What to use when in Witchcraft -

Ok so I am gonna say this is my personal reference, its mainly through associations. You might TOTALLY disagree and thats chill!

Its more something to think about and a guideline of what I use myself…

Candle Magic:

Carve a candle when…. the candle represents the target, in sympathetic magic. When, essentially, the candle is a poppet and lighting it is a symbol of destruction or empowerment to the target.

Place something under the candle or before it when… you are doing general candle magic, when the candle represents empowering a wish, idea or concept.

Anoint the candle when… doing work with spirits and gods, when you mark the candle for a special purpose, when doing high magic.

Herbs and plant work:

Use dry herbs when… it is convienent to do so, when the herbs are out of season or when you need to store them in a jar or bottle for a long time.

Use fresh herbs when… the spell is very earth orientated, when doing magic on behalf of another or when the magic is sympathetic so that the herbs represent the target, within kitchen witchery.

Use flowers when… when the spell concerns love and sex, or perhaps fertility and attraction, due to flowers being the reproductive parts of the plant.

Use fruit when when… working with children as a target, or with children practising. When you work with fertility and abundance spells.

Use wood and twigs when… when the spell is for protection or binding, for hardiness.

Burn herbs (recaning/incense) when… you wish to cleanse or banish, or invoke an atmosphere - that being, for divination using herbs that are said to open up your perceptions, when banishing, burning acrid or pungent herbs.

Use oil infusions when… you wish to anoint something, when you wish to mark something permanently.

Use floral waters (rose water etc) when… dealing with spirits and gods, for glamour as it has a long history of being used to beautify.

Crystals:

Use metals (haematite, copper, ores etc..) when… you work in protection, when you do energy work due to the conductive properties of metal.

Use shell, pearl, coral and such when… you work in sea magic, when you work within emotional magic due to the element of water.

Use points when… you wish to direct magic to a target.

Use tumble stones when… you wish the magic to be gentle or manifest at a certain place on the body on a target.

Use geodes when… you work in protection, when you work with glamour aimed to obscure and hide.

Knot magic:

Use cotton when… it is convenient.

Use silk when… doing spells that benefit the target.

Use ribbons when… love spells and wealth spells, as well as confidence and beauty spells. Spells to ensure victory.

Use rope when… doing spells that aim to hurt or weaken the target, binding especially.

Poppets:

Use cloth when… the spell aims to benefit who the poppet represents, use particular care when sewing or cutting, choose colours that are appropriate to them.

Use wax when… you wish to manipulate the target.

Use clay when… wish to create fetches or servitors, when you wish to create permanency.

Use twigs when… you wish to bury or throw the poppet out, when you want the poppet to be easily destroyed by breaking or setting on fire.

Sigils:

Use an alphabet grid or circle when… you wish the sigil to be more random and less attached to you.

Combine the shapes of letters from a sentence… when your sigil is very specific and a short term goal.

Use your own personal symbols when… you want the magic to be connected to you, when it is personal.

Grimoire Challenge - Week 8: Thursday

Law Of Attraction Spell to attract a stronger bond between two lovers:

**I’m gonna go ahead and put a warning on this one. Please don’t use this on a random person who you want to fall for you, that’s your job. Don’t try to make magic do it for you. This is more for couples who just want to be closer, and feel bonded to each other**

Tools needed:

a poppet of yourself and your love.

Red string

any objects to represent what you want to bring into your love life.

Take the two poppets, and place them in a comfortable area of your home, surrounded by small objects that represent things you want to attract in your relationship. Even if you just surround them with small paper hearts or rose petals to represent love, that is fine! Next, take your red string, and tie it first to the hand of your poppet, and begin saying,

“This doll and I, we are one,

I bring love to one, and to mine, the same.”

Then tie the other end of the string to the other poppet. Finish by saying:

“With this knot I do bond,

our love is true, our feelings fond.

May now our hearts beat as one,

a deeper connection, through this thread is spun.”

You can then leave these poppets out as sort of a ‘love altar’ and add or move items around on it as a way of attracting them to you, and into your relationship!

Rune Activity:

Group 3: Change

Thurisaz - Conflicts, breakthrough, either a change for good or a change due to a failure, possibly.

Jera - Life cycles, and cyclic change. The idea of a fruitful season, peace, happiness.

Dagaz - Breakthrough, awakening, and awareness. A time of clarity.

These runes can be used as carvings or in spells to inspire needed change, the solving of conflicts, or for awareness in ones’ endeavors. 

candle intention ideas

here are some ways to infuse intention into your candle spell work that aren’t carving, oils, & herbs:

• wrap string around the candle with colors that align with your intention (ex: black string for protection)

• anoint the candle with a certain element if it is prominent in the spell (ex: water for a dream spell, dirt for grounding, etc)

• wrap a taglock hair around it

• write your intentions on a piece of paper or bay leaf and tie it around the candle

• tie a printed paper photo around the candle (taglock) could also be a piece of paper with their handwriting on it

Felix Felicis - A quick tea potion to improve your luck for 24 hours.

I know everyone and their mother has done a Felix Felicis Spell, but screw it, its St. Patrick’s Day and everyone needs a little luck.  * Inspired by the potion from J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter Series.* Needed:  - A Tea of your choice! ( I recommend Green, Black, or something with Orange, pineapple or pomegranate in it) - Honey - Cinnamon - A bit of sugar - A spoon

Steps:  - Brew your tea as you like it and let it cool just a bit.  - Add a spoonful of honey, a pinch of cinnamon, and a spoonful of sugar.  - First, stir your potion counter clockwise and say/think: “ Bad luck begone, From me and all I own, your affects are well-known,  and now you will leave me alone.” - Now, stir clockwise, and say/think: “Good luck I invite, to free me of this blight,  and give me the insight,  to bring about my own delight!”  - Drink your tea and go about a luckier person for the day!

Bone Divination (Osteomancy) is an ancient practice of fortune telling used throughout many cultures. It’s important to find personal pieces that you deeply connect with.

List of objects commonly used in Bone Divination sets: - Old Coins - Crystals and Stones - Dice - Seashells - Animal Claws - Small animal Jaw bone - Animal feet - Nuts - Seed Pods - Skeleton Keys - Beads made of glass, wood, animal horn or bone - Metal Charms - Personal Jewelry such as rings or pendants - Any items that hold a personal meaning for you

Taking care of your divination set: - Regularly cleanse your pieces with White Sage - Keep them with you during the day to form a deep bond with the pieces - If unable to keep them near during the day, keep close to you at night - I find that most pieces like to rest on natural surfaces- wood, moss, etc - Charge them under the Full Moon when possible, especially crystals or stones - Meditate with the pieces and listen to what they have to say - Occasionally bury the bones lightly in an indoor flowerpot for a short time (or outside in the garden if not raining). Bones tend to like being in the ground. It allows them to rest.

How To Send Dreams 💤

This post explains how to send a dream to another person. I’ve done this before many times and it’s always worked for me. I’m not here to boss anyone around, but it’s best to get permission to do it first. If not, that’s on you.

Read this post I made about energy work. (x) You’re going to want a little experience with energy work if you want to do this, otherwise it won’t work.

Print out a picture or pull up a picture on your phone of the person you wish to send the dream to.

Create a ball of energy in your hand. Infuse the ball of energy with images or words by thinking it, then imagining the thought or word going down your arm from your head, into the ball of energy.

Slowly push the ball of energy into the picture while imagining that you are in front of that person and physically putting it into their head. Do your best to feel yourself doing it.

Feel free to send me an ask on how it works for you or if you have any questions! :)

I think the first step towards the life you want is often to just say yes to more things. Accept that coffee invitation from your coworker even if it seems awkward. Sign up for that free class at the library that you're not sure you'll like. Join that club. Book that tour. Say yes to as many things as you can and kill the part of your brain that gut-reacts with a no.

✨BOND SPELL🕯

*** This spell is meant for increasing the bond of a previously established relationship. This spell won’t create a relationship that was not previously there.***

CHANT:

Like a bee to a flower, we need to be lovers, one cannot live without the other, and should it be found that we are apart, we’ll be connected at the core of our hearts. For I am your one and you are to mine, forever and always, together in time.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:

1. A purple candle 2. A gold thread/string

WHAT YOU’LL NEED TO DO:

1. Light the purple candle. 2. The gold thread will be a representation of your bond. Wrap it around your candle and tie a knot ONLY ONCE while repeating the chant. 3. Keep this candle at your bedside or somewhere in the room that you share with your partner. You can keep the candle lit as long as you would like but you can blow out the candle once the knot has been tied. 4. Every night, simply light the candle and retighten the knot. This represents strengthening the bond of your relationship continuously. Because relationships are a continuous effort, they must be continuously strengthened. You may retighten throughout the day if necessary. Repeat the chant while doing this as often as you can (kind of like singing during any task). ***OPTIONAL: You may engrave a sigil of Strength into the side of the candle***

Blessed be.
