Sweetness Domination Spell

This is a spell to help someone become nicer, as well as banish their bad habits and vices, by taking control and making them sweeter and calm!!

You will need:

Cleansed Glass Jar [pink lid optional]

Pink candle (love, sweetness)

Hair [or blood, etc] from the person you're doing the spell to [optional]

Piece of paper

Pen [I used a sharp bone as a pen that I found in the desert lol] and/or Dove's Blood ink (Dove's Blood for love, domination)

Lavender oil (love, self-love, sweetness, calmness)

Rose petals (love, self-love)

Salt (banishing {for bad habits})

Cayenne pepper (banishing {for bad habits})

Honey (love, sweetness, self-love, calmness)

Sugar (love, sweetness, self-love)

Your own hair [or spit, or blood, etc] (domination, taking control of a situation)

What to do:

Light your candle, grab your jar. (I cleansed the jar with smoke before I used it)

Place the hair of the person in the jar, chant: "Love, sweetness, self-love, calmness". Feel free to also say what you want banished from this person (i.e. anger, manipulative tendencies, drinking, smoking, etc).

Write down on the paper with the ink the person's date of birth, zodiac sign, and full name, if you know it. When done, fold up the paper and place it in the jar.

Add lavender oil. Chant again.

Add your rose petals. Chant.

Now add your salt and cayenne. Chant what you want banished from this person's life. Think about what steps this person would have to take to better themselves in order for these bad habits and addictions to be banished (ex. Imagine them realizing their own problems, and finally making an appointment with a therapist or a psychiatrist and learning how to better themselves).

Now add your honey. Chant: "Love, sweetness, self-love, calmness".

Add your sugar, chant again.

Now, here comes the dominating part. Take one of your own hairs and place it on top of the sugar. Pour the candle wax from your pink candle all over it, until the whole hair and surface is covered. Chant again, and add what you need banished from this person. This is so you have control of the situation, that you have control and domination over this person, to make them nicer and banish their problems and habits.

Close the jar, and keep it in a place that person won't see it, but you will. Good luck 👍 💓

I'm not a gray witch because I'm a person devoid of all morality and I want to cast curses as I please. Gray witchcraft delves so much deeper than surface level morality. I'm a gray witch because there is a light and dark side of the great all. We can easily observe it in our surroundings and within ourselves. There is life and death, order and chaos, love and hate, happiness and sadness. Between them is divine balance, which is where I aspire to sit as a witch. Gray witchcraft is very much so the practice of the observer, we look to nature and the universe to learn the patterns and essence of reality. We seek to know the great all for what it truly is, through an unbiased lense. I am a a student and worshiper of the divine system, the balance and complex interconnectedness between everything that exists.

So many people look at gray witchcraft as nothing more than the practice of using both helpful and baneful magick. However our magick is both yet neither. In gray witchcraft magick is gray; many of us see magick as nuetral. When a spell is cast the great all is affected in such a way that it starts creating the chain of events that need to happen for our desires to manifest in being. Due to everything within the great all being interconnected, the magick of a spell can spread to affect many different people and situations. Even the best intended spell with the most positive energy can have negative effects. It all goes back to the old saying "What is normal to the spider is chaos to the fly." For example, imagine a scenario where someone is stalking me and has been threatening my life. If I cast a banishing spell to make this person move away in order to protect myself wouldn't that be a positive use of magick? Well yes for me. However that situation isn't all light. I'd be taking someone's free will, which is considered to be black magick, and forcing this person away from me. The universe will find ways to make this happen, ways that are not always positive. The spell runs a possibility of hitting this person and the people around them with misfortune in order to uproot them. Very rarely do people leave places or situations that are comfortable to them. Perspective is an important factor in deciding what is light or dark, and every spell affects many perspectives. That is why I would argue that magick is gray rather then divided into factions of light and dark. There is a saying passed around by people who practice gray witchcraft that goes "You can't heal unless you know how to harm". I take that saying in a couple different ways. Firstly, to understand magick as a whole you have to look at both sides. Much like you can't have happiness without saddness, nor life without death, you can't understand magick as a whole without knowing it's powers of both creation and destruction. Magick as a whole isn't black and also white, it is actually many different shades of gray. Just like all things in nature. Secondly, helpful magick can be baneful and vice versa. There are a plethora of situations where positive or negative connotations in magick are left to the perception of the individuals involved. Magick is often both a positive and negtive force at the same time thus in a sense making it nuetral as a whole.

The world is pure chaos and order singing in a harmonious duet and every individual thing in reality are the notes of their song. We are all connected by many strings. The universe reflects it, nature reflects it, and we reflect it. Plants feed animals, which feed other animals all the way up the food chain, but when animals die they become the earth which then feeds the plants. In so many ways you can not have life without death, beginnings without endings, nor can you take without giving. Big storms can destroy all in its path however in their wake they bring new life blown from all over the world to take root and grow. When we study the mechanics of the universe the gray witch can then apply that wisdom to practical magick. For example storm water can be used in a spell to unblock obstacles if the caster wants a powerful spell that will destroy the to make way for the new. Magick can be taught by the great all for those willing to sit quietly and observe nature's system. That is why I feel so many witches have a strong connection to nature. Nature and the universe around us lead by example.

Being a gray witch is being in the middle of this big beautiful phenomenon and honoring every aspect of it for what it is worth. It is being in tune with yourself and the universe. A gray witch is a student of the divine, the observer. We can heal as well as we can cause harm. Gray witchcraft is balance in the great all.

What Does Being A Chaos Witch Mean?

Chaos cha·os /ˈkāˌäs/    noun:

Complete disorder and confusion. Behavior so unpredictable as to appear random, owing to great sensitivity to small changes in conditions. The formless matter supposed to have existed before the creation of the universe. IN GREEK MYTHOLOGY The first created being, from which came the primeval deities Gaia, Tartarus, Erebus, and Nyx.

Chaos is very simple to explain as it is without explaination. It is neither 'white witchcraft' nor 'black witchcraft'. Neither light nor dark. Both. Neither. It just is. It's chaos which is power in it's truest form. To call it 'grey witchcraft' is a disservice because it implies that it is darker than 'white witchcraft' yet more tame than 'black witchcraft' when truly it's wilder than both of them. It is real, raw, and powerful. To be a chaos witch is to embrace the good, the bad, the ugly, and the beauty all in one. It's formless and more ancient than we know. It is more pure than purity, more tarnished than tarnish. It simply is. Natural. Untamed. Chaos.

A Brief Introduction of Terms

To begin, it’s important to establish that my definition of the word “witchcraft”, specifically, is a catch-all term for any and all physical, ritualistic action carried out in the course of worship, or practice of their chosen spirituality or religion. Literally, I consider it the craft of witches.

Witchcraft is a practice, not a religion.

Secondly, the word “witch” is really a catch-all term for those who practice such craft.  There are infinite varieties of witches all over the world, espousing uncounted spiritual beliefs.  Witchcraft is not confined only to the realms of paganism or heathenism: there are, for example, Christian witches who practice their craft in service of their faith and beliefs as much as any Hoodoo practitioner or Wiccan might.  Many people practice different levels of witchcraft in their daily lives without even realizing that they’re doing it.  I personally would consider much of the practice of Catholics to be witchcraft, in its own fashion.

There are those that would attempt to define my spiritual practice with many popular labels: some would refer to it as “secular”, because I do not actively worship any deities.  Some might define it as “green” because it is strongly Nature-based and I have much interest in herbalist practice; some may say I practice “kitchen craft” because my practice deeply involves hearth and home (as one might expect of someone born under Cancer!). Still others may refer to my practice as “eclectic” because I borrow from many pagan traditions.  I feel that none of these labels are exactly right, but none are exactly wrong, either.  For this reason, I refer to my personal spiritual practice as a “gray” way: one which has many hues.

Before continuing, it should also be noted that the term “gray witchcraft” is also popularly used to describe the concept of one’s craft as being neither “light” nor “dark”, but rather being suited to the witch themselves and the particular situation at hand.  In this case, I would also describe my craft as gray as well.

Merry Lughnassadh, Witches! 🥰

I made a blackberry pie (which I pretty much do every Lughnassadh 😋) and I harvested a cucumber from my grandma's garden that I helped plant 😃

The cucumber was... bitter 😅😂 but the very center was tasty and not bitter, so at least not all of it was gross 😂

Do you guys celebrate the holidays without being Wiccan like I do? I just like celebrating them for some reason 😊 let me know what you do, if anything, on the holidays! ☺
