My Pocket Altar To Amphitrite

“Those who would harm me suffer their own ill intentions turned back on themselves.”

This one actually required a lil bit of guts to post because while this works for me, I’m just starting to branch out of the research phase of witchcraft and starting to do my own practice, but I’m still petrified of doing things “wrong.” That disclaimer aside, I’m gonna explain what I’ve been working on and experimenting with.

So I’ve been making spell jars with candles on top lately. The idea here is that the spell jar is harnessing the energy of its contents when the candle is burning. That’s my intention for it anyway, and it seems to be working quite well.

This particular one I made today for the purpose of cleansing residual energy after I’ve helped a spirit cross over. I’ve had some issues with spirits in my apartment lately so that’s the reason for this.

It contains: 💧Stream Water (for cleansing) 💧Swamp Water (for banishing) 🌱Juniper leaves + berries (for cleansing and protection against malignant forces) 🍃 Violet Leaves (protection against evil)

(Also I’m totally aware that the ingredients list in my grimoire includes sage. I just forgot to add the sage before I sealed it lol).

I tried it out and it works pretty well. After I helped this one spirit cross over, I left it burning where she was standing for a few minutes and the residual energy was lessened but not gone. I’d imagine I’d need to let it burn for longer.

Anyway this was a little insight into my current practice. Maybe it could serve as an idea for someone else, or maybe I’m about to get roasted. I don’t really know.

Either way, thanks for reading ☺️

“Set my *ss on Fire!”  Productivity and Anti-Procrastination Spell (with Ginger)

Three orange candles

Yellow string

Fresh Ginger 

I’m the worst procrastinator under the sun, so a productivity spell for me has to be powerful - hence the ginger :) lemon oil just won’t do the trick…

1) Use orange candles for energy and determination. String them together with a yellow string, envisioning your success and concentration. Additionally I like to write what I want on a piece of paper and tie it to the candles.

2) Make three knots, saying the words: My Wish, My Power, My Future. 

3) Cut open your fresh ginger and run it over the top of the candles, thus rubbing in its essence. I say “Set my ass on fire!” to every candle (have I mentioned that I need my ass kicked… if you’re only a mild procrastinator, you might find a nicer phrase…).

4) Light the candles. Let the candles burn while you do your work. 

5) Cut a few pieces off the ginger and pour boiling water over it to make ginger tea (if you don’t have any allergies). It’s refreshing and energizing. You can stir in honey, which represents industry and success, if you want to sweeten the tea (of course, stir clockwise).

6) Get off your ass and do it! :)

Thought I would take this time to share some original content with everyone!

Last week my grandfather passed away, and I felt the need to create some magic for my family to carry with them while we process this difficult loss.

I created charm bags centered around healing from grief and loss with different options for herbs and colors for the bags along with their correspondences.

Before I placed everything in the bag, I cleansed everything in the smoke of frankincense & myrh.

Things you can do on the first of the month - along with or instead of blowing cinnamon through your door

An extremely popular practice right now is to blow cinnamon through your door on the first of the month. It’s popular for good reason, as doing this can bring in prosperity for the new month.

However if you cant partake in this practice due to pets, allergies or any other reason - or simply would like to change/add more to your first of the month ritual, I’d like to offer some ideas!

First let’s talk about the significance of the first of the month and blowing an herb into the home. The first day of a month is a starting point. You can set the tone for how the rest of the month will unfold energetically. One is the number of beginnings and potential! Do not worry if you miss it or simply don’t feel up to it on the first you can of course still do the same practices any day of the month.

The act of blowing the cinnamon into your home is to symbolize that energy flowing into your household. This can be achieved through different means and different herbs all based on preference.

Want to change it up? - Alternative actions:

Cinnamon in your coffee

Put or refresh prosperous herbs & crystals in your wallet

Herbs & crystals in the mail box

Burning bay leaves

Prosperity front door wash (don’t forget the doorknobs!)

Cinnamon sticks in / on the mailbox

Burning a green or yellow candle

A small luck or prosperity ritual/working

Drinking mint tea

Sweeping! (Clear out that old stagnant energy!)

Prosperity herb scented hand / body soap

Make / feed / refresh money bowl

Blowing cinnamon in a house would be activating it using the air element - try a different element (burning, burying or putting in water)

Can’t use cinnamon? - Some other plants for prosperity:

Mint

Allspice

Bay leaves

Black tea

Catnip

Cilantro

Clover

Ginger

Moonwort

Oats

Oregano

Parsley

Peppermint

I hope this takes some pressure off and gives you new ideas!

Smoke cleanse for dreamwork: Mugwort Marigold Jasmine

Mini insence holder for the broke witch:

Take a used tealight candle and fill it with salt, sprinkle in some herbs for intent if you are puting on an altar or using in a spell. You cant use a whole stick, but you can break off the end and save the rest for later. Perfect for altars and almost no cost )○(
