Doing the Craft Without Spending Money

Since I started practicing the craft, I’ve spent very little money, mainly for an oil/incense burner and some small candles. I make use of everyday items and natural finds:

Witch Bells: Made from broken Christmas decorations I repurposed.

Containers and bottles for magical waters: I clean and reuse lotion bottles and day cream containers to store ingredients. I take off any sticker or label they may have and clean the glue that remains with alcohol and a hard sponge.

I use small bottles from alcoholic drinks, cleaned thoroughly, and tie different colored threads around them to identify the type of water (e.g., moon water, rainwater, sun water).

Candles: I collect leftover wax from candles in a simple plastic tray, then melt and combine it to create a new candle.

Natural Finds: On my walks, I collect plants and stones, then identify them using apps like PlantNet and Rock Identifier. I dry them and put them in small bags, adding a label with the name of each item and store them.

Homemade Incense: I make my own incense using dried lavender and other herbs I gather.

⚠️ Important Safety Guidelines

1. Identification is Key:

Before collecting or burning anything, identify the item and research thoroughly to ensure it is safe.

-Plants: Ensure they are non-toxic and suitable for burning or keeping in your home.

-Stones: Check if they are safe to handle or use in spells (some stones can dissolve in water or release harmful substances).

-Feathers: Be cautious. Avoid touching with bare hands. They can have bacteria and parasites.

2. Avoid Toxic Materials:

Never touch or take anything that might be poisonous or hazardous. When in doubt, leave it.

Cleaning and Preparing Found Items

Wild Herbs:

1. Rinse Gently:

Rinse the herbs under cool running water to remove dirt, dust, and bugs.

2. Disinfect (Optional):

Soak the herbs briefly in a bowl of water with a splash of white vinegar. This helps remove bacteria or pesticides.

3. Dry Thoroughly:

Lay the herbs on a clean towel in a warm, dry spot away from direct sunlight to preserve their natural oils.

4. Storage:

Once completely dry, store in a clean, airtight container away from moisture and light.

Stones and Crystals:

1. Water Cleaning:

Rinse the stone with warm water (if the stone is water-safe; avoid water for stones like selenite or malachite).

2. Salt Bath:

For hard stones, you can soak them in a bowl of sea salt or Himalayan salt for a few hours.

3. Energy Cleansing:

Place the stone under the light of the full moon or smudge it with sage or incense to cleanse its energy.

4. Avoid Harsh Chemicals:

Never use soap or harsh cleaners on stones, as this can damage their surface.

Feathers:

1. Disinfect Safely:

Place the feather in a sealed bag with a small amount of food-grade diatomaceous earth for 24-48 hours to kill any mites or parasites. You can also use a diluted solution of disinfectant and soak the feather for some minutes.

2. Wash Gently:

Soak the feather in warm water with a mild soap or baby shampoo. Avoid scrubbing, as it can damage the feather.

3. Dry Naturally:

Lay the feather flat on a towel and let it air dry completely. You can shape it with a toothbrush you no longer use.
