🧵⚡ Knot Spells: Weaving Magic with Intention ⚡🧵

Knot magic is one of the oldest and most versatile forms of witchcraft. With just a simple cord or ribbon, you can craft spells for protection, manifestation, or even to banish negativity. This hands-on practice allows you to literally tie your intentions into the fabric of your magic, sealing them with every knot.

Why use knot magic? Knot spells are practical, portable, and deeply personal. Each knot you tie becomes a physical representation of your energy and intent. They’re perfect for witches who enjoy tactile rituals and appreciate the beauty of working directly with their hands. Plus, they’re subtle—no one suspects a spell in your shoelaces or a ribbon in your hair!

How to Perform a Basic Knot Spell for Protection:

Choose Your Cord: Use string, yarn, or ribbon in a color that aligns with your intention. For protection, black or red are excellent choices.

Set Your Intention: Hold the cord in your hands and visualize your goal. For protection, imagine a shield of energy surrounding you or your space.

Tie Your Knots: As you tie each knot, repeat a phrase or affirmation aloud, like “With this knot, I seal my protection.” Common numbers for knot magic include 3, 7, or 9, as they hold significant magical power.

Seal the Spell: Once your knots are tied, you can carry the cord with you, hang it in your space, or place it on your altar to keep the spell active.

Creative Ideas for Knot Magic:

Protection on the Go: Tie a small cord with protective knots to carry in your pocket or bag.

Home Wards: Create a knot spell garland to hang above your door or windows.

Manifestation Bracelet: Use colored thread to tie knots symbolizing your goals and wear it as a bracelet until they come to fruition.

Knot spells are the epitome of practical magic—simple yet powerful. They remind us that witchcraft doesn’t need to be elaborate to be effective. A cord, an intention, and a few knots can weave wonders into your life.

Something I want to draw attention to in practicing any form of spirituality is to not let yourself become unhealthily obsessed with it. You don't have to look at everything as a sign from the divine or consult tarot for every single decision you make. It's important that you stay grounded and sometimes that means stepping out of a spiritual perspective, living life in the moment and following simply what your heart wants.

Choose your spell ingredients intentionally

It's all well and good to Google "spiritual protective herbs" and pick a couple random ones off the list, but do you understand why that herb is protective? Does it align with your intention?

I've always liked to use baking as an analogy for spellwork:

Let's say you want to bake a cake - yummy! You'll need flour for the basic structure, sugar to sweeten, eggs to bind the ingredients, a fat for texture and a leavening agent to make it rise.

So you pop to the shops and you grab bread flour, icing sugar, eggs, shortening and yeast.

Technically, these are all correct: bread flour is a flour, icing sugar is a sugar, yeast is a leavening agent etc. And they all work great for other baked goods! Yeast is great at making bread rise and icing sugar is super sweet on top of a cupcake.

But if you mix all of these together, the final result probably isn't going to be what you wanted. Why? Well because you haven't understood why each ingredient is needed or how a cake works!!

When crafting a spell it's important to understand what your intention is and how the spell is going to work - it can also help to think about how certain ingredients might interact within the spell.

The best way to start doing this is to experiment. Have a go at crafting your own spells and working with different ingredients. What does their folklore say? What does their energy feel like? How do they interact with the other ingredients! Keep a journal or notebook full of your notes as you build up your knowledge!

Understanding The Left-Hand Path

The Left-Hand Path (LHP) in witchcraft and the broader occult tradition refers to a set of spiritual practices, philosophies, and paths that emphasize personal empowerment, self-deification, and the pursuit of individual freedom. The Left-Hand Path is often contrasted with the Right-Hand Path (RHP), which typically focuses on spiritual alignment with external moral or divine laws. Here are some key aspects of the Left-Hand Path in witchcraft:

• Self-empowerment: LHP practitioners typically focus on achieving personal power and mastery, often rejecting traditional religious or societal constraints. This includes embracing one's own desires, will, and inner strength.

• Individualism and Autonomy: The LHP emphasizes personal autonomy, with practitioners believing that they are their own authority and can shape their fate through willpower and self-determination.

• Rejection of Traditional Morality: LHP practitioners may reject conventional moral standards, particularly those imposed by mainstream religions like Christianity. They believe in creating their own ethical framework based on personal growth and enlightenment rather than obedience to external laws.

• Occult Knowledge and Rituals: The Left-Hand Path often involves the use of occult rituals, symbols, and magick to tap into unseen forces or realms. These practices might include working with deities or spirits that are considered "dark" or "unconventional" within mainstream religious contexts.

• Deification and Transcendence: A central aspect of the Left-Hand Path is the idea of self-deification—becoming one’s own god or embracing the divine within. This process often involves transcending the limitations of the material world and the ego.

• Exploration of Taboo or Forbidden Knowledge: LHP practitioners are often drawn to exploring areas considered taboo or forbidden by mainstream religions, such as the study of death, the afterlife, or working with spirits traditionally seen as "evil" or "chaotic."

• Darkness and Shadow Work: The LHP is sometimes associated with the "dark" side of spirituality, including shadow work, which involves confronting one's hidden, suppressed, or negative aspects to achieve greater self-awareness and healing.

While the Left-Hand Path is often misunderstood as "evil," it is more about personal transformation and embracing one's true self, free from societal or religious conditioning. Some well-known figures associated with the Left-Hand Path include Aleister Crowley, Michael W. Ford, and other occultists who focus on self-development and magickal practices.

It’s important to note that the Left-Hand Path can vary significantly in its specific practices and beliefs depending on the individual or tradition. Some practitioners might lean more toward spiritual enlightenment, while others focus on power dynamics and mastery over external forces.

Talking to a someone who is also into occult stuff: Yea, I have weird feelings about calling it a "religion" or "spirituality". I consider myself a soft animist soft polytheist, but divinity is a construct and doesn't necessarily imply significance over other spirits, with a focus on nature energy. But then again, I've changed my mind often and recently, so none of this is set in stone. The best way I can describe it is just "witchy shit".

Talking to literally anyone else: yea, I'm pagan

O’ my Lord Lucifer, Lord Phosphoros, Great Attar Ishtar, Shining Helel,

I come to you again on this sacred day,

You, who graciously teaches the mysteries of the cosmos,

You, light bringer, who illuminates and liberates,

Giving dignity to the oppressed and forging revolution with your every step.

O’ God of outcasts, O’ mourning star,

You, who falls, who once lost everything, and built himself up again,

Who survived after exile and made a world for his own,

Who embraces his kin with unconditional love,

So that they may learn to love themselves.

God of freaks, God of rebels, God of free thinkers,

We hail your light, for it renews and transforms us.

God of movement, God of progress, God of struggle, God of chaos and control,

Who teaches us to be forged by the flames,

To burn away all that does not serve us,

How splendid is your presence,

You, who makes suffering bearable,

Who loves radically and freely, deeply and intensely,

Who frees the mind from the shackles of bondage and slavery,

And gives me wings to fly,

Who teaches me with intimate care,

Who gives me the strength to love again,

In your name, O’ God, I make myself in your image,

I color myself in your light, and I find you everywhere.

O’ Lucifer, O’ light bringer,

Even when your light cannot be seen, even when you fall below the horizon,

There’s a glimmer in my heart that trust fully in your return,

And you reward my heart, O’ Lord, every time.

In this new chapter, and as I consecrate this rite, I accept every part of you, and every lesson you have yet to teach me,

I give you infinite grace for all that you have already given me,

I forever invite you, O’ Lord, to be near me in all things,

For I await you as I always have, in the place I always do,

In the temple of my heart.

O’ Lucifer, so it shall be, as it has always been; as it shall be again.

Ave Lucifer, Hail thyself!

Thank you. 🖤

Happy Venus Day and a very blessed first rite to all Lucifer devotees!!!! ✴️💖

ode to the morningstar ; a devotional piece

i bite into the apple - crisp, tender.

the juice drips down my chin

and you wipe it, smiling.

does it taste sweet, child?

how sweet it is to be known

how sweet it is to devote

how sweet it is to love you.

i bite into the apple and crush it

between teeth like marble pillars,

and it tastes of freedom.

what does freedom taste like, child?

a kiss on the forehead

and a hand through my hair,

an embrace of feathers,

a voice like molten gold

and a laugh like sunlight,

a hand on my shoulder when i'm unsure.

you wipe my chin with your hand,

and i feel lost in your smile.

how sweet it is to be your child.
