Witchy Ways To Help With Depression!

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.

Get the Fuck Out Room Spray

a (maybe a little silly, but effective godsdamnit) warding spray for getting bullshit the fuck out of your space. particularly effective for use after having unwanted visitors.

Materials:

an empty spray bottle

blessed/charged water of your choosing (i recommend storm water or waning moon water)

herbs of your choosing - anything associated with banishing, warding off negativity, and cleansing - black salt, burdock, eucalyptus, etc, I also used lemongrass bc it's spread around the home "to ward off snakes" which i thought was appropriate

Instructions:

put all that shit in a jar

shake that shit up

like aggressively shake it, we are not talking about friendly vibes here peeps

yell obscenities at the bullshit as you spray your space, preferably with the windows open. spray from the inside out. shake your fist at the bullshit as it leaves. no I am not kidding.

Subtle Witchcraft Tips

(coming from a closeted witch of 3-4 years)

stitch sigils or runes into your clothing - use a thread that’s the same colour of the fabric for extra subtlety

use bandanas to veil

display certain items as if they’re just decorative - all of my crystals are on a shelf and when my family asks i just tell them i like crystals! they’ve now assumed i’m a geology nerd lol

look into tea magick! tea is such a powerful tool for witchcraft and simply stirring your tea with intention can be a form of magick

if you wear makeup, paint sigils on your face with your foundation or concealer before blending

similarly if you wear nail polish, paint sigils on your nails

use perfumes or body products with certain scents that correlate to certain meanings e.g my shower gel and body oil are both lavender scented

create a shoebox altar - this makes it small and easy to hide

household herbs and spices can easily be used in spells!!

remember that a pendulum doesn’t have to be a fancy crystal on a chain, any small weight on a string can work just as well

any basic candle can be used in spells

research the correspondences of wearing rings on certain fingers

i love doing kitchen magick!! it’s so easy to incorporate into everyday life without blatantly being a form of magick

house plants can be great in magick

i know i briefly mentioned sigils before but don’t underestimate how powerful sigils can be!!

create small spell jars that you could easily hide

and remember: your craft is uniquely your own. don’t let anyone tell you what is and isn’t required to be a valid witch. i’ve had to be subtle about my practice for years and it’s taken a while for me to realise that i’m just as much of a witch as someone who openly practices.

blessed be <3

love yourself because you are worthy of love ❤

Witch tip:

Name your witchy tools and give them pronouns. It creates a deeper bond with you and that tool.

I was always told once you name something you give it life.

Witch tip:

It's fine if you can't remember things.

It's fine if you need to write notes or check back into books for info.

I know there is this idea in the witch community that you need to remember everything but that's not possible.

Books and notes are there to help us.

They are there for looking back on and there should be no shame in looking back on them or needing to do check ups.

Books and notes are there for a reason!
