Spell Creation and Casting

We all have had troubles with spell creation. Are you a baby witch just starting out? Are you still in the broom closet? Maybe you're just too close to the situation and want outside help. Either way, I am here for those spell creation needs! Pricing begins at $5 but will vary depending on how intricate you would like the spell to be.

The same can be said for casting. Maybe you have the spell but don't have the energy (or are second guessing yourself too much) to cast it. Maybe the spell is too powerful for your abilities at the moment. Whatever your reason is for being unable to cast, I'll cast it for you, with all of the intent you could possibly want! Same with creating the spell, pricing begins at $5 but will vary depending on how intricate the spell is.

Spell Jar Creations

*As a warning, this service may result in asking for your address in order to send you a physical product! If the jar is being created and not being sent to you, you will be charged for both the Spell Jar creation and spell casting.

Spell Jars are extremely convenient! You can carry them around as a talisman, turn it into jewelry and wear it as a protective charm. They can be buried (when made with the correct tools) and they can be destroyed if needed (and very easily).

I will create a spell Jar tailored to your needs and either cast the spell and bury it for you or I will send you the finished jar.

Each jar begins at $15.

These services are always available! Message me or shoot me an ask and we can go from there! As I asked before, please reblog this to make sure whoever is in need can see it!

GreySorcery’s Script Design Service:

Hey babes! I have received SO MUCH love over my scripts and grimoires. I figured that I could offer a paid service to help others feel the same love for their own magical books. Here’s how it’ll work:

DM me or Email me ([email protected]) and request the service. I’ll send you a link to my paypal and request that you pay the iterations cost.

I’ll ask you a few questions about the over all vibe and aesthetic you’re going for.

Then I’ll create several iterations and allow you to choose the one you like the most. Once you’ve chosen, I’ll send you a link to my Paypal and then I’ll create a digital rendition of each symbol and their Latin-based symbol/phonetic counterpart.

How I’ll charge:

$20 for time spent on iterations; even if you decide not to use the service, I will charge for the time I spent creating iterations for you.

$40 for time spent digitally creating your script! Meaning, once I complete your iterations you can either stop there and pay only $20 or you can get the digital rendition by paying a total of $60

I will also charge $10 for any extra consultations. I am willing to help you find the most aestheticly pleasing way to use your script, what mediums would be best and how to proportionally use them on a page.

(Reblogging this post will enter you into a bimonthly raffle for a free script design. The first drawing will be April 9th)

How do i start/maintain magickal practice in the face of depression and anxiety?

You do magick anyways. There will always be a reason why you can’t do magick. Always. You either power through it and continue your practice or you give up magick. There’s no trick.

[thewoodbinewitch]

Respectfully, there’s totally tricks. Yes, you keep practicing, but fuck you if you think powering through is the only way to keep practicing while in the middle of a depression and anxiety spell.

Sometimes you just don’t have the energy to keep doing new things, expending power for the sake of your practice. I know how that is, and it’s okay to feel that way. But what you do is you invest in your routine.

Brushing your teeth? That’s brushing away all the foul words you’ve said about yourself. Hard to say ugly things when you’ve got sparkling chompers.

Combing your hair? That’s untangling all the negative thoughts and smoothing out the stress.

Eating a handful of lunch meat straight from the fridge? Sweet, you just made sacrifice at the altar of your body, good for you for feeding yourself you funky little magic person.

Laying face down in bed? Meditation time.

Crying in a bathroom at work? Pain is power, and your tears are salt cleansing your soul to prepare you to get out there.

Yes, it’s also helpful to have outside energy sources, lucky talismans, herbs to calm you down. I use a lot of worry stones and hang around plants a lot. But if you just can’t move, can’t think, and feel utterly powerless in the face of mental illness, don’t worry. You’re always doing magic, you’ve just got to realize it.

[coyote-696]

Jesus fuck  N O. This is rationalizing not doing magick by pretending basic fucking hygiene is witchcraft. This isn’t maintaining a magickal routine, it’s self deception and is the exact mindset that will sabotage you from doing actual fucking magick. You are not “always doing magick”. Existing is not doing fucking magick and neither is basic fucking hygiene.

[thewoodbinewitch]

Existing isn’t doing magic, you’re right there. It does give you an opportunity to do magic, though. Magic is all about intention, so by investing in your routine, you’re doing magic. By putting intention into your “basic fucking hygeine” you can make it a ritual. How do I know? I’m a goddamn witch with a crippling mental illness, who has been practicing for years. Not enough? My entire family, going back generations, have been workers. I was RAISED talking to spirits and seeing auras. I know my shit. These are my rituals. These are my spells. They may differ from yours, but that doesn’t make them any less valid.

People with depression and anxiety don’t have a lot of energy. Nonny is scared that they don’t have the energy to keep practicing, and by telling them that the only way to remain a witch is to keep pushing themselves, possibly until breaking, is not helping them. It’s not understanding their fears and concerns. Giving them resources to incorporate little bits of magic into daily life is helping someone who doesn’t feel like they have any control gain a little bit of power and self worth.

It’s cool if you want to keep doing elaborate rituals. And Witchcraft is about pushing yourself a little further than you think you can go. But “powering through” just exhausts people who already have to power through their daily lives. Don’t shame people just because they choose to do simple magic.

Though sorry for saying “fuck you”, that was uncalled for.

[coyote-696]

No, magick is absolutely not all about intention. That’s bullshit that popped up during the New Age movement and has little to nothing to do with the historical practices of magick and witchcraft. If you know your shit, you’re doing a terrible job of demonstrating it because literally nothing you listed is magick or witchcraft. I’m well aware that low energy is a symptom of depression, chronic depression has been a constant part of my life for the last 25 years and you sure as shit don’t overcome it by wallowing in it.

Full offense but if you think eating a fistful of lunch meat or brushing your teeth is magick because you had a thought while you do it, you don’t know the first thing about magick. That’s not “simple magick”, it’s existing.

[thewoodbinewitch]

I respectfully disagree. Your branch of magic, Solomonic, is about combining symbols in patterns that invoke certain “energies”. It is a reconstructionist movement based on writings from medieval grimoires as well as Biblical-era texts. I admit, I am not as well versed in Solomonic magic as you are, so I will take you at your word that it is not intention based. That is your magic, and I would do nothing to infringe on your right to practice however you choose.

My branch of magic is Old Norse, one where intention meant everything. It is also reconstructionist, from both the medieval-era grimoires of Icelandic magicians with their galdrastafir, and also from the stories of the Edda, carved runestones, folkloric tales, and religious worship. A big part of Norse culture was about intention. It’s part of animistic belief dating back to pre-Christian times. It’s part of a belief system that came from a different part of the world, informed by travel and survival in Scandinavia. There are symbols but it does not rule out the use of intention as a key magical element in rituals.

Eating a fistful of meat is a way to make sure you’re eating without having to make a full sandwich. These are all depression hacks to maintain yourself. I’m sure as a fellow Tumblr user with depression you’ve seen the post about the therapist giving a person basic survival skills by eating meat and cheese when they don’t have the energy to make a sandwich. It’s not “wallowing in it”. It’s making do with what you have and moving forward one step at a time, moving through the sludge to reach safety using whatever tools you have in hand. Within your belief system, I understand it isn’t “magick”, but within mine, and many others, it is magic. It’s a fucking miracle.

I reblog so many different belief systems because this blog is about making magic information accessible. I want everyone to find their own path, and if the information I find can help in any way, I’m happy. It is the tip of the iceberg of my personal practice, which includes a major amount of historical information. As a historical reenactor, I haven’t published a lot of it because I’m still gathering sources and writing out my research. But if you want to throw fists with someone whose entire lifestyle is hanging out with people who thoroughly research historical facts, have consulted with museums as experts in their field, who has an entire army of historians ready to send her their research just so she can obliterate you, then hey, go ahead.

In the meantime, I hope you have a good day! With all sincerity. I respect you as a magic practitioner, I just disagree with your approach of offering hardness to those who are reaching out for help and understanding, and I couldn’t stand seeing so many people I love from afar believing in that hardness.

[beardedeldridge-deactivated2025]

Not to jump into the rest of this debate but just to be clear you have “an entire army of historians ready to send” you “their research just so” you “can obliterate” someone on tumblr and that this research proves that “Magic is all about intention” and that “brushing your teeth” or “crying in the bathroom” is magic?

I would personally love to see the research or maybe a list of these historians and experts in their fields. Maybe some of their published work perhaps that proves your point since its so readily available.

Honestly that is one heck of a claim.

@theagoraphobicwitch

[thewoodbinewitch]

Ya know, I was gonna just give you a list of primary sources while I wait for the rest of my worldwide historical reconstruction group to send me their research (much of which is not published digitally, so even if I did send you a list you wouldn’t be able to check it out without buying a bunch of books and reading it yourself), but then I thought, why? It’s not going to change your mind. You believe Solomonic magic is the only system, which I find closed-minded and definitely ethno-centric. We’re on different teams, and all we can do is butt heads. So I’m not going to feed the Trolls.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m still going to write up the paper. Diving into the animism and intentional aspects of Norse belief sounds like a lot of fun. I’m just not going to give you my joy.

Have a nice day!

[psilocyberotica-deactivated2020]

Wow this is seriously some hell of a middle school debate tactic.

“No seriously I totally have a whole cabal of super secret researchers around the world who have written tons of work proving you wrong”

“Okay show us”

“Actually, you wouldn’t agree with me anyways so I’m not going to show you. But totally believe me, it’s super legit and totally proves you wrong”

In other news, I definitely have a girlfriend she just lives in another country and doesn’t have any social media. Oh and I actually own the empire state building I have the documents to prove it but I have to keep them in an airtight safe so I can’t show them to you.

[scorpion-45]

Wow “brushing your teeth is magic guys” KI LL M E N OW

[trollkatt]

I don’t know what most of witchblr means when they use the word “intention” (or “intent”) - it is to me obvious you have an intention when you set out to work magic, the same way you have an intention when you set out to brush your teeth and wash the dishes - to get clean teeth and clean dishes. That’s the intention. It should be obvious that the word has nothing to do with magic itself, but everything to do with what the witch wants to see as a result of their magic. Most of witchblr don’t seem to understand this.

Everything that is found about Old Norse magic in the sources, is this. Only this. Everything else you think you know is just guesswork and make-believe. Or plain lies.

To a person who grew up in the places where the people who wrote and lived that life also grew up, it isn’t all that far back in time, and a lot of it is remembered. My grandmother’s grandmother was born in the 1700s - and then we’re almost halfway back.

I do know that there is a lot of power in combing and braiding one’s hair. It has little to do with your own bad thoughts and stress, though - there are other ways to deal with that. You brush stuff out of it and you braid - bind - stuff into it. Every everyday action used to be imbued with that sort of magic - usually performed for cleansing and/or apotropaic purposes - from getting out of bed in the morning to sweeping the floors at night. It isn’t witchcraft, though, and most people back in the day wouldn’t call it magic, either. It was how things were done, with the proper focus and the proper attention to ritual.

To use the same techniques to brush away people who give you a “bad taste in the mouth” is totally within this worldview. I’d scrub my tongue, too, since that’s where the taste-buds sit. But, you can’t brush away the words you’ve said - they are already out there, and maybe making trouble for the unlucky recipient, and then you have what is called “evil tongue” which works the same way as “evil foot” and “evil eye”, etc.

@theagoraphobicwitch - Let me give you a very serious but well meant advice: Don’t make up stories to defend your mistakes and the misinformation you have been fed by idiots. Please. It will only build on the vast amount of misinformed crap that is already out there. For instance, there is no “entire army of historians ready to send their research” to anybody, alas, because that research is for the most part not done yet. But there is information to be found here and there, in essays and theses, mostly in the local languages, and mostly in relation to other things. But most of what you can find is the stuff that is passed down in the homes, things told to folklorists, things answered first-hand on questionnaires from the folkloric institute, most of which is still in the vast folkloric archives around the region in question.

[sorcerer-king]

I know it got quite heated in here but I do appreciate the actual knowledge and to the anonymous person I don't suffer from depression or anxiety or anything like that but if you feel low and don't feel like doing anything to magical just drink some tea and correspond it to something you want or feel and meditate on those feelings or you can draw the tarot and meditate on the meaning of that maybe a way to be magical and introspective it may help calm you and bring you some peace of mind. Again I don't feel those things so I may be super wrong but I just want to help you have peace of mind it kind of seems like people went off track with your ask and I'm sorry about that

Curiosity and the Magical Path.

I once corresponded with an old witch who sadly passed away a few years ago. He was quite an abrasive character and at the time we didn’t see eye to eye on many issues. But he was a fountain of knowledge and had personally met many witches including Doreen Valiente, Alex and Maxine Sanders, as well as Gardner himself.

One of our conversations turned to the issue of judging whether someone is suitable for the magical path. How can another witch or practicing magician spot someone who has potential? I was wondering what exactly that core trait of the witch is. I supposed it was determination, will power. He disagreed and stated that those are important traits for all individuals, what truly marked a witch from a layperson was inherent curiosity.

He stated that the innate desire to discover and understand those things beyond current understanding and to peek into worlds which most people dare not to is what distinguishes the witch from the average person. I think it is fair to assume that a lot of people have experiences they cannot explain, most people will tell their friends, maybe do a google search, but do little else and eventually forget, bringing it up only in future conversation.

A witch doesn’t do that. A witch has the experience, then wishes to know what that experience was, why they had it, and whether there are more experiences to be had. A google search does not suffice, they seek to understand completely, to know how to replicate it, to get in touch with that otherness in order to analyse it. The google search turns into a book search, a people search, a hobby, then an obsession.

Once you truly walk down the magical path you can never really shut it off. Believe me, I’ve tried. You take a step and you need to eventually progress. This may sound cliche, but I have found it to be true. It is that curiosity, that burning desire to know that flings you back on to the path. That insatiable thirst for knowledge. 

If magic does not consume you in that way, if that urge for study is not there alongside your urge to control. It might be that you are not truly called, but merely wandering. There is no mistaking a true calling because once you answer you cannot escape it. 

It is all born out of that experience of something alternative to that which you know and that which you have been taught. It is born out of the desire to understand the world you have glimpsed into which is at odds with the world with which you grew up. Jason Miller has it spot on when he states people usually get into magic to hear the spirits or to shut them up. I have found that to be true, people have experience either willingly or forced upon them, they research and seek to understand that experience either to control it in order to suppress it or to exacerbate it.

You can ignore the call of that world all you like, you can abandon it and turn your back upon it. But if the spirits called once, they can simply pick up the phone again. You may have moved home, but you didn’t change your mobile number. They’ll gain your interest again and you will eventually stumble back on to the path often where you last left, the fire of curiosity reignited and seeking more fuel.

“my personal understanding of what I classify a witch to be doesn’t even require casting spells technically... Any person who lives consciously and acts as a creative force of their reality is a witch to me and that doesn’t have a particular skill set or even effort requirement...” A reply I just read on a post about how witchcraft requires effort to achieve results.

The obvious cringe of “uwu magic is whatever you want it to be uwu it’s what ever makes you feel comfy and special inside” and the usual witchblr “implying practices take effort is gatekeeping” nonsense aside, it strikes me that there’s a genuine cultural dissonance going on in a lot of these discussions. 

It’s not even necessarily just about witchcraft, and the fact that it’s usually deployed on here as just a catch-all term for any kind of “spiritual practice™”. Magic in general is treated on here by a bunch of people who have never experienced its real miracle-generating capacity as essentially a quirky aesthetic as opposed to the cultivation of a real skill that can bend reality. To reproduce one of my favourite quotes by Jason Miller, which we also have up in our FAQ:

“A Theban Magician did not painstakingly preserve and hide the Greek Magical Papyri with its many formulas because intention was all that mattered. The Grimoires were not passed among a network of underground clergy and literate laity because the precise instruction did not matter. Families of African slaves did not preserve traditions of Congolese Magic in the New World at risk to their life just because your intention is all that matters!” - Jason Miller, The Elements of Spellcrafting

I was born in a part of the world where, among the rural villages, local magicians are relied upon and perform a vital community function. There are no nearby hospitals, so when someone is ill, the local shaman needs to be able to actually heal in the way their title as “shaman” implies. When someone has been cursed because they offended a local faery or guardian spirit, the magician needs to intercede and make right, diagnose the issue, make the proper offerings, and lift the curse. When someone has stolen goods from someone else, they need to be able to figure out who the culprit is using their spirits and divinatory practices. Historically, when invading powers were coming to conquer the region, the magicians were relied upon for protection, negotiation/bargaining with spirits and gods, and creating glamours to buy time for the vulnerable to escape, if not even shield the village from invasion. There are many documented cases of historical battles between the shamans of different communities, often resulting in the weaker dying as their soul never returned to their body during the spirit-flight combat. 

What I’m getting at is that “witch”, “magician”, and other such labels were descriptive titles used to denote individuals who had certain skills and were able to reliably perform them. If they couldn’t reliably produce results, no one would go to them, pay them for their services, or acknowledge them as genuine. It wasn’t because the community was “mean”, but because there was and is a real need for these abilities and it had nothing to do with anyone’s feelings. I’m not a lawyer, I’ve never been to law school, I am not qualified to represent anyone legally and provide legal advice. If I start identifying as a lawyer, any clients I manage to get would quickly realize I have no idea what I’m talking about and would rightly dismiss me. If I’m purchasing the services of a blacksmith, jeweler, tailor, etc. - I’m paying for their time and accumulated training/skills. Folk magicians in traditional communities are regarded in much the same way.

I honestly don’t think there’s anything wrong in enjoying and consuming the modern, media-driven aesthetic of witchcraft, but at the end of the day operative magic is about results. Did your job spell work? Did you get the job? Did your petition to receive a particular boon actually succeed? Don’t be intimidated if a ritual doesn’t manifest - no one has a 100% manifestation rate. Even the most famous, skilled lawyers lose cases. Take it as an exciting opportunity to diagnose the issue, consult with your spirits, and hit the target again from another angle. Did you lack sufficient links to the target? Maybe you should seek out the assistance of a stronger spirit? Time your ritual with planetary days and hours? 

Think back to any other skill you had to slowly develop over time. Once upon a time I was a horrible swimmer, drawer, and writer, but now I’m quite competent at swimming, decent at drawing, and an excellent creative writer. It all depends on how much effort you put into nurturing each craft. Honestly, getting better at magic is exhilarating; surpassing your goals one by one, coming into contact with more powerful beings and making pacts with them, actually building a set of powers that can reshape your world through your own discipline, etc. Don’t ever let yourself be so proud that you can’t bring yourself to admit you could use improvement. Our predecessors in magic fought, killed, and died for the knowledge that is freely available to us now. What stories of your feats and miracles will the people who knew you pass on after your death?
