I Finally Finished Reading All The Books I Had To For My College Session! I Also Found A Signed Copy

easy witchy tips i have learnt through my craft

writing a protective sigil inside your door to avoid bad energies to enter your room

making sigils by yourself works better because you pour your intention into it and can be a great way to manifest

white candles can replace any candle when doing candle magick

clear quartz can replace any crystal

when drinking your daily coffee/tea, stir clockwise to manifest something and anti-clockwise to let go of something. repeat your affirmations as you stir

salt baths absorb bad energies so having a salt bath once in a while helps with having your energies balanced

write an affirmation in a bay leaf and burn it to manifest it

always keep iron on you for protection

work with the moon phases and transits to make your spells more powerful

keep a sigil in your phone case for protection/manifestation

after giving an offering to a deity, return it to the earth

drink mugwort tea for lucid dreaming/astral projection (don’t drink it if you are pregnant!!)

before you put a crystal under water or in the sun, research about it

keep a dream journal. it helps for lucid dreaming.

put an amethyst under your pillow to sleep better and to recall your dreams

charge your tarot/oracle cards by putting a crystal on top of them while you are not usinf them

mix moon or sun water with your cosmetics for a quick beauty spell

try to do an activity to connect yourself with each element everyday. (ex: a bath for water, walking barefoot for earth, lighting a candle for fire, singing for air)

make an habit of meditating everyday

I can’t believe it’s done! I finally finished my session, one more to go and I can move on from college! In my literature program we had our final project to write three short stories that we would put in a collective book and I can finally have it in my hands.

Next step, my next book creation will be entirely done by me!

Witch Study Tips

• Draw sigils on your homework! If you can`t draw them with a pencil, then do it using a white pencil or an eraser, so they won`t be visible

• Add magic herbs to your lunch. For example: basil for luck and happiness, rosemary for wisdom, etc.

• Not just a study tip, but a general one: you don`t need expensive crystals for your intention. Normal rocks work very good too! I like to use black ones for protection

• Cast a simple protection or luck spell. It can be as easy as just lighting a candle of your choise

• Productivity spells! Here`s some

• Herbal teas, there`re a lot of recipes. Remeber to be careful with herbs if you take medications, natural doesn`t mean safe

• Cleanse yourself after school

Also remember to drink water, and that your grades don`t define you!
