Grimoire - For The Spoonie Pagans/Witches

A Year and a Day UPDATED - 206 prompts - A Quest to discover my individual Witchcraft

*UPDATED - original post was 196 prompts

After a lifetime of subtle magic and a year of failing to step into my power, I wrote this personalized curriculum to learn my own individual Witchcraft over 366 days. There are 206 points on the list. Some will take a bit of time and work. Others require more simple answers.

I used the words "personalized" and "individual" for a reason. Witchcraft is very personal. We are all individuals and nothing we do looks exactly the same. Some of the points may not suit you. Adjust or omit them.

I will be kicking this off with a devotional river bath on June 1st.

Follow me on Instagram if you'd to tag along. Inspired by https://sammmango.tumblr.com/post/175974393404/a-whopping-list-of-grimoire-prompts-and-ideas

Spell Challenge Day 1: “I’m Damn Hot” Fire Charm for Attracting Attention

(word inspired by: Fire)

Here is a spell bottle charm that brings the wearer attention they desire and brings out their fiery beauty for the world to see. Wear it for when you wish to be damn hot and look like a goddess/god of fire.

You Will Need:

Bottle Pendant with a cork, small enough to easily wear around the neck

Red string or ribbon cut long enough to wear around neck

Mortar and Pestle 

Dried Rosemary

Cinnamon (preferably ground)

Dried Garlic or Garlic Powder (avoid garlic salt though)

Dried Pepper flakes

Red Candle (and something to light it)

Steps:

Set up an area, make sure it is clear to give you plenty of room to work. Cleanse it accordingly and cast a circle if you choose. Do whatever you feel is the best to open a spell with. I usually clean the table I am working on and spritz a bit of cleansing spray in the air.

Place your red candle before you on the table or wherever you are working. Anoint it if needed then light it. Let it burn for the rest of the spell.

In your mortar add your rosemary, cinnamon, garlic (powder) and pepper flakes. Using your pestle grind them up as fine as you can manage while focusing on the flame of your candle. The flame of the candle represents the energy you wish to give off while wearing this charm, the fiery radiance and beauty of it and the warmth it holds. Focus on how you wish others to see you, which is down right beautiful and smoking!

Once your herbs are finely ground carefully pour them into your bottle charm and cork it.

Blow out your candle and carefully seal your little charm bottle with the wax to seal in that fiery energy you put into it. 

Tie the red string or ribbon to the bottle, or loop it through any jewelry hook you may have on it. 

Wear it around your neck whenever you wish to look as hot as fire.

Other notes: Be sure to recharge this bottle charm time to time to keep its effects. You may charge it near a lit candle, in the light of a sun (preferably noon), or using sunstone. Cleanse it using smoke.
