Baby Witch Tips and Tricks

🔮 The Moon goes ‘Wax on, Wan off’

🔮 White Candles, Clear Quartz, Rosemary and Roses can be a substitute for anything

🔮 Do research on your Deities and Divine beings so you don’t accidentally offend them

🔮 Before you start doing spells and rituals, make sure you got bath magick, tea magick, and sigils down pat

🔮 Clockwise is for positive things, such as summonings, and Counter-clockwise is for negative things, such as banishings

🔮 If your ritual/spell/potion goes wrong, Don’t Panic. Finish it and make sure to Cleanse and Bless the area strongly afterward. If you are still in doubt or if the problem consists, consult an older or more experienced witch

🔮 Never doubt your own power, you are more powerful than you realize, so be careful!

Let’s Talk Poppets & Spell Dolls!👩🏻‍🤝‍👩🏽

hollywood has massively misrepresented poppets and spell dolls as a form of evil/baneful magick (the Voodoo Doll), however, this is often far from the truth about poppet magick!

the use of poppets and spell dolls is a sympathetic form of magick which ties a magick focus or object with a soul, to an inanimate object. people use rag dolls, ceramics, photos, paper cut outs, and even animals as poppets for humans.

however i use ceramic figures! usually when i make a poppet it is used to protect or nurture a loved figure in my life. i place crystals near the poppet depending on what the person represented by the doll needs, carry the poppet in my company for lonelier friends, or i may even do spellwork involving the doll for bigger issues.

to bind a poppet to a person, use hair, belongings (scraps of clothing belonging to your subject can be stuffed inside of stitched dolls, as can topical herbs), or even just the initials or birthdate of the person will do. i paint these details on the back of the poppet.

remember if you use a poppet to do any sort of magick on a friend, it is best to ask the friend first! otherwise using a poppet may end up being controlling or an unwanted magickal intervention.

heres how i make my ceramic dolls:

I use a cheap air-drying clay called “DAS”. You can use as much or little as you like, just be aware the the bigger you make your poppet, the longer it will take to dry.

Roll your clay roughly into a potato shaped ball, and working quickly (air-drying clay dries and becomes difficult to work with fast!) snip along the dotted lines pictured above! when you pull the sniped sectors away from eachother, you should get a ugly looking body-ish shape with a bulbous head. but with some pinching and squeezing, the body will quickly become prettier.

Once you have squeezed the clay into shape, you should end up with some very simple silhouetted human shapes. I smooth the clay out using my fingers (not with any water) on the front and the back of the poppet. In 24-48 hours the poppets should be fully dry and ready for painting.

i paint the skin of the doll whatever colour i want and then give it a heart, sigils, a face, a belly button, and the name and birthdate of the person represented by the poppet on the back. i also make a few plain ones at a time so i always have some ready to use. (the paint i use is water-based acrylic paint).

i hope this is helpful to some people! i put a little extra effort into this post. don’t forget that you don’t have to make people shaped poppets! if you’re making a poppet for an animal, they would be super cute as animal shaped <3

Gift me sage and I will love you forever.

Seriously, though! I will accept any of these.

🦉 Familiars & Allies 🦉

(also my long-ass I'M BACK! post)

Okay so what are Familiars & Allies??

Familiar - is a specific, individual creature with whom you have established a psychic bond with. A familiar's presence may be sufficient to spark and enhance your magic. Basically, familiars are creatures who can realistically live with you.

A familiar may be considered an animal ally but allies transcend the boundaries of familiars.

Animal Allies - a form of spiritual relationship: because the relationship may occur entirely in the realm of the spirit, any animal may be approached. The presiding spirit of the animal may also be approached, rather than any individual creature.

Also a person may have as many familiars and/or allies as needed!!

And now onto the spells!!

Animal Communication Spell :

(this spell uses Eve Oil as it assists and enhances communication with animals)

Place apple blossoms, dried pomegranate seeds, and snake root in a bottle.

Cover with sweet almond and jojoba oil.

Dress candles with Eve Oil to accompany visualization as well as actual physical communication.

🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

Familiar Consecration Spell :

(for cementing and/or formalising the psychic bond between you and your familiar)

Cast a circle large enough to hold you, your familiar and any magical tools that you wish simultaneously to consecrate.

Burn frankincense on the periphery of the circle.

Sit within the circle, with your familiar, until you feel that it’s time to come out.

Repeat as needed.

🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

Animal Ally Invitation Spell:

Choose a focal image for your altar, something that represents your ally for you. Use a toy, a photograph, or an image. It is more crucial that it resonates strongly for you than that it be a literal depiction.

Surround it with objects or images that would normally be used to lure this creature. Make the invitation as strong as possible.

If you can find candles in the shape of your desired ally or its food, add them to the altar.

Grind cinnamon and frankincense together and burn them as a spirit-summoning incense.

In addition to #2, offer literal food. Alternatively, burn images of appropriate food.

Relax. Let your eyes go slightly out of focus and await visitations.

Try this for up to thirty minutes a day, until you receive results.

Your response may still occur during your dreams so have paper and pen by your bedside to record any significant dreams.

🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

Animal Spiritual Dedication Ritual:

A specific animal is chosen to be dedicated to a specific deity.

Purify the animal with juniper incense.

Sprinkle it with wine.

Decorate the animal with ribbons in colors associated with the specific spirit.

The animal is returned home or to its flock. It is now left alone to enjoy life as a gesture of sacrificial devotion.

Hey guys here are some tips for charging objects for spell-casting and why!

1. Bury the item you want to charge. Sometimes an item is used so often or for so long it starts to absorb energies around it. Reconnect it to the earth, literally grounding the item.

2. Charge with heat. There are many ways you can add heat to an item. The hot sun, a candle, an oven, a stove top, even the microwave. Please be careful when doing this however as it is very easy to get burned. As someone of finnish decent however, sauna stones are something I have often, and would recommend others try! 

3. Although an unusual way to consider charging, make sure the space around your altar is clean. Or clean something while carrying what it is you want to charge. The purpose of this is to transform the space, and remove additional energies that might be clogging up your spell

4. If possible, soak an item in salt water for a period of time. Salt’s status as an electrolyte means that it’s atoms carry a charge. I would recommend at least 24 hours. This is a very literal way to charge something, but also very easy. Note that any salt will work as epsom salts are also electrolytes (just not ones you should eat)

5. Use the New or Full moon. Naturally these are powerful times to spell cast, collect, and charge items, as even ocean waves are influenced moreso during these times. This also may be why your spells are not working–about a weak after a full or new moon, the moon is at its weakest. This reflects in the oceans as neap tides. Avoid spellcasting during those times.

6. Have someone close to you hold the item for a length of time. Every person has their own energy, and their own shared energy, and if the spell involves them, or they have a quality you want to invoke in yourself, 

7. For spells relating to change, take items from, or use a charging spell in liminal spaces. What does this mean? Loosely, liminal places that are only meant for transition, getting from one place to another. These are also places that make most people uneasy because lingering feels like it is outside of it’s normal use. This includes stairwells, elevators, train stations, empty parking lots, schools during break, even when at art galleries alone, because they imitate rooms we live in, while not being livable space. 

Sunrise magic

Sunrises hold a special magic to them that you can harness like the magic from the sun or the moon. For water, place it to the East as the sun rises and let the morning rays bless the water.

It has a very delicate and gentle power, but it is amazing.

Properties of sunrise water:

Newness, new beginnings, new opportunities

Second chances

Peace, calm, relaxing, ease anxiety or depression

Refresh and recharge

If made with birds singing: beauty, healing, happiness, good for the arts

If made when it's foggy: add a layer of mystery (if using it on behalf of someone else it will be like a secret blessing), slowly releases magic (great for spells you want to last a while)

If made when it's windy: stronger, more energy behind it, magic will work faster, a push to something new

Orange sunrise: joy, happiness, safety

Pink: best for spells or potions dealing with yourself, care, love, gentleness

This is some of my favorite water and energy to work with as it's so calm and soft.
