low effort witchy things ᶻ 𝗓 𐰁 .ᐟ

first thing in the morning—take three slow deep breaths (air/sky) more grounding than immediately checking a phone

notice your feet on the ground taking root when you stand up for the first time of the day, take a little stretch (earth/land)

wash or splash your face to get alll the way awake. then chug a big glass. (water/sea)

appreciate any trees, plants, dirt, or clouds you see

place both hands on your heart to feel your own heat and warmth. feel your heart beating. “i am alive” (fire)

wear or carry a rock, hagstone, crystal, talisman, or amulet

in times of stress or dissociation, rub your thumb in small circles on the back of your other hand to ground and soothe. (clockwise for attracting an intention, counterclockwise for banishing)

color magic with clothing

add cinnamon, lavender, or peppermint to coffee according to intention if you don’t want to drink tea

stirring tea/coffee according to intention

sometimes i pick a little affirmation for the day— “may i forgive myself” “the universe is within me/the wild is within me”

visualization—inhale a bright light and let it fill your lungs, exhaling clouds of negativity

or create a shield with breathing. with each breath, imagine a bubble forming around your body, then your aura, growing with strength.

cleansing shower at the end of the day (intending it to cleanse my aura makes me more motivated to take one, idkw)

if taking a bath, add a dash of moon water

sniff lavender essential oil before bed

look at the moon, talk to it. remind yourself that it’s the same one your ancestors knew.

Cottage Witch, Common Sense

Requested by @jasper-pagan-witch

DO NOT MIX CLEANING SUPPLIES! These are chemicals we are talking about, you don't want to accidentally make a toxic fume that would be harmful to you or your pets.

Put salt in your water before boiling noodles, and a cap of olive oil. The salt helps it cook better, the oil keeps the noodles from sticking.

In a pinch white vinegar works as a disinfectant.

Use some baking soda to keep your fridge smelling fresh.

Wash your white clothes in hot water and your colored clothes in cold water. AND DON'T USE BLEACH IN YOUR COLORS.

If you are washing something that is supposed to be absorbant (towels, cloths, washable puppy pads or fleece guinea pig bedding, etc) do not use fabric softener, it will make it less observant.

DO NOT POUR OIL DOWN THE SINK! It will clog the whole freaking system!

The box is a suggestion, if your noodles need more water to finish cooking, then add some more.

Peroxide removes blood stains from clothing.

White wine removes red wine stains

I have a ton of others but these are the ones from the top of my head!

[wisdominarmor]

If you don't have peroxide and you need to clean up blood on fabric: soak up the stain in COLD water for 30 mins (or you forget about it, like me) and then scrub with some laundry bar soap like Savon de Marseille or Savon du Pays (that's what I have, sorry for the French). With this technique, most of the bloodstain will be gone (like 80-95% of it, I swear), then throw in your laundry cycle on COLD.

Why COLD water? Because hot water will dry your stain into the fabric and it will be hella difficult after that to get rid of the stain.

🌙 Cheap Witchcraft Tools + Supplies 🌿

🫙 Save all your jars! Spaghetti sauce jars, baby food jars, pickle jars, jam jars — you get the point. You can use these for storage, spells, rituals and offering. Plus they’re easy and cheap to decorate and customize. A little glue, some scrapbook stuff, rocks, moss etc. The possibilities are endless.

🌼 Go outside and collect nature! Sticks, flowers, dirt, rocks etc. Put your collected pieces into your saved jars lol. It’s easy, free and you never know when dirt specifically from a certain area might come in handy for a ritual or spell. Also you can use your foraged finds to decorate your altar(s) and your jars. 

🍋 Save your fruit peels, pits and seeds! They’re super useful for spells and rituals + they’re “free” considering you’re eating the fruit it came from anyways. To dry out your peels you can leave them out in the sun or you can place them in your oven on it’s lowest setting (anything under 170°F) for about 4 hours or until dry.

🔮 Make your own oracle deck! It’s really fun and you get to put your own energy into it, making it that much more special. All you need is a deck of cards from the Dollar Tree. I’d opt for the larger flash cards, they tend to be a bit thicker and larger. Some glue and old magazines, scrapbooking supplies or even just photos printed off the internet. Collage those cards up! For extra security you can seal each card with mod podge.

How to Organize Your Book of Shadows/Grimoire

ー

A great recommendation on how to do so! Remember, though, this is only an opinion: always follow your intuition and include what feels right! There may be topics on this list that are not applicable to your practice and/or don't interest you, and that is okay. Each book of shadows/grimoire is unique item that should be personal to you and you alone.

🌘rainy day cleansing ritual🌒

hello loves! this is my go-to ritual for when i need a serious session of cleansing, grounding, and everything in between.

it’s best performed on a rainy day, but as always my spells and rituals are completely adaptable. if you don’t have something, find a substitute; if you don’t want to do something, don’t do it. simple! i hope this ritual helps you get back to your own kick-ass self.

the physical space ritual (optional, but awesome)

clean your space. yes, i mean physically. having a clean, comfortable space to relax in is essential for your mental health. it’s also a great way to get any negative energy out of your body. pour all that emotion into your cleaning, and create a super-awesome space that makes you feel all warm and happy inside. 

add something new. whether this is a storebought decoration you’ve been waiting to put up, or an idea for a switch around of furniture, change something up in your space. there’s nothing like the refreshing feeling of your space looking brand new, and you’ll have something to be proud of as well!

cleanse your tools, your bed, your walls… do your usual space-cleansing ritual that involves deep cleansing of everything you use on a day-to-day basis. getting rid of any built up energy will make the space you spend your time in feel so much fresher, i promise you.

find a comfy space, light your favourite cleansing incense (mine is lemon) sit back and relax, and move on to the self-cleansing ritual!

the self cleansing ritual

this is best performed on a rainy day, but if you can’t do that, try to visualise rain all around you. rainy mood music can help with this!

sit in a calm, comfy space where you can relax, and start to clear your mind. if you have a favourite go to method for meditation, use that. if not, i like to imagine my mind literally clearing, physically pushing all thoughts out of it.

concentrate on the sound of the rain. let the noise overtake your thoughts, and visualise the rain physically washing away any negative energy that’s built up over time.

get cathartic. cleansing can be as gentle or as brutal as you want. got any pent up emotions? let them out now, if you’re comfortable with it. just feel whatever you need to feel, and let it go. imagine the negativity just falling away from you with the rain.

as negative energy is leaving your body, visualise your personal energy drawing positivity from the earth beneath you. feel that strength wash over your body, and envisage your whole body being filled with happiness and gentle joy.

once you’re done meditating and cleansing, take a moment to just sit and exist. take as much time as you need to chill out and wake up.

anything after this should be done as self care, for you and you alone. got a favourite tv show? watch an episode. finally got enough money for something you’ve been eyeing for a while? buy that, and treat yourself. honestly, after all this you deserve a bit of self love!

so loves, that’s what i do when i need a serious cleanse and self-love session. i hope it helps you if you use it!

if you want to support me, please consider buying a tarot reading here!
