When Writing Spells

If you want to keep something close, bury it in your back yard.

If you want to attract something, bury it under the front door step.

If you want to destroy its influence, burn it.

If you want it to move away and sink, throw it in running water.

If you want to disperse it to a distance, throw it into a crossroads.

If you want to fix its influence, inter it in a five-spot pattern.

If you want it to work by means of spirits, bury it in a graveyard.

If you want to hide its point of origin, conceal it in a tree.

If you want it to work in secret, give it in food or drink.

If you want it to work by stealth, hide it in clothing or on objects.

If you want its influence to begin or strengthen, throw it East.

If you want its influence to end or weaken, throw it West.

If you want its influence to rise and fall cyclicly, float it in a tidal estuary.

what sign(s) yall stuck in the house with

[the-last-girl-scout]

I have to keep coming to work if I want to keep having a job. I leave for work at night and I come home in the evenings and this place is a fucking ghost town. There have been A Lot of confirmed covid-19 cases in the area and several deaths. My friends in the nurses' union have confirmed that the situation here is much worse than is being reported and that local government and healthcare authorities did not start any sort of preparations until after it was already a pandemic. By day we lock ourselves in the house and it feels like we're under siege.

My girlfriend has been sick for over a week and is showing very scary symptoms. She lives 3000 miles away in a big city on the other side of the country.

Y'all I'm spooked. I'm real spooked.

[systlin]

I maintain that it’s been here and spreading longer than anyone knows. 

That period of being sick I had a bit back?

Fit all the symptoms to a T. Course we hadn’t heard much about it yet, but I’m starting to suspect that I already had it. 

We’ve had a few cases reported in our area, and when I drive to work there’s like no one on the roads. The folks I know up at the hospital say they’re battening down the hatches for the storm to hit. 

I’m worried too. 

[witch-raven]

I got something that tested negative for the flu about a month and a half ago, didn’t go to the doctor until my lips were turning blue when I wasn’t in the bathroom/sauna. They gave me Tamiflu and it didn’t help, still had to go to work with a fever and a horrible horrible hacking cough. Doctor prescribed me two separate inhalers because my lung function was reduced so significantly. If I had waited any longer he said it would have been way worse. Nurses around here are saying there was a virus imitating the flu going around for a while that was testing negative. I think I already had it too and if I get it again I think it’s going to be way worse.

Prayer & Prayer Beads

Some of us pray as part of our spiritual practices, and our reasons for doing so are as varied and numerous as the gods we pray to. We may pray for help, for guidance, for favor, in devotion, in greeting, in thanks, to feel closer to our gods, or just to talk. Prayer is our direct link to the divine - no tools are needed, and anyone can do it. I’m a prayer bead maker, and prayer beads are a tool, but they are not at all necessary to pray. All you need are your words, or even your thoughts and feelings. If they’re directed toward the divine in communication, to me that’s prayer. 

So, what are prayer beads for? While they aren’t necessary to pray, and I say many quick prayers without them, in my experience they can be helpful. Prayer can be quick and easy and frequent, but I think prayer beads have a place too - when you want your prayers to be deliberate, to set apart time for them, to be rituals in themselves.

Unless you’re part of a specific tradition that uses prayer beads, there are no absolute “rules” for how to use them. Here are some ways I’ve personally found them to be helpful:

Prayer beads can be an immediate, physical and visual, connection to a god. When I pick up my prayer beads, I physically feel them vibrating with energy. The moment I pick them up, I’m in a different head-space. Touching the beads can act as a cue to shift you into a prayerful mindset. When you pick them up, you are ready for communion with your god/s.

The use of beads with repeated prayers can induce a trance or trance-like state. I’ve personally experienced states of rapture and trance while using prayer beads. Holding them and speaking simple, repetitive prayers can carry you away. The time can slip away, too. If nothing else, it’s relaxing.

Prayer beads can be used to meditate on specific aspects of your god/s. With the use of colors and symbols that are meaningful, you can focus on aspects of your gods that you love and want to feel connected to, or aspects that you don’t fully understand and want to know better.

Okay, so you have a set of beads. How exactly do you use them? Again, there are no absolute “rules,” though different religions use them in different ways. If you are not part of one of those traditions, here are some ideas to get started:

You can simply hold them while praying spontaneously.

You can assign to each type of bead a different prayer, speak the prayer while holding the first bead, then hold the next bead and repeat. I have a different prayer for each “element” of my beads, with the majority black bone being a simple repeating 2-line chant; the flowers, skull and pomegranate being longer written prayers; and the garnet being a cue to speak spontaneously.

You can designate different sections of beads to focus on different aspects of your god, holding that entire section as you pray.

You can wear them to feel closer to your god/s.

Example - of-the-eucalypts’s prayer beads 

Example - amethystbonesblackheart’s prayer beads (Hope you guys don’t mind me linking to you, I just really loved both of your processes.)

Anything else you can think of - be creative!

In closing…I’ve always been amazed by how prayer works. I can’t count the number of times that the perfect answer to a problem has come to me mid-prayer, and how many times I’ve left prayer newly energized, happy, feeling connected to my god and knowing I’ve deepened my relationship with Her.

I wrote this post because I’ve had many people ask questions on prayer and on using prayer beads. Again, they are not necessary for prayer - but if you are interested in using or making them, I hope this has been helpful, or given you ideas.

more information on Celtic Cross readings, if possible?

Why the Celtic Cross is King

There are a myriad tarot spreads. You can make your own, or use none. Just pull as many cards as you like and read them as you want. As with food and fashion, we each have a preference. But there is a reason the Celtic Cross deserves so much reverence.

1) It respects you and your question.

The Celtic Cross is not designed to give rushed, biting and abrupt answers. It recognizes that your question is important to you. So it takes the time to explore every detail of your situation before giving you advice and a prediction.

2) It kindly proves itself to you.

Fortunetelling involves powers beyond the natural. Powers that require humility to be harnessed. (So never trust a reader who arrogantly promises 100% preciseness.) To minimize the trickiness of the business, the Celtic Cross states what you already know: your past, hopes, fears, pains, secrets, goals. If it accurately describes these things, you can trust its promise of what tomorrow will bring.

3) It allows for great interaction.

When interpreting a spread, it is crucial to look at how the cards are connecting. Is the Page of Cups offering his chalice to The Magician? Is the Knight of Swords on his way to attack the King of Wands? The way the Celtic Cross is laid out lets many interactions come about.

How to Perform It

It has dozens of variations. Each reader has a fancied version. Below is a sample of the one my grandma taught me. I use it faithfully.

1) The Hierophant (reversed) – The Present

What is happening at the moment?

2) Three of Wands – The Problem

What needs to be remedied?

3) Two of Pentacles – The Past

What led you to where you are?

4) Seven of Pentacles – The Near Future

What happens next?

5) Seven of Swords – The Conscious Goal

What does your mind want?

6) Four of Wands – The Buried Truth

What lies in your subconscious?

7) Eight of Swords – The Advice

What will the Fates have you do?

8) Six of Swords – The Environment

Where are you in the broad view?

9) King of Pentacles – The Hope or Fear

What does your soul crave or dread?

10) Queen of Wands, Nine of Wands, The Sun – The Ultimate Outcome

What does the future hold, after all is said and done?

11) The World – The Underworld

What lies beneath that can help or hinder?

How to Interpret It

STEP 1: Read the cards in order, one by one.

Then read the Ultimate Outcome cards as one: The Queen of Wands is reprimanding the man in the Nine of Wands. But he is supported by The Sun. All will be well for the querent in the end.

STEP 2: Compare the Near Future with the Ultimate Outcome.

The man in the Seven of Pentacles has put life on pause, anxiously awaiting what is next. Then it comes: first, it will be bad (Nine of Wands), then he will be glad (The Sun).

STEP 3: Compare the Buried Truth with the Hope or Fear.

If it is a positive card, it is the hope. Otherwise, it is the fear.

The two positions are aligned. A buried need for stability (Four of Wands) and a desire to be solid and steady (King of Pentacles). The querent is clear about his wishes.

STEP 4: Compare the Conscious Goal with the Ultimate Outcome.

It all happens as hoped for. The querent wishes to get away with something (Seven of Swords). And after a bit of scuffle (Nine of Wands), he does (The Sun).

STEP 5: Compare the Advice with the Ultimate Outcome.

The querent needs to stop acting the victim (Eight of Swords). Once he moves forward, he will face the punishment he fears, yes (Queen of Wands and Nine of Wands). But it will all work out (The Sun). No rainbow without rain.

STEP 6: Close the reading.

For this, you have ten more things to do.

All the best to you. 🌹

The Morrigan Speaks

Your first and last breath belong to Me. I who am the embodiment  Of destruction and creation Who revels in the chaos of change.

It is only I who can navigate you Through the ruins of your soul. So, you call me the Dark Mother The Raven of War And I am, and I am not. For I am ever and only Myself Beyond the definitions of humanity.

If I destroy, it is only to create anew From the ashes of the old. I am the fertile darkness Deep within the soul.

I am the forge that tempers the Will I am the rage that empowers I am the soul that will not suffer Or endure injustice I am the strength that emerges From the darkness of self-doubt Self-knowledge attained from loss. So drink in My Darkness And discover the beauty within And learn the wisdom that only I can teach.

🍁Table of contents is a must.

🍁Try and plan what you’re going to write down and when.

🍁You can write down every idea you have in a notebook aside first to organise and plan.

🍁Perhaps first write it in pencil, then go over later.

🍁Print out photos, dry out flowers and herbs, add stickers, doodle and more to decorate your Grimoire if you want. It makes it more personal, but in the end the most important thing is that you understand it

🍁And remember that it is your Grimoire, don’t compare yourself to anyone else. That book is yours and that’s the specialist thing of all♡

I realize this is probably a very big question, but here we go-what are some ways I could incorporate chicken bones into my practice?

Yes! There are tons of ways to use bones, and chicken bones in your practice, but it’ll depend on what works for you :)

One, bones are all made up of earth, you can use them for any grounding magic you need.

They are from dead animals and can act as a connection to the deceased and the underworld.

You can use them for divination by either throwing them and interpreting how they lay, or mix them with other items and scatter on a diagram of meanings (like chicken bone lands next to the star, or the key etc).

Another form of divination is carving symbols, runes, ogham or sigils in the bones and tossing them into a fire. You wait until there are cracks, then read them that way (you get to decide what it means if a symbol doesn’t crack, if it does, or how many etc)

Chicken bones can be used as protective charms, especially if placed outside on the property or near doorways. There is a tradition of keeping black chickens because they scratch up hexes and curses cast over houses and people.

Look up lore on the cocatrice! See f anything calls to you (especially a fun hex around “turning to stone”)

There’s a podcast called “The Wigglian Way” and I remember listening to an episode that used chicken bones to represent ancestors in a ritual. You place a chicken bone(s) on the ground (symbolizing the deceased) and place a stone over it with a goal in mind that you might want ancestral help with) and then pour wine for the blood that connects you, and milk for spiritual nourishment (I think?) then each week you add another stone until the task is complete or the goal is met! And this could be done with any ancestral spirit.

You could use it in baneful magic. Write something on the bone and hide it near the targets home. Think “I’ve got a bone to pick with you.”

Protection from spirits if you hang them like a ghastly windchime.

The list goes on and on, but just know that bones are of the dead, so they have heavy connotations of relating to the dead and their world.

Oh, and if you have a spell that calls for bone, or healing spells, a bone is a great “diet taglock” not necessarily a direct connection to the person, but playing on the fact that we are all bone and earth and fire.

I’m sure there are a ton of other ways to incorporate them/use them, but that’s what I’ve got off the top of my head.

Spirit Work: Beginners

Working with spirits is a fun experience in my opinion, but definitely comes with a risk. You’re meeting someone new, and there are “good” entities and “bad” entities and entities in between, just like with anything. Working with spirits requires some preparation, and may be easier for some and very difficult for others. I personally had to train quite a long time to get to where I am and I am still learning a lot even today.

Preparation Stage

1. Warding

Knowing how to ward is so important in witchcraft in general, and this is definitely no exception. Please make sure to have strong wards around yourself and your mind. A spirit with bad intentions can definitely hurt you or possess you against your will if you are not careful.

Note: Ward against all spirits, even the ones you trust. You deserve your own space and there are going to be times when you want to be alone. This is so important.

2. Learn about yourself

This may sound strange but you need to know who you are before working with spirits. This way, you can tell the difference between when you feel them around or your own energy, and the same with trying to hear/see them vs. your own thoughts.

To do this, meditate as much as possible. If you can end up meditating at least a few minutes every single day, that’s awesome. Focus your meditations at first on quieting your mind and focusing on a single random object in your mind. Visualize it and observe the details. How it smells, feels, tastes, sounds. Usually I do this with an apple. Something simple. Once you feel like you can do this comfortably, then begin exploring your current emotions. Identify as many as you can. You can dig deeper if you would like, trying to see what underlying emotions you carry that can cloud your readings, both telepathy and divination. Explore your energy- what color does it look like to YOU, not what others have told you? Everyone sees things differently, so you need to see how you see.

I could go into more detail about this but that will have to be a whole other post. This is such a big part of spirit work and your own journey that I cannot stress it enough. The more you know yourself, the easier it will be in a lot of your workings in witchcraft.

3. Trust yourself, be confident

Doubts and fears cloud readings, both physical and mental. Your intuition will become clouded if you do not trust yourself. It is good in my opinion to have a little doubt and to not be too confident, but it is a delicate balance. It’s hard to explain how much is too much, so the one way I can put it is allowing the first thought be your instinct. The thoughts that come automatically tend to be the instinctive ones.

4. Learn what is instinct, and what is yours

This is important as well. I briefly mentioned it in the previous point. A good idea to practice this is begin with divination- for example, tarot cards have basic meanings, but also should be interpreted with intuition as well. Learn to listen to that intuition in your divination and not only will it help you with listening and identifying spirits, but also will help you with your divination techniques. Definitely an awesome double whammy! Don’t forget, tarot is NOT the only way to talk with spirits!

5. Learn how to banish

Just in case you come across a spirit who wants to hurt you or will not leave you alone even if you ask it to, you need to learn how to banish it. There are many ways you can perform a banishing- it highly depends on your own abilities and what is easiest for you. Some people have a lot more power in words, while others need to make a spray with herbs and oils. I highly suggest doing some research on banishing and find what works best for you.

6. Find a communication method

Once again, everyone is different. Some work better with pendulums (I personally don’t like using them), while others use tarot or another method. Getting to the point of seeing and hearing a spirit takes a while for some people, and that’s ok. It took me almost four years to get to the point where I can comfortably see and hear spirits with my third eye.

For anyone, I highly suggest using some sort of divination method to read what spirits are telling you. Pendulum, runes, and tarot are most common. Keep in mind, when you use these for spirit communication, you will need to avoid putting your own energy into them so the reading doesn’t get mixed up or end up reading you instead. Practice reading other people first to help with this.

Spirit Stage

So now about spirits. Once again, remember, spirits have their souls. They have emotions. They make choices. They have personalities. This means they are capable of both helping and harming you. I don’t really believe in “good” and “evil” since it is relative to everyone’s beliefs. Instead, I believe that every spirit is capable of positive and malicious intent. Please remember this: Spirits can hurt you. But also, don’t judge a book by its cover. Just be cautious.

How do I get in contact with a spirit?

I would suggest starting with a deity you trust and feel close to. Deities have an energy that can be easier to read, and you may already have a relationship with this deity. You can also reach out to spirits in an area that you feel is safe.

First of all, with any entity, you should remain respectful and treat them like you would any person you meet for the first time. Introduce yourself (out loud or projecting gently through your mind is fine) and ask if they would like to introduce themselves. Use your divination method to help receive answers.

Trust your intuition. If you feel unsafe, say goodbye and ward up more. Banish them if they won’t leave you alone.  Give yourself a good cleanse as soon as you can.

But also, trust your intuition in how the spirit feels as well. If you sense they are uncomfortable, apologize and back off. Some spirits are shyer than others- others may not feel like interacting.

Don’t feel frustrated if your first few tries are unsuccessful, it happens! This is one of the most difficult skills to get in my opinion, and can take a while to master.

I also highly suggest having a look at this pretty good thoughtform post

Good luck and I hope this helps!

Mom is under the weather so the witchcraft is real in this house tonight. Illness be gone, I don’t have time for your shit.

[manicbucket]

mind if I ask for the recipe? :)

[littlewitchlingrowan]

No, not at all! 😊 This is a family recipe that I swear by. It never, ever fails me.

Alright, this is a chicken soup recipe, so there will be meat products being used. I figure I oughta give that disclaimer since I don’t know who may be vegetarian/vegan.

Now onto your ingredients: -Two boxes of store bought chicken broth -One white onion -Garlic (I use the pre-minced store garlic because a) it saves time and b) it’s much easier to infuse into the broth) -Celery -Carrots -Wide egg noodles -Chicken bouillon cubes -Salt -Pepper -Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs.

Directions:

Get yourself a big ass soup pot, toss in your chicken, chicken broth and fill the rest of the way with water (you want your pot about ¾ full). Put it on high and vent your lid. Par boil your chicken until it begins trying to boil over then reduce heat to med-high and let simmer. This is where you get your rich, hearty stock from. The broth, fat from the skin and marrow from the bones do wonderful things together, let me tell you.

While this happens, dice your carrots and celery ahead of time and set them aside. Once your chicken is done (it’ll look kinda gray and yellow instead of white and pink), pluck it out of the pot into a large bowl. Move your pot off the heat so it doesn’t cook out your stock. One by one, move a thigh into a seperate bowl and proceed to shred your chicken. (Pro-tip, if you have a hand mixer or food processor, this process can go much faster as long as the bones are removed)

Next, put in your veggies and noodles with the shredded chicken. Next comes spices. Add pepper and salt to taste (you can always do a little at a time if you’re worried about going overboard) along with about 4-5 bouillon cubes. If you have minced garlic, add about 4 spoonfuls (the little spoons) into the broth. If you have whole cloves, smash em and mince the shit out of them, about 6 big ones, and toss them in.

Stir really well (I always stir both clockwise and counter to banish sickness and draw wellness). Set the pot back on the heat (remember, med-high) and let that sucker cook until the noodles are just at al-dente. You don’t want em too squishy and mushy. Take this time while the noodles cook to taste your broth repeatedly. You want to taste the all the components strongly without them being too overpowering. Basically, if it burns your throat pleasantly and makes your nose tickle, you got yourself a badass broth.

Once done, serve with fresh cracked pepper and a big ass glass of water or vitamin c rich juice. Remember to remove the pot from the heat even after it’s off so it doesn’t continue to cook out your broth and over-tenderize your noodles.

To store: let the soup cool completely and transfer to a big tupperware and refrigerate. Eat the rest within the next 2 days.

Stay well or get better this season!

Well this is going in my receipe book!

[littlewitchlingrowan]

Holy crow is this getting notes! While I’m here, I’d like to mention that this soup is going to make you pretty tired. I made this for my sister two months ago and right after she finished, she laid down and slept for 10 hours straight and woke up with a face full of snot but clear sinuses. Tonight, mom ate her bowl and took a 4 hour nap on the couch. She just wandered off to bed after telling me her sinuses and chest already feel much clearer and her throat barely hurts. I’m not sure what it is about this soup, but it knocks you clean out and goes straight to work on what ails you. So be cautious about driving or anything of the sort after eating this. Not that it has the same sedative capabilities as say, morphine, but I would recommend finding a cozy place to curl up afterwards on the off chance you do end up feeling drowsy, just to err on the side of caution. I’d also like to mention that I am in no way a doctor so don’t take my advice in lieu of medical assistance! Please, if you can, seek a doctor first as always. This is purely meant to be used in a supplementary fashion in addition to medication. Okay I’ll leave you guys alone now, I’ve talked your ears off enough.

To Give the Evil Eye

You’ll always see spells and charms to counter it, but few teach the skill anymore.  There are different ways to do it, but in all evil eye spells one thing is made known.  The curse is given through the left eye of the witch.  So, if it’s in passing, stare at the target with your left eye open and the right closed, pushing your malice through your gaze and into them. Whisper a malediction against them. “Your wealth will dwindle.” “Your love will break.” “Your life will topple.”  If you’re both sitting still, you have more time. Stare at them with your left eye. Make the sign of the horns and utter a curse at them while doing this.  I’ve also seen the middle finger be referred to as the ‘finger of damnation’, so I suppose if you’re fighting with someone, and you flipped them off and ever so slyly winked at them with your right eye while pushing the curse through your left eye, it might be successful.  Many sources say that it’s more effective if you make eye contact while you do this. The curse goes from the witch’s eye straight into their target’s eye, and according to most folklore on eyes, their soul.
