If you're out here characterizing Mother Earth as someone who'd boast that she brought you into this world and that she can take you out, you should examine where this feeling that mothers in general should be allowed to threaten and enact violence upon powerless children came from, and ask yourself why you're carrying on with that kind of authoritarian worldview.
It's wild when modern witches act like visualization is this big important crucial thing in spells. We have lots of books of old folk charms from way back when, and not a single one I've read has ever said a single thing about visualization.
to rewild your witchcraft
walk barefoot on stones in shallow streams.
talk to the wind and let it carry away your regrets.
forage for wildflowers to place on your altar, press in thrifted books, or give to loved ones —be careful when identifying
watch sunrises and sunsets. wake up before the sun. bare witness to the painted sky.
spend hours in the woods among the wild. take long long walks or sit still and watch the world.
talk to plants and listen to them. make friends.
get field guides to trees, plants, birds, etc. that are native to your area. learn which are which. bookmark pages that you recognize or want to find.
sing back to the robins. caw back to the crows.
journal by firelight and feel the flame burn your worries away.
gather snow and bring a bowl inside. talk to it and tell it your worries. your fears. let it melt, transmuting your stress and worries into healing nourishment. bring it outside and water the soil. see how things can be changed.
dance. run. move your body to sweat, if this is something you can do
collect stones from the river and try to find the best ones. keep them in your pocket. hold onto them to remember that you’re an animal.
go to a lake and float. feel the water carry you. lifting you from your stress. bring a vial and collect some for spellwork.
make a necklace out of an acorn and thread.
stand in the rain. dance in it. lay down in the grass and let it pour. let it wash fears away, transform doubt to hope. start anew.

(wild winter witchcraft here)
This is my spell for self cleansing by drinking a glass of water with a tiny pinch of salt in it, it's based on sea witchery-
Little rituals count too. Stir with intention.
Witchy summer
Psst, hey. Hey. Before you go blaming your bad mood on negative spirits or needing to smoke cleanse, consider: when was the last time you deep cleaned your home?
Reminder that no one is a "born witch".
Your blood, DNA, family, genetics - whatever - do not make you a witch.
Witchcraft is a path you choose to walk upon, all you have to do is take the first step.
Witchcraft is a CRAFT. Like art or baking or woodworking.
Some people may have been born into a family or artists or bakers or carpenters, or perhaps they have a natural affinity for watercolour or encouraging sourdough to cooperate or cutting smoothly along the grain but that doesn't mean they're born for it, and it also doesn't mean that someone else cannot also learn those skills and be just as talented or passionate.
Simple daily protection magic 🧿
For when you don’t have the time or energy for a full ritual:
• cleanse your phone with sound or visualisation
• sprinkle salt by your windows + door
• carry black tourmaline or obsidian in your bag
• wear gold jewellery to strengthen your aura
• say: “only love and truth may enter my space”
you don’t need candles to be protected. just intention. always.
🟣 TAROT TIPS FOR ANY LEVEL 🟣
Every pack is different in its energy, advice, art, and use. I have multiple decks to use for different scenarios.
You don't need all the fancy accessories so don't stress over them. All my cards are kept in a drawer in their original boxes.
Please don't cleanse your cards by shaking them in a baggie with things, especially coarse things like salt. I don't know what I was thinking when I did this. You will scratch your cards.
If your cards are sticky, try some baby powder.
You can mix incense ashes in baby powder to bless a new deck.
If you're struggling with picking cards from intuition, just wait for the trusty jump out.
Not all reverse cards are the opposite.
The art on the card reflects the personally held meaning from the creator of the deck so not all universal meanings will hold true for every card.
Your intuition will help guide you to messages and meanings.
Tarot is a great tool for meditation and trying to get your thoughts in order.
Sometimes, the meanings can feel kind of fortune cookie like. That's because usually they're there to help paint a broad picture. You can refine this with an extra card or two as well as your own thoughts.
If using tarot for spirit work, leave an offering for both the cards and the spirits and make sure to thank both at the end.
You don't need to use them every day to build a connection to them.
Tarot is a great tool, but nothing is ever 100% and the future is always changing so don't stress if the cards were wrong a couple times.
Developing your own ritual for big readings will help you focus and channel your energy and make the whole experience better.
Tarot takes a lot of practice to get super comfortable, but don't let that discourage you. The time will pass anyways.
You can use different decks in the same reading.
Tarot and oracle cards are two different things but can also be used together.
Cards are flammable. Please keep away from areas with high heat and open flames.
You don't have to ascribe to other's beliefs and rules when it comes to your personal practice. Some people don't do yes/no for tarot and some do. Some treat their decks with utmost sacredness and some don't. It's your practice to do as you wish.
For a personal deck, you can ask it for a card that indicates the reader (you) and a card to indicate anything else you need a reference to. Doing this can also give you insight into yourself and your energy.
My favorite simple wards to guard the home
Hanging rosemary above the doorstep, and/or above doors of the house for protection.
Sprinkling a line of dried red pepper on a windowsill, to counter a curse.
Placing a mix of dried & ground eggshells and black pepper in every corner of a room to keep out unwanted spirits.
Placing a decoration representing a witch in the kitchen, to keep away illness and to favor health.
Crafting an effigie (no matter how crude!) and make it into the guardian of your home by charging it with your intent of protection and placing it near the front door.
Crafting small witch ladders to hang around the house.
Elemental Workers: I see you
I just wanted to get on here and say to all my elemental friends that I see you.
Everyday, my community does extraordinary things with their work, whether its deeply connecting with earth on an extremely spiritual level, contributing to weather patterns with a long standing tradition in weather magic, building up eco-systems to make them a better place, Healing our minds and bodies using sacred elemental abilities, or speaking out about injustices that harm our magical community at large.
It is a travesty how often many of us are labeled LARPers and Liars for our remarkable abilities, how many of us are afraid to talk about our paths in fear of judgement, how many people feel they are 'doing the wrong thing' because it doesn't look like the same magical practices that are deemed 'acceptable', and how much of our community has been lost to time or demonized by history.
I want each of you to know that your struggle is heard, seen, and validated. You are not fighting alone, and your work and accomplishments are nothing short of astonishing. Your practice is your own unique interpretation to something timeless, and know you're so much more powerful than you might think.
Fair winds to all my elemental friends
Sometimes tangible, real life magic is just a shift in perspective. You can make something mundane magical if you just wish it so.
Good morning witches! Get outside, find something that helps you relax
how to enchant items 🔮
to enchant an item is to infuse or fill it with energy. in witchcraft, this is commonly done with intent or to serve a specific purpose. this energy can come from a variety of sources, including celestial bodies, elements, crystals, herbs, or even yourself.
some individuals use the words “enchant” and “charm” synonymously as a way to describe the process of infusing something with energy, but for the sake of this post and due to my own beliefs, you enchant something and it then becomes a charm. alternately, a charm can be something with its own innate energy, like a crystal or herbal amulet.
enchanting items to turn them into magical objects involves more than just intent - you must learn to channel and manipulate energy, and direct it into that item for enchanting to be successful.
all that aside, the process of enchanting is extremely versatile and there are many ways to do it.
here are a few ideas on how to enchant items, in no particular order:
surround the item with corresponding herbs or crystals
place the item in a jar filled with corresponding herbs or crystals, seal, and set aside to "charge"
place the item in front of a colored or scented candle that corresponds to your intent and meditate
anoint the item with an oil, charged water, or crystal elixir of corresponding intent
hold the item in your hand(s) and visualize it filling with energy; you can also speak or sing your intent aloud and play music if you want
craft a sigil to keep near the item in an envelope or sachet
sew, stitch, or carve a symbol into the item
write your intention on paper and keep in an envelope with the item; bonus points if you add a tarot or oracle card to the envelope
bury the item in a mixture of soil and corresponding herbs
pass the item through incense smoke
pro tip: time your enchantments with the appropriate planetary hour, day of the week, time of day, or lunar phase to increase your chances of creating a successful charm.

Plant magic is so amazing
I get to have a relationship with a plant—a being so different yet so similar to myself. And they see me. They see me through their lens of existence, their personalities, and instead of letting that personality shape me they let it interact with me.
I love doing things for plants because it genuinely fulfills something deep within me—within my green soul. It does something to the soul that cannot be given an analogy or coherent explanation. Working with and building relationships with plants will always be rewarding to me because giving respect to our teachers is a gift within itself.
And the plants do teach. Even if they say no, even if they do not do things for you, even if they will never work with you, they teach you. They teach boundaries, the way of the natural world, what it means to embody something, what it means to not have access.
And when they do give, it is transformative. It’s understandable why they do not give so willy nilly because the transformative power of themselves, when revealed to me, was genuinely a change in the way I view reality. And I’ve only had a handful of these experiences.
The plants are so amazing, and being connected with a plant is a feeling like no other.
What is everyone doing for the summer solstice (if anything) this year? ☀️
I'm planning on some simple spellwork, offerings, tarot readings and simply enjoying the sun with good drink, food and company.
