BETTER SHIT TO PUT IN YOUR GRIMOIRES THAN THE BASIC SHIT EVERYONE SAYS:
Maps! Maps! MAPS! If you're a death witch, get one for the cemeteries you visit and mark gravestones/areas you've practiced in! Garden witches! Map out your gardens! Green witches! Map where you find specific herbs in your area! Lunar witches! Mark the best spots to go look at the sky! Make a key! Take notes!
Recipes for COMPONENTS! Write down how to make the mixtures you use in spells often- A special salt mixed with herbs and put under the moon, a mixture of oils for protection, the herb mixes sachets you keep making to add to sachets, whatever!
For green witches- press samples of stuff and glue them in! Go to an arboretum and ask for permission to take leaves to press, they'll usually let you take some- add them in with your notes about trees
Cool ways to make spells! I make spells in envelopes and on empty spools, what are some ways you do?
The local plants in your area and what they do. You're not going to be likely to find chrysanthemums to forage in Missouri, but you will find creeping charlie and prairie plants. What can you do with a thistle?
When you celebrate a sabbat, write down what you did and include samples! Ribbons from your Beltane altar, a pressed sample of your lemmas harvest, a scrap of your Yule decorations. Maybe do a spell and tape the remnants into your grimoire in a plastic baggie
Learn how to make an envelope out of paper just by folding it, how to string seeds, how to dry plants, how to macrame rocks and hang them from your window. Find those little witchy skills and write them down.
How to incorporate your hobby into your magic. Sigiling origami paper, weaving knot magick into your crochet, making blessed bookmarks, etc
Substitutes! Rosemary, rose and clear quartz are good for most things, but there are more substitutes to be used that are more powerful. Roanoke bells are good substitutes for bluebells, apparently.
Correspondences of odd things. Turns out different kinds of cats have different correspondences, huh.
Superstitions and such from where you're from.
For kitchen witches: easy to alter recipes. An egg noodle recipe that takes herbs really well, a simple bread recipe that can be dressed up for spells or rituals, how to make a good pie crust that you can sprinkle nutmeg in or whatever you desire.
Or: What foods go good with what herbs. You'll make a better apple pie (and get the benefits of apples, nutmeg, and cinnamon together!) If you know how your herbs taste together with your cooking. (Most kitchen witches know this stuff, but for a green witch who likes to make teas or a sea witch that likes to make soup, etc, this is important)

💜healing/mental health spell jar💜
all my spell jars follow the same kind of formula and are specific to my needs/preferences. this one is for healing myself in this new year 2018, focus is heavy on peace, connecting with my higher self and help from my deities. let me know if any of you guys try this! love and blessings❄️
❄️ingredients❄️ •amber incense- happiness, healing •dragons blood insence - dispel negativity, strengthen power of the spell •frankincense incense - dispel negativity, honour my deities (after all, they aid my healing every day) •moonstone - hope, relief, abundance •pink Himalayan salt - protection •lavender - peace, tranquility, sleep •baby’s breath - innocence, peace, tenderness, purity of heart •white candle
❄️how to❄️ • start by burning the incense (amber, dragons blood, frankincense) and either focus on your intention or ask your deity(s) for their help in this endeavour. whichever one you choose should be done while holding your crystal. • combine ashes in a mortar&pestle, add into jar • add one layer of salt • one layer of lavender • final layer of salt • add baby’s breath and moonstone • seal jar with white candle wax while focusing as best you can on your intention, white light surrounding you, you can do this, you will get better.
Keep somewhere you will feel it’s healing often❄️

The moon knows your name and watches over you every night. No matter how alone you feel, your howls will always reach her ears.

Paint your nails black to protect them from damage
Put a piece of paper with a sigil on it underneath your phone case

Make a flower crown!
Charge up and drink some Moon Water and Sun water
Eat foods with correspondences to what you want to bring into your life (ex. avocados for love and beauty)
Light some lavender incense to help you fall asleep
If you worship deities: bless little things that you do for them. (Ex. lighting candles)

Love spells that are easy?
Rose quartz under the pillow, salt and lavender (oil works too) mixed with water, pour your intentions into it and put it under your pillow to attune or next to your bed! If it’s self love then I’m front of the mirror and keep it there as needed. For someone else? I suggest you don’t use it for that purpose but carry it with you to make yourself attract the positivity and love you deserve (don’t force people to fall in love with you)
