This is a spell to help free yourself from whatever binds you or holds you back.
Materials:
black candle
black ribbon or cord
Light the candle. Wrap the ribbon loosely around your wrists and hold them out in front of you. Say the following:
“I have been bound by _____ (name of the person, bad habit, old job, an experience, or whatever it is that bound you), But no longer willing am I to be, I let it/him/her go and walk away, And so it is that I am free.”
When you have finished reciting the spell, allow the ribbon to slide off your wrists. Dispose of the ribbon somehow – burn it, bury it, etc.

What You Will Need:
Different Color Paper/ newspaper/ magazine paper.
Glue
sharpie
Paintbrush/ finger
Tiny Wood dowel rod/ pencil/ wooden kabob skewer
String
You will cut you paper into shapes. The Image below is different shapes and the beads they make.
On each strip of paper you will write a wish that you want to come true.
Coat the strip in glue using the paint brush of the finger.
Using the rod to keep the hole in the bead, Roll it up and let it dry.
Once all your wish beads are good and dry, string them while saying..
I have made these simple beads
I hope the wishes will come true.
They are only minor needs
I have far to much to lose.
Once the necklace is done.. Wear it.
You can also leave some of the beads blank so that when you needa spare wish you can just touch the necklace and use it.
You’ll need: A bottle or jar with lid Any of the following herbs(fresh or dried): rosemary, tumeric, ginger, basil Any of the following oils: lavender, tea tree, peppermint (especially for headaches), rosemary A candle in any of the following colors: green, blue, violet, red or white A slip of paper and a writing utensil
On the slip of paper, write the name of the person to be healed, or what is to be healed if it is you. Add this to your container first.
Then add whatever ingredients you have collected to the jar (herbs first, then oils).
If your jar is a little bigger, consider adding some cleansed water as well (you can cleanse by moonlight, sunlight or by intention).
Carve the same thing that you wrote on the slip of paper onto your candle, and anoint it with one of the oils you chose (I used just rosemary on my candle, and rosemary, peppermint and lavender in my bottle.) Light your candle, and say this incantation four(4) times:
Magic mend while the candle burns Sickness ends as health returns Harm to none, so mote it be
Seal your container and drip some wax on the top. Let your candle burn itself out in a safe place.
Do not open your container until the healing is complete.

As many of you probably know, I am a very curse-friendly witch. If someone is out to harm me, or is willing to harm the people in my circles, I can and will curse them.
I will not curse people for no reason of course, and neither will I curse the people that have done small, insignificant things. As such, my curses are strong, and usually pretty fierce. I have learned a thing or two about protecting oneself when casting curses, and I thought sharing a few of these things may be helpful to you all :)
This is the first post out of four in which I will be giving advice and personal insight on methods of staying safe before. during, and after cursing. I hope they help you and keep you well!
Set up a nice protection system ahead of time.
Even if you’re not someone who uses curses, it’s a good idea to have barriers and enchantments set up just in case. You never know when you might need them. It’s important to feel and be safe, especially when you’re doing something a bit risky.
As some of you may have realized, there can be backlashes when you curse. This can be caused by a number of things:
the witch you are trying to curse has reflective protection
you made a mistake when casting
someone decided to curse you with whatever curse you placed upon them
You have some unresolved negative energy acting somewhere in your life, and it is triggered by the curse
In all of these scenarios, protecting yourself from harm is a great plan. If the curse does happen to backlash or something goes wrong, it will be diffused and your hide will be saved. I have been hit hard with a reflected curse more than a few times, and all of them happened when I was lazy and decided not to set up protective barriers.
So being protected is nice and all, but it may seem like something that is complex and hard to understand. I’ll break down a method that is pretty simple and easy to follow.
I like to start off my shielding spells with a list of what areas of my life could use some protection.
Things like the self, your home, your career, your relationships, etc. are all pieces of your own little world that definitely need to be guarded. Figure out what you want to place little bubbles around, and write it all down. Keeping the list for reference is something I personally recommend, since I tend to forget, and it could be useful later. Looking at my lists always makes me feel secure.
After you’ve done this, research what type of protection you want to use. Reflective, neutralizing, or offensive are three different types.
Reflective protection just means that whatever curse or energy is directed towards you will be reflected back at the sender. It is usually a bit varied on intensity; the more effort you put into the shielding, the more imminent the reflection will be. But if the sender has a good system set up, they may not be affected at all.
I find that this type of protection is best used if the person you are going to curse will figure out that you are cursing them. I don’t recommend using it for pre-curse protection unless you specify that it must originate from an outside source. It takes a lot of energy, but is worth it for the witch-on-witch curses.
Neutralizing protection neutralizes the backlash/curse directed towards you. Whatever runs into the barrier is made into neutron-esque energy, not really positive nor negative. It works like a shield, and is nice for cursing backlash worriers. I like to use black tourmaline as small neutralizing charms, so that may be a way you can protect yourself. It is my personal favorite pre-curse protection method.
Offensive protection works on the offense; any curses that are trying to reach you are automatically countered with a stronger, more brutal curse. I like to add a reflective protection within offensive protection, since it does twice the damage. But again, be careful and specify where the offense will be directed to.
Now that you’ve got all that information sorted out, you can choose some spells to use! You might even like to blend and mesh a few of them together to create a super protective shielding system, closing all the holes and back doors. Don’t leave room for someone to get to you if you can help it.
Once you find something you believe will work, or have written it out, get to work gathering supplies.
Clean up your house, cleanse anything you feel is holding stagnant energy, and get prepared. I like to take a day of rest in between this stage and the actually protection rituals, but I have done it one after the other in the past, and it does make me feel more focused. (You’ll use a lot of energy, but as long as you feel like everything is good, you should be alright) Burn some sage, scatter salt, and ground yourself. Take a deep breath, and continue.
Finally you can do the rituals!
Spend time and work hard on them. Do the things that make you feel safe, and put all of your protective energy out there to work for you, and get yourself ready to curse. Feel confident in your own abilities as you do this. You are a strong witch.
Here are two protection spell masterposts to give you inspiration:

Take a break. Let yourself cool down so you can curse using as much energy as you want. Do some self-care rituals and surround yourself with invigorating things.I enjoy drinking a lot of gem elixir/moon water during the week leading up to the day I curse (careful with the crystals you use! some are toxic, or dissolve in water). Adding energy to your food is another good idea.
Check your system for breaks or possible weak spots. Reinforce these places with more spells until you feel comfortable. Now you can begin planning your curse and feel safe doing it :)
Hopefully this was helpful and indepth! :D I am writing the other three parts now, and hope to have them out very soon ^_^
Rowena’s 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 I’ve 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 I’ve 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 you’re 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. You’re finished!
As a way to maintain the landlord rules going on when I’m away traveling or at my girlfriend’s house, I made this amulet that is hanging on my front door.
I was called to do this during the banishing ritual I posted here, and so I used what I had in hand: some twigs and black ribbon. It could have been a poppet of me or an item that’s close to me and will not leave my place.
They key of it is my blood, connecting the item to me. So, when I’m out, this represents me and my power over my land–it’s basically a warning for intruders that I’m there even when I’m not, I will notice them and will be pissed when I’m back.
