SPELLWORK HELP SHEET

Everyone creates their spells a different way, and all witches follow different guidelines, so feel free to pick and choose the parts that resonate with your own morals and beliefs.

•GUIDELINES•

Do NOT cast a spell that may interfere with anothers free will, or cast a spell that may effect another without their permission.

Do NOT cast a spell that violates your morals or beliefs, or you feel uncomfortable with in any way.

Do NOT work with any languages or symbols you do not fully understand. This can result in unwanted results.

Do NOT cast any spells when you are particularily ill, angry, or otherwise off. This can negatively impact the spell.

•INTENTION•

Describe your spell in one word, or short phrase. If you are a visual person, a simple image would be effective. This allows you to keep focused on the main impact of the spell and not get lost in small details.

•INGREDIENTS•

Decide upon the ingredients needed for your spell.

These can include, but are not limited to:

- Crystals

- Botanics

- Sigils

- Candles

- Incense

- Runes

Always research any ingredient you may use in a spell to make sure that it wont have a negative impact on your health, or anothers.

NEVER EAT SOMETHING THAT CANNOT BE GUARANTEED IT IS 100% SAFE

•TIMING•

Decide upon the best timing for your spell to be casted at. Moon cycles are a good indication for many witches.

Here are some ideas of the kinds of spells to cast during each part of the moon cycle:

🌑 NEW MOON

- New Beginnings

- Beauty

- Wealth

- Personal Improvement

🌓 WAXING MOON

- Courage

- Motivation

- Luck

- Inspiration

- Healing

🌕 FULL MOON

- Love

- Healing

- Fertility

- Guidance

- Reflection

🌗 WANING MOON

- Banishing Bad Habits

- Banishing Addictions

You are free to cast any kind of spell at any time, however the moon cycle can strengthen some spells.

•CLEANSING•

It is important to cleanse all ingredients or tools that are going to be used in your spell. This eliminates any unwanted energies, keeping the spell focused on your intention. Some witches also like to bless their ingredients and tools.

•CASTING•

Cast the spell you have been planning. It is important to trust in your intention. Every witch casts spells differently. Some like to work in silence, others like to talk to themselves, or speak their intention. Some witches like to work in specific clothing, some don’t mind. Experiment and find what suits you. There is no wrong way to cast a spell.

•GRIMOIRE•

Now you have casted your spell, it is important to record it in your Grimoire or journal.

You should probably cover all of the points you used to create your spell, as well as any other details or variables you find to be important. You should also record the impacts and outcomes your spell had.

By writing it up, it allows you to look back at your spell and identify any factors that could be changed or altered to make it more effective. If anything turned out differently than expected, you can look back through to see if there is an identifiable factor that could have caused it.

Easy Witchy Things to do

-Spelled bath salts in your night bath to lift mental and physical exhaustion of the day. I recommend a recipe with frankincense, geranium and rosemary in it as they aid in purification of body, spirit and soul but you can customize for your needs. You can do SOOOOO  many things in the bath. Imma do another post on this.

-Rose hip tea before bed to bring prophetic dreams.

-Rosemary/athame placed beneath the pillow to protect from nightmares and psychic attacks.

-Incense of lavender. Or a candle dressed in lavender oil. Or lavender fragrance oil on your pulse points. Whatever is more feasible to you. Lavender, promotes peaceful sleep.

-Keep a dream journal. Meditate for a few as soon as you wake up and record everything you recall in the journal for reflection.

-Do a card pull for the day ahead. Tarot or oracle. Your choice.

-Brew tea in the morning. I like green tea. Its simple. Its available. Most importantly, its cheap.

-The house you live in is an entity too. Clean it up a little. It can be something as simple as vacuuming, floorwash, dusting windows, changing curtains, letting in some sun, hanging wind chimes, vastu or feng shui, sprinkling infused water, smudging…..you get it. 

-Water your plants. Talk to them. Sing to them. See if anyone is sick and needs attention. Plants like that. Bond with your plants and they will aid you more.

-I like to shower in the morning  (I’m Indian and terrified of my mother. Also. Hygiene.) Visualize the water infusing you with its flow and clarity to help you flow and be clearheaded throughout the day.

-Eat breakfast with intention. You are what you eat. Do not put trash in your tummy. It messes with your frequency. I like to stick to apples and milk/coffee. 

-Wear clothes with intention too. Colors are a massive force in our lives and aid in our purpose. Wear red for passion, confidence, sensuality and resoluteness. I like to wear at least one red item everyday.

-Nail polish, if that’s something you’re into. You can incorporate color magic by doing this too if you do not wish to wear colored attire or if its not your style.

-Put a fragrance oil/itr (pronounce:EEH-tr) on you with. I like to put jasmine on me. It corresponds with divination, sensuality, confidence and luxury.

-Jewellery. Period. Rings, pendants, earrings, bracelets, anklets…intention people. Intention is your best friend. For my broom-closeted witches, this is an excellent way to mask your crystals in plain sight. Crystals are pretty and jewellery goes unsuspected. Amethyst ring? Lapis studs? Pearl bracelet? Obsidian pendant? Crystal magic!!!

-Enchant your makeup if you use any.

-Put pre-energized yantras/glyphs on the inside of your laptop bag/school bag/work bag to promote clarity and fluidity in work.

-Enchant your pens/brushes/pencils/tools of trade for productivity and efficiency.

-Carry snacks with you. Dried drupes, berries and fruits are fulfilling and keep you in touch with earth. Also, cuz they’re snacks.

-Eat your food.

-When you get back home, shed you’re clothing and visualize all the weight of the day going with it.

-I like to have a post-work day shower too. Again, visualize the water carrying away your woes with it.

-Brew your post-work tea. Chai is a very good option. I brew it in milk and add a host of powders/roots to it. Nutmeg, cinnamon, mace, grated ginger and cardamom are my favorites in any season. They promote positivity, good energy, relaxation, healing and peace.

-Listen to your favorite music.

-Do something artistic. Maybe paint, sculpt, write, sing out loud, freestyle….whatever you like.

-Read and research. I like to update by grimoire everyday. I, like many other witches, believe that my grimoire is a living entity and needs attention in order to flourish. You don’t have to do a lot. Just research for a couple minutes and write down your notes in it. It don’t have to be fancy.

-Bathe

-Tea! Again!

-Incense

-Sleep my little birdie.

Drying Roses

Get you some roses, silly. Preferably some that have not been treated with anything gross such as pesticides or herbicides. I used to make exceptions if I knew a batch would not be used in skin or food products but now that I have a wee one and furred one I just avoid the nasties entirely. You can’t trust them to not put shit in their mouths.

 Pull them off the stems. Shake the seeds out, save them if you want especially if these are roses from your own garden or your mom’s or fancy roses pilfered from someone else’s. Not that I have done that or would condone such things. Ahem. (They were just letting them sit in the compost pile. Perfectly good roses!) Separate all the petals, I get a bit lazy sometimes and it doesn’t have to be perfect. But you don’t want rose boulders. They take forever to dry.

Oh turn your oven on to 200 degrees now. It won’t take long to heat up.

Line some cookie sheets with parchment paper and scatter the petals. Remove any bugs you find. Parchment paper isn’t essential, it’s not like they stick, but it does make moving them off the pan much easier. Pop those bad boys into the oven for ten minutes.

When the timer goes off they should be crunchy. Bone dry. You touch them anything but gentle butterfly kisses and they crumble. If they don’t stick them back in for two minutes. Oh, your house will smell like spring. Its awesome. I have always had the petals darken when I have dried them, it does not bother me. But it might you. White petals do not stay white.

 Transfer dry petals to wherever you want them to cool. When cool, stick them in a jar or some other equally sturdy container to store them. Viola. You have dried roses for all your witching needs.

Witch Safety Tips

I love the witchblr community but sometimes witches share spells, recipes and “how-tos” without doing the proper research first. So I just wanted to share some of my safety tips when it comes to witchcraft.

✔️ Always research any herbs or other plants that are in spells, recipes, or rituals that you find online. Sometimes witches (unintentionally) share information that isn’t correct or that they haven’t researched themselves. It’s always best to do your own research when it comes to anything that you will be ingesting or putting on your skin.

✔️ Be wary of purchasing spells or anything related to witchcraft or the occult that is “intangible” online. I’m not saying don’t buy them but make sure you do a little background checking (check the seller’s social media accounts, blogs and shop) before you commit to any purchases.

✔️ Don’t bury jars. This is more of an earth safety tip but just don’t bury any plastic or glass containers. They don’t biodegrade. Instead opt for something made from organic materials like cotton, wool or paper. And make sure whatever you bury is safe for the earth :)

✔️ If you’re burning incenses or herbs make sure your in a well ventilated area. Open your window, or back door (if you can). And it’s advised that you don’t burn anything around small animals, their little baby lungs can’t handle the smoke.

✔️ If you want to start a garden, or get indoor plants and have pets be sure to research and make sure the plants aren’t poisonous to your fur babies. Just because a plant isn’t poisonous to us, doesn’t mean it’s not poisonous to your pets.

✔️ Also research crystals, if you plan to work with them. If you plan to make elixirs with them be sure they aren’t poisonous and that they are suitable to be in water. You don’t want to ruin your shinny pretties lol.

✔️ Always, always, always do your research. Make sure that whatever you’re putting in your body or on your body (or your pets body) is safe.

✔️ Never leave a candle unattended <— this is just common knowledge but I wanted to throw this in here because I ruined many altar clothes because of this lol.

That’s all the witch safety tips I can think of right now. If you have more, feel free to add on to the list. And please be safe.
