Protective witchcraft

Witchcraft can be a powerful tool for protection, but it is important to approach it with respect and caution. Here are some tips for using witchcraft to protect yourself:

Set intentions: Before you begin any ritual or spell, it is important to set clear intentions for what you want to achieve. Visualize yourself surrounded by a protective energy that keeps you safe and secure.

Use protective symbols: There are many symbols that are commonly used for protection in witchcraft, such as the pentacle, the evil eye, and the hamsa. You can wear these symbols as jewelry or draw them on talismans to carry with you.

Use herbs & crystals: There are many herbs and crystals that are believed to have protective properties in witchcraft. Some popular options include black pepper, rosemary, black tourmaline, and amethyst. You can use these herbs and crystals in spells or carry them with you in a sachet or pouch.

Create a protective charm: You can create a protective charm by combining herbs, crystals, and other materials in a small pouch or container. This charm can be carried with you or placed in your home to provide ongoing protection.

Use visualization: Visualization is a powerful tool in witchcraft. Visualize a protective bubble of energy surrounding you, or imagine yourself surrounded by a circle of protective light.

Call on deities or spirits: If you work with deities or spirits in your witchcraft practice, you can call on them for protection. Some popular options include Hecate, Artemis, and Archangel Michael.

Cast a protection spell: You can cast a spell to protect yourself from harm. This can involve creating a protective circle, calling on the elements, and using candles, herbs, and other tools to set your intention and create a protective energy.

Create a protective sigil: A sigil is a symbol that is created to represent a specific intention or desire. You can create a sigil for protection by writing out your intention and then using the letters to create a unique symbol. This symbol can then be charged with energy and used for protection.

Use divination: Divination can be a helpful tool for identifying potential sources of harm or danger. You can use tarot cards, runes, or other divination tools to gain insight into potential threats and take steps to protect yourself.

Practice grounding & centering: Grounding and centering can help you stay grounded and focused, even in stressful or dangerous situations. This involves connecting with the earth and your own inner strength to create a sense of stability and protection.

Remember that protection is not a one-time event, but an ongoing practice. Incorporate these tips into your daily witchcraft practice to create a strong and lasting protective energy around yourself.

baneful practitioners!! drop your favorite baneful herbs and any tips you’d like to share. i need to curse two of my ex roommates :)

[mairimccarter]

It doesn't matter how much I wait. Every time I do a tarot reading to see if I can curse a person who has fucked me up, and more people, I'm told over and over again I will pay for it if I do it. Why can't she pay for all the hurt she's been doing for more than 10 years? I'm fed up with this bullshit and that motherfucker.

[vulpine111]

I kinda want to do a "hex" (using that term very lightly) just to return my pain to a person or maybe a handful of people who don't want me to thrive in life. I was thinking something involving hyena teeth, coffin nails, piss, vinegar, various herbs, etc. Still thinking on it, tbh!

I have a little jar I could use, but idk what to do after. Put it in one of the little toy coffins I ordered, then bury it somewhere with the poppets I've been slowly working on? Then dump something like alcohol over it? Hmm. I'll pray with my guides more. I don't want my darkness to consume me, so ultimately my goal would be catharsis and release. I'm not lusting for a specific type of harm to come to anyone. I just want to do this to handle my own hurt/rage. ;)

I'm tired of my own inherent worth as an individual not being recognized or respected. Giving respect didn't work, either. It just made things worse. I'm tired of groveling to be heard.

[esoteric-chaos]

Kind of a PSA moving forward for my blog. I want to be clear this is an opinion I’m holding for myself. It is not my responsibility for what other creators are doing.

All of my personal curses have been removed as I’ve stopped offering baneful spells here on my blog. I also will not be offering how to’s for it. I will absolutely make an educational post on baneful magic regarding correspondences and general education.

As someone who is educating on my blog I believe offering spells to those who are not properly prepared to deal with the consequences of such spells potentially backfiring or using them in the wrong situations is irresponsible.

People who don’t have the right protections up, who aren’t prepared, who are possibly doing it for the wrong reasons. I personally do not want to be held liable in somebodies eyes for their misuse of magic.

Again this is a personal rule for myself. You can do whatever you want with your blog, it’s none of my business.

Music Magick

Music has long been recognized as a powerful tool for evoking emotions, altering consciousness, and connecting with the divine. In the realm of witchcraft, music can be used to enhance rituals, set intentions, and amplify energy. Here are some ways to incorporate music into your magickal practice:

• Listening to specific songs to help you get in the right mood and mindset for the spell/ritual you're going to perform.

• Creating/charging sigils.

• Magickal choreography (casting spells by dancing).

• Use music to guide a meditation, or meditate on the song itself, its meaning, and what emotion it represents.

• Using beats/rhythms to induce a trance state.

• Sing your incantations.

• Keep music on in the background while doing your craft or studying magick to raise your vibration and improve your results.

• Audiomancy; divination through music (ie: specific lyrics or songs playing at synchronistic times).

• Create playlists for/with the deities and spirits you work with. This can be used as both an offering and an invocation.

• Listen to angry music while doing baneful magick to amplify your rage.

Magical Oil Recipes - Baneful Blends Edition

For anyone looking to brew up a potion with a less-than-friendly bent, here are some recipes I've created that you might find useful.

To prepare them, blend the ingredients in such proportions as feels correct for your purposes (or as supplies allow). Use dried material except where indicated. Place a few spoonfuls in a mason jar with a screwtop lid and fill the jar with a bland oil of your choice. (Vegetable oil of the sort you would buy for cooking works fine.) Screw the lid on tightly and shake well to combine, then leave the jar in a dark dry place for 2-4 weeks to steep.

Once steeped, prepare a clean storage bottle (also with a secure lid) and label with the type of oil and the bottling date. Strain the oil through paper towels or cheesecloth to remove the plant material, then bottle immediately. Store away from sunlight and heat for up to one year. Use for spellwork as you see fit.

(Please note that NONE of these potions are meant to be taken internally by any means. Observe all proper safety measures related to glass, fire, and potentially harmful plants as necessary during preparation.)

Folk witch tip #2

Someone did you dirty but you don’t want to get down into the nitty-gritty? Instead of hexing or cursing, bless them.

Bless them to learn their lesson sooner rather than later. Trust me, life lessons hurt.

Ooooor, you can bless the people around them to see their true nature.

You’ll make them pay for sure ✨

Hi! Absolutely love ur blog❤️ I dont think ive seen or maybe missed a post about shattered glass or ceramic shards. Is there something you can do with it or is it best to just discard them?

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! That means the world to me 💗 Im so happy you asked this question as i haven’t really touched on it much on my blog!

--------

Glass & ceramic shards magical uses

The use of glass shards and ceramic shards in witchcraft and magic can vary depending on the specific tradition, intention, and personal creativity of the practitioner.

Here are a few general ways these materials can be incorporated:

Protection & Warding: Glass shards and ceramic shards can be used in protective spells and rituals. They can be placed around the perimeter of a space or buried at specific points to create a protective boundary. These shards can act as energetic barriers or traps for negative energies or entities.

Spell Jars & Bottles: Shards of glass or ceramic can be added to spell jars or bottles as protective elements or to enhance the energy of the spell. They can represent barriers, reflect negativity, or provide grounding and stability.

Divination Tools: Shards of glass or ceramic can be used as scrying tools in divination practices. They can be placed in a shallow dish or bowl of water and used for gazing or interpreting the patterns and reflections that appear.

Symbolic Representation: Shards of glass or ceramic can represent brokenness or transformation. They can be used in rituals or spells that focus on releasing or breaking negative patterns, letting go of the past, or invoking healing and transformation.

Ritual Crafting: Shards of glass or ceramic can be used in crafting talismans, amulets, or jewelry. They can be incorporated into charms or pendants to harness specific energies or intentions. The shards can be combined with other materials and symbols to create personalized magical tools.

Energy Amplification: Glass and ceramic have reflective properties, and broken shards can be used to amplify or redirect energy. They can be placed on altars or in spellwork to enhance the energy flow or focus intentions.

Remember, when working with glass shards or ceramic shards, it's important to handle them with care and take necessary precautions to avoid injury.

Additionally, always use your own judgment and intuition when incorporating any objects into your magical practice, as personal intent and belief play a significant role in the effectiveness of magical workings.

y’all remember my ex roommate and also ex best friend of 4 years? the one that i cursed because they’re a horrible fucking person? yeah well their cat that they let wander around the city of richmond, virginia with NO COLLAR and NO MICROCHIP has been missing since yesterday and they’re on a cruise at the moment so 🫣🫣

i’m not saying my shit worked but my shit kinda worked idkkkkkk not too bad for my first actually baneful working.

i feel bad for the cat but she probably just got picked up by some random person who saw a collarless cat wandering around and thought it was a stray.

[occultismtomorrow]

For every disrespectful Christian who comments "God Loves you" and the Lords Prayer in the comments of a Pagan/Satanist/Literally anyone's comments, there needs to be an equal reaction of "The Gods love you" and "Satan loves you," to make the Christians think about why that would bother them when they do the same thing.

War Water

War Water (also called Iron Water) is a powerful tool in witchcraft used for protection, hexing, banishing, and warding off enemies. It originates from Hoodoo, Appalachian folk magic, and other mystical traditions.

Uses of War Water:

• Protection – Sprinkle around your home to create a spiritual barrier.

• Banishing – Throw it where unwanted people have walked to remove their influence.

• Cursing – Toss onto an enemy’s property to bring discord and bad luck.

• Warding Off Negativity – Add to floor washes or sprinkle near entrances.

• In Spellwork - Use in rituals for breaking curses, creating wards, or calling upon warrior spirits.

Needed:

• Rusty nails (or iron shavings or railroad spikes)

• Water (preferably storm or river water for extra potency)

• Salt (black salt for cursing, sea salt for protection)

• Cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes (for aggression and strength)

• Vinegar – Used to sour relationships in cursing spells.

• Mugwort or Rue – For added spiritual power.

Instructions:

Place the rusty nails or iron in a jar. If your nails aren’t rusty, leave them in water for a few weeks to oxidize. Fill the jar with water. Use stormwater for aggressive energy, river water for powerful flow, or tap water if necessary. Add salt and herbs and let it sit for at least a week. The longer it sits, the stronger it becomes. Some witches let it develop for months. Shake or stir when using, the rust, herbs, and salt should be well mixed before application.

How to set a curse upon anyone

It's no secret that I'm a baneful witch. I don't hide from the fact that I don't fear consequences for my spells and neither do the people I set forth my wrath had tried to retaliate. I'm not here to judge anyone for wanting to set forth harm unto those that wronged them, I am merely here to teach you how to do it properly.

So here it goes:

Like any good spell there are components to making an effective curse. First, it's the intention. No good spell is complete without the intention in mind. All spells, remember, start off with the mind. So imagine the curse' affliction on the target. Imagine the curse making your tormentors suffer all the pain they've put on you.

Visualize their pain, fear, and suffering and relish in it. If you can't relish it then that's when you cut it out because this act is not for you. Putting curses on people is not for the faint of heart. If you can't find peace in their pain then focus on healing yourself instead. It's the only thing you can do at that point.

Second, a good spell needs a power source. This can be through the gods you worship, your soul, the energy in the atmosphere or objects and herbs you have around your house. You can pray to gods and goddesses of wrathful demeanor to carry out the curse for you. Or you can feel then bend the energy in the atmosphere then visualize it hitting or stabbing your target. Or you can burn or charge the object or herb of your liking and let the curse manifest.

And lastly, emotions. Or lack there of. This one will entirely depend on your own disposition to your emotions. Raw anger, resentment, deep sadness, or a pit of darkness deep in your stomach are all valid emotions that will tether your curse in reality.

If you do the curse right then you should see results in the near future.

That's it. Keep your head high, you'll get your revenge soon enough.
