Anti-Nightmare Plushie Spell!

Hey guys! I want to talk about a spell I recently did that’s inspired by a couple nightmare-repelling spells I’ve seen!

This is Sam - he’s my son, I love him. 10/10. In this spell I used:

-Plushie

-needle and thread

-scissors

-Amethyst

First, I cut a little hole on his belly.

Then I slipped an amethyst chunk inside him, pushing it closer to the middle. It was about the size of a quarter.

Finally, I sewed him up, said a few words to solidify my intention, and then kissed his little trunk!

Something I recommend but totally forgot: slip a sigil for positive dreams inside with the crystal!

The results I’ve seen is I’ve had less nightmares than usual, but I still get some. I’d say this spell works a bit more towards general positivity and relaxation instead of specifically nightmares. Good spell, fun times!

Wooden Spoon Kitchen Blessing

The kitchen is the center of the home for many of us, and it’s a place where we can make all kinds of magic. From family dinner recipes to spell work, your kitchen often becomes the spot where people come for comfort, warmth, and sustenance.

Do this simple blessing spell in your kitchen to add a bit of mojo into your meal prep.

Materials:

Use the ribbon to tie the basil to the wooden spoon, and walk in a clockwise direction around your kitchen, beginning at the north wall.

As you move, open each cabinet, the refrigerator, and the pantry, waving the spoon like a wand

Pointed into each cabinet and at your stove and oven, saying:

Bless this kitchen, hearth and home.

Bless this kitchen and the meals prepared.

Bless this kitchen and the magic made.

After you’ve circled the entire kitchen, hang the spoon near your oven or inside the pantry as a reminder that magic is present.

🔮How I Write A Spell🔮

What Is The Point Of This Spell?: First, figure out what sort of spell you want to do. What is its purpose? What kind of spell is it? A glamour, for example. Might be the sort of spell you decide on. It may seem obvious, but remember to write this stuff down! I usually write these questions down and keep the whole spell making process recorded in my grimoire.  This is my own personal advice, but something I’ve learned is to consider if there’s another way you can accomplish whatever the purpose of the spell is without magick. I think of spells as last resorts to certain things, or as a booster shot of luck or confidence ect. But that’s just me. The Timing: When will I do this spell? This could be based off of the day of the week/time of day and moon cycle. Astrology stuff if you’re into that. I also like to do big spells on the Sabbats so if you celebrate them, you might try that. How Might I Prepare?: Will this spell have certain crystals, herbs, chants, sigils, what do you need to do and collect? Remember to research any ingredients used. Especially if its a big, or important spell to you. To me, research is just more intent! Here’s a compact list of some things a spell might involve as well, you might go through and decide what works and what doesn’t. This certainly isn’t everything you might put in a spell but it might help you narrow a few things down: - Colors used - Jars/Sachets - Sigils - Crystals - Herbs & Spices - Candles - Incense - Essential oils - Forms of divination, such as tarot, runes, or a pendulum - Knots - Chants - Magick waters, such as moon water What Will The Steps Be?:  if you know you want to do a glamour, once again as the example, and you want to involve candles, think about what that will actually look like. Tips & Reminders: - Cleanse yourself, the space, and anything used. - Ground yourself.  - Cast a circle, if you feel that’s necessary. You don’t have to though! - Set the mood. Do a spell past dark, light some candles, take a nice, long, hot, cleansing bath ahead of time. Drink some tea. Do some self care, or something that makes you feel as witchy as ever.  - If something feels right, using this ingredient over that, a certain time of day, or anything like that. Do it! This is your practice.  - If you’re not sure what to do, or what a spell should even look like, have a look at other similar spells. Before you even start writing your own, you might just substitute a few things because you lack ingredients or prefer something else from spells you’ve found.  - Wards are always a good idea - If sigil burning, or fire of any sort is involved. Be safe! keep some water nearby, do it on a fire safe surface, keep in mind how you’re going to keep this contained if something goes wrong.  Enjoy and have a lovely day 💖

A Beginner’s Guide to Candle Magic

The very first spell that most folks cast happens on our birthdays. Someone lovingly purchases or bakes a cake for us and candles, representing our age, are placed on top. Those candles are lit and as we close our eyes, we are told to make a silent wish and blow them out.

Many believe that this tradition dates back to ancient pagan rituals. Our birthdays were considered to be important since they marked our entry into this world. The candles on the cake held great force and power and, once blown out, the wish was carried by the smoke and sent to the gods. The gods, in turn, would receive the message and grant the wish.

Candles are integral to spell-casting and are arguably the best and most inexpensive way to get started. Most of us have a supply of candles or tealights in our homes, and some light them at night while having dinner, reading a book or writing. However, candles symbolize elements - earth, air, water and fire and, if you have a desire in mind, all you need is fire and the intent to make it happen.

Candle colours and their correspondences

One of the most important aspects of candle magic is to use the right colour candle. Some spells are rigid and need a precise colour or shade of a colour while others are more open-ended. If you are unsure of which candle to use, always use a white candle - it’s a neutral and pure colour that can be used for anything. Here are the main candle colours and their correspondences:

Choosing and cleansing your candles

It’s important to magically disinfect your candles before use - most are mass-produced across the world, often in less-than-ideal conditions and, because wax is a vessel for energy, every person that has come into contact with your candle has effectively deposited some of their energy into the wax.

There are many ways to cleanse candles before a spell and most folks have a ritual that works for them. Some people enjoy a prolonged ceremony of candle cleansing while others leave them in the garden to soak up moonlight. Below is a method of cleansing referred to as “anointing” and involves water and oils to prepare the candle before the ritual begins.

Step 1: Wipe Clean

Wipe the wax with a paper towel, removing all traces of debris and dust.

Step 2: Prepare a solution

Mix salt and water into a saucepan on medium heat. Once the salt dissolves, let cool.

Step 3: Intent

Standing in front of the sink, hold the candle in your left hand. Pour a small amount of the saline solution over the candle, being careful not to wet the wick. Take a fresh paper towel and dry thoroughly while saying:

Step 4: Inscribing

With a small paring knife or needle, scratch your full name and your goal into the wax. It doesn’t matter where you inscribe the words, and it’s not important that they’re particularly legible. Once the candle is lit, these words will burn away and give the spell more clout.

Step 5: Anointing

Pour some vegetable oil into a small bowl. You can feel free to mix in herbs that are associated with your spell’s intent. Hold the candle in your left hand again. Dip the first finger of your right hand into the oil and run it down the candle from top to bottom in a line. Say this invocation:

Step 6: Rhyming and Repetition

One of the ways we can add more power to a spell is by repeating the incantation over and over. Often, prewritten spells, both ancient and modern, will rhyme with some kind of poetic fluidity. Repetition will help enforce the message.

Step 7: Ending the spell

After repeating your spell the desired number of times, you will need to close the ritual. Choose one of the phrases below to say before looking upward and saying thank you.

How To Create Your Own Spells

Dedicated to @a–special–one​ Thank you so much for asking! I felt like this needed a post all it’s own ^u^

-from my grimoire

I’d like to say before anything else, and as I always say, this is not the only way to do this. There are many different ways to create your own spells, and this is simply the method that I find easiest when teaching beginners. And always remember that when it comes to crafting a spell, your intentions are whats most important.

Gathering Your Thoughts

The first step to creating any spell, is thinking about what kind of spell you want to perform, how you want to perform it, and how you want it to manifest.

Ask yourself some questions. “What kind of spell do I want to make?” “Does this need to be a very specific spell or a vague one?” “What method am I going to use to cast/create the spell?” “How do I want this spell to affect me or the person it’s aimed at?” “What kind of ingredients am I going to need?” “What time of day or moon phase would I like to perform this spell?” Anything along those lines are important questions to ask before you start working on your spell. Write the questions and answers down on paper that way you can keep track of everything!

Types of Spells

The next place you’re going to end up is choosing what kind of spell you want to do. Picking what type of spell you want to do is important because this is what decides how effective it is, how long it’s going to last, and when it’s effect will activate. This is not a list of all the types of spells out there, but simply the types that I do on a regular basis. And as another note, you can totally combine methods as well! This can easily enhance the power of your spells and make your intentions more clear and direct.

Picking Your Ingredients

Unless you’ve decided on spoken word or prayer alone, you’ll be looking for ingredients next. You don’t need expensive or fancy ingredients, and if you need to you can totally add spices and such from your kitchen ^u^ Think about correspondences carefully, and if you associate something with a feeling or ideal specifically then use it! Things that have personal meanings to yourself can be the most powerful ingredient in any spell.

Here are some of the correspondences I’ve posted about. (If tumblr wasn’t fiddly I would post links, but they’re on my blog in the “My Grimoire” and “My Tips” pages) Herbs and Spices Incense and Oils Common Crystals Colors Flowers Feathers (be mindful of the feathers you pick up, some could get you in legal trouble!)

When To Cast

Once you’ve got all your ingredients together, next thing you’re gonna wanna sit down and figure out when you want to cast your spell. This isn’t always a necessary part, and most spells can be done whenever you feel like, but taking things like Time of Day or the Current Moon Phase into account can really add to (or even take away from) the power of your spell

Here are some simple correspondences for Moon Phase and Time of Day. (I’ll go more in depth in a separate post if enough people show interest)

Moon Phases

Time of Day

Like I said earlier, this stuff isn’t necessary unless you really want that extra ‘umph’ in your magick, so don’t feel like you have to plan it down to a T especially if you’re in a hurry. Only plan if you want to and have the time to.

Organizing and Casting

How are you going to cast the spell? That’s probably one of the hardest parts you’re going to come across if you’re new to spell crafting. You want to think about this part carefully so you get maximum results. I can give some tips ^u^

✨Doorway Cleansing✨

This is one of my favorite hearth rituals to preform at the start of each week. It’s quick and to the point. Repeat the spell at whatever frequency is needed or good for you.🧡

Ingredients

✨Two cups of moon water

✨One and a half tablespoons of apple cider vinegar

✨Two tablespoons of Himalayan salt

✨Couple drops of lavender oil

✨Small handful of cloves(4-6)

Combine the above ingredients in a bowl and leave to steep for two hours! Keep it in the sun to charge it or add crystals to the area around it to charge it as desired. Once it’s done steeping soak a fresh wash cloth in it and wash the entry way to your home. The doorstep, the threshold, the hinges, everything you can think of. Be thorough with your cleansing and cleaning.🌿 Focus your intent of cleaning your doorway from negativity and inviting in good energy.☀️

Simple Spell for Happiness ☺️

You need:

- A drink you can mix in (like hot cocoa) or mix something into (like green tea and honey)

- A spoon to stir

Stir the drink clockwise while saying:

Bring me peace,

Bring me joy.

Let not my sorrows

Control me anymore.

Repeat as many times as needed and variations of the words or liquid work as well ❤️ Always do what works best for you.

🌌 A spell bottle to aid in communicating with spirits/your spirit companion 🌙

Ingredients: 

Add the herbs to the jar one by one, speaking their properties and how they will add to the power of the jar. Hold the piece of crystal and envision it becoming charged with energy before putting it in. Put the lid/cork. Light your candle and let a couple drops of wax fall into the lid, then affix the bottom of the candle into the wax so it stands upright unaided. Hold the jar with the lit candle going and envision the desired effects of the spell (ex: you seeing/talking with spirits easily, seeing manifestations and signs) Continue this until the candle has burned down to your liking and the jar is sealed by its wax. 

“Overstayed Your Welcome”

A Banishing Spell

You may have felt neutral or even happy at first with your guest, but now they have overstayed their welcome. If you have someone who is invading your home/boundaries this spell can be used to repel or banish them from your space.

*this is also a low spoon spell

*this is a low cost spell

*this spell doesn’t require fire

You will need:

What to do:

On your alter, desk, or table have your ash (or fine salt substitute), a cup of water, and salt set out.

Mix your salt into the water while you think of why you want this person to go away and leave your space. What have they done? How has it affected you? The salt absorbs your intent and dissolves into the water. Take a deep breath and as you breathe out, release the discomfort, pain, or fear they have caused into the cup.

With a hand over the ash/salt substitute, speak these words:

“The time we’ve had has been fun

But now it’s time that you’re gone

I’m sorry to say, my dear,

But you are not welcome here.”

Take the ash/salt substitute in your palm and bring it to an open window or outside of your room- take a deep breath and blow it off of your palm. Watch the substance puff away then wash your hands- this person is no longer your problem to deal with.

Now take the cup of saltwater, dip your fingers in the cup and smear the water on your doorway and threshold. This becomes a shield or barrier to block them entering.

Dump access saltwater down the sink, wash your hands of the tinged saltwater, and be done with the business.

Midas’ Hand Oil

“Everything you touch Shall turn into gold.”

In a base of sunflower oil, blend together : - 1 bay leaf (“laurels of victory” it is + prosperity, protection) - 1 drop of honey (precious gold in liquid form + to sweeten the minds) - 1 gold piece (coin, gold scraps, gold leaf powder, a ring…) - 1 pinch of nutmeg (luck and success) - 3 cloves (to open all paths, to clear all ways + success, courage, strength) - 1 zest of orange, or its peel, or 7 drops of essential oil (orange was once a rarity and therefore treasurable + success, prosperity, joy: traditionally, so that people are happy to do according to your will) - cinnamon, at will (energetic and magical boost, for charisma)

Anoint the mouth (so as to speak well), the temples (where sits the “crown” + so as to think well), the third eye (so as to see well), the hands (so that your actions are successful and flourishing)

Utilisation : Use with caution - this is a very potent oil and, as its name suggests, should be handled with care. Do not overuse, and do not be greedy of its results. Always be careful what you wish for. Suitable for all issues requiring success : job interviews, exams, love affairs, games and gambling alike.

“I Shouldn’t Be Awake But I Have to Be” Jar Spell

I have a 10pm to 6am shift at work tonight and even though I’m a night owl (2:30am is a common bedtime) I know I’m gonna need all the help I can get staying up until 6. I put this jar together for any late night/early morning shifts, with one or two tweaks it should work for any situation where you need to stay awake (any work shift, finals, all nighters, travel, etc) 

Ingredients:

I started by cleansing my objects and lighting my dragon’s blood incense. Once the incense was finished burning, I lit a red candle and drew my sigil on my bay leaf. I then began placing the ingredients in the jar, following the order I have listed above, and focused on the purpose of each ingredient. Before adding the bay with the sigil, I burned the end of it then broke it apart and added it. 

I did use a piece of paper as a funnel for the coffee grounds and the incense, so I wouldn’t make a mess. Once everything was in I corked the bottle nice and tight and carefully sealed it with the wax from the candle. I then charged it with a quartz point I’d left charging in the sun for a few hours (ideally the jar itself would be charged in the sun but…it’s summer I didn’t want to risk the wax melting off)

Cute Witchy Idea

Enchant/bless pennies to manifest desires when activated with water, then pass them out to children at fountains and wishing wells.

A spell to do this:
