Quick witch tip: washing your hands with chamomile attracts money! Let it steep in boiling water for several minutes, let it cool to room temperature, and then wash your hands in the water. This is especially effective before gambling. If you are struggling with finding the herb itself, a tea packet would do. It'll bring you good luck in general, so use it when you need it before leaving the house!

Spirit Work Foundations - Warding Basics

Warding is one of the most important skills that one can learn when starting spirit work, if not the most important. There are spirits all around us, no matter where we are, and not all of them have our best intentions at heart. Most will leave humans alone who aren't aware of them, but when the door cracks open, it becomes a possibility for them to see you as a target.

It can seem difficult at first, but there are many different and easy ways to build wards that will last a long time. Once you get into a good rhythm, it's easy to make it part of your regular routine. They can be as simple as asking a deity you worship to help protect you, or as complicated as an involved crystal grid for which the research and building of can take months.

One of the most important things to remember is that you should never settle for just one ward. There are many different kinds of energy, and many different forms of attack. Having only one layer of protections leaves you vulnerable. There is almost always going to be someone stronger than you, more powerful, more involved. If they can pop your single protection, or find a loophole in it, you're completely exposed.

The hardest part of setting wards is writing out your intentions, and anchoring them in an external energy source. Some of your wards can build on your own energy, but you don't want all, or even most, of your protections to rely solely on you. If your energy drops for any reason, your wards will be compromised, and if they're wiped out at once, it will leave you exhausted and completely unable to defend yourself. However, having them rooted in your own energy can also protect them from being manipulated if the outside energy is affected. Having the wards that rely solely on your energy closest to your skin and personal body can be a great way to balance the pros and cons of this.

There are a lot of things to consider when setting wards:

How does it work? How does it protect you?

Is it purely defensive or offensive?

If it attacks back when threatened, what mechanism does it attack by?

Is it sentient?

Are there energetic constructs attached to it

How is it set?

How is it cleansed or charged?

What does it protect you from? How do you define "harm?" Is a malicious blessing the same thing as a curse?

What energetic (or physical) layers is it active on?

How is it shaped? Does it surround you in a sphere, or just on the ground layer?

What do you allow inside your wards?

Where are the loopholes in your wording so far, and how do you close them?

It might sound overwhelming, but keep in mind that not every ward you place needs to do everything.

Specific intentions are stronger than general ones, and can keep you from being locked out of forming friendly connections.

Ward setting can be a lot like the story of Goldilocks. Too strong, and nothing can come in or out and you can't sense anything outside of the wards. Too weak, and you're vulnerable. Figuring out this balance can take trial and error.

There are many ways you can set wards:

Ask a deity, spiritual companion, or spiritual guide to add some wards. You can ask them to add as many as you'd like, provided you trust them enough. Don't rely solely on them, but they can be an important layer

Create energetic constructs as guards, or ask your deities or companions to give you guards that walk around your territory

Connect them to sigils and hide the sigils all over your house or wear them on your person

Charge jewelry or witch bags with your intentions. There is an instruction for an easy DIY warded bracelet at the end of this post, and Death Witch Envy has a wonderful blog post on this topic here.

Charge gemstones and/or statues and place these at regular points around your home or person in a crystal grid

Weave protections using bones, herbs, what have you into a macramé tapestry

Anchor protections into plants you've placed on your property

Create energetic bubbles around yourself

Do monthly spell rituals to refresh, at times during specific phases of the moon/astrological times, and so on. You can include candles, oils, sigils, etc. Having a specific way to carve and dress your candles with oil for these rituals can help amplify your intention

Use cultural symbols from your path to call protections upon yourself

These are just some suggestions, but really the sky is the limit.

Using sigils in gifs or images, or even charging a VPN is a way you can use wards to protect your technology as well!

If you're new to warding, I encourage you to try at little bit of everything, and see what works best.

While you're getting set up, learning, and experimenting with wards, there's no shame in relying heavily on your deities and companions to help you with your basic protections. While I don't recommend this as a long term strategy, we all have to start somewhere, and it can help your peace of mind to know that someone has your back as you build on your own abilities.

Start small, and build from there. If you don't get it right the first time, keep trying!

Learn. Build. Grow.

It's how we all begin.

If you're overwhelmed and don't even know how to start, I've included instructions for a basic warded bracelet below. The gemstones listed are not an exhaustive list, but rather stones that are both associated in some way with different kinds of protection, and also easy to get. Feel free to use whatever other materials you're called to.

Happy Warding!

—————————————————————————

Instructions on a DIY warded bracelet:

Get some elastic. Elastic will break eventually but until then it's strong and easy to get. Clear elastic will work fine, but there's also the colored sort that is made of many different strands. That kind will fray before it snaps, so you'll have a warning. Either will work, as it's not the elastic itself that's important.

Make sure you make it a few inches longer than it takes for you to tie it around your wrist before you trim it. Make sure you have glue.

Get some beads of the following sorts (I recommend 4mm so you can string more on):

- rainbow moonstone

- black tourmaline

- Amethyst

- Smoky Quartz

- Clear quartz

- Tigers eye (tiger iron also works)

- obsidian

- And another stone you feel called to that will represent you. Can be anything.

This is not a definitive list. If you want to make it most of one but not another, or want to add more kinds of gemstones, then do so. Whatever you feel called to.

String them on the elastic until its a comfortable length. Tie it off and glue the knot before trimming the ends.

Cleanse by lighting a candle and trailing the bracelet above it enough that the fire doesn't touch it.

Pull the bracelet close to you, holding in both hands. Concentrate on the fire of the candle, and keep your intention for the bracelet (in this case, protecting you physically and mentally from spiritual entities and magic) at the forefront of your mind. Feel the energy of the candle, and envision it surrounding the bracelet and charging it with your intentions. Keep in mind that specific intentions are more likely to be stronger.

If this is all too complicated to keep in your mind at one time, you can write down a list of what you want the bracelet to do, and how. You can include the names of deities or companions you want to help strengthen it. When it's written down, put it under the candle before you burn it. You can also use flash or wish paper, which is made to be burned, and then waft the bracelet through the smoke.

(Note: paper is usually full of chemicals, and so is ink. Be mindful of what materials you use when you intend to burn a piece of spellwork. Make sure that you are in a well ventilated area, and do not set off any fire alarms, or choke on the smoke. Do not leave an open flame unattended. Have a glass or bucket of water nearby in case things get out of control).

When you feel you are done, blow out the candle. Put the bracelet on. Leave it on as much as possible, unless cleansing or recharging it.

How do I connect with local spirits?

Most witches consider local spirits to be a cornerstone of their practice. It's much easier to cast a ward on your home when the local forest spirit will back it up. Ask five witches how to connect to spirits and you'll get seven answers and three arguments.

So I'm going to give you a foolproof answer.

If you live in the united states, your state will have a list of endangered and threatened species. It will also have a list of invasive species. Look through these. There's a pretty good chance that you'll be surprised and find something you've seen before. "I didn't know that was endangered! I've seen that in my grandma's backyard."

Great! You are now that species guardian angel.

Figure out how to protect it. Find out how to spread it. Then do it. It spreads from cuttings? Awesome! Take some cuttings and sprout them, then plant them somewhere.

You don't have anywhere to plant them? That's okay. Get a high-vis vest, pull over onto the side of the highway in a nice spot, plant them, and leave. No one questions the high-vis vest. Someone does? "I'm a volenteer at an endangered species reintroduction program." It's not even a lie, it's just a program of one. Hell, that program may actually exist and you may actually be able to volenteer for it.

"But how does this help me connect with local spirits?" You are actively protecting your local ecosystems that your local spirits are a reflection of. They will appreciate that far more than any other offering you can give.

Protective witchcraft

Witchcraft can be a powerful tool for protection, but it is important to approach it with respect and caution. Here are some tips for using witchcraft to protect yourself:

Set intentions: Before you begin any ritual or spell, it is important to set clear intentions for what you want to achieve. Visualize yourself surrounded by a protective energy that keeps you safe and secure.

Use protective symbols: There are many symbols that are commonly used for protection in witchcraft, such as the pentacle, the evil eye, and the hamsa. You can wear these symbols as jewelry or draw them on talismans to carry with you.

Use herbs & crystals: There are many herbs and crystals that are believed to have protective properties in witchcraft. Some popular options include black pepper, rosemary, black tourmaline, and amethyst. You can use these herbs and crystals in spells or carry them with you in a sachet or pouch.

Create a protective charm: You can create a protective charm by combining herbs, crystals, and other materials in a small pouch or container. This charm can be carried with you or placed in your home to provide ongoing protection.

Use visualization: Visualization is a powerful tool in witchcraft. Visualize a protective bubble of energy surrounding you, or imagine yourself surrounded by a circle of protective light.

Call on deities or spirits: If you work with deities or spirits in your witchcraft practice, you can call on them for protection. Some popular options include Hecate, Artemis, and Archangel Michael.

Cast a protection spell: You can cast a spell to protect yourself from harm. This can involve creating a protective circle, calling on the elements, and using candles, herbs, and other tools to set your intention and create a protective energy.

Create a protective sigil: A sigil is a symbol that is created to represent a specific intention or desire. You can create a sigil for protection by writing out your intention and then using the letters to create a unique symbol. This symbol can then be charged with energy and used for protection.

Use divination: Divination can be a helpful tool for identifying potential sources of harm or danger. You can use tarot cards, runes, or other divination tools to gain insight into potential threats and take steps to protect yourself.

Practice grounding & centering: Grounding and centering can help you stay grounded and focused, even in stressful or dangerous situations. This involves connecting with the earth and your own inner strength to create a sense of stability and protection.

Remember that protection is not a one-time event, but an ongoing practice. Incorporate these tips into your daily witchcraft practice to create a strong and lasting protective energy around yourself.

WITCHY USES FOR BAKING SODA

Baking soda is one of the most amazing kitchen products around. It’s inexpensive, natural, and safe to use on almost anything. However, did you ever realize that baking soda could be handy for Pagan rituals? Not only can it be used to clean the house and make hygienic products, but Pagans can also use it for rituals and numerous other things. Here are a few Pagan related things that baking soda can be used for:

Banishing and Protection Spells: Just like black salt, baking soda has banishing qualities. Sprinkle it along doorways to keep away negative energy, make it into a paste and wipe down the walls with it to keep away evil spirits (and clean your walls at the same time!), or keep some at your altar when performing a banishment or protection spell.

Ritual Fire Safety: If you are performing a ritual that involves fire, always keep a few boxes of baking soda on hand. If the fire gets a little out of hand, pour the baking soda onto the flame.

Cleansing Ritual Bath: This one is my favorite. I love my ritual bath! When performing a ritual bath, add baking soda, oats, and essential oils to your bath water. The mixture helps to cleanse and remove negativity, as well as make your skin healthier.

Annoying Guests: Ever have unfriendly or annoying guests that overstay their welcome? Sprinkle a little bit of baking soda into their laundry or onto the bottoms of their shoes. This will help encourage them to leave.

Heavy Feelings in the Air: Does it feel like the air is heavy around you? Like there is some bad energy or something unwelcoming just lurking around? Mix about ½ teaspoon of baking soda with scented water (rosemary, lavender, etc.) and place it inside of a spray bottle. Spray the area down with the mixture to ward off whatever is bothering you.

Baking Rituals: This one is probably the most obvious, especially if you’re a Kitchen Witch. Many baked good recipes call for baking soda. If you feel like your family is a little under the weather, experiencing negative energy, or just anything negative, bake something with baking soda and serve it to your family. This can include: breads, cookies, muffins, and anything else that you enjoy baking.

Cleansing Altar Tools: Okay, this one might not be a popular idea. But if you have run out of sea salt, or are just low on it, use baking soda to cleanse your altar tools instead. You can even mix half salt/half baking soda when you begin to run low on salt. Just make sure that it is safe to use baking soda on whatever item you are trying to cleanse.

Drawing Sigils: My Way

Dedicated to the anon who asked, thank you~ <3

 My sigils are basically just a variant of the Witch’s Sigil Wheel. I’ve just added my own flare to it. If you don’t know what that is, it’s this thing, you kind find pictures of it on google pretty easy.

The first thing you’re gonna want to do is come up with your phrase. This will set the sigils intention. We’re gonna use the phrase “The Earth keeps me safe” for this example. Once you’ve got that figured out, pick out the words that are most important to you. We’re going to use “Earth” and “Safe” as our keywords.

(note: traditionally letters that are doubled are taken out, and only single appearing letters make the points.)

Next thing you’re gonna do, is draw lines from one letter to the next. You’ll be making separate lines for each word. Feel free to curve some of these lines, but i think it looks like a mountain or a crystal so we’re gonna keep it c:

And then the next word.

This is really starting to look like a crystal in my eyes! Now it’s time to add some flare. One thing I like to do is add circles around letters that have multiple points on them. And I add crossing lines to any other line that doesn’t have an angle or connection.

To really long lines, I like to add another line parallel to it.

The last part, make it personal! Add some sort of your own flare to it.

I played around with the crystal idea that I was getting, and added things to make it look sparkling and an arrow in the middle to represent protection. 

Lastly I like to keep my sigils in circles, but feel free to skip this step and call it done! Here’s what I came up with!

If you make one, please reblog with a picture! I’d love to see ^u^ Hopefully this helps.

Tips for Manifesting pt. 1✨

Some tips I’ve learned along my path.

✨Make a vision board on Pinterest with things you want!

✨Be grateful! There are so many things we can be grateful for, so write it down or say it in your head/out loud

✨I prefer not using specific time like “…by Tuesday” etc. Use “in divine/perfect timing” instead. The Universe is always working to get you want you desire, so trust that everything will come at the right time when you are truly ready for it!

✨Scripting is very powerful and fun way to manifest! Don’t forget to write in present tense (I am, I have…). Do not use I want, I need etc.

✨Connect with the moon and do new moon rituals! New moon is the best for new beginnings and setting intentions.

✨When asking for money, use the phrase “money comes to me by happy means” or something similar. You need to be specific, because otherwise you could receive money through some bad accident or something unpleasant.
