Looking for witchy pen pals over 18 and in the US

I’m a hearth witch but interested in snail mailing with any and all paths and maybe sending little trinkets and such from time to time. I honestly just want more witch friends and more mail so two birds one stone.

Interested in talking: witchcraft, DIYing, house and home, cooking/baking, and that general life stuff that comes out in letters.

If you’re interested, DM me the things you’re interested in talking about (or anything you aren’t into talking about?) in letters and we can trade addresses for mailing

🌻 how i flower press!

is your book of shadows looking a bit bland? mine was. i managed to fix that by pressing some flowers!

but some of us don’t have the patience to wait for them to dry, only to find they haven’t turned out well at all. i sure don’t.

instead, I use a quicker technique!

what you’ll need:

🌻 a selection of flowers that you want to press (have some to test first)

🌻 paper towel

🌻 a heavy, microwave safe object.

🌻 a microwave!

all you have to do is place your flowers between two sheets of paper towel, and press a heavy object on top, and pop all of this in the microwave for about 30 seconds to a minute. it will start to stink about half way through- this is a sign you need to change your paper towel. after that’s done, simply glue them in your book!

How to make paper ; using paper i. Gather old documents or newspaper and rip them into small pieces, cover with water and stir thoroughly. This mixture can be left overnight (or carefully heated) until the pieces dissolve into a pulp. The longer it’s left and more frequently it’s stirred, the smoother it will be ii. Once most of the water is absorbed and it looks pretty mushy, add a few drops of essential oils and combine the herbs or flower petals (if desired). Squish the last bit of liquid out with your hands and begin assembling the shape on an old or dark coloured towel iii. Sandwich the sheet by folding the towel or placing another on top and press down firmly, flip over and repeat on a dry section. After a few times extra newspaper can be used. Leave it to dry overnight (or for a few days). Once they’re nearly dried place the pages under a heavy book to keep them flat

Wax Seal Charms

From simple love spells to glamours and hexes, wax seal charms are a powerful and versatile tool for any witch’s arsenal. Small, inconspicuous, and easy to hide, these simple charms are useful for nearly any type of magick.

First, you will need a smooth work surface (I used the bottom of a ceramic bowl). Fold a small envelope from a square of paper. You want the envelope to be the same size as or smaller than the wax seal to ensure complete wax coverage.

Next, write your intent (or draw a sigil) on the inside of the envelope. Keep it simple or write very small.

You can add a small pinch of herbs (or a taglock) if you like, but try not to use too much or the charm won’t flatten and may not seal correctly.

Once you’ve added your herbs, fold the envelope shut. You may need to squish it a little to keep it closed.

Pour your wax over the envelope, making sure to cover any open edges, and place your stamp in the molten wax. Apply light pressure for a few moments and then allow to cool.

Once completely cool, remove your stamp and peel the charm off your work surface.

And voila! A small, portable charm that can easily be slipped into a purse or wallet unnoticed.

[moonkissedgrimoire]

Oh! This is how I used to do my first few spells. It’s perfect.

[the-fox-jawed-witch]

I’ve been using a lot of wax for my sigil spells.

[pacificnorthwitch]

I do this but instead of the wax seal at the end, I place it under a pillar candle in a container and let the candle burn down and the melted wax collect underneath and around the paper charm. Still hidden, and by the time the candle is out most of the charm is hidden and can be discreetely disposed of.

A spell to cut someone/something out of your life

Inspired by Istus (a goddess in dnd, used a lot in TAZ).

If you have followed my tumblr you might know I had a messy break up a few months back. I felt I was holding onto the relationship, holding on because I felt that the guy deserved his just desserts, some kind of vindication for how he made me feel. But then I realized, I didn’t need that negativity in my life. So I made this spell to cut him from the cloth that is my life. It’s knitting based and super simple, but it got the job done.

Components:

Yarn to represent you (I used rainbow yarn because I’m not straight)

Yarn to represent the person/thing you want to cut from your life (I used red because he is heavily associated with red. The yarn was also super scratchy and shitty)

Knitting needles (any size that works with your yarn)

Crochet hook (optional, but if you like casting off that way go for it)

A song to play on repeat (or multiple songs) that give you a vibe that helps you move on (I listened to “Guiltless” and “Monster” by doddie).

Scissors

Spell

Put that song on repeat. And think about how you don’t need this person/thing anymore, and although they are part of your past, they don’t have to be part of your present. You can remember they were there, but you don’t have to keep them close to you.

Cast on as many or as few stitches in your color as you want (ie I did 22 stitches in rainbow for me age).

Knit for as long as you feel is necessary, could be 10 rows, could be 100 rows, whatever you feel is necessary.

Then knit with both colors. I did this by just having a long tail for my red yarn and just knitting it in along with my rainbow as I started a new row. Knit as long as you feel you need, then stop knitting with both colors.

Knit with your color as long as you need to, cast off.

Now, cut just the color for the person/thing you want out of your life. Cut it right out of your cloth. (I cut it in multiple places and tugged each small section out, like removing the guy from my life.)

Yes, he left behind a section with a weird gauge, and it will always be there, but focusing on him made me feel negative, so removing him made me feel my best again.

I hope this helps someone. And feel free to change it up. If you try it out, please tag me <3 I would love to support y’all if I can.

Oh my god, food extract is not the same as an essential oil.

Food extract is the flavoring of something cooked down into a carrier oil or alcohol that is safe for human ingestion.

Essential oil is the pure extract of the plant refined down and distilled for concentrated medicinal purposes to a significantly higher strength than simply adding ground up mint leaves to your water. The two are not comparable in any way.

Cinnamon extract and cinnamon essential oil are not the same thing.

One is about 100 times the strength of the other and can also cause acute organ failure. I’ll give you a hint, it’s not the food extract.

Sweet gods I’m not trying to be mean, I want you to be aware and safe and stop putting yourselves and others at risk. Please.

[thebibliosphere]

Like maybe my tone is hard to read, maybe it just comes off as really angry but it’s not, it’s fear and worry. I read posts and clutch my head in alarm going “no! No! That’s how people die!” And then I get exasperated because a bunch of people not formally qualified chime in with “um actually this is a lie” and it’s not, it’s really, really not.

I’m not some big pharma advocate. I’m a crunchy witch hippy just like you with salt rock lamps and rose quartz all over my house. I just happen to have spent the last 15 years of my life studying the actual science of holistic medicines and I’m trying to help you not get hurt (or worse) becuase you trusted a sales person with no idea what the ever loving hell they were talking about beyond a sales pitch designed to maximize profit. Gah.

[thewoonderkabinett]

I see this so often in the Mommy world. There was a lady not long ago in one of the mom groups who was really worried about her toddler. He’d had a persistent cough for weeks and the doctor couldn’t figure out why. Someone asked, well what have to tried to treat it with, so far? She said she was using a humidifier, honey, and eucalyptus EO in the shower every night.

Yeah.

In case you were wondering, eucalyptus can cause respiratory distress in young children.

[thebibliosphere]

Sadly I don’t wonder. I have a friend whose daughter died from a home made menthol oil chest rub. She wasn’t even ten yet, but her mom– a qualified aromatherapist– thought she’d be old enough to handle it. She went into respitory distress and died seizing in her mother’s arms on route to the hospital. It was one of the most harrowing stories I had to listen to during my holistic training. She stood up there, on this podium next to a bunch of ponzy scheme essential oil sellers who looked like they wanted the floor to swallow them, and said “I killed my child with good intentions”.

I’ll never forget the look on her face.

So to reiterate, children under the age of ten should not be directly exposed to things like eucalyptus oil, peppermint or wintergreen. If you are using such things in your house and your child starts to complain of headaches, lethargy and general “feel worse”, don’t just assume it’s the cold/flu. Those are all signs of menthol sensitivity and they only get worse with increased exposure. Ventilate the room, take them outside if you can until the air clears. Do not apply again.

Rapid onset wheezing may be a sign of allergic reaction or possible asthma attack triggered by the menthol too. If they tell you their chest is warm or fuzzy when you use it, that’s another sign it’s not going down well with them. Again, ventilate the area or remove anything you applied to them. Administer inhalers if necessary. Watch for any more labored breathing or if they suddenly go limp or you can’t wake them up. If they do call 911.

This can also apply to people with allergies and asthma who are otherwise healthy.

One of the safest, natural ways to alleviate congestion is with just pure good old fashioned warm steam. Keep the air moist, drink plenty of warm fluids. Menthol can help relieve the feeling of congestion, but there’s limited evidence to suggest it actually clears the airways. And for the love of god don’t inhale mustard or horseradish (I’ve seen that suggestion on posts too, though how you’d get those oils I don’t know). That’s literally what tear gas is made of.

[dxmedstudent]

When I worked in paediatrics, I did occasionally have to treat kids who’d been exposed to essential oils (usually accidentally); fortunately all were OK in the end. The toxbase entries detailing the risks are pretty interesting; we worry a lot about drug overdoses, but really, lots of chemicals, even everyday ones, can be dangerous if used inappropriately. With kids or pets, the dosage needed to cause harm can be much smaller because they are much smaller. So a dosage that wouldn’t cause you any harm as an adult might be dangerous for them. Please only ever use any agent, as it is explicitly explained on the packaging. If it does not say that it is safe for children, do not give it to your children. If it does not explicitly say it is safe for pets, do not give it to your pet. If you do not know exactly what is in something, and the safety profile, interactions and side effects of that treatment, do not take it. Just because a medication is holistic, or herbal, or whatever you want to call it, doesn’t mean it isn’t pharmacologically active, or a drug. It’s just less refined than something created in the lab, but it still has the potential to be dangerous if used inappropriately. And please never forget to mention herbal or holistic remedies to your doctor, too.  They can interact with regular medictions and cause real problems.

[urban-witch-tales]

READ ALL OF THIS!!

Especially those with kids!

Being a witch is great, and being a mommy witch is even better but do your research!! Don’t put your kids in harms way trying to do things the witchy way.

Interesting Folk Magic: Pregnancy Edition

There’s a waitress at a diner in my hometown that’s pregnant, and my grandpa told me it was a boy. I asked how he knew, and he said if it was carried low, it was a boy, but if it was carried high it was a girl. He then told me that if you used a pencil like a pendulum over the pregnant person’s wrist, it will go in circles for a boy and back and forth for a girl. He told me he did it for all of his grandkids (there are six of us) and it was right every time.

[trollkatt]

This exists in Norway, too, except instead of a pencil as a pendulum, we use the wedding ring of the pregnant woman attached onto a hair-straw of hers. I was taught this by one of my aunts.

[liache]

ok kids repeat after me

vinegar and bleach makes chlorine gas, which is highly toxic

ammonia and bleach makes chloramine, which is highly toxic

rubbing alcohol and bleach makes chloroform, which is highly toxic

hydrogen peroxide and vinegar makes peracetic/peroxyacetic acid, which can be highly corrosive

be careful about your cleaning products and dont get yourself injured or potentially killed ok

[gutsygills]

why it so dangerous to be clean

[catholic-aviator-deactivated201]

As someone who’s job is to handle chemicals like this, I need to state that this information is IMPORTANT. Plenty of people have accidentally injured or killed themselves at home because they didn’t know what kind of reaction certain substances have with one another. Play it safe and don’t mix chemicals.

[thegoodfoothousehold]

Also don’t use bleach to clean up urine it’ll create chloramine bc of the ammonia in it and you can give yourself chemical pnemonia that way

[terr0rvision-deactivated2012072]

Tips for 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

[theleveretpath]

Oh, guys. Oh. Guys. This, if you’re ever stuck on how to perform a spell! Handy little guide of awesome.

[greysorcery-deactivated20200709]

If you want to work with ancestors or guardian spirits, put it to the North. If you want to work from a place of innocence, put it to the South. If you want its effect to be strong and quick, burn it. If you want it to curse- burn it then bury in the West of a crossroads. If you want to break curses, soak it in water in the West.  If you want to add extra power to your spell, dance before dealing with the incantation. If you want it to work by means of spirits, call to the directions If you want it to work by demons, put it in the forever-dark place If you want it to work by angels, burn then put ashes into sanctified water. If you want it to cleanse, shred it and bind in a bundle of sage. If you desire freedom from a situation- do it behind your back.

To be a Local Witch

Throughout history and our legends, Witches and Wizards were the crazy men and women that lived on the outskirts of the village. Their craft was wild and strange to those that lived in the village, but, nonetheless, people would seek after their wisdom of the land, the plants, the local spirits, and for wisdom or guidance in their path. These men and women, often bachelors, would know the ins and outs of the region and often went walking alone. 

Today, our villages are less rustic and more like local towns, and suburbs. But one can still be a Local Witch, and develop special connections with the land you call home. 

Become a Local Witch: 

Learn Local Lore Folktales, legends, and even tall tales develop the culture of a town or area. Learn these. Retell them over summer campfires, and over drinks with friends. People will start to LOVE your stories. 

Start Frequenting locally owned shops and stores Develop connections and relationships with the owners and those that work there every day. Learn their names, and introduce yourself after visiting more often. Supporting locally owned shops helps small business owners and provides nourishment to your community. This is putting down roots, and develops your connection with the people that shape your town.

Find a Local Bookstore This is an extension of 1 and 2. Locally owned bookstores always have a Local Writers, Local Plants, and Local History sections. Ask inside where these sections are, and start devouring these books. Not only will you be supporting a local shop, but you have a direct source of helpful information. Oftentimes, employees and owners also know a lot of Lore. Talk to them about what you’re interested in learning. They probably have some hidden gems of information. 

Learn about your Indigenous Plants Start researching and learning about the flora that grows locally, learn their lore, their uses, and magical or folklore associations. If Natives from your area used these plants, find out how. Learn where these plants grow and research local foraging. If you’ve never foraged, see if you can find a local group that can serve as helpful guides to stay safe. Never ingest anything unless you are SURE. 

Start a local Plant Grimoire Keep dried presses of flowers and plants in it, draw and diagram to help you remember what they look like. 

Learn about the indigenous animals Research their folklore and mythology. Start finding out what they eat, and what their habitats are. (Safely) Do your part to help foster their growth and health. This could be making insect houses to help local endangered pollinators, or leaving out special birdseed for endangered bird species in the area. (Safely) Start interacting with the non-aggressive species and leave them treats. This is great for birds, deer, rabbits, moles, chipmunks, hedgehogs, etc 

Join local Conservation Projects  Getting directly involved in wildlife conservation strengthens our spiritual and natural ties to the land we call our home. Taking personal responsibility and interest in it’s stewardship is honoring the spirits of the land, and the Gods. 

Use Google Maps while exploring parks, or protected open spaces to drop pins and places where you find animal habitats or useful plants for foraging. 

That’s all for now. More will come later I’m sure. Now go be the best local Witch or Druid you can be!

Rest Charm

Components:

1'x6" rectangle of nighttime fabric

3" circle of yellow or blue felt

½ Tb Dried Vervain

½ Tb Dried Chamomile

½ Tb Died Lavender

Needle

Thread

Scissors

This handkerchief is a charm that goes under your pillow to encourage a good night’s rest.

First, fold your fabric into a square, making sure to tuck in the edges. Then, sew it closed, stopping with half of one side open.

Put your dried herbs into the pocket, and sew the rest of the way closed.

Shake the herbs into the center, and put into an embroidery hoop.

Cut the felt into a crescent moon, and stitch down onto the kerchief, trying to trap as much of the herb mixture under it as possible.

When finished, keep under your pillow
