Printable Pendulum Boards

Pendulum boards are wonderful tools for working with pendulums, many people want to test out using pendulum boards before they purchase one, so I created several printable pendulum boards that you can print, or use on a tablet screen.

Each is downloadable.

🌛Sigil Grid Sheets🌜

Creating sigils is a really enjoyable aspect of witchcraft if you choose to practice it, but not everyone knows how to best create sigils and some don’t want to take the time to create their own sigil grids for practice.

Below is attached images of practice sigil grids - feel free to download the images to print and practice with.

Circle Letter Sigil Grid:

Saturn Planetary Sigil Grid:

I am not the owner of these sigil grids, these are simply my practice sheets that I have created myself the practice sigil creation. Please follow the link HERE to find my larger sigil post and the original posters (as far as I know) for these sigil grids.

I hope this helps.

🌛Witchy Hint🌜

If you don’t have coloured candles, you can replace any colour with white and have the same results.

Don’t limit your magick because you don’t have all the props.

CRYSTAL CAUTION!

☀️SUNLIGHT☀️

Sunlight can cause certain crystals to fade. The following is a list of the some of the more common crystals that should avoid direct sunlight. 

Amethyst 

Citrine 

Ametrine 

Aquamarine

Celestite

Fluorite

Sapphire

Opal

Kunzite

Turquoise 

Topaz

Quartz Varieties

💧WATER💧

The scientific truth is that water is corrosive to certain types of crystals. Water can change the color of certain minerals, cause rust and can also make cracks appear. Any porous or softer crystal should not be cleaned with water. Any crystal with an iron content should avoid water. Any crystal with a hardness less than 5 should not come in contact with water. The following is a list of some of the more common crystals that should avoid water. 

Desert rose

Selenite (Gypsum)

Tourmaline

Pink Himalayan 

Calcite Varieties 

Unpolished Malachite 

Angelite 

Celestite 

Calcite

Mica

Opal

Lepidolite 

Muscovite

Unpolished Turquoise

Hematite

Lodestone

Pyrite

Dioptase

Lapus Lazuli

Magnetite

🍚SALT🍚

Salt isn’t for every stone. If salt gets humid, it can liquify and cause the same problems that immersing the stone in water would. So because of that, I would suggest not using the salt method for any stone with a water sensitivity (above), or any stone that could get a shard of salt trapped within it (geodes, etc). Any crystal with a hardness less than 7 should not be cleansed with salt.

🔥HEAT🔥

Some crystals are sensitive to heat, such as Malachite.

SUMMARY

When in doubt, avoid these methods of cleansing/charging or use the non-contact method. Do your research before cleansing/charging your crystal. 

If you know of a specific crystal that should avoid any of these methods, please list them in the comments and I will add them to this post!

Hey! Do you know of any online spell books that i could use? i've been all over witch tumblr recently and i'm just looking for as many resources as i can find

Online spell books, I can only think of one reasonable one: https://www.free-witchcraft-spells.com/online-spell-book.html

I can’t say that all the spells are real, but having had a look through there are definitely lots of spells you can adaot to your requirements.

I also have a few good physical spell books:

🌙“The Element Encyclopedia of 5000 Spells” by Judika Illes is good for historical spells across all cultures that is good to use as reference, it is available on amazon and online at good prices given the size of the book.

🌙“Spellweaving: a Guide to Positive Enchantment” by Pamela Ball

I hope this helps x

Hi! How can i know if stones are my thing? I went to see some today but i didn't feel connected to any of them :( and i really want to be able to connect (ps. sorry for my bad english)

Crystals and stones aren’t always for everyone, and not all stones resonate with all people. Feeling and connecting with crystal energy requires you to be able to sense energy, if you can already do this, I would suggest going to different crystal stores and going through crystals, seeing if any of their energy connects with you, it is likely that you will find at least one of two types that do. If not, crystals can still be used if you don’t have a connection to them, clear quartz, in particular, is wonderful for anyone as it’s a great multipurpose stone that can adapt to your requirements.

Also important to note is that you don’t always feel a connection to a stone immediately, some stones take time to work with and connect to, so if you enjoy the look of a stone and want to connect with it over time, sleeping with it under your pillow and meditating with it can really help bring out that connection.

If you don’t already know how to sense energy, I would suggest looking into this first, as it’s an important thing that can really help later on in your practice, as well as allowing you to easily sense the energy and connect with crystals. A great way is learning how to project your energy and draw it back into yourself.

I really hope this helps.Love and Light xx
