Witchy Tip
If you just âhave a feelingâ or think you know something, trust yourself. It doesnât matter if it doesnât seem logical, it doesnât matter if you donât consider yourself empathic, claircognizant, or clairsentient. If you think you should stop whatever youâre doing, be it spell or mundande task, stop. If you think you should walk a different way, do it. Your intuition will guide you and warn you of events to come, and guide you to exactly where you need to be and when. You have spirits, guides, angels, ancestors, elementals, deities, or whatever else looking after you. If something seems right, it probably is. This being said, donât get paranoid about every thought you have coming true. If itâs something you need to know, youâll just know.

Beginner Witch Tips
WARNING: I am a sarcastic butthole and it shows through out this hot mess of a post. This is some random craft junk I have learned in my days of practicing witchcraft
Witch craft is not magic.
I donât care what you have heard. Witchcraft is not magic. It can not turn your eyes different colors. It can not make you into a animal. You will not be able to control the weather or summon wind with your fingers. Ghosts will not do as you say. This is not Harry Potter. Case closed
Intent over tools
Do you think itâs gonna matter if you use a butter knife as an athame? Or you have to sub a white candle for another color because you donât have the funds to buy that color? Or you had to leave out an ingredient because you donât have it or youâre allergic? No, itâs not. Witchcraft (to me) is about mind over matter. If you are making an effort for your God/god/goddess/deity/elf/fae/etc it isnât gonna matter what or how you got there, but the intent you had getting there
Cursing and hexing is up to you and your beliefs
Totally up to you if you believe that this is okay or not. However, if you donât like this, do not go and tell someone else itâs wrong. If they ask you how you feel you can tell them itâs not your thing. If you do like this, do not go and tell someone else itâs fine and try to get them to accept it. If they ask you about it, you can tell them that you are into it
You do not have to have an alter
Itâs up to you and your practice. And if you can where you are etc. If you want one and can not have one, draw one or, my favorite, Set up a pinterest board for your god/goddess/fae/elf/deity etc. and save things that you thing relate to them.
Itâs not about fancy stuff
This goes back to intent over tools, as long as you are comfortable with what you are doing and using, do it and use it. I use salsa and yogurt containers, coffee filters taped together, M&M tubes, and envelopes to keep crap in. I use a 99¢ Wal-Mart bandanna to do spells on that I got from Girl Scout camp and it has rainbow peace signs all over it. Do I care? Nope. Does anyone else care or will they judge you? Nope. we are all in the same boat here.
Hand making things is way too underrated Â
I LOVE hand making things. Whether you are good or bad at it, it is a good way to save money, and personalize it just for you. Example: I made tarot cards out of printer paper that I cut out and wrote the card name, and definition of what it means (to me) and I love them. Pencil wand? Yas queen. DIY cauldron out of play-dough? Frick me u p daddy.
DONT EAT/SMOKE/DRINK SOMETHING YOU HAVE NO CLUE ABOUT
Youâd think I would have to include this bUT Some things are okay to consume. Sometimes if taking a certain medicine you canât consume that. Sometimes you are allergic to one thing, and in turn you will be allergic to that thing too. Sometimes you are pregnant and itâS HIGHLY DANGEROUS TO CONSUME THINGS WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT IT DOES
Never ignore professional medical advice and help in favor of witchcraft methods.
Case c l o s e d
Spirit workers
Not nice spirits can attach to people who have depression and anxiety more so than people who donât
There are good and bad spirits. if one makes you feel comfomy, do not feel bad for asking it to leave/getting rid of it
Donât ask your tarot cards every time you have a question
This happens a lot. Especially when you get a new deck and itâs so new and shiny and you canât w a i t to get your grubby little hands on it and do crap >:D but you donât want to get into the habbit of âohgoshgollybatman I have to go to the store, okay letâs see if Iâll get hit by a car⌠oh and do I really need the applejuice..â  or âdo I REALLY need this plant..â bc the answer to that is always yes duh
Divination is not for predicting the future
Now stay with me, it is for guiding you in the future. It can not tell you what day you are going to die, who you are going to marry, etcÂ
The future is not written in stone
Letâs sayyyyy you do a simple past, present, and future reading with tarot, and you get a bad reading for the future, it doesnât matter. That is how it is going right now, now you can see what you need to change etcÂ
You dont need a fancy journal for a grimore or book of shawdows
Heckadoodle I use a binder and notebook paper so I can move stuff around. I just write with a pencil and pen, and color with dollar store crayons or collered pencils. Now, you may be thinking, âOh but, itâs a nice binder right?â Lemme stop you right there. It is falling apart, needs to be ducktaped, has a picture of my doggo inside and Iâve used it for school for abouutt.. 7 years? Summinâ it up: It donât gotta be fancy
If you forget to blow out candles set a timer on your phone
I do this all the freaking time and Iâll leave a candle out, and then here comes mother. Closet underage witches know the struggle. Trying to explain why you have a burning candle left in your room. Or if you are adult and have to adult after a spell or whatever and leave the house and come back to the candle just sittinâ there. Burning away. (my mom did this once and it caught her table on fire) Timer. Yep.
You donât have to know a certain languageÂ
This is more focused to me bc i am nerd but okie dokie I know Latin from school, therefore I mix it into my spells (like some on @witchy-recipes-and-things) and provide a translation. I donât want anyone to think you have to have a certain language for your craft.
How to Ouija
Tbh this is too long already so if you want another post on it tell me and Iâll make one and link it
Sigils can be drawn everywhere
In your phone case, in your wallet, in a shoe, under fingernail polish, under seats, wherever whatever-I can also elaborate more on this
TAROT IS PRONOUNCED âTAROâ
CONSENT IS KEY
When doing love spells, consent from the other person is a must.Â
You can be a christian, athiest, pagan, whatever, and still do witchcraft
It is about the craft, not religionÂ
Witchcraft is not a religion, Wicca is
And you do not have to be Wiccan to partake in Witchcraft
Sage doesnât have to be in cone shape to burn it
I put rubbed sage meant for cooking on a metal plate and torch the sucker Shane Dawson style but with one of the long lighters, then run around my house in my underware screaming âMAY THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPEL YOU BITCHâ in Latin
When cleansingÂ
OPEN.THE.WINDOWS.WHEN.DEALING.WITH.SMOKE Trust your witch mother who is allergic to everything and is an asthmatic, open the windows and doors. Also, as the smoke leaves you room through the windows or whatever, the spirits/bad vibes/etc leave with it
You donât have to believe everything you read
Witchcraft is how YOU feel about things. No matter how other people feel about things
You can have your own corresponces for things
Like I think cinnamon is hot, deals with the sun, direction south, used for healing love etc., but it can be totally different for you
Divination doers do not have to be witches and witches do not have to be divination doers
S T U D Y
Can not stress this enough. This is the best thing to do even if you can not practice your craft where you are atm. knowledge is power.
So here is a list Iâve complied :D (yes Iâve made all of these, I was too bored to ask peopleâs permission to add things, sue me) (All of the spells are all religion inclusive)

MCâs Guidebook: Knot Magic
I personally live for Knot/Cord magic. It is easy to use and to learn, perfect for the baby witch who doesnât know where to start when casting their first spell. I also havenât found a non-wiccan source for Knot Magic at all, so Iâm going to make one that goes into it a little more for you guys!
ââââ
What is Knot/Cord Magic?
Knot/Cord Magic is pretty simple. It is a type of magic that uses string as the spell itself.
How Does Knot Magic Work?
For Wiccanâs(usually) knot magic is done with a 9 inch piece of string(or by traditional wicca itâs nine feet) and as you chant a nine line poem/chant as you tie each knot into the string(at equal intervals). This is the spell over all. The way it works is you are putting your intent into each knot you are tying and it holds that intent until you are ready for the spell to end.
What Can it Be Used For?
Knot Magic can be used for any type of spell, from curses to love. The Possibilities are endless!
What Do I Need To Know For Knot Magic?
Some Basics for Knot Magic Would be:
The History of Knot Magic
The Basic Chant of Knot Magic
Color Magic(Some not a lot)
Some Numerology
Some ability to visualize/meditate/placing intent into something
What Do I Need For Knot Magic?
Some String/Ribbon/Yarn
Intent
A Chant(Made or Pre-written)
How Do I Cast a Knot Magic Spell?
Casting a Knot magic spell is simple. Most of the time you are tying knots as you think of your intent until you reach the number nine or, until you feel you are done^^ The intent or better known as the Chant can be thought or spoken aloud.
How Does Knot Magic Work?
Knot Magic works by holding your intent inside each knot you make. If your intent is different for each knot, then as a whole the knot spell will use all of the intents and work together.
Where Can I Do Knot Magic?
Thatâs the amazing part about knot magic. You can do it literally everywhere! No on is going to really question why you have a little but of yarn or sting on you. Itâs amazing.
Why Use Knot Magic?
Itâs simple. Itâs easy to learn. And its good to use when you have to be discrete about casting a spell!
How Do I Disassemble My Knot Spell?
You untie each knot you made really. Especially if you no longer have a use for the knot spell anymore. For traditional Wicca Knot magic(with the nine knots) youâre supposed to untie one knot a day until there are no more knots to untie.
What Can Be Considered Knot Magic?
Making bracelets/friendship bracelets
Knitting
Crocheting
Braiding
Macrame
Embroidering
Thereâs probably more to this, but right now this is all I can think of!Â

What to use when in Witchcraft -
Ok so I am gonna say this is my personal reference, its mainly through associations. You might TOTALLY disagree and thats chill!
Its more something to think about and a guideline of what I use myselfâŚ
Candle Magic:
Carve a candle whenâŚ. the candle represents the target, in sympathetic magic. When, essentially, the candle is a poppet and lighting it is a symbol of destruction or empowerment to the target.
Place something under the candle or before it when⌠you are doing general candle magic, when the candle represents empowering a wish, idea or concept.
Anoint the candle when⌠doing work with spirits and gods, when you mark the candle for a special purpose, when doing high magic.
Herbs and plant work:
Use dry herbs when⌠it is convienent to do so, when the herbs are out of season or when you need to store them in a jar or bottle for a long time.
Use fresh herbs when⌠the spell is very earth orientated, when doing magic on behalf of another or when the magic is sympathetic so that the herbs represent the target, within kitchen witchery.
Use flowers when⌠when the spell concerns love and sex, or perhaps fertility and attraction, due to flowers being the reproductive parts of the plant.
Use fruit when when⌠working with children as a target, or with children practising. When you work with fertility and abundance spells.
Use wood and twigs when⌠when the spell is for protection or binding, for hardiness.
Burn herbs (recaning/incense) when⌠you wish to cleanse or banish, or invoke an atmosphere - that being, for divination using herbs that are said to open up your perceptions, when banishing, burning acrid or pungent herbs.
Use oil infusions when⌠you wish to anoint something, when you wish to mark something permanently.
Use floral waters (rose water etc) when⌠dealing with spirits and gods, for glamour as it has a long history of being used to beautify.
Crystals:
Use metals (haematite, copper, ores etc..) when⌠you work in protection, when you do energy work due to the conductive properties of metal.
Use shell, pearl, coral and such when⌠you work in sea magic, when you work within emotional magic due to the element of water.
Use points when⌠you wish to direct magic to a target.
Use tumble stones when⌠you wish the magic to be gentle or manifest at a certain place on the body on a target.
Use geodes when⌠you work in protection, when you work with glamour aimed to obscure and hide.
Knot magic:
Use cotton when⌠it is convenient.
Use silk when⌠doing spells that benefit the target.
Use ribbons when⌠love spells and wealth spells, as well as confidence and beauty spells. Spells to ensure victory.
Use rope when⌠doing spells that aim to hurt or weaken the target, binding especially.
Poppets:
Use cloth when⌠the spell aims to benefit who the poppet represents, use particular care when sewing or cutting, choose colours that are appropriate to them.
Use wax when⌠you wish to manipulate the target.
Use clay when⌠wish to create fetches or servitors, when you wish to create permanency.
Use twigs when⌠you wish to bury or throw the poppet out, when you want the poppet to be easily destroyed by breaking or setting on fire.
Sigils:
Use an alphabet grid or circle when⌠you wish the sigil to be more random and less attached to you.
Combine the shapes of letters from a sentence⌠when your sigil is very specific and a short term goal.
Use your own personal symbols when⌠you want the magic to be connected to you, when it is personal.
Single Word Spells
Because Iâm lazy and donât like to monologue while Iâm doing a spell, hereâs a couple of the single word spells I use in my personal practice.
absum - to make something be concealed from sight
   Ⳡdef. to be away, be missing
advoco - summoning spell
   Ⳡdef. to summon
casso - destruction spell
   Ⳡdef. to destroy, make void
bellus - glamour spell
   Ⳡdef. beautiful, charming, handsome
explico - reveal information
   Ⳡdef. explanation, to unfold
mutare - transmutation
   Ⳡdef. to change
cessabit - calming spell
   Ⳡdef. to rest, be free of
uro - burning
   Ⳡdef. to burn, inflame
conturbo - invoke confusion
   Ⳡdef. confound, to throw into confusion
taceo - to silence
   Ⳡdef. shut up
Yâall asked for it so yâall gonna get it! Iâmma start off with the barebones essentials and work my way to basic definitions. Sit down on something comfy and get yourself your warm beverage of choice and maybe grab a notebook because here goes.
What are runes?
Runic alphabets have been around since about 150 AD and used as a writing system by a lot of Germanic languages. These systems were eventually phased out, slowly but surely, with the progressive Christianisation that started around 700-1100 AD. The three most commonly known (and used?) Are the Elder Futhark, the Younger Futhark and Futhorc.
Runes arenât, themselves, broadly meant for divination, thought there are a few passages in the Eddas that mention Odin âfindingâ and using them.
Alright, so which alphabet should I use?
Whichever one you want! I prefer using the Elder Futhark, because itâs the first alphabet I learned and got familiar with, but that doesnât at all stop you from using the Younger Futhark or Futhorc. Iâd heavily suggest making sure you read up on the differences in each alphabet though; Ansuz, for example, wonât look the same, mean the same or even be called the same from one alphabet to another.Â
Familiarize yourself with each of them if you want/can, and choose based on your own preferences and criteria. Always work with what feels best for you!
But Iâm not really familiar with Germanic traditions / Iâm a baby witch, should or can I use runes for divination?
This is the concept that got my goat real good the first time. You do not, in any way, shape or form, need to be experienced to cast runes. This is a notion that is outdated and perpetuated by gatekeepers and exclusionists. No one gives a flying flip how long youâve been practicing witchcraft, or if you even practice at all!
Divination should be seen as a tool to further yourself and/or your craft. It can be used by itself or in conjunction with other activities, practices or beliefs. I was 15 when I started learning about runes (dear god that was literally over ten years ago) and I had no idea what I was doing back then. I read up as much as I could about the system I was wanting to use and, once I was comfortable with it, I started doing small readings.
It shouldnât matter how new or familiar you are to divination, rune casting or Germanic traditions. If rune casting feels right to you, you are more than free to use whatever divination method feels right to you.
What should I do before I start a reading?
As a Norse Pagan, I usually invoke my patron deities (Baldr and Loki, in this case), as well as Odin and Freyja, sometimes Gullveig/Heiðr because reasons. I have no idea whether or not this has any actual bearing on the reading itself, as mine were as accurate before I converted as they are now.
Making sure youâre in a quiet and/or comfortable space is also a good idea, even if that just means popping in some earphones and listening to something that makes you focus and feel calm.
This is also a good time to mention that cleansing your runes (stone, bone, wood or otherwise) is a very good idea. I typically do this with candles, incense, a bowl of water and a point of quartz for each element. I donât do this nearly as often as I probably should, since most people suggest cleansing them after each reading⌠but, whatever, being lax with that hasnât bitten me in the ass so far. So if youâre a spoonie, donât worry: cleanse your runes when you feel they need to be cleansed, and thatâs it.
Alright, I think Iâm ready; how do I start reading?
Let me start by saying that the bullshit about never reading yourself? Itâs just that. Bullshit. Do readings on yourself if you want to. Who the hell is going to stop you. Do whatever you want.
On that note, there are a few ways to cast runes, though these probably arenât close to being the only ones:Â
Intuitively choosing the stones Lay the runes down on a flat surface and let your hand hover over them and pick out the ones that feel right. You can either pick them in order of the spread youâre using, or place the runes where you feel they belong on the spread.
Throwing the stones Make sure you have a large flat surface to work with (preferably the floor honestly) where you wonât drop, scatter or lose a rune. You can use a mat underneath, and read the stones that fall on the corresponding positions in the spread or circle. (You can find many of these with a quick google search, or make your own mat!) Otherwise, you can take the first stones you see facing up and lay those out according to your spread.
Picking them blindly Either you or the person youâre reading pull stones blinding out of a pouch, bag or other container, and lay them out according to the spread youâre using. Pretty straightforward.
If you can think of another method, literally nothing is stopping you from using that instead. The runes are acting as a universal translator for whatever it is youâre tapping into. Theyâre just a tool to receive a message. How you choose to receive that message is completely up to you!
So Iâve got my runes laid out, now what?
Now comes the fun part. I can only really give you a good run-down of the Elder Futhark, and though itâs a good starting point, I would highly advise you do your own research on whatever alphabet you want to use. Wikipedia is a great place to start, but donât stop there: look at several different websites and lists and compare. Combine and condense the information for yourself, and get to learn the definitions and meanings for yourself!

Phew! What a list. These are just brief descriptions and meanings that Iâve been able to compile and condense over the years.
But, what does âopposedâ mean?
I see where youâre coming from. As a baby diviner, I, also, was confused by this. But let me explain how Iâve come to understand it!Â
Sometimes, if youâre doing a set spread, youâll have a spot for things like, âwhat will oppose youâ, or âwhat you need to avoidâ. Things like that. If, say, a rune like Suwilo was found in something like that, youâd want to try and keep a sharp mind to avoid deceptions or letting yourself be too gullible.
When runes donât have a reversed form, their position in your spread will usually determine what they mean. (Though really this is true for literally any rune.)
Anything else I should know?
The best advice I can ever give anyone is to always do what you feel is right. If you find yourself wondering, âShould I do this? Is this right?â If you question yourself at all, you should probably not to the thing and go with something else.
Itâs also important to mention that the names I have for the runes may not be the ones that youâve learned to know them by; a lot of runes can go by different names depending on who you ask and where you look. Do your research, and know the runes by the names you feel are best! (And preferably historically accurate.)
As always, if you have any questions regarding runes and how to read them, please ask me! My ask box is literally always open and almost always empty.

Love this list. Just be mindful with the teas and check with your doctor first before drinking them, especially if you are on meds, in particular antidepressants, as the herbal teas can conflict with them.
^^ Adding on, St. Johnâs Wort conflicts with antidepressants and can cause serotonin syndrome which results in an unpleasant trip to the hospital. Read the labels on calming tea blends before ingesting!
