“I discover quality new music.” A sigil I was inspired to make after a day of lovely musical discovery. Can be charged in a number of ways, but my preference is to do so with music, by putting it on a device or pair of headphones.

What To Do When You Are A Witch Suffering From Mental Health Issues

Otherwise known as; I am in a rut of self-pity and can’t muster the energy to get out of bed, let alone do a ritual.  I have eaten onion rings and regret for the past 3 days as my main meal, I am breaking out in acne, I can’t remember the last time I had a wash. Time has become meaningless. I can’t get out of bed.

Devotional Work

This is a big area where depressed witches start giving themselves a really hard time. The guilt of not being a good devotee can become overwhelming, you can convince yourself that your higher power is starting to hate you. None of this is true.

 You wouldn’t expect someone with a physically impairing illness to be able to go out and buy a higher power flowers and gifts. Please do not expect it from yourself. One of my biggest tips is that you need to find peace in the reality that you are hurting. Instead of trying to live like you’re well and exhausting yourself by doing tasks you are not ready for or giving yourself huge amounts of guilt by making yourself promises you can not keep, live within your means. There is no need to kill yourself trying to live a life that isn’t possible for you at the minute.

Have an honest conversation with your higher power. Let them know that right now, you are unable to perform conventional acts of devotion and assure them that the love is still there. They will understand. Sometimes they will give you help. One of the perks of being divine is that this higher power has known millions of people just like you. You are not the first devotee to suffer from depression and you will not be the last. They understand.

 Here are a few alternative acts of devotion that are more realistic to give you a base to start from.

Eat a meal in front of your altar / dedicate your meal to your higher power

Take a shower.

Clean a small portion of your messes (This can be as little as removing 1 cup from your room, remember, do what you can)

Take 5 minutes to just sit and think about your higher power.

Talk out loud to your higher power like you would a friend. 

Go outside for two or three minutes. If you can, go for a walk.

create a Spotify playlist for your higher power; play it only in times of devotion.

Watch a YouTube video about your higher power.

Make your bed.

Spend quality time with a pet.

Light a candle.

Spells

Spells as any seasoned witch will know, require at least a small modicum of personal energy. if you have none to spare, do not push yourself into doing one. There is no witch council looking down and judging you because you have not done a spell in a few months. A lot of people think I am a ‘perfect’ witch. I haven’t done a spell since around March and I hold absolutely no guilt over this. It’s not a requirement. There is more to witchcraft than doing spells. 

Having said this, if you are ready to do a spell, do not try to ‘cure’ yourself. You will only be disappointed and have more doubt and self-hatred in your craft when it does not work. You can NOT witch your way into curing depression. Fuck what Facebook groups and crystal healing ebooks have told you. No amount of rose quartz is going to make you love yourself until you are ready to do so. These things are fine used alongside treatment, as an afterthought.They are an aid; they are not and never will be a solution. See a doctor.

Instead of going into spellwork with the mindset of ‘I want to fix x problem’ go in with the mindset of ‘I want to aid the process of my body and soul being able to deal with x’. ‘I want to remind myself that I CAN recover from x’. This is why self-care is a very powerful form of witchcraft. You are merely asking for the traits you already have (power, strength, love) to be enhanced and renewed once again. You are not changing yourself. You are refining yourself into the person you always were. You are reminding yourself how wonderful you have always been.

Here are a few links I think you’ll find useful.

A Spell For Going On When It Seems Impossible

Research

When your brain is clouded from fog and time is a word you’ve forgotten the meaning of, do not worry about memorising long lists of spell item correspondences. It is an actual, medical fact that when depressed our memory gets worse and we are unable to retain, process and recall information like we once could.

The reality is that the 99% of witches do not remember spells, simple correspondences or tarot meanings off the top of their head. They all use a mix of pure intuition and double checking. I’ve been practising in various different forms for a long time now, somewhere between 7 and 9 years depending on how strictly you use the term witchcraft, and I can not and never will remember the meanings of every tarot card, spell ingredient or colour. I can’t remember ritual orders, incantations or the dates of the sabbats.

 I was not blessed with an encyclopedic memory, in fact, I’d go as far to say that my ‘off the top of my head’ memory of witchcraft is worse than someone who has been practising and studying for as little as 3 months. What I do have, however, is notes, books and 6 years worth of blog links to refresh my memory. There is absolutely no shame in having to refer to these resources and it does not make you any less of a witch. 

This is why grimoires are a thing. We all have this notion that it’s so you can look back in the future on your old workings or pass them down to a relative. While both of these things are true, grimoires are working active reference tools, just like any other website or book. Don’t be afraid to use them.

I hope you found this post useful and if you have any other thoughts feel free to add them!

Dealing with nonbelievers? ✨

The best way to disprove/ deal with nonbelievers is to simply keep existing. (This really applies to anything.) Just remember that you never owe anyone an explanation for who you are or what you enjoy doing and that nothing great ever came unchallenged. Stay safe, stay magical ❤️

how & when to cleanse your tarot cards ✨

how to cleanse:

shuffle - shuffle your cards for some time with cleansing intent.

sort the cards - put the cards back in the order of the major arcana from 0-21, wands, cups, swords, and then pentacles. let them stay like this for a short while, until you feel they’re cleansed, and then shuffle them again.

crystals - choose a crystal with your intent and place it on top of your deck, or create a crystal grid around it.

smoke cleansing - pass your deck through the smoke of burnt sage or rosemary, or through the smoke from insense.

sunlight/moonlight - natural light sources give healing energies to your deck. sunlight is more masculine, while moonlight is more feminine. keep this in mind when choosing a light source and what’s best for your deck.

meditation - meditate on the cards. this may be one card at a time or the whole deck at once.

yoga - do yoga with your deck, this will soothe and cleanse you both and create a stronger bond between you and your deck.

sound - use a song, a bell, or an instrument to wash vibrations over and through your deck to release energy.

salt - sprinkle salt gently over your deck or put your deck in an airtight bag and submerge it in a bowl of salt and let the salt absorb pent up energies.

sigils - write a cleansing sigil on a slip of paper and put it in the box or bag with your deck.

fresh air - set your deck on a windowsill by a cracked open window. allow the movement of fresh air to cleanse the pent up energy from your cards.

close contact - keep your deck beside or under your pillow as you sleep to both cleanse and build a close relationship with your deck.

when to cleanse:

brand new deck - if you bought or have been gifted a new or secondhand deck, the best way to sort out its energy is to cleanse it before the first use.

after each use - this is the best way to upkeep the health of your cards.

every day - a great way to take care of your cards, routine cleansing is a wonderful daily ritual for you and your deck.

when someone else touches it - energies can get muddled when someone other than the reader touches a deck.

after a complicated reading - your deck can run out of energy quickly when you ask it to do a complcated reading, and the best way to replenish these energies is to cleanse.

after not using it for a while - stagnant energies will build up in your deck if you go a while between uses. the best way to counteract this is a thorough cleansing.

with your life cycles - whether moon cycles, menstrual cycles, or sleep cycles, cleansing your deck when your energy is high can be a good idea.

whenever your deck tells you - sometimes you will be able to feel when your deck needs to be cleansed. a good cleansing and recharging is helpful when shuffling becomes difficult, you’re getting the same cards repeatedly, or you feel your deck run low on energy.

Hey

I’m sorry I haven’t been active lately. I’ve been going through a hard time and have fallen out of witchcraft, but I genuinely want to continue practicing. I’m trying to become active again. I appreciate all of you who stuck around, and welcome any of you to whom I’m just becoming acquainted.

HELP ME PAY FOR MY MEDS AND RENT

Hello. Six months ago I asked you to help me because my parents kicked me out after they found out I’ve fallen in love with a girl. I was working in their place and I lost that job too.

My boyfriend at that moment told everyone I know about this and spread some lies. He took my dog and a lot of my stuff. He stalked me. He found my tumblr as well and I had to make a new account.

I live in my friend house but it was really small so I slept on the floor in the pantry for the last five months.

Now I live in a tiny tiny room and have half time job as a waitress. 

Two months ago I finally went to psychiatrist and I was diagnosed with severe depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder. It was a lot to finally have someone to talk to about everything. The problem is that I don’t have the money for all of these meds she prescripted me. I already take asthma medications for couple of years and others for my sensitive stomach. The meds from psychiatrist are quite expensive because I had to choose private payd visit instead of free because they told me I had to wait four months for it. And I can’t wait that long. I have suicide thoughts and I’m afraid what I could do. And I’m still waiting for the therapy.

These are my meds now

And the proof of how much they cost

I can’t really afford for all of them right now. And I really need to use them because I already feel a little better and I don’t want to be depressed anymore.

And I don’t really have money for even food. I mostly eat only twice a day.

I hope this is enough proof for people who are attacking me saying that I’m lying.

I’m from Poland and here if you go to the private doctor you need to pay 100% for the meds even with the insurance. And the rest of them is still expensive even with 10 or 30% being cheaper.

Also we don’t have any coupons for meds and any apps. You have that in America, that’s great. But we don’t.

And this month my doctor added some new meds for my asthma (i had spirometry test and it came out pretty bad) and because of that right now I don’t have anough money to pay my rent.

I talked with my landorld who is a sweet older lady and she is so wonderful that she let me be a little late with my rent. So I have time to the end of the month.

I’ve made new posts and least five times because every time the post hits 1k notes people are starting to ignore it, thinking I already have thousand of dollars. Well I don’t, because people are just mostly reblogging it.

I know some people are annoyed by my friend asking everyone to reblog my post. She only wants to help me, because we know each other from childhood and now she is far away from me and can’t really help me. Please don’t be mean to her. She is an angel. And you are also annoying with me (if the messages about me just killing myself because i’m dirty lazy fagot tells anything) but please bear with me for few more days. I’m trying, I really am but it’s hard when you are all alone.

So if you could spare few dollars please send them via paypal

My email:  anne.du@mail.com

You can choose any currency you want. Thank you for any help! And please reblog this post. 

———————————————————————————————-

UPTADE: SUNDAY 28TH I STILL NEED HELP, PLEASE REBLOG. I STILL NEED AT LEAST 180$. I HAVE TWO DAYS LEFT TO PAY MY RENT!!

———————————————————————————————-

MORE UPTADE: HI, I’M @winchdean. i WANT TO INFORM YOU THAT ANNE IS IN HOSPITAL NOW BECAUSE SHE HAD BAD ASTHMA ATTACK. I DON’T KNOW HOW LONG SHE WILL BE THERE. I KNOW SHE IS ALONE. I CALLED HER PARENTS BUT THEY DIDN’T CARE. SHE NEEDS YOUR HELP EVEN MORE NOW. SO PLEASE REBLOG AND DONATE IF YOU CAN.

one word spells

As long as you can focus your energy and set your intention your spell should work, so I’ve designed these 5 spells using just one word for a Witch who needs a quick fix.

Mariquil

Pronounced mar-e-quil

Used to calm a temper or an upset person. From the latin word for sea, mare, and the english word tranquil. Essentially you are calling the sea inside them to be still. For better results cast with wet hands.

Univert

Pronounced Uni-var

Used for faster transport. I use it at the train station to have a shorter wait time but really its designed for traffic lights. By combining uni from universe and vert,the french word for green, you’re essentially asking the universe to make your path green.

Visididen

Pronounced Vis-e-did-en

Used to go unnoticed or invisible. Taken from the english words vision and hidden. For best results chant it softly while visualising yourself turning transparent.

Lapagna

Pronounced Lap-ag-na

Used when you just need someone to shut the f**k up but are too polite to say so. Taken from the Latin words lapis and magna, meaning stone and voice. For best results hold a stone or some earth while casting, if they’re really pissing you off just throw the stone or dirt at them.

Bavarignis

pronounced Bav-are-ig-ni

Used to strike up a conversation or to continue a conversation. Taken from the French word bavarder, which means chat, and the Latin word ignis, which means fire. Basically you’re asking for the conversation to spark or catch fire. For best results flick a lighter in your pocket or light a match.

[bluewitchbluelips]

Basic Spirit Work Advice:

Don’t give out the name that means the most to you, whether that’s your birth name or your nickname.

If an entity gives your their full name, don’t give that away to others. Use a nickname or a pseudonym to protect their privacy. 

If you have any feeling that there’s an unwanted or threatening entity in a space or your home, tell it to go away and show now fear. Do any kind of cleansing exercise that you use. Do not back down. Repeat and increase intensity if it doesn’t stop.

Don’t expect to hear voices, see entities, or get any kind of clear messages. It can take years of practice, and sometimes you just can’t. People on tumblr who share their experiences may be embellishing for clarity, and might receive messages in a less clear way than presented. 

If you have a specific, individualized method of protecting your spiritual area (especially with visualization), don’t share how you’ve made the wards or the specifics of them. It’s just good practice not to show your weaknesses.

The “color” of energy does not necessarily denote a specific universal meaning. I’m of the opinion that energy colors are filtered through your own established color system, so make sure you know what you believe - whether colors are linked to different elements, or alignments etc.

If you choose to bind an entity to an object, be aware that losing the object might change your relationship with the spirit in some way. I personally advise against binding spirits to things, given that they could easily be damaged or lost, but that’s your choice.

40 ideas for connecting with faeries

From researching many different sources!

Dried thyme sprinkled on doorsteps and windowsills will invite in faeries

Wearing thyme may enable you to see faeries

Seven grains of wheat laid on a four leaf clover may enable you to see faeries

Where oak, ash and thorn grow, faeries can be easily seen

Lilac flowers will draw sprites, and repel those that are ill-willed

Eating a primrose flower is said to give you faerie sight

Collecting 5 primroses and tapping them on a faerie rock may open a portal to fairyland

Place primroses on your door to receive a faerie blessing

Carrying a sprig of lavender may help you see faeries

Fresh flowers bring faeries. Keep house plants in your living space to invite in the faeries of those flowers.

Faeries are attracted to those with childlike hearts and minds

Carry with you a sprig of any flower or herb who’s faerie you wish to be close to

Place the sprig under your pillow to receive a dream from that faery

Bringing an acorn into your house will strengthen your connection to the faerie realm

Meditating on the appearance of the marigold flower may enhance your faerie sight

Grow a garden with flowers associated with the fae

Add faerie or gnome statutes to your garden; they find this amusing

Have a specific space in your home (a shelf, windowsill, table, etc) for the faeries to “live in”, and a spot to leave gifts for them (mine is in the garden)

Let a portion of your garden grow wild

Wind chimes hung in a window attract sprites

Faeries love music and dancing. Dance in nature with them, or sing / play a song for them

Create art for them, and draw the faeries you meet.

An often used method of seeing faeries is letting your eyes go out of focus and pay attention to the corners of your vision.

Crushed clover rubbed on eyelids may give one faerie sight

Give back to the earth, for what you take. Pick up trash you find in nature, try to use less plastics, don’t waste food, compost your fruits/vegatables/herbs for rich soil.

The best times to see faeries are dawn, dusk and midnight (the in-between times)

Hang glass, crystals, and beads in your window for the sun to shine through; faeries like glittery & sparkly things.

Wearing a crown of elder twigs on may eve will enable you to see faeries

Go out and just sit in nature, simply enjoying it. You can also practice sensing sprites

While it is dangerous to enter a faerie ring, running around it exactly nine times clockwise under a full moon will allow you to see and hear the faeries dancing inside it (note though, the faeries may take offense if this done on Beltane or Samhain)

Heather is said to open portals to fairyland

Looking through a stone with a natural hole, a hagstone, is said to allow one faerie sight

Add a sigil on your door or window meaning “good faeries welcome”

Leave out a small saucer of milk for any household faeries

Try sitting in your garden in the early morning, late afternoon, evening, night

Look up artists who specialise in faeries and observe their different interpretations of the fae (Brian Froud, Amy Brown, Sulamith Wülfing, Cicely Mary Baker, Howard David Johnson, Nadia Strelkina, etc)

Read real life accounts of people’s encounters with faeries

Read traditional fairie lore

Believe. Faeries most likely won’t interact or make themselves known to closed minds

Don’t forget to be polite and respectful!

Now finished: Safety tips for dealing with the fae and protecting against them
