Eggshell Protection Powder for home
(This is the process that works for me, practices and traditions vary)
1: Save old eggshells. In this batch I used approximately 10 eggs. If you choose, use a number of eggs which could be magically or energetically significant. Wash eggshells in hot water and set aside to dry. Some people will take the extra step to peel the inner membrane off in order to get a finer powered, but I didn’t mind if it was chunkier.
2: Bake eggshells for 10 min at 250 degrees. Watch them closely, don’t let them burn! Allow time to cool.
3: To pulverize the shells: A clean coffee/herb grinder will work, but I prefer my pestle and mortar in order to work my intentions in kinetically. -I do a lot of spirit work so I also added protective/purifying herbs including himalayan salt, pepper, red pepper, and angelica root. As I set my intentions during grinding, I left a ‘door’ for the specific spirits which are my primary contacts so as not to inadvertently wall them out.
4: Transfer powder to clean, air tight storage. - Use a small funnel and a reused salt or small herb jar and gently transfer powder. Pour in batches in order not to accidentally over spill. I made more powder then this jar could hold so I ended up transferring to a larger one.
5: Use After smoke and bell cleansing the house, I sprinkled the powder around the perimeter of the property and along all door and windowsills.
There ya have it! Layer your protections with other techniques such as sigils, energy shields, salt rings or protective entities and enjoy an energetically safe home!

Magically cleaning stuff is just a part of witch life. Unfortunately, our dust is invisible, so most of the time we have to watch for the symptoms before we treat the cause.
Do I need to cleanse myself?
Any witch, whether they feel they are actively ‘practicing’ or not, should cleanse once a month at the very least. Once a week is better. If you have recently experienced any of the following, cleansing is a good idea.
Misfortune, bad news, high stress, arguments, or losses
An unusual streak of back luck, poor timing, clumsiness, or awkwardness
Acting in unusual and negative ways, such as being short-tempered or being angry at people you usually like
A big spiritual working, spirit contact, or an unexpected or startling magical event
If you feel as if there is a cloud around you
Running in to someone who really hates you, or being pointed out as a success in a crowd
How do I cleanse myself?
Do I need to cleanse an object?
The object was worn during a big emotional blow-up or argument
Jewelry that keeps slipping off, hurts your skin even when it never used to, or doesn’t seem to fit right for some reason
For some reason you just don’t like the object any more
You don’t like walking past it, or having it in the room
It is working incorrectly or you keep almost injuring yourself on it, even though it hasn’t physically broken
Items that seem to ‘bite’ you or hide from you
Do I need to cleanse an area?
Something negative happened there, such as abuse or a very negative argument.
Walking through the area makes you feel uncomfortable and you will go out of your way to avoid it
It feels different, as if it’s someone else’s house and you shouldn’t be there
You feel very dull or stagnant when in the area, or you feel unusual and unexpected emotions coming to you
When in doubt, cleanse - it doesn’t hurt anything.
Is cleansing always the answer? Nope. As witches, we need to be aware of when we are beat. Some things are too powerful for us to tackle alone or even with friends or a coven. Throw the object out or return it to the earth instead. Also, not every object that we can cleanse should be cleansed. Not everything is supposed to be filled with happy and bright energy. It is not always wisest or best to change something just because we don’t like it.

not for any specific reason i just think he’s annoying as fuck
Sometimes, those you care about are having a rough time. And you want to help! It’s natural to want to use what you know to help others. Here’s a spell I use to do just that.
What You Need:
turquoise
amethyst
lavender
rose petals
red candle
Now, set it all up. Candle in the middle, I sprinkled the lavender and rose petals around said candle. The lavender is to help soothe my particular person’s deep sadness, while the rose petals symbolize my love for them.
I held the amethyst in one hand, for protection and clearing mind clutter, allowing for clarity and healing. Turquoise for another type of protection, more physical. Both to help clear the person’s mind and aid them.
Then, I focused. Focused on how much I cared for the person, how much they meant to me, times we’d had in the past that meant so much to me. I thought of how my strength was given to them and how I wanted them to be better and safer and feel loved.
After a little while of this, I bottle the exact lavender and rose petals I used to give to the person at a later date!
