Clout chasing keeps ruining communities. The witchcraft community is no different.
You shouldn’t feel like you have to post readings every single day, pump out “content” to be posted every hour on the hour, craft sigils until your hands are cramped, and record vlogs about your deity experience in order to have a place in the community and be “relevant.”
Your altars and candles don’t have to be “insta-worthy” in order to be potent tools of magic.
You don’t need to spent thousands of dollars on the most trendy crystals to cast spells.
This is a spirituality, not a runway.
Just do you.
Whenever I cleanse a spell jar (as a closeted witch) I use moon water and a bit of sea salt. Salt for protection, and moon water because it’s absorbed the qualities of the full moon (or whatever moon you used.)
@ witchblr, I have a question. I'm planning to make my first spell jar, and have researched all of what I can put in it, and how to seal it, and all that, but I've only ever seen others cleanse their jars with incense. I'm not exactly in the position to get or use incense due to being a closeted witch, so is there any other way to cleanse a jar? I can't find any articles on this.
Sigils are little symbols that can channel intent to do spells or help in rituals. I find sigils are very low energy, and good for witches in the broom closet- or however you categorize being a secret witch. Stick these bad boys on the bottom of your shoe, as a doodle in a notebook, on a random sheet of paper, and no one will ever know!
There are several methods for making sigils. I’ll make a post covering each. Today, we’re covering the 1-9 Method! (If there’s an actual name for that pls tell me)
The 1-9 Method is a method where you assign each letter of the alphabet a number between 1 and 9 to make a sigil.
The first step is to take the alphabet and put it into a chart, with 9 columns, each labeled 1-9, so it’s organized something like this:
Once you get that all finished, pick a word or a phrase; I’m going to use “protection”.
This is where things get a little dicey. Some people say you have to drop all repeat letters. Some say repeats and vowels. I personally view that as garbage; doesn’t mean it isn’t a valid way to make a sigil. I just think that we organized the whole damn alphabet into 9 columns, so we should use the whole damn alphabet! I drop my repeats, so “protection” looks a like this:
Protection = Protecin
After that, we match every letter with its number on the table.
Protecin = 79625395
Now draw a circle. Divide it into 9 pieces, and start with your first number; in my case 7. Find point 7, and move to point 9, then 6, so on and so forth. Here’s how my circle started out versus how it ended:
I tried to include arrows, but it looks a bit confusing……. *sigh*
FUCK
combine your first real fandom with your current one to create a terrible, terrible au
Thank you very much! 💜
Ma’am I need help.. is it okay to use a metal thing for your wand? Because I have a very pretty hand-made copper bubble wand and I wanna use it for a wand..
Of course! Wands are used as a means to direct and channel energy, and metals are good conductors so it’s safe to assume that they’d make good wands.
As much as woods are the traditional option, they aren’t the only option.
Hey it’s me again, from the fae post. Just wondering if you still do free readings and if you do, I would love to know if there are any fae around me that would like to reach out or maybe around me in general? I do tarot but I’m not great at it.

Hey there! Sorry it took so long, but here’s your reading!
Strength, upright: inner strength, bravery, and compassion.
The Moon, upright: unconscious, illusions, and intuition.
The Ace of Swords, upright: breakthroughs, new ideas, mental clarity, and success.
Overall, it looks like should you find the courage to take that first step, there will be faeries willing to speak with you. You’ll have to use your gut to tell you if these fae are trustworthy, but in the end, you’ll find these fae open to conversation!
omg please drop the silmarillion oracle deck bestie…. if there’s a link even better 🥺 i’m so obsessed
Of course! I think I’ll do a couple at a time- there’s a lot, and they’ve all got individual backs!
A sigil for protection.

Hello I’m Winnie your new follower. Can I please request a free reading regarding how Zeus and Ares feel about me? What’s energies are between us? Thank you in advance I’ll leave feedback!!
Hey there! Sorry it took so long! Here are two readings, one for each deity!
Here’s Zeus’s:
The Ace of Cups and the King of Swords!
The Ace of cups is a card of new beginnings and emotional fulfillment, while the King of Swords cuts through lies and deceptions, and is a pillar of strength in a chaotic mind.
Zeus is offering you a new journey, or a new path; one that will lead you to a place of fulfillment. He will guide you, and give you the strength to stand tall amidst lies and chaos.
This is the reading for Ares:
The Page of Cups and the Magician in reverse!
The Page of cups is telling you that the unconscious or the spiritual is trying to contact you, though you may not know why. The reversed Magician can mean you are being deceived by someone using their powers for their own purposes at the cost of others, and that you are drifting further and further from the truth.
It appears Ares is trying to tell you someone near you is deceiving you, and that he can help you find them. HOWEVER, this could also mean that it is someone pretending to be Ares, and you are unaware. Whatever the meaning, please be careful!!
Hope it was helpful!
