witches ladder

a witches ladder is a knot magick spell. you can make it into a bracelet, put it on your wall, give it to a loved one, etc.

you say/think each phrase while tying a new knot.

you will need:

a piece of string/rope

focus

intention

this spell is pretty flexible and can be used for many things. all you need to do is think about/visualize your goal while tying the knots. you can also write down your intention. make sure to protect yourself before and during the spell.

i would like to note that there are multiple versions of this spell, this is the one that resonates with me.

spell:

by knot of one, the spells begun

by knot of two, the magick comes true

by knot of three, so shall it be

by knot of four, the power is stored

by knot of five, my will shall drive

by knot of six, the spell i fix

by knot of seven, the future i leaven

by knot of eight, by knot of eight, it will be fate

by knot of nine, whats done is mine

Please don’t tell I’m the only one that actually wonders how the hell Snufkin got his hat back at the end of episode 3 of Moominvalley (that should have been a whole episode itself) 😂😭
