳ bones, ↳ crystals, ↳ herbs, ↳ stones, ↳ spells

colours:

↳ black, ↳ orange-yellow, ↳ yellow-orange, ↳ red-orange, ↳ (including all kinds of orange and lighter red)

scents:

↳ mugwort, ↳ honey, ↳ myrrh

stuff:

↳ shrine at a place where paths meet ↳ shrine near a doorway ↳ practice magic near crossroads ↳ be aware of ghosts & the dead ↳ magic to new moon ↳ candles either dark or fire-coloured ↳ cleanse rooms regularly ↳ take good care of your plants & study herbs, poisons and nature well ↳ light a torch and a small bonfire once in a while

(!) Please remember that Hecate is a goddess who can refuse to help or connect with you. (!)

21 Crystals and Their Meanings From a Long Time Crystal Witch

I tried really hard to make the descriptions as short as I could, but obviously, some are a lot longer than others. I have been working with crystals for seven years, and I want to share my knowledge with you about some well known stones that are mostly easily attainable. 

Agate – Comes in many shapes, sizes, and colors. This means that agate can typically have many different properties, though most of them are grounding. 

Angelite – To communicate with angels and the more etheric higher realm. This is connected with the Crown Chakra. 

Amber – A potent healing crystal for the Solar Plexus, Sacral, and Crown Chakras. This crystal is also a powerful protector, aligning your everyday self to higher spiritual realms. It is a valuable tool for tapping into ancient wisdom, recalling past lives, and breaking negative patterns. 

Amethyst – Connects to the third eye chakra. It enhances psychic protection, psychic abilities, and is particularly good for empaths who are easily affected by other’s energy. 

Aquamarine – Associated with the Throat chakra, Aquamarine helps overcome the fear of speaking, and is an excellent stone for teachers and presenters of all types. Its element is water, and is also associated with intellect. 

Beryl – Is great for healing and strengthening the body’s entire vibrational field. It activates and opens the Root and Heart Chakras, creating the perfect balance of love, compassion, and creative force. Also great for scrying and decision making. 

Bloodstone –  Bloodstone is a stone of courage and wisdom, and is thought that the red dots in it symbolize the blood of Jesus after his crucifixion. It stimulates the urge toward Christ consciousness, and is also great for the Root Chakra and also wards away bullies. 

Carnelian – Carnelian encourages acceptance of the cycle of life and helps remove the fear of death. As an ancient stone, it was used to protect the dead on their journey to the afterlife. It gives courage and promotes positive life choices. This is associated with the Sacral Chakra.

Celestite – is a gentle but powerful crystal of celestial connection, expanding the consciousness to receive wisdom from the Divine Source as well as communication and protection from the angelic realm. It strengthens the Throat Chakra and aids in fear of public speaking and shyness. 

Citrine – is an excellent crystal for those who are overly sensitive and extremely vulnerable to outside energies and influences. This is also a stone that transforms anxiety into positive energy and happiness. This is a great stone for depression, and aids the Solar Plexus and Sacral chakras. This crystal will also ward away bullies. 

Fluorite – Comes in different colors and is a highly sought after stone. This crystal can aid the Throat Chakra, Heart Chakra, Third Eye Chakra, and crown chakra depending on its color. Fluorite is a multi-dimensional crystal manifesting the highest aspect of the mind: attunement to Spirit. It heightens intuitive powers, and awakens one to the purity and perfection of the universe and how each individual fits into that perfect plan. This crystal is used in astral projection and communication with aliens and interdimensional beings.

Lapis Lazuli -  Activates the psychic centers at the Third Eye, and balances the energies of the Throat Chakra. Lapis is one of the oldest spiritual stones known to man, used by healers, priests and royalty, for power, wisdom and to stimulate psychic abilities and inner vision. It represents universal truth. Lapis quickly releases stress, allowing for peace and serenity. Placed over the third eye, Lapis expands awareness and conscious attunement to the intuitive self, stimulating enlightenment and enhancing dream work. Also increases intelligence. 

Moldavite – one of the most rare and powerful stones. It is easy to find fake ones, and real ones come at a very high price and are easily broken. This is a tektite (a stone from meteor impacts) This stone stimulates the Third Eye, Crown, and Heart chakras, which are the three most spiritual chakras. Moldavite is a talisman sent to Earth for spiritual awakening, transformation and evolutionary growth. It facilitates strong, clear, and direct connection between one’s consciousness and the Universal Source. With its own cosmic oversoul, Moldavite has an ability to connect with Ascended Masters and cosmic messengers (aliens, multidimensional beings), and draw into the Earth plane those thought patterns and light vibrations which are most beneficial for ascension and illumination.

Moonstone – Connected to the Crown Chakra, Moonstone is moonstone was the stone of the gods and goddesses in India, of hope and spiritual purity through denial of the ego. It combats materialism and strengthens the faith of religious people in all cultures. This is a stone that connects you to lunar and angelic realms. 

Onyx – A grounding crystal that is connected to the Root Chakra. Onyx teaches the appropriate use of power and focusing one’s energy and will into a positive force to avoid corruption. It is an excellent tool for grounding and connecting with the electromagnetic energy of the Earth, as well as facilitating alignment with Higher powers for guidance and strength.

Quartz (clear) – Because Clear Quartz has the prismatic ability to vibrate its energy at all of the color frequencies, it not only harmonizes all of the chakras, but can teach us how to vibrate our seven chakra centers simultaneously while maintaining perfect alignment with the light. Clear Quartz crystal is unique, each with its own personality, lessons, and experiences. The crystals attracted into one’s life are stones that will in some way help facilitate personal growth and awareness. They may work subliminally in unawakened minds, and it enhances your subconscious desires, which can be disastrous with people who have not done shadow work. For those spiritually attuned to the universe, Quartz crystals are like beacons of light and positive energy to be used in daily thoughts, feelings, words and actions and integrated onto the earth. 

Rose Quartz –  Is connected to the Heart Chakra. Rose Quartz is feminine in tone and one of the stones of the Great Mother. It not only activates the human Heart Chakra, it also links with the heart of the Earth and the heart of the Universe. Its vibrations can penetrate down to the cellular level and reprogram cells for joy and longevity rather than despair and death. It encourages the dissolution of anger and resentment, fear and suspicion, and brings the Light of healing, the rebirth of hope and faith in the benevolence of the Universe. This stone can also be used to heal wounds from past lovers and is useful in love magick. Pregnant mothers also use this stone to calm and send love to their baby.

Selenite -  Resonates with the Crown Chakra located at the top of the head. Selenite brings divine light into everything it touches and stimulates the clearest state of mind attainable, where all thoughts entering the consciousness come from the Source and are direct reflections of pure spirit. It is one of the best crystals available for clearing congested energies or negativity from one’s physical and etheric body, and for helping one consciously connect with the Higher Self. This crystal has such pure light energy that you do not need to cleanse it, and it will cleanse other crystals around it. 

Tigers Eye – Stimulates the Root, Sacral, and Solar Plexus chakras. Tiger’s Eye resonates with the frequencies of the Earth and provides a warm, stable energy for prayers and meditation, and stimulating contact with the vibrational realm of Christ consciousness. It engenders peacefulness and beauty, and connects with the spiritual power of the sun as nourishment for the soul. Tiger’s Eye enables the ability to remember dreams and to use dreamtime for spiritual advancement, sparking imagination, intuition, and opening up psychic talents in earthy people through Third Eye activity. This crystal has masculine energy and promotes self control and self evaluation. 

Tourmaline – Is devoted to grounding spiritual energies, bringing a clearer expression of Light into the world and into the lives of those drawn to its powers. It furthers the ability to remain radiant in the darkest of circumstances, and to maintain a spiritual consciousness while living among those who are not always in the Light and do not understand the love of the universe. This is a highly protective stone against negative entities and repels negative energy.  Turquoise – In traditional thought, Turquoise unites the earth and sky, bringing together male and female energies. Spiritually, Turquoise heals and cleanses both the energy centers and the physical body. It acts to induce wisdom and understanding, and to enhance trust, kindness, and the recognition of beauty. It helps resolve arguments, particularly between you and your partner. This is associated with the Throat Chakra and the Third Eye Chakra
