I'm a Witch, Bitch

The name's Aiden. they/them. I'm 20, and I'm just starting officially on my path. I have a little experience with tarot and herbology though. A sideblog where I'll be sharing my spells and compiling other things of interest.  Tarot Readings: Open

[goblinunderthebridge]

𝒮𝓉𝑜𝓅 𝒮𝓅𝑒𝓃𝒹𝒾𝓃𝑔, 𝒮𝓉𝒶𝓇𝓉 𝒮𝒶𝓋𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝐵𝒾𝓃𝒹𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝒮𝓅𝑒𝓁𝓁

With the holiday season coming up and hours getting increased at work + seasonal jobs opening up, as well as companies screaming at you constantly “BUY, BUY, BUY!”, this is the time of year I feel most inclined to spend. We may even feel inclined to buy the most extravagant presents for our loved ones when we know we can’t afford it. Or maybe you just have a chronic reckless spending problem, and you need to stop buying for now and save for the future. This spell will bind you from reckless spending so you won’t feel caught up in the materialism that is the Christmas season. ✨

Moon phase;

preferably a new moon, but you can perform this on any night of the waning cycle (I’m performing mine this upcoming new moon on November 7).

Materials;

1 blue candle for willpower, patience, and focus.

1 piece of green aventurine (or any crystal that represents money for you)

1 receipt from something you bought but didn’t need (I had a few in the bottom of my purse, but if you can’t find any, you could even print out your bank statement, cut out a transaction of something you didn’t need, & wrap it in that)

1 black ribbon

Incantation;

“My need to recklessly spend money is tightly bound

And I bury those urges deep into the ground.

I want and am able to save money.

I am financially responsible so my future can be comfy.

This is my will, so mote it be.”

Directions;

As you say the incantation, wrap the crystal in the receipt and then bind it together with the black ribbon. When finished, circle it around the flame of the candle counter clockwise before blowing it out. Then bury it outside so you will never see it again.

Happy casting! 🌙✨

🌿☘The Element of EARTH In Rootwork☘🌿

Excerpt from: “ROOTWORK: Using the Folk Magic of Black America for Love, Money and Success” by Tayannah Lee McQuillar

The Earth is a living, breathing entity and like any other living thing, it absorbs and gives off energy. This is the fundamental reason why Rootworkers collect earth from various locations.

It is believed that using certain kinds of earth “grounds” a spell. I must remind you that if you take a handful of earth, you should leave an offering out of respect. Notice that I didn’t use the term “dirt,” as it has a negative connotation. Many people in African-based traditions use earth from certain places as an enhancer. The most common use of earth is in a mojo bag. The earth is placed in a small bag with other ingredients and the bag is worn against the skin.

LOCATION OF EARTH & PURPOSE

🌟Bank:

For money and success, use the earth surrounding a bank. If possible, go to a popular bank and collect it.

🌿Cemetery:

To stimulate psychic ability or to strengthen communication with the dead.

🌟Church:

For spiritual protection and to ward against evil spirits.

🌿Courthouse:

For success in legal matters.

🌟Garden:

For love spells, use earth from a beautiful garden.

🌿Hospital:

To cure the sick or ailing.

🌟Jail:

To keep the police away, when someone is having trouble with the law.

🌿Marketplace:

For money and employment spells, use earth surrounding a busy marketplace.

🌟Mountain:

To increase psychic abilities and clarity. If possible, use the earth from the top of a high mountain.

🌿Police station:

For protection from enemies. Do not use if you are involved in any illegal activity.

Eliminate Jealousy Spell

Wear black gemstones, particularly black tourmaline, to counteract personal and professional jealousy. However, it is crucial that you don’t explain why you’re wearing them.

Reblog and you’ll find money soon!

[nudiemuse]

Yes.

Also weird I reblobbed the other money one last night and a freelance check I invoiced for a month ago came in.

[timaeustestifieds]

reblobbed

[justthefangirl]

seriously have nothing to lose

[sherlysthougths]

Did it once might as well let it stack. At least I’m not buying loto tickets

[imsuchacapricorn]

You guys, I reblogged this 2 days ago out of desperation. Today I was looking through my old wallet for coins to go to the vending machine because that’s all I can fucking afford. I haven’t touched this thing since July/ August. When I found a disappointing 15 cents in the coin pocket I went to the billfold to see if any coins were in there. That’s when I saw them. 5 crisp bills amounting to $22. I literally screamed and danced around my room out of joy before remembering that I’d reblogged this post.

Tl;dr - This post is fucking magical and actually worked for me.

[sxvsxde-blog]

I’m broke as fuck. Money gods pls send me like 100k.

[muscovado-sugar]

I never reblog these, let’s give it a shot. BIG MONEY, BIG MONEY

[niuniente]

I reblogged this last week and withing an hour I got a client after a month of silence! Literally gave me money to eat for the rest of the month.

[doveclove]

Crazy enough but my mom randomly gave me 200 dollars after I reblogged one of these the other day…

[districtdollface-deactivated201]

Amen

[deenadolly-deactivated20150921]

Reblobbed.

[breelandwalker]

I have a theory that these posts actually gather energy from the wishes of people who reblog them and that’s why they work. Plus, yanno, they get passed around by witches…a lot. :)

[lux-obscura]

Financials are getting a little rocky here (new job was a pay cut and was supposed to be an hours increase but ended up being more of a cut/lateral move) and I’m still trying to figure out how to downgrade my spending (seriously how can I cancel some of my cable services and end up paying MORE than before fucking packages fucking Verizon…) so in the meantime I could really go for a cash infusion until I get myself sorted.

[lux-obscura]

Ok this is such a ridiculous coincidence but I JUST reblogged this this morning and between then and now my tax refund hit my account 3 days early. Draw your own conclusions.

[complexsugar-deactivated2016101]

Forever reblogging lol

[complexsugar-deactivated2016101]

Trying to go home rich, 3 more days!!!

[nilla-wafer42-blog]

No joke, I reblogged and less than 3 hours later, without asking, daddy transferred $500 into my account and I got a $1500 check.

[bigbruthag]

I’m not broke but you can never have tooooo much lol. This shit don’t work I’m spamming all y'all lol
