reblog if it's okay for random people to talk to you about witchcraft

it’s not always safe to be open about our craft and sometimes we all just need someone to gush to about that new crystal we got and that spell that worked surprisingly well

Sigil to banish bad luck! Will be used in the spell posted tonight but you can use it for your own purposes if you like! Reblog, don’t repost.

Update: here is the spell

Good Luck Charm

This spell will banish bad luck and create a charm, bracelet (not in this picture but there is one below the cut), or talisman to bring good luck. It is easy to do and the ingredients are simple, common household items. The spell is very long so you may preform it over the course of two days or skip the banishing part entirely if you would like to. Directions under the cut.

Banishing Bad Luck

You will need:

a paper

something to write with

(optional) a candle, preferably black

Steps:

Draw the sigil below or any symbol to represent bad luck. 

Burn it or if you do not have a candle, destroy it in any way possible. Rip it up, stomp on it, put it in the blender, whatever. Just destroy it. If you used the sigil, this will charge it. If you used the symbol this will destroy its influence.

Say either “I banish bad luck now and forever. I shed no tears upon the parting.” or the longer and more poetic, “today is not my day, everything has gone astray, to keep me sane, to keep the peace, bad luck coming my way shall cease, I banish pain, I banish sorrow, God and Goddess bless my tomorrow.” If your practice is more secular, you can modify the last line and say “let me have good luck tomorrow”.

If you are able to bury the remains far away from your property, do it. Say, “Bad luck will go deep in the ground, From now on good luck will follow me around.” 

If you cannot: go far away from your property and blow away the remains. Say, “Bad luck is far away, good luck will come today.”

Now for the actual charm

The charm is a bracelet or talisman to attract good luck. It will be created with herbs and homemade clay.

Ingredients:

2 parts flour

1 part salt 

1 part herbs and spices mixture

warm water until satisfied with consistency 

The herb mixture will be anything that you associate with luck, such as cinnamon, chamomile, allspice, myrrh, cloves, dandelion, nutmeg, sandalwood, star anise, thyme, poppy, pomegranate, turmeric, and mistletoe. Grind as many of these together as possible. 

As you are grinding the herbs say,“herbs of earth fill my life with light, bring me good luck in day and night, this spell is seeped in magic and mystery, make my bad luck a thing of history.”

Mix together all the dry ingredients then add the warm water until you are satisfied with the texture of the clay. Should you accidentally put too much water, add more flour. 

Shape the clay into anything that represents good luck to you. In the picture, I made four leaf clovers, turtles, the word luck, and ladybugs. The turtles have 7 scales each and the ladybugs have 7 spots each. You can even make them into beads and wear them as a bracelet. Here are some more symbols for good luck. When you are done shaping them, say,”This charm is a magnet for all things good, the beholder will attract luck as they should, may positive energy always surround it, may it bring luck for all around it.”

Leave them to dry in the sun for a few days or bake them at 200°F for several hours. If you want to, paint them when they have dried. Green and gold are lucky colours.

If you do end up making these charms I would love to see them!! You can submit your photos to me if you want to, it would make my day!

About Me - Part 3

Do you know any witches in real life?  Yes, @thexmysticxbitch

Any areas you wish you were better at?  I wish I could dedicate more time to growing an herbal garden.

Any areas you have always been interested in but never got around to trying?  I’m interested in getting into more elemental magic.

Any areas you have been interested in and know a lot about but are too scared to try?  I’d like to work with curses, but I’m a little nervous about possible backlashes, or me getting curse crazy.

Do you have any spirit companions?  I have a spirit that lives in my house that I sometimes talk with.

What is your favourite thing about your craft?  The freedom I gain to express myself.

What is some advice that you would give baby witches? Or your past self when you were just starting out?  Don’t be afraid to practice whatever grabs your interest or calls your attention, even if it doesn’t turn out to be for you, it’s still a valuable experience to carry you forward in your witch’s journey.

How important are tools in your practice?  They’re most important for me in practicing divination.

Do you prefer to buy or make your tools?  I prefer to make all my tools if I can.
