Witch Tip Wednesday 11.14.18

Hidden in Plain Sight

Adding a dust jacket to your witchy books

Yes, I know this is a repeat tip, but much like the broom tutorial, this is fleshed out! This post was pretty much my first Witch Tip that sparked these Wednesday posts last November. It was rough and a photo set and not formatted and blah blah. Figured I would revisit it for the anniversary! Also, I couldn’t figure out how to re-format it and reblog it because it was an old photo and caption thing…

I got this book at my local retailer and as usual when I get a hardback witchcraft book, I decided to cover it with wrapping paper. I do this for a few reasons and it takes just a couple minutes but has saved my books from damage numerous times.

Most witchcraft, supernatural, occult related books I get that are hardcover, don’t have dust jackets.

I can read a covered book in public without a hassle from strangers.

When they’re covered I can keep them out on the bookshelves without worry of house guests getting all skeeved out by yet another pentacle or misunderstood symbol on the spine glaring at them.

It protects my books…simple. There have been some near misses where the wrapping protected the cover from damage and that’s awesome.

You could go hog wild and recover all your non dust jacketed books if you’re a closet witch. Designate a specific wrapping paper for your spooky ones and witchcraft ones, and no one is the wiser. At most, they’d usually just think you had a cool idea of adding some color and festivity to your bookshelf.

You can also magic them up. Write sigils, messages, spells etc on the reverse side of the paper and know each book has a layer of protection, secrecy, memory retention or whatever you feel inspired to do.

Wrapping paper is out and about this time of year and benefits of the times we’re in, there’s usually a fair amount that aren’t related to the holidays, but rather colors, patterns and just neutral designs. Here’s a small walk through…it’s easy, but some small tweaks make it easier.

🦇Cheers, Barberwitch

Cleansing...

It’s so easy to forget about a form of cleansing that is so relieving and fulfilling. Phone cleansing!

🌟-Clean off the screen, pop off the case and clean it out. Before you do this, trace a cleansing sigil on the screen with your finger then wipe it off. 🌟-Charge any sigils you keep in the case. 🌟-Pop it on the charger, let it charge to 100%. Additionally, making a cleansing sigil your lock screen for this. 🌟-Upload your photos and delete them. Or go through and delete the ones you don’t like. 🌟-Clean out your contacts. You don’t need that random person’s number anymore. 🌟-Get rid of ALL of those bubble notifications. All of them. 🌟-Rearrange your apps. 🌟-Unfollow/unfriend people on social media who you dislike, their content isn’t your thing anymore, or are downright toxic. 🌟-Change your wallpaper! It’s time for a new background. 🌟-Delete those apps you never use, they’re just wasting space. 🌟-Go through your notes, only keep the things you need. 🌟-Get a new phone case! 🌟-Narrow down your music selection to the things you actually listen to, add a couple new songs.

The Living Wiccan's "Hell Hath No Fury" Protection Powder

This is a very simple protection salt I use to ring around my rituals, cleanse my spaces, and even sweep the floor with.

It’s good because not only does it protect, but gives a nice bite back to any negativity/entity/thing that tries to cross it. Best for ritual work and simple spirit work, not necessarily protection from physical attackers.

It’s something pretty much every single one of my readers can make at home with its ridiculously simple ingredients and process, but it’s not something that everyone would think of off the top of their head.

Ready? Here we go. Try not to sneeze!

You’ll need: 

1 part sea salt (coarse is best: see picture below)

1 part black peppercorns

1 part chili powder

a large bowl

mortar and pestle

bottles (size varies on how much you want to make)

funnel (optional, but not worth leaving out)

Step 1: 

Place the coarse salt and black peppercorns in the mortar and pestle. Grind them together. Yes, technically this could also be done with ground pepper, but I find the actual effort put into grinding them makes the powder more effective.

This’ll take a long time — you’ll want it to turn to a fine, light brown powder. 

Step 2:

Yes, you guessed it: place the sea salt and chili powder in the mortar and pestle and grind together. Remember how I said this was easy?

This should turn to a light orange, almost pink when finished (my pictures really don’t do it justice). 

Step 3: 

Add the two together. You can see the peppercorn mix on the left and the chili pepper mix on the right.

Step 4: 

Ready? Time to get this thing in a bottle. This is where that funnel I mentioned earlier can really come in handy. 

And there we have it! Put a nice little label on it, put the date you made it on the back, and now you have your own all-purpose protection powder.

Energy Cleansing!

Energy Cleansing Through Cleaning!

Have you been feeling down? Too tired to get up and do things. Or that no matter how much normal witch-y cleansing you do, there is always something going on? Well, from my experiences, running around with a broom or vacuum smacking those dirt away really helps!

Here are some ways I clean up the energies in my house. If you have any additions add them on! I’d love to hear them and I’m sure others would love it too!

Vacuuming - Oh the smell of a room after it’s been vacuumed. Cleaner but also a little empty. Vacuuming is a good “lets whip the slate clean of everything”. It sucks up the energies in your home leaving it clean and blank.  After a good vacuuming is a perfect time to do some home blessings and protections!

Sweeping - Banishing! Now go go go, the broom shrieks as you brush away dirt and old leaves. Sweeping is a perfect way to banish energies. Not suck them up and get ride of them. Oh no, banish them. Forcibly remove them from your place cuz those nastiest aren’t allowed to stay around. You can also put charms on the broom so it lays down goodness as it banishes the not so good stuff.

Window Cleaning - Opening the mind to inspiration and clear thinking. Whipping away the muck from the windows allows the home to be charged and energy flow in smoothly. It also can bring in more inspiration and clearer intuition. 

Cleaning The dishes - Time to help harmony move around. Spreading love and charm with eat spoon, plate, and bowls. Allowing fulfillment of the stomach and the soul! Wipe away the muck of the day, and bring in time to for better days!

That’s all I can think of right now. But all of these simple things are great ways to move away from the past and start a fresh slate. After or while you clean is a perfect time to light some warm comfy smells. Good luck with you happy cleansing!

mega witch tip

stop asking your tarot decks for answers. ask them for advice instead.

tarot decks can only give you a possible outcome. one way the situation can turn out. some things are set in stone, and some aren’t. the tarot can’t tell you which is which, but it can advise you on how to move forward either way.

Activated Charcoal = ineffective meds

Friendly reminder that activated charcoal, even when put into food as a black colorant, binds to medication and can make it ineffective. Yes, this includes birth control! I thought I’d put this PSA out there since people are making spooky “black” versions of normal foods.

[golbatgender]

Seriously, use Dutch cocoa (like Hershey’s Special Dark cocoa powder) or food dye instead. It’s much safer.
