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.
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.

Must have books for witches
(Read at your own risk, I recommend researching the authors before buying or downloading if you don’t want to support their work. Take the information in this book with a grain of salt and double check with another source you trust)
Hello, last time I posted about a book a lot of people liked it so I decided to bring 2 more… Both are one of my favorite books and I find myself checking them all the time. The info in both is very useful for those who are just starting out, I know it’s often overwhelming you don’t know where to start when you want to cast a spell but the correspondence book I think solves that problem as it gives you a table of correspondences for each intention, crystal, some basic plants, deities etc….
As for the second book, Encyclopedia of Herbs, I have used it since I started practicing many years ago. We always find the same herbs in tumblr posts (basil, rosemary, sage….) but many times we don’t have access to those types of herbs so this book was very useful for me to work and familiarize myself with the plants that I could find in my region

depression and mental illnesses can be hard to deal with, i hope that what i've shared can help!
1. if you don't have enough energy to get out of bed, research witchcraft and write it down! it doesn't have to be on paper, your notes work just as well. :)
2. charge your drink! put your water (or whatever your drinking) under the sun or moon light. you can also leave certain crystals or draw a sigil on the glass/cap.
3. light candles/incense. cleanse your room of any negative energies.
4. probably on literally any 'ways to fight depression' but open your curtains! open the windows and let the breeze take away the negative energy.
5. connect with nature and go for a walk! it could just be in your backyard but please be grateful of how pretty nature is. :D
6. (my personal favorite) open your door, listen to loud angry music (optional), and yell "GET OUT > :<". maybe light some candles, sweep or vacuum the floor while keeping in mind what you want to banish.
7. keep crystals on your nightstand/under your pillow. (amethyst works well for good sleep!)
8. if you have access to herbs and a little bag/container, keep some rosemary in your pocket! it helps with good health, purification, cleansing, and preventing nightmares :)
9. use knot magic while tying your shoes, a bow, or headbands!
10. if your feeling a little bit better today, make a sigil, do a simple protection spell, or meditate.
11. put a protection sigil on your door to ward off evil and bad energies!
12. for a simple manifestation, write an affirmation on a bay leaf and burn it.
13. if you remember your dreams, start a dream journal! even if you only recall the slightest details, its still good to write it down.
14. if your up to it, connect yourself with the elements every day. [some examples: walk barefoot: earth, take a bath/shower: water, light a candle: fire, singing: air]
again, i hope these will help you through your days! sometimes i feel down too and struggle with even getting out of bed. though i don't know you i hope you get through your struggles! please make sure to take time to yourself, drink water, eat some ramen, maybe even sleep a little earlier than usual. have a good day :)
