Emoji spell for good luck

[coding-emoji-spells]

I really like the idea of using ciphered text or script in spells. I feel like it adds a mystery element that can be beneficial in many ways, mostly making the spell harder to tell what it is by other parties, adding a self-cloaking effect on top. The person trying to get through to it has to go through the cipher as well as any other things you have protecting the spell, which can also make the spell harder to undo for those who don't have the key.

What I do is make the spoken sections into ciphered text, and I do my best to read the ciphered text which does come out as garbled nonsense, but because I know what it actually reads, I still have the power here.

I've been using the Caesar Cipher and Daedric Script (the latter might not be as ciphered as it's a public script though) myself for testing purposes, but you could use any or a handmade cipher or make your own script, which I plan on making my own personal cipher and script to use for it.

I can also see Wingdings being a possibility.

Plaintext & Emoji Spell: Warding

[ID: A plaintext and emoji spell written out. It's within a decorative text box, with the ciphered text reading "P klthuk aoha hss aopunz mhszl huk bupucpalk hyl nvul myvt tf zwhjl". It is surrounded by various emoji, a broken heart, a moose, a siren, a nazar amulet, a firecracker, scissors, and a salt shaker. There is also an upright and inverted pentagram within the box. /end ID]

See an alternate casting version of this spell under the readmore.

(For transparency, the cipher text is the Caesar Cipher to the degree of 7, and the plain text is "I demand that all things false and uninvited are gone from my space." As well, it's an image to maintain formatting.)

⛤ TO CAST: Pick one of the following...

printing it out or drawing it by hand onto paper and leaving in the relevant place

putting it onto a flashdrive and leaving the flashdrive where you want it

say the ciphered text to the best of your ability, even if it's just reading each individual letter (or, you can say the unciphered text)

You can see the plaintext here for copy/pasting:

╭ ⚬ ══════════ ♢ ══════════ ⚬ ╮ 💔 🫎 🚨 ⚬ 🧿 🧨 ✂️ P klthuk aoha hss aopunz mhszl huk ⛤ — 🧂 — ⛧ bupucpalk hyl nvul myvt tf zwhjl. ✂️ 🧨 🧿 ⚬ 🚨 🫎 💔 ╰ ⚬ ══════════ ♢ ══════════ ⚬ ╯

I highly suggest putting it into a document and centering it for formatting reasons.

Happy casting!

Pinterest Boards as Spellcasting Tools / Spell Jars

The main thing to note is that Pinterest has images for basically any tool and ingredient to some degree. Need a ghost pepper? They got pictures. Need canola oil? They got pictures. Need peacock feathers? They got pictures! It's got pictures of ingredients that are hard to acquire, be it due to cost, being out of season, not available in your local area, etc. As witches, we should all be able to adjust our practice to what is available to us, but Pinterest can also work for this.

Okay, how does one do this?

This step is up to your debate, but either make a Pinterest board to serve as a grand shelf of sections for your digital spell jars, or make a board per spell. I prefer the former, personally.

Name your board/section what you want it to do - One I have is named "stay the frick away", to serve as a warding spell jar. It looks like this:

I have black pepper, peacock feathers, olive oil, and ghost peppers in there. The oil contains it all, while the other objects are there for keeping away and warding.

One could also make sigils and upload them to Pinterest if you're comfortable with them being seen/used/saved by others, though I believe there's a way to private pins by only uploading them to secret boards? I don't upload to Pinterest myself, so... I dunno on that one.

What do we do with the board once it's done?

Few suggestions: Say an activation prayer/invocation above it, keep it open on a background app on your phone, keep the board open in a background page on your PC or phone web browser.

If you want to be a bit more ritualistic, you can add candles and/or incense burning videos to the board, before deleting them or exchanging them with melted candles or pictures of ash to represent them having burned down. This is to act out the process of adding power into the spell jar/board.

I prefer the first one, I believe that if I say that it is now active, it being on my Pinterest account makes it active to me for essentially ever until the section is deleted or I say a deactivation prayer/invocation, much like how a spell jar is active until it runs out of juice or is dismantled. But by keeping the app/browser page open, that'd also work for keeping it on your person.

You could also use the images from the board to make a collage that you then print, but that kinda steps a bit away from the purely technowitchcraft aspect.

What about the fact spell jars run out of juice and stop working eventually?

One could remake the board, add more of the same ingredients to the board, or re-pray/invocate an activation over it. I suggest the first one, because the ingredients will run out eventually, and making a new board with intent appears to be the most potent.

If you want to be a bit more ritualistic still, you can repeat the candle/incense trick. This is to act out the process of adding in more power, so they have the ability to continue their job.

One could also just move onto the next step if the spell board did its job.

How does one deactivate it?

Either delete the board/section, or say a deactivation prayer. Deleting the board is more like dismantling, and if you want to do it with a bit more intent, slowly delete every pin or move them into the greater board if you're using sections as an "ingredient" board. Deactivation allows you to keep the board for the future, but this might not fit your preferences.

As always I provide my suggestion, which is to slowly dismantle the board and ultimately delete the section. If I need the jar still, I just re-create it afterwards.

Conclusion

If you'd like, order them in a way that feels right for the board - Such as bowls for money bowls as the bottom-most image, to "hold" all the other items.

Technowitchcraft is great for many reasons, including the cost effectiveness, versatility, and ease of access. So I wanted to contribute to the process a bit, by making this.

Happy casting!

I could see the use of git (a useful tool to master!) to a private repo a way to 'push' and 'pull' energy into sigils if you store them as plaintext ASCII art (rubs hands together excitedly)

Ah yes, a hypersigil! Several Tumblr posts have been written on the topic of hypersigils [source 1] [source 2] and I agree that a website - or even a Tumblr blog, wink wink and nudge nudge and whatnot - could certainly be a functioning hypersigil. It's so much fun to think about, isn't it?

if I send a lot of interactions on your way, it is because my current hyperfixation is coding and I've been thinking about how to make magic with that for a while

The more the merrier, honestly! Some of us - insert pointed glance at Dev F - are better at coding than others - insert pointed look at myself in the mirror. We're kind of just poking around and seeing what works, what doesn't, and what looks neat. Sometimes that means that our projects fail. Other times, it means that we make really, really long posts about emoji spells.

Note: In order to conjure this spell correctly in your python interpreter, you must re-indent the lines correctly as Tumblr did not preserve them!

Taking inspiration from @coding-emoji-spells and doing some circle opening and circle closing, but make it technopagan (and aligned with the spirits I work).

webdeveloper here! maybe webformats can serve good for spells. also code comments too maybe. Ive been thinking abt it for a while

Ooo, that would be interesting! We could also use more HTML-style stuff for the more "permanent" type spells. Dev F and I will have to explore more!

From which programming language are you taking inspiration ? How did you develop your magic prog language ? I'm curious about your process

(I'm in love with your blog, it let me think around technopaganism)

[Open text:

Honestly, I'm not sure? I've seen several programming language breakdowns but I genuinely can't keep track of any of them. That's part of what I'm hoping to fix through. You know. Actually learning coding one of these days. Currently, I'm just throwing things at the wall and seeing what sticks!
