“He’s using a lot of hot water,” Calcifer said from under the pan. “I think he’s tinting his hair. I hope you left the hair spells alone. For a plain man with mud-colored hair, he’s terribly vain about his looks.”

A Glamour Spell, Howl Jenkins style

Items Needed:

Shampoo

1 Pink Candle - optional

A Mirror (preferably mounted on the wall) - optional

A Shower or Bath

Your smokin’ hot self (All of you are smokin’ hot, end of discussion.)

Step One: While in the shower, begin washing your hair. Focus on your intent of catching the eye/capturing the attention of people around you. Focus on what you want them to see. What do you want them to see that catches their attention?

Step Two: While you think of the stuff from step one, keep washing your hair. Imagine the energies from your intent seeping into your hair, your scalp, and flowing through you. Tell yourself what you want people to see in you. Repeat it over and over again, like you’re programming the energies you just sent through yourself.

Step Three: When you rinse your hair, imagine the water taking all of your negative energies away (as if you were cleansing yourself), leaving only your positive energies and the energy from your intent behind. Focus on strengthening those energies (keep telling yourself what you want people to see/visualize it/etc.)

Step Four: Once you get satisfied with what you’ve done, you can carry on as usual after you’ve finished washing your hair. (The steps from here on out are an optional ending)

Step Five: When you get out of the shower and dried off, go to a mirror (it has to be clear, so if your mirror is steamed up after the shower, you can wait a while or go to a different mirror). Safely light the pink candle and either set it in front of you or hold it in front of you (be careful that your hair/towel/clothes/etc. doesn’t get it in, of course).

Step Six: Look at your reflection in the mirror. Imagine yourself getting the attention of everyone around you. Again, picture what you want them to see that captures their attention. Is it a physical quality? A mental quality? Both? What do you want them to see in you?

Step Seven: Say the following as many times as you want:

I wish for others to see me As I want me to be. Let their gaze drift my way And see exactly what I want them to see. This is my will, I say, So may it be.

When you’re done, blow out the candle. Aaand you’re done!

(The optional ending was just to strengthen it, in case you didn’t feel like you really accomplished the glamor while in the shower.)

Aplicativos para bruxas

A tecnologia pode ser uma grande aliada para bruxas e bruxos, principalmente aqueles que têm de ser discretos na sua prática. Aqui vão indicações de alguns aplicativos que eu uso/já usei:

Galaxy Tarot: Um ótimo aplicativo para começar a aprender tarot, e fazer leituras mesmo sem ter um baralho físico. (Em inglês)

Golden thread Tarot: Similar ao Galaxy, mas com um deck diferente, e voltado para leituras pessoais e auto conhecimento. (Em inglês)

Herbalismo Wicca: Apesar de ter Wicca no nome, ele pode ser usado por qualquer bruxa de qualquer religião. Possui um bom acervo de ervas e suas correspondências mágicas, e tem tradução para o português.

Simple Moon Phase calendar: Mostra as fases da lua em um calendário, e tem a opção de um widget muito bonito para tela inicial.

Vela: Nome auto explicativo, para quando você não puder acender uma vela de verdade. Possui opção de mudar a cor da vela para corresponder á intenção do feitiço.

Meu horóscopo: Previsões astrológicas diárias ^^

Sky Map: Mapa do céu para localizar constelações e planetas.

Star Walk 2: Mesma função do sky map só que mais elaborado (e ocupa mais memória)

Bússola: Útil para se localizar em feitiços que utilizem pontos cardeais.

Diaro: Um diário pessoal com senha simples com sistema de organização por categorias e tags, ótimo para ser usado como grimório digital. A versão Pro permite sincronização em vários dispositivos, vale a pena comprar!

Lucidity: Aplicativo que ajuda a conseguir ter sonhos lúcidos, e anotar seu diário de sonhos.

Como feitiços realmente funcionam

Traduzido de Violet Witchcraft

Antes de lançar um feitiço, você deve saber os conceitos básicos disto!

Feitiços têm um monte de formas diferentes. Algumas pessoas criam seus feitiços na forma de uma oração para o deus de sua escolha, pedem aos espíritos para guiá-los, e outros simplesmente fazem tudo eles mesmos. Pessoas que nem sabem o que é feitiçaria lançam feitiços o tempo todo. Mas o que faz um feitiço funcionar?

Feitiçaria é, em seu nível mais básico, manipulação de energia. É o processo de você colocar sua energia pessoal no mundo na direção de uma certa meta para gerar mudança. Você lançou essa energia para o mundo, deu á ela uma direção e isso está empurrando a energia para a sua meta, causando uma mudança. O jeito de como isso funciona pode variar dependendo de a quem você pergunta, mas este é um princípio bem básico dos feitiços.

Então é importante ter em mente que lançar um feitiço não significa que seu objetivo vai acontecer. Isso apenas muda as coisas um pouco mais a seu favor, torna as coisas mais possíveis. Feitiços são uma ajuda para situações da vida real, eles não criam as situações. Isso significa que que existirá uma chance maior de seu objetivo acontecer, mas não é definitivo. Você ainda precisa trabalhar na sua meta fora da bruxaria! O feitiço está lá para ajudar você mas isso não pode fazer todo o trabalho.

Perguntas comuns:

Então como espíritos e deidades entram nisso?

Muitas pessoas oram, fazem rituais ou oferendas para pedir ajuda ás deidades. Isso é essencialmente a mesma coisa de lançar um feitiço, pois eles também estão apelando á fontes divinas para ajudá-los colocando essa energia. Com espíritos é a mesma coisa. As pessoas pedem aos espíritos para emprestar sua energia e proteção.

Posso fazer um feitiço para ganhar na loteria?

Você pode, mas não espere ganhar. As chances são tão baixas que a pequena ajuda que um feitiço proporciona não vai fazer muita diferença.

O que você quer dizer com energia?

A energia básica que permite que você viva sua vida diária. Isso pode ser a adrenalina de quando você corre, o pensamento de antecipação que você tem antes de fazer algo, o crescente sentimento de empolgação e tensão. Tudo isso pode ser colocado em um feitiço. Você também pode usar emoções extremas como raiva, felicidade, alegria, tristeza...

Você tem alguma prova de que isso funciona?

Além de minha experiência pessoal e as experiências de toda a comunidade pagã? Não. Mas não existe nenhuma prova de qualquer religião além das experiências pessoais dos praticantes. Milhões acreditam nisso. Em primeiro lugar, se você está em blog de bruxaria procurando por isso então eu não sei porque você pediria por uma prova.

Dica de Bruxa

Envelopes podem ser ótimos para colocar seus feitiços dentro!

São baratos, podem ser pintados, você pode escrever neles, podem ser queimados, são biodegradáveis, e não são coisas estranhas de se ter em casa.

Você pode enterrá-los e você pode até mesmo amarrá-los em volta de velas se não enchê-los muito.

Uma ótima dica!

How to Enchant an Object

1. Always start with intent. What is the goal of the enchantment? Beauty? Fear? Love? Once decided, gather your ingredients. Remember that they can be physical, such as dried herbs or crystals, or it can be your own energy.

2. Select an object to enchant. I find that jewelry works very well with enchantments, but almost any object will do. Personally, I believe that the material of the object you are enchanting will affect how long the spell lasts (I’ve found that metal holds it the longest).

3. Pick a time to do the spell. Depending on your beliefs, the time of day, lunar cycle, or day of week may strengthen or weaken the effects of your enchantment.

4. Place the object amid your spell components. So, if using physical components, place it in a glass bowl (or the floor, a hole in the ground, etc.) with your ingredients. If using energy, place it in your hands, or alternatively, hold your hands over the object (note: or another body part. It doesn’t have to be hands. I have done enchantments that are completed with a kiss, or require stomping. Again, it all depends on the intent).

5. Regardless of the type of ingredients you are using, imagine that your selected object is filling with new powers. The energy from your body - or from your ingredients - is being sucked out and absorbed. What color is this energy? Does it move quickly or slowly? Does it make a sound, or give off a smell? How do you feel imaging it? If it were to talk, what would it say? Know the energy. When you feel as though the object you are enchanting is teeming with new powers, gently bring your mind back to the present. Your enchantment is complete.
