What do you mean “chat” is now referring to ChatGPT and not twitch chat? What? What? What the fuck? No?
When I address chat I am speaking to a presumed Greek chorus of real human people shitposting on their lunch break, not a machine that devours lakes to covert electricity into slop.
i just heard the phrase “if you wouldn’t trust their advice, don’t trust their criticism” for the first time and i don’t think i’ve ever needed to hear anything more
I wanted to share a quick post about how to lock your mirrors as personally I see it as a necessary protective practice, especially if you're involving yourself with mirror magic or glamour magic.
As my usual disclaimer, this is simply my knowledge and my teachings that I've come across & developed through research, speaking with others, cultural teachings, etc. However, everyone has the right to believe what they like, I just hope this serves as beneficial to some of you somehow, whether it be providing information you resonate with or just teaching you something cool.
And as my usual reminder to any beginner or baby witch... MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THOROUGH PROTECTIONS!
Comment any questions :D
The Important Info
1. Cleanse your mirror (& stake claim to your mirror if that's in your practice as well; recommended)
2. Walk up to your mirror (of course)
3. Put your hand up to the mirror like you're holding a key
4. Turn your hand (“turn the key”), “locking” the mirror
5. Speak out loud “I am locking this mirror. Nothing may pass through this mirror. It is not a usable or working portal.”
6. Tell the beings behind the mirror to go away, ignore their reaction and wait for them to leave (99% chance they'll leave after a bit), AND DON’T ENTER THE MIRROR REALM
Lately I have been interested in love, beauty, and glamour magic, so because of that I have been incorporating hair magic (mostly because I have so much hair I don't know what to do with). I feel like practicing with hair is so underrated because there is so much you can do with it.
Hair magic is one of the most ancient forms of witchcraft across cultures and goes further than most realize. Hair is seen as a living extension of the self, it carries your essence, memories, and vitality. Because hair holds such magic, witches and healers across the world have always worked with it for spell work, protection, glamour, and control.
Why Hair Is Powerful
Hair grows directly from your body and continues to hold energy even after it's cut. That's why you are able to use it in poppets, bindings, or love charms.
Many traditions also view long hair as a spiritual "antenna", helping you connect to divine or for psychic forces.
Hairstyles also reflect how you project your energy and identity. Changing your hair alters how others perceive you and how you radiate your magic.
It is also a symbol of control. Whoever has your hair can influence you magically, which is why witches should keep their own shed strands hidden.
Magical Practices With Hair
1. Sympathetic Magic
Hair in poppets or dolls links the spell directly to the person.
Used for love charms, bindings, or healing spells.
Example: A lock of hair tied with red thread in a sachet for passion magic.
2. Ritual Cutting
Cutting hair - cutting cords, cycles, or burdens.
Cut hair during specific moon phases for added power. (or if you are an astrology witch you probably know more favorable times to cut hair you're hair, like I heard to cut your hair when Venus is in Taurus or Libra, but idk)
3. Hair as a Offering
There are many instances that witches leave hair at crossroads, rivers, or shrines as a gift to spirits, deities, or ancestors/
On the flip side, if you tell any of those entities how someone has wronged you and feed them your targets name and their hair and let them handle the rest.
4. Hair as Protection
Braiding hair with intention weaves protective knots.
In Slavic and Norse lore, mothers braided their children's hair to shield them from evil.
Some witches wear hair tucked or veiled to cloak their energy.
5. Hair Washing / Anointing
Washing hair can be ritual cleansing.
Oiling or anointing hair with rosemary, lavender, or rose is a glamour spell.
Shampooing at certain moon phases can align with growth cycles with magic.
Hairstyles & Lengths with Their Spiritual Meanings
How you style your hair can have an impact. Maybe you want to style it for a specific meaning.
Styles:
Loose Hair (down): freedom, raw power, natural intuition
Braids or Plaits: weaving intentions, protection, containment of energy
Buns or Knots: concentration, inner focus, hidden power
Big or Voluminous Hair: power, presence, magnetism
Half Up, Half Down: balance, liminality, bridging two worlds
