I was wondering if you had any magical tips on getting bugs to leave you alone? I've pretty much exhausted all mundane options (and have been using a spell I made, to middling success), but without fail, if my sibling and I are eating/drinking the exact same thing, bugs will just decide my plate/cup is the hill to die on. I mean, these things crawl into my straws and die, end up in my sheets. It's bizarre. OTL
Um, blessed salt on the perimeter of a place. If that place is concrete and it’s connected to the house, then do it on the perimeter of the concrete to the house. If the perimeter that you wish to bless and protect has grass try chili flakes, or any spice for that matter, instead (straight spice btw, nothing that is mixed together with salt).
You can also ask the nature spirits to help guide any unwanted bugs away from the area you wish. I would say ask the fae, but if you don’t know how to, you can get caught up in their mess. So just ask nature spirits in general. And no “thank you’s” just “I appreciate if you choose to work with me”. Continued offerings may also help them help you as well (bi-weekly or monthly). Nature spirits also love homemade things so cookies, cake, any food that is made can be a good offering that they appreciate.
You may also want to look into why you keep getting bugs or why they are around like they are with divination. I get bugs being bugs but if they get to be too much, there may be something off.
EDIT: I also just thought about “what if they’re in an apartment?” cause I’m in one. But instead of something around the building (unless you just want to be nice), you’ll bless 3 things; doors, windows and vents. You don’t know how many times I have been in a room looking up just because and a roach just crawled out of a vent, destroying my peace.
So, take water and salt or water and a spice, bless it, and wipe it on the doors, windows, and vents of your place. You can still ask the nature spirits for help but for things specific to where you stay, you can do this.
