What are some daily witchcraft things you don't personally do anymore, but would recommend to new witches?
I'm gonna go a little off the rails from your question, hope you don't mind. I do some of this stuff and I've maintained most of my witchy habits throughout my practice.
Daily:
Meditate
Pull a tarot card
Ask the pendulum a question or two
Interpret or at least journal your dreams
Pick some witchy items to carry on you for the day
Pray to any deities (if you have them)
Weekly/monthly:
Cleanse your tools
Cleanse your space
Charge your tools/crystals
Add energy to/add new layers to/redo your wards
Give offerings to your deities
Make moon water
Take note of current/oncoming moon phases & what you want to do for them
Take note of any supplies you need more of
Look at your notes, is there anything you want to start researching or work on?
Reflect on previous tarot readings

๐ i recently got a new place and iโve been coming up with all sorts of new wards and such for the new space (which has been so fun ahh) so i figured why not make a little list of things iโve noticed have really great protective qualities for the home, i hope you guys find a few to string together for your personal home wards :)
- cinnamon; really great to shake up the energies after having troublesome visitors and bringing back the warm and cozy vibes
- rosemary; good for lightly refreshing stale energies, great for a new space or whenever you feel like things are sort of just stagnant in the house
- most black stones; particularly onyx, tourmaline, kyanite, obsidian, etc, are all great for either repelling/absorbing negative energies, just make sure you research which does what because youโll wanna cleanse the โabsorbersโ regularly!
- black pepper; similar to cinnamon itโs really good at getting rid of lingering energies from visitors, iโd say itโs a bit stronger for things like banishing and renewal though :)
- english ivy; really great for integrating good energy into the home and keeping it there, brings a grounded and secure energy to a home
- cayenne; really any red pepper is great for keeping out unwanted energies, also serves as a great restart button for particularly aggressive energies
- thyme; encourages civility in a chaotic household
- cacti thorns; careful getting these! but theyโre amazing for keeping out unwanted energies, i wouldnโt recommend for cleansing necessarily though
๐ thereโs definitely so many more but these are the ones iโm most familiar with at the moment, so i might make a pt.2 eventually once i experiment a bit more, i hope this was helpful!
