A list of Wordcraft abilities

Not many people will be able to understand what Wordcraft is. To remedy this, I have compiled the list below along with a few alternative ways to define Wordcraft. Please note that this list is not definitive. There are always going to be more powers and abilities that have yet to be discovered.

Alternative ways of defining Wordcraft:

- The writer’s witchcraft

- Word witchery

- The magic of words

- Eloquent Enchantment

List of Wordcraft abilities:

- mimicry of powers and abilities of characters (limitations of physics do apply)

- creation of paper charms (aka petitions, wish cards)

- character communication (bibliomancy)

- potion creation (energetic infusion of described potions into water or liquid)

- spell casting (using books as inspiration for incantations to create change. Can also be off the cuff casting)

- verbal empathy (the ability to tap into knowledge of a person by reading or hearing their words)

- magical storytelling (can write stories and works that create magical effects)

- persuasion (some Wordcrafters are extremely persuasive and can lace their voice with magic to charm people)

- spell writing (can take any spell and rewrite it into pure incantation form. Can also create new spells for others)

- Reading magic (by reading a book, a wordcrafter can intuitively pick up the type of magic held within.)

In short Wordcraft is all about fluidity and words.

HOW TO COMMAND YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND

commanding your subconscious mind is extremely simple, easy and very effective to get your desires.

What can you manifest with this method?

you can manifest anything you want with this method. appearance changes, money, love, talent, literally anything you want!

you can even shift to your desired reality with this method.

How do I command my subconscious mind?

you just tell your subconscious mind what to do, and trust it’ll be taken care of. so for example, let’s say i want to manifest my desired appearance.

i’d tell my subconscious mind, “you’re going to get me my desired appearance. get me what i want.”

or let’s say i wanted to shift realities. i’d say, “you’re going to shift me tonight. i know when i fall asleep, you will take me to my dr.”

and when you command your subconscious, have faith it’ll work! you can literally wake up with your desire face if you believe so.

after commanding your subconscious, don’t be like “this shit doesn’t work” after 5 minutes. your subconscious mind is literally working behind the scenes to bring you your desire. who knows? your cells might be working their asses off right now to change your facial structure, or your SP might be thinking about you RIGHT now, or your small business can go viral tomorrow.

TRUST THE PROCESS.

this technique literally requires you not to lift a finger, and you can still get extreme resuslts! the only thing you need is you.

What should I do after?

live your life. go outside, have fun, hang out with your friends because it is done.

feel that sense of relief. you no longer have to worry.

you don’t need to do anything. no need to affirm, visualize or do a technique. it’s been taken care of.

Why does it work?

your subconscious mind is literally your slave, your puppet, and will obey your every command.

if you tell it how miserable your life is, it’s going to bring you misery. it is your friend that blindly believes anything you tell it. so why not use it to manifest your desires?

you are the god of your reality, remember? your word is literally law.

Outro

so yeah, this is a short post because it is extremely easy.

here’s an example of someone commanding their subconscious to shift, and here’s another example of someone getting their desires this way.

SUMMARY

all you have to do is tell your subconscious mind what to do

trust your subconscious mind

your subconscious mind is always obeying you

no technique is required

Omggg I just manifested my college degree, I guess university in my case. I dropped out of school this current spring semester because I dreaded it and it’s not for me 😭. I’ve manifested other things and I was like why don’t I manifest that I’ve already graduated and finished University. I haven’t successfully entered the void yet but I did SATs for three days at night. When I woke I went to my parents room to steal my moms skin care out of their bathroom and in a frame on their dresser was my degree….I’m 20 and I’ve “graduated” university 😩 Fuck school I finessed the system

I’m fucking shocked tho. Like I know I can have everything but when it comes I’m always shocked 😭. There’s a few jobs I’ve been eyeing that required a bachelors degree and now that I have one I’m gonna apply!! I want to move out of the state I live in and get a job in Newyork? But I also found a good job in Japan and Korea, so I’m deciding where I want to go!!

HOLY SHIT THAT’S FUCKING INCREDIBLE !! you have no idea how proud of you i am rn <3 i love how you said fuck uni and woke up with a college degree. that’s a true god, right there 👏

ੈ✩‧₊˚ Do things that make you feel good. If affirming 24/7 makes you feel good, do it. If visualising makes you feel good, do it. Do techniques that make you feel giddy and gives you the calming sensation that it’s done. Of course they’re not necessary but if they make you feel more at peace with your manifestations and you have fun doing them, do it. Never force yourself to do anything that makes you feel shit. Indulge yourself in anything that makes you remember that you already have your desires and their is no where to be but the state of the wish fulfilled ✧.* ੈ

After many requests, I’ve made a rebloggable version of my ‘Weather Magic’ page. Here you will find heaps of resources to help you with weather/storm craft. If you’ve read some of my previous posts about weather magic you will notice some similarities - that is because this is a collection of every weather witching post that I’ve ever posted compiled into handy resources post.

Weather Magic

The term “weather magic” or “weather witching” has been used to mean anything from divination and forecasting of weather to actual control and manipulation of the weather itself. From calling up treacherous storms to destroy another’s crops or providing fair winds for those at sea, witches (and even those who do not consider themselves to be such) have always been involved with weather magic. When you consider that most forms of magic are based around an agricultural past, the ability to affect and predict the weather was considered an invaluable skill. After all, if your family’s livelihood depended on the success of your crops (or the ability to find water as it did in my family’s case), weather magic would be an extremely handy thing to know.

Why the url Storm Born Witch?

I am quite fortunate, as the gift for weather related magic comes easily to my family. For generations, the men in my family have been dowsers or water diviners. However, it wasn’t until after I displayed an aptitude to weather related magic that I was told about my family’s history with it. My grandfather was the last water diviner in the family and he died when I was very young so I was never taught how to divine for water. My grandmother was the one to teach me what little she knew about weather magic - the rest either occurred naturally or I picked up along the way.

Calling Up A Wind - Whistling Up A Wind

This is the most common form of weather magic and has been practiced for hundreds of years. Depending on the pitch and tone of the whistle a witch can create a gentle breeze or a sharp gust of wind. Traditionally, if the skill of whistling up a wind does not come naturally to you the option of making a ‘wind whistle’ out of willow or alder wood is available.

Here in Australia, whistling up a wind is probably the most common form of magic I do. I honestly do not go a day without whistling up a cool breeze. It’s bloody hot here and sometimes a cool breeze is just what you need.

Storm Casting

Storm casting is the art of creating storms. There are many different methods to creating storms and bringing rain. The method used by my family is to fill a jug with water and while sitting outside (or facing a window) pour the water into a basin or bowl. Dip the tip of your pointer finger into the water and slowly make five clockwise circles in the water (if you have a pendant necklace this can be used instead - just above the water in the bowl). As you are making the circles call the wind to bring in a storm by blowing (or whistling a continuous low note - the sound of wind over the mouth of a glass bottle) over the water in the basin.

Traditional Methods of Calling Storms by stormbornwitch​

Ways to Stop a Storm (Dispersing, Binding & Preventing)

There are multiple ways to stop a storm. The most common are dispersing or binding storms. However there are also ways to prevent storms from coming by directing them away from where you are. This is great if you’re holding an event outside and you need good weather.

Dispersing

This method involves spreading the storm out over a large area thereby minimising its effects. You can disperse a storm by calling winds to blow it away (or in a certain direction) or if you favour using weather maps you can draw the low pressure system moving away and gradually dissipating.

Binding (Storm Catching)

This method is also called ‘storm catching’ and involves catching a storm and binding it within an object (usually a bottle or knots) so it can be released gradually at a later date by pulling out the cork or undoing the braid/knots.

Resources for Binding Storms

Storm catching or “reeling in a storm” is even more difficult than storm casting so it’s always wise to think before you cast. Too much energy put into a storm and it will go on for weeks (and cause some flooding - basement incident) or it will be extremely violent and knock down power lines and tree branches. Too little energy and all you will get is a 5 minute shower of rain.

Preventing a Storm (Weather Maps)

However, if you wish to prevent a storm from forming, you’re going to have to pull out the weather maps. To make a weather map all you need to do is to print out a map of your local area or the area you’re trying to keep a storm away from.

Just use google maps and don’t make the area too big or you might seriously strain yourself magically. Then laminate the map - now you have your own ‘whiteboard’ to draw weather symbols on to generate certain types of localised weather.

To practice this kind of magic you really do need to know how weather systems work and how they’re likely to move; knowing a little bit about meteorology goes a long way.

Once you’re ready, find out what the weather is predicted to be and draw it on your map. Now draw the high/low pressure systems moving so that the area you’re trying to protect doesn’t get rain. This method can also be used to bring rain to a certain area.
