witchy tips for witches with depression <3

I've been struggling with depression for some time now and I've been having a lot of issues practicing my craft since the lack of energy and motivation, so I decided to compile a list of simple routine things you can try to add to your daily life to get you back on the craft and maybe make you feel better :]

theres no instant cure to depression but there are ways to make it a little less bad, and little by little get you back on your feet !! these may not work for everyone as I am writing down things that work for me and just simple ways I use to incorporate the craft into my daily life. please please please also seek prefessional help if you're able to !! talk to friends and family, you're loved and cared for !! google depression self help tips for more tips, I know most of them may sound dumb or trivial or useless but it is so worth a shot adhering to them for some time, maybe you will notice an increase in your mood :D

1. veiling

when I go out, I wear a scarf on my head to protect my energy or keep me in a good mood, depending on the days activity. you can wear a scarf around the house or go out with it and putting one on also works for a bad hair day (read: haven't washed hair in a week) ;D

just cleanse the scarf by maybe shaking the unwanted energies out of it or with incense or with whatever you see the best and bless the scarf with your intentions for the day :D

2. cleansing

if you have a hard time taking care of your hygiene ( it's okay I promise, it can be very exhausting :/ ), try getting some baby wipes on your bedside table and when you wake up / before you go to bed, wipe your face, armpits, feet etc. with the wipe and with the intention of cleansing. it's quick and very easy and I promise that it's worth it, you'll feel a lot more fresh afterwards. you can do the same with washing in general ! if you take a shower imagine the bad thoughts and depressive energy go down the drain in a black/gray/brown stream of dark water !! you'll feel a lot more fresh and maybe a bit clear-headed even :)

3. tea magick

while getting your cup of tea / coffee, stir your days intentions into the drink or do this:

stir clockwise thrice to bring positivity, stir counterclockwise to let out negative energy in your next three sighs and then seal the spell to let the sadness repel.

I recommend black tea or white tea or chamomile tea and add some honey / sugar to sweeten the deal !!

4. shadow work

I know that one of the last things you might want to do is dwelve deep into your feelings but it really will be useful in the long run. if you feel yourself getting upset or your mood suddenly dropping, try getting to the bottom of it; what triggered the emotional reaction? take a deep breath, relax into your feelings as they are in that moment and be honest with yourself. observe them without judgment and try to find out where they came from and how to solve the conflict.

here's some prompts and questions you can try asking yourself:

how did you feel ( more accurately than just upset; were you angry, jealous, sad, lonely etc.) ?

is there something you can do right now to solve it ?

how could you handle this situation in a healthy way? eg. try to come up with healthy coping mechanisms.

how can you maybe prevent this in the future?

try the court trial thought challenging technique. if these thoughts or this situation was a court case, which side would win? imagine yourself as the defense attorney. you need to gather 100% foolproof evidence you have siding with the negative thought and then defend it against the undermining counterpart. it's kind of a pros and cons type of list but you adopt the viewpoint of an outside viewer to get a clearer and more realistic view of the situation. this thought process can help you realize that some negative thoughts aren't truthful and help you let them go. you can Google "the court trial cbt" for more on this technique :D !!

5. studying the craft

we're all individuals and we react differently to bad states of mind but what I do often is distract myself by being on my phone and I know ( I hope so, at least ) I'm not alone in this. as a witch, you're always developing and learning new things, was it about learning different kinds of ways to practice your craft or getting to know other practices or maybe reading a guide how to grow your own herbs ! point is, if you're gonna distract yourself, you could try reading ebooks or articles or even tumblr posts about things that interest you !

maybe try making a list of subjects, topics and practices that interest you and set a goal for yourself to read at least about 3 subjects on the list per day !!

6. making pinterest boards / planning

this isnt directly magick but I think it does count as practicing your craft. make mood boards for the next full moon, come up with spells, make pinterest boards about cool things that interest you or maybe start planning for the next sabbath ! just have fun with it, maybe colour coordinate your pin boards or arrange them by season !

7. go out for walks

it is so so so important to try to adhere to some routines. a big part of managing depression is taking care that you get enough sleep, eat enough and do fulfilling, nice and healthy things. go outside and try to look for rocks or crystals from the nature ? or try foraging ! or maybe go for a walk during sunset/sunrise and admire the beautiful sky and clouds ! ANY reason to peep your nose out of the house is a good reason. maybe go meditate to the nearest park ? or try yoga !!

8. interests and passions and things you loved to do

I know that it might be hard to find joy in the things that you used to like doing but you should try to do at least one thing that you used to love doing for 10 minutes every day ! incorporate a little witchcraft into it too if you want to !

draw or paint a sigil and maybe colour it

sing your favourite song with intent that matches the lyrics

try freestyling with any instrument you play and let your intuition guide you with the chords and notes that come out ! you can try also making small melodies that correspond to different intents and use them for cleasing or happiness or protection !!

bake or cook something you've always wanted to try ! look up the ingredients' correspondences and cook with desired intents !

please know that you're not alone !! my dms are always open if you want tips or just someone to talk to, too :) you don't need to do all of these but maybe try taking some inspo and adjust it to your life and surroundings and daily life and come up with ways of your own, it's your craft after all !!

Empaths

An Empath is a person who has the ability to feel and share other people’s feelings and pains. Empaths are very sensitive to their surroundings, what they eat, and who they are around.  Naturally, Empaths are kind, good-hearted, spiritually attuned, and excellent listeners.

Are you an Empath?

Public places, like malls or busy grocery shops, can be overwhelming

Seeing violence, cruelty, bullying is unbearable.

You know when someone is lying to you

You pick up physical symptoms off of other people such as colds, body aches, headaches, pains, etc.

You have digestive disorders or lower back pains.

You are always looking out for the underdog. Anyone whose suffering, in emotional pain or being bullied draws your attention.

Others will always want to unload problems on you, even strangers.

You are a good listener.

You are constantly tired and drained of energy.

You are drawn to healing, holistic therapies, and all things metaphysical. 

You have a creative streak and a vivid imagination.

Animals and children take a natural liking to you.

You are fairly quiet especially in crowds.

If you answered yes to all or most of these you are definitely an empath.

Allow yourself to have lots of quiet time without electronics. Curl up with a book and put on soothing music instead.

Take time out of your day to sit in nature

Pet a dog, cat, horse, rabbit, etc.

Meditate

If crowds are overwhelming, eat a high-protein meal beforehand (this grounds you) and sit in the far corner, not dead center.

Ground yourself

Cleanse your space, aura, and chakras of negative energy

Practise breathing exercises

Carry or wear protective crystals

Develop a energy shield for your body

Witch Tips for Better Casting:

Within the last three years, I haven’t had a spell fail. This post is to help you understand how you can have a higher success rate. 

1: The big three:

When casting a spell of any kind or size, you must ALWAYS have all three of the following: a) Intention- Your intentions must be crystal fucking clear and have enough integrity so that they cannot be broken if you get distracted/interrupted during the casting. This cannot be done overnight. It takes practice and meditation for at least a few years to get to a point where your intentions are pure and powerful even in an extremely robust environment. 

b) Passion- You have to put your fucking soul into every spell, no matter how small. Casting a spell is a lot like having sex. It will be a little awkward, disheartening, and/or disappointing if you don’t put your soul into it. You are connecting to the forces that govern this reality and asking for a favor. You’d better have the decency to inhabit your truest self for that.

c) Presence- Great, so you have your subconscious mind and your soul in the game, but where is your intelligent mind? You can’t let your mind wander either. This is probably the hardest of the three to accomplish every single time because shit happens. Maintaining complete focus takes a lot of spoons, and you have to set a part of your life aside to do so. 

2: Location, location, location!

Being a city witch can be tough, you don’t have the wide open spaces as a rural witch. Yet, it is important that you can find a place that is somewhat quiet, has been sanctified, and most importantly: has a connection to the forces that you’re dealing with. We are witches. No, we don’t have to be secretive about our crafts as much these days, but we still need our privacy for the actual casting.  Here are some recommendations: Rooftops, empty subway cars, the shower (If noise is limited enough), off the trail at a nature conservation area, in a public park when there aren’t many people about and the noise is minimal, and abandoned buildings (Please be careful if you do this, they may have structural issues, and you’ll be breaking the law, so  be sneaky and smart about it)

But, overall, all you need is a place where your thoughts do not flee from you. A place where your mind can hone in on the task at hand and you can connect to the universe in the manner you need to. 

3: Spell design:

Be sure to put a lot of thought into your spells. Sometimes, there might be a better spell for the desired results. I’ll give some examples:

a) Trying to pass an exam? Instead of casting a spell to help you pass, it might be better to cast a spell to help you study and retain information. Then, take it a step further, and apply an essential oil to your wrist while you study, then apply the same oil again just before the exam. Compound the spell using other types of magic. Draw a sigil for memory on your body, glamour yourself so that you can take the test in peace without distractions, ect. 

b) Trying to cast a love spell, but it never really seems to work? How about casting a spell on yourself to increase confidence? then cast a glamour to draw attention to you. Draw sigils on your body that help with articulation and speaking clearly, or sigils that assist in decreasing anxiety and over-thinking. Then go talk to them. Be yourself. Be confident. Be the badass witch that you are.

Most of the time spells that target the caster are far more successful than those that do not. If it doesn’t target the caster, it will take a lot of spoons to cast it. Casting a spell that would affect a situation that is already pretty likely takes a hell of a lot fewer spoons than a spell that affects an unlikely situation. You must work WITH nature, not against it. 

Aphrodite Glamour Water 💋

This glamour spell is one of the few that I use, and I can say that it’s worked for me quite well. Be careful, though. You may attract unwanted attention.

SUPPLIES NEEDED:

a jar

water

rose petals (optional)

vanilla essential oil (optional)

red or pink candle (optional)

STEPS:

💋 Pour the water inside the jar you wish to use.

💋 Put in your ingredients that you chose to use. As you put them in, visualize how you want people to look at you. If you want to be confident, visualize yourself being confident. If you want romantic or sexual attention, visualize yourself getting that. Whatever you want, just visualize yourself attracting it.

At this point, if you wish to use a candle, now is the time to pour your intentions into it & light it. If not, that’s fine. You can also call upon deities who correspond to love at this moment.

💋Stir the liquid clockwise so that it’s moving towards you. As you do so, continue to visualize your desired outcome.

💋 After that, it’s all done. You can leave it out by the window and allow the moon the charge it up. If you chose to light a candle, let it burn down.

WAYS TO USE IT:

♡ Dab some on your face before you leave the house in the morning. ♡ Put some on your face before you put any makeup or skin products on. ♡ You can use it in love spells by replacing the water with an oil of your choosing and anointing a pink or red candle with it, preforming the spell the same way. ♡ If you wear makeup, pour a little bit in a little cap of some sort and dab your makeup brushes in it to dampen the brush before you apply any eyeshadow or powder of any kind. ♡ If you want a specific person’s attention, you can dab some on a picture of them or drop a little bit where you know they will walk. ♡ Use it as an offering for deities corresponding to love, depending on your intention.
