You Have No Power Over Me

A spell to stand up for yourself and become a confident badass witch.

Requires:

medium sized bowl filled with water (snow water or tap water)

red candle

dried thyme

vanilla extract

cinnamon

an item you wear everyday (jewelry, body spray/perfume, lip chap, etc)

Steps:

Burn the candle so you have enough wax to pour.

In the bowl of water, set your item in. If it is something that can not be set in water, then place it in a jar inside the water.

Drip the wax into the water and add the thyme, vanilla and cinnamon in as well.

Using your finger, stir the water around the item/jar clockwise while saying “you have no power over me”. Focus your energy on to the item and stir as many times as needed.

Wear the item everyday and repeat the spell every couple of months or when you feel the need too.

Slay witches <3

DIY: the CURSE A BITCH edition

So yeah, follow up to this post.

You’ll need: • polymer clay • nails • paints and brushes • a jar • a taglock • salt • black pepper • tabasco • vinegar (the clear kind you use for cleaning) • dirt • gutter water • candles

First I salted all my windowsills and my doorstep with salt to make protect my house. To make sure the bitch wouldn’t be able to counteract, I created a home guardian who acts as a “bouncer” of sort.

Then I made a small poppet out of clay. I tried to make it look as much like the bitch as I could at that scale. Then I drove nails into her, telling her each time why she was being stabbed. “This one is for when you made fun of coworker S”, “this one is for when you bullied coworker B”, “this one is for when you took pictures of me”, etc… I finished by driving a nail in her mouth “that’s to teach you to stop spreading gossips and lies”

I made her look anguished and in pain because that’s why I want for her. Then I baked the poppet, leaving the nails in. I roughly painted it afterward.

Once it was dried, I glued her inside the jar. My taglock this time was a note she wrote me. Her name was even on it, so that was good. I put it inside the jar and lit it up. Watching the flames lick her frame was cathartic.

Once it was done burning, I covered the ashes with salt to ward off her influence and irritate her. Then I ground some black pepper and poured it along some tabasco on her, to burn her. Then I went outside and scraped some dust and hair and dead bugs from the ground and poured it on her, so her reputation gets as dirty as she tried to make mine.

Ew, gross.

I added nails to the mixture so that every time I shake the jar, she’s hit by the weight of what she’s done.

Then I filled it to two third with vinegar. At first I wanted to use the cooking kind, but in the end, the cleaning kind made more sense. I mean, she’s a huge disgusting stain on the surface of earth, so… I topped it off with some gutter water because that’s where she belong, and spat in it three times, thinking about all the crap she had done to me and the others.

Once I was done, I just sealed it with wax and placed it in a dark place where it never sees the light of day.

I poured some salt and pepper on top of it, hence the grains. The color is a lot grosser irl, haha.

Anyway, there you go: how to curse a bitch.

[thecayennekitchenwitch]

From this kitchen witch’s cabinet:

Warming tea infusions for when your stomach is not feeling particularly well. Apples, blackberries, chamomile, and mint all help to ease nausea and other forms of digestive unease.

Apple and Ginger Infusion: Warm chopped apples, a knob of peeled ginger, and two bags of chamomile tea in a pot of water until hot but not boiling. Let steep for ten to fifteen minutes, then drink.

Blackberry Mint Infusion: Warm smashed blackberries and two bags of chamomile in a pot of water until hot but not boiling. Take off the heat, add a spring of mint, and let steep for ten to fifteen minutes. Drink.

Things You Do Not Have to Be In Order to Be a Witch

-Pagan. You can be a witch and be Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu or any other religion that does not use the label “pagan” for itself.

-Wiccan. Witchcraft is a secular practice. Wicca is a religion that involves the practice of witchcraft sometimes.

-Religious/spiritual. You can be an atheist witch.

-Female. Men and nonbinary people can be witches.

-White. A person of any ethnicity or race can practice witchcraft and be a witch.

-Straight. Anyone of any sexual orientation (gay, lesbian, bi, pan, ace, poly, multi, omni…) can be a witch.

-Cis. Trans and nonbinary people can be witches.

-A hardcore environmentalist. Respect for nature is certainly never a bad thing, but you don’t have to chain yourself to a tree or live in a building run entirely on solar power or eat only organic food to call yourself a witch.

-Vegetarian/vegan. Witches can eat meat and animal products. Remember, witchcraft is a secular practice. There is no dogma.

-Full of love and light. Witches who do not follow a religion or moral code that says otherwise may curse as they see fit.

-Dark and scary. Some witches do not want to curse anyone, and that is also fine. Make healing potions and yummy smelling tinctures to your heart’s content.

-Fictional. Witches are real, and they don’t all dress, act or believe in any particular way. All witches are valid.

[aelfcynn]

-Naturally psychic(ally gifted). Not every witch was born able to divine, sense auras, or predict events.

-Anti-science. Love and study of scientific fields and technology can complement witchcraft.

-A childhood witch. Some witches start practicing as adults, after marriage, and are great at it.

-A country dweller. You go, urban witches.

[thehearthwitch]

You don’t need to have a label to be a witch, either. Get lost in all the Green, Nature, Dark, Traditional etc. Witch labels? Don’t use one. You don’t have to label yourself.

[alethiometrix]

^agreed

[the-all-seer]

So I’m a little confused. What does it mean, then, to be a witch? Sorry if I offend I just now realize I don’t know the modern definition of a witch.

[alethiometrix]

No offense taken! Your question is genuine. A witch, in the modern conception, is any person who practices witchcraft, and is a label that is claimed by oneself, as assigning it to someone else isn’t always accurate. Check out this blog and the blogs I’ve reblogged from for more info, and feel free to send asks!

[notebookofspells]

You also don't have to be 100% healthy/physically able! I have a friend who lacks movement in her right arm, and she is a fantastic witch!

“You Cannot Touch Her” Curse/Binding

This curse is particularly for people who have done harm in the past, and as such already known to be a potential threat. The idea is to keep the person from speaking to or approaching the one you’re trying to protect, and to make them feel watched and judged for their past actions.

You will need the following:

A jar big enough to hold a poppet

Some kind of poppet - I used a wooden one with the offender’s name written on the bottom. A photo could also be used

White out

A black candle

A mixture of black salt & cayenne pepper

A sigil of your own design meaning “You cannot touch [name or pronoun]”

A permanent marker

Light the candle and white out the mouth of your poppet. Roll the poppet in the mixture of black salt and cayenne pepper (black salt tends to stain so keep this in mind). Place it in the jar and seal the lid, leaving the poppet inside under the gaze of dozens of eyes. Write your sigil on the lid. During or after all of this, say the following aloud or think it to yourself (change pronouns accordingly):

You cannot touch her. You cannot speak to her. Think of her and bring this curse upon you. May your tongue catch in your throat if you dare to reach her. May you burn and ache if you come near. May you feel eyes upon your back each time you think her name. They’re watching. I’m watching. May you forever question the gaze of others - Do they know the things you’ve done? I do. I curse you. I bind you. You cannot touch her.

Stash the jar in a dark place, like a closet or a cabinet (I don’t recommend burying jars). Let the candle burn until it extinguishes itself.

How to Make Your Own Rosewater (the easy way!)

Collect rose petals, enough to fill a large pot.

Place petals in pot, fill water just over petals, simmer on LOW, do not let the water boil. When the water turns redish and the petals wither and float to the top it’s done.

Strain water into jar. If necessary, place a bowl under jar to save water.

There you are! Homemade rosewater. Add oil or anything you desire, I added vanilla to my rosewater. Refrigerate until cool, then you can pour rosewater into smaller bottles for spritzers :)

(Optional) I saved the petals to grind in my motar, and poured the water into my jar as well as squeezing out any excess water in the petals.

Does anyone know of anyone who works with spirits or... Psychic stuff, I guess? Something very strange is happening to me.

[orriculum]

quick note on fire safety 🔥

i know a lot of my spells involve a candle or something so i just wanted to review general fire safety with y’all (from ur friendly neighborhood fire-certified girl scout)

trying to avoid shit like this:

standard prep:

tie any hair back! hair burns very quickly

wear non-dangly attire. pull/tie back any droopy sleeves or similar. you need a clear view of the fire and to not put yourself in danger by being near it

something to douse matches in immediately, like a cup of water. don’t set blown-out matches down on flammable surfaces. 

vents! if you’re inside and lighting the equivalent to birthday candles, ventilation is not as large an issue, and sometimes can cause larger issues. however, burning large items it best done outside in a fire pit of sorts. do not burn chemicals, plastics, or unknown mixtures inside. 

dousing method: water, sand, appropriate level fire extinguisher. 

contain the fire in a sandpit, rock circle, metal plate, etc. the immediate area needs to be non-flammable. 

things to note:

little sparks that carry outside due to the wind are not an issue outside. that being said, they would be a bigger issue inside. so while ventilation is important, you don’t want to have wind spreading the fire, or sending things into the flame.

avoid burning oils if you have little fire experience, as putting an oil-based fire out with water will not put it out, but make it worse. 

if you are not confident in your ability to react and put out or handle a fire, please do not light any. please find a fire alternative for your spells, such as fire elementals like pepper, carnelian, red ink. 

happy casting!

[notebookofspells]

just a little add on, if the weather is hot and dry, and windy, avoid burning things outside!! wait for better days, as to avoid grass or bush fires

[liberumbrarum]

Physical Healing Bottle Charm

You’ll need: A bottle or jar with lid Any of the following herbs(fresh or dried): rosemary, tumeric, ginger, basil Any of the following oils: lavender, tea tree, peppermint (especially for headaches), rosemary A candle in any of the following colors: green, blue, violet, red or white A slip of paper and a writing utensil

On the slip of paper, write the name of the person to be healed, or what is to be healed if it is you. Add this to your container first.

Then add whatever ingredients you have collected to the jar (herbs first, then oils).

If your jar is a little bigger, consider adding some cleansed water as well (you can cleanse by moonlight, sunlight or by intention).

Carve the same thing that you wrote on the slip of paper onto your candle, and anoint it with one of the oils you chose (I used just rosemary on my candle, and rosemary, peppermint and lavender in my bottle.) Light your candle, and say this incantation four(4) times:

Magic mend while the candle burns  Sickness ends as health returns  Harm to none, so mote it be

Seal your container and drip some wax on the top. Let your candle burn itself out in a safe place.

Do not open your container until the healing is complete.

Edit: I added a picture because this post didn’t have one yet and I actually did this ritual today because my sister is sick.
