Tired Witch Tips

Witchy routines you can do in bed:

Journaling 

Tarot readings

Affirmations

Creating Sigils

Dream journaling

Meditation

Lucid dreaming

Astral traveling 

Lazy little shortcuts

Carry things around with you to charge, collect energy, bond with them, or even to keep spells near by/activated (harking back to the idea of shaking a spell jar to reactivate it)

Visualize how you want to be seen while putting on makeup for a quick and easy glamor spell

express gratitude to deities and nature regularly - this counts as witchcraft and is low effort

Showers can not only cleanse you physically, but the element of water cleanses spiritually as well

similarly, baths are calming and can be used to create spells by the addition of safe plants and oils

incorporating music into verbal spells and meditation can cleanse and boost 

the simple act of practicing self care and self love is witchcraft with the right intent!

Healing for Others

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!

quick n easy beauty/attraction spell for when u ain’t feelin ur bad bitch self

VRY QUICK EMERGENCY BEAUTY/ATTRACTION SPELL WHEN UR IN UR BAG AND U NEED A LIL REMINDER OF HOW HOT AND SEXY U ARE

literally every step of this can be altered, use whatever ur have in the house, do it while ur painting ur nails, have lofi beats playing in the background, there are no rules, this is just what i had time/the materials for at the last minute.

cast circle + gather materials + prepare altar + invoke deities

collect ingredients into a bowl/bottle/whatever 

lavender (good fortune, good luck) rosemary (strength in routine, spiritual/psychic connection) bay leaves (protection from bad/negative/”ugly” energy) rose petals (beauty, attraction, blessing for Aphrodite) bergamot (confidence, radiance, inner strength)

write what you want to manifest in terms of physical appearance (from longer hair & healthier nails to self love & divine feminine energy

close the circle, thank deities, reflect, etc. 

be hot and sexcy

articles that helped me as a baby witch

so i’ve been helping my friend @wholecashews get into witchcraft and this has given me a chance to go over all of the things I read when I was just starting out and think about the things that really impacted me, and I decided maybe it would be cool to post some of the links I sent to her on here as well :) 

so I’ll start with the big one: this article, Sigils Reboot by Gordon at Rune Soup, MADE ME BELIEVE IN MAGIC. Like before I was kind of like, “Sure, yeah, this sounds fun to believe in and play around with” but after I read this article I felt like I’d just found the glitch in the Matrix or something. I highly recommend reading if you appreciate an explanation of magic that leans toward the psychological side. 

this little blurb about witchcraft and the placebo effect also makes a good point about the psychology behind magic’s power. 

this thread on skeptics trying to get into witchcraft again discusses several people’s experiences with the psychological approach to magic, and was very helpful for me to read. Looking at all of these different articles as someone just starting off and trying to figure out “how does this even work?” really helped me get a handle on how magic works (to the best extent that you can even try to understand that) and helped everything suddenly feel a lot more accessible and sensible. Suddenly I was like “oh ok yes you use a red ribbon in this spell because of your brain and how it works, not just because Somebody Said So”. as a beginner that was an important distinction to make because then I began to see how I could make witchcraft my own instead of just copying people’s spells. 

to that end, reading this piece on aesthetics and mechanics of magic made a lot of sense to me once I had really considered the psychological aspects of witchcraft. it was also encouraging for me to think about my own craft and put more thought into building it. 

all of those links^ came from @upthewitchypunx‘s diy witchery resources. that page is a treasure trove, thank you for compiling it!

all of that info also reminds me of something i saw around tumblr a few times that really confused me at first: spell paradigms, meaning the assumption behind how a spell works. lots of spells don’t explicitly say “this spell will bring you money because the green candle has supreme money power or the thyme sprinkled around will attract it or etc”. instead they just sort of tell you what to do without telling you how they make things happen. the subject of spell paradigms is definitely still interesting and maybe not entirely clear to me, but I think it is related to the whole psychology aspect of the discussion. personally i haven’t really even begun to think about deities but have thought more about chaos and energy. deities is a whole other can of worms if we’re going to to get particular about how magic works, so I haven’t gone there yet. 

the witches’ workbook by @theoryofmagick is a great general primer that I really appreciated reading because it clearly lays out a lot of things that are good for a beginner to think about. unfortunately i can only find those first 2 chapters, but they are great and informative!

this post also provides a simple list of ideas for what to do as a witchling. sometimes you just need a list!

Eliza at @maddiviner has a really awesome and informative site in general. I really appreciated how well-written her new witches page is - she also does a good job just laying a lot of info on the table for you. she has a lot of good info on divination as well. 

lastly, I <3 andi grace! this article of theirs on coming out of the woo closet really helped me see how witchcraft and social justice are tied. i came to witchcraft already having radical politics, so i was not super into the very white, eurocentric, binaristic, and blissfully-unconcerned-about-cultural-appropriation version of witchcraft that came up sometimes on tumblr. this is a great and motivating read for anti-capitalist witchbabes. 

ok 2 more and then I’m done. 

Pagans of Color! Important and much-needed resources on racial intersections and practices of witchcraft - as a white person I love reading this site to broaden my perspectives. They also have a really good set of articles on there that are targeted towards white people in the witchcraft community. 

and through them I found this really great article (and here’s their notes on it too) about the toxic privilege and racism that underlies white spiritual communities and how to improve it. always good to be thinking about this no matter where i am in my craft. 

phew! ok. that’s all. as you can see i did a lot of reading starting out, and i still do a lot of reading. that’s what it’s about! hope these help :) 

too many tasks... ʕ•ᴥ•;ʔ
