Witchcraft uses a lot of words you might not have heard before; here’s a breakdown of some of the most common!

Basics

Banishing: A magical working with the intent of sending something away, removing an individual from your life or cutting out negative acts and behaviours.

Warding: A magical working in which the individual creates ‘Wards’. Wards are barriers of energy which deny any unwanted entity entrance to the place warded. Wards can also be placed upon oneself to prevent a magical attack.

Tools, Objects & Symbology

In Christianity referred to as the trinity knot and believed to represent the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. A secular way of viewing this is that it represents life, death and rebirth. In Wicca believed to represent the triple Goddess.

If they stand behind you, give them protection.

If they stand beside you, give them respect.

If they stand if front of you, watch their back. And if they stand against you, show them no mercy.

🌿🌟💀Uncrossing/Hex Removing/Cleansing Bath Recipe 💀🌟🌿

🕷Whenever I feel like I may have picked up something nasty or just feel my energy a little heavier then usual I take one of these.🕷

These are good when you feel like someone might have thrown something at you or if you feel like you have a negative entity attatched to you😈 It is important to take these baths multiple times. 3 days is my preferred but longer is even better, especially if it’s heavy duty. If you feel like you’ve been crossed, more should be done aside from this but this is a good place to start.

You will need:

🌿Dill leaf

💋Lemon slices

🌿Sage

💋Sea Salt

🌿Baking soda

💋BOTTLED water (or Holy Water if you prefer)

🌿Uncrossing or cleansing oil

💋Florida Water for afterwards

🌿White candle (dressed in olive oil)

💋Nice cleansing incense (like lemongrass)

Instructions:

🌼Empty the bottled water in ur lil pot and bring it to a boil. Lower it till it simmers and add the herbs (I use dried sage and fresh dill, cut the lemons however u want I like slices lol) and let it steep. It’s like you’re making a tea.

⚘Take your uncrossing or cleansing oil and add a bit to the water. Let it simmer a little longer and mix.

🌼While you’re preparing it, you can do a number of things. My personal preference is to use a corresponding psalm with my bath followed by a personal prayer afterwards. Some people leave their spiritual baths with their Saints for them to bless and purify. Basically you want to spiritually purify and bless your bath water of any negative energy or hindrances so it can do it’s job of cleansing you.

⚘Around this time, I smoke cleanse a simple white candle and dress it with olive oil for protection as well. I keep this on while I take my bath and let it burn all the way through.

🌼Now, take the bath off the heat and strain it.

⚘Take a quick shower and physically cleanse yourself of any physical dirt before proceeding. Light the incense if you want.

🌼After, fill your bath up with warm water or whatever is comfortable to you. Add in a good amount of baking soda. Add lemon slices if you want to feel aesthetic! That’s what I do lmao!

⚘Get in the bath. Pour the tea all over your body. Just sit there for a bit and let yourself feel all that negative goop come off of you. Just relax. Enjoy it. Steep in that tea bruh. Let those herbs do its work. You deserve it.

🌼When youre ready, lay back and submerge yourself in the water three times. I like to recite a psalm as well right before I submerge myself. Just be careful with your eyes, I dry them a bit with a towel but don’t towel dry yourself just take care of your eyes.

⚘Get out but DON’T DRAIN THE TUB AND DON’T DRY YOURSELF OFF. Let the tea sit on your skin and let yourself air dry. Wear white every time you do this bath afterwards if you can.

🌼Take some of the remaining bath water and put it in a water bottle or gallon. Then you can drain the tub. I tend to sprinkle more sea salt in my tub and then wash it down the drain so whatever is lingering on me won’t stay in that room. My aunt likes to read a psalm while she cleans out the tub. Just make sure you clean that tub whichever way feels better to you.

⚘I like to rub myself down with Florida Water after! It smells great and is also a powerful spiritual cleanser. Just make sure to do your daily routine of lotion or whatever after if you find that it makes your skin ashy since it is a cologne with alcohol.

🌼After that, it’s a matter of properly disposing it. Get your left over bath water, the ashes of the incense, and what’s left of your candle all together. Really early in the morning (at least that’s how I was taught) go to a crossroads. Idgaf if it’s a dirt path, the street, wherever. But find yourself a crossroads. Dump out the remaining bath water there and leave the remnants of everything else there too. Now make your way home but DO NOT LOOK BACK.

Side notes

🗣If you feel like you’ve been crossed or you feel like an entity is attatched to you, make sure you’re cleansing your actual home and living space as well.

🗣Make sure you’re actually following this up with protection work and workings to draw things to you. This bath is primarily a cleansing bath more so then protective. You still need to draw more positive energies towards you regardless.

🗣Make sure you’re always doing divination to see whether or not it is a negative entity, crossing/brujeria, etc. and to see how to remedy it

🗣If you feel like it isn’t enough and you’re still struggling, try looking into a reputable spiritual worker or brujo who can help you. Or again…divination.

You Are Going To Have So Much Success In 2018 (pass it on)

paganinpurple

I nearly scrolled past, but I got nervous

witchyandbeyond-blog

I need this right now.

Thanks!

So I wanted to post to let y'all know that I made it safe to Dallas! Thanks to everyone who sent prayers my way, I could feel them coming in! I had family light some candles in the name of Elegua, Obatala, and Yemeya (3 Orisha's) for protection as well as my husband lit a silver Candle in the name of Nyx, and smudged some Alder wood for protection as well. It was certainly an experience, and honestly I'm not looking forward to taking that trip back. But thank you everyone, I'm seriously feeling the love of protection placed on me <3

systlin

I’ve got…like…four or five people in my inbox going “I want to curse someone but don’t know how”

Ok children, Auntie Witch is in, pull up a chair and get out a pen. This is how Auntie Systlin curses a bitch who needs cursing.

TOOLS NEEDED; A stick, some red makeup, a knife

(For the red paint, I use red ochre and my own spit, but anything will work. Red invokes the color of blood.)

STEP 1

Protect yourself. I paint the rune Algiz on myself; on my forehead and on the back of each hand, and invoke its aspects of protection, to protect me from any kickback.

(that’s this rune right here. Algiz, the elk, the rune of protection and defense)

STEP 2; cast a circle or prepare a ritual space however you prefer.

STEP 3; Carve the curse on the stick, while invoking the name of the person you wish to curse, the runes you are carving and what you wish to invoke from them, and the effect you wish to have. Hold your target’s face in your mind as you do this, and pour all your intent and will into it.

RUNES I USE;

Isa, the rune of ice, to freeze whatever fuckshit actions are warranting the curse in place, and to cause the target nothing but delay and frustration.

Thurisaz, the rune of Thor’s Hammer, reversed. To bring down destruction and ruin on your target, and to harness the sheer (and serious) elemental power this rune can bring to the party.

Haigall, the rune of hail, to bring chaos, radical change, and catastrophe to your target.

And finally Nied, the need-fire, to teach them a bitter and painful lesson drawn from their own deepest folly.

Carve these, speak their names, invoke the aspects you want. Speak the name of your target, speak why you cast this curse and what you wish the curse to do. MEAN IT, EVERY WORD, and drive all of your emotion and intent into those runes.

You can carve them separately or make them a bindrune. Caster’s choice.

Ask for the aid of any gods you wish to involve (optional)

Step 4; Say, “By my will, so let it be” and break the stave to send the power.

Poem by: @softspokenspells Edit by: @witchglitch

yourplayersaidwhat

"Okay I'm done with this"

Context: we’re running curse of Strahd, and the players are in Death House. They encountered a certain living doll…

Dm: What s your Passive Perception?

Spot: uhhh 9?

Dm: cool *quietly rolls*

She wandered around the room and basically the doll was sneaking around her being a playful little possessed doll, until it failed and she caught it crawling under the bed.

Spot: okay…i go over, take out my dagger, and stab at it!

Dm: *rolls* you see her just as she trots away on the other side of the bed, into the wardrobe, and closes the door.

Spot: …cool so I’m gonna pull out my guns and shoot it.

Everyone laughs, DM is trying not to

DM: so do some attack rolls, how many do you wanna do?

Spot: 3, gonna shoot it 3 times.

DM: coooolll….

She rolled perfectly and blasts 3 shots into the wardrobe hitting it every time, and hearing helps.

Dm: you open the door to find blood and stuffing everywhere leading to a hole in the back.

Spot: I follow the blood.

DM: it leads back to the desk where you see that same doll sitting in her glass case, 3 bullet holes in her chest, stuffing everywhere, but no blood.

Spot: cool imma put her in my pocket.

DM: ???oh??

Spot: she’s my friend now.

And that’s how Anastasia the cursed Doll joined the party.
