Wealth Binding Spell

Bind wealth and financial prosperity to yourself with this very simple spell.

Materials:

Candle wax or glue

A penny (a birth year penny would enhance the bond)

A place to hide the charm (I like the underside of the kitchen table)

Take your penny in hand and recite your favorite money spell – I like the King Soon Money Mantra . Then say “I bind wealth to myself, as I bind this penny to _________.” Use the wax or glue to stick the penny to its hiding place.

The chandler’s version:

To bind success to your candle business, take a candle jar (with lid) and dedicate it to this spell. Every time you make a candle, take some of the melted wax, pour it in the jar, and toss in some coins. How many and what type is up to you. Say:

“I pour money into this jar as I poured it into my business. The money here grows as I grow my business. I bind financial success in this wax, and I grant it to myself as a reward for my work.”

When the jar is full of wax and coins, use wax to seal the lid onto the jar. Bury it in your yard, by the kitchen door, or hide it in the back of your pantry.

🌓 signs of curses 🌓

hello loves! this is going to be a bit of a tricky subject. I absolutely believe that curses, hexes, mal de ojo, buri nazar, and negative spirit attachments exist. with that being said, I also believe that a lot of the things we assume are signs of curses can also be signs of poor self care, vibration misalignment, poor health, and the effects of mental illness. I always suggest that, before jumping to the conclusion that something is a curse, ask yourself if it could be a result of something health related or psychological. always consult a doctor or psychologist if negative mental and physical symptoms persist. part of being a witch and a mystic means learning to discern what is spiritual concern and what is medical concern. I’d say that 9/10, these symptoms are mundane rather than mystical. please take responsibility for your spiritual, physical, and mental health! with that being said, here are some of the primary indication of a curses.  ✨ ⚡️

Sudden lack of motivation and loss of energy - specifically if you’ve been feeling stable and energized for a long period of time then, suddenly, you find yourself groggy and unable to clearly focus. 

Nightmares and sleep paralysis - dreams in which you’re being chased, killed, put in uncomfortable situations, or forced to face fears. pay attention to crows, vultures, owls, snakes, spiders, and rats if they appear in your dreams. these can sometimes be representative of bad omens. sleep paralysis has long been associated with spirit attachment.

Relationship difficulties - if you’ve been in a stable, loving relationship with your partner and things rapidly go downhill, it could be a sign of spiritual interference. this also applies for friendships and familial relationships. 

Financial loss - being fired suddenly, financial fraud, unexpected payments that come out of nowhere, competition within the workforce, legal issues, difficulty finding a job… these could all be potential indications of a curse. 

Dark Omens - mirrors breaking, crystals cracking, a string of bad luck, an heirloom going missing, a flock of crows surrounding you, etc.

Health Problems - headaches, panic attacks (if you are not usually prone to them), random pains, cuts that appear out of no where, intense muscle spasms, strange allergies, increased anxiety. as I said before, please get these things looked at by a professional. even if you’re certain it’s the result of a curse, medical attention is still needed. 

Difficulty sleeping - it’s common for those who have attracted a lower-vibration spirit to wake up between the hours of 3-4 AM. general disruption of sleep patterns is also a sign. 

Inability to access intuition - you may find it difficult to connection to your pendulum, cards, or other divination tools. when you go to do your usually spiritual work you’ll hit a ‘wall’ that prevents you from truly tapping in. 

⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️ 

how do I know if it’s a curse or something else?

the main difference is that these ‘symptoms’ will appear suddenly and out of no where. they’re a huge contrast from your normal vibration. if you’ve experienced these symptoms for as long as you can remember, it might be a sign of something psychological in which I suggest you consult a professional. for example, prolonged anxiety attacks could clearly be the result of general anxiety disorder. consistent lack of motivation is usually associated with depression. can long term mental illnesses be caused by a curse? it’s possible, yes, but not likely.  also, these can all be related to non mental or physical illnesses. perhaps you’re having difficulty sleeping because you dink caffeine too late in the day. maybe you can’t access your intuition because you’re not being consistent with your spiritual routine. maybe you’re having headaches because you’re drinking too much alcohol. too often people will blame their own short-comings on a curse because it’s easier to place the blame outside of ourselves rather than taking responsibility. 

how does one get rid of a curse? 

first of all, if you believe you’re under a curse, take a deep breath and know that you’re going to be okay! just by recognizing that there’s an antagonistic outside force against you, you’re taking away it’s power. awareness is key! my favorite way to handle a curse is through prayer, mantra, salt baths, smoke cleansing, selenite wands, florida water soak, and visualization. any combination of these things 

my fave mantra is the mantra of kali ma, destroyer of darkness, evil, and spiritual obstacles. 

om kring kalikaye namo namaha

listen to it here 

also, if you’re comfortable, asking archangel michael for clearing and protection would be lovely! 

⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️

that’s all I have for you, my loves! remember to protect yourself and stay safe when you’re fucking with magic! feel free to hit me up with questions!

Banishing Nasty Spirits

If you’ve been following this series of posts, you know why a witch might work with spirits, how to establish a relationship with a spirit, and how to communicate with spirits. What we haven’t yet discussed is how to get rid of spirits that are bothersome, annoying, or malevolent.

I was planning to talk about pathworking and astral travel before getting into banishing, but in light of some asks I recently received on Tumblr, I think it’s important that we take a moment to discuss how to get rid of spirits that, for whatever reason, you don’t want around.

There are lots of reasons you might not want a spirit in your space. Just like with people, some spirits just aren’t a good fit for you and your practice. Part of being a spirit worker is cultivating a “spirit team” of beings that you can have healthy and beneficial relationships with.

Some spirits are mischievous and like to cause trouble. If you find yourself on the receiving end of lots of spirit pranks, you may want to gently encourage them to move along. And there are some spirits out there who just genuinely hate humans and will go out of their way to cause mental, emotional, and even physical harm.

Don’t get me wrong — malevolent spirits aren’t common. In my experience, the vast majority of unwanted spirits are more annoying than dangerous. I’m not saying this to scare you or make you paranoid. But these things do exist, and it would be negligent of me not to mention them in a series on spirit work.

There’s a reason that one of the most common truisms in witchcraft is, “Never conjure something you can’t banish.” If you’re going to be working with spirits, it’s a good idea to know how to banish them just in case. With that being said, here’s how you can clear out any nasties that may be lingering in your space.

Cleansing

The first step is to kick those unwanted spirits out of your space. There are lots of ways to do this, so choose the one that is the best fit for you.

Cleansing with fire and smoke is a very old and very simple method. If this is the way you decide to go, there are several magical substances you can burn to banish spirits. Burning sulfur or asafetida will clear out just about anything, but they both smell awful and are potentially toxic, so you’ll want to get an okay from the other people living in your home, burn a little at a time, and make sure you have lots of windows open. (Some people say sulfur and asafetida will banish all spirits, not just the unfriendly ones, so you may have to invite your spirit team back in later.) For something that smells a little more pleasant, you can try a mix of frankincense and myrrh resin, or burn a mix of dried rosemary, sage (garden sage, not endangered white sage, please!), and bay leaves — but again, make sure you have windows open, because these get smoky. Plus, you want the windows and/or doors open so the spirits have somewhere to go when the smoke chases them out.

If smoking up your living space isn’t an option for you, you can manually clean your space with a wash or powder. If you have hardwoods, you can make a floor wash with water, salt, lemon juice, rosewater, lavender essential oil, and either bay laurel or rosemary essential oil. (This is adapted from an uncrossing bath in the book Utterly Wicked by Dorothy Morrison.) Use this mixture to mop your floors, as well as to wipe down your walls and furniture. If you have a humidifier or essential oil diffuser, diffusing some of this mix would also be a good idea.

If you have carpet, you can make a powder by combining salt, dried lemon peel, dried roses, lavender flowers, and bay leaves. You’ll need to ground this really fine, so I recommend using a coffee grinder or food processor. Sprinkle the powder on your carpet, let it sit for a few minutes, and then vacuum it up. I would supplement this by also diffusing a mix of saltwater with rosewater, lemon juice, and lavender and/or bay laurel essential oil. If you don’t have a diffuser, at least sprinkle some saltwater around the room and on your belongings.

No matter which form of cleansing you decide to use, it’s important to verbally state your intention to banish these unwanted spirits from your space. Tell them out loud that they are no longer welcome here and that they need to leave. Don’t be rude about it, but be firm and speak clearly and with confidence.

After you cleanse your space, it’s a good idea to cleanse yourself as well to remove any psychic ties to the spirits you’ve just banished. The easiest way to do this is with a ritual bath. The floor wash recipe mentioned earlier can also be used as a psychic cleansing bath. Other options include a bath with salt, frankincense, and myrrh or a bath with salt, rosemary, sage, and bay laurel. You can use essential oils for your bath, or add the resins and herbs to a cheesecloth bag and drop it into the tub for easy diffusing and cleanup.

If you don’t have a bathtub, you can cleanse yourself in the shower. Place two cups of salt in a bowl. Add lemon juice, rosewater, lavender essential oil, and either bay laurel or rosemary essential oil. If you don’t have essential oils, you can add dried lavender and crushed bay leaves. Add some of your favorite body wash to create a scrub (if you don’t have body wash, use olive oil). While in the shower, use this mixture to scrub your skin — visualize yourself scrubbing away any psychic gunk you might have picked up.

Protection

Once you’ve removed any unwanted spirits from your space, you want to lay down some protection to keep them from coming back. There are as many ways to ward off spirits as there are witches, but here are a few ideas to get you started.

One option is to create a ward. You can do this by anointing the door frames, door knobs, and window frames of your home with a protective oil blend and/or by creating lines of salt across your doorways and just inside your windows. You can use other protective substances if you prefer. As you lay down these protections, visualize a protective shield around your home, and speak aloud your intention to keep harmful spirits out.

Iron is said to repel spirits. Keep a railroad spike or other large piece of iron under your bed to prevent nightmares and to keep spirits from messing with you while you sleep. There’s an old superstition that says that hammering iron nails into the four corners of your home protects it from spirits — this may not be possible if you’re renting, but you can create a similar effect by displaying a piece of iron in each of the four corners of your home. Hematite is a crystal that is high in iron, so it can be used in a similar way to ward off spirits.

Aloe is said to protect from negative spirits, and to bring protection and good luck more generally. It’s also a common house plant that is easy to care for, so this method of protection is especially great for witches who need to keep their practice a secret. Keep several aloe plants in your home to protect those who live there.

For witches with a crafty side, making a witch bottle is another option for protection. There are lots of different recipes for witch bottles, but the basic method is to fill a bottle with sharp objects, add something from your body, and hide it somewhere outside your home (traditionally buried on the property, but leaving it in an outbuilding works just as well). The idea is that any nasty spirit that comes looking for you will be attracted to the bottle (because it contains part of your body), get caught by the sharp objects, and be trapped. To create a simple witch bottle, fill a mason jar about halfway with sewing pins, then add a bit of your hair and some of your fingernail clippings, and finally fill it with liquid (traditionally, this liquid is your own urine, but if that makes you uncomfortable vinegar will also work). If you want, you can also include some of your favorite banishing herbs, resins, or crystals.

Religious symbols can also keep nasty spirits away. If you identify strongly with a religion, display protective symbols from that faith in your living space. For example: a Christian witch might hang up a crucifix or set out a statue of Archangel Michael, a Norse pagan witch might hang up an image of Mjolnir, a Hindu witch might display a statue of Durga, etc. Sometimes the most effective way to keep nasty spirits away is to let them know that you’re under the protection of someone more powerful.

When dealing with unwanted spirits, the most important thing to remember is that you do not need to be afraid. You are a powerful witch, and you are more than capable of getting rid of them. Be confident in your abilities and know that whatever happens, you can handle it.

[cunningcelt]

I just saw a necromantic ritual on my feed to summon a spirit. It included a list of things to make sure you’ve accomplished before attempting the ritual, and the ritual itself made use of some tools/ingredients that I wouldn’t personally have recommended, but to each their own

What I really didn’t like about this post, however, was the four reasons it gave for why the ritual may have failed:

“1. Your intentions where not pure. 
2. You lack the experience to summon the spirit. 
3. You did not do as instructed. 
4. You are weak. ”

I don’t like this. I don’t this for a couple of reasons.

First of all, it implies that if you did everything right, if you were pure, have experienced followed all the instructions, and were strong, then the ritual would absolutely 100% work. This just simply isn’t true. No ritual or spell will be 100% effective 100% of the time. There are absolutely no guarantees with magic. None. To imply otherwise is simply incorrect.

Second of all, there myriad reasons other than what are listed that a spell or ritual might fail, especially when dealing with spirits. Perhaps the spirit is otherwise engaged. Maybe it didn’t want to be summoned; to think we have the power to be in total control of all spirits is simply hubris. And maybe the magic just didn’t work. See point one.

Thirdly, “you are weak.” Seriously? What does that even mean? Does it mean mentally weak? Spiritually? Magically? Physically? What does that mean? Does it mean that mentally ill or neurodivergent people won’t be able to perform this ritual? Does it mean the physically disabled won’t be able to perform this ritual? Chronically ill people? What I really don’t like about this part of the post is that if your intentions were pure (whatever that means), you did as instructed, and do have the required experience, this person would have you believe you are “weak,” when this is almost certainly not the case. I understand and appreciate that there are advanced magics and rituals that cannot and should not be performed or attempted by beginners. But this idea of “weakness” is not something that I think should be fostered in our community, especially as a reason that for magic failed.

If your magic failed, it does not mean you are weak.

Not For Sale!

One of my favorite things I’ve cut in the past few years. A 16.85ct Ametrine Icosohedron or D20 dice typically used for role playing games like Dungeons & Dragons. I plan on cutting some more of these but they will typically be pretty small compared to a standard die and won’t have numbers on them.
