The Basics of White Wicca

[csokachild]

I believe this spell is called “Fuck You I Am a Goddamn Witch and Don’t Have to Tolerate This Bullshit”. 

Let’s see how well this plays out for the offenders.

[wishyroses]

oooooooh what’s it do?

[justagaygan-blog]

I wanna know, too. It’s cool as fuck.

[csokachild]

lol, may as well. I’m having some issues stemming from an old friend and their newest romance.  So, I’m intervening. The candles stand for the both of them. Each stone is an issue that’s come between them that they’ve ignored. As my curse burns through each of them, each issue will be brought to the surface and drop to begin building a barrier between them. By the time it’s finished, I don’t expect them to be speaking any more.

My Mom, after having made the courageous decision to leave my incredibly controlling and abusive stepfather of 18 years, is saying she wants to get back together with him. If you don’t mind, I’ll be using this incredibly beautiful spell of yours.

[csokachild]

I am flattered you like this spell enough to use it! And I hope I’m not incredibly late to let you know however that this (as I performed it) is NOT a guaranteed break up spell. If the targets are able to work through their issues as they bubble to the surface and truly care about each other, this spell would theoretically only make their relationship stronger. But that of course is why I love it, it was designed to be a relationship version of The Tower. :)

I remember thiiis

[witchy-lives]

I love you for making this

[stormwaterwitch]

THANK YOU 

[lunar-moonbow]

I have lit two candles tonight, in memory of the lost. One for those who have passed due to terror and other disasters, and one for my beloved George.

For those who may not know, George was my lifetime pet, friend, familiar. Around this time last year he was going through surgery to remove a very large tumor. The doctor said during the operation that they would only be able to remove 80% of the cancer, that the rest had formed in his pelvis bone. The tumor would come back, and I was with him in the doctor’s office when he left us. I miss him every day, and I even catch a glimpse of his spirit rubbing against a table leg or just meandering around. I know he’s here with me, always. Blessed be.

Tea/Coffee Readings

How To

You need to find a cup with a wide brim that’s light in colour, find a wide saucer. Pour in lose tea leaves/coffee (you can buy loose tea leaves or rip open a tea bag) into you cup and add boiling water (Do Not add milk) Drink your tea/coffee while thinking about your question, if you dont like tea/coffee take a few sips. When you are finished drinking take the cup in your dominant hand and place your non-dominant handover the top of your cup. Turn the cup tree times in a clockwise direction. Pour any remaining water down the sink. Place the cup upside down on the saucer or a napkin and turn it clockwise three times, turn the cup over look for the leaves that have taken shapes. When you have finished your reading it is customary to turn your cup over, place your index finger on the base of your cup and make a wish

Meanings  You can twist and turn the cup for new angles to find symbols in your cup, the closer the symbol is to the rim of the cup the sooner it will happen. the further down the longer it will take, tea reading can only predict up to a year. symbols at the bottom of your cup will take almost a whole year to take effect.

Bay

Bay leaves are a mysterious ingredient for soups and stews (you can’t eat them, it’s like swallowing razor blades!). But before you toss a leaf or two into your cooking pot (or cauldron, for all you kitchen witches out there), think about its other uses!

Put bay leaves in each corner of the house to protect its inhabitants, or carry it with you to protect you against black magic. Keep a Bay leaf under your pillow to encourage prophetic dreams, or write wishes on a leaf and burn it to make them come true.

You can also use Bay leaves in spellwork (both in and out of the kitchen) for protection, good fortune, success, purification, strength, healing and psychic powers.

How to Write Your Own Spells

While there’s absolutely nothing wrong with using other peoples’ spells – and in fact there is an entire industry devoted to publishing books full of them – there are times when you may wish to use your own. It may be that you can’t find what you’re looking for in a book, or you might just feel a need to use original material. Personally, I prefer to write my own spells because I am putting more work, more energy, and more focus into the process which will yield better results if written correctly. Whatever your reasons, it’s not as hard as you may think to write your own spells if you follow this very simple formula.

Figure out the goal or intent of the working. What is it you wish to accomplish? Are you looking for prosperity? Hoping to get a better job? Trying to bring love into your life? What is the specific aim of the spell? Whatever it may be, make sure you’re clear on what it is you want – “I will get that promotion at work!”

Determine what material components you’ll need to achieve the goal. Will the working require herbs, candles, stones, oils, incense, flowers, colors, etc? Perhaps a combination. Try to think outside the box when you’re composing a spell – remember that magick relies heavily on symbolism. There’s nothing wrong with using unusual ingredients in a working.

Decide if timing is important. In some traditions, moon phase is crucial, while in others it’s not significant. Generally, positive magick, or workings that draw things to you, is performed during the waxing moon. Negative or destructive magick is done during the waning phase. It may be that you feel a certain day of the week is best for the working, or even a certain hour of the day. Don’t feel obligated to drown yourself in the details, though. If you’re a person who feels confident doing magick on the fly without worrying about timing, then go for it. Personally, I like to make things as intricate as possible due to the mass amounts of energy created from all the work I’ve put into a spell. Though, sometimes less is more!

Figure out what wording or incantation – if any – will be verbalized during the working. Are you going to chant something formal and powerful, calling upon the gods for assistance? Will you simply mutter a poetic couplet under your breath? Or is it the sort of working where you can simply ponder the Universe in silence? Maybe you want to write it instead of speak it? Maybe you want to use an older language? The list goes on. What’s important is that you do what feels right.  

Put all of the above together into a workable form and begin your spellwork!

Tips:

Despite this being a very bare-bones and simple way of looking at spell construction, it does work effectively. You may wish to keep a magickal journal or make notes in your Book of Shadows during the spell construction phase, and then keep track of results as they begin to manifest.

If a working hasn’t begun to manifest within a few weeks – some traditions say within 28 days, a lunar month – you may want to stop and revisit the working. Figure out what variables may need to be changed.

The Universe has a quirky sense of humor, so make sure anything you cast a spell for is worded correctly. In other words, be careful what you wish for, because you just might get it! If you cast a spell for a promotion, you need to make sure that the best friend that you work with isn’t going to get fired in order for you to get that promotion. If you ask for luck, make sure you aren’t going to get bad luck in return. I can’t stress this enough. If you need more examples feel free to ask me. 

Remember that magick is a tool and a skill set, but some common sense should prevail as well. You can cast all day to get yourself a job, but your chances of success are greatly reduced if you haven’t pounded the pavement and sent out copies of your resume.

Warnings:

Never send out negative energy. The Law of Attraction is very real and curses will eventually come back to you, affecting your mind, body, and soul. 

Never tamper with someone’s free will and always have someone’s permission before you cast a spell on them.

Herbal Remedies- Sage

Everyone knows about sage and cleansing. Many witches will recommend you use it to cleanse your home or use is spells. However sage is also an excellent herb to cook with sparingly especially with turkey or veal.

Sage is also useful in other ways as it is anti-septic, astringent, and can be used for gum disease, insect bites, depression and excessive saliva or sweating issues.

Remedy Recipes:

Sore throat Aid: Steep 1 teaspoon chopped sage in hot water. Mouth Wash: Combine 1 ounce dried sage leaves and 1 ounce dried thyme leaves in a coffee grinder. Grind and place in a quart mason jar. Cover with 16 ounces apple cider vinegar, stir, close jar. Let sit for 14 days, strain.

All herbs listed were recorded from this issue of National Geographic.

Wow. People are sacks of shit. I AM a witch, a pagan, a Wiccan, and you dare to tell me that as a man I can’t have a witchsona, because Witch is a feminine term. Bitch. Back up. No. I’ve been a practicing Wiccan for 5 years, have been under the care of a high priestess for 4, and have practiced the craft, you don’t get to tell me how a word from my religion works. Fuck you, and blessed be.

Hi everyone!

Due to continuing circumstances, I will still be on a sort of hiatus. However, I just wanted to share my spoils from the other day's shopping trip!

A couple of towns over from where I live, there is an apothecary that also sells a small amount of witchy things (like candle spell candles, some stones, but mostly herbs and oils and the containers to put them in).

I have been on the hunt trying to get a few herbs together for magick baths and teas and infusions, so, naturally, I blew a bunch of money impulsively! But truly, walking into this store was like a child walking into a chocolate factory. I had to remain set on my goals, so I went with a list of herbs I wanted to get:

Lavender

Skullcap

Chamomile

Bergamot

Angelica

Cowslip

Mace

The store didn't have Cowslip or Mace, but I did leave with Valerian root and Juniper berries! (I skipped the Skullcap, a little to my own dismay) but the store isn't going anywhere!

And so, I'm sitting here sipping on Lavender, Chamomile, and Angelica tea to help keep my nerves calm and improve my concentration at a new job I recently started!

[quid-pro-clone-deactivated20190]

Just spent the last hour building and blessing a permanent altar shrine to The Horned One in the woods around my college. It’s in a little triangle nook in the giant roots of a fallen tree, the whole root system is much bigger than I am. It’s wonderful because the gnarled roots remind me of the horns of the god and the whole thing is like worshipping under the gaze of the Green Man. It took me a while to find this spot, but it’s perfect :)

[lunar-moonbow]

My most sincere apologies for my diminished presence lately, my focus has been drawn elsewhere with jobs and my own mental well-being.

I will return to my usual presence soon, I had an exciting shopping trip yesterday I want to share with you all!

[visardistofelphame]

There is a TON of information out there about witchcraft. A lot of interesting things, a lot of misinformation, and a lot of weird stuff too. When you’re starting out, it can be very overwhelming. Where do you even go? How do you even being? When can you start calling…

[visardistofelphame]

do you have any spells that could perhaps help someone who has a fluttering heart and straying eyes? i am constantly "falling into crushes" over people (usually people i dont personally know, like people in my classes) and my heart really can't handle it! i get so nervous and anxious, i just really want to get rid of all these clutter-causing 'crushes'! i usually don't even like them as people, im just initially attracted to them and know i "have no chance"... /dramatic sigh/

Get a rose (with thorns) and hold it close. You will place these feelings into its bud, and then cut the bud from the stem. Place it into a jar, and then pluck the thorns from the stem to add them the jar. 

"Myself that ails,

now placed away.

This shall not fail,

now gone away.”

[rosemarynaturopathy]

You could probably do this for a few other issues too.

[sanguinewitchery]

Love this! So much idea.

[liberumbrarum]

Bottle magic is probably one of the most versatile and easy forms of spell casting I’ve encountered. It could be as small as a bottle necklace or as big as a large vase or jar (preferably something with a lid, though, to keep the magic in).

Actually a form of folk magic, a spell is sealed…

[secretdreamlife]

[girlhenge]

The following is my personal belief and is not any sort of universal law.

Love is in the air; I get it. The desire to perform love spells/rituals (or have others perform them for you), is completely common. However, please remember that everyone is following their own...

[secretdreamlife]

[lunar-moonbow]

Woah, this is some serious spell casting!
