🍃 Empath Charm Bag ✨
In celebration of the beautiful full “Pink Moon” tonight, I decided to finally make my Empath charm bag and I wanted to share it with you all for you to use!
This charm bag is for Empaths to stabilize and ground the emotions they receive, in order to prevent them from getting overwhelmed and emotionally drained all the time. This is to assist in controlling the emotions empaths feel–repelling negative emotions and retaining a good balance of healthy emotions.
As a crystal witch, my craft revolves around the use of crystals. So please feel free to substitute the crystals used for other equivalent materials keen to your craft!)
MATERIALS: - fabric/cloth - permanent marker - string *optional: candle/wax of your choosing (I recommend yellow!)
CRYSTALS: - Amber - Amethyst - Angelite - Clear Quartz
PREPARATION:
• Choose your crystals carefully! Each crystal has a specific purpose for empaths, and when combined they are to enhance each other’s purpose and serve the Empath. I chose these specific four crystals for the following reasons:
Amethyst: for repelling negative energy; purification; emotional calming & stress relieving
Amber: helps stabilize & ground emotions; brings clarification
Angelite: strengthens communication with angels (personal preference as I use Angels in my craft); brings gentleness & support
Clear Quartz: to enhance the purpose of this charm; amplifies powers of other crystals and the sigil; powerful cleansing abilities
• All my crystals were previously charged in the rain and moonlight (both of which are elements that strengthen me and my craft). I encourage you to cleanse & charge your crystals (or substituted materials) prior to making this charm bag! For extra strength!
INSTRUCTIONS:
1) Cut your fabric to your preferred sizing and shape (I recommend making it small so it’s easy to carry).
2) Draw your desired sigil onto both the FRONT AND BACK of the cloth.
For this charm, I decided to use a word-based sigil. On a separate piece of paper, I wrote “CONTROL” (because I want to control the emotions I feel), took out the vowels and broke the words down into basic shapes/lines. So it looked like this:
CONTROL CNTRL C lll ll llc ll
I then pieced together the lines into a sigil (I let my mind wander freely and just created what came to mind).
3) Gently place the crystals inside of the sigil on the cloth–remember to concentrate on the purpose of each crystal!
4) Recite the following:
“I ground my emotions to the world. Bring peace to my thoughts. Stabilize my emotions without curl. Control all that is brought.”
5) Wrap up the cloth and tie it close with the string. Make sure it’s tied nice and tight so your crystals do not fall out!
*Optional: Seal the knot of the string with melted wax from your candle. Your candle of choice will have its own power, and act like a final seal to close your charm bag.
And there you have it! Your own little charm bag that should help you stabilize the overwhelming emotions empaths feel. Use this in your journey to further understanding and controlling your emotional gift!
Empath Protection
This is a masterpost with resources for empaths. First off, are you an empath*?
An empath is someone who deeply feels and connects to the emotions, feelings, and energies of other people. This can cause anxiety, depression, fatigue, exhaustion, headaches, stomach aches, and/or severe stress. There are varying degrees of empathy one can feel, and for some this gift/burden is heavier than for others. See also, 30 Common Traits of an Empath, More Information about Empaths. Signs which are most commonly empaths: Aquarius, Cancer, Pisces. Here is a resource of tips and tricks for the empath.
♦ Empath Bath Salts - Use this after being around people’s energies for too long and are needing to be cleansed of them. ♢ Empath Protection Sigil - Put on your person, a charm, in your grimoire, or on your clothing. ♦ Empath Protection Jar - Protect yourself from others negative energies. This is a preventative. ♢ Empath Bath Spell - This spell is for balancing your own energy and grounding yourself. ♦ Crystals for Empaths - Put on your person, beside your bed, under your pillow, in rooms you frequent, or on your clothing. ♢ The Veil Method - How to block out other people’s emotions. ♦ Treatment for the ‘Empath Hangover’ - How to deal with things after ebing emotionally drained. ♢ Negative energy protection sigil - Put on your person, a charm, in your grimoire, or on your clothing. ♦ “I Am Warded and Safe from External Feelings” Sigil - Put on your person, a charm, in your grimoire, or on your clothing.
Misc. Tips for Empaths:
Wear silk; silk neutralises other people’s energies. Perform grounding and self love spells often. All yourself designated quiet time. Cleanse your space, aura, and chakras of negative energy often.
Essential Oils For Empaths
Empath - a person with the paranormal ability to apprehend the mental or emotional state of another individual.
Shields – Sage, Patchouli, Frankincense, Bay Laurel. Shielding essential oils help to keep our own energy closed, keeping our energy to ourselves and not allowing other people to penetrate and drain us energetically. Self-love boosters – Jasmine, Rose, Sandalwood, Lavender, Neroli, Ylang-Ylang, Vanilla. Many Empaths take on the burdens of others and it gets to be too much. These oils will help you open your heart to receive back from the Universe and heal the parts of yourself that need some TLC. Grounding – Angelica Seed, Clary Sage, Rosemary, Patchouli, Frankincense, Myrrh. Because so many Empaths spend much of their time projecting themselves outside of their own bodies, it can be hard to stay grounded or recognize your own feelings/emotions from others. Any of these oils will work to help you feel safe and rooted to your own body and emotions.
10 Crystals For Empaths
Crystals have been used for thousands of years to protect and enhance personal energy. They have the ability to focus energy and generate minute electrical currents that interact with the currents in the human body and environment. Crystals are an amazing way to cleanse, amplify, and protect one’s energy.
As a highly sensitive empath, I absorb energy from everything. Not only am I affected by the emotions and attitudes of other people, but I’m extremely sensitive to things like geopathic stress and electromagnetic stress. This often leads to exhaustion, irritability, and overwhelm.
Geopathic stress: Stress created by electromagnetic radiation, ley lines, and underground water. It’s also present in “sick building syndrome”. Injurious to health, it can affect the immune system as well as the body’s innate psychic protection and may attract ghosts or hold impressions of previous events.
Electromagnetic stress: Disharmony caused by the subtle emanations of electrical, microwave, computer, phone and radio frequencies, as well as power lines.
The following list features 10 of my favorite crystals that have been the most beneficial in managing sensitivities and raising my vibration:
Labradorite
Known as one of the most protective stones, labradorite creates an interface around the aura that filters out energies that are not beneficial and enhances spiritual connection. It allows one to be aware of other’s feelings and emotions without being overwhelmed by them. Labradorite enhances physic abilities, aligns physical and subtle bodies, and strengthens the aura.
Tip: If you’re prone to nightmares and restless sleep, try holding a labradorite palm stone at bedtime. I sleep with one every night and it has helped me immensely. Just remember to cleanse it in-between uses!
Stones with similar vibrational qualities: rainbow moonstone, black moonstone, spectrolite
Celestine
Also known as celestite, this high vibrational stone links one to higher realms and stimulates spiritual insights. It facilitates inner peace, helps to disperse anxieties and calm the emotions while promoting clarity of mind. This beautiful crystal heals the aura, assists in conflict resolution, and helps maintain a harmonious atmosphere in times of stress.
Tip: Try meditating with one of these stones and record any insights you might have in a journal afterwards. I’ve been amazed at some of the profound breakthroughs I’ve had while spending time with this amazing crystal.
Stones with similar vibrational qualities: blue lace agate, angelite, phantom quartz, apophyllite
Lithium Quartz
This variety of quartz is a natural antidepressant. Its powerful healing energies gently lift the conditions underlying the depression to the surface, neutralizing ancient anger and grief. It can reach back into past lives to dissolve the roots of emotional dis-ease that is pervading the present life. Lithium quartz is an excellent cleanser for the body’s energy centers and is extremely useful as a healer for plants and animals.
Tip: If feeling lethargic or low on energy, carry a small lithium quartz point with you in your pocket. Lithium quartz can function like an emotional battery for those that are sensitive to the vibration of this stone.
Stones with similar vibrational qualities: quartz with hematite, elestial quartz, vanadinite, zeolite
Black Tourmaline
Black tourmaline, also known as schorl; protects agains cell phones, electromagnetic smog, radiation, ill wishing, and negative energies of all kinds. Black tourmaline is the most effective block to psychic attack and is extremely efficient at absorbing negative energy. It helps one adopt a positive attitude regardless of the circumstances.
Tip: Black tourmaline is super effective as a gem elixir that can be added to cleansing sprays and used to purify the aura.
Stones with similar vibrational qualities: shungite, black kyanite, jet, tourmalinated quartz

Known as the stone of unconditional love and forgiveness, gentle rose quartz opens the heart and transforms negative emotions into positive ones. It’s an excellent stone to use during crisis or trauma, as it quickly brings peace. It transmutes negative emotional conditioning and supports positive affirmations. It purifies and opens the heart at all levels and brings deep inner healing and self-love.
Tip: Wear a rose quartz pendant over your heart to promote self-love, tranquility, and emotional healing.

A strongly protective stone, especially against electromagnetic and geopathic pollution, as well as psychic attack. Fluorite stabilizes energy and shuts off mental manipulation.

Emotionally, fluorite has a grounding effect.
Tip: Place a piece of fluorite on a computer or between yourself and the source of electromagnetic fog.
Stones with similar vibrational qualities: amazonite, green aventurine, bloodstone
Smoky Quartz
Smoky quartz is one of the most efficient grounding and anchoring stones. It helps alleviate fears, soothes an active mind, and promotes emotional calmness. This protective stone gently neutralizes negative vibrations, absorbs electromagnetic smog, and blocks geopathic stress. Smoky quartz is a powerful antidote to stress and assists in tolerating difficult times while bringing in positive energy.

How to: Making moon water
Hello friends, it is I and I am here for yet another “How to”. This time I will show you how to make moon water. Moon water is a must have for me in my craft. My craft revolves heavily around the moon and almost all of my energy comes from her (the moon, cause she is my babe). Moon water is specially charged water that has a lot of magickal energy. It can be used to clean crystals, used in spells, you can put a little in a bath for an extra boost of energy, you can even drink a little bit to get re-energized, or put some in a spray bottle and use to cleanse a room. Moon water is good for everything! This post will teach you the steps in how to make it. The way that I will show you is not the ONLY way, but it is my way, that I want to share will you all.
Step #1: Find a jar (witches love jars) preferably a glass jar. You really shouldn’t use plastic cups because the chemicals in the plastic will fuck up the energy of the moon war. I always use a VERY large mason jar because the more water you can make the better. Also the mason jar is easy to store and they are super cheap, you can literally get the anywhere. WITCH TIP! You can go to goodwill and find a SHIT TON of nice ass jars and glass containers for like $2 each. Just make sure you clean them well when you get home, also check and make sure they don’t have any cracks.
Step #2: Fill your jar with water, spring, filtered, distilled or tap water. I own one of the refrigerators will the thing on the door that filters water, so I always just use the water from there. I personally never like to use tap water because it normally has a lot of chemicals in it, but if that’s all you have then that is fine!
Step #3 (OPTIONAL): Okay so this step is optional, but sometimes I like to do this if I have a specific purpose for the moon water. Sometime I put herbs/plants/fruit in the water to infuse the water with the magickal qualities of that herbs/plant/fruit. BUT if you are planning on drinking the water be careful with what you put in it. Some herbs/plants/fruits are POSIONOUS! If you want to know what the magickal quality of a specific herbs/plants/fruits then you can check out my other post on my blog that list all of that for you!
http://plants-not-people.tumblr.com/post/144230985226/complete-list-of-magickal-uses-of-herbsplants
Step #4: Bless and cleanse the water with incense (Personally I use sage). I cleanse the water by letting the smoke of the incense engulf the container. When I do this I really focus my intent of wanting powerful, energizing moon water.
Step #5: I consecrate the water by holding my hands over the jar and focusing my energy into the water. If you are a beginner and it is hard for you to focus your energy I would try repeating a saying over and over. You can say something like “Let this moon water be free of impurities and full on positive energy”. It does not have to be those exact words, but just remember to speak from the heart.
Step #6: Leave the water out side on the night of the full moon. Preferably try to not leave the jar in a place where it is covered by trees and shade. Then just let it sit outside and soak up all of the energy. Then that’s it you are done! The next day go collect your water and be on your mary way UNLESS you did step #3. If you did step #3 then you have to continue to step #7 (sorry, not sorry).
Step #7: Okay, so you put the herbs/plants/fruit in the moon water. Now you have to fish it out of the moon water. I suggest straining the water with a pasta strainer. Or if you only had big pieces of fruit you can just scoop them out with a spoon. Then that’s it and now you are done!
I hope this helped you guys a lot, please message me if you have any questions I am more than happy to help! Happy witching and I wish you all the best <3

Nightmare Jar Recipe
Here is a fantastic nightmare jar that has been of tremendous use for me and my friends and family. I will say this - it only lasts about a year before you will need to make a new one.
Ingredients
1 small jar you can seal
~8 in. Black Yarn
3-10 strands of hair from the person you are trying to protect
8-20 sharp objects like rusty nails, broken glass, etc.
Salt
Lavender
Mint
Rose Petals (optional)
Bay Leaves
Candle
Sharpie
Directions
Start by placing the hair into the vessel. This tricks whatever is causing the nightmares into the jar. Then put in the sharp objects to poke and prod the negativity and trap it in the jar once and for all.
Next, put in your herbs. Mint and lavender are meant to bring restful and calm sleep, and the bay leaves are meant for cleansing and keeping evil at bay. The rose petals will bring dreams of love.
SIDE NOTE: In my experience, the rose petals brought a lot of insanely sexual dreams. So take that and do what you want with it.
Now add about half of your salt. The black yarn absorbs the negative energies. Wrap it up in a little ball and drop it into the jar, visualizing the negativity being sucked into a black hole. Pour the remaining salt into the jar and seal it with wax from your candle.
Feel free to write inscribe protective runes or sigils into the jar with the sharpie if you so choose.
Charge the nightmare jar in the light of the moon, and keep near the bed. A window sill is best as it will need to be recharged from time to time.
Hope this helps everyone - if you have any questions or comments, let me know!
Bone correspondences
A little while ago, I realized that there is NO info on what bones to use for what. I was clueless and had no idea where to begin. Research was fruitless and asking others came with no results. So I sat down during preap algebra 2 and made my own list. These are my own correspondences, based off of what I felt like and remembering bits of spells I’d thought about. They are 100% my own, taken from no one. Please give me credit if you use it anywhere else :) I also know I haven’t included every bone out there, if I missed one msg me, I’ll give it some thought and see what happens! :D
▪Teeth- communication, learning other language, news, defense ▪Skull- thoughts, divination, communication, spirit work, astral ▪Spine- support, confidence, level headed ▪Arm- help, blocking (curses, hexes, psychic attacks, etc) ▪Wrist- flexibility, hard work ▪Hand- art, artistic ability, creativity, energy ▪Fingers- fluidity, progress, endurance ▪Nails/ claws- fighting, protection, finding things out, knowledge, struggle, balance ▪Rib- agility, protection ▪Hip- ebdurance, keeping it together ▪leg- endurance, travel, strength ▪Ankle- movement, moving on, catalyst ▪Foot- endurance, moving on, leaving things behind, hard work, independence, luck ▪Toe- balance, help, prosperity, money, changing luck (for the better or worse) ▪Tail- (like actual bones in the animals tail, not the tailbone) agility, secrecy, alarm, cursing
YASSSS 💀
I placed a rib bone from dinner last night into Hel’s offering bowl, so this post makes me happy.
Teas for Witches: the Basics
I can talk about tea literally all day (and I have because I’ve worked in a spice and tea shop for years), and there is SO much to talk about with both health and magical benefits. Teas are made from tea leaves called camellia sinensis, with the exception of herbal teas/infusions. For this, I’m going to list magical and health benefits by type of tea.
Black Tea
Feminine * Earth * Winter * Strength * Stability * Death * Expelling Negativity * Alertness * Energy
Black tea is the most fermented and oxidized of all teas. Its tea leaves look shriveled and black. It combats heart ailments, digestive problems, high cholesterol, asthma, and breast/menstrual problems. Black tea also has a lot of caffeine (47 mg, still less than coffee) and too much of it can cause acidity issues in the stomach.
Examples: English/Irish Breakfast Tea, Assam, Darjeeling, Lapsung Souchang, Ceylon, Earl Grey
**There is a subset of black tea called Pu-erh, a post-fermented black tea. Some consider this to be the “purest” of all teas and connect it to the aether, as it is rare and valuable.
Green Tea
Masculine * Fire * Summer * Passion * Healing * Conscious Mind * Sexual Health * Love * Energy * Progress * Magic
Green tea is slightly steamed but not fermented, which maintains its green color. It has many health benefits, such as detoxifying, reducing cholesterol and weight, boosting immunity and stamina, and reducing blood glucose. It has less caffeine than black, but still some.
Examples: Jasmine, Sencha, Matcha, Gyokurocha, Genmaicha, Hojicha, Gunpowder, Dragonwell
Oolong Tea
Feminine * Water * Autumn * Reflection * Meditation * Wisdom * Serenity * Concentration * Romance * Friendship
I always describe Oolong as being between Green and Blacks, since it is half fermented. It can help manage weight and stress, balance blog sugar levels, remove free radicals, and promote healthy skin and bones. HOWEVER, too much can actually speed up bone degradation because it sweeps away excess calcium. And beware of its high caffeine content (I used to drink Raspberry Wulong to pull all-nighters).
Examples: Milk Oolong, Formosa, Wulongs
White Tea
Masculine * Air * Spring * Happiness * Wisdom * Moon * Purification * Protection * Clarity * Cleansing * Beginnings
White tea is a little harder to find. Either the tea leaves are plucked as immature leaves and steamed, or the leaves have not been processed (there seems to be little consensus across cultures). Some have a small amount of caffeine. It’s a great antibacterial and antioxidant, and it improves the heart, oral health, and skin. Drinking a couple cups works better than one, and you can reuse the tea leaves, granted that the second cup will brew longer.
Examples: White teas come in many flavors and are usually labeled as white tea. You may need to seek out a tea shop to find some.
Herbal Tea
Magical properties depend on which herbs are used
This tea seems to be the most popular for witches on tumblr, because it is composed of dry, unprocessed herbs, seeds, fruits, or roots, and has no caffeine (as long as the herb doesn’t!). There are many recipes online as herbals are easy to make. In general, herbal tea promotes calm, reduces cholesterol and risk of heart conditions, cancers, and diabetes. Due to its lack of actual tea leaves it has less antioxidants than other teas. Some don’t even call it a tea, but dub it Herbal Infusion.
Examples: Rooibos, most Chais, Ginseng, Chamomile, Peppermint, Spearmint, Hibiscus
**Yerba Mate is an herbal tea that is notorious for its high caffeine levels (you’ve probably seen the energy drink). It also zaps one’s appetite and can become addictive, so be careful around this tea!
As always, feel free to add/message me of any corrections, and I hope you find your cup of tea!
little witchy idea~
OK but this is amazing???
This is so great
Think about how this could boost the effects of sigils though.
