Hey, I'm fairly new to this whole witchcraft thing and just recently began to be a Wiccan. So, I'm obviously extremely interest and into witchcraft, but I'm a college student and bROKe aS fuCc!! I can't really afford a bunch of crystals and herbs (other than the basic ones I already have in my kitchen). I don't know what I'm even asking, but do you have any tips or anything to help??
You really don’t need fancy things to be a witch. My favorite kind of witchcraft is when I pull string, lint, a nickel, and an old paperclip out of my pocket and a rock from the ground and be like aw hell yeah let’s see what we can do with this today.
Magic is intent. It’s energy manipulation. It’s wanting something and bending the energy of the universe to your will. Tools (herbs, rocks, candles, fancy whatsits,) are all just amplifiers. With enough determination, anything is an amplifier.
also im a natural hoarder and i pick all sorts of stuff off the ground and use that in my practice
Sharpies, in my opinion, are a witch’s best friend. Sigils everywhere. Sigil magic, making pendulum boards, writing chants, etc.
Ordinary Rocks are honestly great. Pick a rock up off the ground, draw a thing on it, charge it, bam you have a charm. Place em around your room, you now have a physical anchor to make a ward or barrier. Paint runes on them for divination. Trap nasty entities in them, throw them at your enemies. The possibilities are endless.
Random Sticks make great wands. And if you know what tree they fell off of and it’s got a good magical meaning, hella.
Tea is nice and different plants can do different things. Shitty Kitchen magic is fun–salt is the best banishing and cleansing tool there is. On that note, tea leaves are for good divination. You can work any kind of food/herb into magic, no matter how basic. Here have a correspondence list.
Cheap tea candles work just as well as fancy ones for rituals, and you can reuse them a lot. Color magic is great but white is the universal candle and can be used as a substitute for any other candle.
Tarot Apps for your phone will do simple spreads and also daily card draws.
Pendulums can be made out of ordinary string and a rock if you wanna go super basic. Necklaces with pendants also work well.
Music magic is totally free. Twist your favorite songs into spells to work for you. Chant them as words of power.
honestly, magic can be found anywhere.
