Transmute Gossip Into Abundance 🔆🧘🏼‍♀️

This is a great way to turn negative thoughts and words about you into something positive for you. Take the negative energy they’re sending you and transmute it into luck, power, and abundance!

It’s also a binding spell for victims of jealousy and resentment, when others speak or think negatively about them. But instead of simply deflecting it, we are using the negativity and using it to our advantage.

Zagan, the Great King and President of Hell, is known for His ability to transform substances. A sort of infernal alchemist, He can turn wine into water, blood into wine, and make fools wise. This transformative power is not only physical but metaphysical. Zagan has the ability to facilitate inner transformations, inciting change in perspective, attitude, and personal understanding. He’s perfect for transmuting energy.

Offerings for Zagan

Write out the gossip on one side (you can just put “gossip,” or “all negativity and ill intent”) on a piece of paper, and write what you wish to transmute the negative energy into on the other side (e.g. luck, prosperity, power).

hey..

at what point do collectors opt to turn things from puppets to scrolls? I feel like turning an entire living creature into [a piece of paper] is very complicated, while turning them into simple puppets is easier because they keep all the same parts, just simplified and wood?

It is! It depends on the person's proficiency and understanding of the mechanism regarding when and how they change the creature. Once someone gets good at it, the creature can be transformed into a lifeless object without it dying in the process, and they will move on to more complex and efficient ways.

The way I see it, archiving is a form of information compression and storage—and there is A LOT of information. When looking at Earth creatures we have everything from single-cell bacteria to whales that range up to 100 quadrillion cells, all with different sizes. The smallest single-cell critter is 0.3 μm, while the largest single cell is an ostrich egg that can get to 18 cm. So it's not just noting "a cell"—there's also a lot of information about the cell content, size, the DNA, current water, and oxygen levels, what protein it contains and how much. Then there are spatial dimensions. (While we can consider there being more, especially in fiction, I’m sticking to three; trying to visualize four fills me with frustration and existential dread xD) Every cell has its place in space in relation to the others, and all the contents' relations are also important. If, suddenly, all histones materialize inside a mitochondria instead of the nucleus, we can have a problem. Additionally, physical and chemical processes gotta be considered. There's electricity powering our brains, hearts, running nerves, air in airways traveling to lungs, chemical signals traveling between synapses that also need to be accounted for. So, you have all the contents in space, their vectors, and building blocks. Thats a ton to save. This information has to be compressed to be preserved in an organized manner while also remaining lossless so that when returned to its original shape, it's as it was. Not even mentioning that in intelligent beings, there are also minds to take care of. Jellyfish might be fine after 100 years in a static void, but a human? Yhhhhh.

I think the mechanism would work by saving information in intangible magic and assigning it to a physical medium—be it a statue, doll, book, or scroll. If it is physical and can carry information, it can be used. We can argue the mind is part of the soul, or it is a biochemical process, but the fact is nobody really knows for sure what it is and Im not a theolog, so for the sake of this universe, I'll say it's something that occupies the same space magic does and is influenced by chemical processes, meeeeaning it can also be tricked by them. And the magic.

The first degree of preservation would be spells that only change the material but keep all shapes and info in place. This wouldn't require much thought while executing and could be "automated" or worse, taught to mortals (if they have enough magic to power the spell), like petrification or changing someone into wood, metal, or any other solid material. It's not perfect, if the structure is damaged, the spatial information is damaged too. Breaking is one thing, but imagine if the statue melts.

The next step would be assigning objects with some compression and change, like toys and dolls. I feel like there would need to be a system like a content library, so not every single atom is saved each time, but chemical structures like nucleotides in DNA (the ATGC thingies) would just have a shortcut. Larger repeating patterns could also be assigned their own id to save data, and it would slowly stack up. While things are written in intangible magic form and anchored to the medium, the medium can be somewhat customized, like the decorations the Collector added to the dolls. The mind, running in controlled magic, can also be affected, as we saw with Collie trying to scare them and Luz’s dream. On the spell keeping the preserved critter stable has a link to what shortcut it uses so with countless diffrent worlds and structres it wouldnt mix up.

Then we go further into compression, reducing size and dimensions until we reach a point where one axis is almost entirely removed, and we end up with a scroll. Then there are other things—creatures saved as amber miniatures, snow globes, scrolls, or drawings, sometimes purely to annoy the sibling that has to deal with the creature in unhandy form. A more permanent binding would be in a book that can contain a bunch of different animals. Rebinding for long-term preservation is the Curator’s job.

Looking at Earth creatures, eucariotic life shares ancestry with some ancient bacteria that decided to rebel and started to cooperate, so we share similarities even with distant organisms in some strutures since they come from each other. So when it comes to preserving whole populations with relations, the library of compression doesn’t have to be separate for every single animal or plant. For each section of the archive, there would be a common library of building blocks, and scrolls being somewhat separate carrying the exact instructions for body arrangement and the soul/mind/the part that makes them alive attached.

Next is unpacking the information. I think this requires the ability to interpret and recreate what was saved that mortals lack. While they couldn't really unpetrify others, a collector could (assuming the mind hadn’t deteriorated into a husk). In the case of an automated spell, I think it would result in a very lossy transmutation—like a jpg losing pixels, the creature might lose like heart funtion. The Collector's spell also looked temporary or incomplete since an influx of other types of magic (like in Amity or Raine’s case) was able to push back on it. That might also be why they were conscious in the form they were in. Not meant for long just enough to take them to archive in normal conditions. When a creature is heavily compressed, it needs external force to rebuild, as it's essentially written fully in magic. That’s what I think happened to the Owl Beast. Lilith released it from the medium, but since it wasn’t fully rebuilt, it being a magic form attached itself to a magic source.

SO YEAH, its a process that takes quite a while for them to master and it comes with experience. But when experience is based on life it often makes it hard to practice so those with less empathetic approach master it faster. Thanks for the ask! I was dying to talk about that for such a long time and that was a perfect thing to organise thoughts

Transmutation Warding: Feeding Off The Haters

• Welcome Back, Seekers! Within my local coven, we’ve turned our focus to warding and protection magick as we prepare for the year ahead. I adore transmutation magick for warding! It’s one of my favorite ways to craft shields for myself, my work, my growth, and my success. Instead of constantly bracing for every hex, evil eye, or ill wish, this approach flips the narrative. Transmutation wards work proactively, taking any negativity sent your way and alchemizing it into fuel for your growth and power. Why waste energy defending against haters or uncovering their identities when you can let their spite feed your fire? Let them send their malice—it’ll only make you more powerful.

As always, take what resonates with your spirit and weave it into your own unique magick! My spells and workings are here to spark your creativity and inspire your craft. ✨

--------

Tools & Ingredients:

1 black candle (to absorb negativity)

1 purple candle (for transmutation and spiritual power)

Thread or Cord (any color)

A mirror (to summon your Fetch Spirit or reflect your essence)

1 clear quartz crystal or any charm you’re called to that can be left on your altar or within your space -  As a subtle sentinel of the ward’s power, clear quartz is a cherished ally in magick. Its ability to be easily programmed makes it a perfect vessel for your intention, while its amplifying nature ensures the energy of your working radiates far and wide. To the untrained eye, it appears as nothing more than a beautiful crystal resting upon your altar or within your sacred space—a discreet guardian cloaked in plain sight, silently weaving its protective spell.

Optional: Chalk or something to draw a circle (for creating a sacred boundary to hold the enchantment of your crystal or charm. If chalk is unavailable, let your finger become the wand. You can also use salt or any symbols you would like to use to draw out a circle.

--------

Preparation:

Cleanse your workspace and tools with smoke, salt water, or another method of your choosing.

Candle preparation, take your black candle and anoint it with a neutral oil, something simple like canola oil—or any oil you feel connected to for protection. Once it’s dressed in oil, sprinkle it with herbs known for protection, such as basil, bay, black pepper, cinnamon, or clove—or any protection herbs that resonate with your magick. For the purple candle, I like to use a neutral oil as well, then dress it with herbs that are perfect for transmutation, like lady’s mantle and yucca. Along with those, I often add a pinch of herbs that represent success and abundance—and don’t forget to include a bit of your hair, fingernail clippings, or something from your person to taglock the magick, connecting the work directly to your energy. Then bind the candles together with some thread or cord.

Binding the Candles:

Take the black and purple candles and begin winding the thread around them, chanting this, or create your own:

"I bind these flames, black and purple entwined,

Protection and transmutation, powers combined.

Through thread and flame, my will takes hold,

To guard my essence, fierce and bold."

You don't have to go all out like I did with those massive candles. Honestly, a couple of chime candles will do the trick if you're short on time.

3. Place your mirror above the center of your altar or working space, positioning it to reflect either yourself or the flickering flames of your candles (refer to the caption below the next picture for more context). Let it serve as a portal, amplifying the energy of your work. Arrange your candles in a fire-safe dish at the center—I often favor a trusty aluminum pie pan for this purpose.

4. Hold your crystal or charm in your hands, letting your energy flow into it. Visualize your purpose, your will, and your desire imprinting itself upon the object. Once your intention feels vibrant and alive within the crystal or charm, move it in a clockwise circle around the candles, envisioning it connecting to the fiery energy of your working—like a thread weaving them together.

5. When the circuit feels complete, place the charged crystal or charm before the candles. Now, cast a circle around the entire space, sealing in the energy. You can do this energetically, feeling the boundary forming with your will, or use chalk, salt, or symbols drawn ahead of time to anchor the space. This sacred boundary holds the power of your work, ensuring that your charm becomes fully and beautifully enchanted. And now, it's time to spark the flame on them candles.

I used a selenite tower in this picture as a stand-in to show where your crystal or charm should be placed. This isn’t the actual charm I used, but it gives you an idea of the setup. You’ll also notice my altar mirror hanging just above the space, perfectly positioned for the energy work. If hanging a mirror isn’t an option for you, no worries—simply place one in front of your working area instead. The reflection is what matters most!

--------

Casting The Ward:

Lighting the Candles:

With the bound candles before the mirror. Light them, starting with the black candle, then the purple, and then chant this, or create your own:

"Black flame of shadow, guard and protect,

Purple flame of spirit, energy redirect.

Before this mirror, realms align,

My (Fetch Spirit/Reflection) carries this spell through time."

Incantation of The Ward:

Face the mirror and focus on your reflection, summoning your Fetch Spirit or the reflection of your empowered self. Chant this incantation, or create your own:

"Anyone who cannot honor my essence,

Respect my growth, or stand in my presence,

Be it through disdain, envy, or intent,

Their fate is sealed, their malice spent.

Their energy flows to me, transformed,

Into strength, abundance, success reborn.

As I feed upon their misguided spite,

They are drained by their own blight.

Across all realms, my shield is spun,

Now and forever, this spell is done."

Seal the Energy:

Visualize the mirror reflecting the power of your spell into the cosmos, spreading the ward across all realms. Allow the candles to burn fully if possible, or snuff them out respectfully.

I love this picture! The flames intertwine perfectly, mirroring the energy I was aiming for in this ward of protective transmutation.

--------

Aftercare:

Charging your crystal or charm: Leave your charm on your altar or in your space as a representation of the ward. Each full moon, place it under the moonlight to recharge its energy, visualizing the ward growing stronger with every cycle.

Mirror Care: Cleanse the mirror after the spellwork with smoke or moon water to ensure it remains a neutral tool for future workings.

Final Words:

Maintain your crystal or charm as a talisman of your protective transmutation ward and remember that this ward will work continuously as long as you charge it and feed it with belief and intention.

Stay Wild, Stay Magickal, & Keep Seeking, Seekers!

Magic = science

Alchemy = magic = science = It was, in its deepest sense, the transmutation and transformation of substances.

The mystical ideas of alchemy compared the material transmutation to that of the human spirit and the knowledge of god.

Because you were attempting (chemistry) finding out elements and mixing them together to create something else.

Magick - alchemy - chemistry - other sciences

Alchemy and magick are related in a number of ways, including:

1. Medieval scrolls - Some medieval scrolls combine alchemy, medicine, and magic, including spells, recipes, and alchemical processes

2. The philosopher's stone - This mythic substance was believed to be able to turn base metals into gold or silver, and to create an elixir of life.

3. The relationship between the physical and the unseen - Alchemy and astrology are both concerned with relating the physical world to the greater universe. In alchemy, transmutations of elements were believed to correspond to transmutations of the spirit

4. Alchemy was considered a science in the medieval period, and was a precursor to chemistry. Pope John XXII banned alchemy in 1317, making it illegal in Christian and Western countries.

The Emerald Tablet 

Tis true without lying

certain and most true.

That which is below

is like that which is above

and that which is above

Is like that which is below

to do the miracle of one only thing.

And as all things have been

and arose from one

by the mediation of one:

so all things have their birth

from this one thing by adaptation.

The Sun is its father,

the moon its mother,

the wind hath carried it in its belly,

the earth is its nurse.

The father of all perfection

in the whole world is here.

Its force or power is entire

If it be converted into earth.

Separate thou the earth from the fire

the subtle from the gross

sweetly with great industry.

It ascends from the earth to the heaven

and again it descends to the earth

and receives the force of things superior and inferior.

By this means you shall have

the glory of the whole world

and thereby all obscurity shall fly from you.

Its force is above all force,

for it vanquishes every subtle thing

and penetrates every solid thing.

So was the world created.

From this are and do come

admirable adaptations

where of the means is here in this.

Hence I am called Hermes Trismegist, having the three parts

of the philosophy of the whole world.

That which I have said

of the operation of the Sun

is accomplished and ended.

Hermes Trismegistus is a legendary alchemist and ancient Egyptian sage who is associated with the Philosopher's Stone: 

Philosophers stone - An elusive substance that alchemists sought to create as the ultimate goal of their work. The stone symbolized immortality and spiritual enlightenment

The emerald tablet - work of alchemy and is often attributed to Hermes Trismegistus. However, German scholar Julius Ruska traced the text back to the 7th–9th century Arab treatise Kitab Balaniyus al-Hakim fi'l-`Ilal

The Seal of Hermes - An alchemical procedure for creating the Philosopher's Stone that involved sealing a glass vessel containing a mixture of materials. The vessel was then heated for 30–40 days. The term "hermetically sealed" comes from this procedure. 

Distillation - A process used by alchemists to change matter from one form to another. The method was attributed to Hermes Trismegistus, which is why it's described as "hermetically sealed"

“As above, so below

As within, so without

As the universe, so the soul. “

I return any negativity and ill intent directed at me. I release all harmful energy and allow others to feel the weight of their actions. I recognize the principles of karma, understanding that what we put out into the world returns to us. I trust that individuals will face the consequences of their actions. Tu metis quod seminas.

𝑵𝒐𝒕𝒆:

This is purely optional, but after performing the spell, you can check in with your tarot deck to see if it's working. If you draw negative cards such as Death, Five of Cups, The Tower, The Hanged Man, or Three of Swords, it may indicate that the spell is working. If you don’t pull many negative cards, consider asking about any obstacles and adjust the spell accordingly.

[Weird one to guess the balance for. It's pretty mediocre as an AoE spell for its level, especially when all of these classes have Fireball. But it nukes the crap out of big targets. No upcast benefit because I would like to not completely invalidate ginormous boss monsters.]

Fantasy Concept: Alchemy is real, but "gold" isn't

Gold doesn't exist in the same way in that it does as a mechanical compound in our world, but as a physical manifestating of magic essence. Alchemizing materials means removing the physical matter and leaving only the component.

Any witch tips?

so I've been thinking about making a protection/warding jar or something of the sort for keeping my little sister safe, but I'm not sure how I'd do that without running the risk of accidentally hurting her. I want to make the jar baneful or transmutational. I'm not sure how I'd go about making a baneful ward without possibly catching her in the crossfire, and I've never done transmutation work before.

It's so funny that the official widogast's transmogrification spell writeup includes an explicit caveat that it can also be used to change gender. Like it would be very strange to me if that wasn't the case but I guess it's nice we established Widogast's Gender Affirming Care
