I'm a newer witch, about a year and I half. I have been working on a glamour spell for months and finally think I did it? I enchanted my necklace and my ring, and every time I did a self reminder of the glamour spell, I got shivers, almost like a wave of energy flowing around me. I'm not sure if it worked, or if i'm just searching desperately for "signs". What are your thoughts? The glamour was done with pure intent and love. The glamour was self love and beauty. Felt like I should add that in.

In short, if you think it worked, then it probably did. I can’t really tell you if it changed how you look to others, but if it enhanced your own self love and confidence in your own beauty, then it certainly worked! 

I definitely understand the search for signs that your craft is having an effect, but remember the most important piece is the intent and belief you put into it! The shivers make me think that you were effectively channeling your intent and that you could feel the power created by your concentration and effort. Especially considering how much time you’ve been working on it, it definitely sounds like you have channeled a lot of energy and intent into that spell. 

Very cool! Keep it up! You’ll only get stronger the more you practice like that. :) 

All our love, Your Witch Mums

[violetwitchcraft-deactivated202]

While being active in a spiritual community that holds many people from different countries and belief systems, it’s important to interact with them equipped with the proper respect they deserve. Here is a short list of acts and terms that are considered disrespectful! 

Whether you’re new to witchcraft or a seasoned veteran, there is still information here you will find valuable. I believe it’s important to talk about these things in a controlled manner so people realise that it’s not an attack when we say not to use these terms. Forward this post to a friend if you need to give them a gentle nudge away from some shady activities they may have been unwittingly pursuing. 

Smudging

One of the most incorrect terms used widely in the community, smudging is a specific ritual within Native American belief and spirituality that is exclusive to those practitioners and those practitioners alone. The non-appropriate non-Native equivalent of a similar act of cleansing is called smoke cleansing. Many people use the terms smoke cleansing and smudging synonymously when they are two different things! It’s extremely disrespectful to claim to smudge if you are not Native.

Dreamcatchers

While this one causes less offence, it’s still going to grant you an eye-roll from anyone educated on the matter. Dreamcatchers are again, aspects of Native culture. Dreamcatchers can be gifted or sold to non-Native people respectfully so long as the seller is of that culture themselves. Most of the time, however, non-Native shops exploit and make money from this iconic practice while the Native peoples continue to see none of the rewards for something that is theirs, which is why buying non-Native dreamcatchers is seen as offensive. Additionally, it is the words and energy woven into the dreamcatcher that gives it power. There’s little point in buying a cheap dreamcatcher from Becky on Etsy for the aesthetic.

Spirit Animals & Totems

Similar to Smudging, Spirit Animals and Totems are exclusive to Native American practise and simply can not be used unless you are a part of that culture. They are again, very specific terms that people have wrongly interpreted to be universal. If you wish to work with animal spirits in your practice, a more appropriate term to use would be a spirit companion, or simply an animal spirit.

Black & White Magic/Witchcraft

This is a niche issue and depending on who you ask you’ll have a different answer on if this causes offence or not. I can’t give a definite ‘Don’t use these terms, they are bad’ to you but I can say they are pretty dated and a good alternative would be to use light and dark magic instead. The term ‘Black magic’ holds racist connotations for many. ‘Black Magic’ is often seen as a negative force yet holds associations with hoodoo, voodoo and African spirituality. It puts non-western, non-white magic into an ‘other’ section, something nefarious to be feared, and innately implies a lack of moral purity. ‘White Magic’ is mostly considered to encompass modern spiritual healing,  western neo-witchcraft and neo-Wicca, and is painted as the ‘Good’ and moral choice. In other words, these terms create a subtle racial divide that leads to some unconscious potentially racist views of cultures outside of what the west considers the norm.

Closed or Partially Closed Cultures

There are countless religions which are open for anyone and everyone to join. Norse, Hellenic and Kemetic Paganism are just 3 examples.

However, many religions and spiritualities are closed to any who are not born into them. These cultures are often closed in order to protect the longevity, quality of information and ward against theft. As many of these practices rely on the wisdom and connection of ancient ancestors, it makes little sense for those not born into them to practise them and is believed the deity or spirit of the culture in question would be offended at someone trying to do so. 

As well as closed cultures, there are also such things as partially closed cultures and religions. These are initiation based; in order to practise them, you must have permission or have been introduced to the culture by someone already within it.

Wicca And Witchcraft

There has been a confusion of these two terms for a very long time. Wicca is a religion. Witchcraft is not. Witchcraft is a practice, a way of channelling energy to achieve a desired intent. It has no specific belief system. Christians can be witches and atheists can be witches. Wicca is a specific earth-based religion in which the followers also happen to be witches.

Wicca, ‘The Old Religion’

A lot of Wiccan authors will tell you that Wicca is the one main pagan religion that has been around for thousands of years; this is incorrect! It was a theory that the founder of Wicca, Gerald Gardner, picked up from a historian called Margret Murray. In one of her texts, she theorised the existence of one main continuous witch-cult religion. Wicca was based on this belief. This theory, however, has been disproven MANY times by other historians and is simply incorrect. Wicca was born in the 1950s, early 40s at a push. It was loosely based on a mishmash of late 19th and early 20th century texts combined with influence from African spirituality and a healthy dose of imagination. 

‘A REAL witch wouldn’t curse’ or ‘It is against the rules of witchcraft to curse people!’ or ‘You must follow the Threefold Law!’ or ‘You must follow the Rede’!

Whether or not a witch chooses to curse or not is entirely up to them. There is NO rule against cursing unless you belong to a religion that forbids it. There are no rules to witchcraft at all; it is a personal, secular experience that no one can tell you how to do. Both the Threefold Law and the Wiccan Rede are exclusive to Wicca and do not have to be followed if you are not a Wiccan.

Karma

The concept of Karma is not what you probably think it is at all. Not only is Karma exclusive to religions like Buddhism and Hinduism, the rough actual meaning of Karma is that the actions a person takes in this life will decide the fate of their next life.

Chakras

The use and knowledge of working with Chakras is again, a CLOSED practise belonging to Indian tantric religions such as Hinduism and Buddhism. Knowledge of Chakras has been so watered down and stripped of its identity at this point that any book you read on the topic is most likely for lack of a better term, new age nonsense. You do not have to use the term Chakra to pertain to energy centres within your body.

G*psy

This is an actual, racial slur against the Romani people based on European confusion of who the Romani are. The term came from the belief that the Romani were from Egypt. Do not use this ever; by many people, it’s considered just as offensive as the N word. An additional note to remember; different countries can have different incarnations of cultures and terms that often become confused. For example, the UK is home to many Irish Travellers, who also get the word G*psy thrown at them. The word Traveller can be taken as an insult to Romani people in the US, while it’s the actual politically correct term used by the British government in the official documentation for the Irish who are from this culture in the UK.

Witch Tip: Spell Pods

Looking for an easy to travel with, discreet alternative to spell bottles/satchels?

Allow me to introduce Spell Pods!

After removing the chapstick, cutting out the plastic separator, and thoroughly cleaning the container, EOS chapstick containers are an excellent substitute for bottle or satchels.

They are easy to carry, can hold a lot of ingredients, and are not suspicious.

Goodbye Spell

A spell to let go of someone in your life without causing harm to them using one of the 4 elements ✨

What you need (there is 4 options) ✨

For the element earth you will need a leaf or flower petal

For the element air you will need an incense stick

For the element fire you will need a piece of paper

For the element water you will need a rock/stone

Let this be a time of emotion, saying goodbye is never easy. Never be ashamed and do what’s best for yourself.

Earth: take the leaf or petal and write the persons name on it. Bury it.

Air: go outside, light the incense and write the persons name with the smoke in the air. Blow it away or let the wind take it.

Fire: write the persons name on the paper. Burn it.

Water: write the persons name on the rock. Throw it into a body of water.

During this process, think about why you’re saying goodbye and why it’s best for you. Cry if you need too, pour your heart into this. This needs all of your intent for it to work. You can expect that person to slowly disappear out of your life. Take your time during the process ✨

** I always accept spell requests **

Obscure-ish Ways to Charge Spells (Mostly Crystals)

Hold onto your crystals, spell jar, or other bit of witchery while watching a film that riles you up emotionally. (personally, I find Lifetime movies to be perfect for this)

If you’re one of those people who meditate before bed (and, like me, fall asleep promptly afterwards), either hold onto your crystals in your palms or keep them in your pajama pockets.

If you work retail (or any other similarly aggravating job), carry or wear a crystal around your neck and focus all your annoyance into it instead of getting fed up. It cooks up a solid frenzy of energy, perfect for a small hex, curse, or otherwise petty spell.

Sing to your spell.

Scream. Just fucking scream at your fucking rocks.

[witchy-woman]

just a little psa~

you aren’t any less of a witch if you buy your herbs and spices from the grocery store (dried up for your spice rack or fresh from the produce isle) instead of growing them yourself. not everyone has the time, space, energy, money, tools or skills to grow a dang herb garden and it doesn’t make you any less of a boss witch if you don’t.

Polished Angelite

Metaphysical Properties: Serenity, inner peace, forgiveness, stress relief, dispels anger and fear.

In religion we call it spirits. In science we call it energy. In the streets we call it vibes. All I'm saying is trust it.

Conservatives just won our (provincial) election.

Witches, time to do all you can to stop Ford from doing as much damage as he has planned.

I’m sick to my stomach and feeling how it felt when Trump was elected all over again.

[therestlesswitch]

For those of you that want to help, I think it’s be most effective to do the sort of stuff that will keep each bill he tries to pass from getting through all the stages it needs to. It could be equally as effective to do something to give voice to those seat holders that you agree with.

I’m not sure how I personally feel about bindings, that’s a thing you could do.

You could light a blue candle to give voice to those that need to be heard most.

Donate to local women’s shelters, family planning centers, LGBTQA+ organizations, green/environmental groups, and donate to whatever party you would have wanted to see win.

You can also do specific curses on DF.. personally I’ll probably do something like a ‘all the skeletons come out of your closet’ or some other sort of spell that would make how terrible he is obvious to the whole world.

[therosequartzwitch-love-blog]

The Rose Quartz is a stone I work very closely with, as I try to do everything with a love intent. That being said, I get a lot of people asking me “So do you have a spell to make a person fall in love?”

My answer is usually no.. I never give out spells with the intentions to take somebody of their free will. So rather then a spell to make somebody fall in love, I give the person inquiring a spell to help open the heart of the other, if meant to be. 

Love Spell

For this spell you’re going to need:

A Cauldron or another safe place to contain a fire ( A clean ashtray will do in a pinch)

A piece of paper

A red pen

Four pink or red candles ( Can use two of each)

Rose Quartz

Wait until night to do this spell! Works best during Full Moon, but optional.

Cast your circle and put each candle in the four cardinal directions outlining your circle. Light your fire in the cauldron (or whatever you choose to use.)

On the piece of paper, draw a heart with the red pen, and inside of it write the name of the specific person. Place your rose quartz on the name, and cover it with your hands. While you do this, imagine a beam of pink energy and love flowing from your heart, through your hands onto the stone, spreading through the paper. Pour all of your love for this person into this energy with the purest intent, and imagine them being bathed in this soft, gentle beam of light. 

Next, remove the rose quartz and hold it in your primary hand. Pick up the paper and kiss the name on the paper three times. Put the paper in the fire and allow it to be consumed by the flames. Repeat the following: 

My heart is open to give and receive,

My love I send to thee,

If you find a place in your heart to love me,

By the greatest good, so let it be!

Close your circle and Ta-Da! The spell is cast

Storing and Hiding Moon Water

Moon Water should generally be kept out of direct light, and I’ve found there are lots of ways to do this even if you are living in tight spaces or keeping your craft hidden, here are some ideas I’ve had and/or tried, I hope they help! Dark Storage Ideas: 

☽ In cabinets, drawers, bedside tables, under ones bed, under the sink, anywhere practical and out of the way

☽ Pouring into a dark, opaque bottle.

☽ Covering your bottle or container with cloth or otherwise wrapping it. Could be done decoratively or with ritual as well.

☽ Create a dark curtain over one shelf on a case or cabinet by hanging some cloth over it, you can pin it with books on the shelf above or otherwise, creating a nice little dark space if you’re out of room in more practical dark areas.  

Hiding Moon Water (And Other Liquids)

☽ Distilled or otherwise clear water can be hidden more easily; water bottles stored in a bag or closet wouldn’t usually seem odd, however, make sure the water is safe to drink before storing it in a manner when you or a room mate/family member might pick it up to drink by mistake. 

☽ Store it in a dark or opaque spray bottle; “for plants” or “keeping the cat from scratching the furniture” and it’s already perfect for if you intend on using the water for cleansing an object, room, or watering your plants, or other spritzing activities.

☽ Clean and cleanse an empty, opaque bottle of any kind; a shampoo bottle, a old food container, a hand soap dispenser.

☽ Use tiny bottles; (you can usually find some at dollar and craft stores) they can be places anywhere out of sight, behind books on a shelf, in the corner of your cabinets, inside the rim of plant pots, jewelry boxes, inside other containers.

☽ Other tiny containers like former makeup bottles, small plastic containers, vials, anything hollowed and seal able, use your imagination! 

☽ Use a large pencil case, old makeup bag or shoe box to store medium and small bottles in plain sight. 

*Just be careful in all cases that if corks or lids may leak, to secure the containers in an upright position to keep them from spilling, loosing your moon water and ruining other belongings. 

 *Careful not to leave lingering soap or other debris behind in the bottle that might pollute spells or cleansing, harm plants, or you, if you plan on drinking the water. Do not store drinking water in something that has carried a toxic substance, just be safe.

*When hiding moon water, remember to try and keep in a dim or dark place if not in a opaque bottle

As a sorta long note of caution (sorry)If there’s a chance your water might be discovered by a parent or other person who would react badly or even dangerously to this sort of activity for some reason; be absolutely certain to have an excuse that holds up, or find a safer way to carry out your practice. Moon water is most often obtained on the full moon, but different phases also give different energy, so you aren’t confined to that one night (A mistake I made much earlier on was trying to collect all my moon water for the month during the full moon.) It can be as simple as leaving a plastic bottle on your windowsill at night to carry around with you the next day for use if long term storage isn’t practical or a good idea for you. Witchcraft is a craft of necessity; sometimes it feels uncomfortable to lack all the “proper” tools and rituals, but remember the strength is in your intention and wit, do what you have to based on your circumstances; your practice is just as valid.

These are all I have for now, but feel free to add any ideas you might have in comments or reblogging!
