Sigils by @french-baby-witch

My mom’s mint has been infected by a fungus, so I had the idea of creating a sigil for plants. I finally did it to help my succulents acclimate to their new pots and earth (since the mint is healing itself quite well).

Also, I’m planning to hand-sew a pouch for my crystals. I needed a sigil to prevent them from charging the pouch. (They tend to charge whatever they’re in contact with, except furnitures)

Here are some good ideas for your grimoire! 📚🌿

From: whitchytips

[thewitchyitch]

How To Attract What You Desire

Before you begin:

• Know what you want. What you really want. And don’t think of “how” you’ll get it. • Write the desire in present tense on a card. It is now your goal card. • Carry this card with you and read it often. This is putting the desire into your subconscious mind. • Check if your goal is really what you want. Can you imagine bigger? Are you letting fear stop you? Are you answering your soul’s calling with this?

Night:

• How you fall asleep determines what shows up in your life. Everytime. Without fail. So we start our day how we fell asleep the night before, actually. Ask your self one question before you sleep: “If my wishes were fulfilled, how would I feel?” Fall asleep to that question satisfied. • Record an MP3 or voice note of your OWN voice, reciting positive affirmations. Get examples online but personalize them. Your subconscious mind trusts your own voice. Use it. • Never ever let yourself fall asleep feeling stress or failure. Don’t invite it in.

Morning:

• When your eyes open, set your intention for the day. • Did you have any dreams last night? Write them down. • Write 5 things you’re grateful for. Increase to 10 after a while and begin to include wishes that are yet to manifest e.g. “I’m grateful I now weigh __”

Day:

• Read Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. (PDF’s online) Read slowly and reflectively. • Read Feeling Is The Secret by Neville Goddard (PDF’s online) • The Secret book/DVD is great for beginners but you’re going to have to dig deeper to pull this off. • Do what makes you smile. Read, play your music, call a friend, go for walks. Do whatever you can to lighten your mood. •Write about your desire as if it’s already happened. •Visualize your life ASSUMING the desire has already happened. How do you feel? What are you wearing? Where are you? Was manifesting easy and fun?

Remember:

• Bruce Lee, Jim Carrey, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Oprah Winfrey, Big Sean, Conor McGregor and countless others have used this formula. It works, and it will work for you.

Basic Succulent Care

This is how I personally care for my succulents and is a vague list. If you want something more specific, feel free to send an ask/message and I’ll likely reply.

🌵 I keep them either in part/full sun. Mine are right by a west-facing window.

🌵 Water a few times a week but not every day. They don’t need it and I actually killed one by overwatering a few years back. Cacti retain more water and can be watered less than succulents.

🌵 Use cactus soil. If it is unavailable for whatever reason, you can mix sand with regular soil and it should work, too.

🌵 If the pot you use doesn’t drain or is large, put rocks in the bottom, it helps drain and saves on soil.

And that’s pretty much it! Again, if you need something specific answered, I can try to help.

How Magic Works

These are just some of many different theories about how spells work. For anybody who really enjoys “magical theory” like I do or is looking for validation that there’s something to all these weird spells! None of these serve to discredit magic, but rather add a deeper level of understanding to it. The success of a spell could be credited to more than one of these, or something else entirely!

Law of Attraction. Basically, the idea that you attract what you focus on. A popular example is focusing on the color red, and seeing how much red is around you that you didn’t notice before. This is most effective for spells involving personal matters and success, by formally opening your eyes to details and opportunities you may have missed otherwise. 

The Placebo Effect. It’s a proven fact that our bodies can heal ourselves merely by belief that what we’re doing helps! This can extend beyond health spells to things like confidence, performance ability, and other things that aim at personal improvement. The placebo effect may be all that spell needs to be successful ( and it wouldn’t have happened without the spell!)

Direct cause/effect. Something about the spell and the way it was cast directly affects the outcome. Example: a sigil designed for protection, when looked at, serves as a constant visual reminder that you are protected, subconsciously strengthening your wards.

Science/chemistry. This is most true for kitchen witchery and herbalism. Chamomile, lavender, and other herbs aren’t corresponded with calmness and sleep for nothing… they’re made up of chemicals that have been scientifically proven to calm the nerves and aid in sleep!

Quantum physics. There’s a phrase called “Quantum Woo,” where people use quantum physics (often incorrectly) to explain any type of magical thinking or practice. While the ultimate theory behind quantum physics was recently disproven, the discoveries made through research still hold true. Basically, we know particles behave differently when observed, and our energies can effect this. We just don’t know why that is. This is the baseline behind a lot of energy work.

Divine string pulling. Ask and ye shall receive. This is where we depart from the physical to the spiritual side of magic. Many people do magic by appealing to divine forces, Mother Earth, God(s), the Universe, whatever you want to call it. This could be with an offering, a ceremony, or even just bedside prayer. The divine force hears the request, and grants it by affecting change and “pulling strings” to cause the desired outcome.

Spiritual string pulling. Very similar to the previous point, but with entities that are not worshipped or seen as divine. Many believe that spirits can still affect change “behind the scenes.” A spirit worker may make a deal with a spirit for luck or protection, or someone may ask their ancestors for good fortune and health.

Personal string pulling. Instead of asking an outside entity, this is the idea that we, as the practitioner, pull the strings. This is most seen through the “cone of energy” method of casting, where we raise a lot of concentrated energy and intent in a space, then release it all at once to do its thing. You also see it with sympathetic magic, where by doing something to a poppet, we actively affect that change on the target. No middle man included.

what the signs need to hear

aries: it’s absolutely okay to let people in. it’s scary, but once you do it, a whole world opens up. nobody is going to love you less for having weak moments or for letting them know when you’re down. if anything, they’re going to love you more. it’s going to set you free from everything you’ve always held in. give people the gift of knowing you. you’ll feel closer to them in the end.

taurus: do not shut yourself away. people want to know when you need their help. you don’t have to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders all by yourself. you don’t need to feel sad all the time and not reach out for help when you really need it. you’re not bothering anyone, you’re not a burden.

gemini: the people who are meant to love you won’t have to be fought for. i know how badly you want to love and be loved in return. you yearn for that closeness, but sometimes, you just try too hard for people who really don’t deserve you. be yourself, the right people will come along.

cancer: not everyone is going to leave. i know you have the biggest heart, and you’re so scared that you’ll never find people who want to stick around. but the best things come around when you’re not trying to force anything. people want to stay, just loosen your grip, let the anxiety go, you don’t have to cling on. they will stay regardless.

leo: it’s okay to not have everything figured out. life is scary and you’re so hard on yourself. you’re always trying to be perfect and to know what the next step is. but the beauty of life is that we don’t know, and we don’t have to know. we just have to live it and not be so caught up in what may happen next.

virgo: you’re perfect the way you are. you don’t need to change yourself to make people love you. don’t forget your values and what makes you, you. you can be weird, loud, sarcastic. it doesn’t matter what anyone says about any of it. don’t try to be something you’re not. the right people will love you for who you are.

libra: don’t harden. i know how hard it is when all these people have come around and hurt you, but don’t lose yourself. the world can be mean and scary and down right hurtful, but don’t become what you hate. you have strength in your softness. 

scorpio: stop loving people who don’t deserve it. all they do is hurt you and give you anxiety. stop letting them come in and treat you like you’re less than you are. you’re a galaxy, a whole universe. you will never deserve to be only half loved.

sagittarius: having a big heart is not a weakness. you may get frustrated, because you do so much for people and you feel as if it never gets returned. but, the fact that there still are people like you in the world, it gives others hope. it comes so naturally to you, and it’s a beautiful thing to see. it’s easy to think that it’s a weakness, but it is most certainly the strongest attribute a person could have.

capricorn: be loud. speak your opinion. don’t hold back. people may be critical because you tend to be blunt sometimes, but do not let them shrink you. be louder, more brave, more blunt. people act as if it’s horrible to have any opinion these days, but it’s people like you who speak their mind, you make the world better. 

aquarius: not everything is what it seems. you have to be willing to get to know people, to put yourself out there, to give everything a fair chance. you can’t hold yourself back and be cautious of everyone and everything that wants to get close to you. open your heart up.

pisces: being lost means being found. life takes you through many twists and turns, it confuses you and makes you wonder if there is a point. oh, but there is. there’s a reason life chooses the strongest people to go through the worst of it. and if you just keep going, you will see the light at the end of the tunnel that everyone talks about.
