What I Burn When I Need Help

Burning herbs can be more than just cleansing. It can help banish, invoke, encourage, invite, and much more. A lot of times, when I feel like I'm struggling with a specific issue (with myself or with what is around me), I find myself drawn to burning single herbs to help me get back into the headspace I need to be.

Cinnamon: When I feel like I'm falling behind in my shadow work, I burn a bit of a stick of cinnamon to help encourage healing and mindfulness.

Dried Apple Peel: Apples are symbols of friendship and love. When I feel particularly down on myself or lonely, burning apple peels can help invoke an increased sense of patience towards myself.

Pine Needles: Burning pine needles welcomes new beginnings and fresh starts. Super helpful for things like breakups, graduation, and repelling negativity.

Rice: A bit tricky to burn! I tend to hold two or three in tweezers ad just roast the ends for a moment or two and waft that little bit of smoke around my space. Burnt rice invites financial gain, and protects you from negative energies.

Rose Petals: Rose petals invoke soft, genuine feelings of love and appreciation.

Rose Thorns: On the other hand, burning rose thorns protects you from people who have terms for their love, and protects you from people who lie about their affections for you.

Rosemary: This herb encourages good health, and is helpful in strengthening memory when burnt. It's also effective as a shower/bath additive!

Tangerine Peel: I use tangerine peels because that's what I have, but orange peels work the same! Burning these citrus peels invites more energy into your space, and can be great for sleepy mornings and early morning college classes.

As always, practice in a cleansed environment and do your research! There are many, many things that can be burnt for great effects. Blessed Be! <3

Vinegar Spells

Infused vinegars are an easy way to perform spells, and they work especially well for cleansing, protection, and banishing. Infused vinegar is how I put protective wards on my windows. The most basic way of using an infused vinegar is to clean, but depending on what you’re doing there might be some variations. Give these combinations a try! (All are made with white vinegar)

Cleansing: Vinegar, citrus peels (lemon, lime, orange, etc.), rosemary, bay

Protecting: Cinnamon, cloves, anise, bay

Banishing: Salt*, culinary sage, rosemary, pine needles, horehound, fennel

Put the vinegar and herbs into a sealable jar, let them infuse for at least a week (longer is better), then get to work!

Something I find helpful for banishing is to go outside and kind of aggressively sprinkle the vinegar away from yourself while you recite your spell. If what you’re trying to banish is a person, the best way I have found is to keep a little bottle with you and, when they walk past you (outside), sprinkle the vinegar behind them, over where they walked. 

*Only use salt if you aren’t using the vinegar to clean an object. Salt is good if the vinegar is being sprinkled outside somewhere.

Also, do NOT put crystals into the vinegar. It will destroy them. Remember Cleopatra and the pearl?

WITCH TIP #1

Need to charge your crystals but don’t know if the ones you have can be put in the sun?

Put them in a bowl of salt!!

This acts as a double point system, purifying/cleansing your crystal, as well as giving it a little boost of energy!
