You're so vain, you probably think this handmade poppet in your likeness with pins stuck all over it is about you.

taglocks tldr;

taglocks are items used to tie a spell to an object or person, whom i will be referring to as a target for the purpose of this post.

taglocks are items or ideas that represent the target or have belonged to the target - their name written down, a photo of them, their signature, DNA, etc.

they are especially useful for sympathetic magic (using objects or actions resembling or symbolically associated with the situation you want to influence).

keep in mind, the term “sympathetic” has nothing to do with actual sympathy or empathy - it refers to the idea of “like attracts like” and relates to the synchronicities and ties between objects and events that are involved to make these spells successful. think “making a poppet representing a target [using taglocks] in order to gain control over them or their actions.”

sympathetic magic can be helpful or harmful depending on your intent.

“isn’t all magic sympathetic?” well not necessarily - let’s say you want to cast a shield over yourself. you could go the route of visualization and energy manipulation to form the shield; or you could go the sympathetic route and use objects or items that represent yourself and the type of shield you want in order to perform the spell instead.

taglocks can be added to poppets, spell jars, sachets, or any other vessel you wish to contain the spell and its ingredients.

✏️ WITCH TIP ✏️

If you don’t have a printer available, but want a photo of someone for a spell as a taglock, you can pull up the picture on some electronic, place a thin piece of paper over the screen, and trace their photo with a pencil. Take it away from the screen and fix it up to look clean and accurate (it doesn’t have to be good or perfect, just recognizable enough as that person). You can use that drawing instead of a photo, and even add some color if you wanna.

Re: digital taglocks

They work. Quite well.

This is why if you have valid reasons to suspect that a person in your life has the means and intent to do you magical harm, your first step in protecting yourself should be the make sure that they do not have access to your digital footprint. Block them from seeing all of your social media, if possible. Make sure your photos are not public.

If you suspect that they may have photos of you from the past, change how you look. (Cutting and/or dyeing your hair is the easiest way to do this)

This is not meant to be scare tacticy. Most people will not get magically attacked by other people. This is meant for somebody who has a REASON to assume magical harm.

a bit of info on taglocks

what is a taglock? - a taglock is essentially something used in magic to create a strong bond between the working and the person casting the spell ((or the target)). taglocks are things that tend to hold someone’s dna like hair, blood, spit, fingernail clippings, etc! but pictures can be used as taglocks as well

who can use taglocks? - literally anyone who wants to give their spell workings a bit of a boost of their own personal power.

can taglocks be used for baneful workings? - absolutely! when a spell says to add a picture of the person or a bit of their hair, that is a taglock! i feel like taglocks are more popular in baneful workings nowadays but you can use them in a number of other types of workings/spells!

Please take everything I say at face value, do your own research on the topics I’ve presented. What works for me may not work for you. You can substitute or subtract pretty much anything as long as it’s not a major component in a spell. Make sure you are prepared fully before doing some of the ones I’ve listed and educate yourself on the ways backfiring presents itself. If you try any of these lmk I’d love to hear it!

Okay. Okay. I've got one. Taglocks.

In my practice, I draw energy from myself first and foremost for most spells. In other cases, I draw energy from my tools (such as my crystals). When I draw energy from my tools, very often I channel the energy through myself before or during the casting. I'm very hands-on and involved in my spells and approach.

So in that case, I don't feel the need to have hyper-specific taglocks for my targets. Often, I'll just have a name and a memory of their faces. That's worked quite well for me, because it's either my energy or it's energy that specifically comes through me to do a spell thing.

But this is by no means universal. It's just how my own craft has evolved through experimentation and work. And other people will have different experiences with it.

Which is my favorite part of magic, honestly. Because imagine how boring it would be if all of our practices looked exactly the same?
