Peaceful Sleeping Sachet

✨ Witchy tips ✨

🎀 Take mental health days, no magic just relaxing.

🎀 Stop using divination to see if you’re crush likes you or not, be courageous and ask! Just because it was divined doesn’t mean it’s 100% true.

🎀 Meditate if you have the time.

🎀 Get creative with magic. You don’t have to follow the old ways of witchcraft all the time.

🎀 Don’t listen to any witch that claims their way is the only way.

🎀 Glamours and self love spells are friends. Please cast them! They really help you feel amazing!

🎀 Believe in yourself. You don’t have to wear all black if you don’t want to. You can be a witch and not be the stereotype.

Little Witchy Things For Closeted Witches

-Stir clockwise (no one would notice that) -Drink herbal teas (it’s totally normal) -Clean with special solutions (scented cleaner wouldn’t make anyone suspicious) -Draw sigils that disappear quickly (out of sight, out if mind) -Keep plants around (plants are nice decoration for houses) -Cook with herbs (nobody would question it, and they’ll love your food) -Wear crystal pendants (if it matches your outfit, it’ll pass as mundane) -Buy magickal yet normal things (wind chimes and dreamcatchers aren’t weird) -Drink special smoothies in the morning (once it’s a daily routine, people won’t care) -Take walks in nature (it’s normal and calming) -Draw sigils under clothing (no one would know unless they have x-ray vision) -Keep a stash of candles “for emergencies” (better safe than sorry) -Go out with friends once a week (when I say friends, I really mean your coven, and if you aren’t in a coven, pretend you’re with friends and do witchy stuff on your own) -Add a subtle magickal twist to family holidays (specific color themes, taking the opportunity to use all the extra energy floating around, decorate with enchanted objects, etc)

This list is getting pretty bad so I’m going to stop now… feel free to add on!

Moon Phases

New Moon- New Moon magick begins on the day of the new moon to three-and-a-half days after. Use the energy of the new moon for new ventures and new beginnings. Also use the new moon for love spells, job hunting, and healing.

Waxing Moon- The waxing moon begins seven to fourteen days after the new moon. Use the waxing moon for constructive magick, such as love spells, magick for wealth and success, courage, friendship, luck or good health.

Full Moon- A powerful energy for rituals of prophecy, divination and protection. Any spell work that requires  extra energy, such as finding a new job or healing serious conditions, is best begun during the full moon. Also for love, gaining sacred knowledge, legal matters, attracting money and prophetic dreams.

Waning Moon- Begin waning moon magick three-and-a-half to ten-and-a-half days after the full moon. The waning moon is used for banishing negativity, for curing addictions, and illness.

Dark Moon- The energy of the dark moon is useful for working magick against attackers, and for understanding your own angers and passions. Also for rituals designed to bring justice to bear in very negative situations.

Hey space witches

do you have a telescope? Ever notice how when you point it at the moon, a beam of light shoots out the eyepiece? Congrats you just found a super concentrated way to charge shit with the moon.

Witches Ladder

Step 2: Measure, cut, tie and secure!

When I cut my twine, I did a very rough estimate, stretching it out the length of one hand to the other, arms out wide. You will be braiding the string, so it will get shorter, but it shouldn’t get too much shorter. The length doesn’t have to be perfect.

You’re going to want 3 identical lengths of your string.

Once you’ve got them all measured and pretty, grab one end of all three and tie them together. I left a bit of twine at the top of mine, and then trimmed the middle string. I then tied the two remaining pieces together, giving me a nice loop to hang it up with.

Once that’s all prepared, you’re going to want to secure it somewhere. If you opted for the loop, and can hook it somewhere, you won’t need to use sticky-tape. I did, because of space, but I’m sure you guys can find somewhere easy enough.

Step 3: Begin the braid!

If you’ve done a braid before, this will be simple for you. However, if you have not, have a look at this little picture below, as well as this link to youtube. Braids can be complicated at first, but once you get the hang of it, it’s very easy.

When making a witches ladder, there is a poem/spoken spell that often accompanies it. There are two ways to do this. The first is to say each line as you put in one of your feathers or items, as there will be nine of them.

The second way is to say a line of the poem/spell each time you cross your braid over.

If you do the first, I would suggest counting the knots as you go, and trying to achieve 9 each time, to keep it even.

If you follow the second way, I suggest having the spell written out in front of you, or memories it ahead of time, as you’re going to be trying to focus on what you want to bring in as you braid, and trying to juggle braiding, focusing on your intent, and speaking a spell at the same time can be confusing/hard.

If you do end up with the second braid, you will find that your items will be fairly evenly spaced, especially if you’ve built up a tempo with the speed of your braiding and how you say the spell.

The Spell:

By knot of one, the spell’s begun. By knot of two, the magic comes true. By knot of three, so it shall be. By knot of four, this power is stored. By knot of five, my will shall drive. By knot of six, the spell I fix. By knot of seven, the future I leaven. By knot of eight, my will be fate. By knot of nine, what is done is mine.

Step 4: Weave the items in!

It can be somewhat fiddly to try and braid in the items, but all you really need to do is stick one part of the item between the cords as you braid, and it will stay.

You may need to move further back to keep the string taut, just work with what feels right.

As you go down the ladder, try and put the items in on either side of the twine. That will keep it looking even and not lopsided.

Step 5: Tie it off!

I chose to add a little wooden bead at the bottom, but this is not necessary. Once you have tied in all 9 items, you can tie it off at the bottom and hang it up. Your witches ladder will be complete!

I hope you enjoyed this little tutorial, and if you’d like it to come out similar/identical to mine above, there are extended ladder instructions in the read more below.

Until next time, be well,

Additional Note:

If you want to make it longer, or tie in more things, feel free. If you feel that working in solid numbers, like 10’s works better, do that. If you feel that you want to make it ceiling to floor, with a new thing tied in every 3 braids, do that!

Just remember that the more symbolism that is tied into the spell, the more vibration is has, and thus, the more power. Use colours, items and even smells that relate to your intent.
