Overheard in the witchy section of the bookstore: "You don't have to be a pigeon to do witchcraft."
"Did you say pigeon?"
"Yeah. P-A-G-A-N. Pigeon. When you worship Odin and Zeus and stuff. I mean you can be a pigeon witch but you don't have to worship Zeus."
My brain:
Witch tip:
Winter season is upon us, which means that these types of candle holders in the shape of a tiny house will be sold as Christmas decoration again. These are amazing as home wards, to bring warmth and joy to the home, and for protection spells!
- Paint protective symbols on them or in them - charge the tealight you put in there with protection magic or magic for a happy home - choose tealights (or make them) with scents that you associate with protection or cozyness/happiness - lay a wreath around it as a symbol of your protective ward, for example a small wreath made of rosemary, or a plain metal (iron) one - you could even lay a circle of salt around it - charge the candle to become your hearth, the basis of all magics to be worked for the home - also good for working with hearth deities such as Hestia - also can be used as a house for a servitor created to protect the home - paint it in happy colours to attract joy and happiness to your home - instead of a candle, fill it with herbs, crystals, and other symbols to attract magic into your home (sort of like an open spelljar or an altar) - use it as a focus when working with the "spirit" or "soul" of your home - charge it specifically to eliminate strife and negativity within the home during the holidays
The possibilities are endless!
I saw a bunch of these at a Goodwill recently! Various shapes and sizes, too. I almost got one but I just don't have a place to put it.
But yeah, FYI it might be a good time to find one used!
Oh absolutely! Our goodwill also has the Xmas market up again, so that is a good tip!

I realized today that I have a coat I wear nearly every day, and it made me think of the Once Upon A Time episode explaining Emma’s red jacket and how she feels like it’s her “armor”. Why not infuse a coat with feelings of protection and confidence? I see spells inspired by pop culture all the time and I’m not sure if this has been done already, but here we go.
You’ll need:
Your favorite jacket
Crystals with connotations to protection (I am using obsidian, labradorite, and amethyst).
You can also use crystals for infusing the coat with other purposes, such as calming stones (I am using rose quartz).
Clear quartz
Satchet bag
Sage
Lavender
Tea light candle
Paper clip or carving tool
Lighter
Safety water
Here’s what to do:
Start with your tea light, lavender, sage, lighter, and carving tool. Into the candle, carve your intentions. In this case, simply the word ARMOR.
Light the candle and keep it in a space free of any hazards. Using the tiniest pinches of lavender and sage, sprinkle it into the candle (not directly into the flame). Make sure you have a cup of water nearby for fire safety purposes!
If you use incantation, feel free to recite whatever comes to mind. In this case I used “Protection is needed, protection is pleaded. This is my will, this is my way, so mote it be.” Really whatever you want is fine.
The reason to use a tealight and not any other size of candle is to let it burn completely out in one try. If you can’t, that’s fine, but keep it going while you set up your coat.
Put more sage and lavender into the satchet bag, placing it inside a pocket or inside the coat if it doesn’t have one.
Lay the coat on a flat surface (away from the flame!!!) and arrange your stones around it in a way that resonates with you.
If you have access to a moon-facing window, lay it out overnight with the quartz nearest the window to draw down feelings of comfort and safety you might feel when moongazing. If that is not an option, place the quartz in the middle of the coat to really drawn in the protection and calmness of the other stones you have used.
Let this sit out overnight (if using the moon) or until the candle has burned out.

ok my little witchies
imma teach you the most helpful tool for herbs and stones and shit
you got to pinecone.pub
you type in a word from the list of intents, like protection, love, whatever
boom, list of many herbs and stones and shit you can use in the spell
you can even build spells, name them and save them
go forth and bookmark that shit
I'm in a Place right now so I want to share.
I haven't been Doing This for a terribly long time (coming up on nine years), but that's long enough for some basic pattern recognition.
I would love to impress upon all you who care for input: This isn't Linear, it never will be, and you can't make it be. So stahp trying.
If you are dry land, magic and spirits come upon you and flow away like the swollen river. If you are an oak tree, your fire rises up and falls away like leaves on a tree. If you are water, you are pushed and pulled to the otherworld as if held by the moon.
It doesn't matter if your path is nature-centric. This isn't about worshiping the earth.
The tree grows taller, year by year. The roots grow deeper, year by year. But every year the leaves fall. Every year the dry comes, then the wet. Progress doesn't mean a full crown of leaves at any season. Progress doesn't mean having a high tide whenever it suits your whims.
Let it go, let it be, and learn your own seasons.
have more reverence when talking about graveyards and resting places. You may view them as tools to enhance your craft, but that's not what they are to others. Be respectful and understanding of that.
To all my fellow witches, losing interest in your craft due to depression doesn't make you a bad witch. You are not a bad witch if mental disorders keep you from practicing daily. Practicing daily isn't even an official rule or requirement. So tell your anxious brain to calm down, it is doing fine. You are doing fine. You are not worse than other witches if you feel an aversion to it bc depression is making you hate what you like.
An Easy Spell for Healing and Moving Forward
Disclaimer: If you are healing from serious trauma, please use this spell only as a supplemental tool for professional treatment. If you are on any sort of medication, do not use this spell as a replacement.
What You Will Need:
An Apple (for cleansing away negativity)
A Knife
A Sigil in Mind for Healing
Directions:
Use your knife to carve your sigil into the surface of the apple. I used one of my own: x
Once you have carved your sigil into the apple, begin to eat the apple. As you eat, think of the thing that has hurt you that you want to move past. Focus on how moving forward will improve your life.
As you chew the apple, imagine you are crushing that thing that is bothering you. When you swallow, know that you are taking in the healing properties of both the apple and the sigil.
Don't rush it! Take your time and try to eat as close to the core as possible before throwing the apple (and that thing holding you back from healing) away.

*grabs you roughly* IT'S OKAY TO BUY LAB GROWN CRYSTALS, IN FACT IT IS BETTER BECAUSE THEY AREN'T BEING HARVESTED BY UNETHICAL LABOR. *starts to shake you* THEY ARE THE SAME THING AS THE NATURAL CRYSTALS! THEY ARE STILL SACRED AND THEY ARE GOOD BEANS! PLEASE STILL BUY THEM!
you’re telling me a labrador grew these crystals?
But is it ethically sourced if it’s puppy labour? Or are we supporting a Labrador’s small business
It is NOT puppy labor. This is from a small, family run Labrador's business.
Offering: Leaf Envelopes
Recently I saw a very cute post about using leaf envelopes as a vessel for offerings and prayer. So in honor of Lughnasadh, I decided to try a few!
I started with large leaves (elephant ear) cut into 10cm x 10cm squares, and folded two corners inward like so:
Then fold the bottom corner up as well, and glue in place.
For one I made it to help with my Mental Health.
Inside: Rosemary (healing)
Ginger (success)
Sage (wisdom)
Blessed Thistle (purification)
ᛇ
(stability)
ᛞ
(clarity)
This was charged with Abalone, Bloodstone and pink, blue and white candles.
Another I made for devotion to Arianrhod.
Inside: Lavendar (healing)
Sage (prosperity)
Bay leaf (protection)
Rose Petals (love, luck)
ᛒ
(rebirth)
ᛉ
(growth)
This was charged with Moonstone, Selenite, Smoky Quartz and purple and white candles.
Last step is to fold down the top corner, and seal with wax. To add to the wax I used a seed on silver wax for Arianrhod and part of a pinecone on blue wax for Mental Health.
These are very customizable and pretty easy to put together! I love the way they look on my altar, and I have two more planned that I'll add when I make them.
Advice for the Beginner: Start with the herbs you know
On the surface this may seem like an obvious piece of advice, but I think it’s one that’s maybe not emphasized as much as it could be. Venturing into witchcraft circles introduces you to all kinds of new ideas, and some of those ideas are directly related to interesting new plants that people haven’t heard of before, and that can lead to the kind of impulse buying that a lot of more experienced practitioners advise against. It’s not just the crystals and alter statues and fancy tools that can lead to materialistic spiritualism, it’s rare herbs as well. Frankly any material item that’s mentioned in various spellbooks can lead to this. Spellbooks themselves can lead to this. Which is circling around back to my point of starting with what you already know, especially before you buy anything.
We’ve all seen the posts about buying herbs in the grocery store, but what those posts may or may not make clear is that what’s at the grocery store, and even what’s already in one’s pantry can be full of magical possibilities.
And when I say start with the herbs you know, I don’t just mean start with the herbs you’ve heard of before. I mean start with the herbs you use on a regular basis. If most of what you use is salt and black pepper, start with those. If you use things like garlic and parsley in your cooking, start with those. If you like cumin, ginger, cayenne pepper, chili powder, etc. etc. etc., start with those herbs. If you tend to use things like taco seasoning or Italian seasoning, look at the ingredients list to find out what herbs are in it, and start with those. Think about the teas you drink and find out what herbs are in those. If you don’t cook and don’t drink tea, start with salt and pepper and whatever else you use to season your food as you’re eating it.
Once you’ve identified what herbs you’ve actually worked with in the kitchen (or just at the table), start by thinking about what those herbs mean to you personally. What kind of flavors do they have? Is it something like chili powder that’s “hot”? Is it something like peppermint that’s “cool”? What kind of memories do you associate with that herb and its flavor? Write those thoughts down.
After you’ve thought about the herb in relation to you specifically, look up what it’s corresponded or associated with. Don’t go with just one source for the information, use a few different ones. Focus on the correspondences or associations that make sense to you. (See this post on what I think about personal correspondences) If you see something linking salt to purifying, and that makes sense to you, write it down. If you see something about rosemary being protective, and that makes no sense to you whatsoever, you can still write it down, but you don’t have to use rosemary for protection.
This touches on another aspect of why figuring out your personal correspondences for things is important: if you don’t know why you’re using something in a spell, that can allow room for doubt, and that’s going to affect the results of said spell. So when you’re researching correspondences, really dig into the whys and hows of the associations. Roses are associated with love because of the blossoms, but they’re associated with protection because of the thorns. See if you can make those kinds of connections.
But going back to my main point once again, in my opinion and experience, it is far easier to incorporate herbs you already know through cooking into spell work than it is to start working with a plant you only know about because you read about it in a spellbook or saw it listed in a spell recipe on instagram. So start by learning the correspondences and associations of the herbs you know before you start looking into the ones you’ve only just learned about.
Protection/Warding Black Salt
Not to be confused with volcanic salt/Himalayan black salt/kala namak. Black salt has strong protective properties, especially when combined with other protective/uncrossing herbs (herbs meant to undo a curse or hex). It’s used to absorb negative energy, create wards, and undo curses. It’s also good for banishing and binding. Here’s my recipe:
What you’ll need:
Cleansing items, such as smoke, bells, spray, whichever you personally use.
Sea Salt
Charcoal Disk (or charcoal powder)
Black Candle
Rosemary
Garlic Powder
Chili Powder
Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
Paprika
Black Pepper
Black Candle
Bowl
Mortar & Pestle
Black stones/crystals
Any additional protective items you may have. (Here I gathered dried red peppers, dried chili peppers, lemon, sage, and ashed from a Litha bonfire.) These items are for You to draw some extra energy from, and won’t be directly added to the salt.
Frankincense and/or Dragon’s Blood incense.
Instructions:
First, cleanse your space using whatever best works for you.
After cleansing, start your frankincense and/or dragon’s blood incense, this will be going for the duration of the spell.
Light your black candle.
Gather your supplies as seen in the picture.
As always, make sure your intention is strong, and continuously draw from it. Return to your intent no matter how often your mind wanders (which it will, that’s ok).
In a bowl, mix the salt with the herbs first.
Remember your other protective items are there for you to use. If needed, refocus on their protective energies and draw from that.
Use a mortar and pestle to crush the charcoal disk separately. This takes a lot of physical energy, and it is very messy. If you prefer to use charcoal powder, that’s ok, though charcoal disks will be cheaper. I like charcoal disks because I feel more energetically involved in/connected to the process.
Mixing counterclockwise, mix the very finely crushed charcoal into the salt. Mix. Use as many charcoal disks needed to get to the level of darkness you want.
Mind wandering? Remember your intent! Refocus!
When you’re done, transfer the black salt into a jar and set the crystals around it in a circle. Let it continue to build and charge this way, until you feel it is ready. If you’re not sure, it can also be until the candle or incense goes out.
Done! Sprinkle this around the parameter of your wards, such as along doorways and windows. It can also be used during unhexing/curse breaking spells, general protection spells, banishing, and binding.
This is NOT FOR CONSUMPTION.
Even if you used edible activated charcoal, know that 1. charcoal interacts with many medications by basically absorbing them and rendering them useless, including birth control, diabetes medications, cancer drugs, and more. and 2. I’m not sure this would taste great?
