Super Casual Mini Spells

Need to fall back in love with your craft? If I’ve learned anything, it’s the little moments that count. Learning to make small, everyday things magical is an art all witches can benefit from. Not to mention, being on tumblr often surrounds users with elaborate, expensive altars which, while totally fine, aren’t always realistic.

 Making everyday activites a part of your craft is incredibly helpful for:

   - getting back into witchcraft after a long break or hiatus

   - beginners who don’t feel ready for a formal spell

   - witches with mental disabilities who don’t have the energy for a formal spell  but still want to continue their practive

    - anyone!!! literally anyone!! everyone !!!!!

Here’s some ideas I had! Feel free to add yours on too :)

  much love, @nature-is-punk

Casual Kitchen Spells

-Stir your coffee/tea to the right on days you want a boost of extrovertedness, bravery, and confidence.

-Stir your coffee/tea to the left on days you want to focus on yourself. I like to do this before I paint or take a test!

-Envision your goals and wants each day as you make breakfast. Even if it’s just you pouring cereal and picturing an A on that test, it’s a small bit of mindfullness that can make a big difference.

-Mumble or just think of a sentence or two to serve as a little spell, repeating it three times. Then take three bites/sips to cast it! Bonus points if the food you’re eating coordinates with the spell - i.e,  eggs for new growth

-Eating oatmeal? Draw sigils with your spoon!

-My mom always said it was good luck to kiss the tea bag before you brew it…Not sure about this one, but might as well!

Casual Bedroom + Bathroom Spells

-Coordinate the colors you wear with your want for the day! Personally, my favorite way to do this is with underwear and socks, since I don’t exactly fancy wearn head to toe orange on days I want to be a bit more positive.

-Leave a few second pause before your feet first touch the ground in the morning, let yourself just have a little moment to dedicate your renewed energy before taking your first steps.

Make sigils with your:

-Each time you run the brush through your hair, repeat a little spell for personal growth and health! Clean your brush frequently so there is no old hair and ‘old energy’ adulterating the spell.

-Envision anything negative or toxic in your life being scraped off your skin each time you wash your hands.

-Shower magic is the absolute BEST! Enchant all your soaps so each wash gives you a little boost!

Casual Workplace Spells

-Draw sigils with your eraser on your assignments, portfolio, resume, etc.,

-Consistently churning out sub-par work? Try washing your pens off in the bathroom sink, imagining the water cleansing any sluggish energy. If anyone asks, you were eating something sticky and it got on your pens.

-When going up or down stairs, stick to the right side to attract new friends and maintain confidence.

Casual Misc. Spells

-If walking down the street a distance, come up with a little spell chant. Each step, say a word or piece of the spell.

-Enchanting your shoes - basic, but a must have. I have each of my shoes echanted for the places I generally wear them to–my heels are specialized for beauty and confidence, while my everyday sneakers for resilience and positivity.

- Find a spider in the house? Get a cup, and as you take it outside, explain to it that you could have easily killed it because it was in your home, but you benevolently let him go! Ask a question–the spider will answer within 7 days! Be on the lookout for signs.

             - This only works with spiders you find in your house! Not outside.

Always be on the lookout for tiny signs. Finding the magic in little things is important.

Spell Record Worksheet

For people who want to record their spells in a grimoire or elsewhere and enjoy having an outline like I do. This is designed to make it as easy as possible to look back and see what elements may have effected the outcome for better or worse.

✒️Name of Spell: Self-explanatory. ✒️Intent: What do you want to gain from this? What’s the goal? ✒️Time Cast: Date, day of week, moon phase, etc. ✒️Ingredients/Materials Used: Consider adding their relevant correspondences or WHY you chose them in particular. ✒️Actions: What did you do? What did you say? ✒️Notes: Did anything strange or interesting happen while casting? Relevant music come on? Were you interrupted? Are the candles acting weird? Make note. ✒️Outcome: Follow up with the results! Did it work in the way you expected, or do you need to tie up loopholes next time? If it didn’t work, what elements of the spell could be improved?

Spell: You Mean Nothing to Me

You Mean Nothing to Me

Use: This spell is used to rid yourself of unwanted feelings towards a person. These could be any feelings; anger, hurt, lust, or sadness etc. This is especially useful if you still have to see/maintain a front with this person. It is not a curse or a binding spell, it only effects your feelings.

Timing: I’m a firm believer that you should spell work whenever it’s best for you, but a Waning Moon at Sunset would boost this. 

Supplies:

Steps:

To reinforce: If you have to see this person, or if memories start to come back to you, just remember this spell and use it like a little shield you can mentally/emotionally place between you and the person that has brought you these unwanted feelings. 

Best of luck to the Anon that requested this!

You know, so often in a break up, it is your first impulse to put it all on the other person for resolution and closure. But honestly, one if the most confident affirming feelings you can have is to move on–on your own. The above spell is just that kind of self building magics.

Yelling helps too

Since everybody is suddenly so excited about my Clean House Powder, I thought I’d bring back this list of all my magical powders:

My website also has additional recipes not included on my tumblr page!

Reblogging again to remind everyone that this post is almost two years old, and the site URL was updated in 2015 just before my first book was published.

Just replace “landwalker” with “grovedaughter” in any link and the correct page should load. :)

Courage Charm

This charm will give you the courage that you need! This spell is best performed on a Monday although any day will work.

⭐ Gather basil, thyme, mustard seed(s), black pepper, tiger’s eye, a jar, and what you will use for a charm.

Optional ingredients: Neroli, agate, fluorite, yarrow, tea leaves (peppermint is best but any will do), iris, and/or clear quartz.

⭐ Charge your items with your intent and place them in the jar (do not place the object that you’ll use for the charm in the jar yet). As you place each item in the jar say, “[Item] give me courage, give me strength, help me to be courageous throughout the day.” 

⭐ Hold the item you’ll use for the charm in your hands. Close your eyes and visualize the object being a source of courage. You can do this by envisioning an aura around it, tell the object to give you courage when you need it, etc.

⭐ Place the item in the jar and let it sit under the light of the moon overnight. 

⭐ Carry the charm with you and rub it or touch it for courage!

Nineteen Flames For Brigid

Excerpt from “Tending Brigid’s Flame” by Lunaea Weatherstone

This prayer litany can be done all at once or over nineteen nights. You can offer one prayer each night or do it “Twelve Days of Christmas” style: on the first night, offer Flame 1′s prayer, on the second night offer the prayers for Flames 1 and 2, and so on until on the last night you offer all nineteen. However you get there, when you’ve lit that final flame, remember that Brigid holds the twentieth flame, which is eternal.

Flame 1: Wisdom

Flame 2: Hearth and Household

Flame 3: Ancestors

Bath Magic: Where to Begin

Hey y'all, C here. Today we’ll be talking in depth about the practice of bath magic. 

If you look around most traditional parts of the magical community, you’ll notice that bathing for ritual work or spell work is a fairly common practice. So what do I mean when I say that I specialize in bath magic? For me, bathing and witchcraft go hand in hand, and I do a ritual in the bath once a month at the very least. I’ve always loved the serenity and focus (not to mention complete selfishness) of taking baths, and so as I’ve grown into my craft it seemed like a natural place to draw magical energy. I find that the hot temperature of the water makes it very easy for me to get to a trance-like state (if not outright do trance work) and being naked in the water gives me a great place of vulnerability and rawness to begin any kind of spell work. T and I also use bathing in our shared craft to begin most of our major rituals, and that entails doing a cleansing bath with a special kind of locally made bath salts that we have been using since the very beginning. 

So what do my bath spells usually look like? To be honest, they vary a lot based on my resources at any given moment and the purpose of the spell. There are some things that I do every time such as: 

 • dedicating the bath for myself by placing a talisman or crystal (or other object I carry a lot/feel represents me) on the rim of the tub  

 • placing candles (often in corresponding magical colors and scents) around the tub and bathroom to add to the magical energy of the space 

 • making sure the water drawn is hot enough to remain warm for 40+ minutes and get me to a trancing state but not too hot as to burn my skin or make it uncomfortable for me to be in the water 

I also put something into the water every time I do bath magic, and in fact that is where I believe most of the magical intent is decided. This also widely varies with the type of spell. Some things I’ve done are: 

 • just throw in a handful of Epsom salts for a super basic cleansing. I also use these (in addition to some other ingredients) when I’m doing a real trance or astral travel or trying to communicate with a deity because they make me feel floatier in the water and therefore easier to forget my body

 • put in a few drops of different kinds of essential oils based on their magical associations

 • drop in some tea bags (like mint or chamomile or bags I’ve already used first for drinking) while the water is running to get a good infusion 

 • use bath salts that already have essential oils or herbs (or even glitter!) in the mixture. I use bath salts that I make myself, that T makes for me, and store bought and locally made mixtures, all with good results. It all depends on what I’m feeling at the time. 

 • use pre-made bath bombs, melts, and bubblers from Lush (although I’m sure one could use stuff like this from anywhere) based on the ingredients and names of the products. I’ve used Sex Bomb for a glamour and sex spell, Space Girl for glamour and deity exploration (I do a lot of glamours), etc. 

The practice of bath magic is great because we live in a society where bathing itself is so culturally charged to be reflective and purposeful. For that reason, it is also a great way to practice your craft that is not suspicious, or questioned by people you may live with. Even at their worst, taking long baths appears only over-indulgent. But I can live with that.

I moved into a new apartment this weekend. Here is a cute spell for new homes. :)

A Midnight Ritual if You Cannot Sleep Because You Are Worrying About a Confrontation or Crisis in the Morning

You will need:

Timing:

Midnight, called the time of the dark sun, indoors or in the garden.

The spell:

Light the candle and, looking into the flame, say: “The dark sun across the word does shine, but let all be peaceful in this place of mine.”

Sprinkle a few grains of salty into the flame, saying: “The sun will rise again at dawn, ‘til then I consign all fear ‘till morn.”

On the paper, write over and over again the fears and the worries that are troubling you. Tear off just a corner and singe it in the candle flame. (Have a bowl of soil ready in case it catches fire.)

Extinguish the candle, and put the folded paper and the singed corner, burned or not, into a small plastic container in the freezer.

Dispose of the plastic container and its contents the next morning.

15 Simple Spells

Magic doesn’t have to be tough. Here’s proof that there’s a lazy witch in all of us, and it’s easy to let them out.

low spoon magic

I don’t see lots of magic that’s easy enough for a “low spoon day” so I’ve looked through my tags decided to make a list of things for myself and anyone else who finds it helpful. I should also mention that I’m entering a phase of my life that is centered around learning to be motivated and productive for my own benefit so I can reach my goals… but that doesn’t mean I don’t participate in the occasional “fluffy” self care :) This just isn’t about that, because I like to kill two birds with one stone and get my shit done.

 Cleansing is very important to me, I like to keep my space as physically and energetically clean as possible. It just makes everything easier. I’m going to list my favorite methods that are both mundane and magical.

~Open your window! If you have been suffering in your depression crevice for a few days your room probably smells. Open a window and let the stink and stagnant energy out.

~Brushing your teeth, combing you hair, clipping your nails… these all feel good and can be intended to remove icky energy.

~Shower/bathe. I know when I used to be so tired that I couldn’t shower I smelled fucking nasty. I hated it, it was embarrassing and a real kick to the ego to know I was so depressed that I couldn’t even shower. This isn’t meant to make anyone feel bad- it’s just my feelings. I feel great now that I shower almost everyday. It’s especially great when I use my lavender body wash to promote calm energy, citrus shampoo, conditioner, and facial cleanser to promote a sense of a clear head and a burst of energy, and coconut scented stuff for a touch of sweetness. I’m also a person who shaves so I take the opportunity to intend that be a literal removal of icky energy growth. 

~If I can I like to vacuum and do laundry with the intention sucking away gross and washing away stink, respectively.

~A spray bottle with water and salt is also somewhat easy, I spray every corner I can reach, inside the closet, and the outer and inner door frame.

~DANCE :) If you have even a little extra energy- just flop around in a dance-like motion to release tense, angry, and depressive energy. This not only can be magically cleansing, but it also releases the happy endorphin.

~Eat!! Eats your food with intent, citrus to boost energy, carbs to ease an acidic-y tummy, chocolate to make you happier, water to boost energy & cleanse… This is also where tea comes in- but I find tea correspondences to be more individual, so do you.

Sigils are officially, as of this week, my favorite kind of magic. I see posts all the time about the intricacies and specific steps of making and charging a sigil. I used to do it in such a way that it became too hard, time-consuming, and annoying! But I’ve found that while phrases are too much, one word sigils work just as well (I’ll be posting a few pages from my sigil book once I can get to a scanner). Also, I try to encapsulate the essence of the word versus the letters when drawing a sigil, the ones I’ve made doing this work much better.

~I have made sigils for pain such as ‘my feet don’t hurt’ which I wrote on the bottoms of my feet and used my foot massager to charge it!

~There is a set of 3 sigils that I use whenever I go somewhere that would cause me to have a panic attack: Calm and Safe for anxiety and Engaged to keep myself from dissociating, or at least let me be able to pull myself out of it before I get completely lost. I usually draw these on my arm so I can kiss them to charge them (cheesy but incredibly effective lol)

~Word buttons aren’t really sigils but they work similarly to one word sigils. Write a word you need (calm, safe, happy, smile, motivate, nice, etc) somewhere discrete on your body (away from any wounds, you don’t want to get infected) then draw a 3D box, circle, or triangle around the word. I recommend a sharpie because it doesn’t smudge on your clothes, but whatever. I saw a post about this a while ago and I love doing this but I couldn’t find the post anywhere in my tags ):

Sometimes sigils aren’t the thing to use for whatever reason so here is a great post on match magic. It’s fun and simple and requires little brain power, if you have the ability to grip and strike a match.

Sometimes my iron levels get dangerously low, so I’m constantly cold. This is a fun spell if you have what you need and can do it in the open. If not, take your ring (or socks, whatever) and either put it on top of a heating venting or point a hair dryer at it until it’s warm enough, intent matters a lot here- intend for the warm feeling to last as long as you need it to.

I know a lot of ‘spoonies’ have therapy pets so here is my favorite pet protection spell. If that’s too much, attach a protective crystal to their collar or put one by where they sleep.

Executive functioning seems to be a common problem among ‘spoonies’ and that means losing shit. I hate being forgetful and losing my stuff so here is my favorite location spell! It’s great and customizing it to fit your needs is easy.

So yeah, that’s it for now… I’ll add stuff as I find it- because no witch who has a mental illness or a chronic condition should feel they can’t practice, especially to their own benefit. Feel free to add things that help you magically & mundanely so I can try it :)
