Grounding Stones Bowl

It’s okay to not “dress like a witch”,  you are a witch, so you are dressed like one!

Sometimes spells don’t work, don’t get flustered, try again!

Not everybody in the community is nice and welcoming, hold your ground.

Find what path suits YOU, not your peers. 

Witchcraft is customisable to fit YOUR needs. 

Cursing is NOT a bad thing! 

Respect closed cultures always. 

You don’t have to be religious.

Witchcraft and Wicca are NOT synonymous! Witchcraft is a secular practice, Wicca is a religion completely unrelated. 

Remember to ground and cleanse every once and a while. 

Thank your tools occasionally. 

Witchcraft is not the solution to all of your problems.

Ingesting herbs can be dangerous at times, be careful. Especially if you take medication! 

You will not be able to control people, read minds, levitate, or use telekinesis. Those are all movie magic. 

Take everything with a large grain of salt. 

Read as much as you can, even the “bad” (cough silver ravenwolf) books, you can learn what not to do that way.

Avoid Silver Ravenwolf unless just reading for the meme.

You don’t have to keep up an edgy “witch” aesthetic, just be you!

There tends to be a lot of drama surrounding the witch community in particular, stay out of it.

STAY AWAY FROM PAGANSUNCENSORED.

You don’t have to do anything you don’t feel comfortable doing. 

Covens are NOT mandatory. 

There is no special ‘initiation’ to become a witch, you want to identify as a witch? You’re a witch! Just like magic.

Be careful of who you trust, just like any other community there are bad eggs who will try to hurt you. 

You don’t have to use divination to be a witch!

You don’t have to tell people you practice until you feel safe doing so, don’t feel rushed. 

RESEARCH, CROSS CHECK, THEN CHECK AGAIN! Never believe one source. 

Shielding and protection are important. 

Casting a circle is not necessary, it is a preference. 

People who have been practicing for longer than you will sometimes try to belittle you, do not believe them. You are just as much a witch as someone who has been practicing 20+ years, you’re just newer. 

DON’T LICK UNKNOWN ROCKS. Seriously, you could die. 

Using a ouija board is not going to summon a demon, but take the same precautions you would with any spirit work. 

Don’t be afraid to ask for help, or ask someone to teach you something. 

Remember that you don’t have to be ONE type of witch, you can practice forty different types of witchcraft at one time if you want!

Charging your crystals gives them an extra boost and aids in magic. 

If you don’t want to use the title “witch”, you don’t have to. There are many, MANY other ways to say you like a little magic in your cereal. 

There are many ways to practice in secret, but make sure you’re safe in doing so. 

Burying jars is awful for the environment. Find biodegradable things to use instead!

Be careful if collecting graveyard dirt (or anything from a graveyard) - you can get into some pretty extensive trouble. 

Be cautious about using rusty nails. Always wear gloves.

Basic fire safety goes a LONG way. 

Your own intuition is one of your biggest tools, learn to use it well. 

Learn at your own speed!

Don’t use witchcraft in place of medical/psychiatric professional assistance. 

Working with Fae can be dangerous, make sure you know what you’re doing.

Research before doing something, common sense right? 

Familiars will not always be your pets, unfortunately. 

Working with spirits can be dangerous, take necessary precautions. 

Lemon water is probably the easiest way to cleanse, just be careful around crystals. 

You are valid as a witch, no matter if you’ve been practicing 20 minutes or 20+ years. You are awesome. 

when the whole house got the autism

“i feel like i have no purpose” You are not a fixed entity. You do not have one grand, singular, constant purpose. As long as you have genuine intent behind your actions, everything you do serves a purpose. As long as you are truly present, you notice that everything contributes to a greater whole. You do not need to dedicate yourself endlessly to one practice to achieve a purpose; allow yourself to oscillate freely between them all. Experiment. You are not one dimensional: treat yourself as such.

I’m really tired of feeling like garbage.

Say each ingredient out loud and what it’s for in the spell, once you place everything in the jar seal it with the white and green wax the lip of jar. When the wax has harden tie the ribbons around the jar with with medal of St. Cajetan. Then offer the complete spell jar again to God and chant:

Oh God and St. Cajetan, You know my desire for a job, for work I enjoy doing, for the next step in my career to present itself.

I trust you, Lord the with your help and Cajetan – my life is in your hands. Let your will be done, thank you for being near to me every step of the way and thank you for always providing for my every need. May this all be for your glory.

Amen

Sealed it with a kiss and leave it in the moon light. Have fun and good luck with the job huntting!
