🌌 A Ritual to Thoroughly Cleanse Your Living Space

Note: This ritual is a bit more extensive than what I usually post. That being said, I just cleansed my apartment with this ritual the other day, and I haven't felt this good in months. So, hopefully it will help someone else out, too! Or at least give you guys a fun read if nothing else.

This ritual takes advantage of a couple different types of magic, such as smoke magic and sound magic, as well as heavy visualization, so I'll be explaining some of the details as we go!

You will need:

A small bell (cheap substitute discussed below)

An incense (non-smoke substitute discussed below)

At least one window you can open

• • •

STEP ONE: Wake the spirits in the walls

Obtain a bell. If you don't have a bell, you can also use a bowl or glass. Strike the bowl/glass with a knife to create a ringing sound for this step.

Begin in the eastern wall/corner of your house, and begin ringing the bell. State confidently:

"May the ringing of this bell wake the spirits within the walls of my home."

Continue chanting that intention and ringing your bell, and walk through each room of your house/apartment/living space. The goal here is to expose ("wake up") all of the dormant energies that have found their way into your space.

• • •

STEP TWO: Pull out the negative energies with smoke

Return to the spot in your house where you began. Put down the bell, and now pick up some incense. Light the incense, and call to the spirits within the smoke. Ask them confidently:

"Spirits of Air, Spirits of Smoke,

May your tendrils reach into every corner and crevice of my home. Seek out each and every energy which disrupts my peace. Wrap the tendrils of your smoke around them, and pull them from their hiding places.

Find them in the walls, and pull them out.

Find them in the floors, and pull them out.

Find them in the corners, and pull them out.

Find them in the ceiling, and pull them out."

Repeat this chant as you again walk through each room of your house. Try to get the smoke to touch every corner in every room, including closet spaces.

Note: If you can't burn incense in your living space, you can also complete this step using a spray bottle and some water.

Instead of asking the spirits of air to seek out the negative energies in your home and expose them, ask the spirits of water to do it instead. Modify the chant that I have provided to accommodate for the water spirits, and use the spray bottle to spritz water onto the floors, walls, ceiling, and corners in each room.

• • •

STEP THREE: Expel the negative energies

Now that you've exposed the negative energies within your living space using the bell and the smoke/water, it's time to expel them from your home.

This particular step is very heavy in visualization and energy work, so you may want to center or ground yourself before you undertake this task.

Return once more to the spot where you began. Hold your hands together in front of you with your palms touching, such as in a prayer position. Build up as much energy as possible within your hands. It helps some people to rub your hands together vigorously to generate friction during this process.

If visualization helps you, imagine the energy within your body flowing down your arms and into your palms. Collect this energy into a ball of light that you hold between your hands. If it helps you to associate colors with energy, visualize the ball of light between your palms as either gold, silver, or white.

State confidently:

"I expel the energies within my home which disrupt my peace.

I expel you.

I expel you.

I expel you."

When you finish the chant, clap your hands together as hard as you can. Visualize the energy you've stored in your hands being released as a shockwave. Imagine the shockwave of energy spreading throughout the room and driving away all negative energies.

Repeat this process in each room of your house. Build up as much energy as possible in your hands, state the chant confidently, and clap your hands to release the energy and drive out the negative energies within the room.

• • •

STEP FOUR: Ventilate your home

Open as many windows in your home as possible. Then, go to the front door of your home and open it. While standing in the doorway, invite the spirits of the wind into your home. Ask them to carry away anything disruptive which may be lingering inside. Once you've called them in, you may then shut your front door if you wish.

Allow the windows to remain open until all of the incense smoke within your home has been blown outside.

Note: If you substituted water for smoke in the spell, you may have to ventilate your home for a bit longer. Try to keep the windows open until all the water you've sprayed has evaporated.

• • •

Like I said, this one is a bit more extensive and very eclectic in design. I've used it almost every time I've moved into a new place, though, and it's never failed me once. I hope you guys enjoyed!

Brightest blessings, and best of luck 🕉

emoji spell to bring good energy. likes charge, reblogs cast

[iampowerfulforces]

I made my first poppet today. It’s to help draw negativity from work off me.

[iampowerfulforces]

I haven’t been as active because I started a new a job. Going from no work to full time working at home has been like 🤯. Plus my depression has been so bad lately. It’s been a mess.

But I’m hoping to get back at it. I have plans for some work this week

Marigold Witch’s Simple Money Spell

This is a very simple, ongoing money spell. What does this mean? It means that this spell is continuous and can continue to bring you good fortune and prosperity for as long as you keep the spell going. It’s super simple and only requires a few, fairly common, things.

You’ll need peppermint leaves, tiger’s eye, a coin and a small bottle / jar. I used peppermint tea (like I cut open a tea bag and used the dried peppermint leaves), a few small tiger’s eye chips, a quarter and I recycled a used ibuprofen bottle.

All you need to do is put your peppermint, tiger’s eye and coin into your bottle / jar. I did this at my altar and I focused on my intention to bring good fortune and prosperity into my life. I honestly wasn’t focused on any particular number (because I wasn’t sure exactly the amount of money I’d need at the time). I just pictured myself happy, fulfilled, relaxed and free of stress (related to money).

Once you’ve completely this you’ll want to place your bottle / jar somewhere you’re going to see it regularly (like everyday). Whenever you find any coins (on the sidewalk, in your couch, at the bottom of your bag etc) place them into you bottle / jar.

I’ve been doing this for almost a month now and since doing this spell (and keeping up with it) I’ve made enough to finally catch up all my bills (no more past dues), I got a seasonal job (that I really really needed), I was able to afford getting $1,300 worth of work on my mouth and my kitchen has been full of food since. I know this may be little things to some of you but previous to the middle of July I was struggling just to put food on the table and pay my rent. So for now, so far, I’m doing okay.

I’m still keeping up with my little spell bottle and have put about maybe $2 worth of coins in it. Also, it’s important that every time you put money into the jar that it’s a) found money (it’s gotta be something you weren’t particularly looking for or knew you had) and b) you’re intentions are clear each time.

That’s it. Keep it going for as long as you want (or until your bottle is full). I plan on donating whatever amount of money I have in it once it’s full. Which I know isn’t a lot but it seems like a better use of the money than just buying a box of cereal or something lol.

Practicing Magic Ten Minutes a Day: Why It's Important and How to Do It

Original blost post is from my website.

I highly recommend practicing ten minutes of witchcraft a day. Only ten minutes: don’t pressure yourself to work above that (at least not yet).

I can already predict commenters arguing that this approach is lazy. I beg to differ. When you’re lazy, you decide to do nothing because practicing too much effort. Performing magic ten minutes a day is doing something, even if you don’t want to do it. That’s the opposite of laziness. It’s dedication.

Before you decide that ten minutes doesn’t add up to anything, let’s lay down the math.

10 minutes x 7 days a week = 70 minutes. That’s over an hour of practice each week.

10 minutes x 7 days a week x 5 weeks = almost 6 hours of honing your magic skills.

Ten minutes isn’t too much pressure. It doesn’t intercept too much of your day. It’s doable. It provides enough time for practice and reflection. And putting in the time lends you the motivation to continue the habit in the future.

​Here’s how to employ the ten-minute practice.

Pick an exercise that you can work on for ten minutes. Preferably, you’ll choose a skill that you want to improve. Examples include spirit communication, divination, astral projection, energy work, scrying, and dream interpreting.

Carve out the time to work on that magic. From in between classes to morning/night routines to waiting for your pasta to boil, you’ll always have a ten minute block to spare. So, use it to your advantage. Set an alarm if you need to be reminded.

Do it before you can second-guess yourself out of doing it.

Frame your results in a positive light. Even if your spell failed, it still taught you something about magic and your skills. Write down what worked and what didn’t work. Decide what you’ll change next time in order to achieve better results. The point isn’t that it went differently than expected; the point is that you did it.

Reward yourself in a small way. You can post on social media, play your favorite song, or tell yourself, “I did that pretty well.” Although this might sound arbitrary, research in 2008 by Dutch neuroscientists found that positive feedback activates the brain more powerfully than negative feedback. We understand positive feedback better since it’s put more simply, which gives us an easy push to work on our magic again.

I’ve been applying my scrying skills using the ten-minute practice and I’ve already noticed an improvement. I hope this post motivates you to tackle your witchcraft goals.

Glowing Confidence Spell Mist

(Gif is not mine!)^^

I created this spell with the intention of having an on-the-go glamour of sorts.  Something I’d be able to use when feeling less confident, or needed a boost.  It only felt right to share it with all of you <3

Ingredients:

Full moon water

3 rose petals

1 rose quartz crystal

1 clear quartz crystal

1 spray bottle)

Directions:

Swirl your moon water clockwise in a small bowl, and add each rose petal one by one. 

For the first petal, stir and say 

“With this petal I welcome in positivity and confidence”

For the second petal, stir and say

“With this petal I understand my own beauty”

For the third petal, stir and say

“With this petal, I remind myself that I am deserving of self-love”

Carefully pour this into your spray bottle once the water is still, and add your two crystals.  Spritz on yourself when in need of a boost of self-confidence or beauty,

IMPORTANT: Witchcraft is never a substitution for actual medical treatment and cannot be guaranteed as a cure or full treatment for any ailments you may face.

Okay! So last night I made my first batch of mini spell candles! :3

In case anyone wanted to give this a shot I’ll post the process! It’s extremely easy!

Ingredients: tea light candles, herbs and spices of your choice, essential oils, a cookie sheet, and creativity lol. You can seriously add anything that would be safe to be in hot wax and burned.

Preheat oven to about 325°F

On a cookie sheet, spread out the desired amount of candles you’d like to make

While the oven is preheating, prepare the herbs and spices! Cut up or grind up anything that needs to be broken down. Once the candles have melted and you remove them from the oven they will cool/harden quickly.

Once preheated, Place sheet with candles in the oven and keep an eye out! (It took about six minutes for mine to melt all the way until the wax was completely clear)

After they are melted, remove and start adding your ingredients! As I added mine I focused on the intention of what spells they are to be used for. If you have any affirmations that pair well with the intentions, you can say those as ingredients are sprinkled in.

Don’t forget to put a few drops of any essential oils you’d like!

Once I finished the candles I blessed them and left them to cool 😎

I made two different spells for this batch. For half, I added Bay leaves, rosemary, mint, basil and thyme to be used for quick cleansing/protection/clairvoyant spells. The other half I added chamomile, lavender, and lemongrass to be used for love and relaxation. I plan to just use them around my home as needed and I can’t wait to make more!!

Highly recommend, especially to any of those newer to the craft.

Thank You and Blessed Be!!

☀️How to make Sun Tea☀️

☀️Summer is almost here for us in the northern hemisphere! Although second to lemonade, ice tea is a refreshing beverage on the hottest days of the year and making sun tea is a very witchy and simple way to brew tea. Because sun tea is basically sun water, it is imbued with the magical properties of the sun. In addition, the type of tea you use can add magical properties as well. 

☀️How does one make sun tea? ☀️

You only need a few things to create sun tea: 

A Jar/ Pitcher with a lid

Tea (loose or bagged) 

The Sun/ Sunny Location

The size of the jar you use will depend on how much tea you wish to make and affect how much tea you need. If you just want to make a glass for yourself, a regular mason jar will work. However, if you want to make a big batch to share or save, you will need a bigger jar. Alternatively, a large glass pitcher with a cover will also work. 

Here are some ratios of tea to water:

Loose leaf tea

2 TSP of tea for 1 cup of water. 

4 TSP of tea for 1 pint of water

2 TBSP of tea for 24 ounces of water.

2.5 TBSP of tea for 1 quart of water.

1/3 Cup of tea for ½ gallon of water. 

½ Cups of tea for 1 gallon of water. 

Bagged tea:

1 bag of tea for 1 cup of water.

2 bags of tea for 1 pint of water.

3 bags of tea for 24 ounces of water.

4 bags of tea for 1 quart of water.

8 bags of tea for ½ gallon of water.

16 bags of tea for 1 gallon of water. 

Once you fill your jar/pitcher with water, simply put the appropriate amount of tea in the jar/pitcher. After that, close the jar/ pitcher and leave it in a sunny spot for about 3-5 hours. Once the tea is brewed, mix sugar or honey into the tea (if you want to) and then pour it over ice or chill it in the fridge for a refreshing summer drink.  

The tea you use doesn’t really matter. I prefer brewing fruity teas using this method because they are very summery. However, any kind of tea will work. I am planning on making a peach sun tea for Litha and I am very excited about it.

You can also add fruit or herbs to brew with your tea. Fruits such as peaches and lemons and herbs such as mint work nicely in sun tea. 

☀️Sun Tea’s Magical Properties☀️

Since sun tea is basically flavored sun water, what kind of magical properties does sun tea have? 

Magical properties: 

Confidence

Attention Grabbing

Grace

Courage 

Excitement 

Passion

Impulsiveness

Charisma

Extroversion

Strength 

Creation

Again, you can add more magical properties through the tea you use, but these are the properties of sun water by itself. 

Sun tea is a great summer beverage for any witch. It is especially great for solar witches or those who work with solar deities. It is also a great treat to make for Litha. 

I hope y’all find these instructions helpful and are inspired to make some sun tea yourselves this summer.

Opinions for a new witch?

I’m a quiet person by nature and speaking out loud can and does make me feel disconnected from my craft often. Opinions on speaking and spell casting out loud vs. Only with your mind or in whispers?

Magic[k]al Uses For: Sunflowers

SUNFLOWERS (Helianthus) are a member of the Asteraceae (flowering plant) family that is also known as the daisy or aster family.  Sunflowers are native to the Americas and they are known to have uses in the kitchen, in healing and in witchcraft. 

✧ SUNFLOWER VARIETIES:

There are around 70 varieties of Sunflower plant, but I am small and exhausted and have listed around half of that number.

American Giant Sunflower (Helianthus annuus).

Autumn Beauty Sunflower (Helianthus annuus).

Bashful Sunflower (Helianthus petiolaris).

Big Smile Sunflower (Helianthus [dwarf]).

Chianti Sunflower (Helianthus annuus).

✧ MAGIC[K]AL USES FOR SUNFLOWERS:

Sunflowers are tied to solar deities and can be used when communing with, honouring, and channelling them. They can also be used to invoke energies of the deities, or the Sun itself during magic[k]al workings. 

Use in magic[k]s for peace, happiness, balance, and confidence. 

Use in magic[k]s to attract positive energies, and warmth. 

Use in magic[k]s for leadership, e.g., if you are to begin a new job, or a new position in a job, use sunflowers in any magic[k]s that you do to bring confidence and assertiveness to yourself. 

Place sunflowers around the entrance to your home. This will bring a peaceful and happy atmosphere to your home, and when guests visit, it will eliminate any negative energies they may be carrying.

Vegan Alternatives In Spells

***I originally made this post on my old account (vgnwitch) but I wanted to add a few things so I decided to remake this post! These are all just some examples of many alternatives with matching correspondences.*** Eggs/Eggshells: -rebirth: pennyroyal, seeds, pinecones, tansy, ivy, or honeysuckle. -general protection: acorn, basil, bay leaves, lavender, cinnamon, pinecones, rosemary, clover, coriander, ferns, heather, mistletoe, mullein, vervain, st. johns wart, or peony. -protection against evil, magic, and psychic attacks: onions, garlic, rosemary, yarrow, pennyroyal, ivy, holly, garlic, dragon’s blood, cactus, clove, dill, pinecones, mugwort, cayenne pepper, or black pepper. -protection from nightmares- mullein, lavender, rosemary, anise, dandelion, lemon balm, or catnip. -fertility: seeds, pinecones, acorns, apples, ginkgo biloba, cabbage, poppy seeds, mistletoe, pomegranate, rice, carrots, lady’s mantle, mugwort, peaches, walnuts, bananas, bergamot, daffodil, dock leaf, and mistletoe. Coffee grounds are a great alternative to crushed eggshells with the intended use of being scattered around a perimeter for protection. Crystal eggs with properties that correspond to the intended use of eggs are another great alternative.

Honey:

honey is typically used to “sweeten” a situation, so using sugar, syrup, apple honey (Bee Free Honee is personally my favorite brand), or stevia would work just as well and it’ll help save our bee friends! *Before anyone replies saying “buying honey saves bees though” please educate yourself with these links!* Also note that honeybees are one of the few species that are not endangered; the mass production of honeybees by humans has caused rapid endangerment to wild bees, who are the main pollinators of the foods we eat.

If you would like to help save bees then you can plant some flowers and herbs that they like, make a bee hotel, buy organic as much as possible, and transition to a vegan diet (or if that’s genuinely not possible for you just cut as much meat and dairy out of your diet as you can) because more crops for animals means less habitats for bees. Milk:

almond milk, coconut milk, rice milk, soy milk and any other plant derived milk. Any of these will work in place of dairy milk. If you want to be more specific in your spells though… -almond milk: money, prosperity, luck, and wisdom. -coconut milk: protection or spiritual cleansing. -soy milk: prosperity and amplifying psychic abilities. -rice milk: protection and attracting rain.

Blood: red wine, pomegranate juice, crushed berries, dragon’s blood, or maple syrup are great alternatives.

Bones: Petrified wood.
