Witch Bottles? Witch Bottles! - Explained.

Witch bottles traditionally act as what can be described as ‘decoys’ for malevolent or baneful spirits and energies. This includes curses, hexes and jinxes - it includes anything and everything that seeks to ruin that good streak you’ve got goin’ on.

Historically, witch bottles included items such as rusted nails, thorns and wine (yep, you read it right: people used to stick wine in bottles to never be consumed!), and almost always include an item of your physical being, such as a lock of hair, a little bit of spit or blood or semen, etc,… you catch my drift here, right?

When creating a witch bottle of this ilk, your main goal is entrapment so personalize to your heart’s content.

Nowadays, we have witch bottles for protection, entrapment, cursing and myriad other things, but typically they all follow the same basic method of construction (for lack of a better word) as traditional witch bottles, which goes as follows:

For protection against baneful energies and the entrapment of them, some ingredients may include the following:

If you’re creating a protection bottle, you may want to include protective herbs, (such as Rosemary, St. John’s Wort, Pennyroyal or Mandrake root) and small crystals, like amethyst and quartz, in place of the… angry-ish content of the negativity-trapping bottle.

Next, you put all of your ingredients into your chosen bottle which can be made of glass, clay, metal or ceramics, and seal it as tightly as possible with a lid or stopper (cork). Now, shake! If the mood takes you, fill the bottle with whatever thoughts and feelings fit the intent for a little extra oomph.

Now you must take a candle that again, corresponds with the intent of the bottle. Black for protection (for me!), - but each witch has their own colour correspondences, remember - and drop the hot wax over the lid/stopper of your witch bottle. Before you play with hot wax, set some paper down underneath your bottle to protect whatever surface you’re working on and please, please take care not to let the wax touch your skin whilst it’s hot!

Traditionally, again, ceramic witch bottles were burnt or placed in a fire or hearth and the ashes/remains then buried somewhere on the witches’ property. Nowadays this isn’t always an option, and many of us choose to use glass bottles or jars. In this instance, you can run the jar/bottle through the smoke of an incense that befits yours needs and wants, and then leave the witch bottle somewhere dark/somewhere it won’t be disturbed.

Amarantos' WLW Attraction Spell

This spell is designed to attract other women who love women into your life, and for them to see you as beautiful in every way.

Here’s what you’ll need: ♠ The Petals From One Dried Rose ♠ The Petals From One Dried Hibiscus* ♠ One Tablespoon of Dried Lavender ♠ One Used Dryer Sheet ♠ One Piece of string ♠ One Bathtub Full of Water ♠ Rose Incense (optional) ♠ One Red or Pink Candle

Begin this spell by lighting your candle. Focus your energy on bringing in the ideal woman for you. Imagine what they’d act like, maybe what they’d look like. Really dig deep into who your want in your life. Direct the energy of the candle into your bath water, and visualize the flame adding passion into your search.

Place your rose petals, hibiscus petals, and lavender onto the middle of your dryer sheet. Carefully draw up the corners and tie it off to create a sachet. Throw it into your bath and light your incense. Get into your bath and allow the magick of the plants to soak into your skin. Feel it reveal the beauty within you and strip away the dirt of everyday life.

When you’re finished with your bath, extinguish the candle and incense if it they haven’t already burnt out on their own, and dispose of the sachet. Dry yourself off and do a bit of self care if possible. Then go about your day and see what your spell draws in!

*Note: all of these herbs and flowers can be substituted for other love drawing plants.

Science-backed Herbal Medicine

For any medical remedy, scientific evidence to support medical benefit is invaluable and makes for a very reliable resource when treating an ailment. The herbs listed have significant scientific research backing their efficacy. However, please note that this list is neither exhaustive nor exclusive, which is to say there are probably plenty of other herbs that have significant scientific support.

DIY: Herbal Salves

Salves are such a simple, effective, and useful medicine! They can easily be slipped into a purse, pocket, or first aid kit.  Although semi-solid at room temperature, salves soften once applied to the skin, making them less messy to apply than oils.  They also make great gifts and are an easy and approachable way to introduce newbies to the medicinal properties of herbs.  Plus, salves can be crafted for a wide variety of topical uses.  The addition of beeswax offers additional benefits including protective, soothing, emollient, nourishing, and healing properties.

Part 1: Make Herbal Infused Oil

To make salve, first craft your herbal infused oil(s).  This will take several weeks, but once finished, the rest of the salve making process will only take minutes!   You can also purchase pre-infused herbal oils if needed or if you wish to skip the process of infusing the oil.

Solar Method: When making herbal infused oils, we prefer the solar infused method.  Place dried botanicals into a dry and sterilized glass jar.  Some herbalists coarsely crush or grind herbs first, while others finely chop herbs and leave delicate flowers whole.  Cover with Extra Virgin Olive Oil (or other carrier oil of choice with a stable shelf life) leaving at least 1-2” of oil above the herbs to allow the herbs to swell.  Cap the jar tightly and place in a sunny, warm window.  If desired, the jar can be covered with a bag or box so that the oil is not exposed to direct sunlight.  Shake the jar once or twice per day, or as often as you remember. If the herbs absorb the oil, then add more oil so that they are always submerged.  Allow to infuse for 2-6 weeks, or until the oil takes on the color and aroma of the herb.  Once the oil is ready, strain using cheese cloth, and bottle into dry and sterilized amber bottles for storage.  Make sure to squeeze as much oil as possible from the herbs so that you do not waste any precious oil!  Herbal oils will keep for approximately a year if stored properly in a dark and cool place. Vitamin E Oil may also be added to prolong the shelf life.

Quick Method: Another way to infuse oils, which is sometimes necessary when herbal oils need to be created in a pinch, is the quick method which utilizes heat.  Much care needs to be taken when creating herbal oils this way because you do not want to deep-fry your herbs!  Place herbs in crock-pot, double boiler, or electric yogurt maker, and cover with Extra Virgin Olive Oil (or other carrier oil of choice) leaving at least an inch or two of oil above the herbs.  Gently heat the herbs over very low heat (preferably between 100 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit) for 1-5 hours until the oil takes on the color and scent of the herb.  Some texts recommend heating the oil 48-72 hours at a controlled temperature of 100 degrees Fahrenheit.  Turn off heat and allow to cool. Once that the oil is ready, strain using cheese cloth, and bottle into dry and sterilized amber bottles for storage.  Store in a dark and cool place, Vitamin E Oil may also be added to prolong the shelf life.

Part 2: Turn that Oil into Salve!

• 8 oz herbal infused oil(s) of your choice.  Choose one or a combination. • 1 oz Beeswax (use Carnauba Wax for a vegan salve) • Vitamin E Oil (optional) • 10-20 drops essential oil of choice (optional). Some essential oils commonly used are Lavender and Tea Tree. • Glass Jars or Tin Containers

Place Herbal Infused Oils and Beeswax over a double boiler, and gently warm over low heat until the Beeswax melts.  Remove from heat and add the essential oil and Vitamin E Oil (if using).  Quickly pour into prepared tins or glass jars and allow to cool completely.  Salves should be stored in a cool location where they will remain semi-solid and will not continue to re-melt and re-solidify.  If stored correctly, salves will last for 1- 3 years. Yields 8 oz.

Note:  The consistency of salves can easily be adjusted depending on your preferences.  Use less Beeswax for a softer salve and more Beeswax if you’d prefer a firmer salve.  You can test the consistency by placing a few spoons in the freezer before making your salve.  When the Beeswax melts, pour a little salve onto one of the cold spoons and place it back into the freezer for 1-2 minutes.  Once cooled, you can make adjustments by adding more oil (for a softer salve) or more Beeswax (for a firmer salve).

Herbs for Salve

You can make salve with a single herb or multiple herbs, depending on your needs.  It’s useful to make a variety of herbal infused oils so that you can easily craft salve whenever you need it!

Arnica flowers: Can help treat physical trauma, bruises, strains, and occasional muscle pain. Use immediately after strenuous exertion or injury to prevent, relieve, and reduce swelling, bruises and pain.

Burdock root: For skin infections.

Calendula flowers:  Wonderfully healing with all-around healing properties useful for a wide variety of skin irritations and conditions including wounds, insect bites, rashes, scrapes, abrasions, cuts, and much more.  Suitable for sensitive skin and babies.

Cayenne Pepper: Warming, good for occasional sore muscles, alleviates occasional pain, and itching.

Chamomile flowers: Minor abrasions, cuts, scrapes, and wounds.

Chickweed: Soothing, helps with skin conditions, minor burns, and other skin irritations.

Comfrey leaf and/or root: Relieves occasional pain, swelling, supports muscle, cartilage, and bone. Assists with healing a wide variety of conditions.

Echinacea herb and/or root: Beneficial for minor sores, wounds, insect bites, and stings.

Ginger root: Warming, use for occasional sore muscles.

Goldenseal leaf and/or root: Useful for treating minor wounds and skin conditions.

Nettle leaf: An effective herb for many skin conditions.

Oregon Grape root: Skin disinfectant for minor wounds.

Plantain leaf: Helps speed the recovery process, relieves and soothes insect bites and stings, poison ivy, itching, minor sores, bruises, blisters, and damaged skin.

St. John’s Wort: Craft the deep red-colored oil from fresh flowers. Beneficial for minor wounds, cuts, bruises, insect bites and stings, nerve support, scrapes, and minor burns.

Thyme: Used for cuts, scrapes, and occasional sore muscles.

Yarrow Flowers: Apply to bruises, minor wounds, cuts, scrapes, and areas with swelling and bleeding.

Please note that this is only a partial list, many other healing herbs can also be incorporated into salves.

~*Powders for and against Love*~

These powders were designed as sisters and foils of the other. One can bring love and help a relationship last. The other can break love spells, repel affection, and corrupt a relationship.

For a powder to attract the desire of others and soothe lover’s in peril:

Take the petals of a whole dried rose blossom and two petals from another and add them to the mortar. 

Next add sugar in half the ratio of the petals.

Add four tulip petals of a bright color.

Add two pinches of ground nacre (the shiny inner part of sea shells). If this is impossible, white sand from ocean shore may be substituted.

Grind these ingredients together until the powder is fine. Apply a tiny bit of the powder to the cheeks with a brush to attract the desire of onlookers. Sprinkle under your bed to attract a lover. Sprinkle over the threshold to bring a true friend and companion into your life. Throw into the path or onto the footsteps of quarreling lovers to soothe them. A powerful aid to love sachets and spells.

For a powder to break a love spell and repel affection:

Take petals of a whole dried rose and all but two to the mortar

Add twice as much charcoal as petals

Next is salt, a few pinches will do

And two petals from a white lily, torn to shreds and added in

Grind the mixture until you have a course powder. Sprinkle at the four corners of your home to break a love spell. Placed on the threshold and windows, or carried in a sachet it prevents them from being cast against you. If you desire to combat unwanted affections of someone, cast the powder where they will be the next to walk. Sprinkled under the bed, it will ensure the sleeper will not be able to attract a love. A powerful aid in curses designed to corrupt the love between others. I don’t recommend using it for this purpose, though.

Blessings

~*TOGW*~

Moth to the Flame

This ritual is intended as a love-drawing spell, however with very minor alterations it can be used to draw in nearly anything. This can easily be done by supplementing the items placed within the jar with those more befitting of your intent and swapping out the red candle for a hue more suited. Live animals are used in this ritual and it is important to handle [the moth] carefully or risk both endangering it and the “health” of your spell.

Ingredients

Optional:

Instructions

First and foremost, you must procure a moth. Don’t make things too complicated. Turn on some outside lighting and (with jar in hand, already prepped with your personal affect and/or herb mixture) wait patiently for your guest to arrive. If you’re having some difficulty, you may find this article useful. Once the moth has arrived, simply catch it in your jar and placing the cloth (or coffee filter, make sure to poke some holes!) over-top and fasten either with the ring or with a bit of string. Needless to stay, be careful not to injure the moth (specifically its delicate wings) when “jarring.” While it is a myth that to touch a moth’s wings will prevent it from flying, handling them is still not recommended. Take care to be gentle: you want to make sure that the moth not only remains alive, but can survive when freed.

Once that’s out of the way, the rest is a cake-walk. Dress your candle in Attraction Oil and carve in it the name of he/she/they whom you wish to attract. In a dark room, place the jar (and moth) near the candle and light. If you so choose, you may read the following incantation or try your hand at freestyle rap, do an interpretive dance or whatever gets you in that “attracting spirit.” Allow the candle to burn away a bit – watching the moth incessantly fly itself into the walls of the jar, as moths have been known to do.

After you feel as though you’ve waiting long enough (or can’t bear to watch that resilient moth fly head-first, kamikaze-style toward the flame) take the jar outside (turning off that pesky outside lighting) and letting it fly free once more. You have successfully jarred the moth’s interminable desire to reach the flame. Collect the contents of the jar into the cloth you used to “lid” the vessel and add to it, a drop of candlewax and a dab of honey // pinch of sugar. Using the same string (or a freshly cut piece if you opted for the jar-ring), bind the cloth into a small bag and place it near the still-burning candle. Once the candle has burned out, collect the bag and carry to draw unto you the object of your desire.

A Banishing Rite

Snap your fingers six times in rapid succession, with the first five tracing a star with each snap. Start with the lower right point and form the star from there. As ypu do so, say “HEKAS HEKAS ESTE BEBELOI!”.

Seal the banishing with the sixth fingersnap in the center of the pentacle, flicking your wrist outward and away from you as you do so. You may add an invective if you want to do so at this point.

Inspired by @secretworkings. Use as you will.

This though. This is fabulous.

What does “HEKAS HEKAS ESTE BEBELOI!” mean?

I believe it should mean “Far, far be removed the profane.”

I AM LOVING THIS.

I’m gonna do this to anyone that wants to talk shiTTTT

*witches snap their fingers in a pentacle formation*

Quick Balloon Curse

Needed: A Marker Balloon

Procedure: Blow up the balloon. Release your anger into the balloon as you blow into it.

Write the name of your target on the balloon with the marker.

State your intention while holding the balloon. Ex: I curse _______. Give examples of what you wish to happen to the target. Or you could use this spell to release your anger.

You could add more of your energy into the balloon by holding it between your hands. Build up enough anger and energy until you pop it between your hands, or pop with a pin if you would prefer that.

Your intention or anger is released into the universe with the popping of the balloon.

Enchanting things with touch -

A lot of witchcraft seems to be focused on visualisation as a means of imbuing things with magic, energy work seems almost entirely written to suit those who can visualise images.  I am extremely tactile, I am a touchy feely person with busy hands so I decided to share how I “enchant” items.

Enchantment in my book means to take an object and make it magical, whether it be a charm, a ward, an agent of the spell itself.

Kissing things - your lips are far more sensitive than your fingers, they are also very close to your nose so you can incorporate smell into this, too. Take the item, and bring it too your lips gently, place a plush firm kiss whilst focusing on planting your into into the item.

Stroking or brushing - I have heard people try knot magic by braiding their hair, my hair is too short for this, but you could start by brushing your hair. Really smoothing it out, deeply brushing hair or even fur is a great way to transfer magic from your mind to the hands to the object, brushing is very therupeutic and could almost be a trance inducing activity. When I had hair I could sit on, it was a wonderful sensory experience to hand brush it after a wash. 

You could also feel the surface of your item by smoothing it with you hands, really get to know the texture, let the magic explore the grain of the wood, the crevices in the stone or the cool touch of the metal.

Crumbling something - You could do this with breadcrumbs for kitchen magic or a bath bomb for bath magic (I wouldn’t crumble a bath bomb imo but I have heard some people prefer to do that.) Guide your intent to your hands and let it over whelm the object in your palms.

Stepping on something - This could be very destructive and great for curses.

Walking around it - Walking around an object features a lot in folk lore, perhaps you could use it to slowly build up intent and magical energy within you? 

Throwing or juggling - Juggling is a great skill to learn and I can well and truly say kinetic energy is magical very powerful, throwing and catching something in the air until your satisfied is a fantastic way of enchantment, the weight as you catch it in your hand and watching it fly in the air is just fantastic.

Rubbing it to give it body heat - This is very physical, you can feel the warmth you’ve transferred to this object and its very responsive as well.

I use touch when I’m doing plant magic. I still visualize the energy I’m working with, but I need the touch too. Running my fingers gently over leaves to pass along energy to grow on, digging my fingers in the soil while transplanting, brushing the bark of a tree or pressing my forehead to it while I ground, etc. Kitchen magic tends to be very tactile too. Chopping ingredients, kneading dough, working spices into meat, all sorts of cooking require touching the food. All excellent chances to use to touch to enchant things. ✨
