The finished bottle spell for healing for Dan. Who knew making a wax “bead” out of liquid wax and hair would be so fun? (And HARD?)

The first thing I did was make this string of beads.

When tossing around ideas for this stuff with a friend, she mentioned a rosary and decades of beads in relation to…something else, but the idea stuck in the back of my mind. So this isn’t any sort of rosary, rather it’s a visualization of how much time to live my friend should have - 100 beads for 100 years, divided up into decades, starting from a “bead” made of taglock hair & wax from a purpose-bought candle, and ending with a skull bead to represent death. (I feel like I should note that I had extra trouble stringing beads # 76 & #92, so Dan, if you’re reading, watch out for those years? :P ) Underneath the beads in the bottle are: Aventurine - speeds healing Amethyst - calmness, peace Carnelian - dispels depression, health Hematite - health Orange Calcite - protection Clear Quartz x2 - health, boosts other ingredients Dan’s hair Bay Leaves - health, purification Cinnamon Stick pieces - health Garlic Powder - health, protection Rue - health Rose Buds - health Allspice Berries - health Balm of Gilead “tears” - health Rose Hips - health Rowan Berries - protection, health Candied Ginger - health, protection Pine Needles - purification, health Lemon Balm - health Peppermint- health, purification Spearmint - health Stinging Nettles - health, purification Rosemary - protection, health

Ingredient correspondences are a mix of my own thoughts and Cunningham’s encyclopedias. I am amused by some of the things that have healing correspondences - things like ginger, garlic, berries (ie: things that are used medicinally for health benefits!).

Reblogging because I added a ton to the description.

Sending good thoughts!

Rainy’s Wind Charm Tutorial

By Rainy-Day-Witchcraft

    In the lore and history of weather witchery, it was common of weather witches to create and sell knotted rope charms to sailors, as it was believed these charms would help enchant the wind in the ship’s favor. These charms were made by venturing to a high-windswept place, and tying certain sailers knots into rope to capture the wind while imbuing them with magick ~ sometimes multiple knots were tied, meant to contain winds of different strengths.

   While reading about these wind charms, I was inspired to write a more modern project tutorial on how to make such a charm, though mine will be a touch more decorated! These wind charms can be hung above a porch or in a window to encourage a wind to blow away storm clouds, to represent wind or air in a spell or ritual, to summon a wind (similar to wind whistling), and for any other wind-related uses you might find you need witchcraft-wise. 

 Materials:

  • Thick twine or medium rope of your choice
  • Dried lemongrass or anise
  • A branch or piece of alder, oak, or scotch broom
  • Beads, bells, small bottles, and decorative elements

 Capturing Wind

   The first step, of course, is to capture the wind using knot magick ~ The knotted rope will serve as the base of the wind charm. You can begin with a plain rope, or make it thicker or more decorative by braiding or macrame-ing multiple smaller ropes together beforehand. This first step is the longest in the tutorial, as it will take some time to find the right conditions. Traditionally, three single knots are made in a rope ~ But for this tutorial, we are going to be knotting the rope three times, each consisting of more smaller knots, to capture and represent different buildups of wind energy - If you wish, you can replace the knots with different sailors knots, if you know how to do so. Here’s how to do this:

  • Near the top of the rope (leaving a section of 5-7 inches for hanging, depending on the length you make it), you will knot it 3 times in the same place during a day or in a place where the wind is gentle, like a breeze. As you do this, recite:

Tied of three, knots capture this breeze

Contained by my hand and quelled upon these skies

The gentle air I seize - For my swift magickal disposition

  • A few inches below the previous knot, near the middle, you will be knotting it 5 times in the same place during a day or in a place where the wind is stronger; not a breeze, yet not a strong wind ~ somewhere in the middle. As you do this, recite:

Tied of five, knots gained of brisk wind

Direct and ardent as I exert its’ energy

With my intent and by my will - Magickally intertwined

  • Near the end of the rope, leaving a few inches hanging off the end, knot the last one 7 times at the same point during a day or in a place where the wind is strong and powerful, such as during a storm or on a high ground frequented by strong winds. As you do this, recite:

Tied of seven, knotted storms of the heavens

Vigorous and powerful,

Energy of formidable wind - Seals my magick of air

(Feel free to replace my chants with your own)

 Decorating and Imbuing 

Step 1. ⌇ Between the first and second knots, and between the second and third knots, we’ll be adding herbs associated specifically with wind magick to keep your charm charged and functional. 

In the first empty length of rope, tie a bundle of dried lemongrass or dried anise - both strongly tied to the element of air. Or instead (how I made mine), get a small-ish corked bottle, and add the herbs to the bottle in smaller pieces ~ Attach the bottle into the charm - which I especially enjoy the look of! 

In the second empty length of rope below the second knot and above the third, tie in a branch or chunk of alder wood, oak wood, or a bundle of scotch broom. Again, you can break the ingredient(s) into smaller pieces and instead put them into a bottle to attach to the charm if you wish. Both alder and oak were traditionally used in making flutes, whistles, and ‘bullroarers’ for whistling up winds, and scotch broom is used in weather brooms, spells, and charms to call up winds. (Tip: scotch broom is the most connected to weather witchery out of the three, so I suggest finding a place to buy or collect some specially for this charm)

Step 2. ⌇ Now that the magickal materials are on the charm, you can decorate it however you like ~ For mine, I attached colorful glass beads and tiny bells; Other items to use connected to wind and the air element include feathers, ribbons, the colors yellow and white, and bits of shining metal or glass, etc. If you worship a deity tied to the weather, skies, or winds, a figure or symbol of them may be added.

Step 3. ⌇ Once your charm is to your liking, hang it up on a porch or in a window or doorway. On days when you don’t wish to call or whistle the wind to you, remove the charm ~ You can hang it on a wall for decoration when not in use, or just put it in a bag or box until you need it again. 

Personal note: The day I finished making mine and went to hang it in the window, I looked out my bedroom window to see a small ‘tornado’ of dust (we get them commonly in the dry seasons out here) quickly form and dispel in the backyard area nearest me!

"Let It Snow" Curse

To make others give one’s target the cold shoulder, expose all deeds and misdeeds of one’s target, and bring general misfortune to one’s target.

Materials

  • clean glass jar with screw-on lid
  • figurine representing target
  • hot glue gun or other waterproof sealant
  • water
  • glycerin or baby oil
  • glitter
  • tiny white or silver-colored beads
  • stirring utensil
  • black salt

Procedure

1. For the figurine, you can use a fast food kids’ meal toy, a figurine made of clay or glass or ceramic, or even Play-Doh sculptures that you can oven-dry and seal. Do whatever you want to designate it as your target, be it by writing their name on it, making a sigil in Sharpie, or having the figurine resemble them.

2. Whatever figurine you use, you will have to adhere it to the lid of the jar. If you do use hot glue, be careful as it goes without saying that it is hot. Let the glue or sealant dry thoroughly, and/or as instructed on the product’s packaging. When it’s dry, carefully wiggle the figurine around to make sure it’s secure. If it isn’t, apply more glue or sealant, or try a different product.

3. Take your materials to a large kitchen sink, since things may get messy. Fill the jar with water right before the screw threads. Add a splash of glycerin or baby oil, which will make the “snow” fall slower. Add in the glitter and/or beads and salt, and stir everything up. Now fill the jar to its brim, to prevent air bubbles.

4. Put the jar in the sink basin. Apply glue or sealant to the threads of the lid. Carefully settle the figurine into the jar, allowing excess water to pour out due to displacement. When the lid is completely on the brim, screw it closed tight and let the glue or sealant solidify.

5. Once the snow globe is done, hold it however you can and recite this variation of “Let It Snow”. 

Oh, the weather inside is frightful, But the facts are so delightful. And since you’ve no place to go, Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
It doesn’t show signs of stopping, So your social life is flopping. Your spirits start to sink low. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
When you finally meet a blight, How I’ll love that you’re out in a storm! May no one hold you really tight, And may you not ever be warm.
The facts aren’t worth denying, And, you jerk, don’t you go dying, For as long as I hate you so, Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

6. Shake the snow globe to enforce the curse. You could also gift it to your target and let them do all the work.

Sternly End a Relationship

While I’m a general fan of simple communication (‘fuck off’) to end relationships, sometimes that doesn’t work out. Spellwork can be a viable alternative.

I will say now that this spell is not enough to take care of an abusive relationship on its own. In this circumstance I recommend reaching out to friends and family, and as much personal protection as you can.

This is a simultaneous banishment, binding, and protection. Please closely follow all the directions.

Ingredients:

  • Two lengths of black thread or yarn, at least 12 inches long each.
  • Two beads of different colors, one of which you will throw away (possible substitutions: action figures, yarn knots, scrap wax, etc – it doesn’t really matter what the items are).
  • Scissors
  • Glue (if desired)
  • A tea light or other candle, or an electric light

Take one bead. This represents yourself. View your entire life as being contained in this bead. Name the bead: “This is me, [full name]. This bead represents me.”

Take the other bead. This represents the other person you wish to get rid of. Imagine the entirety of their lives within the bead. Name it: “This is [full name of the banished one]. This bead represents them.”

The thread is the bond that holds you two together.

Gently tie one end of the thread to your bead. Ensure that you can easily separate the thread from the bead. Say, “I am bound to [full name of the banished one]. We are tied together.”

Tie the other end of the thread to the second bead. Again ensure that the thread can easily be snipped off or untied. Say, “[Full name of the banished one] is bound to me. We are tied together.”

Observe the state of you two being bound together. This is not at all what you want – so take the scissors. Say, “the binding between myself and [full name of the banished one] will now be undone. It will be ended, by my power I will end it.”

Take the thread that connects the two beads, and simply snip it in half. Say,

“This binding is undone. This binding is ended. We are separated. We are together no more.”

The black thread is still tied to both beads. Take your bead and remove the black thread from it (untie the knot or cut with scissors). Say, “the remnants of [full name of the banished one] are no longer upon me. They no longer bother me. I am free.”

Do the same for the other bead. Say, “the remnants of my relationship with [full name of the banished one] are no longer upon them. He/she/they are freed. I no longer bother them.”

The banishing has been complete. Now the binding and protection begin, so a new connection cannot be made. First, bind:

Take the second length of black thread. Say, “this is a new binding for [full name of the banished one]. He/she/they will no longer be allowed to contact me in any way. He/she/they will no longer be allowed to harm me. He/she/they cannot bother me in any way, or else they will be constricted by these black bonds.”

Wrap the thread or yarn around the bead until you have only enough left to tie it off. If you wish, use glue to ensure the binding will never come free.

Say, “the new binding is complete.”

Take this bead and throw it away in your outdoors dumpster or trashcan. Ensure it does not remain in your home even a moment longer.

Begin the protection.

Take your bead to the light of the candle or other electric light. Hold it as close as you can the source without burning yourself. Say, “the light of this candle/bulb washes away all darkness that the nameless one left on me. I am purified by this light. The light of the candle/bulb protects me, just as the sun protects against shadows. I am protected from the nameless one. I am safe. I am protected and I am safe.”

Spend time near the candle or light for as long as you wish. When you are done, hold the bead and say:

“Your job is done. The magic has been cast. You no longer represent me. Thank you for your help.” Put the bead in a little salt and let it sit, so any remnants of ‘you’ are washed away from it.

The spell is now complete. Eat a snack and watch a show.
