“Give Me Strength” Spell Jar

This is a spell jar that I concocted in an attempt to bolster my waning physical and mental strength due to the symptoms of one of my chronic illnesses being somewhat worse than usual (thanks, medicine change!). 

This jar won’t suddenly make you physically stronger.  The aim of it, is to give you the strength you need to deal with whatever it is that may be sapping your strength from you. Well, perhaps “give you the strength” isn’t quite what I mean - think more along the lines of it giving you the determination you need to get shit done.

INGREDIENTS:

Calendula for endurance.

Coffee (ground, beans, powder - it doesn’t matter) for energy.

St. John’s Wort for willpower/determination. 

Selenite for focus.

Smokey Quartz for grounding.

Combine the ingredients together in a jar and seal the jar with yellow wax. 

Keep it on your person when you have crafted it to give yourself a magic[k]al kick.

Old Mother Redcap's "Employ Me" Spell

This spell is designed for people struggling to gain employment. It is for those who already have a position or industry in mind. Items needed: - Large jar - Your current resume - Fire proof bowl - Matches/lighter - Taper candle  - Sugar - Cinnamon - Devil’s shoestring - Magnets - Dirt from preferred place of employment - Business cards or job ads Method: Take your candle - can be green coloured or a colour that represents the job, for instance, the colour of their uniform/logo. Carve into it the position you wish to work as… this can be easily done with a large needle or skewer. Set aside. Place your jar in front of you. First, fill it with some dirt from your preferred place of employment. Fold up the business cards or job ad tightly, and wrap the devils shoestring around them securing tightly. Place them into the jar. Throw in the magnets. Grab your resume and rub it all over with the cinnamon. When you’re rubbing the cinnamon onto your resume, visualise yourself acing the interview and gaining the job. Set the resume on fire and burn it to ashes in the fire proof bowl. Tip the ashes into the jar. Leave some cinnamon aside in a small bowl.  Throw the sugar into your jar and seal tightly. Place your candle onto the lid, securing it with a bit of tac or you can use a small candle holder. Make sure you have something underneath the jar to catch any wax.  Light the candle and visualise, again, job success.  On the morning of any interviews, rub your right palm with a little bit of the cinnamon that you kept leftover, and make sure you shake the interviewers hand.

✨ signs your desire is manifesting! ✨

1. you start seeing it everywhere or hearing other people talking about what you want to manifest. i.e if you’re trying to manifest a yellow jeep, you’ll start to see yellow jeeps everywhere you go!

2. you’re seeing 11:11 all the time! bonus if you see it while you happen to be thinking about your goal.

3. you start to give up. manifestations have a habit of pupping up right when we’re starting to lose hope. this is because we become attached. 

4. your vibration rises and you start to feel excited! 

5. you’re given stepping stones! i.e you’re trying to manifest a soulmate and you get asked on a date with someone who might not be soulmate material. it’s a step in the right direction and the universe is giving you a taste of your true desire!

6. you get the opposite of what you asked for. sometimes the universe will do this as a way to test if we really want what we think we want!

7. you have vivid dreams of your desire.

8. you suddenly feel a sense of calm rather than desperation! 

these are some of the main things that i’ve noticed, feel free to add on with your own experiences !!

As requested, it begins.

Starting Down the Path

You’ve heard of witchcraft or witches and magick and you want to start doing it. There are a couple things you should consider before you proceed.

First: what is magick?

It’s not like Hocus Pocus. You’re not going to start chanting a spell right before you’re about to be hanged for eating children’s souls and then come back to life years later.

We don’t do “magic.” Sleight of hand is not what we’re here for. Neither do we conjure roses out of cigarette cases nor cut pretty women in half for large audiences nor bring forth the fires of Hell into our hands.

Personally, I’ve come to view magick as being about channelling your intuition and will, by using the tools and materials that call to you and your innate power to guide/manipulate the flow and direction of the energies and vibrations around you, in order to send your message and will out to the universe, or the powers that be, as a tangible force.

It’s about taking control of the going-ons in your life and taking purposeful action to re-align certain situations in the direction you want them to be going.

So, from my perspective, spells and rituals will only be as effective as you let them be. If you doubt yourself and your process, you are adding that element to your workings.

Second: do you know how to protect yourself and your energy?

You’re not the only person in this world, and just as there are people out to hurt others in the physical realm, the same is true of the spiritual.

Witchcraft is not all fluffy cats and steamy chai tea with half-and-half cream and sugar.

Did you know you can get hurt in the astral realm?

Did you know spirits can get attached to you or your surroundings?

And just like how external forces can hurt you, so can you yourself. Did you know that spellwork and divination can drain your energy? Do you know what burn out is? Do you know how to combat these things or undo them?

I’m not trying to scare people off of witchcraft. These things are manageable if you start off your practice with a good foundation. It’s just that as a witch, you’re putting out a lot of strong, focused energy, something that the people around you might not know how or actively do.

I tell my witchy babies to think of it like a beacon when you first start out.

You’re really excited. You just learned about witchcraft. You want Alex to leave you alone, and you have found just the spell. You are pumped.

But what you might not know is that other entities are out there and they tend to follow around and seek out people like you, people doing magick and exploring their craft.

So before you jump into witchcraft, take some time to protect yourself and learn the basics. And while you do so ask yourself: what does magick mean to me? Why witchcraft in the first place? The answers to these questions can tell you a lot about where your path is headed and what topics you should look into for developing it.

∆Some tips for Tarot Readers∆

When you first get a deck that you plan to work with, don’t forget to take time to bond with it, keep it with you wherever you go for a few days, shuffle and get used to its feel.

Not all reversed cards mean the opposite of the upright meaning, some could simply be hinting that the actions of the situation the querent is asking about takes place under the surface of things.

Sometimes the cards don’t mean exactly what their description is, there could be a hidden interpretation that requires your intuitive and observation skills.

Listen to your intuition, whether it’s deciding on shuffling the deck just one more time, or what the cards and the forces that influence them are trying to really say.

Repeats of numbers, suits and elements are always something to keep in mind, these can prove what kinds of things are influencing the situation the most.

If you encounter many major arcana cards within the reading, this should not be overlooked and their placement in the spread is more often than not, heavily influential.

You can ask your question aloud, think it or infuse the cards with the inquiry by simply charging the cards with the question and energy.

Cleansing your deck(s) after and between uses can be as simple as leaving it in a circle of salt, placing it under the moonlight, or running it through incense smoke.

If you’re doing a reading for a querent that is physically with you, (and as long as you’re comfortable with it), allow them to cut the cards or touch the deck before you cut them. This can bring more of their energy into the reading and assist the outcome.

Don’t forget that you can infuse and charge your deck with specific energy and vibrations, whether you choose to do this hands on, or by placing a certain crystal, stone or object with the deck.

I hope these are able to help or inspire!!! I may make a second post, going into more tips and detail!!

From infusions and tinctures to oils and salves: The basics of herbal healing and the beginnings of any potion. 

Decoction: A decoction is needed to extract the deeper essence from harder substances such as barks, roots and stems. Place the raw materials in a pot and fill it with fresh water. Simmer uncovered until the water lever is reduced by 1/3. Strain the resulting liquid to remove particulates then drink or use as needed. Infusion: Pour freshly boiled water over the desired herb or planar matter, roughly 8 ounces of water per teaspoon of dried plant parts. When using fresh herbs roughly 3 times as much is required. 

Oil: Place flowers, herbs or other plant parts in a sealed glass container. Fill the container with an organic oil (ex: Olive, sesame, etc…) until it is an inch above the material being used. Place the bottle somewhere warm for 2 weeks, next to a stove while cooking, on the mantle, a sunny window sill, etc. Upend the container daily to ensure the oil saturates the material. 

Ointment: Heat 2 cups of pure lard to frying temperature. Add 4 handfuls of crumbled dry herbs or 6 handfuls of chopped fresh herb to the lard. Stir to to blend and let simmer for 1 minute. Remove from heat, cover and let sit over night. Reheat until liquid then mix in 4 tablespoons of an organic oil, this will prevent it hardening to much. Squeeze through a cheese clothe to remove solids and store in a crockery or glass container. 

Salve: Mix 3 ounces of finely pulped plant parts, 7 ounces of lard and 1 ounce of beeswax. When thoroughly mixed simmer over low heat in active red pot for 1-2 hours. Remove from eat and allow to cool. 

 Tincture: A tincture uses alcohol to extract the properties of a herb or plant. Loosely fill a glass container with fresh or dried herbs and add some sort of food grade spirit (ex: vodka), vinegar can also be used for certain ingredients. Cork or otherwise seal the container and leave somewhere warm for 2 or more weeks.

What to do when you are too tired for advanced witching

🔥 Fire witches:

Light a candle or a stick of incense. Focus on the flame, the burning. Envision bonfires, hear the crackling of wood. Close your eyes and observe the spectacle underneath your lids.

💨 Air witches:

Open your window for a minute or two. Let the wind caress your face, let your lungs be filled with fresh air. Extend your hand through the window and allow it to flow.

💦 Water witches:

Take a bowl and fill it with water. Bury your hand inside it, feel the temperature shift. Then take it out. Observe the ripples. Imagine the quiet murmur of a mountain brook and the crashing thunder of ocean waves.

🍀 Earth witches:

Water your plants. Contemplate the patterns in which the soil soaks up. Brush the leaves and whisper a quiet ‘thank you’ for providing you with the gift of life. Dip your finger in the soil and smear it across your hand.

🍵 Kitchen witches:

Brew yourself some tea. Sit comfortably and raise the cup closer to your face. Inhale the scent of the drink, rejoice in its richness. Taste the bouquet and let yourself be swayed with sensations.
