How to Set Intentions

Always in witchcraft there is going to be a spell or ritual that asks you to set your intentions in order to reach the goal desired. We always hear “set your intentions”, but we never get to hear how to set your intentions. Here, I’m going to give you a step by step guide on how to set your intentions for rituals, spells and anything else that requires your focus.

1. Write down your primary ideas for what you want your intention to be about

Example:  I want to be rich, I want to be able to buy things without worry of money, I want to have more tangible assets

2. Analyze your ideas for common themes. What is the main goal you are trying to reach?

Example: Money, Abundance, Wealth

3. Use the themes found to identify your intention. Always be as precise as possible.

Example: I will have an abundance of money, I will have excess cash to live comfortably

4. Write your intention on a specific piece of paper with as few words as possible, but be very specific.

These simple steps will allow you to understand how to set your intentions in an exact manner which will strengthen any spell or ritual you plan on doing. I hope this helped. Thank you for reading!

🚩 Witch Red Flags 🚩

These are some things that I consider red flags in witches I have come across before:

Believes only women can be witches.

Believes that magic/spirituality/energy/crystals can cure mental illness, physical illness, chronic illness, and disorders.

Doesn't respect closed paths or practices.

Tells others how their paths should be.

Won't stop telling witches they need to protect themselves from deities.

Thinks they are more powerful than anyone else, won't stop talking about how powerful they are.

Judges all witches with Wiccan rules.

Treats baby witches like they are somehow idiots and don't deserve respect.

Calls themselves a fancy title without being able to back it up.

Thinks hereditary witches are more powerful/better than first generation witches.

These are just a few I've noticed. If you know of any others, add them in reblogs or replies!

Household Spells

Here are a few of the spells/rituals I use for cleansing, household harmony, etc! :) 

Cleansing Simmer Pot/Floor Wash: 

- Rosemary, to clear out and ward off negative or stale energy.

- Garden sage (if you need a particularly strong cleansing. Sage does clear all energies, not just negative, so be aware)

- Mint, to purify and rejuvenate the space. 

- Rainwater to wash away old energy. 

- Some butterfly pea blossoms if you’re wanting to really transform the energy of the house, since transformation is a strong property of butterfly pea. 

- I sometimes add a bit of vanilla to add peace and calm to the house as it is cleansed.

Put all of the above ingredients either into a tea strainer/coffee filter, or just straight into a pot of water, depending on how you intend to use it. If you just intent to make a simmer pot, you can just put the herbs in as they are, but if you intend to add them to water to mop, or intend to use it to wipe down surfaces, I recommend putting them in something to strain them so loose herbs don’t end up on your surfaces. 

Cleansing Powder to Absorb Negative Energy:

- Salt, to clear and absorb negative energy 

- Black pepper, also to cleanse/banish negativity. 

- garden sage, if you want to add extra punch

- Baking soda, to absorb negativity. (I don’t have any real source for baking soda being used for that besides it’s physical properties of being useful for absorbing spills and cat puke, so I figure magickally it could work similarly). 

Mix these ingredients in a bowl, and sprinkle over an area you intend to sweep or vacuum with the intention that it will absorb any of the negativity lingering in the space. Then sweep or vacuum the space, and throw out the powder and with it, the negativity. 

Household Harmony Simmer Pot/Floor Wash: 

- Vanilla, for peace and happiness. 

- Cinnamon, for communication and harmony. 

- Apple peel, for prosperity in the home. 

- Coffee, to remove obstacles to family harmony, and for communication. 

- Rosemary, to protect the home from negativity. 

- Lavender, for peace and harmony. 

- Blackberry, for improved communication

Same as with the cleansing spell, this can be made into a simmer pot or sometime to wash surfaces with. If you use it to wash surfaces, I recommend you water it down quite a bit with some water and vinegar, or remove the blackberries so that the fruit doesn’t make the floor sticky or attract bugs.
