Umbra Witchcraft FAQ

Background:

When I started on my path I didn’t have a name for it. Asking around, researching, and I couldn’t find a name for my ability to feel and work with shadows and their energy. A friend suggested I forge my own path and thus I started referring to my path as Umbra Witchcraft.

What is Umbra Witchcraft?

Umbra witchcraft utilizes the energy of the shadows to fuel spells, wards, curses, etc.

Practicing with the energy of the shadows also has a side effect of drawing what lives in those shadows to you. So be prepared to see dark orbs darting out of the corner of your eye or seeing shadow people.

Is it dangerous?

All magic is dangerous in one form or another. But keep in mind not everything that lives in the shadows is friendly so warding before reaching for umbra energy is a must.

Umbra energy vs The Umbra

Umbra energy comes from the shadows but The Umbra is a shadowy realm created, originally, by the Goddess Nyx as a safe haven for her children. It eventually expanded and become a safe haven for all of the dark deities and creatures of myth and legend.

Do I have to worship Nyx to practice Umbra witchcraft?

No you don’t. You can if you want and you might draw her attention when you first start out but you do not have to worship her or any other deity if you do not want to.

Is it ok to call myself an Umbra witch?

Yes of course its ok! I might be the first to consider myself an Umbra witch but that does not mean I own the name. In fact I would hope others refer to themselves as Umbra witches so we can find each other and share our experiences.

Hello! You might be attuned to the magic of solar magic, a vibrant and dynamic practice that harnesses the energy of the sun to fuel spells, rituals, and spiritual growth. The sun, with its warm embrace and life-giving energy, has long been revered as a symbol of power, vitality, and enlightenment. Incorporating solar magic into your practice can illuminate your path to self-discovery, empowerment, and manifestation.

Phases of the Sun 🌅🌞🌇

Just like the moon, the sun has different phases that can be used to amplify your magical workings:

Sunrise: A time of new beginnings, renewal, and fresh starts. Perfect for setting intentions and starting new projects.

High Noon: The peak of the sun’s power. Use this time for spells related to health, physical energy, and wisdom.

Sunset: A moment of transition and release. Ideal for banishing negativity, stress, and confusion.

Magical Properties of the Sun 🌞🔮

The sun’s energy is incredibly versatile and can be used for various magical intents, including:

Success and Ambition: Channel the sun’s power to achieve your goals and dreams.

Empowerment: Boost your confidence and personal strength.

Health and Vitality: Enhance your physical and mental well-being.

Creativity and Fulfillment: Ignite your creative spark and find joy in your passions.

Creating a Sun Altar 🌞🕯️

Setting up a sun altar can help you connect with solar energy. Here are some ideas for your altar:

Sun Symbols: Incorporate sun-shaped items, such as sunflowers, sun charms, and golden decorations.

Colors: Use yellow, orange, and gold to represent the sun’s vibrant energy.

Herbs and Crystals: Include sun-linked herbs like rosemary, chamomile, and sunstone crystals.

Making Sun Water 🌞💧

Sun water is a powerful tool in solar magic. To make it, simply place a glass jar or bowl of water in the sunlight to charge. You can use sun water in spells, to cleanse tools, or add it to your bath for a refreshing boost of solar energy.

Sun Plants 🌻🌿

Grow and use plants ruled by the sun in your magical practice. Some sun plants include:

Sunflowers: Symbolize positivity and strength.

Rosemary: Enhances memory and protection.

Chamomile: Promotes relaxation and healing.

Sunbathing for Energy 🌞🧘‍♀️

One of the simplest ways to absorb the sun’s energy is through sunbathing. Spend time in the sunlight to recharge your physical and mental health. Remember to wear sunscreen and stay hydrated!

Solar Spells and Rituals 🌞🔮

Here are a few ideas for solar spells and rituals:

Sunrise Meditation: Greet the day with a meditation session at sunrise. Focus on your intentions and visualize the sun’s energy filling you with positivity.

Solar Candle Magic: Light a yellow or gold candle during your spellwork to invoke the sun’s power.

Sun Charm: Create a sun charm using sun symbols and carry it with you for protection and empowerment.

Remember, solar magic is about embracing your inner light and shining brightly in the world. Trust in the power of the sun to guide you on your journey of self-discovery and empowerment. 🌞✨

You’re all seen. You’re all loved. The Gods understand when things get tough.

The Psyche Sigils

Inspired deeply by another post that I will reblog as soon as I can find it again, I wish to share this ritual which has helped me, and a way of thinking that has helped me in my day-to-day occult existence. I wrote a post on the spiritual vitamins but let's also put this down:

Rather than focusing on a specific intent, define what you most need in the present.

If you are feeling as though your boundaries aren't strong enough, or that you need more assertion, workings within the boundary of Mars or Saturn would be good. If you're dealing with grief, working with the moon's influence would be of aid, or working or incorporating the element of water into rituals. I adapt my daily practice as needed to include the invocation of certain elements or planets depending on the circumstances that are evident in mind, body and soul. If I'm feeling sluggish, a little bit of fire or solar energy is of good work. If I'm too in my emotions, adding air energy to either help me bring rationality into the mix or earth energy to bring me back to earth would work better than a ritual. So, in a basic and most undeniably inevitable sense, let your craft supplement your life, not your life your craft.

Now we move onto the second bit, the Psyche Sigils. This was a mixture of shadow work and sigil magic to access particular parts of me that I had neglected. The basic premise is to go through emotions that you need to process or examine such as:

Anger

Pain

Feelings of Loneliness

Feelings of Injustice towards the self

Feelings of Lack or Low Self-Esteem

And so on, in this sigil, it becomes your link to these aspects of yourself. Let yourself enter into a meditative state, contemplating the emotion while you go about it. Then, when they are complete, sit and meditate with them. Use them as access points towards those particular emotions, summon them forward. Let them take form, don't try to manipulate the form because the symbolism that the mind chooses is always an interesting experience. When the Personification of the Emotion comes forward, sit with them for a while. Ask them questions such as:

What is your source of manifestation?

In which way do you manifest in my life currently?

How can I acknowledge and reconcile you in my life?

And so on. Now, it might seem counter-intuitive to invite negative emotions and speak with them in such a matter but it is even more counter-intuitive to try and demonize and shut them down. They are you, you are them, you are human and you are the experiencer and beholder of these emotions. This rite seems to work by way of bringing conscious awareness to things that the magus has shut away in hopes of being a better person or to meet some gain. By acknowledging and making way to heal the emotion, it becomes a much more potent experience because you approach it in a more conducive way, understanding your emotions rather than trying to see them as an external force. From then, this rite can be done consecutively, and one can follow the advice given by the personifications of these emotions on how to remedy them or how to work with them in a way that is more conducive to your existence. I hope this helps. The first step to any issue is to acknowledge the issue, find its source and work to remedy it in both long-term and short-term instances... the old acronym, VITRIOL...

Types of Spells

When I talk about spell types, I'm not referring to different spells, as in a protection spell versus an anti-anxiety spell. I'm going to go over the different types of:

Spell Jars Most of what's on this list are going to be self-explanatory, but these types of spells are typically in a glass jar and have ingredients like herbs, flowers, incense, essential oils, and liquids, and are sealed using wax. Spell jars do not actually have to be in glass jars, you can use old medication bottles, empty seasoning bottles, gum containers. These types of spells are meant to last years, decades if needed.

Spell Candles These are typically used for a quicker and more prolonged spell. The bigger the candle the longer it's going to take to burn all the way down. If you want to use something like a tea-light, take the candle and the wick out and place the herbs on the bottom, making sure to burn the candle all the way. You do not need to burn the entire candle all at once to get the effect you desire. Remember, this is a *personal* practice.

Sachets These are fabric pouches, with herbs and typically stuffed with cotton so one may sleep with the satchet. I highly recommend researching your cultures history(ies) with sachets as they all differ and diverge from one another. (It's quite fascinating to see the synchronicities.)

Scroll Spells I mentioned these in a previous post of mine and I've been wanting to discuss these as I don't see many of any one else talk about them. I got the inspiration from Naruto, although if you wanted to you could take inspiration from other pieces of media, from the scrolls used when summoning animals and types of ninja tools. You take a piece of paper, I prefer to use construction paper (use that colour magick!), and write a small ask of what you need and/or what you want, along with a sigil or as many sigils you want! Wrap use the paper and tie a string around it, seal it in wax if you prefer, and Boom you're done! I like to add a small piece of a broken off crystal inside of the drying wax for a bit of extra pizzaz!

A Witch's Box or a Witch's Jar These spells are not-quite all encompassing, these are historically ambiguous as these types of spells are so old, we as humans don't remember what they were once used for. They were typically thought of as a second-body of sorts, as they are tag-locked using urine or hair of that who made it, and spirits and evil-entities would get confused as to where that person's body is, and go after the jar or box.

Charmed Objects These spells are used to charm objects, these can range from your jewelry and make them in something that can protect you, your shoes - to help you go on more adventures, a salt lamp to ward off negative entities, or ornaments/nicknacks around the home to do various tasks. I like to create salt dough, it has protective properties from the salt and creates various shapes - moons, stars, marshmallows - and charming these objects for the associations of these objects.

Petitions These are letters you write or type and print, and set up for manifestations. Sealing the letters in wax definitely help give the vibe of an elder witch practicing.
