Things I've learned
Easy Kitchen remedies:
Eat fresh ginger if you’ve got an upset stomach
Drink peppermint tea or chew on peppermint leaves when you have a stomach ache
Hold cloves against your gums to numb a tooth ache
Boil parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme and drink them to reduce fever
After cleaning a wound, apply honey to help it heal and keep it from getting infected
Drink catnip and lemon balm tea to calm down after a stressful day
Take 5 grams a night of powdered valerian root to help you sleep and combat depression
Eat garlic to promote digestive health and prevent diarrhea
Dealing with Spirits:
Always leave an offering to house spirits and garden spirits
Only hang bells where you don’t want spirits entering (though there are a few do actually like bells, but they’ve been nothing but positive in my experience)
Clean from the east side of the house, westward
If a fairy ring grows in your garden, wait for the mushrooms to start dying before you pull them out
If you “lost” an heirloom, check your jewelry box, curio cabinet, or the favorite spot your deceased relative liked to keep said object, even if you don’t put it there ever. It may not really be lost.
Always answer the door on Halloween, but don’t let anyone in. (this goes for creepy people too, not just spirits)
Your pet is not crazy. When s/he flips out, reassure them, and be aware that you may not be able to see what they can.
Believe in your own Abilities:
Don’t buy in to the power of persuasion. You may not notice anything supernatural, because there may not be anything supernatural going on.
If you think something happened because you cast a spell, even if you can’t “prove” it, then it happened *at least in part* because you cast a spell. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Sometimes, the only effect a spell has, is to give us enough confidence to deal with whatever it is we were asking for help with. That’s a success in my book, and it should be in yours too.
If you’ve got a bad feeling about something, then don’t do it.
Ginger tea is also good for a fever, but to much ginger in your tea will give you a fever. Always use fresh slices ginger instead of powdered ginger to avoid this problem.
Local honey plus lemon slices plus ginger slices all mixed in a jar with room to move and stored in your fridge make an amazing healthy allergy and cold fighting potion.
If you don’t have mint you can also chew on fennel for stomach relief. If you eat too much garlic you will get diarrhea. Taking valerian root while on Xanax or other similar drugs can increase your chances of side effects. Catnip is fine if you don’t take it in large doses and don’t take it when pregnant. It can stimulate the uterus causing miscarriages.

Don’t forget that you can always use the moon’s energy rather than your own directly for channeling a spell.
You can also use the sun, plants, stones, the earth, water ect.
Basic Crystals for Every Witch 💎
This is by no means all encompassing, but as someone who specializes in crystals, I can say that these are the most basic stones that every witch will want in their supplies.
Clear Quartz🌟 - This crystal can be used for literally anything and is very easy to program with your intent. Stock up on this stone because it can be used in replacement of any crystal in a spell. It is also a great stone to use if you really want to give your will a big boost, because clear quartz amplifies everything. And the best part is if you’re worried about your local crystal shops sources, you can find this stone naturally in just about any creek bed that has gravel patches.
Rose Quartz💘 - The stone of love of yourself and others. This is another handy stone to have because not only can it help encourage self-esteem, but it can bring love your way. Familial, platonic, or romantic. It won’t discriminate based on what you want or need.
Amethyst🔮 - A great stone to use if you’re looking for inner peace in your life. This stone brings about a soothing environtment and helps to keep you calm and collected. And for any aspiring psychics out there, this is the perfect stone to start training your third eye. Good for any spell where raw spiritual energy is needed.
Smokey Quartz⛰ - A really good stone to keep you grounded and connected to the psyichal plane in times of high stress. It takes negative energy and cleanses it before releasing it back into the world. Placing it at the feet opens a protective circle.
Hematite⚔️ - A good stone to use if you have issues with anger. It can help promote level headed thinking, especially in times of stress. Also a very good protection stone, carrying it in your pocket creates a ward/barrier around yourself to keep out negativity.
Sunstone☀️ - A great stone for those struggling with depression, or having a lot of self worth issues (!!this does not replace a doctor and medicine!!)) Its the stone of the sun and brings with it happiness and joy.
Moonstone🌕 - A stone of great love and sympathy, is helps foster positive energies and emotions. Bringing you closer to your feminine side, this is the stone of the moon. Also another good stone for those aspirings psychics!
Labradorite✨ - My absolute favorite stone that’s great from beginners because it can help light your path in the craft. It can bring you inspiration and helps you think outside the box.
Sodalite📚 - The stone of logic and intuition. A very good piece to have for all the baby witches and students, because it can keep you focused when researching and studying. Can also aid in soothing a panick attack.
Turquoise💊 - This is a very good general healing stone, and good to have for my healers out there. (!!this does not replace a doctor or medicine!!)) It can also help bring friendship.
Pyrite⚡️ - Not only a good stone to use if you’re looking to bring wealth to yourself or home, but great if you’re feeling sluggish in the morning this stone can help give you a little energy to start the day.
Hot take: your tarot cards aren’t calling you out or berating you, they’re just bringing things to your attention. Your perception of an overly-critical tone is a result of the imbalance between your ideal self and your actions, and it is a projection of your own negative self-talk onto the cards
If it feels like your cards are being mean to you, then you aren’t being true, honest, or kind to yourself in that moment
Some Sigil Basics
Ok so let me just start by saying this is some VERY beginner stuff that a close witchy friend gave me and I figured I would put it here to share with the world!
Begin with a simple phrase
I’m going to use the phrase “I am safe and protected” because it is a little more complex
Take out all the vowels
In the instance of this phrase we are then left with “m sf nd prtctd”
Take out duplicate letters
That will leave us with “m sf nd prtc”
Match the alphabet to letters…
There is no other way to describe this than with a picture…
Match the letters to numbers
So “msfndprtc” = 416547923
Match the numbers together with lines on your circle
So another picture is… my only form of help!
Your sigil is finished!!!
So this is what mine looked like when I was totally done adding my flourish to it!
So this is… how it’s done? I know I probably did a TERRIBLE job at explaining this but I am willing to help anyone who has any questions!!!

Common Desk Supplies in Witchcraft
📎 Paper clips - Paper clips are made of steel, which is mostly iron, so it can be used as a substitute for iron or iron shavings. Cut one up and put it in a protection powder. Or, you can bend it into a shape (like a sigil) for a simple window protection spell. Paper clips are known for their elasticity and tension, making them great for change spells, friendship spells, or even curses. They can also connect certain things, or make chains. On a practical note, paper clips can be bent into mini candle holders.
💌 Tape - Tape can obviously be used for bindings. It can also be used for invisibility spells or glamors, if you cover a certain word or object with tape. Using tape on a poppet may help protection or healing, but only for a little while.
✏️ Pencils/Pens - These uses change based on color. However, all of them can be used as wands, or to amplify a spell. You may bless or enhance a pen by washing it with a soap or tea, or cleansing it in incense smoke.
📑 Staples - Also made of steel, staples can be used for wards and bindings. Any spell involving pain can include staples. When you staple, you instill pain; when you remove a staple, you heal. They can also connect certain things, and are good for knowledge or love spells.
📌 Thumbtacks - These are great for protection jars, banishing spirits and, of course, curses. To see through certain situations, you may use a thumbtack to poke through a paper or bag, representing clarity. However, be aware that clarity obtained this way may not come pleasantly.
📝 Sticky notes - Sticky notes have more flexibility than regular paper, in that you can attach them. Use sticky notes for sigils on the go, or stick several sheets of sticky notes together in order to represent layers. If you would like to expand your knowledge, reveal a secret, or even divine, you can write on the top sticky note with a colored pen that matches the intent. Then place a drop of essential oil or moon water on the top note, and see what shapes it forms in the bottom notes.
✒️ Highlighters - Highlighters can be used similarly to pens. They also add extra light and glow to a design, which amplifies a spell’s power.
🔗 Rubber bands - You’ve probably used rubber bands before to wrap up baggies and such. In magic, they can represent tension, flexibility, binding, or releasing emotions. Stretch a rubber band between two poppets (or other symbols of people, like apples) to represent tension between two persons. In the same way, you can also use rubber bands for love, passion and lust spells.
✉️ Envelopes - Envelopes represent anything that encompasses, compresses, or confuses a person. Open envelops or write inside of them for inner clarity. Seal the envelope for anything you want to forget, trap, or hide. You can also use envelopes to hold herbs as a discreet form of witchcraft.
❌ Erasers - Obviously, erasers can help banish or hide things. They also work for invisibility spells, and release a ton of energy through friction. You may want to consider writing a sigil on an eraser, and then erasing it until the sigil wears off.
✂️ Scissors - Scissors can act as a magical knife for those who do not yet have one. Scissors can disconnect and cut off regrets, guilt, persons or memories. Scissors can also be used to carve into candles.
📏 Rulers - If you’re into number magic, a ruler is the tool for you. Imagine drawing a symbol in the exact dimensions of a number that corresponds to your intent!

Tips for writing spells:
If you want to keep something close, bury it in your back yard. If you want to attract something, bury it under the front door step If you want to destroy its influence, burn it. If you want it to move away and sink, throw it in running water If you want to disperse it to a distance, throw it into a crossroads If you want to fix its influence, inter it in a five-spot pattern If you want it to work by means of spirits, bury it in a graveyard If you want to hide its point of origin, conceal it in a tree If you want it to work in secret, give it in food or drink If you want it to work by stealth, hide it in clothing or on objects If you want its influence to begin or strengthen, throw it East If you want its influence to end or weaken, throw it West If you want its influence to rise and fall cyclicly, float it in a tidal estuary
Oh, guys. Oh. Guys. This, if you’re ever stuck on how to perform a spell! Handy little guide of awesome.
If you want to work with ancestors or guardian spirits, put it to the North. If you want to work from a place of innocence, put it to the South. If you want its effect to be strong and quick, burn it. If you want it to curse- burn it then bury in the West of a crossroads. If you want to break curses, soak it in water in the West. If you want to add extra power to your spell, dance before dealing with the incantation. If you want it to work by means of spirits, call to the directions If you want it to work by demons, put it in the forever-dark place If you want it to work by angels, burn then put ashes into sanctified water. If you want it to cleanse, shred it and bind in a bundle of sage. If you desire freedom from a situation- do it behind your back.
