đMy pleasure reading is now academic reading. After starting to lose the skill I once had, my reading comprehension has gone way up.
đ I get more done and finished more projects because the first step of something can be a spell. Spells are fun to do so Iâm less likely to put it off. Once Iâve taken the first step, I have the motivation and momentum to see the rest of it through, something I used to struggle with. đ I feel as if I have much more agency in my life. I can protect myself from toxic people and actively pull myself out of toxic mindsets much more easily than before.
đ Articulating what I want in spells has helped me better understand what I want out of life or what I should be truly focusing on.
đIâm much, MUCH better at cooking. I can feed myself on more than just ramen and toast, which makes me healthier and happier.
đI have more motivation to give back to the community, through charity or service work, or just being more mindful about the environment and supporting local businesses.
đI have a much deeper understanding of history and cultures outside of my own.
đ I used to be a slob, but now I regularly clean my room and keep my space tidy because I recognize that a messy room affects me negatively and hurts my magic. Also, my room always smells excellent.
đ Whenever I work with deities I practice ritual self hygiene. So the little things I used to ignore before bed donât get ignored as much.
đI have a much deeper appreciation for the little things in life, happy coincidences, tiny blessings. I notice them much more and am thankful.
đ I have met so many amazing people and have formed wonderful friendships around the craft.
In the end, when people debate if magic is real or not, who cares? Itâs undeniably producing real results.
Is there a way to draw witches near, so I can meet them before I give them their jar?
Rowenaâs Anti-Anxiety Incense
Personally, this is one of my favourite spells, simply because it is both incredibly simple and incredibly effective. This loose incense can be burned for rituals or used as a carried remedy for everyday fears and worries.
What you will need: ⢠1 part jasmine (fresh, dried or resin, which Iâve used in the photos above) ⢠1 part dried sage ⢠1 pinch of sea salt ⢠2 candles, preferably white ⢠a blessed or charged bowl and grinder ⢠a lighter or matches ⢠2 small glass jars ⢠a spoon or funnel ⢠some dried wood pieces
Optional: ⢠2 charged gemstones of your choice (for this Iâve chosen garnet) ⢠An essential oil of your choice (I recommend lavender or peppermint)
Directions: 1. Prep your bowl with a quick rinse and dry to remove any dust or impurities
2. Light your candles and set your gemstones in place around your bowl.
3. Prep the ingredients - Crumble your sage and jasmine, measure out your salt
4. Add sage, jasmine and salt to your bowl.
5. Grind your ingredients together. Make sure you are focusing your energies onto your goal. Maintain a calm state of mind and state your desires aloud if you can.
6. When you feel your ingredients are sufficiently ground, take the bowl between your hands, close your eyes and ground yourself. This is the most important part of the process. Keep your mind focused upon what you would like to achieve with this incense. If youâre preparing it for a love one, think of what you would like them to get from your gift. When you feel as though you have your desires in mind, take three slow breaths. On each exhale imagine yourself pushing energy from your third eye into the incense itself. Once you have finished charging your incense you may open your eyes.
7. Using your spoon/funnel, fill each jar about half full with your new incense and cork them firmly. Make sure to leave a little bit of incense in the bowl for the closing of the ritual.
8. Arrange the wood pieces in along with the remainder of your incense. Light the wood aflame and allow it to burn while you recite any closing remarks.
9. Extinguish the flame with some water and blow out your candles. Youâre finished!

Hi! I was wondering if you could tell me a bit more about your 'getting to know you' spread for a new deck? It probably sounds silly but my new deck feels a bit 'reluctant' compared to my previous one, if that makes sense, and I was wondering if you had any pointers đ
Hello! First off, you donât sound silly at all. Some decks, just like some people, are a little shy or reticent when they meet someone and need a prompt to open up. Which is where Deck Interviews, like my Getting to Know You spread, come in.Â
The standard deck interview, which I first came across quite a few years ago, is a six card draw. However, as Iâve worked Iâve expanded on that and my current spread is a nine draw. Yes, this is because Iâm quite attached to the magical significance of 3x3 but also because Iâm one of those people who canât resist tinkering to make things personal.Â
Caveat at this point to say everyone should please feel free to change this in anyway that feels right to you.
So, the spread itself:
The five cards in the bottom row focus solely on the deck:
1. What is your nature? Basically tell me about yourself, give me an idea of your character.
2. What are your strengths? Tell me what type of readings youâre going to excel at.
3. What do you like doing best? Which may at first glance look like a repeat of question 2, but it isnât. I have observed that, again like people, some decks may not always enjoy doing the thing they are best at - Iâm brilliant at maths but I get much more joy out of reading tarot and writing (which Iâm good at but not as good as I am at maths).
4. What are your weaknesses? Tell me what type of readings youâre going to struggle with.
5. What do you not like doing? Again, like people, the thing your deck might like least may not correspond to what it is weakest at.
The three cards in the middle row focus on the immediate relationship between you and the deck:
6. How do you feel about me? (no explanation needed)
7. What do you think I need to learn? Tell me what youâve come into my life to teach me/help me understand.
8. How can I work to achieve that? Tell me what you want us to focus on first.
The final card on the top row is looking ahead at the relationship between you and the deck:
9. Where do you see us going together? Tell me which path weâre on, in this journey weâre about to take together!
I hope that helps. If you do use it, or create your own deck interview spread from this, please do share the results!
Thorns puncture your feet as you come near me.
Your stomach churns and twists as you come near me.
Your skin burns and blisters as you come near me.
I banish you from me.
Your vision grows dark as you come near me.
Your hands become numb as you come near me.
Your tongue becomes heavy as you come near me.
I banish you from me.
Your breath stops as you come near me.
Your heart stops as you come near me.
Your soul dies as you come near me.
I banish you from me.
Never come near me.
