PBW Witch Shop & Zine Distro

The PBW Witch Shop is a curated selection of witchcraft and magic related zines, books, pin-back buttons, tarot cards and more.

For those in the US asking “where can I buy good witchy books?” - this looks like an answer!

For those of us elsewhere in the world, I would recommend every book I’ve read off this list, and have heard great things about a bunch of the others, so I’m totally treating this as reading list inspiration! I wonder how many of them my libraries have…

Regular Spell work

[kai-curious]

I need to learn to take things slow.

I, once again, hyperfixated on witchcraft, watching all the videos, wanting to buy all the books and tools and talk about it ALL the time and was so pumped to do research.

And once again, I hit a wall. I lost motivation and energy, stopped reading and talking about it, and nearly considered quitting. I finally picked up my book again for the first time in over a month.

I’m really disappointed in myself for letting this happen again. I got over hyped about witchcraft for the aesthetic. But at the same time I know how much good it can do for me mentally.

Sometimes it’s hard to differentiate genuine passion and fleeting over-excitement.

But I’m back at it again. I decided to do baby step. I’m going to find myself a nice notebook. I’m going to pick up my book. I’m going to read a few chapters a week. And I’m going to take notes.

[kai-curious]

OH MY GOD IM FINALLY BACK

Hey guys! I’m so so so sorry I was gone so long it genuinely wasn’t planned.

When I’d first logged off the quarantine was starting to really get to me and wanted to take just a few weeks off of social media just to give myself a break. But then my phone broke and I’ve only just now gotten a new one! So...I’m back!

CIRCLE CASTING 101

A magickal circle is an energetic construct that you build or envision around yourself before working magick, doing a ritual, some like to cast a circle before meditating or reading tarots. For a solitary practitioner the circle is typically 5-6 ft in diameter, but the size expands based on the size of the group. It can be defined physically, energetically, or both.

Circles provide protection and serves as a container for your personal energy as well as the energy you conjure.

Please remember that this is just what i personally like to do when casting a circle, but that there are many methods.

Preparation for circle casting

1. Determine how much space you will need.

2. Cleanse your area. Vacuum, sweep, throw away any trash in the area.

3.Make sure you have everything you need for your ritual! Theres nothing more frustrating than having your circle casted and realizing you’ve forgotten an herb or any supplies you need for the work you’re about to do.

4. Purify your area. Light purifying incense, sage, sprinkle salt and holy 💧. Most importantly, Visualize the negative energy dispersing. If you don’t focus & visualize, your physical actions will have little effect. Visualization is hands down one of the most important things in any and all magickal workings!

5. Now its time to cast your circle!

Visualize protective energy coming from within you and direct it towards your casting arm. Focus it through a casting tool (Athame, wand, or ✋)  and visualize a beam of energy coming from it and settling on the ground. Trace your circle with this energy, 3 times in a clockwise direction. Once for protection, once for focus, and once for power.

Call the 4 quarters

Face North and say “I call to the North, to the element of Earth. Grant me (us if not practicing alone) your endurance, your strength.”                                  Sprinkle salt onto your altar or crumble soil into a bowl on your altar.

Face East and say “I call to the East, to the element of Air. Grant me your creativity and your intuition.”                                                                             Light incense, wave a fan,or drop feathers onto your altar.

Face south and say “I call to the South, to the element of Fire. Grant me your passion and your energy.”                                                                                 Light candles.

Face west and say “I call to the West, to the element of Water. Grant me your empathy and your emotion.”                                                                              Pour blessed/storm/moon/natural water into a bowl or into your chalice.

Now would be the time to call on any deities you’d wish to work with. You can call any Goddess or Angel by personalizing this to them. I typically do not personally work with deities, but if you were to want to, Call to them similar to how the Elements are called. Ex. “I call to Gaia, Mother Goddess, Spirit of Earth.” and then place an offering symbolizing them, so for Gaia you might place  grain on your altar as an offering.

If not solitary, now would be the time to invite others to the circle. The group leader typically invites others in by a series of phrases, although i know every coven has their own method fine tuned for themselves, This is just the method i’ve seen used and am familiar with.                                                                    Group leader:”Children of the Goddess, I now invite you to enter our circle.” Each member will be asked “How do you enter this circle?” The response should be “In perfect love and perfect trust.”

Now its time to raise energy. This is the most important part of this process. It is so important because when you open your circle at the end of spellwork, You release all of your energy you have filled with intent out into the universe to go manifest whatever it may be you have called to. You want as much energy as possible to be released carrying your intent!

Here are a few ways! There is no wrong way to do this part, and there are SO MANY ways. You can fine tune this all to you. Remember that this is your ritual, and you want your energy fully behind everything you are doing. This is all customizable, most of all the energy raising.

-Witches Rune Chant

“Darksome night and shining Moon,

East, then South, then West, then North,

Hearken to the witches’ rune;

Here i come to call thee forth.

Earth and Water, Air and Fire.

Wand and pentacle and sword,

Work ye unto my desire,

Hearken ye into my word.

Cords and censer, scourge and knife,

Power of the witches blade waken all ye unto life,

Come ye as the charm is made.

Queen of Heaven, Queen of Hell, Lend your power unto my spell,

and work my will by magic rite.

By all the power of Land and Sea, By all the might of Moon and Sun,

As I do will, So mote it be;

Chant the spell, and be it done.

Eko, Eko Azarak

Eko, Eko Zamilak

Eko, Eko Karnayna

Eko, Eko Aradia”

-Meditating to raise energy. Visualize energy building and building by visualizing warm, yellow light fill your body until its expanding out of your body and filling the dome above your circle. visualize it filling with energy until you are content.

-Music or Drumming, Dancing and Chanting.

Once you reach your desired energy level, it is time to get into whatever spellwork or ritual you desire to preform!

After your spellwork, its time for Cakes and Ale. I like to make little spirit cakes and have some red wine after a ritual. Expelling all of that energy from your body is draining, and you should take your time to enjoy this part of the ritual. Set a cake and some wine aside for the entities who have lent you their energy as thanks. Cakes can be anything, from saltine crackers to cupcakes. Ale can be water. Anything that works for you is ok. For my cakes, i bake a shortbread and mix whatever ingredients i want into the dough. This way, I can craft them with the intent for whatever ritual i may be doing.

ONCE YOU FINISH YOUR WORK SAY GOODBYE TO THE ELEMENTS AND THANK THEM FOR THE POWER THEY BROUGHT. ALWAYS SAY GOODBYE AND THANK ANY DEITIES CALLED ON. 

HERE IS HOW I DO IT:

-Farewell to Goddess. ex. “I thank you, Gaia, for gracing me with your glory. Farewell and Merry met.”

-Farewell to Quarters (Counterclockwise). 

“My thanks to the element of Water, Your compassion was a gift. Farewell & Blessed be.” Now cover your dish of water or pour it out, Physically say goodbye as well.

“My thanks to the element of Fire, Your fierceness was a gift. Farewell & Blessed be.” Douse your candle. 

“My thanks to the element of Air, Your wisdom was a gift. Farewell & Blessed be.” Douse incense/flip fan/turn over feather.

“My thanks to the element of Earth, Your protection was a gift. Farewell & Blessed be.” Cover earth with a cloth, or return it to ground.

I like to walk the circle the opposite way of its casting three times, and voila!

Keep in mind that this is just my method! There are many methods and this is just one of them.

I hope this is helpful to you! 

-Love and light, @lapiscat

Gods...give me the power to write like that

[teawiththegods]

Regarding the discussion about myth and Hellenismos; from my understanding and what I've seen of the Hellenic Tumblr community(ies), there's a fine line here. Hopefully my perspective has an Orphist may open up some doors for folks. The myths should not be taken literally, very little there is meant to be accepted at face-value--and the Ancient Greeks *knew* this. (1/2)...

(2/2) However, myths should not be waved off entirely as they play an important part in our religion. The myths are symbolism for the deeper understanding of Hellenismos. They are the key to discovering what we call The Mysteries. I hope everyone can appreciate the importance of the myths without taking them literally, as clearly this can paint the Gods in a very bad light and continue to influence misconceptions in and outside of our communities.

Oh yeah absolutely I agree with you! I don’t think any of us here believe we need to trash mythology completely. I actually talked about that previously how mythology does have a role and serves an important purpose. But the problem is that so many people want to make mythology the entire puzzle instead of just a piece. And it’s causing a lot of issues within our community. So that’s why it may sound like we all have a vendetta against mythology, or at least I sound like I do.

I can’t help it. I’m channeling Socrates and he literally died on the “mythology portrays the gods in a bad light” hill!

[kai-curious]

@thepastelpriestess

I know that we shouldn’t take the mythology as definite truth of things the gods have done. But what exactly should we be taking from it? The true intensity of their power? Their wrath?

Beltane in Lockdown and Quarantine

Beltane is in about a week and as most of us realized right now, most of as are going to spend Beltane inside in quarantine. I though I would write a small post to give you some ideas to celebrate at home.

Baking

To me this is the easiest way to celebrate Beltane while locked inside. I gather some recipes that need few ingredients.

Beltane Oats and Honey Scones

Beltane Tea Potion

Beltane Breakfast

Beltane honey-lemon vanilla madeleines

Sweet Earl Grey Lavender Ice Cream with a Blackberry swirl You will need an Ice cream maker for this one!

BELTANE STRAWBERRY LEMON PASSION BARS

Beltane Sangria

House Cleaning

You can easily incorporate cleaning into a very simple ritual, especially on a sabbath day. 

Light a candle

When you clean, be mindful on how you feel. Try to be grateful of your house and imagine that you are getting rid of all the bad energies

Open the windows if possible to let all the good things come into your life and your home

When you are done, take a few big breath and thanks your home for all the good things it brings you

Light an incense stick and let it burn a bit in every room for a final cleanse

Leave an offering to the faeries

If you have a garden or during a stroll (while respecting social distancing) you can leave a bit of milk and honey for the fae! It is there celebration day too, they will appreciate!

Yoga

Try to do a few sun salutation right after getting out of bed. Dedicate your practice to your deities if you have some or just for to Spring that is in full swing right now.

Here is another great post of what to do for Beltane in Quarantine or Quarantane

Some great ideas for the witches in quarantine and the spoonies over here!

An other great Ask about what to do for Beltane in quarantine here too!

one day i'll have a little cottage with an oversized bookshelf and a vegetable patch and a big kitchen where i can bake to my heart's content and i won't have a single worry

[kai-curious]

I’ve been seeing so many videos of witches and pagans who work with deities and it just seems really really nice. It’s seems comforting to know that there’s somebody out there looking out for you.

And—I really wanna reach out to a deity but I’ve just BARELY gotten started with this so I’m going to stick to me research and minding my own business for now.

It just—seems nice.
