The ultimate selfcare is consuming all your crystals and candles while drunk on moonlight

Creating a Spell Box

This is a diy witchy thing that I did this week to ease my boredom. I enjoy painting boxes, but I’ve never attempted to create them in this sort of way. Anyways, here’s what I did :)

Start by painting your box with a base layer. This makes it easy to layer it with the rest of the materials

Sprinkle some herbs onto the wet paint. I used herbs like mugwort, mint, and marshmallow root. This is because my box is dedicated to spirit work. I also sprinkled some sulfur into the mix to add some demonic connections

Next, I dripped wax over the herbs. This is done to seal the mixture, as well as to add some qualities to the box. I used a purple-blue “brow chakra” candle and another dark purple candle to accentuate the spirit-work energies

Paint over the wax (let it dry first!)

Add sigils to the box if desired. I painted a pentagram to the top of the box. On the front of the box, I added 4 sigils, which respectively mean: clear sight, clear feeling, clear knowing, and clear hearing. There are also sigils on the side of the box (not shown) that represent connections with ghosts and demons.

I used magic ink and a fountain pen to draw a spiral and a baphomet inside the box. This is optional. You can draw whatever you want inside of the box, or you could choose to leave it blank. It’s up to you.

Add what you want to the box! I added a spell scroll; some kyanite, moonstone, and labradorite; graveyard dirt; and some herbs in the bottom of the box. Shoutout to @a-tired-witch for helping me write the ritual on the spell scroll!

And that’s it! Send me pictures if any of you decide to create something like this. I’d love to see your ideas :)

You’re not a real witch unless you’ve watched The Craft at least 50 times

Hey, I'm kind of wondering if you can give an explanation on pendulum readings/ pendulums in general as they're something that we're kind of expected to know about but for noobs (like me) we have no clue?

Pendulums are one of the easiest forms of divination in my opinion. In their simplest usage, they can provide a simple “yes/no” answer to questions. When using a pendulum there are a few major schools of thought on how they work:

You’re contacting a spirit (angel, demon, ghost, etc.)

You’re contacting a deity

You’re contacting your higher self

You’re attuning to your inner self

I personally use pendulums in all of these ways, but each witch is different on whar they want to focus on here. Also, if you’re using it in ways other than attuning to your inner self, the appropriate measures of protection, summoning, etc. have to be taken.

To use your pendulum, the easiest way to distinguish your answers is by making a pendulum board. Just draw an equal-armed cross on a piece of paper, where the vertical line represents yes and the horizontal line represents no. Hover the point of the pendulum over the center of the cross and ask whatever you want!

Some witches prefer to allow the pendulum to choose what will represent yes and no. To do this, ask “show me yes,” where the pendulum will soon after move in a way to represent yes. Repeat the same with “no” and any other responses you wish to add. One of the reasons that this is a popular practice is that many witches believe that pendulums are alive; therefore, they allow the device to respond with its preferences.

More complex pendulum boards can also include an alphabet, numbers, etc., but this is a bit more advanced. Always take the appropriate protective measures when doing divination, whether that means a quick mental ward/ shield, lighting a protective candle, or even asking a guardian spirit to watch over you.
