Herbs and marigold petals to dry

[lunerbean]

Spell Jar to remember your dreams

Start with the basic ingredients:

- Lavender (I dried and crushed mine, you don't have to) for relaxation, sleep, & a clear mind.

- Rosemary for clarity & improved memory

- Amethyst for calming, peace, relaxation, psychic dreams, & wisdom

- Rose petals (I crawled under my neighbors rosebush to get some that were already dried by the earth. This is optional. If you have your own rosebush, you may use that instead) for dream retention & peace.

- A purple candle for psychic dreams & dream retention.

- A small glass jar (I got mine from Dollar Tree. It came in a pack of 7, hell yeah)

(The rosemary is not pictured, but you can see the sprig in the first picture. The lavender is in that mortar & pestle)

Prepare to do witchcraft. (Cleanse, ground, open a circle, all that good stuff)

Light the candle

Have the amethyst supervise lend its energy to your spell, use it to charge each ingredient as you add them to the jar.

You can add words to this if you want, but it didn't feel neccessary for me, personally.

Pour the wax from the candle on top of the jar. It's really hard to aim but it's easy to clean up & it doesn't hurt to get it on your skin. It happens.

Be sure to close your circle when you're finished.

Try to take cute pictures of the jar while your beautiful cat pouts in the background because you won't let him eat the rosemary or yeet the crystal across the room. This step is very important.

And there you go! Place the jar next to your bed where you can see it as you're getting ready to fall asleep. Happy dreaming!

Friendly reminder for witches of any age/experience level

Sigils are personal to YOU. They are sacred to YOU. No one can tell you what your sigil should or shouldn‘t be.

Some people use a circle method. Some use a square. Some make their own alphabet and use those symbols. Some just draw a funky shape with intent. It doesn‘t matter, as long as it resonates with you.

There is no correct way to make or use sigils - that is a unique and beautiful part of our craft.

I picked up a photo frame from the thrift store today and made it into a scrying mirror.

I cleansed it, gave it a good wipe down, and painted the underside of the glass black.

corvi's witch tips

i've learned a lot since i started practicing witchcraft. i hope this list helps some beginners and maybe even some intermediate witches. :)

- you don't need fancy tools to practice, all you really need is yourself - but tools are fun - literally anything you see fit can be used in your craft, look around your house! - jars are your friends!! jam jars, candle jars, any plastic containers! - organza bags are great for using in bath spells. just fill them with herbs, tie them, and throw them in! - herbal teabags work great too - candles. they are very good. even if they're LED ones. they still work. - white and black candles can substitute for all colours - crystals can be substituted for glass or ordinary rocks, just charge them with your intentions! - if you don't know what a particular crystal is and therefore don't know its correspondences, use its colour to find a correspondence instead - make sure you know what can damage each of your crystals! water, sun, and heat can easily damage certain crystals - flint is a great protective stone, and is also great at directing energy since it is mainly composed of quartz - tarot decks can be substituted for playing cards! i used a special set of playing cards for a long time before i got my first tarot deck - go to charity shops to find cool items for your craft! you're supporting your craft and local/national charities! thrift stores are great too! - go outside! find cool rocks! collect sticks! press flowers! thank nature! - do research about your local area! any location-specific plants? folklore? spirits? write anything interesting down! - visualisation can really help you!! but don't worry if you struggle with it, it's not compulsory - meditation has magical benefits as well as health benefits, utilise it if you can! - have a houseplant? learn its correspondences! meditate with it! watch it grow! make it your friend!! - use crystals to help your plants grow!! rose quartz, tiger eye, and green aventurine are great for this - sigils are convenient and fun to make, they can easily condense your intentions into a symbol that you can use over and over again - draw sigils in a colour that corresponds to your intention - draw sigils on masking tape, you can stick it pretty much anywhere - make sigils for your plants to help them stay healthy, they'll thank you! - lunar energy is powerful, harness that shit by cleansing and charging your tools under it - you don't need to place stuff directly under moonlight to cleanse or charge it, i just place it near a window - if you struggle to remember the lunar cycle, it is wax on, wan off - pendulums need cleansing often, although i store selenite with mine instead - in fact i store selenite with pretty much all of my divination tools - got a load of random charms laying around? maybe some buttons? shells? figurines? put them all together and wow! it's a charm oracle set! - dice can be used for divination; my personal favourite way is using a D12 for astrological signs, although there are definitely more complex ways of using them - take a break if you feel like you're going through a burnout in your craft, no big deal - your craft should not be difficult. if you struggle with certain aspects, figure out a way of making them easier. accomodate for any physical or mental conditions. self-care. - the internet can be a friend, but take everything you see online with a pinch of salt (even this)

Beaded snake

(I’m probably going to age myself with this post 😂 )

When I was pre-teen, everyone had to have these pony beaded critter keychains. We made them by the dozens!

Tonight I got in touch with my younger self and created a snake for my Loki altar. It was so nice to just doing something easy, fun, and creative. My kiddos made things too, so bonding family time too. It was a good devotional act as well as a fun piece of altar art.

We do a lot of pearler bead art here, that’s what I had on hand, so that’s what I used to creat my little snake.

[mabonkoraki]

how do you personally differentiate between a grimoire and a book of shadows? I’m curious!

Do you consider them the same thing? or do you keep one for all info and one for spells + rituals?

Everyday things you probably already do that can be WITCHY with intention:

🌙 Showering - As every witch knows, it’s important to cleanse your space often! A daily shower is a perfect way to cleanse yourSELF! Ritual baths are amazing, but when life gets busy, we don’t always have time to sit and soak. Use your alone time in the shower intentionally. Clean your body while imagining all of the negative energy of the day washing off of you. Use certain soaps or bath products in conjunction with specific intentions. (Rose for universal love, peppermint for wealth, chamomile for purification, etc.) Remember to be intentional in your thoughts as well. Showers are a great place for meditation and manifestation!

🌙 Applying makeup/doing your hair - These are things we typically do in front of a mirror. A mirror is the perfect gateway to connect with ourselves for a bit of reassurance. Use this time to state positive affirmations or mantras.

🌙 Cleaning your home - Cleaning our sacred spaces is another great way to banish negativity and protect our energy. Use certain scents around your home to match certain intentions, and listen to high frequency music while cleaning to keep your energy lifted.

🌙 Falling asleep - If you’re anything like myself, having noise in the background while you’re getting ready for bed can be very comforting. However, it is extremely important to be intentional about the things we watch or listen to, even subconsciously, before laying down. The alpha and theta brainwave states of consciousness we enter before bed are heavily influenced by our surroundings. Try to watch or listen to TV shows or movies with positive or uplifting messages that are light hearted, or even better yet, try guided meditations!

🌙 Working - This one is so much easier said than done. Sometimes when we are working, our mind tends to wander to things we’d rather be doing instead. Alternatively, if you struggle with happiness or contentment at work, try to avert your thoughts into a positive direction. Think about your dream job. Think about how you’ll achieve your career goals, and how what you are doing now will help you progress forward with these motivations. The universe is always listening. Instead of thinking about how you dislike your job, even if you do, instead think about how much you’d LOVE to do your dream job. This will bring you much closer to your end goal a lot more quickly. Always remember: Positive attitude = positive results!

if you find prayer difficult or unengaging, consider keeping a "destroy this book" style free writing journal.

You "pray" by writing, scribbling, drawing, practice automatic writing, sigil making, etc, and then dedicate the page to your desired entity by anointing it with oil and herbs, sealing it with wax, staining it with coffee or tea, pressing little scraps of things into the hot wax on top of your prayers, etc.

it's basically a practice of free intuition that feels very very good, better for me than sitting in a dark room with a candle and speaking in a formal tone.

As an added benefit, once you fill your book, if you feel like labeling the pages (I didn't, lol), you have within your possession a lumpy, bumpy, messy compendium of beings you can use to summon that absolutely no one else will know what to do with.
