How to charge your crystals
Disclaimer: there are tons of ways to charge crystals on the internet, these are just my personal preferences. Some might work for you some might not. Also, some of these charge crystals with light energy some with dark. Always do research before trying new techniques!
~Water: spray the crystal, bathe the crystal or bathe with the crystal (use charged water for a greater outcome)
~Smoke: hold your crystal into the smoke (be careful it can become very hot)
~Earth: burry your crystals in a place that gives off some type of magic
~Fire: place your crystals around a campfire or other fire source. (Careful, don't put them too close)
~Wind: hang your crystal like a pendant into a tree or something similar so it can get charged by the fresh breezes
~Sunlight/ Moonlight: let your crystal sit in the light. The power of the sun/ moon that day control the power of the charge (be careful some crystals lose their colour when they're exposed to too much light)
~Blood: bathe your crystal or let blood drip onto it (please be careful when acquiring, only use after a lot of reasearch!)
~Antiques: old things often have a kind of magic in them that can be used to charge crystals just use your instincts for this
I’m trying to figure out which deity I connect with the most and so I made this spread! Just focus on a deity of your choice and ask these questions!
1. What do you think of me?
2. What are the pros of our potential relationship?
3. What are the cons of our potential relationship?
4. How would we benefit each other?
5. Is this a good match?
Let me know how it goes if you use it! So far, I’ve used it for Artemis, Hades, Hecate, and Selene and it’s been really interesting. Also, sometimes they will have more than one card for the first question. Just follow your intuition and good luck!

since i’m starting to work on getting my own Grimoire better organized and figuring out what i think fits best in it for me, i feel like i should log some ideas that have helped me in my journey in hopes that it could help someone else just starting out. but just remember that your Grimoire is your own and personal to you and you alone so you don’t need to put everything in if it doesn’t vibe well with you or doesn’t fit into your craft. your book should hold things that are personal to you and your craft and what you believe and you don’t need to have every bit of knowledge in your book.

***correspondences =things such as 》elements, colors, symbolism, planets, astrology, anatomy, ect. really anything else important tied to something.
obviously you can pick and choose whatever works best for yourself and your craft, and i don’t even have some of these in my own book but still thought they would be helpful to include for witches like me who are just starting out who need ideas of what their books can hold! i’ll probably start posting more about my grimorire and how i keep it organized as well!
if you think i’ve missed anything feel free to add on more ideas to pass on to your fellow baby witches!
✨Cleansing✨
Cleansing is the practice of cleaning the negative energy out of yourself, your posessions or surroundings.
• Smoke. Pass the item you're cleansing through smoke, whether it be smoke from incense, a candle or a fire.
• Water. First make sure the item you're cleansing is water proof, or at least water resistant, there are a few crystals that are damaged by water, so beware! Sprinkle water on the object you're cleansing, especially if it's moon water or full moon water.
• Salt. Put the object your cleansing in salt, or put salt on the object. Salt will soak up all the negative energy in the item. Beware, there are some crystals damaged by salt.
• Sunlight and Moonlight. Put your item outside or near a window. Let the item bathe in the light for a few hours. Beware of bleaching! You can also sprikle salt in your doorway on the first friday of every month (or whenever) to protect and cleanse your home.
• Crystals. Use corresponding crystals to cleanse your object. Put them around/on your object. If you're cleansing your own energy, keep the crystals in your hands or carry them with you.
• Pick the thing you want to cleanse (be it your home, your crystals, your witchcraft materials, your jewellery, etc)
• Pick a method of cleansing (use your intuition)
• Feel your energy and listen to your feelings when cleansing, try to stay calm. You can close your eyes and breathe deep.
• Try to transfer your positive energy into the object. Imagine your positivity flowing into it.
And you're done!
Crystals that have cleansing properties include:
• Selenite
• Clear Quartz
• Citrine
• Black Tourmaline
• Black Onyx
• Fluorite
• Selenite
• Apatite

Shadow people are black shadow mist humanoid like entities that are quite mysterious in nature. Other names that are used to refer to shadow people are shadow figures, shadow beings, black masses, dark shadows, shadow ghosts, Dark Ectoplasms, Moving Shadows, or shades. Shadow people have been seen in many different types of forms. People have ran into shadow people that looked children sized, adult sized, masculine, feminine, and even some that would wear “Shadow clothes”. There are different types of shadow people, and shadow entities. Though these entities usually act similar to each other, it’s important to know the types that one could encounter. These are the different types of shadow people:
Shadow humanoid - This is the form most people see, and is the basic human form.
Shadow humanoid with Red, or Green Eyes - It’s exactly what it sounds like… shadow people with colored eyes…
Hat Man - This is a shadowy humanoid form that is wearing a hat, and is usually known as the Hat Man.
Hooded Shadows - humanoid shadow people who wear hoods.
Shadow animal - These are the shadows in animal form.
Black mist, Dark Ectoplasm, Moving Shadows - These are formless black clouds.
Shadow people are one of the most common entities people run into, but they usually flee when they are noticed. They are most often seen in places that are dark, when it is sometime during the evening. People that have encountered these entities have reported that light seems to frighten them away, and light is also said not to pass through their dark shadowy bodies. Shadow people have the ability to pass through objects, and walls like most other types of higher frequency entities. These entities can move incredibly fast, and are usually seen in people’s peripheral vision.
Though most people assume them to be negative, shadow people are not inherently benevolent, or malevolent. They are just entities with a little bit darker energy then most, and are more mysterious than anything else. Shadow people have also been known to be attracted to energy, but primarily darker energy such as negative emotions. They have also been known to feed on peoples energies.
No one knows for sure exactly what shadow people are, but they have been called pretty much everything from disembodied humans that did not pass on, to even demons, angels, and aliens. Some even claim that shadow people are astral projectors, and that the black mass you see is their manifestation of them on the physical plane.
If a practitioner would want to get rid of a shadow person all they would have to do is one of the things I have listed below. Though this is not all of the ways, it’s a good small list:
Ask it to leave, or command it to leave. (Nobody ever tries this…)
Banishing ritual such as LBRP, LBRH, or Gnostic Pentagram Ritual.
Asking a god, goddess, deity, or higher power to get rid of it for you.
Burn cleansing herbs like sage, and rosemary.
Used crystals that are for protection, and banishing like obsidian.
Use the violet flame.
Psychically, or energetically attack it through psychic attacks such as the releasing light technique.
↟𝐋𝐀𝐏𝐈𝐒 𝐋𝐀𝐙𝐔𝐋𝐈

~ What are Crystals and what are they used for?
Most crystals ( in this case including gems, rocks, precious stones, semi-precious stones, and simple stones) are of mineral origin. Crystals, like amethyst, come out of the ground naturally faceted and don’t need to be changed in anyway.

Here is my full collection of PDFs I currently own and I’m still looking to expand this list. On this google drive you find a vary of tabs of subjects.
Some tabs are empty as I am still looking for PDFs for them!
If you would like to submit a PDF please do so in my Submission link! Please read the guidelines and make sure the PDF isn’t in there already.
Reader Beware! I have not read all of these books/pdfs (I don’t have enough time too) so I cannot guarantee the quality of each one. If you feel like one of the PDFs may be problematic for a number of reasons though, please send your concerns to my ask box.
When first getting into any type of entity work, one of the first things people tend to do is look for some sort of guide. Be that a Higher Self, patron deity, spirit guide, guardian angel, whatever you want to call it- just something more powerful and knowledgable than us to keep us on the right path. I believe most entities are generally good, or at least aren’t motivated to harm us. That said, there are those with something to gain from taking advantage of us. A practitioner in search of a guide is a juicy target, because they’re often inexperienced and naive. Consider everything we’re willing to do to please someone we consider a mentor. Here’s how to spot a phony:
There’s a bad feeling in your gut. This is the first and most important one on the list. If something feels off, something feels wrong, even if there’s no obvious reason why, listen to your gut. It’s the most energy-sensitive and accurate tool you will ever have.
Their identity is shady. This is especially true if they’re claiming to be a deity or any big entity with a name you’ve heard before. A deity should have no qualms just saying who they are, whereas an impostor may try to dance around saying it explicitly. They may pull a “you know who I am” or just confirm whatever you give them. Asking them to prove their identity for your own security should never be offensive.
They’re isolating you from other sources. Are they encouraging you to avoid certain books, certain (not harmful) activities and people? Watch out. By making themselves your only resource, they keep you from learning info that would expose them and keep you reliant on them. Mentorship shouldn’t equal total dependence on them.
Their instructions are harmful. There’s something to be said for doing something outside your comfort zone, but there’s a clear difference between that and something destructive. If a “guide” is telling you to harm folks (including yourself,) mess with your diet in an unhealthy way, abandon helpful behaviors, etc., then that entity does not have your best interests in mind.
You’re giving more than you’re getting. The relationship is more about what you’re giving them, how you’re serving them, and doing what they say, but you aren’t actually learning anything. Your growth is not proportional to what you’ve been putting in to receive their guidance. They may keep delaying your lessons or only dolling out #wisdom instead of useful advice. You’re stuck constantly trying to ‘prove’ you’re ready.
Don’t blame yourself. It happens to the best of us, and getting duped or manipulated is never your fault. Consider it a learning experience.
Tell them to leave. The deal is off, you’ve caught onto their bs, and it’s time for them to leave you alone for good. Lots of spirits will willingly peace out once they’ve been caught. If they refuse to leave…
Banish them. Break out the sage bundles, the candles, the heavy metal music, whatever you need to do. If you need, ask a trusted friend to help. Even online pals may be willing to just send you some energy.
Cleanse everything. Cleanse your space, cleanse your tools, cleanse yourself. Get rid of any lingering energies the phony may have left.
Ward everything. Set up your security system so that the phony can’t return, and other fake guides can’t get in.
Tattle. If the phony was claiming to be a deity or another entity with a name, feel free to let the real entity know. “Hey Apollo, there’s a harmful spirit ‘round these parts who’s claiming to be you.” Rest assured they will handle it accordingly.
I literally just reblog stuff for my Book of Shadows, feel free to use these too. Blessed be.
