MIRROR MAGIC
Mirror magic can be a great way to see yourself better, to give yourself healing energy and love, for scrying, and can even be used to see yourself in a past life. Reflective surfaces have been used for millennia for magic of all purposes, including scrying and seeing the truth of a situation. They were thought by some to be portals, similar to Alice in Through the Looking Glass.
What do you do when you look in the mirror? Do you check your teeth to see if you have food stuck in them? Do you obsess over tiny imperfections, such as blemishes that no one else sees but you? Whatever we do when we first look in the mirror is what’s known as automatic programming. Usually, it’s a fear-based action to protect us from looking bad to others. In this section, we’ll make a conscious change from fear-based actions to practice mirror magic, the essence of which is love-based.
Your reflection is a product of the light (or absence thereof); the warmth or color of the light; the angle you tilt your head; the quality of the mirror; and the emotion you hold. Mirrors reflect our energy back to us. If we can connect with that energy, we can raise it to create magic.
Give Yourself Energy
Gaze at your reflection and enter a trance state. Breathe in love for yourself. As you exhale, give your reflection love. Receive the love from your reflection with every inhale. Feel the energy grow between yourself and your reflection, and let the exchange intensify.
Self-Love
Self-love is some of the most powerful magics there is. This practice isn’t unruly or narcissistic, but rather, a warm supporting love that calms the mind.
Look in the mirror. Stop any automatic programming that may arise and stare softly at your face. Notice what you admire the most about yourself — maybe you have nice cheeks or beautiful eyes. Smile gently at yourself while thinking about radical self-acceptance and love. Look beyond the surface of your skin and bring out the brilliant beauty of your soul.
Give yourself a compliment. Tell your reflection something like, “I love you. I adore you. I care about you so much. You’re magnificent,” or any other powerful affirmations. Accept these statements with grace and ease. Tell yourself, “thank you,” and mean it. See if you can create an energy fountain with your love.
This kind of mirror magic can be used for healing. It’s a great way to remove energetic blocks, cultivate a love of our perfect imperfections, and to be present in the moment.
If this practice makes you feel uncomfortable, imagine that you’re saying these kind and true words to your higher self and know that they see you that way, most certainly. Or, think about it this way. If you wouldn’t let your friend talk about themselves negatively, you shouldn’t let yourself talk that way, either. This is the perfect magic to be your own friend and extend the same respect to yourself. With time, it’ll become easier to accept love from yourself. Having compassion for yourself is magical, indeed.
Enchant Your Reflection (Glamor)
Mirror magic can be used to enchant our appearances. To enchant yourself, enter into a trance state. Tilt your head different ways until you see yourself in a new light. See yourself as beautiful or handsome. Turn up the charm — put stars into your eyes until you see sparkles in your reflection. Use your will to change your appearance slightly. See yourself as any number of things — younger, older, more desirable, etc. Like energetic cloaks, enchanting and glamor requires focus and can take energy to maintain. It’s best used for short periods of time, such as a performance or a photo shoot.
Draw Symbols and Sigils In Your Aura
One of my favorite things to do when I’m in a higher spiritual energetic state is to draw sigils in my aura. When we combine that with mirror magic, we have a powerful visualization and perfect placement of any magical symbols you want.
Stare at your reflection and bring on a trance state. Draw symbols or sigils with a finger dipped in essential oil or a lit incense stick. Go slowly, feeling the meaning of every curve and line of the symbol. With your second sight, see the sigils glowing with power. Hold the vision for as long as you can. To recharge them, send energy to them and envision them glowing again.
Past-Life Vision
Come close to the mirror. Stare into your eyes and enter a trance state. Let your eyes become a portal to another world. Allow the world dissolve around you into nothingness.
You may see yourself as eyes without a face or a body. Go deeper into the trance. See if you can see yourself with a different face, or with different clothing, or in a strange environment.
Scry
Scrying is one of the more difficult divination methods to master, but a very visual person will likely find their footing here. Enter a trance an look upon and into an object such as a black mirror, a pool of water, or a crystal ball. You may see figures and shapes, which can be interpreted as different things, and you may see a storyline play out. Keep at it. Practice, a good trance, and intuition are essential tools for this work.
Carry the Magic With You
Compacts and pocket mirrors are perfect ways to reset your energy in a relatively unnoticed way in public. Program your mirrors with one of the methods above. When you’re out and about, peek at the mirror and see yourself with the magic. All it takes is one look and you’ve reactivated the magic. If you use this mirror outside your home, cleanse it every once in a while. (just make sure it's warded so you don't carry around a portable portal lol)
MIRROR WARDING
Mirror warding is usually for old mirrors with silver backing, but they can still be useful for modern mirrors and probably should still be used in modern day. Especially for mirrors facing each other, you want to ward them to ensure they don't create a portal.
To ward a mirror, First cleanse it spiritually and physically. You can then take your own spit, florida water, protection oil, moon water, or whatever else and draw a sigil or rune for protection on the mirror. You can also wash the mirror in florida water or just line the border with it. I like to place my palm in the middle of the mirror after doing this to envision my hand locking the mirror.
MIRROR SPELLS
Mirrors can also be used in spellwork to reflect what was sent to you. or as a hex you give someone. The latter takes a bit of trickery but its easy if they don't know what they're doing.
For return to sender spells using a mirror, take a piece of paper and write the name of whoever sent shit to you, or just the word "negativity" or "return to sender" and fold it away from you. Take a small mirror and prop the folded paper on the mirror face down like a little tent. Circle it with black salt and say whatever you want to it. You can even say shit like "your energy is not wanted or needed here. Take back what you have sent me immediately" and burn the paper on the mirror right there.
For the hex/trickery thing… This involves them doing it, so it will take a bit of finesse. All they need is a small mirror, a black candle, and their reflection. Have them drip black wax over the mirror until they can no longer see their reflection. Tell them to take it home and put it in a window with the black wax facing out. It will basically lock their negativity and troubles in on themselves and localize it to just themself.

King Asmodeus
Ruler of Golachab, Lord of Lust.
Introduction:
King Asmodeus, 32nd Daemon of the Ars Goetia is a great King ruling over 72 legions of daemons and is said to be serving under Lord Amaymon directly. King Asmodeus is said to be patron of lust and love, and is one of the 7 princes of the deadly sins. He according to Solomon can grant the magician any sort of strength and can lure men into temptation of lust. In the Book of Tobit, it was he who killed Sarah's 7 husbands and stopped the couple from consummation of marriage. It was until Raphael who came forth and banished him with incense made of fish's heart, liver and gallbladder, practitioners and devotees who work with him is advised to avoid offerings of fish because of this, particularly a fish's heart, liver and gallbladder. In Hebrew lore, he is the son of Lady Naamah, and is said to be a fallen angel. Some practitioners in this path believe that he was once a human, then mastered his way in the infernal path as a magician and presumed a throne of his own in the Goetia and even the Qliphoth after his death. To each its own, everyone is entitled to their belief. Asmodeus derives from the Persian word Aeshma, it is said that Asmodeus originally came from the Zoroastrian religion, serving under Lord Ahriman as one his daeva of wrath, Aeshma Daeva. That aspect of his very different and they should not be treated equally as such since Aeshma is said to be a lot more dangerous to approach. A magician shall approach him with caution and the greatest respect. King Asmodeus is said to be in charge of luck, gambling, lust, violence, wrath, indulgences, revenge, love, domination, warriorhood. Please approach this King with respect as he can be quite unforgiving to those who don't give the respect he deserves.
My experience:
King Asmodeus is a very very charismatic being, he is very well known to send feelings of lust as signs and can guide one into baneful magick, teaching magician to dominate their victims. He was a very important being in the beginning of my path and guided me along with Lord Beelzebub to this glorious path. He is the ruler of the sphere Golachab and of course is strict when needed be. King Asmodeus is a being that should be treated with respect simply for the very reason that he deserves it, as a king should.

King Belial
The Lawless One, Great Ruler of the Abyss
Introduction:
68th spirit of the Ars Goetia, King Belial is notorious for his unpredictable nature and his enormous power within the Infernal Realms. He governs 50 legions and is said to appear in chariots of fire. It was said from the Ars Goetia that he was created second to Lucifer and his command is also second to Lucifer as well. Belial incites lust, sexual perversion and some even consider him as the chief of demons. He rules of the Abyss, lawlessness, trickery, sin, wickedness, chaos, darkness, witches, war and necromancy/death. He grants familiars and helps those he favours tremendously in their paths, practitioners should often give offerings when summoning the Great King, as he often demands it. He guides people through darkness, testing his practitioners and thus strike old foundations down to build new ones. He acts as a Guide when the magician ventures in the Abyss, he can help one reach enlightenment and is often an initiator to many traditions and currents.
Personal Experience:
King Belial is probably one of the most intimidating spirits/guides I've ever encountered. His unpredictable nature makes workings with him a bit more difficult since his tests are rather strict and unrelenting. He is a great alliance to have however, when you have gained his favour, he will assist and guide you to the right path. He is not a beginner friendly King due to his unpredictable nature, and i advise practitioners to give the utmost respect when encountering this great King. He is known to be stoic and strict, but can be kind, compassionate and a great protector towards those he favours much. Always be open minded about King Belial.

Nergal
God of War, Plagues and Death
Introduction:
One of the many forgotten gods in lost ancient civilisations, Nergal is the God of war, plagues and diseases to the Sumerians, who held tremendous power in the underworld, ruling as a terrifying King of Death. Son of Enlil and Ninlil He is said to be the most aggressive and violent God of the Sumerian pantheon, we see that attribute in the Epic of Erra where the world was in shambles and was at Nergal's mercy. He is also the God of "inflicted death" which is something interesting to note. Consorted with Ereshkigal co-ruling with her, Nergal is said to hold cures to every diseases he controls and decides the fate of who dies, gets injured and who gets spared too. Some say that Nergal is the chief of Hell's secret police, and is Beelzebub's spy in certain medieval lores. He was considered the patron God of hunting to the Assyrian kings. Besides war, plagues and death, Nergal also rules over famine, drought, lightning, fire etc as well as necromancy and destruction. He is a solar deity, it's said that his breath is the hot and dry desert winds, his destructiveness can aid heavily in baneful magick, he is definitely not one to underestimate, since He whole rules the dead, holds tremendous power and is a force to be recognised.

How to Work & Calibrate Your Pendulum
This is by no means an official guide. If anything this is just a way of letting you all know how I go about using my pendulum. I’m going to talk about calibration/establishing how I worked out what-means-what before I go into any methodology (I gathered my information from myriad sources and will list them if I can remember what/where they are).
Calibration/Figuring Out What Your Pendulum is Telling You:
Alright, so you might have a totally different way of doing this, but here’s mine! Firstly, you need a pendulum. This may be obvious, but I’m just putting it out there. A pendulum can be any weighted object that is suspended from a chain or string or some kind. You’ll find that lots of people use crystals for pendulums as they work particularly well. I did not with my first pendulum (tragic side story: my Mama accidentally threw my guide sheet and pendulum away when cleaning - absolutely devastating). That being said, you do not have to use a crystal. As I mentioned, my first pendulum was in fact a small silver pendant that held a white and black pearl inside. It was hung on a slim silver chain that was 7″ in length. An effective pendulum should be something that is connected to you and only you as it will be imbued with your energies. Take care - do not allow others to handle your pendulum as it may alter the energies and therefore the accuracy and effectiveness of your tool.
Onto the actual subject of this post (I digress often, as you’ve probably noticed). “But, Rowan how do I even get started!?” I hear you cry. Well, my darlings, this is how I did it:
First things first, you’ll need a piece of paper, a pen, and a ruler (if you like your lines straight) and of course, your pendulum. On the piece of paper, draw a circle as best as you can. It doesn’t have to be perfect but you can draw around a cup or mug if you like to get a nice round circle. Make sure the circle is big enough; I would recommend something akin to the size of the palm of your hand or bigger.
Next, use a ruler to find the centre of your circle and mark it with a dot. Now draw a line horizontally through the dot. Do this vertically and diagonally so that you have a diagram like the one below.
Once you’ve done this, sit down and breathe in and out deeply and calmly. It is time to prepare yourself for divining. Before every use of the pendulum, it is imperative (for me!) to be in a calm and serene state and to do this, I sit comfortably and close my eyes. I envision an aura of protective white light surrounding my body. Starting from my toes I let it envelope me and bathe me in warmth and spiritual energy. I visualize it travelling up through the crown chakra and into the third eye. This increases psychic and spiritual power.
The next thing you must do is a little strange sounding but important in this sort of work. You must tap a small circle counter-clockwise (the opposite direction in which a clock moves) around your thymus with your index finger (your thymus is just over an inch below the hollow between your collar bones on your chest). Doing this helps balance the energies within you.
This next part you will only have to do once, unless like me you lose your guide papers in an unfortunate cleaning mishap:
Now you need to establish the directions and what they mean. For example, which swing means yes? Which means no? Who knows? You will, in a minute. Sit with the soles of your feet planted firmly on the ground and place the paper between your legs/feet and take the chain/thong/rope between your thumb and finger, or two fingers; have a loose but secure grip. Let the pendulum hang and make sure the point of it is above the centre of your circle - this is why the dot in the centre helps because it’s a larger focal point.
To find your directions, you have to ask! Simple! Say aloud: “Show me the ‘yes’ signal/sign”, and take note of the direction of the pendulum’s movement. Does it move clockwise? Counter clockwise? Swing side-to-side? Diagonally? Up and down? If the pendulum does not move, repeat your question. If, after say 5-10 minutes it shows no intention of going anywhere, move onto your next enquiry. Once you have identified your signal, claim it and confirm it by saying something along the lines of, “this is my signal for yes”.
Repeat this exact process for ‘no’, and then, ‘do not know’, ‘ask later’, ‘cannot say’ and ‘maybe’ or ‘sort of’.
To further confirm that these are correct, test the pendulum by using statements that you know the answer to, for example, ‘my hair colour is ______’, or ‘my name is ______’. If your signals are right, the pendulum’s response will be yes or no depending on the statement you have made.
Once you are sure that you have calibrated your pendulum, make a note on your piece of paper regarding the directional signals. Note their meanings down.
Once this is all done, you’re done! You can begin divining to your heart’s content! You can keep using your guiding circle for as long as you like, there is no harm or shame in it! I used mine for a while afterwards to keep myself calm and confident as I am still a baby at this sort of thing.
Good luck and happy witchcrafting!

BLACK SALT (also known as WITCH’S SALT) is used primarily for protection, banishing, and repelling.
Those uses aren’t exclusive—it has also been known to feature in baneful magics, and can be used in uncrossing rituals.
WAYS TO UTILISE BLACK SALT
To protect your property from negative spirits, people with ill-intent, unwanted visitors, and negative energy: sprinkle black salt around the perimeter of your property.
To both banish any residual icky energy that a person may have left in your home, and prevent them from returning: sprinkle black salt on the front step and sweep it away. If you’re feeling more traditional (and brave!) you can throw black salt at the back of someone that is leaving your home also.
To prevent nightmares: use in a sachet and keep beneath your pillow.
To repel negativity, unwanted visitors, and rumours/gossip: sprinkle generously across windowsills and doorways.
To cleanse your home and keep nasties from entering: add black salt to a floor wash and go ham on your floor. Focus especially on high traffic areas.
To undo a curse, hex, or other form of malignant magic that has been cast upon you: use in an uncrossing oil or powder. Learn more about uncrossing [here].
To alleviate any negative thoughts and feelings that you are carrying: add a pinch of black salt to your bath, or to an oil with a similar purpose that you anoint yourself with.

Beginner Steps for Studying Witchcraft
A simple set of beginner steps that can be adapted to many different forms of witchcraft studies.
Step 1 - start with feeling energy and some simple meditation techniques. You’re looking for - can you create focus, draw energy to you and then move it into something else.
Step 2 - research the natural area around you. What are the plants (particularly the weeds. Weeds are often more native to the area). What are the stones in the area. What events happened that may have created or shifted energy in a particular area around you.
Step 3 - learn to cleanse your space. Look into various techniques - smoke, sound, sweeping, etc. Because you’ll want to be able to clear and cleanse before going further.
Step 4 - try some basic spell work using what you have available around you or can easily obtain locally. Do things like make a protection oil, create a charm, do a candle spell for something like finances.
Step 5 - look into divination practices. Tarot cards, pendulums, scrying. Is there a technique you’re particularly drawn to and want to incorporate into your craft.
Step 6 - begin exploring ritual and creating sacred space. You can look into techniques like casting a circle or laying the compass to create a space to work in. Study the witches’ sabbats and moon rituals. Try doing spells in ritual and sacred space. The spells done this way may be (but don’t have to be) more complex and focused.
Step 7 - are you interested in deity or spirit work? Often this goes together with ritual and sacred space. Research some of the deities traditionally associated with witchcraft and see if that aligns with your craft. For spirit work, you want to be sure you have control over your space before working with spirits. At this point, you’re probably safe to start researching it, but perhaps not to start actually summoning.
The steps will sometimes overlap and the order might shift depending on what is happening around you and what you’re drawn to, but these would be some of the things done and studied during a traditional year-and-a-day of witchcraft studies. So keep in mind - you would devote a year just to the learning the basics. After a year, you’d be able to do basic spell work, create sacred space and participate in ritual and cleanse your space. In a coven, you’d be working with the coven deities, so you wouldn’t be expected to run off and find a patron deity. And while you’d be using divination as part of your practice, you wouldn’t be expected to offer public readings. Essentially at the end of the year, the question to answer would be - do I want to go further?

SOUND CLEANSING
HOW IT WORKS
Sharp, sudden sounds—often metallic ones—vibrate on a frequency beyond what our ears can detect, compelling the objects and atmosphere to resonate in harmony and neutralize the energy in a space.
METHODS
you don’t need to splurge on expensive instruments to cleanse your home. You can use pretty much anything that makes a noise, even if it’s just your hands.
A bell
a sound bowl
coins in a bag
drums
tapping on a table
flicking an empty wine glass
If you just have your hands, you can clap
look at what you have. Try experimenting with different household items and see which type of sound resonates the most with you
STEPS
Head to the room or place object you want to ~cleanse~ close to the sound source (and open the windows so the negative vibes can clear out).
Then make your noise! Start in the center of the room, then move to each corner. It’s important to listen to the tone of the sounds you create. The duller the noise, the denser and more clogged up that area is.
You may need to make the sound several times before you notice the tone becoming higher, clearer, and cleaner.
EFFECTS
Over time, as you use sound tools more often, you’ll develop a feel for the kind of sound that chases out the negative energy. But most importantly, when you next enter the room, you’ll notice a lighter and purer quality to the air. Or to the object
This is really just a simple breakdown of sound cleaning! If you’d like to add anything please do!! 🥰 I am currently shadow banned right now so if you have any questions please feel free to send them via asks while I get the situation sorted! 💕 MERRY MEET! ~B ✨
