“Little Lurkers” Home Protection Spell

My roommate has some people staying a few nights in our apartment, but I’m wary of strangers in my home. So, I came up with a quick little spell jars to keep an eye on them & protect my home from any wanted energies or situations while they’re here.

Ingredients:

Sea salt - To absorb any negativity that may be brought in

Black pepper - Banishing negativity, protection, & uncrossing any destructive behavior

Rosemary - Protection

Basil - Harmony, peace, protection

Fresh thyme - Protection, clarity, cleansing

Fresh mint - Protection while sleeping

I had a little spell chant, but I had to make it up on the spot since my boyfriend was headed home, so feel free to revise it to make it a little more clever. I wispered this to my jars as I filled them, with two white candles burning. 

Keep this home safe,  from all that is bad, the strangers come and go, with only what they had. You lurk and you loom, keeping watch as we sleep, being sure to alert me,  of what I may not see. Only good enters here, and the rest at the door, this home is protected, celling, walls & floor.

Last, I sealed them with a kiss! 

I made three mini little vials of this, and tucked them away in the common areas of my apartment where they’ll be staying, and now I have a little peace of mind! 

Good luck my witchy friends🥀

Tips and warnings for the lunar eclipse tonight

howdy y’all, tonight will be the longest lunar eclipse of the century and I just want to put out some reminders about the eclipse

Do not leave out any items to charge under the eclipse! The eclipse can sever your connection between you and you’re tools

It’s really recommended to only do eclipse specific magic or disconnection magic. Again since the eclipse is a severing it can null spells and other magical work

Since this eclipse is going to be the longest this century it’s going to be incredibly potent, despite being a general rule of thumb only do spells/rituals you feel 100% certain and safe in controlling

Reminder mercury, mars, saturn, neptune, and pluto are in retrograde! Please take this into account while doing your work

The blood moon will also be taking place in Aquarius so anyone with Aquarius in major signs/is Aquarius dominant are definitely going to be affected

If you’re feeling off/sick today,, this dude could be why

🔮Cutting Ties🔮

A spell to sever old relationships

Note: This is not a curse, or an ill-intended spell. This is best used to help “let go” of someone who is no longer in your life.

You will need:

🔮red or white thread/string

🔮taglocks representing you and the other person

🔮a black candle

🔮equal parts rosemary, sweet grass, and sage

🔮a bowl of moon water

🔮a fire safe container

🔮a biodegradable container (such as an envelope)

1. Light your candle. Sit quietly and focus on the candle flame. Think about the relationship between you and the other person- all the good and the bad.

2. Take the taglock representing the other person, and wrap it in your string. Tie a knot to secure it.

3. Tie the other end of the string around your taglock, effectively binding them together.

4. Set your ties taglocks aside, and place your herbs in the fire safe container. Light them, and allow them to burn completely to ash. During this time, continue to think about the relationship between you two- this time really focusing on how it ended.

5. Take the taglocks, and hold the middle of the thread over the flame of your candle. As the flame burns through the string say:

“Our bond released

Our time is past

You have no ties to me”

6. Place the taglocks and thread into your envelope, and add the ashes from your burned herbs.

7. Bury the envelope in the earth, or in a pot of soil. Pour the moon water on top to seal the spell.

Note: I recommend using all biodegradable materials in this spell- including the taglocks. Feel free to replace the envelope with anything else that will decompose naturally: eggshells, banana peels, etc. The decomposition is key to this spell, and when the process is finished the ties between you will be totally gone.

witchcraft psa

instead of jars to bury your spells in, my i suggest the idea of peat pots planters?

not only are they biodegradable, they are useful for many different things. you can grow herbs and starter plants or use them to bury a home protection without the fear of broken glass rising to the surface, or your jar staying in the ground for a 100 years. they also come in many different sizes as well. from large to very tiny

and you can even make your own from left over toilet paper rolls for a byproduct option that lessens garbage going into landfills.

there are plenty of cheaper, earth friendlier options available to us, as witches, at our disposal. it is up to us as a whole to start making better earth friendly choices, to modernize the practice. we are not from the middle ages and tradition has nothing to do with glass jars - we have the knowledge in modern days to realize how harmful the practice of burying jars actually is, we have resources to change that as well.

Autumn Inspired Prompts

You’re a vampire and I’m a witch, we both go to this private school in New England that has a small population of supernatural students. We meet because I need a vile of vampire venom for a potion and my demon best friend said you’re the person to talk to.

We go to a school for supernatural beings and you’re the cutest witch I’ve ever seen but you’re kind of intimidating.

I’m a fairy and my parents told me to never get myself involved with a witch but you’re so sweet and kind and not anything like I was told about witches.

We’re both from ancient supernatural families and our kinds hate each other but to end the centuries of fighting we are to be wed.

There our seven lines of ancient witches referred to as the Seven Devil, there are certain alliances amongst the families and certain feuds. One night a whole line is whipped out, they were an ally of my line an enemy of yours. You’re suspected of being apart of the killings but I can prove you’re innocence. The only problem is our lines are enemies as well and my family advises me not to because it’ll give our line more power. (Bonus: My line was actually behind whipping out the line because they were power hungry and framed your line)

I’m a witch and one night while I’m walking home I’m murdered by someone or something unknown. But a few day later I wake up in the morgue. I got my friend who says that I was saved due to vampire venom in my system, vampire venom in small amounts can slowly heal someone but they’ll appear dead until they’ve made a full recovery. I try to find the vampire who saved me and find you. You tell me you found me bleeding out, near death on the side of the road while you were walking into town so you bit me to save me. (Bonus: You help me find the person or thing that tried to kill me)

I’m a witch and there’s a witch hunter in town and he’s been following me around for the last few days. One day he corners me in the woods near town while I was collecting ingredients for a potion and tried to kill me but you come out of nowhere and save me by killing him. We make eye contact before you run into the woods. Who are you and why did you save me?

I’m a werewolf and have some serious anger issues and you’re a witch who makes theses amazing calming potions with lavender and every time I come in to buy some you me a free lavender candle and every time I light it I’m instantly calm and can’t stop thinking about you.

I just transferred to this private school and all the students talk about the werewolves who roam the forest that surrounds the school for miles, some are even rumored to attend the school. I don’t believe them because wolves are common in this area and werewolves obviously aren’t real. But then one night decide to go for a walk in the woods because it’s a full moon and there’s a light fog so how can I resist and I’m pretty damn sure the cute person from my history class just turned into a wolf, what the hell?

You and your friends are rumored to be descendants of supernatural beings and you’re pretty well liked by everyone but everyone’s also kind of afraid of you. Of course most people don’t believe in the supernatural, but I’ve seen somethings and I’m pretty sure not only are the rumors true but there’s way more to it.

Your a descendant from a famous alleged supernatural being and I’m doing a report on them and how it’s affected your family. You agreed to let me interview and after doing a lot of research I realize that you’re not a descendant of that person but are in fact that person who’s been alive after all these years.

We’re best friends, I’m a vampire and you’re a witch. Shenanigans ensue.

I’m a powerful ancient witch and you’re a vampire who I’ve loved for several centuries but you’re murdered by one of my enemies. I’m now consumed with finding a way to bring you back to life and back to me. I have never been a cruel witch but in this time I am ready to do anything and everything to get my way.

Witch Crafts:  Witch Ball

Witch balls have been a part of pagan tradition for many years. Their purpose is to protect the home and its inhabitants from evil and harm.   Traditionally, you made a witch ball every year to seal fortune and protection for the next twelve months.  You can hang this ornament in a window, over a doorway, in a bedroom or even outdoors; wherever you feel it would serve its purpose the best. It would look lovely as a Christmas or Yule decoration as well!

You can purchase empty ornaments and bottles from craft stores, or re-use old light bulbs for this!  Fill it with the following:  

Sprigs of Lavender to encourage a calm, peaceful environment

Chamomile Flowers to aid in relieving anxiety

Yarrow, Roses and Rose Quartz crystals to encourage self-love and love in relationships

Jasmine Flowers to attract wealth  and sweet dreams

Cinnamon to draw happiness and  comfort

You could also include:

A seashell and a shark tooth to incorporate the magic of the sea

Curly pods (because they are so cute!)

Cloves to attract good luck and prosperity

Anise wards off the evil eye

Other tiny crystals for added energy

A bay leaf for protection

Terrible Choices

"I can't believe you just did that."

"You're going to do WHAT?!"

"Let me count the ways that this is a bad idea..."

"Please tell me you're joking."

"You are going to have a LOT of explaining to do over this one."

"You can make all the excuses all you want, but you really fucked up this time."

"So... I did something that might have been a terrible idea..."

"Do you think we could just forget last night?"

"I'm not sure what happened, but I have a feeling I know who was behind it."

"You know that little voice inside your head that tells you not to do the thing? Listen to it next time."

"You're not a teenager anymore. Stop acting like it."

"What's the worst that could happen from all this?"

"Do not talk to me again."

"It really wasn't THAT bad a decision, was it?"

"Yeah. Okay. I screwed up. Now what do I do about it?"

"Don't try to pin this all on me. WE did this. You were involved."

"You don't have that little voice that tells you when something's a bad idea, do you?"

[text] What happened? Everything's a blur.

"Please, please tell me what I did wrong."

"That was just a giant clusterfuck, wasn't it?"

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. 

[curiowitch]

*drools intensely at the magick*

[phoenix-fire-witchcraft]

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. :)

Wow! So magical. Where I wanna be

[boringangel]

is this real!!!!!!!!

[appalachianoraclewitch]

Learned how to extract pigments from leaves and flowers and various other things. As well as learning how to make essential oils in biology lab today. Science and magick go hand in hand.

[crystalsandpentacles-deactivate]

TELL US HOW

[appalachianoraclewitch]

Using isopropyl alcohol or ethanol put it in a heat safe container about 50-100 mL depending on how much pigment you want and how concentrated you want it to be. Once it starts to boil add your leaves or plants of any kind. I was told even pumpkin would work!

Then boil for about 10 minutes or longer til you get the color you want or til the color in the plant is gone/heavily faded. Make sure to not let the ethanol/alcohol burn dry.

That’s for pigments.

For essential oil he said fill a container with that much olive oil (more like 50ml for that one since it won’t burn dry) and boil your plants in it for about 5 minutes and then let the plant sit in the oil for 48 hours and then strain using like a cheesecloth or something so you don’t get any plant particles.

[herbwicc]

This is neat! I definitely want to try the pigments! The essential oil process your talking about is actually for making herbal infused oils, which is different than essential oils. Herbal Infused Oils are fatty oils like olive oil, coconut oil, vegetable oil, etc. which, once infused with herbs, are generally safe for your skin. You can use them to make salves and creams and candles, using wax and a double boiler. There’s a couple ways to make herbal infused oils, all of which can be done at home and are really fun! Though some of them require more precautions than others.

Essential oils, on the other hand, are made using steam distillation, where the plant is boiled and the steam is what’s collected/separated to use. You’ll usually need a special apparatus for steam distillation, it’s a little more difficult. Essential oils are highly concentrated and not safe for skin, but they evaporate easily and are very fragrant so they’re usually used for aromatherapy.

Fuck yes

[mylifeasanamericanwitch-blog]

A great way to create Samhain candles or spell candles.
