Lost Object Spell

A spell to enhance your concentration and mentally retrace your steps to the last known sighting of your missing item. You can initiate this ritual anytime, but performing it during a Full Moon will significantly boost its power.

Needed:

• A suitably sized mirror

• An orange candle

• A black candle

• A magnet

• Basil oil

• Patchouli incense

Instructions:

Arrange the mirror on your altar, position the orange candle to the right and the black candle to the left, with the magnet right in the middle. Move clockwise around the room with a lit patchouli incense, inviting the elemental energies into your circle, conclude in front of the mirror. Envision the missing item and chant: "With sight and sound, let what's lost be found". Apply basil oil to the black candle and light it, focusing on the missing item. Do the same with the orange while recalling its last location. Touch the magnet, look in the mirror and chant: "Shown in the mirror, may the magnet draw near what's dear". Maintain your focus on the mirror, repeating the chant and remain open to any visual hints that might indicate where the item is. Convey your thanks to the elements by saying: "Elements of Earth, Water, Fire, Air, I entrust this circle to your care. Return to the depths and the skies, with my graditude and loving goodbyes". Circle your space counterclockwise with the incense. Allow the candles to burn down naturally with the magnet between them, then proceed to retrieve your misplaced object.

Witch things to add in your room, poor person edition

Fuck it Most of witchcraft people tell you to buy shit. So here's some stuff u can do for free

grab some sticks from the ground, bind them together in a shape you like, add intent (usually protection), hang it up

make a flower crown, add protection intent, dry it out, hang it up. protection spell and real ward. regularly recharge intent.

dry plants, set warding intent, hang them up.

crushed eggshells on your window sill to prevent bad energy.

wear a bandana or veil somewhere on your body, sometimes i use mine as belts, to protect from bad vibes.

paint your nails in the color meaning you want. mine are pink for self attraction rn

when you light up a candle always ask if theres a spirit or entity there, pyromancy skills can be learned through google, tumblr, and tiktok.

Regularly clean and rearrange your altar if you can't practice everyday, this keeos the space clean and shows entities around that even if ur not active, you're still a witch

A cup of water can be an offering to anyone, imagine being an entity and you can't have water at all for centuries??

If you have glasses, draw a sigil on them while you clean them (i usually wash mine with soap and water to make it extra clean ((and dry with paper towels)))

Give your wall art jobs. Sure they can be decorative, or they can be extra eyes to watch you while you sleep to make sure no one messes with you. (Ive had so much wall art fall in the middle of the night and turns out smth was trying to get in my room...)

If you have black-out/thick curtains, let the sun in!!! I keep them tied during the day so i can use natural light and ease up my electricity bill

Change ur bedsheets semi regularly, it doesn't need to be every week, but keep in mind bedbugs and other entities can get trapped there... or even try to get there to make your sleep unrestful.

If your room is a bio-hazard, at least make pathways so you can walk without injuring yourself.

Thats all i have for now <3 blessed be and fuck capitalism

💫🔮To All the new/baby witches (and closeted witches) out there!!🔮💫

So I have a friend who is relatively new to the craft and in sadly, in the broom closet.

I’ve been helping her put with ingredients to replace things if she doesn’t have them, little ways to do witchcraft around the house low key and other things to help, so I thought I would make a list for anyone who would need it or find it helpful:

🔮Rosemary can’t replace any oil/herb you need

🔮Clear quartz can replace any stones you need

🔮A white candle can replace any candle you need

🔮Roses can replace any flower you need (white works better)

🔮Strong/meaningful song lyrics can be used in spells if you can’t search for some

🔮Use your mind, imagine your outcome, this is usually the most important part in any spell

🔮Keep! A! Book! Of! Shadows! Or! Grimore! Record all of your short cuts and/or home made spells!! It can be in your phone, in a leather bound book or a shittt dollar store notebook

🔮Do little things that make you feel magical! Like dancing in the rain or standing in the snow or running with the wind or even sitting in your room and blasting your favorite song. If it makes you feel good than do it!

🔮Keep bottles of moon water in cups or water bottles

🔮You don’t need fancy/expensive things. All you really need is yourself and a motive/strong feeling

🔮Don’t feel bad if you miss(and role can’t celebrate) a holiday!

🔮You don’t have to believe/worship a specific deity or you can worship/believe in all of them! That’s one of the things I love most about this- everything is up to you

🌙🌞Remember: being a witch and practicing the craft isn’t about how much or little you have, but about your love or your craft (✨❤wether you are a kitchen/green/astral/black magic/white magic/crystal/whatever else witch❤✨). And whatever energy you put into your spell or practice or even every day things, that’s what counts.🌞🌙

💫Stay safe my little witches!💫 And for all the others out there, feel free to add on to the list or tag someone you know who could use this!!

[solitary-pagan-deactivated20230]

The Gods - who or what are they?

Introduction

Throughout the human history, few topics have gained such importance as those about the Divine. Many questions had been asked and various answers and theories were given, yet we still cannot know for sure what is the Divine, or its nature, or does it even exist.

However, despite that, various religions and spiritualities tried or they are still trying to offer a logical explanation for this topic. Paganism is also one of them, although the difference between Paganism and the other religions is that in Paganism there is no official dogma, so various people have different theories about the existence, nature etc. of the Divine.

As someone who struggled and wasted a lot of his time on thinking about this topic, I wanted to share some of my own beliefs in order to maybe help those who are still struggling with this part.

Important note: Everything here is just my own (or someone else's) theory. It should not be taken for granted or as a dogma. I also kept it very basic, mostly because I am just a human with very limited comprehension and I simply cannot know anything for sure. However, these theories are very important for me because they give me a frame in which I can work and develop my spiritual path and in the end, myself.

The Divine - One or More?

Using the historical Paganism as my foundation, I support a polytheistic worldview. For those, who like to use soft and hard polytheism terms, I would label myself as hard polytheist - I see every deity as a separated being and not just an archetype or a symbol.

My reasons for being a polytheist are:

I am attracted to the polytheism since my childhood

While the nature and the universe are very diverse (different species, different planets and galaxies etc.), the idea of monotheism does not seem very logical to me

Most of the old pagan religions were polytheistic (Celtic, Nordic, Slavic, Roman, Greek etc.)

One divine force but various deities?

As there is one life force that drives us humans and other living beings, I believe that there is also one divine force that drives the deities, however, that force is not deity itself, it is just a potential.

As the life force has a potential life but it is not a living being itself, same goes for the divine force - without deities, it would be just a "dry" potential - force that cannot do much on its own but it only bares a great potential. Or like electricity, which cannot do much if it is not properly directed.

When it come to its qualities, I avoid to think too much about it because of the previously stated reasons. However, I believe it is much stronger and completely consistent in comparison to our life force, which follows the path similar to the one of the Moon: beginning - growing - peak - waning. I would describe this force as a synthesis of never ending creative and destructive power which keeps the universe in the balance.

Deities - their beginning, nature...

I believe that the deities are there from the very beginning, or to use Christian expression - they are both a beginning and an ending. Since this concept exceeds our minds, I will stop here.

When it comes to their nature I believe they share the same quality with the force it drives them - some of them are more creative, other more destructive. In my opinion, no deity could be good or evil, they are as they are - good and evil are concepts that are unique to human worldview and do not exist in objective reality (this is again just my opinion and worldview).

Now, a question about whether the deities are omnipotent and omniscient could be asked. According to my beliefs, I would say this: they are omnipotent from the point of view of a human being and they sit on the border with omniscience. Let's analyze this:

Omnipotence: In theory, they can do anything but that does not mean they will. This could be compared to the "A strong person knows his power and therefore, does not have a urge to show it all the time". Also, I believe that they help other beings or answer to the prayers of the humans as long as the balanced is not violated. The feeling for the balance, however, is something unique for the deities and comes from within them, similar to an instinct. Again, this is something that goes beyond human comprehension, so it is highly theoretical.

Omniscience: The omniscience of the gods could be explained like this - imagine that you are in the room with your two friends. You are playing your favourite video game and you are focused on it, but your two friends are talking with each other. Because you are in the room, you can clearly hear them but because you are focused on the game, you do not hear really every detail or at least, you do not respond. You sometimes respond and you actively chat with them after they call your name and ask a question. This example is very "humanish" but that is exactly how I imagine omniscience of the gods. They indeed hear everything and know everything but they do not always respond or participate in the things that happen, however they do/can answer when they are called and that is mostly why prayers work.

Conclusion

This was very basic frame about my polytheism and beliefs. I am aware and acknowledge that there are certainly loopholes, or even some logical mistakes, however, this is just a scheme, not a set of rules or a dogma that must be accepted. As I will experience or realize different things, I will also continue to upgrade and change these beliefs. That is also what I advice to the others - it is not always easy, but try to find what seems logical to you. I hope you will find this post useful and helpful.

Some things baby witches should know

Scrolling through witchtok -ew- I've come across a ton of misinformation, even some one here. So I've decided to put together a small list of things I feel like baby witches should know.

1. Not all spells need to be in a jar

2. Deities don't talk to you like normal people do

3. You don't have to be wiccan to be a witch

3. You don't need to be religious to be a witch

4. Not every herb is safe to burn

5. Most essential oils cannot go on your skin

6. Some herbs/teas can have side effects

7. Do not try to cleanse your outdoor space regularly. Say youre doing a one time spell, yeah sure but nature doesnt need to be cleansed

8. DO NOT PUT SALT ON THE GROUND, PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GODS.

9. There are other pantheons beside the Greek.

10. The Greek gods are nothing like Percy jackson

11. Shifting is NOT apart of witchcraft

12. Your pet does not automatically become your familiar

13. Entity work/Deity work requires at least 2 years of practice and research IMO

14. Keeping a BOS/Grimoire is not needed but will help you...A LOT

15. You do not need to attend every holiday or full moon

16. CLEANSE THE LID TO YOUR JAR ASWELL AS THE JAR
