Ritualized prayer with the use of beads pre-dates Christianity. While it is most commonly associated with the catholic rosary, many cultures and religions use meditative beads. Buddhist prayer beads (mala) are used to count the number of times a mantra is recited, Muslim prayer beads (tasbih) are used to repeat praises to god. Similarly, worry beads (komboloi) are carried and used to pass time among Greek and Cypriot culture. While these are not used in a religious context, the beads are handled in a very specific manner, over and over again, leading to their ritualistic use. Wiccans and other pagans also use prayer beads, often associated with the seasons and goddess worship. • All prayer beads have a specific number of beads, are constructed in a specific way, and each are handled in a specific manner. Ultimately the goal of these beads is to aid in meditation, focus and concentration. It is a common human trait to want to compartmentalize and organize one’s thoughts and prayers in this manner. While it works for some, it may not work for others; that is the beauty of individuality. • I prefer using beads myself. I am a visual person; I like making lists and organizing my thoughts accordingly. To have something tangible that I can envision each prayer and spell with helps me tremendously. • I have created these particular beads to aid in my intuitive practice. Your intuition is innate and always present, it’s just a matter of whether or not we excersice it. Our intuition is like a muscle, the more we use it, the stronger it becomes. • Intuition prayer beads  Amethyst • Hematite • Sodalite • Bloodstone • Labradorite Now available on my etsy shop 👁 • • • #thebalkanwitch #thebalkanwitchshop #prayerbeads #paganprayerbeads #witchesladder #knotmagick #knotmagic #magick #etsy #evileye #magickmarch #mala #malabeads #prayerrope #rosary #begleri #tespih #tasbih #worrybeads #komboloi #intuition #witchblr #neopagan #witchesofinstagram #pagansofinstagram #amethyst #hematite #sodalite #bloodstone #labradorite https://www.instagram.com/p/BuzXS-uHcre/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1dzpll1htg9mx

Full moon knot spell

You will need:

-Silver/white cord or string 

-Purple cord or string 

-Blue cord or string

(Silver means Astral energy and intuition. Purple for independence. Blue for wisdom and communication.)

Knot the purple and blue strings till you meet where ever you feel is the best place to stop. (I make anklets so it charges when I walk or in this case dance under the moon) Say the words “The moon will give me strength” while knotting each knot. When you find a place to stop say in a finalized tone “The full moon will connect with me and give me prosperity” while wrapping the white string over the knots (say it each wrap around as well). Once fully done wrapping the last string around end the spell by saying “And that is final”.

Yes, I did this for myself and I know that some witches have the full moon later than me. This has to be done during a full moon (A dance is not required but if you make an anklet walk around to charge it). I’m using the full moon to cleanse this particular anklet but the last one I did (for energy) I bathed it in a salt bath.

 IF IT BREAKS OR FALLS OFF PLEASE BURN IT TO ASH OR RID ANY ENERGY FROM IT DO NOT KEEP INTENT THAT HAS BEEN BROKEN AROUND FOR TOO LONG IT CAN TURN INTO A NEGATIVE ENERGY. I have not broken one as of yet but I do believe that a broken knot spell can result in dangerous repercussions.

50 Witchy Asks

 Questions by: @ the-lunar-vixen

1. What type of witch are you?

I work with all different types of magick but I classify myself as a nature witch. I do dabble into tarot card readings and elemental witchery. I’m also a broom closeted witch so my family has no idea I do any of this, my brothers I’m sure would be supportive but I’m sure my Dad would think I’m stupid and my Mom is extremely Christian so I can’t tell her.

2. What deities do you like to work with, if any?

I don’t work with any deities. (my name is babygreekwitch on here because I am half greek but I really do love the mythology of all of it, so if you have any questions about any greek deities, I know a lot.)

3. Have you ever created your own spell?

I’ve made my own sigils and I made a knot magic spell for my knitting and created a spell to enchant the yarn I was using aswell.

4. What’s your favorite time of year?

Anytime except when there is a blizzard we get those a lot where I live.

5. Do you have a witch you look up to?

I kind of do but I’d rather not try and tag them cause I’m scared and I have no idea why. I have a load of anxiety (one of the reasons I started witch craft) so just know that I do have them I just don’t want to seem pushy. 

6.  What makes you feel powerful?

I love song spells and probably the song Believer by Imagine Dragons it brings me a lot of confidence and also when I do some full moon spells and I dress up in a dress I love and do my make up and I meditate for about 30 minutes and yeah I’m not gonna go into that, I might make a post later about it.

7. Do you have a favorite myth?

Oh yes of course, if we are talking about greek mythology, it would have to be Eros and Psyche or Theseus and Pirithous (Only because I love Hades cause he has such a bad reputation ugh I mean come on he basically named his dog SPOT.)

8. Which famous/fantasy witch do you relate to the most?

Probably Rowena from supernatural she acts a lot like me when I wasn’t so over run with anxiety and had a hard time going places. But yeah she is amazing and confident I wish I was still like that cause I’m really not anymore.

9. Are you a wiccan?

Nope, I don’t know I guess I kinda have trouble trying to have connections with deities cause of the bad experience I had with trying to worship God my Grandma and Mom kinda pushed it upon me and it ruined me trying to worship anything at all.

10. What’s the most unique item you’ve ever used in a spell?

I haven’t done many spells, so far, I guess the coolest or most unique would be some really cool aloe infused salt from Guadalupe. I used it to purify a knot magick bracelet for energy. 

11. Do you own any witchy books?

Nope, none at all I’m a broom closeted witch so I really can’t have any but I own a few online books that I got for free.

12. Which misconception about witches annoys you the most?

Probably all witches worship Satan which is stupid cause not all do I know there definitely are some but not all do.

13. Have you ever created your own sigil?

Yep I made one for increasing lung capacity I used to be in band and track and since I went to a Christian school (and still am) I would have wrote it on the soles of my shoes. Maybe if I start again I’ll use it.

17. What’s your spirit animal?

I believe mine used to be a crow but now it’s a turtle because of how my anxiety and depression changed the way I act and take on the world.

Don’t have one but I used to love watching charmed I was seriously addicted to it.

21.What’s the most unique item on your altar?

Don’t have one I’m trying to make a mini one but it’s proving to be kind of difficult since my parents can’t know.

22. Have you ever enchanted anything?

Does yarn count? Cause I did that for yarn when I was knitting to put some intent of protection, focus, booksmarts, luck, and concentration. Because I’m planning on using it for school. (I’m making a scarf)

No but I’ve had some encounters where I just can feel the extra energy but I haven’t seen one.
