call me a necromancer bc i just raised a meme from the dead
When I was a witch I thought “doing spells” was the height of all magic. After I left witchcraft I found myself doing spells less and less until I just… stopped. But this didn’t mean my life was without magic. The form my active magic took just changed.
I do magic with talismans now. Others may call them “altars in a box.” I call them talismans ^-^
Once a talisman is built, it works forever as long as it is properly charged. In the photograph is the charging of my personal prosperity talisman.
Talismans are a low-spoon magical solution. The creation, use, and upkeep of a talisman requires no personal energy beyond putting a few objects in a container. You do not need to charge talismans with your personal energy.
A talisman is, in my definition, a magical trinket which can manipulate energies in your favor. In this article I am talking about container talismans.
Container talismans are built like puzzles. Each object added holds a special meaning and will affect the energies of the talisman in a special way. In my example money talisman, I have added:
Lodestone, to draw money, prosperity, and wealth.
Lodestone oil, to draw money, prosperity, and wealth.
Coins, to represent what I desire.
Gold pebbles, to represent what I desire.
A jar of iolite crystals with a $1000 store price tag, to represent great wealth (dressed with lodestone oil).
A bottle of pure gold flakes, to represent great wealth.
A charm bag of basil, to get the spirit ally Basil to work on my behalf for profit.
A sigil to save money, for obvious reasons!
A small jar of marijuana, a gesture of sacrifice to give back to the spirit world, and to represent what I desire.
My last dollar until payday, a gesture of sacrifice to give back to the spirit world, and to represent what I desire.
This talisman brings me a lot of spending money and I am rarely ever out (except now, which is why I am recharging and donating my last dollar!).
On the other hand, talismans are a practical low-fund solution because one can literally be made out of paper slips stuffed in to a jar. No need to get fancy!
Try building different container talismans for prosperity, relationships, wishes, and protection.
Try adding dried herbs and stones of traditional correspondences.
Add representation of spirit allies who will help.
Include poems, images, sigils, or references of your goals and dreams.
Talismans can be simple or complex. Make them to your tastes and the preferences of the spirits you work with.
To build your own talisman, select an appropriate container and cleanse it using your favorite method. Cleanse objects and state their purpose as you add them to the container. “This dried rose represents eternal love within my heart.” “This quartz chip is to empower the other elements of the talisman.” And so on :)
When your talisman is assembled, charge it by placing candles on or near it and lighting them with intent to draw down power. Or, place it in the Sun and Moonlight for 24 hours, asking Nature to rise from below and complete the trinity of empowerment. In the picture, I placed a candle in the middle of the talisman jar. I dressed the candle with lodestone oil for extra power.
Place talismans on an altar or safe space where it will not be disturbed. Allow it to work for you; I see results within an hour typically but I have many allies so don’t be bothered if things don’t work for you so quickly! Give up to 4 weeks to see real changes; up to 2 weeks to see signs of change. Speak to it regularly. Give things time to manifest. Charge regularly or as needed (I charge mine once every… 2 years on average).
If you want to include spirits to help you in your talisman, try this method of obtaining a spirit friend from a crystal (modify from the ‘protection’ theme to your own talisman purposes) or this method for making a contract with a spirit.
Sprinkle ground cinnamon and cloves into some honey—rosemary honey, if at all possible.
Add a few drops of pure vanilla extract.
Inhale the fragrance and let the dish sit beside you for a minimum of an hour while you’re studying.
Just before the exam, slide a sprig of rosemary through the scented honey and rub it against the back of your neck.

Stormcraft: A Guide to Wind Magic and Weather Work
Stormcraft is the magical practice of harnessing the power of wind, storms and weather to be used in your own personal craft. Storm Witches are witches who have devoted themselves to the art of weather work and storm manipulation.
//Tools of the Trade//
Fallen or Broken Branches
Stones or Crystals
Ashes
Storm Water and Rain Water
Hail and Snow
Storm Mud
//Storm Water//
Good for Curses and Protection.
Associated with Chaos, Struggle, Passionate Emotions, Weathering a Storm and Power.
//Whistling the Wind//
A traditional practice in many aboriginal and indigenous cultures (one particular Native American story comes to mind that says that if you whistle while hunting for a bear’s den it is considered very bad luck, as you will attract the wind and give away your position. Yikes!)
A low pitch whistle summons a light breeze.
A high pitch whistle summons a large gust of wind.
//Methods of Storm Casting and Summoning//
Burning Pansy, Heather and Saffron (Rain-Bringing and Wind-Calling Herbs)
Stirring water clockwise in either a ceramic bowl or a hold in the ground and whistling.
Sending a large burst of energy into a cumulus cloud.
//Storm Catching//
One can catch and bind a storm using a bottle or jar charm or a rope or knot spell to put away for later use.
//Preventing a Storm//
“Blow it away” using whistling and weather maps for visualization.
//Good herbs for Storm Witches//
Saffron: To Call the Wind
Heather: To Bring the Rain
Pansy: To Make Rain
//Good Stones for Storm Witches//
Pietersite (Tempest Stone)
Hemimorphite
Azurite
Malachite
Nebula Stone
Lapis Lazuli
//To Make a Storm’ Witches Bath//
You can use this as a storm summoning spell, too, by stirring the bath water and whistling.
Sea Salt
Heather
Saffrom
Pansy
Rosemary
//Nephelomancy: Cloud Colors// • White: good fortune • Golden: prosperity and abundance • Silver: blessings and riches • Red: warning • Orange: vibrancy, lively • Brown: cloudy future, caution • Green: fruitful, beginnings • Blue: travel, movement • Black: self-realization, difficult times ahead
Also called Aeromancy or Nephelomancy, I’ve searched and searched for a good post on cloud scrying and came up with nothing so I did some research and came up with my own! Here goes :3
Types of clouds// (Highest to lowest altitude) //name/appearance/weather//
•Cirrus (wispy ‘mares tails’) Fair •Cirrostratus (thin sheets)12-24 to precip •Cirrocumulus (rippled ‘scales’) Fair •Nimbostratus (thick rain cover) Storms •Altostratus (‘boring’) steady precip soon •Altocumulus (vertical streaks) precip •Stratocumulus (puffy) Dry •Stratus (hazy) Mist/Fog •Cumulonimbus (thunderheads) Storms •Cumulus (puffy) Fair
//The cumulus and stratocumulus are the easiest clouds for scrying because they often form shapes. Here are the basic shapes and their meanings, but remember that scrying is up to the interpretation of the viewer 🙂
•horse- movement, travel •lion- protection, courage •rabbit- love •bird- rising above obstacles •dragon- imagination, creativity •unicorn- transcendence •tree- growth, change •flower- beauty, peace •Woman- power, guidance, love •Man- Diligence •Cross- convergence •Heart- introspection
//Energy in the Forces of Nature//

You type in the amount of words you want to write and as you write, your mini lil avatar fights a monster. Each word you write acts a hit towards your monster, and once you’ve hit your word count the monster is defeated!!!
How cute!!!!
Work quick though as how long you spent not writing decreases your avatar’s health. It’s a productive fight to the death against the clock!
You can PAUSE it!!!! Need go get a cup of tea? Need to sneeze? You can!!!!!
Settings are adjustable! You can change the monster’s speed and the attacks!
You can change the theme and font!
You can level up!!!!! The number of words you write equals your EXP. You can unlock one avatar thus far, but I believe there may be more in the future!
You can minimise the fight above if it serves as a distraction, and only show the decreasing green bar.
Best of all: If you don’t hit the target word count in time, YOUR WORK DOES NOT DISAPPEAR. In the past I’ve lost so much work because I wasn’t typing fast enough, or sneezed.I cannot express enough how thankful I am that it presents a challenge where the consequence is a knock of pride and not a fit of rage.
Honestly, I urge all writers out there to give this app a go. It’s my new favourite thing.
Meditating during long car journeys helps clear your mind, pass the time and totally counts as practicing.
If you like plants, collect plants. If you like crystals, collect crystals. Collect things that makes your soul sing!
Charity shops are brilliant. You can always find something you need in there.
Salt, salt, salt. I love it and you should at least consider having it in your witchy cabinet as it is brilliant for protection.
You don’t need all the tools the books say you need unless you feel they’ll help.
Stock up on as many black candles as you can during the Halloween season or wait until they’re on the discount aisle.
Love is a powerful tool, don’t abuse it. The love you have for someone or something can help make any spell stronger.
Wicca is the religion, Witchcraft is the practice. You don’t have to be Wiccan to practice Witchcraft, You don’t have to practice Witchcraft if you’re Wiccan.
If you’re having difficulty with magic and witchcraft, Labradorite can help significantly.
Be careful around incense and smoke if your an asthmatic witch! Goodness knows how many time my lungs have almost quit on me during cleansing. You don’t have to use it.
Stir a bit of cinnamon into your morning tea to help bring good fortune throughout the day.
Respect all living things, including plants and insects.
If you’re having trouble visualising your magic and will, try taking inspiration from fantasy media, such as Skyrim or Harry Potter, and visualise the magic from those.
If you relate a song to a spell or ritual, put it on and sing along to it!
A small rose quartz under your pillow will help ease nightmares.
Sometimes a digital grimoire is better and easier to write than a physical one.
If your life is getting difficult to manage, take a break from witchcraft if it helps.
Craft stores are a great place for mini bottles and jars.
You don’t need to be part of a coven to be a valid witch.
Anyone of any gender can be a witch.
Don’t rely solely on a healing spell or potion to help with an illness, visit your doctor too.
Share your knowledge to people who are willing to learn.

What does intuition help you with?
Knowing you’re on the right path
Helping you find your joy
Speaking with spirits and entities
Discerning divination techniques like Tarot, pendulums, etc.
Learning about your past lives
Providing other people with intuitive/psychic readings
Energy healing and sensing energy
Seeing auras, developing your “third eye’s senses”
How can you develop better intuition?
Listen better: Your intuition thrives on listening, especially when it comes to hearing your own thoughts, feelings, and needs. If you practice listening with full attention to others, you’ll develop the skill to listen to yourself (and consequently this sixth sense) even better. In your next conversation, be fully attentive and empathetic in your communication.
Don’t run from your feelings: Escaping difficult feelings is one of the most habitual things we learn when it comes to feeling pain. We develop countless ways to avoid fully feeling, from addiction to just thinking about solutions to solve the pain before we let ourselves feel the emotion in the first place. When all emotions arise, try to stay with them and journey towards them, instead of running away. Deep with all feeling is the core of your intuition, so running away from these emotions pushes you farther from this amazing sense.
Take the leap of faith and trust your intuition, even when it seems risky: This one might be the hardest thing to do on this list, to blindly trust a sense you don’t feel you have much experience with. But, when you give it a chance to be right, you’ll be amazed at just how accurate it is! Trust in your experiences helps you build a confidence that fuels your intuition even more.
Listen to the answers you receive, even if they aren’t what you want to hear: Our intuitions may sometimes seem like our worst enemy, because they point out when we’re doing something bad for ourselves, when we’re acting out, or when we’re otherwise not following our best path. Start to listen to the answers your intuition gives you, even if you want the answer to be different. Although your mind may try to convince you otherwise, your intuition knows best and you’ll be the happiest if you follow it, even if it seems difficult in the moment.
Once a day close your eyes and sense the energy in the room around you: This exercise is a more conscious way to practice testing your intuition. There’s no right or wrong answer, so there’s zero risk, and you can practice it as often as you like. What does the room you’re in feel like right now? Without labeling temperature and other physical senses, try to get a picture of how pleasant (or unpleasant) the space you are in is. This sense is just like when you walk into a room after an argument and you can feel the angry energy left. Try this little exercise in different places and develop a feeling for each, notice subtle differences in each location.
The other 10 are right here at this links, so that this post isn’t too long!
And, if you’re interested in an intuitive reading (spirit, energy, or past life), all of the ones I offer are at this link here.
