MC’s Guidebook: Knot Magic
I personally live for Knot/Cord magic. It is easy to use and to learn, perfect for the baby witch who doesn’t know where to start when casting their first spell. I also haven’t found a non-wiccan source for Knot Magic at all, so I’m going to make one that goes into it a little more for you guys!
————
What is Knot/Cord Magic?
Knot/Cord Magic is pretty simple. It is a type of magic that uses string as the spell itself.
How Does Knot Magic Work?
For Wiccan’s(usually) knot magic is done with a 9 inch piece of string(or by traditional wicca it’s nine feet) and as you chant a nine line poem/chant as you tie each knot into the string(at equal intervals). This is the spell over all. The way it works is you are putting your intent into each knot you are tying and it holds that intent until you are ready for the spell to end.
What Can it Be Used For?
Knot Magic can be used for any type of spell, from curses to love. The Possibilities are endless!
What Do I Need To Know For Knot Magic?
Some Basics for Knot Magic Would be:
The History of Knot Magic
The Basic Chant of Knot Magic
Color Magic(Some not a lot)
Some Numerology
Some ability to visualize/meditate/placing intent into something
What Do I Need For Knot Magic?
Some String/Ribbon/Yarn
Intent
A Chant(Made or Pre-written)
How Do I Cast a Knot Magic Spell?
Casting a Knot magic spell is simple. Most of the time you are tying knots as you think of your intent until you reach the number nine or, until you feel you are done^^ The intent or better known as the Chant can be thought or spoken aloud.
How Does Knot Magic Work?
Knot Magic works by holding your intent inside each knot you make. If your intent is different for each knot, then as a whole the knot spell will use all of the intents and work together.
Where Can I Do Knot Magic?
That’s the amazing part about knot magic. You can do it literally everywhere! No on is going to really question why you have a little but of yarn or sting on you. It’s amazing.
Why Use Knot Magic?
It’s simple. It’s easy to learn. And its good to use when you have to be discrete about casting a spell!
How Do I Disassemble My Knot Spell?
You untie each knot you made really. Especially if you no longer have a use for the knot spell anymore. For traditional Wicca Knot magic(with the nine knots) you’re supposed to untie one knot a day until there are no more knots to untie.
What Can Be Considered Knot Magic?
Making bracelets/friendship bracelets
Knitting
Crocheting
Braiding
Macrame
Embroidering
There’s probably more to this, but right now this is all I can think of!
Sincerely
The Sleepy Witch

Intuition is real. Vibes are real. Energy doesn’t lie. Tune in.
This is actually called thin slicing. Your brain recognizes patterns from very small “slices” of information by comparing them to things you have experienced before. This all happens very quickly on a subconscious level without our conscious mind being involved. So intuition is actually really fast pattern recognition, and it can be very accurate. So yeah, if you have a gut feeling that a person or situation is not good, get the hell out. Your brain knows what’s up.
When I was young - because I’ve always been a big skeptical pain in the ass - I thought that when people were talking about interpersonal “energy,” they were on some Gay Ass Shit.
Years later, after spending hundreds of hours reading studies about intuition and neuroscience and pattern recognition and the processing power of the subconscious mind, I realized that that kind of talk - “she has such good energy,” “you need to read the energy of the room,” “I just got some really bad energy off of that guy” - is a convenient shorthand for the lightning-fast, weirdly-accurate, real-as-fuck subconscious processing of the probability of positive or negative social outcomes likely to result from hundreds or thousands of variables. That “energy” isn’t a tangible thing floating around in the air. It’s your brain updating you constantly with information about your situation. Listen to it. Especially if it’s telling you to be nervous or scared. Your brain is very good at recognizing danger. Let the enormous processing power of your subconscious mind protect you. It’s better at spotting patterns than you are.
“Bad energy” isn’t some hippie shit. It’s your brain setting off a claxon because it knows something’s not right.
Thin slicing is wonderfully helpful, but be aware that if it’s doing its pattern recognition from bad sources, you need to actively override it. We’re raised in a racist society, inundated with racist media, and bombarded with subtly (or unsubtly) racist advice. Thin slicing can save your life, but it’s also the cause behind the unconscious elements of racism (and misogyny/ableism/antisemitism/islamophobia/etc.) that we all suffer from
Trust your instincts, but if your instincts tell you something that seems prejudicial, double check their work.

Liminality & Liminal Spaces
It’s been quite a while since my last original post, and I profusely apologise for my absence.
What is liminality?
The word “liminal’ comes from a Latin word “līmen”, meaning “a threshold” and its Oxford Dictionary definition is:
Relating to a transitional or initial stage of a process.
Occupying a position at, or on both sides of, a boundary or threshold.
[Source]
That is a brief etymological explanation of liminal/liminality, but,… what is it? What is it in relation to witches and witchcraft?
Keep reading
Other liminal spaces include: The edges of roads/forests, instersections, hallways and doorways, fence posts and hegderows, rivers, stoplights/signs, tide shifts, dawn, dusk, eclipses, etc. Anything that’s transitional or “in between”, really. You can often tell something is liminal because it’ll trigger “the doorway effect”, or in other words, you may momentarily forget something, like a thing you intended to do right before you crossed that space.
we are not born to die!! what are you talking about!! do you think a book begins just to finish? do you think a song opens with a beautiful chord just for it to end? you don’t read the book to finish it, you read the book to eat up the excitement and the emotions it evokes!! to learn and to digest and to fall in love and be heartbroken!! you listen to the song to dance and dance and sing your throat raw!!! to cry and smile and swell with the harmonies!! yes, we are born with the inevitable fate of death, we are mortal after all, but that is merely the finale of the play!! the final act, the closing of the curtains - we are not born to take a bow and exit stage left!! we are born to love and be joyous and yell and move and learn and cry and feelfeelfeel!!! we are not born to die, silly, we’re born to live!!!
16 Uncomfortable Feelings That Actually Indicate You’re On The Right Path
1. Feeling as though you are reliving your childhood struggles.You find that you’re seeing issues you struggled with as a kid reappear in your adult life, and while on the surface this may seem like a matter of not having overcome them, it really means you are becoming conscious of why you think and feel, so you can change it.
2. Feeling “lost,” or directionless. Feeling lost is actually a sign you’re becoming more present in your life – you’re living less within the narratives and ideas that you premeditated, and more in the moment at hand. Until you’re used to this, it will feel as though you’re off track (you aren’t). 3. “Left brain” fogginess. When you’re utilizing the right hemisphere more often (you’re becoming more intuitive, you’re dealing with emotions, you’re creating) sometimes it can seem as though “left brain” functions leave you feeling fuzzy. Things like focusing, organizing, remembering small details suddenly become difficult.
4. Having random influxes of irrational anger or sadness that intensify until you can’t ignore them anymore. When emotions erupt it’s usually because they’re “coming up” to be recognized, and our job is to learn to stop grappling with them or resisting them, and to simply become fully conscious of them (after that, we control them, not the opposite way around). 5. Experiencing unpredictable and scattered sleeping patterns.You’ll need to sleep a lot more or a lot less, you’ll wake up in the middle of the night because you can’t stop thinking about something, you find yourself full of energy or completely exhausted, and with little in-between. 6. A life-changing event is taking place, or just has. You suddenly having to move, getting divorced, losing a job, having a car break down, etc.
7. Having an intense need to be alone. You’re suddenly disenchanted with the idea of spending every weekend out socializing, and other people’s problems are draining you more than they are intriguing you. This means you’re re-calibrating.
8. Intense, vivid dreaming that you almost always remember in detail. If dreams are how your subconscious mind communicates with you (or projects an image of your experience) then yours is definitely trying to say something. You’re having dreams at an intensity that you’ve never experienced before.
9. Downsizing your friend group; feeling more and more uncomfortable around negative people. The thing about negative people is that they rarely realize they are negative, and because you feel uncomfortable saying anything (and you’re even more uncomfortable keeping that in your life) you’re ghosting a bit on old friends.
10. Feeling like the dreams you had for your life are collapsing.What you do not realize at this moment is that it is making way for a reality better than you could have thought of, one that’s more aligned with who you are, not who you thought you would be.
11. Feeling as though your worst enemy are your thoughts.You’re beginning to realize that your thoughts do create your experience, and it’s often not until we’re pushed to our wit’s end that we even try to take control of them – and that’s when we realize that we were in control all along.
12. Feeling unsure of who you really are. Your past illusions about who you ‘should’ be are dissolving. You feel unsure because it is uncertain! You’re in the process of evolving, and we don’t become uncertain when we change for the worse (we become angry and closed off). In other words: if what you’re experiencing is insecurity or uncertainty, it’s usually going to lead to something better.
13. Recognizing how far you still have to go. When you realize this, it’s because you can also see where you’re headed, it means you finally know where and who you want to be.
14. “Knowing” things you don’t want to know. Such as what someone is really feeling, or that a relationship isn’t going to last, or that you won’t be at your job much longer. A lot of “irrational” anxiety comes from subconsciously sensing something, yet not taking it seriously because it isn’t logical.
15. Having a radically intense desire to speak up for yourself.Becoming angry with how much you’ve let yourself be walked on, or how much you’ve let other people’s voices get into your head is a sign that you’re finally ready to stop listening, and love yourself by respecting yourself first.
16. Realizing you are the only person responsible for your life, and your happiness. This kind of emotional autonomy is terrifying, because it means that if you mess up, it’s all on you. At the same time, realizing it is the only way to be truly free. The risk is worth the reward on this one, always source
Thank you
This makes so much sense now tbh
Money spell! Reblog to charge it with your intent; the more people see it, the more powerful it becomes. Magic should be fun!
this actually does work the witches of tumblr really are out here doing something lol
Yesss November come throughhhhhhh!!
Reblogging with all my intent and desire.
I Made $750 For Nothing
I need a transition and also to not be in abject poverty
I too require money.
would like some money plz
reblogging bc after I saw this last time I found out that I haven’t been getting my orphan’s benefit because of an administrative issue, not because I no longer qualify, and got a whole year of back pay
Reblogging because I just got a letter in the mail that there is still some money in my 401k from the job I got pettily fired from and so I’ll be getting somewhere around $650 dollars, thereabouts, in about a month. I MEAN WHAT. Witches of Tumblr, my hat is off to you.
Why doesnt this post ever come around when I’m not already expecting money 😂😂😂
GOOD Witch Starter Kits
Everyone is talking about the “witch starter kit” that Sephora is gonna start selling. It’s like a few sample perfumes, a rose quarts tumble, a sage bundle, and a tarot deck. And it’s $42??? So I just searched Etsy and am gonna link you guys some GOOD witch starter kits that have way cooler stuff for probably way less money. Let’s see what we can find. This one is $28 and has “11 different herbs, two crystals, 2 oils, god&goddess candle, 10 chime candles.” So okay, we’re already off to a way cheaper option with way cooler stuff. This one is $24.99 and has “Frankincense Resin (2 ml vial), Myrrh Resin (2 ml vial), Lavender (2 ml vial), 2 tea light candles with dried flowers melted in, made by me, 1 vial of Full Moon Water, 1 Clear Quartz crystal point, 1 Rose Quartz, 3 incense cones, 1 White Sage Wand (4" long), 1 Meditation Oil Roller ball Perfume (olive oil base with Lavender and Frankincense essential oils) (10 ml)”
$59, but lots of cool stuff.
That’s just a few results from the first page if you search “witch starter kit” on Etsy. WAY COOLER STUFF AT WAY BETTER PRICES FROM PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT THEY’RE DOING.
It’s worth mentioning, new witches– a lot of things can be made yourself. Full moon water? Literally just put some water out overnight under the full moon. You can make it more complicated or less complicated if you want, but that’s all I do and it works great for me. Black salt? Can be as easy as grinding some charcoal/ashes into table salt. Herbs? Hell, you can grab some spices from the grocery and call it a day for half of that stuff. You can also just go out around your neighborhood and pick weeds/wildflowers/whatever. As for tarot decks… I try not to be preachy, but in my personal experience, it took forever for me to find a tarot deck that I really connected to. It’s the Golden Thread Tarot deck, and I absolutely adore it. I tried a couple others before that and they just didn’t resonate with me. If the tarot deck in this Sephora kit looks appealing to you, then I think you should go for it. Otherwise, just search for all the beautiful options that are available. If you’re into the shiny pretty stuff, there’s one called the Luminous Spirit Tarot deck that’s made by the same people as my Golden Thread Tarot deck. There are SOOO many options, and they’re all so different and beautiful and I strongly urge you to look around until you find one that clicks for you. Don’t settle for something you don’t love.
A legit “starter witch kit” 🔮
Alright guys, so now that we know what not to include in a starter witch kit, I have decided to post my own!
Dragon’s blood incense (cone or stick for ease of use)
Why? Because it can be used for both cleansing, and warding.
A piece of clear quartz, onyx, and hematite
Why? For power, warding, and grounding.
A set of chime candles and candle holders
Why? For spells of all kinds.
High John the Conquerer oil
Why? To anoint candles, as it is associated with powering over any situation.
Basic herbs or plants; such as rosemary, sage, thyme, lavender, mint, clove, or basil
Why? Again, for spells of all kinds, and because they’re relatively easy to find.
Small jars
Why? To contain various spells.
Pen and parchment paper
To make sigils or statements of intent
A notebook
To document and record your spells
On The Witch Kit
This will be the final post we have on it, as I don’t really want all the drama, but I feel my opinion needs to be expressed with the new information.
We fucked up. Kinda. We know how the general witchcraft community is, full of shitty people and cultural appropriation. Especially in major corporations, like I see too many dreamcatchers at Claire’s and we all know those aren’t sourced from Native Americans. Let’s be honest, being skeptical of the witch kit was pretty normal. However, maybe it shouldn’t have been as “oh this is bad” as much as “this seems sketchy”
They could have explained before pulling it… Like that was an option… Idk it seems really guilting the way they did it. Like, address complaints…
With the knowledge I have now, I’m not sure I would have supported it anyway. Mass produced witchcraft shit seems dangerous, or at the very least misleading. We all know that sage, a single rock, and a tarot deck won’t do much without actual information. Like this misrepresents witchcraft anyway.
