20-something witch who likes yarn & jars

[notyourmothersspellbook]

best herbs to use in dick breaking spells?

A rare request! You can wound someone's dick by cutting the spike from a daffodil or lily, breaking it, and grinding it down. See here. You can also use a condom and puncture it with a rusted nail and cover it in things like black pepper, salt, hot pepper. You can also take the Adam part of Adam and Eve root and stab/cut/break it. You can also use a baculum (or penis bone) for this job!

really thinking about how well arts & crafts go with witchcraft

Fiber art being used for knot magick, weaving in intention, color magick, glamour wearables, also just making cool pouches or cloths

Resin art charms with sigils, herbs, crystal chips, and whatever else placed inside, also jar molds?? make your own jars?? yes please

Drawing/painting as a manifestation technique, putting color magick pieces up as decor to set the energy of a space, mixing herbs/herb water in with paint.

Like listen as an artist i put so much of myself into my artwork & my crafts. I dont know why I haven't included it in my practice sooner (PS if anyone has anything else to add please do, I want to find more ways to include art in my practice!)

Stitch-Craft

Hermit-Wizard's Custom Craft Series Pt. 5(?)

I crochet. Very basic crochet. If it's flat & single stitch, I can make it. If it's made of flat panels, I can make it. If it's circular? I digress.

But! Crochet is a repeated pattern of motion. Repeated patterns of motion are ways to unlock neuroplasticity.

Neuroplasticity is the state of mind our brains need to be in, in order to rewire our minds. (This works wonders if you're genuinely traumatized, by the way.)

When I crochet, I use numerology for stitch counts, colors for correspondences, and a whisper affirmations and spellwork into every stitch.

Right now, I'm working on an altar cloth for my deitie's space. (@uni-the-cat-god-of-self ). It's black, and 99 stitches wide. So, all purpose manifestation of the affirmations I feel align with my self development.

Green purse? Money.

Yellow backpack? Art stuff and inspo.

Brown potholders? Hearth magick, baby!

Red scarf for fire element to keep toasty in the winter

Pink face scrubber for glamour magic

Funny what a human can do with a piece of string, isn't it? I made an entire yoga mat (TWICE) using simple stitches and affirmations, and they just vibrate with the growth energies I imbued.

Think of the gifting capabilities! The card says: "Made with love, sweat, and a metric buttload of magick!"

So as always,

Go forth, get weird, and make cool shit

Digital shrines/altars!

I don't have one, but I'm currently brainstorming with someone on discord who is in the broom closet and looking for ideas. Here's what we've come up with so far:

On the more shrine-like end of things:

Mood boards

Pinterest boards

On the more altar-like end:

A private discord server where you can light emoji candles and incense, post devotional poetry, post sigils, etc.

Build an altar space in a video game like Minecraft or the Sims

If anyone has more ideas, I'd love to hear them!

Stitchcraft Correspondences

Lately in my grimoire, I’ve been working on stitchcraft, knitting, and fiber magick information. Thought I’d share! I couldn’t find a lot of stuff on this, so lemme know if you have information to fill in the gaps, or if I’ve forgotten something. I most definitely have not used every piece of this post in a single project, that would be overwhelming, I just pick and choose depending on what’s appropriate, realistic, and attainable for the project. 

Tools based on materials and purpose

Knitting/Sewing Needles - fire; the wands tarot suit; manifestation; turning nothing into something

Subcategories - aluminum needles for air, Mercury, communication, mental energy, making gifts for someone else to express something; bamboo needles for earth, prosperity, abundance, growth, attraction, finishing quickly and making lots and lots of lovely knitting; plastic needles for…air?, flexibility, durability, adaptability, and the ability to change and bend without breaking

Scissors - air; the swords tarot suit; judgement; clarity; banishing; “cutting back” on unwanted or excessive energies

Stitch Patterns based on the quality of the fabric it produces or the process of making the fabric

Garter/Stockinette/Ribbing/Moss - earth; strong foundations; grounding 

Cable - binding; protection; flow; cycles; attraction; earth or water *cables draw the fabric in as well as intertwine with other strands of knitting, great for drawing in or tying together energies

Stranded colorwork - protection; security; warmth; earth or fire *stranded knitting makes a very thick and warm fabric, that’s why it’s great for mittens and sweaters

Lace - air; wind; adaptability; flexibility; mental energy; clarity 

Waves/Chevron - water (duh); flow; emotions

Fiber Types based on the qualities the fiber has and the symbolism of the creature or plant it comes from *synthetic fibers also listed, had trouble with those, mostly based on how it behaves once it’s knitted

Wool - warmth; safety; protection; warding; new beginnings; spring; love; probably any element tbh

Mohair - air or fire; freedom; mental energy

Silk - the Moon; water or air; the underworld; shadow work; banishing; protection; binding

Cotton - water, air; strength; durability

Bamboo - earth; abundance; prosperity

Linen - water; flow; slow progress; adaptability; quiet but unyielding strength

Nylon - earth; strength; durability

Acrylic - water; flexible; adaptability, durability, longevity

Knitting Techniques based on what you’re doing with the fiber to make it do what you want

Steeking - banishing

Casting on - new beginnings

Binding off - binding

Weaving in ends - endings

Dropped stitches - dropping an unwanted energy

Intarsia/Shapes/Embedded Images - depends on what you’re putting in there, ex: hearts for love, moon for emotions or shadows, the sun for joy, spirals for progression and growth

Numerology use for pattern or stitch repeats/counts *I’m not great at numerology, this is very beginner

0 - potential, empty space, clean slate, new beginnings. *Represent with a yo/eyelet

1 - BOOM, manifestation, new beginnings, the start of something new

2 - balance, duality, choices, binaries

3 - creation, growth, relationships, looking ahead

4 - foundations, structure, stability

5 - change, challenge

6 - compassion, harmony

7 - magic, spirituality, divine, wisdom, reflection, understanding

8 -  movement, progress, change

9 - completion, fulfilment

10 - cycle ends and begins again, transformation

Other Things to Incorporate just random techniques you can layer

Embellishments - appliques/embroidery/etc can be sigils or spell out messages, make sure your decorations are themed with the project’s intent

Color Magic - for intent

Green Witchcraft - use herbs in the water you use to soak and block your knits once you’re finished, or use oils to dab on your tools

Type of FO - think of what purpose the finished object is going to serve and then play with that intent (things that protect you from the cold are going to be good for protection, blankets are great for love and security and warmth, toys will be good joy, love, or safety charms for children, etc. You’re already knitting the project for a reason, use the other things here to enhance your craft and make it ~magical)

[hallow-witxh]

Crystals in Kitchen Magic

Here are some of the things I do to incorporate crystals into kitchen witchery!

Use a spatula/spoon with a crystal embedded in it or attached. (These will soon be in my Etsy shop!)

Add a water-safe crystal to your brewing tea.

Place crystals on top of rising dough.

If you're baking or cooking for someone you love, wear rose quartz while you do.

Hang crystals in your kitchen.

Store a few crystals with your produce or in your fruit bowl.

There are so many others things that can be done, so be creative and add your ideas in the comments!

Blessed be!

Support your local witch on Ko-Fi or at my store, Hallow Grove!

Book Recommendations 🔮🌿

Hello witchblr! I wanted to share my favorite books that I own to help me with my craft.

Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Crystal, Gem, & Metal Magic (Scott Cunningham)

Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs (Scott Cunningham)

These books are AMAZING because they list properties for rocks & plants, as well as how they've been used, associations, and descriptions/pictures!

I cannot recommend these books enough. They are amazing for creating your own spells or finding substitutions, understanding why or when to use what, and learning about the lesser talked about herbs, crystals, etc.

Above are some pages from the book for anyone who wants to know what the layout is like for the books!

Anyways, just wanted to throw out this recommendation and hopefully it helps. Have a wonderful day witches ✨💜

I feel like the word "visualize" is commonly used in spells and exercises instead of "imagine," because it feels more authentic and like you're not just playing make-believe, but I've got this theory that it really isn't any better, and could actually be holding a lot of people back.

As we know, some people think more in words, and some people think more in images. Some people have a hard time visualizing, or straight up can't do it.

Personally, I think in some words and some images, but mostly in a big abstract cloud of ideas and feelings which I have to translate into images or words in order to communicate. It's easier for me to translate ideas into words than images. When I do think in images they kind of just happen without me consciously creating them. To make them on purpose is a lot harder.

So, when you tell me to visualize a protective bubble (to use a recently mentioned example), I can do it, but it's not super solid. However, if you tell me to imagine a protective bubble, I can feel it and know it's there. I can know what color it is without having to see it. This is a much stronger bubble than the one I visualized.

Since I decided to quit trying to visualize and start imagining, things have become a lot easier for me, and have felt more solid. I'm also spending less time being distracted by the effort of maintaining a visualization.

Again, this is a theory, and of course your mileage may vary, but if you're someone for whom imagining is not an entirely visual process, it might be worth giving it a try.

actually a very cool psychic trick, if you're trying to be a psychic:

I'm on a quest to rework my regular practices to become much lower energy.

Psychism - whether it be through Sight, Hearing, Taste, Touch, Smell, Knowing, or any of the senses - can be A) difficult to learn for the first time, B) draining, and C) often frustratingly symbolic or vague.

Today I remembered a trick I used to do :) it works really well.

Don't open your mind to detect just whatever comes up. Instead, choose a very specific set of symbols and see whether or not they are activated.

Let's say you're playing a game with friends where you try and guess what element an object is charged with.

Reaching out and feeling whatever vibes come can be very symbolic, like "I sense depth and coolness, darkness. I get the same feeling as looking at a mountain drenched in rain. But there is a strong flow here that moves everything..."

Try not doing that. We all agreed at the start of the game there would only be the four classic elements used, right? So why are you trying to see whatever vibes? You just need to see one of four things: a symbol of earth, air, fire, or water.

Specifying to yourself what each elemental symbol looks like, then reaching out to see which one appears to you: "I see an inverted triangle and the color blue."

It sounds stupid simple but it works ridiculously well.

Don't accept all input and then put the onus on yourself to interpret it. Choose a highly limited symbol set, and see which symbol appears.

Need to check on whether or not an object is charged? Maybe you can choose the numbers 1 through 3. If you hear "One," the object is without charge. If you hear "Two," it's moderately charged; "Three," fully charged.

A game where you check each other's emotions? Tell yourself what to do. Tell yourself what symbol sets are allowed. Maybe you just tell yourself, "look, remind me of a memory where I felt or observed as near to that emotion as we can get."

Just tell yourself what kind of symbolism you want!

This works for spirit contact too. "Tomato, you're showing me a desert but I don't know if that's because you need to dry out or because you're too dry. Please show me water if you want water, or a desert if you want to dry out, or food if you need fertilizer."

In a big way, psychism is just establishing a mutual language between you and the hidden world :) it can become a lot easier if you define and explain symbol sets that make sense to you - whether you are defining them to yourself or to the spirits around you.

"I've started to get strange psychic input since I began my practice but I don't know what it means, how do I find out?"

Maybe the spirits/your subconscious are working on trial and error just as much as you are! Establish and communicate what things you understand and are prepared to receive.

If you want tips:

Choose small symbol sets. You can have lots of them, after all. You don't need one all-encompassing symbol set for every kind of reading you do.

It is helpful to have a "not here" or "something else" symbol in each set :)

[thesaffronwitch]

Phrasing of a protection spell, that might be helpful to others - or perhaps useful as template.

“This [item] is for protection. It will protect this space. It will protect this property. It will protect the people who live here. It will protect the people who are welcome here. It will protect the animals that live here. It will protect the animals that exist here. It will protect.”

An essay on why we all get so fatigued trying to do witchcraft, and some ideas on what to do about it.

I've mentioned a few (several?) times that I'm trying to rework my practice to be so much lower energy.

I want to practice a lot. My path has responsibilities and demands. I want to be engaged in witchcraft daily and often.

As a part of this I have had to really sit down and untangle the question of chronic magical fatigue, which then turns in to chronic regular fatigue.

I've come to some personal realizations during this quest. Here is one of them, which I would like to suggest as a concept or hypothesis but not a literal truism:

One of the most vital and basic energy working techniques you can learn is feeling how full your "mana tanks" are.

Magical battery, odic fluid, witch-power, whatever you want to call it. It's finite for all of us (even if for some it can recharge faster than they can use it).

I have yet to see a "daily practice" or "101 energy work guide" provide a resource on how to feel how much magical energy you have, and explain how to avoid over-spending it.

I have also never seen a 101 guide ever really explain that "energy-gathering" techniques which are meant to recharge you are in and of themselves draining.

Techniques which refill your mana tanks are often the same techniques as energy raising and energy programming.

E.g.: "Pull energy up from the earth" (energy raising) "and guide it to your spine, imagining that it refills and recharges your whole body" (energy programming).

This is an actively draining technique.

The only passive energy-gathering technique I'm familiar with is just resting.

As humans, this should be common sense! Eating food requires energy (to find food, to prepare it, to consume it) and then can further tire us as our body redirects resources to digestion.

As humans, when many of us get older, we start to realize our physical limits. You know how far you can get in the day on a single bagel. And for many of us, if you've pushed past your limits, your whole day is thrown off. Refueling might make you crash and nap, not suddenly fill you up with a huge burst of energy!

Yet somehow it's pervaded the 101 energy working sphere that a certain energy-gathering exercise - which drains your magical power - will just fill you up and you can do as much magic as you want again. Warnings about not over-exerting are usually like, "take it easy! Only do 1 or 2 minutes if you can't do all 15, or even take the day off ;)" but no actual instructions about how to feel out your limits and know how to reliably stop before you over-exert.

I think that for a lot of people it would be helpful to divide their energy-working abilities into two categories: Muscle and Fuel.

Your energy working Muscle becomes stronger over time. It has its own muscle-memory, and repetition of techniques can allow you to do them faster and better over time. This Muscle behaves very much like your earthly muscles: it burns fuel to work, but it also becomes fatigued and even damaged with over-exertion. It requires regular periods of rest. Once pushed to the point of fatigue, the necessary period of rest becomes a lot longer.

Your energy working Fuel can be thought of as the little magical calories floating around your energy body system. These units of energy are refilled and recharged as we do normal things like eating, sleeping, and engaging in restorative mundane activities. This Fuel doesn't do anything on its own*. In order to utilize it, you have to engage your Muscle. The more that you work with Fuel-collecting and Muscle-using, the more efficient your energy body system becomes at accepting, processing, storing, and expelling Fuel. You can use your Muscle to collect Fuel and store it inside your energy body.

No matter how much Fuel you have, once your Muscle is fatigued, you have to rest.

I can run a marathon (no I can't, but imagine with me) and be totally exhausted. If I eat an entire pizza, will this allow me to suddenly run another marathon? No, of course not!

Now, let's imagine that nobody brought a pizza to me, but I had to walk down to the corner shops to buy one - now, my poor muscles can barely hold me up. Energy-raising exercises still require you to flex your Muscle, and if it's already fatigued, you are probably just shooting yourself in the foot.

Your Fuel and Muscle are not automatically synchronised. And I think a lot of us out here are abusing our poor Muscles, demanding they work again and again and again, not understanding that they need literal periods of rest - hours and days to be allowed to relax, heal, and regrow to a stronger state. And I think a lot of people do believe that just by Refueling, their Muscles are supposed to "magically" work as if they just came of a week of rest.

In my beliefs, this Fuel and Muscle are the same ones we use for divination, spellwork, and spirit contact :) So if you're trying to do tons of these things all the time and thinking that a grounding exercise can replace rest, you're probably literally just… running yourself into the ground.

I would like to propose that if you are having a really hard time dealing with fatigue and energy levels when trying to engage with your practice**, you should learn two techniques: A way to judge the fatigue of your Muscle, and a way to judge the fullness of your Fuel.

Either of these things can be accomplished with a pendulum on a number line (using a pendulum requires usage of your Muscle, by the by!). Bodily sensations may tip you off - I get a strained feeling in my forehead when I'm close to over-exertion. You can also induce a psychic technique, such as asking yourself where you're at and waiting to hear, see, know, feel, or understand where your Muscles and Fuel are at.

I would also like to propose that metaphysical energy gathering can actually be so tiring that it might be inappropriate for everyday use. Raising a ton of energy and infusing it into yourself or objects for later use is a full day's activity, not a quick act you can shove into a morning routine. I'd like to clarify that here I differentiate between energy-raising, and meditative techniques which provide a "grounded," present-moment focused state of mind.

If you're taking suggestions, I would recommend figuring out how much magic you can do before you achieve a state of 50% Muscular fatigue/Fuel exertion, 75%, and 90%. I believe you shouldn't push past your limits. It just hurts. It feels bad, it's exhausting, and it takes exponentially longer to rest and heal. And I think many of us will be surprised at how little magic we can accomplish when we respect our limits.

*Some people who experience a great over-abundance of personal energy do have weird stuff happening around them all the time; it's the metaphysical equivalent of a cat rubbed with a balloon and set loose in a Styrofoam factory.

**Here, I mean people who notice marked upticks in exhaustion and fatigue when working magic, not people with baseline fatigue which just carries forward.

some ideas for non-verbal spell casting:

so i’m a pretty quiet person irl, and i find a lot of spellbooks and posts on here include verbalization in the form of incantations, mantras, et cetera.

which is all well and good if that works for you, whatever floats your boat and casts your spell; but what if you’re like me and verbalizations make you uncomfortable?

or you’re practicing late at night while your housemates are asleep?

or you just. prefer to not speak?

well, here are some alternatives!

say your incantation internally

visualize your incantation

make your incantation physical (could you add movement/gestures to your spell?)

make it symbolic (breaking something, binding something, burying it?)

use a noisemaker! (eg. a bell, clap, a song, note, chord, etc)

simply do without! not every spell or ritual needs a verbal component, and maybe you’re just not that kind of practitioner. that’s okay!

i’m sure there are tons of things that i’ve left off or forgotten, and i definitely want to hear more ideas if you have them!

wind be with you!

How to Research for Your Craft

In the past I made a post talking about why research is important. Half of witchcraft is research, like it or not. Now I'm here to provide a sort of guide on how to research information for your practice. Anybody can follow this, beginner or advanced.

💭 Initial Thoughts

Think about what you want to research. What are you looking for exactly? If you want to research multiple topics, write them down or keep a note on your phone. Don't stress yourself trying to research multiple topics at once. Research them one at a time, and don't move on to the next topic until you feel comfortable with how much you've learned about the current one. Normally, I recommend for beginners to start with cleansing, protection, warding and banishing. Those are necessities, in my opinion.

📚 Finding Resources

Google is free, so that is where y'all will start. Try looking up the topic you're looking for (you may want to add "witchcraft" somewhere in your search, depending on the topic). You can find information on Tumblr, Instagram and other blog sites. You can also find information on Tiktok and Discord servers. This is the easiest way to find resources.

Books are the next thing to consider. I know some of you don't like reading, aren't in a living situation where you'd be safe buying occult related books or don't have the money to buy books in abundance. I'll be addressing multiple things regarding this.

I think a few reasons some people don't want to buy books is because they don't know what books give good information, they feel pressured to buy dozens of books or they aren't confident in their ability to read. Here is the thing: research takes time. So does developing your craft. Don't rush your studies for any reason. There is much for you to learn and practice, and that will always require time and patience. If you can buy a physical copy of the book, buy them one at a time. Wait for them to be on sale if you must. Just don't overdo it by buying multiple books at once. Also, don't buy a book without looking at the reviews and researching the author (will be talking about this more).

If you can't afford physical copies of books, try finding pdf copies of books. There are websites that have pdf copies of books, and some Discord servers have libraries of pdf books. This is a more accessible way of finding and reading books. (I still strongly suggest trying to buy physical copies, though. Good authors deserve financial profits for the time and energy they put into writing books to share their knowledge.)

The final resource is people. There are many people online who practice witchcraft and magick. If the person is comfortable with answering questions, ask them (always check to see if they are comfortable with teaching on their social media first). Some practitioners have Discord servers or Patreons where they teach. Being able to talk to other practitioners about their craft and beliefs can be beneficial. That being said, don't be a disrespectful bitch and demand to receive information from people on witchcraft. You aren't entitled to know everything about a person's craft, and not everybody wants to be a teacher on social media. Teaching can get exhausting. As I mentioned earlier, check and see if they are comfortable teaching on their social media accounts.

🚩 Checking for Red Flags

When researching for your craft, you will always want to check for red flags. There is a lot of bad information out there and you need to know how to spot it. Here is a link to my post about red flags in witchcraft and magic.

📖 Cross Referencing

Cross referencing your sources is essential for a variety of reasons. Some sources will have good information that others don't. One source may give a different perspective than another, and that doesn't make one more reliable than another by default. If you looked at my post explaining red flags, you know why.

No matter who the person is or how highly they are spoken about, always look for more resources regarding the topic you are researching. See what other people have to say, even if their opinions are considered "unpopular". Sometimes the people who have unpopular opinions can offer a valid perspective.

🔍 Consider the Mundane

Sometimes you don't need to strictly think about something in a "witchy" manner. For a few topics, I would consider looking at things from a mundane or cultural perspective. For color correspondences, I like to look at how colors are viewed from a psychology standpoint. You may also want to consider a cultural perspective, too, because different cultures may view colors differently. For plant correspondences, I like to think about the medicinal uses for plants.

🖋️ Taking Notes

Whether it be physically writing all your notes or just typing them in a document, I would try to keep some sort of documentation on what you are learning. The initial notes would only be a rough draft of sorts, so don't focus on making it look pretty. Focus on documenting the things you are learning, what seems to be most accurate, what seems to be questionable... Cross out information that you have found to be inaccurate. Circle something that inspired you or you want to look into deeper. Take note of where you are finding the information.

💡 Coming to Your Own Conclusions

There are some things that are a little more set-in stone than others, but some things also require you to decide what you believe. Take all of the information you have learned and documented into consideration. Experiment with it. See what works for you and what doesn't.

The Lemon Hex

For when someone has REALLY done you dirty and you just need a quick and powerful burst of baneful energy. This one is powerful, fast-acting, and short-lived, by nature it can really f a person up and can't be undone/reversed once you've cast it. As always, practice responsibly and be safe!

What You Need

A lemon (naturally.)

A knife to help handle said lemon

A leaf or piece of paper with your target's name/identifying info on it (taglock)

Ginger/Cayenne Pepper to help empower/speed up the spell. Both preferred, but just one can do.

Salt/Black Pepper, good baseline ingredients for most hexes

Anything nasty or spicy you can think of. Hot sauces/peppers, old vegetable juices, lint/dust, dish scum, you name it.

Important note: This is not a spell you want to use needles, nails, or other hard things in. Keep it soft and organic if you can. You'll see why.

Steps

Throughout all of this, I find hexes to be a good opportunity to speak your mind, let the target know exactly how they fucked up and how this is the consequence of their actions.

Prepare your taglock and cut an opening in your lemon. Give it some room in the middle.

Roll up or stuff the taglock inside the lemon alongside all of the other ingredients. Be sure to add the ginger and cayenne for best results.

Once it's all in there, give it a little roll/squeeze to make sure those lemon juices permeate all the nasty insides. Let the citrus sting and the spices burn, let the grossness reflect the grossness they've wrought on your own life being sent back.

Chop the whole thing into pieces in preparation for the next step.

Once you're ready, chuck it into the garbage disposal.

If you don't have a garbage disposal, a blender with some liquid should work too. You could even continue using nasties like lemon or pickle juice.

Your lemon is now ground up and liquefied. Dispose of the remains however you please.
