I don’t know which current pagan needs to hear this but your life doesn’t have to revolve around your religion. Every act of self care doesn’t have to be devotional, every meal you make doesn’t have to lose a portion to sacrifice.

You’re allowed to be casually religious, a “Yule Pagan” if you want to steal “Christmas Christian” from the Jesus club. You’re allowed to dedicate a day or two to worship and just stare at the sky or ground and mutter the rest of the week.

Just because the world sees your religion as invalid doesn’t mean you have to go into overdrive and let it consume every aspect of your life.

Actual everyday "witchy" habits

I've seen some lists around the website, but they're too fancy for me. Here are things I actually do everyday.

🌱First thing, open all the blinds for the plants.

☕Put cinnamon in my coffee filter (not in the cup itself, it blends better this way).

📿Wear 2 charms currently. One for general soothing & protection, the second to find a new job.

🃏Bring some magical item with me, like cards, potion, crystals, herbs, book. Even if I don't use it, it keeps my mind at a better place.

🌳Take the path with the most trees. I try to take the path that will provide me with more nature & sunshine, to & from work.

📜Try to learn one thing. Either I scroll witchy media or read a page or two. It's usually one small new fact.

📔Easy journaling. Journal entries of only a few lines, multiple times a day. One thought, one entry.

No pressure. Also drink water 🥤

Hi there. After doing my signature monkey leap I appear to have landed myself in the backrooms. Have you by any chance called your father? He loves you. He fucking loves you. We are both going to die. Enjoy the burger I you in the mail?

[obscenegrimoire]

Hi, guys! I just began this online grimoire, and I figured I'd make my first post.

Let's talk about Servitors.

What is a "Servitor"? A Servitor, in terms of spell work/witchcraft is a servant that was created by you. Think of it as similar to a computer program, or as a type of spirit. It's apart of you, as it's created by your mind. It's your intentions, your needs that it's serving. You're the one that brought it to life, and you're the one that keeps it alive. It relies on your energy to thrive, and function at it's fullest capabilities. Their sole purpose is to fulfill the goal that you give it, whatever it may be. I, personally, use mine for protection and revenge. You may also create them with the goal of bringing you good luck, or to bring you good health. If there's something you want attracted to your life, there's a Servitor you can make.

How would you create a Servitor?

I would like to stress, you are binding yourself to a spirit you created. This includes a contract, that you will need to be as specific as possible in. If there's something too broad for interpretation, there's an opportunity for a misunderstanding. You will also be creating and charging a sigil for this entity. I will be giving the basics, as well as adding parts that I've found helped with the creation. I will make sure to note that they are my add-ons.

What you need:

• Item of choice

• Lined paper(s)/pen or pencil - especially ones of the color that matches the intent.

• Four white candles

• Optional: Crystals, herbs, or anything you would like to use for a boost.

Before you begin anything, you need to find an item you want to use as a sort of "home" for this creation. It needs something to latch onto. As long as it's something you interact with frequently, it can be something you take everywhere, or keep at home. This can mean crystals, jewelery, I like to use stuffed animals since I cuddle them, toys if you would like to protect your children, etc. You must have it be something you frequently interact with, otherwise it will not stay "alive".

Once you have the item, and it's goal in mind, take some time, get creative and find a name for the entity. Once you have, drink a tea of choice, listen to appropriate music, this is the time to be creative and to develop the entity and contract. Take time to imagine how the entire will appear, what it's energy will feel like. Picture it standing beside you as you begin to write the contract. Be as specific as you can, include it's goals, the expectations, and rules. Describe it's appearance, and energy in the contract. Include how you plan to feed it, and keep it "alive". They need to be fed energy of sorts, or else they will "die". Include any details you feel necessary, don't leave anything out. Include a phrase to bring it's attention. At the very end, remember to include a killswitch phrase. This is only to be used when you no longer want the entity "alive" anymore. This happens if things as simple as it has completed the goal, or as complicated as something went wrong/it backfired has happened.

Optional: You may also provide the Servitor a rune, a planet, or any moon cycle correspondents that helps provide them with a boost of energy.

You will need to now create a sigil based on the name of the entity. If you need help with creating a sigil, I will happily provide sources! I like to place their sigil on the contract, and I also like to find a way to attach the sigil to the item. I also burn their sigil as I do the ritual, along with having a seperate paper with their sigil written on it for documentation. This is my way to keep a form of their presence attached to necessary parts. As I mentioned, I use stuffed animals, so I would support going as far as making two copies of the contract and sigil. One for keepsake, and sew the other inside of the item, if possible.

Once you have completed those steps, cleanse your workspace. You may do this however you wish, that process varies from everyone. Next, take the four white candles you have. Place one in each direction (North, East, South, West) as far apart as necessary. Place the item you're attaching it to, in the middle of the candles. Light them clockwise, as you set the mood/intention. Sit down next to the candles, and relax. Close your eyes, meditate as you imagine what the Servitor looks like. Focus on it, until you can feel it's presence surrounding you. I often attempt to touch the Servitor in the image. Once you've made that connection, slowly open your eyes and calmly state it's name. Begin reading off the contract out loud, as clearly as you can. Once you have finished, sign off and take in it's energy around you.

Put out the candles however you wish, put your items away, and place the Servitor where you wish!

If you ever feel like the Servitor has grown too weak, you may repeat this process, but use the already created contract and entity in mind. Think of it as a regroup.

I hope this has captured the attention of any curious person. Anyone needing to know if you can do this as a beginner: If you feel comfortable doing so, then go for it. Any questions and concerns are welcomed! Give me opinions on my first post!

Self-care & connecting with nature deities during the wintertime

Is it still possible to connect with harvest and nature deities such as Freyr during the cold season?

Long answer short, yes. Obviously, absolutely. But you all saw that answer coming, right? So I’m here to give you some ideas, as the person who’s favorite season is winter and who made it their mission to help everybody like winter just a little more. And since I feel especially close to Yngvi-Freyr when it comes to the Gods, I will use him as an example throughout this post, though a lot of the following could apply to most nature deities.

Let us first examine a common misconception before we get to the bottom of this topic: the fields don’t die when the sun sets on the 31st of October. The earth still lives under thick layers of snow. The process of dormancy is absolutely crucial to the cycles of nature. And if, like me, you find Freyr to be a sort of guardian of these cycles, then you’ll know he manifests himself in so many ways, even where you might not think to look.

Have you heard about the holly and ivy tradition? It was common during the European Medieval times to decorate houses and halls using holly and ivy, because they were the two plants with leaves that stayed green, even in the dark and cold of winter. This type of practice is often referred to as "bringing the outside in", and it's something I'm quite fond of. I've no doubt it could be a great help if you're the type to feel depressed during the winter time. It's a way to remind oneself of how everpresent nature actually is. Lots of greenery remains despite the snow! And to ackowledge this fact and to work with it is such a great way to connect with nature Gods in general! It goes to show that you appreciate their blessings all year round, not just during spring and summer. While it's true that in many cases, the presence of deities such as Freyr may feel somehow "dimmed" during the winter time, I assure you, they don't disappear once the first snow falls! On the contrary, they are every bit as present and active as when spring comes! They simply manifest themselves in a different manner.

When winter comes, I love to work with evergreen spirits. I incorporate spruce, fir and cedar into my practice and in my offerings. I won't go into too much detail for this topic however, because I've written posts that pertained to it in the past (namely, this post on tree work and this one on land spirits). Since I don't have easy access to holly or ivy, I make due with evergreen! Not with any actual branches, except when I'm lucky enough to find some that were torn away by the wind. But rather, using representations of it. In the same manner, and in the spirit of "bringing the outside in", it's also possible to decorate using representations of the sun! Harvest deities such as Freyr are often associated with it due to its crucial role in the cycles of plant growth. Candles also make for great solar symbols, and to place them around the home is like lighting a handful of little suns to bring much needed light and warmth inside. What's more, lighting candles on the winter solstice night is a widespread practice among pagans today! It serves to symbolize the return of the sun, as the days start to grow longer again. Until then however, it can be soothing for one to light a candle every morning before school or work, and to call upon any harvest, nature or solar deity of their choice to ask for strength and motivation throught the day. Even when it's difficult for us to feel their presence, they always hear us.

Now, how to actually feel more connected to nature? Oftentimes, connecting with nature and connecting with Yngvi-Freyr are one and the same. And on a more personal note, a lot of the advice I received from him pertained exactly to that: I believe he's often urged me to go spend more time in nature when I am going through rough patches. I know the cold and the cloudy weather can make it depressing for a lot of people to go out. My advice on this is to take it step by step: no need to go on long, four-hour long hikes right away! After all,there is already much beauty to be seen close to home. And I can't put enough emphasis on that: dress warmly! Also, as a tool for motivation, prepare a treat for yourself to enjoy after you've gone out. Part of what makes me enjoy winter so much is the thought of the warmth and light which await inside after I’ve gone out into the cold. The home is as sacred as the outside world! So why not buy, or prepare a batch of cookies, a cup of hot chocolate or a spicy dinner! It's something I love to do as a way to motivate myself to go out more often. And I like to offer part of these to local land spirits and to the Vanir, to show my appreciation for the beauty of this season. Just as an aside, I find snow water to be a great such offering as well!

I know that I’m not revolutionizing the pagan scene with this post, as there’s only so many ways to connect with nature during winter. I think it’s important to keep in mind that the snow, rain and cold that this season brings is just as much part of nature as the greens and lively colors of spring and summer. For this reason, they are just as much a part of nature deities and what they represent. Deities have so many facets and depth, and it can be so fulfilling to explore these different aspects, and the way we perceive them. While it’s true that spiritually speaking, it often feels to us heathens as if Skaði is somehow “taking” Freyr’s place in the order of things for the time being— much like the Holly King takes the Oak King’s place in Celtic folklore. This doesn’t make it so he disappears! In my experience, he presides over the cycle of seasons as a whole, and he is every bit as present for his followers as he is during the winter. I can connect with Skaði during the summer in a similar manner. And I’m sure that the same can be said for so many other harvest deities.

○o■Pets in Magic■o○

There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life: music and cats. -Albert Schweitzer

Animals are a part of our lives and we love them dearly. Just as they are a part of our lives, they can also be a part of our practice.

Pet Proofing Your Workings:

If you want to incorporate your animals into your craft it is important to double check that things that are not harmful to humans are also not harmful to animals. Certain plants, incense, and other aspects of working that are either harmless or present negligible risk to humans are potentially very harmful to our pets. Your pet doesn’t need to meet their ancestors, don’t smoke out the house if your furry loved ones are home.

Pet Familiars: Not to be confused with spirit familiars, pet familiars are pets that you have specifically incorporated into your magic.  This is a physical animal that you have invited to be a part of your working. Some practitioners believe animals have a specific sensitivity to energy and other magics. In this way, a pet familiar acts as a second set of eyes in the spiritual world.

What Kinds of Animals Can Be Familiars:

Any domesticated animal can be a familiar and I imagine even some wild caught or befriended animals have been considered familiars across the ages. However, how you incorporate your animal into your practice is going to change based on what this animal is.  A bird may be more inclined to do direct communication than a dog for example.  A lizard is not so easily going to knock something off a counter because it needs to be cleansed like a cat might. Any animal companion can be a familiar, assuming the animal is okay with this, but how this manifests will be different from animal to animal.

Pets in a Working:

The ways people incorporate their pets into their workings are as numerous as there are ways to love an animal. Commonly they will allow their pets to do things like pick tarot cards for them from a set, pick which crystal they should use, or simply have them sit and participate in rituals with them as a partner and equal in their working.

Others incorporate them as a companion who simply enjoys being involved in a part of their lives as pets tend to do.

Speaking Their Language:

Learning to understand what your pet is communicating with you, especially if you want to have them in a working, can bring you closer to your furry friends. There are numerous guides that help us understand how animals communicate in ways that humans do not, and even certain pets will communicate in way specific to them. While a lizard might not be opening its mouth because it’s smiling, it may display happiness and contentment in other ways. Identifying these can help you incorporate your pet into your practice and help be mindful of their needs while you are engaging with them in both magic and every day life.

Summoning Familiars

Before we begin, a disclaimer, familiars must be granted by spirits or deities. You cannot summon a familiar all on your own. The information I am providing is how to get into contact/start using a familiar, not create one. The only exceptions to this are if you join a coven or the likes and gain access to a group familiar, or if you inherit one from an active line of familial (by blood) witches. Your pet is typically NOT a familiar, unless the pet has been spiritually sent to you after you asked (ex. you ask a spirit and they say yes and suddenly the same stray cat comes by repeatedly and takes interest in your witchcraft work). Also when I say “takes interest” I mean sleeps on your altar, likes to be on or near you while you work, likes to watch your work, is overly vocal when you begin to work, or even picks up a bottle or ingredient and adds or takes it from your spell.

(image by https://twitter.com/SqueakyArt)

Typically Familiars will show themselves to you in one way or another, whether it be in dreams, visions coming from heavy meditations, or even in real life. But sometimes (say, if you have a cat and so you see cats and cat related things very often) it’s hard to tell if an animal is your familiar or if it’s something else like a sign from a deity or spirit guide or just coincidence. Therefore, a good way to know is by summoning your familiar in one way or another, and here I will give you a couple ways to do this.

Getting Spiritual Aid

You can also get help from spirits and deities to summon your familiar. DISCLAIMER 2; if you ask for a familiar, the spirit can say no and will not hesitate to do so if they don’t think you’re ready or it’s time or what have you. A familiar is a privilege to be granted by the spirit, not the other way around.

Mantras

Mantras are a very helpful way to find a familiar, and it’s fairly straight forward too. 

“Manifestum spiritus animalis”; this is a quite literal and direct way to call upon a familiar, as it is Latin for “Manifest animal spirit”. If repeated in a state of meditation involving the focus of your magickal energies, imagine the words and ideas behind the words forming a figure before you, and let it shape what it needs to. As much as you can help it, try your best not to be biased or else it may not work and you may not see the correct animal. From here you have a choice. you can manifest it into an astral body then stop it there, or you can manifest it into an astral body, then go further and manifest it into a physical body. The best way to do this is by repeating the mantra for ~10 minutes daily on an empty stomach. I would recommend doing it in the morning to achieve this. Don’t forget, you must have emotional engagement in the manifestation to get it to work.

You can also bind an animal of your choice as your familiar, given it has provided some kind of interest in your magick(consent/willingness) and the process has been approved/given by a spirit. This is done by this mantra: “You, will become my familiar, you are a strong, brave and smart (Type of animal, Cat, dog, bird ) Your name will be, (Name, not it’s actual name. Make a stage name, for the magical world, don’t call it by it’s magical name when humans can overhear.) Once called, (Animal’s Real name) now (Animal’s Magical name) in Magic(k) world. I summon you as my familiar.“ 

Visualization Spells

There is a bit of a technique to it, but there is a spell you can do that involves pouring your magickal energy into a process of manifestation. This is a ritual so it does involve ritualistic items like a ritual knife or other ceremonial item like a besom. The ritual goes like this:

Light a candle in a dark and quiet room

Use a magical wand or a dagger to draw an inverted pentagram in the air above the candle

Next, use the same ritual item to draw the shape of the animal spirit you wish to summon

Now, close your eyes and point the ritual item at the candle flame. Visualize the familiar manifesting in reality the candle flame as you pour your energy through the wand/dagger into the flame.

New Year Spell #8 - Creativity & Hobby Sigil Spell

Hello loves! Unfortunately, this didn't post yesterday but here is the next installment in the spell series. I wanted to do something revolving around our hobbies, passions, and to bring inspiration for creative expression for the year. You'll be making your own sigil as it will have your intentions within it, to boost it's effectiveness.

What you'll need:

• A stone, piece of wood, or something you can either etch or draw a sigil or bindrune onto (examples below the spell)

• A sharpie or carving tool

• Paper and pen for creating the sigil

1) Start by creating your sigil on pen and paper. Use whichever format you prefer, whether with traditional methods or with modern techniques that don't follow any specific rules. Flow with it and you will find it, if you feel it isn't right after a couple of tries. If you're really feeling stuck, you may feel inclined to search up some runes for inspiration but stick to making one.

2) Whether you decide to draw or etch this onto your object is up to you and your comfort level with tools. Regardless, this is your next step. Have plenty of focus & concentration when doing this, visualizing your inspiration becoming unlimited and your motivation increasing.

3) When you are done etching it, activate the sigil via your preferred method.

4) Sit with your item after and visualize how it will empower you. Incantation:

"As I hold you,

I ask for you to inspire me to reach above and beyond my wildest dreams,

To try new concepts and things that will reawaken the source of my creations,

To find inspiration in the smallest things in life.

I ask for you to give me motivation whenever I create or pursue my hobbies,

To aid me in not burning out from the passionate flames I hold within,

And to help me keep going throughout the year so I do not give up.

So mote it be."

That is all for this spell! Let your creativity roam. You could turn this into a million different projects that you feel will represent you best. For example, if you play guitar, utilize this sigil on a guitar pick. If you paint, placed it onto your palette. If you like to cook, carved into a wooden spoon. If hiking is a hobby of yours, under the sole of your best boots. If staying indoors reading is what you enjoy, make a bookmark with it. The list goes on, but you can see where I'm going with it! Make it personal. When you feel you need a boost, recite the incantation again.

The link to this spell series will be left here, if you are looking for other ideas.

All About: House Spirits

Well, it's about time I brought them up once again, in their own post. This guide may be on the lengthy side, but it's here to explain what they are and how to begin working with them.

What the hell is a house spirit?

House spirits come from all different cultures and folklore. Known as, you guessed it, guardians of the home. They protect the house itself, the land around it (they get along with the land spirit(s) most of the time), and they also protect the family if treated right. A home certainly doesn't feel like one without these presiding spirits helping. In fact it gives the home a life of it's own.

What do they look like? Are there types?

Across many cultures, there are these spirits and the folklore varies for each. In my tribe, we consider them to usually be little dwarves or goblins that must be appeased, otherwise they will cause bad luck or even resort to curses. Regular offerings are required. Then there are the land spirits, which is a whole other topic. If given regular offerings and respect, we believe that they will not only generate good luck and events for us, but protect us and help with our daily lives. For the witches of the tribe, they will often assist in rituals and spells. That all being said, this has carried over into my personal beliefs. Many cultures describe house spirits assisting with the same things and if they are displeased, bad occurrences following. As far as looks go, it depends on the folklore surrounding your area and your cultural background(s). You may believe in one or two types or an entire spectrum of house spirits from the realm of the fair folk. You could have one house spirit or twelve. It's entirely up to your home. In some cultures, there are door spirits (yes, that guard the doors) and ones that work in the kitchen, among others for different functions of the home.

Okay so, I live in an apartment building. Can I still work with them?

Yes. When I used to live in apartments, I found it was an either/or situation regarding how many were there. Some buildings have only a few that roam around, sometimes only one that protects the entire building, or there may be multiple hanging out in one apartment. Most complexes have multiple however. And then for the lucky buildings that have one for each apartment...those are nice. I've included a short offering ritual at the end of this post, which you can use to ask questions about whatever you wish to know, including how many there are in the building.

What kind of offerings do they like?

Milk, honey, bread, and herbs are a safe bet. They especially like bread baked by you, as they see it as a labor of love and that your energy is in there. Taking time to tend to the garden and taking care of your property & home in general are things they like to see. Don't leave the house a huge mess, as many prefer a tidy atmosphere. Not an offering per say, but important to mention nonetheless.

What should I put on their altar?

I keep my altar for them in the kitchen, as it is in a place that is undisturbed and can't be torn up by my land shark (aka, my dog). I also feel that most of the house spirits I have worked with in my life enjoy hanging out in this area of the home. They seem to like assisting in kitchen magic and cooking in general and the warmth of the stove. You may also want to include a small area near the front door if you believe that there are separate spirits for there. I'd recommend a shelf, as it won't take up as much space in the entryway.

Okay, back on track. Plants (if the space gets enough light), a cauldron, candles, offering bowls, a chalice, glass, or mug of some sort. A special spoon to stir the drinks or potions with. Decorative pieces from nature. Things you craft by hand.

How can I begin working with them?

Anytime, in reality. However, you do have to develop an actual relationship with them. This can take time and the more you speak to them, give offerings, and invite them in as you cook or clean, the more they will be willing to help with your spellwork, wards, and healing. Try the introduction ritual I've included. See what happens. Document it. Try again another time the following week. And just...keep going. Make sure that they know you haven't forgotten about them by leaving a small nightly glass of milk out before you head to bed. It doesn't have to be filled to the rim (hey, cost of living is ridiculous right now). It can be a splash with a squirt of honey added. Or a sprinkle of herbs on their bowl. Or maybe a small helping of what you whipped up for dinner. Point is to show them that you acknowledge and respect their presence. That will be the biggest component. Do the ritual once a week until you start seeing signs of contact. Once you do, make your own ritual with them. Incorporate them into your daily life. Ask them to help with blessing your cooking. Ask them to make sure your wards are in tact. Ask the door spirit to purify the energy of anyone that walks in & make bad people resist coming by. Start seeing if they'd like to sit in on a ritual, if you feel comfortable with that idea. Ask for a blessing when you clean the house & to assist you in removing all the bad energy.

Brief introductory ritual

To introduce yourself to your house spirits, I recommend sitting in your kitchen. If you consider your hearth to be the living room, you can choose to do it there. Make sure to bring offerings with that you feel will be applicable. Freshly baked bread (from your own hands) and some milk with honey stirred in would make a wonderful first treat. I usually introduce myself in a new home by bringing these treats to the location of choice, and start by speaking my intention aloud which goes something like:

"Spirits of the home,

Guardians and Protectors of this dwelling,

Please come sit with me and enjoy these offerings.

I wish to have a working relationship where we can honor, respect, and help each other."

I usually spend about ten-twenty minutes meditating after this is spoken aloud. Sometimes you will feel a strong presence. This is the time I take to set up my kitchen altar as well. If there is a place that I am able to create a mini-altar by the front door, I do so there for the door spirits. The land spirits get their own little thing out in the backyard. I've found in the many places I've lived, they almost always work together and some house spirits spend quite some time out there too!

From here on out, you'll develop your relationship with regular offerings and take it from there!

A magical cauldron everyone part takes in the cooking to get a magical outcome. Best done on a Sabbath before any of the festivities 

What you’ll need :

A protein or multiple proteins(Beef is best but any stewing protein will work)

A big pot for stewing said meat.

A coven/ group of witches(that you trust)

Herbs and or spices or alcohol(everyone brings their own herbs of their choice)

Stewing materials(butter/oil, stock, dumpling(optional),…etc)

Okay so the idea here is the each person is contributing a herb for cooking within the pot, depending on the size of the coven you may need a little or a lot of herb per person. There are two methods of making this work.

First Method: Each person has a unique goal/s, and the herb/spice is a correspondent of said goal. When tossing in your spice/herb/alcohol , you put your magick into, thus charging the entire pot, thus charging everyone’s goals.

Second Method: The overall coven has a specific goal in mind, like they all want love, or all want to connect to the spirits or whatever. So each person brings a spice/herb/alcohol that speaks to them about that goal. Then just like before charge the spice/herb and toss it into the pot. Thus charging it.

The idea here is to have a variety of herbs, and spices, this is to bring not only a magical diversity of correspondences but flavors as well. This emphasizes the overall connection to the group members, because each herb/spice/alcohol is hand selected by each member you are connecting to each other and to their magickal praxis Once everyone has places their ingredient inside the cauldron you can say some kind of chant or spell to make emphasis the magicks. A person who knows how to cook stew is highly recommended
