I think people forget how much scrap material is around us everyday they can use in magic. Especially fabric.
The amount of charm bags and pouches i make from old ripped up shirts or scrab fabric is nuts. You don't need to be using big chunky martials or jars for everything when thrift stores have soooo much fabric waiting to be adopted and put to use.
Get crafty witches
Mark your calendars & roll up your sleeves, witches! It's time for a FREE Witches' Brew! ✨🌱 Saturday May 30th 9am PST / Noon EST / 5pm BST / 2am AEST (May 31) ✨🌱 Get your FREE tickets & register here! https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1989548712757?aff=oddtdtcreator ✨🌱 Our seasonal Witches' Brews are FREE online witchy mini conferences that include potion making (our magical beverage segment), guest presentations, sometimes a hands-on project, and time to socialize & connect with other attendees, Brew guests & hosts, & the CTWC community. Our Brews are a wonderful way to dip your toe into the CritWitch community, and a great preview of what you can expect from our annual 3-day virtual event CRITWITCHCON. This month's Witches' Brew is a dive into all things animism: what it means, how it can inform our practices, and how we probably have it woven into our lives already! We're thinking about genus locii, stewardship of our immediate environments, the ways we connected with nature as children, and how to integrate it into our witchcraft without falling into extractive practices ✨🌱 Witches' Brews are recorded (minus community chat) and available to our paid Patreon subscribers later in the season, so you can revisit our presentations. Learn more about us at www.criticalthinkingwitches.com Welcome to the Critical Thinking Witch Collective! Formed in 2021, we came together to make a space for critical thinking witches; witches who research, who apply scientific reasoning, who learn from history, and who question assumptions and biases. Our name has changed, but our mission remains the same: to bring together a community of critical thinking witches and seekers who respect reason, logic, and science as we also acknowledge the genuine beauty and meaning in the mysterious. And we plan to have fun while we do it. Connect, learn, and get involved with this community of like-minded witches and seekers from around the world. Join the Collective! www.criticalthinkingwitches.com
Join us for an exploration of animism in secular witchcraft, with potions, presentations, & hands on activities!
Am I interested in this Brew, absolutely! However...Celeste, of my favorite local bar, is turning 50 the evening before, so I'm unlikely to be ABLE to arise and be semi-coherent by 9am the next day.
Listen. Ian B is playing that birthday party and I'm going too. I not only have to be away at 9, but also presentable as I got roped into speaking and leading a workshop on making a genius loci sigil using maps.

How to Protect Your Home with Simple Witchcraft (Beginner-Friendly)
Your home is more than a place — it’s a sanctuary. A container for your energy, your rest, your dreams, and your magic. Witchcraft doesn’t have to be complex to be powerful, and home protection is one of the gentlest ways to weave intention into your everyday life.
Here are a few simple, beginner-friendly ways to shield and bless your space:
🌿 1. The Doorway Cleanse
Your doorway is the threshold between the outer world and your inner sanctuary. Try this:
Sweep the area with intention (even an energetic sweep works).
Whisper: “Only peace enters here.”
Place a small crystal like black obsidian or smoky quartz near the door.
A single word of intention can change the energy of the space.
🕯️ 2. Candle Protection Ritual
Light a candle (white or black works beautifully) and walk through your home slowly. Let the flame guide you. As you move, say:
“With light and warmth, I bless this home.”
Even one minute with a candle can reset the energy of a room.
🌙 3. Salt & Moon Water Blessing
This is as old as witchcraft itself.
Sprinkle salt gently across thresholds or windowsills.
Use moon water (from a recent full or new moon) to wipe down doors, mirrors, or altar spaces.
It’s simple, but incredibly grounding.
🍃 4. Herb Smoke or Simmer Pot Cleansing
You don’t need fancy tools — herbs from your kitchen work perfectly. Try smoke cleansing with:
rosemary
bay leaf
lavender
Or simmer a pot with lemon, cinnamon, and clove to shift stagnant energy.
🧿 5. Protect With Symbols
Draw a protective symbol — a rune, sigil, or even a small pentacle — above your front door with:
oil
moon water
or even your finger
Invisible doesn’t mean ineffective.
💬 Final Thought
Witchcraft isn’t about how elaborate your tools are — it’s about your intention. Protection magic is quiet, comforting, and deeply personal. Your home deserves to feel safe, warm, and yours.
Bedridden witch: Divination edition
Ideas for practicing divination while bedridden: Varying in energy + mobility required - please don’t push yourself, hopefully there’s options for everyone! Quick note: I’ve only included forms of divination I personally do.
Tarot:
Tarot apps are a great way to pull a card with a tap or two (Labyrinthos and Galaxy tarot have been recommended).
Spread the deck on a flat surface, and move your hand over to pick (let your hands sense the energy), or pick based on intuition.
Do a two-card (or more!) spread - you don’t have to lay it out if you can’t sit up, you can hold them in your hand or place on your lap.
Sleep with the deck under your pillow.
Pick one card that represents what you want from the next day and slip it under your pillow or mattress for the night, or place on your altar.
Memorize the meanings of the cards.
Make or buy a mini deck for easier use.
Do the easy “find this card and whatever is above or below it =X” spreads.
More limited mobility suggestions here
Scrying:
Use a black mirror or picture frame with black cloth/paper behind it.
Get a mini scrying bowl and fill with water, cradle it in your hands.
Pendulum:
Wear it around your neck.
Shorten the string so you don’t have to sit up.
Prop your hand on a pillow if you need the strength/steadiness.
Use off of the side of your bed if it’s too long (this can be a bit awkward)
Keep it under your pillow.
Use a mini pendulum or a necklace as a pendulum.
Make a simple board or don’t use one at all, just condition your pendulum with basic movements.
*You CAN use a pendulum even with shaky hands, it just takes a bit of bonding and conditioning.*
More limited mobility suggestions here
Tasseomancy:
Get a mug with two handles.
Keep in a sealable container until you’re ready.
Put a towel over yourself in case you spill.
Use a Tupperware container. No shame.
Runes:
(With a huge thanks to @adragonspath for compiling a list of suggestions!)
Sleep with your runes next to you.
Memorize their meaning.
Draw one rune and meditate on their meaning and how you can manifest them in your life.
Charge them with sun/moon light by your window.
Study their origin and reading methods.
Crystal and wooden runes: connect with the element Earth and the intent corresponding to the crystal/type of wood.
Other materials: meditate on the origin and development of that material. Connect with the corresponding element and intent.

Honeyed Lips
This glamour is designed to help you appear more persuasive. This can be helpful when applying for a job, public speaking, or convincing friends/family/lovers. BE AWARE - this type of glamour is inherently manipulative and should only be used to help you convince others and make people more inclined to listen to what you have to say.
MATERIALS
10g Shea Butter
10g Beeswax
10g Coconut Oil
1 Tsp Honey (Local if you can)
5 drops Sweet Orange Oil
On a double boiler (medium/low heat) melt the Shea Butter, Beeswax and Coconut Oil. Turn of heat and stir clockwise as you add the Honey and Sweet Orange Oil. Sing as you stir:
Smooth as butter,
Sweet as honey,
Enchant my words,
To be bright and sunny.
With honeyed lips,
And charming smiles,
Those who hear me
Are not hostile.
To my words,
They shall listen,
And be convinced
By my proposition.
Let it cool in a container of your choice (I like a small metal tin). Once cool, apply to your lips and repeat the above chant. The heat of your lips will activate it.

while I absolutely do think that Frigg and Freja are separate goddesses (although I also think it's a completely valid take to believe they are the same as well), I don't think we should boil the differences down to Frigg "domestic mother" and Freja "shieldmaiden whore"

Nonverbal Witchcraft
For my witches who cannot speak, struggle to speak, or choose to remain quiet.
This post is a compilation of ideas and personal methods from fellow nonverbal witches. Not everything may fit for you, but hopefully it will give you a starting point!
Spells:
Write the words and focus your energy on bringing them into being. You could burn the piece of paper to finish off the spell. One contributor also mentions burying the paper.
Our thoughts are powerful. Focus, and say the words in your mind.
You can also mouth the words without speaking them, if that helps you.
Whispering is also great if that works for you!
Find power in silence, use it as its own tool.
Use instruments to create certain rhythms for different spells, instead of chanting.
If sound is helpful, play music that you feel relates/connects you to the spell.
Cast circles and finalize spells by snapping.
Sigils are concentrated intention–use that to your advantage. They can absolutely be a base for spellwork.
Use a power source; the elements (candles, soil, the air around you, a bowl of water, etc.), crystals, burning herbs, etc.
To feel energy without using words to confirm: use tools that have stronger energy that you can physically feel.
Make spell candles, jars or sachets.
Use sign language! I’m of the opinion that everyone should at least learn the basics, and there are plenty of free resources out there!
Specific spells:
Casting a circle: “You can cast a circle by walking in a circle and visualizing your footsteps imprinting on the earth below, creating a barrier of light (color chosen to correspond to intention at the time), walk the circle 3 times and see the barrier in your mind forming a perfect sphere around your work space, becoming brighter and stronger each step you take.”*
To banish: write the things you wish to banish on a piece of paper, light them on fire with a black candle and place in a burn bowl.
To release and invite: use two pieces of paper. On one, write down everything you’d like to release from your life. On the other, write down everything you’d like to invite into your life. Burn the release paper and dispose of the ashes, keep the invite paper. (Optional: I like to do this on the new moon, and have a black candle above the release paper and a white candle above the invite paper).
Protective charm: (click here)
To raise you out of a dark place: (click here)
Spell of destruction: (click here)
Energy work:
Use a cajon, bells, singing bowl, steel tongue drum/moondrum, or other instruments to raise energy!
“I have a specific snapping rhythm that is ‘magic time’. When I snap the rhythm once or three times it’s go time and I fall into the zone.”*
“For energy work and to raise energy I dance and as my heartbeat gets louder in my ears I mentally chant with it, focusing on a short phrase, intention, or incantation with the energy I physically raised and the meditative repetition of my mind.”*
Use a power source; the elements, crystals, burning herbs, etc.
Most energy work involves movement, rather than words (click here for energy work with restricted movement).
Other ideas:
Worship: write letters, devote your actions, decorate an altar. Prayers don’t need to be spoken! Or write your prayers and place them on an altar, burn them, or keep them. (Bedridden worship)
Divination doesn’t require spoken word, especially once you have a bond with your tools. You can always use writing, sigils, or your thoughts to channel your intent/question. (Bedridden divination)
Charge crystals with your intent and wear them/carry them in a pouch.
Kitchen witchcraft, garden magic, tea magic, etc. etc.
Utilize the correspondences of the items in your life.

I just want to put out there that Winter is coming in full force this weekend, and there are a bunch of people who shouldn't be in Minnesota who are rn. They are not prepared for the cold. They have no right to call themselves ice.
But they did.
So if you are in a safe spot and good at using weather, this is a great time cast a de-icing spell.
Idea off the top of my mind:
An icicle would be best, but any variety of frozen water would work Name of the organization as a taglock, carve it into your vessel Put it in a bowl Smother it with some salt (salt mixed with red pepper flakes! black salt for some banishing sulfur!) Curse liberally (with your tongue! out loud!) at it as it dissolves
“I feel Westerners make their biggest mistakes in this area. We tend to think what we see in the grimoires is the be-all and end-all of the magick. Follow the instructions, summon the spirit, give it instructions and send it on its way. I have come to call this the summon-command-banish formula. However, it is not enough to merely call a spirit or angel or saint and tell it what you need. It is necessary to ask the spirit what we need to do in order to obtain what we need. It is then we will be given instructions, offerings to make (and how to make them), rituals to perform and even mundane actions we should take.”

I am going to line a jar with a bunch of plastic eyes and put someone in there. I feel like I got this concept from someone on Tumblr but I cannot remember who it was.
I'm looking forward to the Person In The Jar not having anywhere to conceal his treachery any longer.
He's gonna be singing that Rockwell song.
Maybe I should add a light, also, so everything he does is 100% visible, all the time.
The jar is not done so I am taking suggestions.
I know EXACTLY which spell you're talking about - @thesigilwitch do you remember this one?

There is another one where it was just googly eyes and just writing their name on a piece of paper - super simple.

Here's another one (Sharing a reblog as OP is deactivated but it's got a visual👀).
Cannot stress tf out of the importance of discernment. Be careful of spaces or people that tend to feed and enable delusions rather than teaching how to be mindful and how to discern the mundane from the magical.

Nazis will never be welcome in paganism. They have no space in our communities, we will have a zero tolerance policy when it comes to nazis. You have no right to the cultures, gods and religions you hijack to spread your disgusting ideologies. You will find no refuge or comraderie amongst pagans.
