Low-Energy Ways to Work with Nature and her Spirits:
Look outside. That's it - just open the curtains and see the sunlight, find the trees outside your window and watch the birds.
Put on a documentary or youtube video about a cool animal, ecology, the natural world etc
Talk to nature - whisper, talk out loud, say it in your head - just talk. Compliment pretty flowers, chat about how creepy but cool you think spiders are, picture light dancing off morning dew.
Trace the shapes of leaves/flowers/animals etc on your bed sheets or skin - try to see how many different shapes make up the natural world, find the patterns and fractals within them
Learn the name of one new local plant a week! Just one a week! If you have the energy, research a little about their ecology, history or medicinal uses
Make a flower crown/daisy chain/leaf crown
Take up nature photography - you don't need a fancy camera, jsut your phone!
Collect some shells/rocks/bones etc!
Just sit outside! can be just outside your front door, next to an open window, or in the woods (whatever you can manage)
Take your daily activities outside!! Read in the garden, eat your breakfast under the sun etc
Create art from nature - paint rocks, press flowers, create patterns using feathers or leaves as paintbrushes/stamps
Cloud watching!
More High Energy Activities:
Go for a walk or hike outside and take some offerings. Introduce yourself to the trees and plants and streams and leave them a gift.
If there's one nearby, visit a local farmer's market and buy some local produce; honey, meat, vegetables, fruit, etc! Chat to the sellers and talk about their practices and produce
Do a small spell outside! Find a secluded, comfortable spot and invite the spirits to observe your spellwork - let them get used to your energy and way of working
Make a small diary of your time outside! Don't worry about filling it in regularly, just whenever you have the energy! Write down when the bees start coming out or leaves return after winter. What plants stay during the cold season?
Research local plants and come up with your own correspondences based on their ecology/medicinal use/folklore etc
Go on a walk to see what plants and animals exist in your area! Research them - are they native? Invasive? What is their ecology? Medicinal uses? Even the most urban areas tend to have some wildlife!
Join a local facebook group for birdwatching!
Research your area and figure out what plants or animals would be native, or used to live there - create artwork or something to honour and remember them
Research gardening groups nearby - some cities will have volunteer gardening projects or local groups that help maintain natural spaces! See if any would be feasible for you to join and get out there
Join a local allotment or community garden if you have the means - do some weeding, plant some tomatoes, say hello to the coal tits nesting in the old shed!
If you have the means - invest in a hardy houseplant! Name it, research its care and talk to it! Make a ritual out of watering and talking to it.
Take an online ecology course! Free courses exist and can be super interesting!
Watch youtube videos on a favourite taxa and make notes - build your own knowledge at a pace you're comfortable with on the things you're interested in!
Invite some nature spirits in for a meal - cook something you enjoy and set the table (if you can) for the spirits. Enjoy a meal with them.
Please add any suggestions you have below and I can add them! Everyone has unique energy levels and capabilities, but I hope that I've given people a quick idea of things they can do, if they want!

💫 Why Protection Magic Is Useful (even if you have no enemies)
A lot of witches will tell new witches (baby witches) that they should start by learning and using protection magic. However, I've started to see a lot of witches say that protection magic is not as important as other witches claim it to be. Saying that they don't have anyone coming after them or an enemy in real life to warrant a spell of protection.
I think this may also be due to how I've not personally come across anyone really explaining why a witch may want to use protection magic all the time.
Now, it is true that there's no need to be paranoid all the time and have protection up 24/7. But here's a list where you may use it, find it useful, or haven't thought protection magic could be included.
An actual person -- This one is obvious, you have an enemy in real life or on the internet and you need protection magic to protect you from their curses.
A malevolant spirit -- They can come from your windows, mirrors (including tv screens, computer screens, and other reflective surfaces maybe), they seep through floor cracks, hanging onto your coats from outside, etc. Just like how you'd use garden gloves to avoid dirt up your nails being trapped there. Protection magic is just like putting on those gloves.
An energy -- Say you have a neighbour who's arguing with someone. They're yelling and screaming and it can be heard through the apartment walls. That negative energy is seeping into your home and your energy. So it may be worth protecting your home and energy from that sour neighbour's energy. (ever been scolded by your mother and your mood is sour? it's kind of like the same here.)
Your own spell -- Now a self-love spell is probably not something you should protect yourself from. But let's say you're doing a curse. It would be a smart idea to make sure you're protected before beginning such a spell. Much like how you'd wear an apron to protect your clothes from stains when cooking food. You may not always spill your food when cooking, but damn it is it annoying when you do and the stain won't wash off. It's the same with a spell.
Unintentionally -- Sometimes things can happen that's out of our control and it's a good idea to be a little prepared. A black cat suddenly running across the street? Bad luck. Someone got jealous when you told them something good? Evil Eye. Think of it as going to the store with an extra bag for your groceries. You may not need it, but isn't it handy when you at one point do need it?
Protection magic doesn't have to be elaborate or grand or be convoluted. Protection magic is powerful but also extremely simple. All you need is a horseshoe above the door, a little talisman in your pocket, a sigil for your car, etc.
So don't dismiss the importance of protection magic. It may help to improve your spellwork and your energy.

a beginner’s guide to…
✨ altars ✨
here are some materials you can use for an altar, whether it is for your spellwork, a deity, or any other use! altars should reflect your personality, and be a space where you feel happy and safe :D
none of these materials are required, and everything is completely customizable to your beliefs! (just practice respect and safety obviously)
🕯️ basics 🕯️
an altar cloth is a piece of fabric that covers your altar. this could be a bandana, a small blanket, or even a piece of paper!
a glass plate is a mundane but VERY versatile altar piece. it can work as an offering dish, a tray to collect wax drippings, or just a little trinket holder
candles are an easy addition to any altar. you can use any type of candle, but my favorites are taper and prayer candles. scented candles are completely fine to use as well! choose candles based on color and scent
natural materials like crystals, flowers, plants, animal bones (responsibly sourced), etc. are an incredible addition to any altar! if you have a deity altar, learn about their associations and use this to guide your choice
paper and pen/pencil will be your best friend if you write petitions, draw sigils, etc. keep them near your altar for convenience
🌱 cleansing 🌱
many people believe an area should be “cleansed” before it is used as an altar or sacred space
methods of cleansing include incense, water cleansing, sage smudging, and more
incense cleansing is often done by wafting an incense stick or cone through a space and visualizing the smoke clearing out negative energy
sandalwood, lavender, and rosemary are common incense choices for cleansing
water cleansing is something i do a lot, it can be done by sprinkling water in an area or even washing/pouring water. regular tap water is perfectly fine, but you can also incorporate moon water, sun water, rainwater, etc.
smudging with sage involves burning a bundle of sage and, similar to incense cleansing, wafting the smoke through the area. sage smudging is traditional to indigenous tribes like the Lakota and Navajo. as a result, sage smudging (especially the use of white sage) is often considered cultural appropriation when done by non-indigenous people. i am not indigenous nor do i use sage, so i am not incredibly well versed on the subject but i thought i should include it. always do research and practice respect and sensitivity 💌
🌙 takeaways 🌙
finally, your altar is YOUR space. you can include or exclude anything you want; your space doesn’t need to be “aesthetic” or make sense to others
my first altar was a cardboard box with one candle and a handful of crystals. it wasn’t expensive or fancy, but it got me into my practice
through the years, my altar has grown and changed as i have
if you want to make an altar, start with what you have! you would be surprised how powerful your resources are 🩷

Do Spells Expire? Understanding Magical Decay and Maintenance
If you’ve been in the magical world long enough, you’ve probably experienced it:
That once-strong jar spell gathering dust on a shelf. A talisman that used to pulse with power now feeling strangely empty. A working you did last year that just… fizzled.
And you wonder: Do spells expire? Do I need to redo it? Should I throw it out? Is the magic gone?
These are valid questions — and important ones. Because spellwork is not always set-it-and-forget-it. Magic has movement, rhythm, and yes… an expiration date.
So let’s dig in.
⚡ First: What Is a Spell?
Let’s strip the fluff and be real: A spell is an intentional act of energy manipulation. It’s you working with the forces of will, emotion, spirit, and nature to create a desired effect.
You are not simply “wishing” — you’re co-creating. Think of it as pressing your will into the world with the assistance of energy currents, spiritual allies, and symbols.
But like any force in motion, a spell isn’t static. It has a cycle. It begins. It builds. It releases. It integrates. And eventually… it either settles into the fabric of reality or fizzles out.
⏳ So... Do Spells Expire?
Yes. And sometimes, they’re supposed to.
Magic isn’t permanent. Spells are energetic constructs, and energy fades, shifts, or changes form — especially without attention or intention. Some spells are designed to last a week. Others for a moon cycle. Some for years. But no spell is completely immortal (and if you think it is, you might have a spirit contract you didn’t read).
Let’s break it down.
🔮 What Determines a Spell’s Lifespan?
Every spell is unique, but a few core factors influence how long it lasts:
1. Purpose & Design
A simple candle spell for focus? Likely a short burst.
A complex ancestral warding? Could be years with proper upkeep.
A love-drawing mojo bag? May shift as your heart shifts.
2. Fuel (Intent, Emotion, Will)
Spells are powered by your energy. If you half-heartedly cast a spell while doomscrolling or emotionally detached, the fuel tank starts near empty. But cast with emotion, clarity, and full presence? It’ll hum for longer.
3. Anchors (Tools, Ingredients, Spirits)
A spell anchored into a physical object (e.g., a charged ring) may hold energy longer.
Spirit-assisted workings may require upkeep or offerings.
Organic materials break down. Oils evaporate. Strings fray. That’s all magical feedback.
4. Environment & Interference
Living in a chaotic household? Are you constantly hexing and unhexing? Do you have magical parasites, jealousy, or external interference? All of this feeds off or disrupts your work.
🧭 Types of Spells & Their Natural Decay
Understanding what kind of spell you cast gives you a timeline to work with. Here’s a general map:
🔒 Protection Spells
These act like energetic shields or barriers. Whether warding a home, veiling your energy, or blessing a car, they wear thin with time and contact. They need monthly recharging at minimum — some even weekly if you’re under spiritual attack or psychic burnout.
Common signs of decay:
More accidents or bad vibes creeping in
Nightmares, sleep paralysis, or psychic “leaks”
Intuitive sense that your house or body isn’t sealed
💸 Manifestation & Attraction Spells
These depend heavily on alignment. If your values, goals, or vibration shift after casting — the spell might backfire, misfire, or fall apart.
Example: You cast for a new job, but secretly fear success. The energy gets split and stuck. Or you cast for love, and two months later you're in a completely different emotional place.
🕯 Banishing, Hexes & Reversals
Often designed to decay after impact. If these linger too long, they can create energetic sludge or rebound. Think of them as magical antibiotics — use when needed, then clear.
🌿 Healing or Self-Work Spells
These act like energetic medicine. When you heal, the spell dissolves. If the wound is deeper, it may need layering or reapplication. But healing work always transforms — which means the spell must, too.
🔁 Signs a Spell Has Expired or Needs Maintenance
Ask yourself:
Does this spell still align with my current goals and desires?
Do I feel numb or disconnected from the working?
Are the physical components breaking down or smelling off?
Did I get results… then things stalled or reversed?
Has my intuition been nudging me to revisit or redo it?
If yes, your spell is likely decaying or has already expired.
🛠 How to Maintain & Refresh Spells
Think of spell maintenance like oiling a tool or watering a plant. You don’t have to do it constantly — but it matters. Here’s how:
🌕 1. Sync with Moon Cycles
Recharging your spells on the full moon, or resetting them on the new moon, keeps them alive and responsive.
🧹 2. Cleanse Magical Tools
Dust, stagnant energy, and old intentions can stick. Cleanse your altars, jars, and charms regularly. Smoke, sound, salt, moonlight — whatever works for you.
💧 3. Reinfuse Intention
Whisper over your charms. Feed your spell jars with herbs or oils. Redraw sigils. Add drops of your essence (breath, spit, tears, etc.). Magic thrives on attention.
🔥 4. Retire When Ready
If the spell has served its purpose — thank it, release it, and dispose of its materials respectfully. (More on this below.)
🌬 Releasing Expired Magic
Letting go is magic. If your spell has run its course, don’t cling.
Here’s a simple Releasing Ritual:
Hold the object or visual of the spell.
Speak gratitude aloud: “Thank you for the energy, for the work, for the shift. I now release you back to the elements.”
Burn, bury, dissolve, or recycle depending on what feels right.
Cleanse yourself and your space afterward.
This clears the path for new workings to enter — fresh, focused, and aligned with who you are now.
🌌 Final Thoughts: Magic, Like All Things, Has Seasons
Spells expire not because they “fail” — but because you’re evolving. The energy around you is changing. The magic is asking to be renewed, retargeted, or released.
Just as you wouldn’t wear last year’s coat in midsummer, you shouldn’t expect a two-year-old spell to fit your current life perfectly.
Check in. Refresh. Retire. Rewrite. Repeat.
That is the rhythm of real magic.
So… do your spells expire? Yes. And that’s not the end of the story. It’s the beginning of your next great working.

Advice for if your practice is feeling stressful or unfulfilling (that isn't 'just stop practicing')
Before you expand: long text post!
I think it's interesting that the first line of advice stressed and unhappy practitioners often receive is 'stop practicing! take a break,' because besides a breather this doesn't actually do anything. When a person is done with that break they're still going to have the same stressful, unfulfilling practice they did before.
Stop practicing is useful advice for someone who is about to deep-fry their brain in uncontrolled Witch Fire. It's useful advice for someone who experiences unexplainable catastrophe every time they engage in magic.
I'm not sure it's useful advice for people who want to practice and are actively seeking help figuring out how.
So here are some ideas. Feel free to add your own.
If your practice has too much of a time load:
Scrape over-engineered ritual. Examine ritual formats. Are you spending a majority of your practice time engaging in elaborate ritual? Where can that be paired down?
Swap ritual for enchantments. If ritual performs an action (laying a compass), can you substitute for that ritual action by making enchanted objects that take less time to activate (enchanted compass altar cloth)?
Minimize ingredients. If you regularly perform spells that require lengthy enchantment of ingredients, can you use fewer ingredients to achieve the same results? If you're using more than 3 correspondences for any spell, is this because you are wise in your own ways, or because you just feel that more is merrier?
Mash rituals together. Do you have a string of rituals, even small ones, that you perform one after the other? Is it possible to reorganize these so they're all done at once, in the same ritual? For example, setting out an offering to the gods, a different offering for the ancestors, another for helper spirits, etc. Can you combine these all into one single offering?
Check for over-tending. Is it possible that you're repeating magical acts, like feeding wards and cleansing, more often than you need to? Did you arrive at this schedule through trial and error, or did you just guess this is how often you should do them?
Check for your own levelup: spell maintenance. If it's been a while since you re-evaluated your ritual/offering/maintenance schedule, your increase in skills may mean you need to do these tasks less often to achieve the same result.
Check for your own levelup: techniques and routines. Some techniques, like carefully entering trance, grounding, and centering, are like training wheels that wear ruts into our paths of magic. As we improve in skill, old rituals and techniques that have been carefully couched in these helpful devices may become ingrained in us so that we can perform them in almost any state of mind, much faster and easier than we could before. Experiment with any technique you've been doing for a while and see if you still need to perform time-consuming meditative or focusing techniques before you can perform the skill.
Be reasonable with your own goals. I find most 'laywitches' give themselves daily and weekly schedules that would put actual cloistered monks to shame. Did your spirits tell you they expect daily offerings, or did you decide on that an run with it? Where are you overcompensating and overexerting in your path when nobody, including yourself, asked you to?
If your practice has too much of a work load:
Much of the advice of the prior section applies. Also,
Just work less. Are you putting in 100% effort when 20% or 30% would do? Are you treating every act of magic like a performance review that will control the outcome of your magical career? I'm not being sarcastic; an actual solution to your path being too much work is to just put in less effort. If you've never tried this you may be shocked at how effective magic can be when you're only doing what needs to be done.
Find simpler, more reasonable stuff. Find new techniques, and spell and ritual formats that are paired down to fit the amount of effort that's reasonable to exert for any given magical act. If you can't work with correspondences without a lengthy act of activation, find a way to cast simple spells that doesn't rely on correspondences.
Limit research and prep. Ask yourself how much research you reasonably need to get started on any given project. Remember that a huge amount of a witch's education is experiential; you will probably never know enough until you've already done it three or four times.
Be goal-oriented; prioritize actions. Ask yourself if you've set arbitrary workloads before you can get started with anything, such as forcing yourself to write artistic grimoire pages before you're allowed to perform a ritual you're interested in.
Learn skills to help prioritize actions. If your practice is consumed by acts of upkeep such as cleansing and empowering objects, focus on learning energy sensing so you can reasonably determine whether or not an object actually needs to be cleansed or empowered.
Administrate your own practice - what can go on the back burner? Make a list of all your active ongoing projects and maintenance, including upkeep of energy batteries, spells that require maintenance, and situations you want to change and are casting spells on. Prioritize them; see which ones you can set aside.
Restructure your projects to minimize maintenance. Consolidate spells and projects where possible. For example, if you have multiple protection spells for many people that require upkeep, condense them all onto a protection altar so you can feed and tend to them all at once.
Work in batch and bulk. See where you can do batch work to lighten your load. You can bulk enchant candles and incense, instead of enchanting incense every time you do a ritual. You can enchant oils, waters, and incense to feed your spells, taking time out of upkeep.
Levelup your charging and maintenance skills. Learn energy work to attach energy tethers to batteries and other important projects so they're able to drink from the wellspring you attach them to, and stay charged.
Scrape routines that don't serve you. Examine any daily routines. Are you doing them because they're helping you, or because you feel like you're supposed to be doing something every day? See if you can replace more intensive daily routines with something less tiring, like a prayer to your path itself.
If your practice feels too silly:
You have a right to privacy. Cocooning is valid. It's fine to take steps to limit who can see and potentially judge your practice. You can keep things to yourself until you're ready.
Tend to your emotional wellness. Self-therapy, in any form you feel comfortable with, can help mitigate the inner eye of judgement.
Reduce your beliefs to palatable doses. Believing in magic for only the duration of your work is perfectly fine. You don't have to 'believe-believe' 24/7. If you're not ready to integrate the belief of magic and spirits into your baseline worldview, don't - you can agree to buy in to those beliefs only while you practice techniques and cast spells, and then put them away the rest of the time.
Scrape stuff you really can't get past. Ask yourself what about your practice feels silly. Are there trappings - like altars, ritual movements, and speaking aloud - that you don't like? Change them. Is the idea that religious faith itself is a bit cringe? Self-therapy (or you know, the regular kind) may be assistive.
Ask for help modifying your process.Is there something very specific about a ritual or technique that you just can't get past, but you don't know how to change it? Research and see what other substitute rituals are available. Ask others and see if they can help you brainstorm.
Embrace the silliness. It's not going anywhere. Believing in your practice and holding it dear and sacred is not the same as being ✨super serious gravitas✨ all the time. There are lots of things about witchcraft, and the acts of the witch, that are silly and make you realize you're doing something ridiculous. I came out here at 2 am after it's been raining to climb down a slippery riverbed to get a branch of a tree that I think is talking to me?? Because some medieval guy said Tuesday is the planet Mars and I think trees talk to me?! Ridiculous. Yet I still love it dearly in a sacred place in my heart. It can be silly and glorious at the same time.
Cast a wider net. See if you're barking up the wrong tree. Traditional Witchcraft, folk magic, lodge magic, chaos magic, eclectic neopaganism... these things are not interchangeable. If you've never explored different traditions, why not give it a go? You might find another path that feels a lot more natural to you. A lot of people fall into a certain path just because they don't know what else they could be doing!
If your practice feels unfulfilling:
What are you doing to bring yourself fulfillment? Why did you get into witchcraft? Make a list of your top 5 reasons (if you have that many). Which techniques, spells, and rituals are you regularly performing are designed to deliver these desires to you? If one of your goals of practicing witchcraft is to 'feel connected,' how often are you performing acts where the only goal is to make you feel connected?
Grow your path deliberately in the direction of your needs. What do you wish you had in your life right now? Is it the feeling of being loved? Inner peace? Feeling like nature is alive and watching you? Look for what techniques and rituals in your practice will bring these things to you. If there are none, find or develop them.
Ask for help and share your feelings. If you work with gods and spirits, do you regularly tell them how you feel about your practice and ask them for help finding fulfillment?
Find contentment in the process. It's vital to find joy in the process. If you have regular routines or upkeep you need to do, how can you modify it so that process in and of itself is satisfying to you? Try considering the visceral element of witchcraft: the words, scents, sounds, moods, and thoughts that you want to experience in your present moment. Witchcraft is experiential: a great deal of the experience you create in the tidepools of routine is under your control.
Contemplate the larger purpose. Some witches do have magical chores and responsibilities they can't or shouldn't shirk. If this is true of you, and you can't modify those routines, try refocusing on why you're doing them and the importance they hold in your path. See if you can find balance elsewhere in your practice that feels rejuvenating; sort of a 'work-play' balance of your own craft.
Set short-term goals you can celebrate. Are you undertaking a lot of 'workout routines' that are designed to basically make you magically buff, or get good at a particular skill, but you're doing them with no endgoal? Try creating short-term goals that excite your sense of wonder or accomplishment. Like, practicing tarot until you can read the Celtic Cross, or practicing energy work until you can make a four-element layered energy shield. Build goalposts for yourself, both in the short and long-term, and celebrate your successes.
Scrape routines you're not doing for any good reason. Are your regular practices things you're doing because they fill you with mystery and wonder, or because you're just pretty sure that's the kind of thing witches do? If you're bored or unfulfilled by a particular routine, consider stopping it altogether, especially if you can't think of any short-term goals that it's helping you work towards. Think about the reasons you got into witchcraft: what practices would help you fulfill those reasons, while also feeling good to practice?
Seek out a likeminded community. A good working group of friends can be invaluable. My close group of witch friends, whom I've been hanging out with for years, started as a Tumblr post asking if anyone wanted to make a small server to study witchcraft. Reach out and see who's out there to study with, talk to, and practice with. It can be loads of fun to do short-term study and practice challenges with friends, and a great way to get feedback and support.
Evaluate your spiritual relationships. Although it can be painful and challenging, sometimes we enter into our paths working with gods and spirits that after some time, we need to move on from. Is it possible your path has become stagnant because you don't want to keep working with a god or spirit that your path has been built around? It may be time to see how you can move on.
When 'take a break' might be helpful advice to heal your practice:
Of course, YMMV :)
'Taking a break' doesn't mean stop being a witch, stop believing in magic, or stop 100% of your practice. It can also mean putting a lot of projects on the back burner, switching to bare-minimum (or below minimum) maintenance, and squashing regular routines.
I'm talking specifically about taking a break in the interest of your own practice - not the conditions under which someone is ""allowed"" to stop practicing witchcraft.
Take a break to rest and let your seeds germinate. 'Fallow periods,' when you have no desire or motivation to practice witchcraft, and when it seems like there's nothing for you to do, are normal. Some witches experience this cyclically, perhaps during certain seasons or when predictable life conditions are met. There's no need to force yourself to practice when it's just not flowing. The snow on your mountaintops needs to melt to replenish your waterways, bestie. There's nothing wrong with you, the sun just isn't out yet.
When you're hitting yourself with a hammer. When something in your practice is triggering or harming you, and stopping will have no consequences, then stopping your practice for a while is probably a good idea. Use the downtime to seek healing or reformat your practice.
To open your life up for necessary work. Not every witch can out-path every problem. Consider taking a break when the problem is something you will have time and energy to work on if not for your regular magical practice.
When you're about to deep-fry your brain with Witch Fire. Consider taking a break when the problem with your practice is that you are practicing too often - such as fatigue due to excessive spellwork, divinatory obsession, trouble staying out of the spirit world (compulsive astral travel), or focus on spirits/magic/the spirit worlds are starting to erode your home, school, or work life.
To let the ripples settle. When you've done so much magic or ritual work that your life is a boat on a stormy sea, and you just need to batten down the hatches for a while and let things settle.

burn the item and sweep the ashes out the back door or bury them
carve the name of what you want to banish into a black candle and let it burn down completely - bonus points if the candle is anointed with herbs or a binding oil
transmute negative energy into a stone (preferably a black stone like onyx) and throw it over the fence in your backyard (or whichever direction is south in reference to your home)
stir your morning coffee or tea in a counter-clockwise motion while focusing on the intent of what energies you wish to banish for the day
using incense that is associated with banishing negative energy, walk around your space in a counter-clockwise motion with the lit incense in your hand
binding and sealing

put the poppet or other representation in a plastic bag filled with water and freeze it

perform a tie-breaking spell
blessing and consecrating

use spring water to bless objects

place a cleansing crystal on top of or next to the item
hang a wind chime outside of your home to negate negative energies before they have the chance to enter your home
physically clean and freshen your space - dust, mop, open the windows and let some fresh air inside (you can view this as an "out with the old and in with the new" situation)
cursing
fill a poppet with baneful herbs and crystals, seal it, and store in a black box
add baneful herbs and crystals to a jar with a piece of paper that states the target’s name or a description of them and seal it

dreams and sleep

place the sachet under your pillow
wash your bedsheets and sleep clothes with a few drops of lavender or chamomile essential oil
alternately, choose fabric softener that is lavender scented to wash your sheets or sleep clothes with

utilize lunar or neptunian energy in dreamwork
mugwort, peppermint, or valerian root tea before bed for vivid, lucid dreams
chamomile tea before bed for restful sleep
lemon verbena (vervain) tea before bed for dreamless sleep
when bathing at night, create a sachet that matches your intent and place in the bath or shower

place a written description of your goal or wish in the center of a crystal grid using stones that are associated with manifestation and power

anoint candles with mercurial or jovian oils and/or herbs and burn on wednesdays or thursdays (ruled by mercury and jupiter)
use prosperity/luck runes or craft sigils to carve into candles
on the first of the month, you can do the following: say "rabbit rabbit" for good luck all month and let that be the first thing you say when you wake up; blow powdered cinnamon into your front door from the outside or place a cinnamon stick above your front door for prosperity
craft a crystal grid using prosperity/lucky crystals - where you place it is up to you
please be wary: - of putting essential oils directly on the skin or on items that your skin may come in contact with - of leaving crystals in prolonged sunlight (might fade) or exposed to liquid (might dissolve, might become toxic when dissolved) - of blowing cinnamon into a home or using incense that has pets, or humans with respiratory issues - ingesting/burning/touching herbs/plants/etc. that you are not familiar with (could be toxic, could affect the efficacy of your prescribed medications, could be harmful for pets or other members of your household)

I sectioned the paragraphs by each method she mentions in the video! Also a bulleted TLDR at the bottom, as well :)
Video transcript:
“Ooh, let's answer some more questions! Cleansing jars when you can't use incense, because we wanna keep the kitties safe, yes! Yes, we do sweeties! Don't harm the cats.
Now there's a lot of different types of jars. Ergo, these are just some that I use. We're gonna focus on the mason jar today. Like fire, this one's for you!
You can strike a match- let it burn down a little bit by holding it upside down. Be careful of your fingers and drop that in your jar! Let it burn for just a little bit, and what's gonna happen is you're gonna cut off that oxygen, right? And you're gonna get smoke. That smoke is gonna cleanse it.
My always trusted buddy, lemon juice! Just squeeze a little bit in there, swirl it around or rub it with a cotton ball, and then wash it off- cleansed.
Making some very basic salt water is another great way; Same thing- make your salt water, shake it up in there, dump it out, rinse it, you're good to go!
Boil distilled water, especially if you have a kettle and you're using glass that is tempered, and you can boil some hot water, pour that in there- let it get room temperature. If this is a longer method, dump it out- you're cleansed.
For things you don't want to put heat or smoke in, like metal.. energy cleansing’s. I always say use your right hand- put it in there. Visualize that you have now cleansed this jar with your own energy and it'll be clean!
Using the same burning method but with an herb such as rosemary, or lavender, or cinnamon bark.
Good old vinegar! Swish a little bit of it in your jar or rub it with a cotton ball, set the intent that uses vinegar as cleansing, and then wash it with some warm water so that nothing tastes like vinegar- good to go!
Sun or moon water if you happen to have them. If it's a big jar, put a crystal in it and leave it for a few hours.
I think those are pretty much most of the ways I know of right now that I can think of, and just be careful not to use essential oils.
One, especially if it’s gonna be drinking water, then you're gonna be drinking that when you really shouldn't be. And two, a lot of essential oils are irritants to cats, especially like peppermint, yingling, citrus, anything like that- eucalyptus, they're all irritants to them, to be around them.
And especially as much as using lemon is great, I would recommend burning lemon peel, except the scent of that is going to be an irritant to your cats as well.
I hope that helped you! Please let me know if you have any other questions. Blessed be, sweeties!”
(End of transcription)
TLDR:
- Put a match or herb(s) inside and sealing the jar (Smoke cleansing). Use herbs that are known for purifying/cleansing (Rosemary, lavender, cinnamon bark, etc!) and burn it like a match
- Squeeze some lemon juice, clean the inside with it, then rinse
- Pouring salt and water, then rinsing
- Boiling some hot water, putting that in the jar, then leaving it till it’s room temperature
- Visualizing your energy cleansing the jar itself (energy cleansing). [I like to visualize a white ball of energy kind of surrounding whatever object I have. Then boom- cleansed]
- Pour in some vinegar (swish it around, wipe, etc), set your intentions that you’re using vinegar to cleanse your jar, then rinse
- Sun/moon water [I assume to leave outside or on a windowsill for a few hours to cleanse the jar itself]
- Leaving a crystal in a jar for a few hours
- DON’T use essential oils to diffuse/cleanse bc most of them are toxic to cats, or burn lemon peels [bc it releases the lemon’s essential oils]

Simple Moon Spell - One Dozen Wishes

Intent: To create a jar of potential wishes, to be used as needed.
Materials:
Small Jar
Whole Bay Leaves (12)
Moonlight
In addition to their usefulness in spells for protection, wisdom, and healing, bay leaves are a potent ingredient for wishmaking. This spell does not specifically create a wishing spell, but it prepares a small supply of leaves for future spellwork, using the fulfilling energy of the full moon to pre-charge the component.
Obtain a bag of whole bay leaves. These can usually be found in the spices and seasonings aisle at the grocery store, or you can order them from a botanical supplier if you wish. Prepare a clean, dry jar with a lid as you see fit. Select twelve leaves, as whole and unbroken as possible, and place them into the jar. Cap the jar and leave it to soak up the moonlight on the next full moon evening.
When you have need of some wishmaking magic, take a single leaf from the jar, write your wish upon it, and use it in your spell. The use of the leaf depends on your casting method - you can include it in a jar or sachet charm, cast it into fire or water, or bury it to help your desired results grow, to name just a few.
Use the leaves as needed and when the supply is exhausted, you can pick twelve new leaves and refill the jar.
Happy Witching! 🔮🍃
