Building Galaxys

An exercise for both the amount of energy you can hold and manipulate outside of yourself and building up your ability to visualize it.

Sit in a dark room pitch black if at all possible. You don’t want to be able to see any furniture or any distinctive features of the room if you can help it.

Begin by centering yourself. Tune out any background noise any passing thoughts. Let yourself become the single focal point of the space. Let the weight of your presence hang heavy in the space around you.

Begin with a single sphere of energy suspend it in space in front of you about a foot away. Allow it to orbit around you. Build another farther away and have it rotate in the opposite direction. And another until you have as many as you can maintain with ease. All spinning and orbiting you in different patterns, different sizes, and different with different mass. The point is to create as many different constructs as possible completely under your control. If you drop any or lose control, start over.

Then begin with points of light. Go slowly. Farther away from you. Little sparks of your energy filling the space around you at the edges of the room. Continue expanding. Make some fainter some dazzlingly bright. Some red. Blue. You get the idea. Again if you lose control or it falls apart start over. You won’t gain anything by rushing through this or by allowing yourself to take the easy path.

My Guide to Beginning Witchcraft

I’ve recently been receiving a lot of asks on how one would go about beginning their path with witchcraft. So, instead of just answering all of the asks with the same answer, here is my beginner’s guide to witchcraft.

1. Decide you want to be a witch. It’s as simple as that. All you have to do to be a witch is practice witchcraft. So the first step is honestly deciding you want to try it. You don’t need to be a part of any religion to do this. It is not satanic. You don’t have to be wiccan to be a witch. Just do you. 2. Have faith and know that you can do this. There are many people who have gone before you and paved roads towards success. Like a huge system of highways, you can go whichever way you like. You may hit dead ends and go in circles every once in a while, but you’ll always be able to go back. And you can make your own roads wherever you want. 3. Pick a certain branch to study first. Keep in mind you can always pick something else and/or blend practices together. My top favourite types of magic for beginners are protection magic, sigil work, and candle magic. Divination is another good thing to learn, but is hard for some. Creating sachets, using crystals, and using essential oils are all simple as well. However, depending on the branch you want to work with, you may find other things are more important. For example, if you want to be a sea witch, learning how to use things from the ocean could be your top priority. For kitchen and herbal witches, you could try researching herbs and their side affects. 4. Depending on what you’re working with, you need to do some research on safety practices. Crystals can be toxic, especially in water, since some can dissolve or release minerals. Herbs can be poisonous as well, even if all you do us touch them. This is not meant to scare you from using these things, it’s just a warning. 5. Read as much as you can about what interests you. It will really help when you’re doing spells and creating things, as you won’t have to turn to someone else for advice. However, look out for faulty authors and take everything you read with a grain of salt. There are many lists here on Tumblr with good and bad authors. I suggest reading some of @breelandwalker stuff. They’re amazing! Also keep in mind that cultural appropriation is a thing, and you need to be very careful with things you see and read about. Ex: smudging is Native American therefore we do not smudge we smoke cleanse. G*psy us a slur for the Rromani people. Voodoo is a closed practice as far as I know, as well as Santeria. Etc. 6. Practice. The first thing you should learn and practice, in my opinion, is protection magic. It’s useful in many situations and it doesn’t hurt to try. Do little things during the day, make sigils, practice energy work, and burn candles you anoint. I’ve made a list of couch witchcraft ideas on my blog as well. 7. Keep a spell book or grimoire either online/on a drive, or in a physical copy. I suggest using a binder so you can move around and add pages. I keep mine here on Tumblr as a masterpost. You can also keep a journal to see what spells work and which ones don’t. 8. Take care of yourself. Don’t get burned out with witchcraft by jumping all in too fast. It can be a draining practice, so make sure to get lots of sleep and eat well. Selfcare is so necessary with this! 9. Experiment. If it feels right, try it. As long as it doesn’t step on other people’s toes, you should be good! It’s fine to use faux candles, to substitute ingredients and practice without other people. Your practice is yours alone. 10. Believe in yourself! We all have inner power. Sometimes we can find this power through meditation, divination, or witchcraft. It’s really rewarding to see your hard work come to fruition.

Working With Spirits for Beginners

Before starting:

Protection!  Be it sigils or wards or poppet decoys or crystals or any of the like, make sure you have some sort of protection from mal intent.  

Ask yourself, where am I wanting this path to take me?  Are you wanting to have spirit teachers and learn new things? Are you wanting to be a medium?  Are you wanting to gain some friends?  Are you wanting to connect to different cultures and histories?  These kinds of questions will help you decide where to start and where to go from there!

Finding spirits:

One thing that you can research is having a spirit companion!  There are several blogs that I can’t think of off the top of my head that do personal conjurings, and other basically adoption centers!  If you do that, I would look for more beginner type spirits or just the ones that call out to you!  

If you don’t want a companion and are looking for something a little less permanent, I would look around you for something familiar.  Plants around you, your local cemetery, your favorite hike, seashells, crystals, bones, or any of that that you may have.  Most things have some spirit attached to them, including man-made objects, although those tend to be small colonies speaking through a representative (I can make a post on this later if you want).  

Starting Points:

There are two main starting points from here.  Sensing the spirits, and communication.  You can decide to focus on one, or even both!  I recommend starting with one at a time tho.

Sensing:

start reaching out, trying to find something.  It’s different for everyone, and it’s not something that you can feel and say, this is it.  You have to learn to trust yourself.  And even if you don’t, fake it ‘til you make it!  For me, feeling a spirit’s presence is subtle, but for others, it can be a really jarring experience.

Communication:

You can use tarot, telepathy, pendulum, ouija boards, oracle, images, runes, or anything similar!   If using telepathy, ask yourself the question, ‘was that reply me talking?’ and if your answer is immediately yes, then it was you.  But if you have a moment of doubt, believe that it was your spirit!

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me!  I’ll do my best to answer.

Here’s some advice I had about sigils, a fun and accessible way to make your life more magical! There was a lot I wanted to say so I hope it’s not too wordy.

“what do you mean you have low empathy? you’re such a nice person!” EMPATHY DOES NOT EQUAL COMPASSION. EMPATHY DOES NOT EQUAL KINDNESS. COMPASSION IS A CHOICE. KINDNESS IS A CHOICE. EMPATHY IS NOT A CHOICE, AND JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE DOESN’T HAVE EMPATHY DOES NOT MEAN THEY CANNOT CHOOSE TO BE KIND AND COMPASSIONATE. “LOW EMPATHY” DOES NOT MEAN “BAD PERSON.” “LOW EMPATHY” DOES NOT MEAN “BAD PERSON.” “LOW EMPATHY” DOES NOT MEAN “BAD PERSON.”

I hate existing and taking up physical space, I hate that people can see me, I hate having to constantly account for my body language out of self consciousness, if I could just live in another plane of existence as a spectator that occasionally interacts with reality when I’m in the mood that would be ideal
