Warding

I've covered warding recently in my protection post. But here I will go into more detail on what warding is, the most popular ways to ward and how to create them as well as when to know when a ward is no longer useful or has been broken. I will also go into baneful warding and what it is.

What is warding?

Warding is a form of defensive magick which acts as your first line of defense against negativity. Be this baneful magick from another practitioner or negative entities and general negative energy. There are multiple ways to ward with each practitioner warding differently to the other. Wards come in all shapes and forms, and there is no limit as to how much warding you should do, you protect yourself as you see fit.

What is baneful warding?

Baneful warding is a form of warding in which the negative that hits a ward gets sent back to its source. Baneful warding is seen as a more "advanced" form of magick, however not too advanced for a novice to do with the appropriate amount of research. Baneful warding can come in the same forms as normal warding would.

Warding jars

Perhaps one of the most common wardings on this post, warding jats usually contain ingredients charged with the intention of warding. These ingredients usually range from herbs to bodily fluids such as saliva or blood. These jars are either buried on the practitioners property, left above entryway, left on an altar, or are carried with the practitioner when they want protection on the go.

A warding jar might contain: ashes of a warding sigil, bodily fluids, herbs and plants, crystals, bones, warding or protection oils, spices, metals, glass shards etc. These jars are then sealed with black or white wax (or are sealed in any other way, with glue, tape or simply just with intention).

When a warding jar is broken, you might find the contents of the jar to become moldy, the jar shatters, the seal might break or the contents of the jar to go off, you also might feel that the jar no longer has its power. When this happens, if the jar is intact, break the seal and empty the contents into the bin/trash or return them back to the earth. You can then cleanse the jar with your preferred method of cleansing and reuse the jar for another ward or spell.

Talismans and symbols

Talismans are objects which are charged with the intention fo protection or warding. A well known example would be the Nazar, known to ward off the evil eye.

Symbols are used to represent something or represent an intention example would be the pentacle/pentagram, a well known protection symbol. Another example could by the Eye of Horus, a symbol used by the Ancient Egyptians for protection, health and restoration.

You can create your own talismans and symbols to aid in warding. These might be used to ward against a specific thing, or can be used as a general ward to all negativity.

A talisman or symbol might break or feel like they're no longer useful once theyve done thier job. If this time comes, you can simply dispose of the old one and create a new one.

Sigils

Sigils are created and can be programmed with any purpose necessary. May this be warding ot cursing, they can be used for almost any working.

Sigils can be burnt to activate them, with the ashes being used in spells to add extra power. Sigils can be put up around your house or around your room for warding. These sigils can look like anything, simply draw them with the intention of warding.

Crystals

Crystals can be placed above entryways or in windows to act as a ward. Crystals can also be added to spells to give a desired effect or worn as jewellery to act as warding or protection on the go.

Some examples are: black obsidian, black tourmaline, clear quartz, amethyst, hematite.

When a crystal ward has been broken, the crystal might shatter, or go missing. Or you may feel the crystals energy feels different than usual. With crystals you cam simply cleanse and recharge the crystals to be used again!

Spells

Warding spells can be as simple as a dressed candle, or can be a complex ritual. Warding spells differ from practitioner to practitioner. Similar to warding jars, these spells might include the use of herbs, bodily fluids, crystals, plants etc. The methods of creating a warding spell vary, as there is no one way to create one.

When a ward breaks down, you might feel the ward break, or if it does what is intended, you might feel something bounce off the ward. Depending on the negativity sent your way, the ways in which you might feel a warding spell break down vary, this could range from feeling sluggish or nauseous to downright feeling psychic attack. (Whenever this happens, please consult a doctor, mundane before magical. What you may feel is a magical occurrence could be explained by illness, so please consult a doctor of you feel this way constantly)

Warding is a great form of protection which is used very often in a persons practice. While not all practitioners use warding, this is just to inform you of the ways you can ward to keep yourself safe in your practice!

I'm awake for no reason so I wrote a poem.

Roses are red

I'm kinda gay

I really don't wanna do this shit another day.

Magickal Bong Rips

I decided to make my toking into more of a ritual. I find if I’m bored or depressed when I smoke, the pot just amplifies it - and same for positive emotions like creativity & relaxation. To get more into the habit of smoking mindfully and with purpose, I’ve created a little magickal bong ritual.  Need:  Bong Ground, dried cannabis  Intent  Crystal that matches intent  1L purified water bottle 500mL Jar  Candle (optional) Incense (optional) Clean your space. Actually clean it. Get your shit done and your room clean so you can receive clear energy and not have to worry about cleaning later! Cleanse your space & body with your preferred method (I use palo santo).  Sit down and think about the reason you want to smoke. Do you need physical healing? Do you want to connect with an element or deity? Unleash your creativity? Create intent out of reason. If it’s “I’m bored” or “I’m anxious”, I usually think twice.   Set up your altar and space, and ready anything you’ll need after smoking.  Are you doing a ritual? Art? Tarot? Magickal study? Set it up.  (I find it makes me anxious when I’m high and can’t find my tools.) Find a crystal that matches your intent. My intent was to enhance self-love and self-care, so I chose Rose Quartz. Make sure it is a crystal that won’t degrade in water, like Selenite. (Edit: Also do your research!! Some crystals aren’t meant to be ingested - like Malachite! Look up “indirect method” for gem elixir brewing for more info!)  Run the crystal under cold water to clean any dirt and negative energies. Ground yourself and sit with your crystal. Cleanse it with your preferred method. Hold it in your hands and feel it’s vibration or energy beats, if you can. Visualize a pulsing, white light coming from the crystal centre, growing and slowly enveloping your entire body. Focus on receiving pure crystal energy. Focus again on the crystal and now imagine your intent piercing and filling the crystal. Sit with it until ready, and put it in the empty jar. Cover with spring water. Hold the jar of spring water and crystal and once more, focus your intention. Drink the remaining water to stay hydrated!   Leave it on the windowsill in the sunlight for 20 minutes up to as long as a whole day. I usually let it sit a couple hours and do other work in the meantime.  I like to burn an incense that matches my intent, like Frankincense - purity, healing, spiritual connection. This is your interaction with Air.  I also like to burn a candle for a Fire connection. I imagine my intent dancing in its flame and motivating me.  Clean your piece! Name your piece. Connect with it. Feel it. Get to know it. Charge your pieces by running them under cold water and focusing on positive intent & good, healing energies. Use coarse salt and vinegar to clean any gunk, second shake with just salt and water, concentrating on purification. And finally,  run clear, cool water through it a while, appreciating the Water element and its healing powers.  Let your glass friend dry, and grab your weed. Look at the nug. This is your Earth connection. What does it smell like? Look like? What does the name remind you of? What do you hope to get from it? Get to know what you are putting in your body, and how it will benefit you.  Set the nug on, next to, or in a small container with a clear quartz crystal. Leave it near the charging water on the window sill to cleanse any impurities or negatives, until you’re ready to smoke. 

When you feel they are charged, grab the water and pot and return to your magickal space. Sit and ground yourself, connecting with the earth. Focus on your intent. Mindfully assemble your bong. Before toking, pause. Breathe.  Bring the flame to the bowl and focus on the Fire energy igniting the Earth’s cannabis, connecting with Water and manifesting your intent with Air. Make every part of it a mindful experience - the flick of the lighter, the sizzle of the embered pot, the bubbling of the crystal-infused water, and the feeling of the magickal smoke filling your lungs with your intent, and sending it out into the world. After your exhale, pause, and focus on this feeling.  Remember to breathe, be still, and notice.  You are now magickally high.

Crafting Magic: Exploring the Basics of Spell Structure

Introduction: Spells are an integral part of witchcraft and occult practices, allowing us to harness our intentions, work with energy, and manifest our desires. Understanding the basic structure of a spell is essential for creating effective and meaningful magical rituals. In this blog post, we will dive into the foundations of spell structure, guiding you through the key elements necessary to craft your own spells and enhance your magical practice.

Intent and Clarity: The first step in spellcraft is determining your intent. Clearly define what you wish to achieve or manifest through your spell. Be specific and concise, as a well-defined intention helps focus your energy and align your actions. Take the time to contemplate your desires and ensure they resonate with your values and highest good. When your intent is clear, the rest of the spell structure falls into place more easily.

Gathering Supplies: Once you have set your intention, gather the supplies and tools you will need for your spell. These can include candles, herbs, crystals, sigils, ritual objects, or anything else that aligns with your intention. Choose items that symbolize or enhance the energy you wish to work with. Cleansing and consecrating your tools before use can amplify their magical properties and establish a sacred connection.

Creating Sacred Space: Before casting a spell, it is important to create a sacred space that fosters focus, clarity, and energetic alignment. This can be done through various methods, such as smudging with herbs, casting a protective circle, or simply visualizing a bubble of sacred energy around you. Establishing sacred space helps to separate mundane reality from magical practice and invites higher vibrations into your ritual.

Setting the Mood: Setting the mood is crucial for creating the right atmosphere and raising the energy necessary for spellcasting. Consider lighting candles, playing soft music, or using incense to enhance the ambiance. Choose scents, colors, and sounds that align with the intention of your spell. Allow yourself to enter a state of heightened awareness and receptivity, preparing yourself to work with the energies at hand.

Energy Activation: Activating and directing energy is a core aspect of spellwork. This can be done through various methods, such as visualization, chanting, or movement. Visualize the energy flowing within and around you, building in intensity as you focus your intention. Channel this energy through your body, your tools, or into the designated ritual space. Use your chosen method to raise and direct the energy toward your desired outcome.

Ritual Action: Ritual action serves as the bridge between the mundane and the magical. It is the physical manifestation of your intention and energy. This can take the form of lighting a candle, crafting a sigil, reciting incantations, or performing symbolic gestures. Let your intuition guide you in selecting the actions that feel most aligned with your intent. As you engage in these actions, infuse them with purpose and intention, visualizing your desires coming to fruition.

Expressing Gratitude and Closing: Gratitude is an integral part of spellcraft. Express gratitude to the universe, deities, spirits, or whatever higher power you resonate with, acknowledging their assistance and support. Thank them for the manifestation of your intention, even if it has not yet physically manifested. Close your spell by releasing the energy and dismissing the sacred space you created, returning to the mundane realm with a sense of completion and closure.

Conclusion: By understanding the basic structure of a spell, you gain the tools to craft effective and meaningful rituals. Remember to always work with integrity, aligning your intentions with your highest good and the greater good of all. As you explore and refine your spellcasting skills, allow your intuition to guide you, and adapt the structure to

suit your personal style. Embrace the magic within you, and watch as your intentions manifest in the world around you.

When doing substitutions for spell elements remember that intent and intuition are most important. Use a substitute that feels right in the moment. If your intuition seems wary, trust yourself. ✨💖
