Until You Do Right By Me...

My favourite curse comes from The Color Purple. I think I must have watched that movie a million times when I was a little girl.

And while I can still quote most of the movie from memory, the scene where Celie curses her husband will always stick out most in my mind. Until you do right by me, everything you think about is gonna crumble. Until you do right by me, everything you even think about gonna fail.

I curse you.

Everything you touch will crumble.

Everything you even dream about will fail.

So how do you cast it? I did it like Celie. With anger. Finger pointing is optional. But I did it. I summoned every shred of heartbreak and anger and hate I had in me and I laced every word with it.

There were no candles.

I did not pray.

No jars were shook.

I was broken, but still a witch, and it was going to damned well happen without anything other than me needing it to happen, anything other than me demanding that it happen, or else I wouldn’t make it through.

demon god: YOU FOOL, YOU HAVE FREED ME. NOW I SHALL RIP APART YOUR PUNY HUMAN SOCIETY, DESTROY YOUR ARMIES AND THE ENFORCERS OF YOUR LAWS AND DEVOUR YOUR LEADERS AND POWERFUL CHAMPIONS, LEAVING CHAOS IN MY WAKE

me: yes good, get on it

demon god: WAIT, WHAT

me: get moving lazy I didn't summon you to play fucking yahtzee

Tough as a Nail, Sharp as a Thorn Protection Spell

This is a spell to help protect you from physical or emotional harm.

Ingredients:

Storm water

Rose thorns

Nails

Herbs for protection and strength (I used black pepper, ginger, basil, and oregano)

A jar

Optional: paper and something to write with, if you don’t want to say the spell out loud

Instructions:

Add protective herbs to your jar.

Add storm water to about halfway up the jar.  While you add it, say “Strong as lightning, thunder, and rain, all attempts to harm me will be in vain.”  If you can’t say the spell out loud, write it down on a piece of paper and add that into the jar.

Add the thorns and nails into the jar and say “Tough as a nail, sharp as a thorn, though this spell new strength will be born.”  If you can’t say the spell out loud, write it down on a piece of paper and add that into the jar.

A Crash Course in Warding

Let’s just start a series of crash courses in witchcraft, since sometimes we need to learn things the quick and dirty way. Today, let’s talk about wards.

What are wards? Wards are protective energy barriers. They keep things out. You can place them around your home, certain rooms, even on certain objects. With practice and clear intentions, you can focus the wards to block out everything or only certain things. We’ll get to that in a bit.

Why should I ward my space and my things? Wards can keep out all sorts of things you don’t want in your home. They can block out negative entities, wayward spirits, mischievous entities, demons, and (if you’re really good at what you’re doing) even gods. Some people ward their divination tools so they know there are no spirits tampering with the results.

So what do I need to do first? Cleanse. This is very important. Wards are kind of like walls, or perhaps more accurately, bubbles. If you don’t clean the space first, you might trap things inside your ward bubble. You do not want that. There are lots of methods of cleansing, from burning sage to spritzing oil-infused water. Find a method you’re comfortable with and cleanse everything you’re going to be warding.

I’ve cleansed my home/item. Now what? Now we ward. I’m going to give you a couple methods. Let’s start with my favorite, incense warding.

Incense warding can also be done with spritzes of water/essential oil blends or herb-infused water if you can’t have smoke in your space. Whichever you’re using, you want to have a blend of protective herbs. Bay leaves, cinnamon, ginger, mustard seed, and salt are some great options that you can find in the grocery store, no fancy witch shop necessary. If you’re using incense, make sure you’re using natural incense and not super cheap stuff that’s artificially scented. The magic is in the herbs, and you won’t get that from fake scents.

How to Incense/Spritz Ward an Item

Smoke or spray item.

Visualize the smoke or spray clinging to the item and wrapping around it like a tight blanket, protecting it from anything that would cause harm (or interference, etc.).

How to Incense/Spritz Ward Your Space

Pick a place to start. I always start at my altar, but it’s up to you. If you’re doing multiple floors, start either at the top or bottom floor.

Moving continuously to your right, smoke or spray along the walls and door frames. As you go, imagine a barrier being formed around the walls, ceiling, and floor, pushing outwards to fill the room. Visualize the smoke or spray forming the barrier to keep out anything that will do you harm. [If you have a hard time with visualization, you can simply focus on the intent of the smoke or spray keeping things out.]

Keep moving right, following the layout of your home, making sure you get all the closet spaces. You basically want to outline the entire area you’re protecting, whether it’s you’re room or your whole house.

For multiple floors, repeat on each level.

For big layouts where there are rooms in the middle, go around those rooms as well.

I like to reinforce the wards over outside doors, windows, and mirrors. These are all passages of sorts, and when I reach them, I use the incense to draw a pentagram in the air over them. This is entirely up to you.

You’re done when you’ve reached the point where you began.

So why do we go to the right? Is that important? Kind of. Going to the right is like going clockwise. It’s about making things and progression, where going to the left or counter-clockwise is about deconstruction or reversal. [I read this idea in a witchy book a long time ago and will try to find a source when I can. If you honestly don’t feel it makes a difference, do whatever you’re comfortable with.]

Can I place wards that keep out certain things but not others? Sure. When you’re going around your space/warding your item, your intent is what’s important. I like to ward out entities that mean harm - it’s nice and general and doesn’t keep the fae out. Some people might want certain spirits and not others. Have your intentions clear in your mind as you place your wards.

That’s neat and all, but what are some other ways to ward? Let’s list a few.

Symbol/Sigil Wards

Choose (or make) a symbol or sigil that has protective properties. I’ve done this with Pluto’s astrological symbol because I worship him and it’s my way of being like, “Hey, Pluto. Please protect me, kthanxbai.” Pentagrams are nice and basic witchy/pagan symbols if you like them.

Draw the symbol over doors and windows. You do not literally have to draw it. It can be in water, incense smoke, or just your finger against the surface if you want.

As you’re drawing, make sure you have your intentions in mind - that nothing harmful can pass through this door, that the windows remain closed against entities, etc.

Energy Bubbles (if you have control over your energy)

Pick an item - any item.

Get your warding intentions in mind.

Channel lots of energy into the item. Visualize it emanating from the item in a bubble to fill your space.

If you’ve got mad skillz, you can form the bubble to the walls and be super exact with where its barriers are.

Vocal Wards

If you like spoken (or thought) spells, come up with a small chant to protect your space.

You can repeat this chant as you focus on your item being protected or as you walk around your home, protecting every room.

This is really great to incorporate into basically any other form of warding and gives your magic an extra bit of oomph.

I’ve heard wards can “fade” over time. True or false? Wards are just energy. Like all energies, they can disperse and weaken over time, or if something particularly nasty puts effort into destroying them. Redo your wards every so often (I do mine every few months, but it’s up to you), and especially before spiritual interactions. I also like to do mine after I’ve had lots of company, to kind of clear out family’s lingering energies and reinforce what I don’t want in my house.

In general, the intent of your wards is the most important part. Know what you want to keep out. This concludes our crash course on warding. Now go forth and protect some stuff!

"I am completely comfortable in my body."

my anxiety has been off the roof because of upcoming situations i don't feel comfortable with and, naturally, a sigil was destined to be born. I'm planning on creating a sigil encompassing protection from anxiety in general, but here's a little something for feeling like you belong in your body :)

"My family is protected." // family member(s) (including pets) protection sigil

my brother got into a car accident today but got out with zero scratches and i thought making a protection sigil for the general protection of my family was actually a very good idea

[wltcher-blog]

Hey, do you happen to have a sigil/spell etc that's for protecting the whole house quickly and easily? I don't have the time to do most of the spells I've found because even that small work they require is too much some days. Thank you!

when i want to protect/cleanse the whole house from any bad energies (even if there aren’t any, i do it sometimes daily), i imagine there’s a white or sun-like light covering every corner, wall, furniture, person, pet etc, enclosing them, protecting them, being everywhere. it can either start from you and spread to the room you’re in and the rest of the house (in which case you should ground if you think you don’t have the energy necessary, though i rarely do for this), or you can imagine there’s a sun-like ball in the middle of the house that spreads and ends up enclosing everything

you can do it even when you’re not at home, just by imagining the rooms illuminating one by one or using the “sunball” method. whatever helps you vizualize the cleansing better! i find these methods  to be superquick, they can be done multiple times, and they don’t require anything but you :)

Everyone loses things and I am no exception. So this locator spell is designed so that you can find whatever items you might have lost. This spell uses a techniques called map dowsing and can be used to find anything that is lost (people, pets, items etc.).

For this simple little locator spell you’ll need:

A scrap piece of paper or a map (seriously if you’re looking over a large area don’t go out and buy a map - just use Google Maps and print out what you need)

A pen

A pendulum (or a long pendant necklace).

And four candles (You really only need these if you’re looking over a large area)

First you need to draw (or print out) a map of the area where you think you lost the item. So say you lost your wallet and you think you lost it in your bedroom. You would first draw a sketch of your bedroom on a piece of paper as if you were looking down on your room from above. You would make sure to draw all main features of your room (bed/ desk/ bedside table/ door/ windows etc).

Now place an ‘x’ on the map where you remember having seen the item last.

If you are looking over a large area place the four candles at cardinal points on the map [North, South, East and West]. If you want to carve sigils or anoint these candles then go ahead. Once placed, light the candles going clockwise around the map (North, East, South, West).

Now, get the pendulum and in wide clockwise circles let it swing over your map. While the pendulum circles the map, visualise your item glowing in their hiding place or floating towards you. Look where the pendulum is focused (8 times out of 10 it’s near where you’ve placed the ‘x’) - your item should be there.

If the pendulum doesn’t focus on one particular area and instead continues to circle until you pull it away - you’re lost item isn’t in the area you’ve drawn/printed out.

family harmony spell

sundays are a family get-together day for me and there's usually a good deal of tension. so i decided to whip this up and it proved useful to make everything feel more mellowed down than usual, as if everyones’ edges had been dulled. it helped quite a bit!

what i did:

casted a circle and grounded

manifested 4 white candles around me, front + back, left + right (i would’ve used actual candles but no such luck yesterday) and then lit them with my mind

cleansed tools (fireproof bowl, box of matches and a piece of paper with the spell written on it)

chanted spell while concentrating on my intent:

Family harmony is what I seek Family harmony will be granted to me For the next 24 hours this spell will last Family harmony will come, won't pass

burned the paper (i had to put it on fire twice and even then it didn’t burn completely, the only words that “survived” were harmony twice, so i let it be)

grounded again to return excessive energy to the earth

put out candles and made them disappear & brought down circle

you can of course change it up however you feel it’s better for you (especially the “24 hours” part) and use it how you see fit. happy witching w/ less family tension! :)

To reverse a spell

Use this spell to reverse any harmful magic. This could work to reverse the effects of a spell cast on you or someone else with malicious intent. You can also use this to reverse your own spells (although hopefully you do not use magic to harm). Needed:

A taper candle. Use one of a color that represents the spell you wish to break. For example, to break a spell cast out of hate, you could use a red candle. A spell cast out of envy could be reversed with a green candle. If you view magic as being able to be classified as light or dark, you could use a black candle.

A glass or bowl about the same height as the candle

Water

Salt

Cast a circle. Put the candle into the glass or bowl and fill it with water so that it is almost covering the candle; have the water level about a half inch to an inch below the candle’s tip. Sprinkle salt into the water around the candle and say:

With salt, this water is made pure I give it the power to heal and cure

Imagine the water and salt glowing with a bright light. Perhaps visualize sparks as the salt hits the water. Light the candle and say:

A spell was cast with baneful will A wicked web was wrongly spun I take away the harm and ill I now undo what has been done 

As the candle burns, imagine that the water is emitting positive energies that will help to reverse the spell. Let these energies build up in your circle. When the candle burns to the level of the water and sputters out, take it out of the water and hold it horizontally with both hands. Say:

This harmful spell I now negate, Return things to their rightful state! 

At the last word, break the candle in half. As if the snapping sound were a thunderclap, visualize the energy in your circle being released in a burst of bright energy like lightning, destroying the effects of the spell you are reversing. If you can, snap the candle into even smaller pieces, breaking it further, making it useless and inconsequential. Close your circle if you are not outdoors and take the bowl or glass of water and the broken candle outside. Bury the candle pieces as well as any wax that dripped into the water. Pour the water in a circle around where the candle is buried. If you are outdoors, do all this within your circle and close it when you are done.

Babylon Candle

A spell to bring travel

Are you trying to find a way to get somewhere quickly but lacking funds or transport? Try this. 

What you need:

A black candle (taper is best but any kind will do)

candle holder

mint oil

an oil burner

sandalwood incense 

your voice 

What you do:

1) Heat your mint oil until it’s warm (making the particles in the oil move faster and thus the oil more potent). 2) Get your candle and rub the oil all over your candle. 3) Light your incense. 4) Pass the candle through the incense saying; 

“How many miles to Babylon? Four score miles and ten. Can I get there by candlelight? There and back again. Yes, if your heels are nimble and light, You can get there by candlelight.”

Feel free to repeat the rhyme if you feel the need.

5) Boom! Now you have a Babylon candle!

So how to use it! It will work at any time of day, any time of the year. All you do is light the candle and think about where you want to go. Burn half the candle for the trip there, and when you’re there, burn the second half for the return trip or the next trip you want to go on.

Safe travels!
