all that shit is made up!! everything is made up! witchcraft is made up!!!!!! stop relying on what one person said either 200 years ago or on the internet last september. STOP WORRYING!!!

Nontraditional Baneful Work (1)

For the hardcore crystal witch:

Specific harm

On a very sunny day, write on paper: "[Name Of Enemy] will [experience a great misfortune] before [date]" or similar, or use a sigil. Take a sphere of quartz, hold above the paper, and allow the sun to stream through it until the victim's name is scorched from the paper.

Harm in love

Write their name on a slip of paper. On another, write "your/their heart will not find love", similar, or use a sigil. Wrap in cloth or tinfoil with a piece of rose quartz. Unwrap to release.

(Even if you do not cleanse your crystals, I would recommend doing so after using them as described above)

For the elemental witch:

General harm

Create a vial of strong sun water, then "corrupt" with a pinch of pepper or a splash of red dye. On paper, write the name of your victim, and cast them into the vial. Shake vigorously to expedite.

Productivity-related harm

Cast a small item taken from your victim into a vial of ocean water. They now feel as if they are drowning in their responsibilities. Pour out to release.

There are always alternatives to the risk of pickpocketing items on and off of people, but this is a method I have always had success with.

For the nature witch:

Long-term harm

Healthy acorns sink in water, while rotten ones will float (most of the time). Take a floating acorn and and whisper to it its purpose. Sneak it into your victim's belongings and let it take root.

Bad luck

Paint the name of your victim in water on a maple leaf. Place the maple leaf under the candlestick of a black candle and let burn for as long as you like. Negative energy, including that of any standing hexes against you, will be captured and sent on to your victim, even if they are its originator.

(All are based on my own research, practice, experience, and theory. I encourage you to modify these for your own use if I have inspired you.)

Witch Safety Tip:

Don't burn cinnamon or cassia. I know it smells delicious. I know it has the cleansing power we all dream of. But cinnamon is a SEVERE respiratory irritant. Even if your lungs are healthy, it can cause lung scarring. If your lungs are less than flawless? Disaster.

That includes cinnamon oil.

Cinnamon scented candles are fine, because they're stabilized.

Heating cinnamon or cinnamon oil up is fine.

Just don't burn it.

Bonus Tip: don't put cinnamon on your skin. ESPECIALLY NOT CINNAMON OIL. We use cinnamon oil to strip varnish from furniture. Back in ye olde days of the 2010s, people mixed cinnamon powder with water to give themselves a facial peel. They peeled their flesh right off! Cinnamon can give you third degree chemical burns.

I hope it gets easier for you to live in the now. To remember that you're here, in the present moment, that you're safe, even if your mind is thinking of the worst case scenario. You will overcome every obstacle when they arrive, but right now, you can rest.

Liminal Spaces

What is a liminal space? A liminal space is the space between the physical and the astral realm where we can manipulate our surroundings, meet with deities, entities, and spirits of all kinds (that we invite to meet us) and it can get your feet wet before you go fully into the astral if it's a bit intimidating.

How do I get there? Getting to the liminal space is admittedly MUCH different than going to the astral. Getting into a meditative state will be the first step. When I do it, I will count backwards from 100 and then backwards from 30 and imagine what i can only describe as that black endless space that Eleven experiences when she is blindfolded in Stranger Things. It can look completely black to you, completely white, illuminated from just the top, anything you make it. It's important to note that this is not like the astral at all. It's a space you create yourself that you put yourself in. Like a pocket dimension.

What can you do there? And Why would you want to go there? Whatever you want and why-ever you want. Many people, myself included, use the liminal space to train with magic and weaponry with deities and entities teaching us. I work on Chaos magic principles and exercises there so if anything goes supernova, it won't affect anyone or anything in the astral or in the physical. I have trained in astral warfare with Archangel Michael using swords, and even just meeting deities for a pleasant conversation and tea. You can do this with any deity, spirit, angel, demon, ancestor, etc that you please. But because this is a space you create yourself (in a sense), you ask them to join you and they will meet you there. This can be the perfect space to train, talk to deities, ask them questions, and experiment with your energy. This is kinda like the training holo-deck from Star Trek (sorry if I'm showing my age) where you can just kind of go nuts and be immersed into something for a while (i should mention here as well, this is NOT shifting, it is NOT lucid dreaming, and it is NOT daydreaming, this is a meditation form and you should not use this for escapism purposes). Get a feel for your energy, because here it can manifest pseudo-physically. You can SEE your energy working and what it's doing, you don't have to guess at it like you sometimes have to when you are awake. Shoot it from your palm, create targets and try different tactics on them, bind, restrict, push, bring things in, and manipulate your energy however you please. It can really be useful to practice this in a liminal space where you can't harm anyone or anything accidentally. Ask your spirit guides, ancestors, deities, or any other entity to come with you and help teach you. It may take a bit of time to get used to the Liminal space, but it can be a lot of fun.

How do you know it's not the astral? It will definitely feel different, more empty. In the astral you can create things to a degree, but creating entire structures takes more effort in the astral in my opinion. In the astral there are beings and creatures and just general THINGS everywhere, just like real life. In the liminal space it's more like it's just Population: You. Creating structures in the Liminal space can be as simple as just thinking it and then it's there. You will know you made it to the Liminal space when you see basically nothing around you, you seem to be lit from an unknown source, or the space you find yourself in is lit from an unseen source (or above, depending on how you conceptualize it). You will be able to easily look down at yourself and see your arms, torso, and legs however you decide to appear (similar to the astral) but it's definitely more empty than the astral. Nothing can get in to harm you in the liminal space. If you are questioning whether something is of your own making or not, will it to disappear or change, if it doesn't, refocus, recenter, and try again. You may not be all the way in the liminal space but hanging just adjacent to it, half in, half out - if that makes sense.

All About: House Spirits

Well, it's about time I brought them up once again, in their own post. This guide may be on the lengthy side, but it's here to explain what they are and how to begin working with them.

What the hell is a house spirit?

House spirits come from all different cultures and folklore. Known as, you guessed it, guardians of the home. They protect the house itself, the land around it (they get along with the land spirit(s) most of the time), and they also protect the family if treated right. A home certainly doesn't feel like one without these presiding spirits helping. In fact it gives the home a life of it's own.

What do they look like? Are there types?

Across many cultures, there are these spirits and the folklore varies for each. In my tribe, we consider them to usually be little dwarves or goblins that must be appeased, otherwise they will cause bad luck or even resort to curses. Regular offerings are required. Then there are the land spirits, which is a whole other topic. If given regular offerings and respect, we believe that they will not only generate good luck and events for us, but protect us and help with our daily lives. For the witches of the tribe, they will often assist in rituals and spells. That all being said, this has carried over into my personal beliefs. Many cultures describe house spirits assisting with the same things and if they are displeased, bad occurrences following. As far as looks go, it depends on the folklore surrounding your area and your cultural background(s). You may believe in one or two types or an entire spectrum of house spirits from the realm of the fair folk. You could have one house spirit or twelve. It's entirely up to your home. In some cultures, there are door spirits (yes, that guard the doors) and ones that work in the kitchen, among others for different functions of the home.

Okay so, I live in an apartment building. Can I still work with them?

Yes. When I used to live in apartments, I found it was an either/or situation regarding how many were there. Some buildings have only a few that roam around, sometimes only one that protects the entire building, or there may be multiple hanging out in one apartment. Most complexes have multiple however. And then for the lucky buildings that have one for each apartment...those are nice. I've included a short offering ritual at the end of this post, which you can use to ask questions about whatever you wish to know, including how many there are in the building.

What kind of offerings do they like?

Milk, honey, bread, and herbs are a safe bet. They especially like bread baked by you, as they see it as a labor of love and that your energy is in there. Taking time to tend to the garden and taking care of your property & home in general are things they like to see. Don't leave the house a huge mess, as many prefer a tidy atmosphere. Not an offering per say, but important to mention nonetheless.

What should I put on their altar?

I keep my altar for them in the kitchen, as it is in a place that is undisturbed and can't be torn up by my land shark (aka, my dog). I also feel that most of the house spirits I have worked with in my life enjoy hanging out in this area of the home. They seem to like assisting in kitchen magic and cooking in general and the warmth of the stove. You may also want to include a small area near the front door if you believe that there are separate spirits for there. I'd recommend a shelf, as it won't take up as much space in the entryway.

Okay, back on track. Plants (if the space gets enough light), a cauldron, candles, offering bowls, a chalice, glass, or mug of some sort. A special spoon to stir the drinks or potions with. Decorative pieces from nature. Things you craft by hand.

How can I begin working with them?

Anytime, in reality. However, you do have to develop an actual relationship with them. This can take time and the more you speak to them, give offerings, and invite them in as you cook or clean, the more they will be willing to help with your spellwork, wards, and healing. Try the introduction ritual I've included. See what happens. Document it. Try again another time the following week. And just...keep going. Make sure that they know you haven't forgotten about them by leaving a small nightly glass of milk out before you head to bed. It doesn't have to be filled to the rim (hey, cost of living is ridiculous right now). It can be a splash with a squirt of honey added. Or a sprinkle of herbs on their bowl. Or maybe a small helping of what you whipped up for dinner. Point is to show them that you acknowledge and respect their presence. That will be the biggest component. Do the ritual once a week until you start seeing signs of contact. Once you do, make your own ritual with them. Incorporate them into your daily life. Ask them to help with blessing your cooking. Ask them to make sure your wards are in tact. Ask the door spirit to purify the energy of anyone that walks in & make bad people resist coming by. Start seeing if they'd like to sit in on a ritual, if you feel comfortable with that idea. Ask for a blessing when you clean the house & to assist you in removing all the bad energy.

Brief introductory ritual

To introduce yourself to your house spirits, I recommend sitting in your kitchen. If you consider your hearth to be the living room, you can choose to do it there. Make sure to bring offerings with that you feel will be applicable. Freshly baked bread (from your own hands) and some milk with honey stirred in would make a wonderful first treat. I usually introduce myself in a new home by bringing these treats to the location of choice, and start by speaking my intention aloud which goes something like:

"Spirits of the home,

Guardians and Protectors of this dwelling,

Please come sit with me and enjoy these offerings.

I wish to have a working relationship where we can honor, respect, and help each other."

I usually spend about ten-twenty minutes meditating after this is spoken aloud. Sometimes you will feel a strong presence. This is the time I take to set up my kitchen altar as well. If there is a place that I am able to create a mini-altar by the front door, I do so there for the door spirits. The land spirits get their own little thing out in the backyard. I've found in the many places I've lived, they almost always work together and some house spirits spend quite some time out there too!

From here on out, you'll develop your relationship with regular offerings and take it from there!

RETURN TO SENDER SPELLS

Return to Sender (RTS) spells are a great way to send back any negativity sent towards you, whether this be a hex, a curse, the evil eye, or just someone sending general bad vibes your way. You don't have to put up with that. Send it right back to them. I do not follow any wiccan redes, nor do I believe in the rule of three because it does not apply to me or my practice. If you are justified in your actions, hex them. If they sent you nasty shit, send that shit right back where it came from. It's like Mike Wazowski from Monsters Inc.

Send that shit right back!

I'm going to give you a couple RTS spells to try out, They all send shit back but it's your preference.

Return To Sender #1

1 black candle 1 white candle protection sigil cinnamon garlic juniper black salt cayenne pepper

carve "return to sender" into the black candle and dress with juniper, black salt, cayenne pepper

carve protection sigil into white candle (or put candle on top of sigil on paper) and dress with cinnamon and garlic.

light both and say "as this flame burns bright, so does my protection grow stronger. as this candle burns down, this energy will return to it's sender ten fold.

(any substitutes that may be needed for juniper or black salt or whatnot, just use herbs or spices that correspond to banishing.

Reflect a Hex

(Return to sender #2)

1 Protection candle 1 black candle paper and pen black salt small mirror

write target's name/birthday on paper and fold away from you.

Place black salt on mirror, covering it completely

scrape some away in the middle so the paper can stand up in a '/' shape

Light black candle (off to side) and say: "I reflect this spell back to you, enemy estranged. All harm and ill intent is yours to obtain. so mote it be"

How do I prevent this shit in the first place?

Make baneful wards. Create wards and protections that send back all negativity that is "not of your highest good" so that maybe anything you view as troublesome can get in BUT it will be for character development and growth. Any negativity sent for no damn reason except to be shitty will be sent back.

Hell, make your ward catch their bullshit, charge it up for a while, and send it back 10 times stronger. Make them regret it.

Baneful Wards that Bite Back

(please, for the love of fuck, do this outside)

. personal item or taglock of the person bothering you . florida water (to ignite, literally, this spell will literally go up in flames. Also for protection and warding) . dragons blood (banishing negativity) . defensive sigil (or protection sigil) . 3 juniper berries (for returning negativity back to sender) . rosemary (protection) . vervain (protection from harm)

Crush taglock and mix with florida water, rosemary, vervain, and dragons blood.

form mixture into your defensive sigil

pop the juniper berries in the middle

set it on fire and let it burn itself out.

bury remains.

How To Sense Your Own Energy

Energy Work 101: Sensing Energy

When first trying to sense energy, it's suggested you try on crystals and objects first. The first step to learning to sense crystal energy is to discover which is your sending hand and which is your receiving. Although some ambidextrous people can sense energy equally in both hands, most people find they have one hand in which they feel energy more strongly. Typically, your receiving hand is your nondominant hand and it draws in universal energy. Your sending hand is your dominant hand (the hand with which you write) and moves energy out of the body and back out to the universe after the receiving hand has drawn it in. The process of sending and receiving energy is constant, but you can also consciously direct the energy flow, during healing and meditation, for example.

SENSING YOUR OWN ENERGY FIELD: A simple way to become familiar with energy is to learn to sense your own. Start by rubbing the palms of your hands together to activate the tiny energy centers located here. Then draw your hands apart and slowly move them together, palms facing one another until you feel the quality of the energy shift or change. Continue moving your hands together and apart to become familiar with the feeling of your energy.

Don't get caught up on if you can or cannot feel it right away. Use visualization if it helps you. You aren't imagining it and you're doing great. Take a minute to just play with the energy. Make it grow larger, make it tiny. Envision it turning into different elements, different shapes, moving around away from your hands using your will and intent to guide it. Play with it, see or sense it in your mind's eye, and roll with it. It may seem silly at first, but I promise it works.

For some, sensing energy is difficult, it may come more naturally to others but don't get discouraged. Keep practicing.

SENSING DEITY AND SPIRIT ENERGY: One great way to get a feel for the energy of your spirits or deities is going to be to have them come to you and put their energy on your back or hands or whatever you feel is right for you. What does the energy feel like? Do you get any images from it? What color do they feel like? Hot or cold? What makes their energy different from others? In my practice, Bast feels like red velvet. Hades feels cold but fatherly. Rhiannon feels like the color yellow and pale flowers, Medusa feels like staring up at the sun through a lemon tree. See how the energy of the deities feels to you. It may be different for everyone.

Sneaky Witchcraft!

Using songs as spells. (Singing it for extra charge)

Intention behind simple tasks (chapstick blessing to keep the lips soft and the words persuasive, lotion to keep the skin smooth and repel buggies etc)

Booping a child's nose and using that intention to dispel fear and/or bless the child in question. (Now a favorite past time for my itty bitty nephew.)

Blasting music to break up icky vibes throughout the house

Diffuser or incense certain scents work as offerings, cleansing, or just good way to bring luck into the home.

My Oreo Nutella Brownie Recipe

Ingredients

350g Nutella

2 Large Eggs

62g Flour

Oreos (as desired, I usually use around 14)

1/2tbs Cocoa Powder

1/2tsp Espresso Powder

1/4tsp Salt

Procedure

Melt 350g of Nutella into a medium size mixing bowl. The thickness should be runny. 

Next add your eggs and flour into the same bowl as the Nutella. Mix thoroughly.

Now add espresso powder, salt, and cocoa powder. Mix until incorporated. If batter is too thick add a splash of milk. 

Separate Oreos from their icing centers. Set the icing centers aside for later.

Pour into 8x8 inch pan. Preheat oven to 350°F.

Bake in oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until you can stick a toothpick into the center and it comes back clean.

Melt icing centers from earlier in a small bowl.

Let cool in pan and drizzle melted icing centers on top. You can also add any left over Oreo crumbs on top if you like.

Cut and Enjoy!

Tea Spell of Acception

What will be will be,   and I will accept what won’t,   if it can be changed,   I will choose the option that speaks to me most,   if I don’t know the answer,   I will learn to reach out to a friend,   and if I don’t know what’s next,   that’s fine, I will find out in the end

☽✩☾

Teas that Work Well With This Spell

✩ Black: for blocking negativity and bringing in positive energy ✩ Chamomile: for healing ✩ Elderflower: for bringing in blessings and healing ✩ Fennel: for healing, protection, and purification ✩ Green: for cleansing, bringing in positive energy, and healing ✩ Lemon Balm: for self love and success ✩ Matcha: for detoxification of negative energy ✩ Nettle: for protection and repelling negative energy ✩ Peppermint: for clarity ✩ White: for anti-anxiety and purification

Prepare your tea according to the steep time of the tea you decide to use.

Stir in honey to sweeten a situation and stir clockwise to bring in positive thoughts and acceptance. While stirring repeat the spell either out loud or even inside your head if you cannot say it out loud.

Enjoy your tea and accept the positive feelings you gain from it and the positive thoughts and experiences you will gain throughout the day.

This tea spell can also be done at the end of the day to accept what has occurred throughout the day. Simply spend the time while drinking it to consider what has occurred and think about what you appreciate has happened to you today. If even one thing has occurred that you appreciate and can accept then some good has come to you.

Pick and appropriate method of cleansing

Hold your intention while cleansing. Stay focused and grounded

Follow up by filling the cleansed space with positive energy to avoid negative energies from coming back in

When to Cleanse

When you get a new tool

When a tool/room feels stale or off

When your tools or space come into contact with negative energy

Whenever your intuition tells you its time

Common Methods

Use the Elements Cleanse a room with water, fire, earth, or air. Soak or sprinkle with water, pass through flame or smoke, sprinkle or bury in dirt

Smoke Cleansing Use the smoke of herbs and plants to cleanse a space, item, or person. Pick herbs that correspond to your needs, light a bundle, and lead the smoke

Salt Salt will soak up all negative energies

Sun & Moonlight Let your item cleanse in the sunlight or moonlight, or open your windows to cleanse a space

Crystals Use corresponding crystals to cleanse a space or item. Carry them around to cleanse your spirit

Charging

How to Charge

Pick your target. Anything you want to fill with energy

Choose a method of charging that is appropriate for your item

Hold your intention while charging. Stay focused on transferring energy to the target item

Listen to your intuition. You’ll know when an item has been charged

When to Charge

After you cleanse a tool/item

When an item/tool doesn’t feel as potent or feels weak

When energy becomes stagnant

When you want an item to hold a certain intention/purpose

Charging Methods

Sun & Moonlight Set an object in the sun or moonlight to let it soak up that energy

Crystals Crystals that have been charged and cleansed can be used to charge other items

Elements Use the power of the elements to charge items metaphorically or literally

Visualization Picture your energy and intention flowing into your item and filling it with power

Herbs Charge an item with corresponding herbs by passing them through herb smoke, anointing with herbal oils, etc

Sound Use singing bowls, bells, or corresponding music to fill an item or space with energy

Banishing & Warding

What’s the Difference?

Warding is… a gentler form of defensive magic. It’s used in a general sense. Warding is used to protect and guard from negative energies. It is used to redirect energy away from you or your space.

Banishing is… far more specific and direct. It’s used to get rid of a particular energy, spirit, or person. Banishing is a very strong form of defensive magic.

Warding Methods

Guardians Create a guardian to guard your home or space from negative energies. Use a small object, enchant it with your intention, and keep it in a safe, permanent place.

Crystals Corresponding crystals can be worn as jewelry to protect against negative energy. Placing crystals in a room or around your house will create a protective barrier.

Salt Sprinkle salt around your doors and windows or make protection jars.

Herbs Burn protective herbs and pass the smoke through your space or tools or sprinkle herbal oils and tinctures on yourself and your space for protective barriers.

Visualization Use your intention and energy to visualize a powerful barrier of protecting light around yourself or your space.

Banishing Methods

Use the Elements Burn a slip of paper with your target's name on it. Throw a leaf with your target’s name on it into a running river. Burn corresponding herbs and pass the smoke through your space.

Candles Anoint your candles with corresponding herbs and oils, then burn it. When the candle has burned out, the banishing is complete

Sigils Make your own banishing sigil or find one that resonates with you. Place it in the space or on the item you are banishing energy from.

Herbs & Tinctures Use herbal smoke to force energy out of a space or object. Make a spray or herbal tincture to sprinkle around your home.
