Itās been a hot minute since I posted a spell or craft. Hereās one thatās both.
This is budget friendly and super low energy. Itās based on the Hearthstone in World of Warcraft (because you know me, I love my pop culture witchery). In Warcraft, your Hearthstone allows you to teleport back to oneĀ āhomeā location anywhere in the game. You find an innkeeper, tell him to set that location asĀ āhomeā, and then after that, you can return to that spot any time you choose no matter how far away you are.
Thatās the idea weāre harnessing here.Ā āThereās no place like homeā, if you will. Sometimes Iām out in a public place and I get overloaded and really need to go home, or Iām having a really difficult day at work and I donāt want to be there anymore. I keep this stone in my pocket and then just hold it when I need a breather. I use my stone to get myself to aĀ āhomeā mindset, giving me a feeling of safety and calm. (If you want to go to the extra effort, you could enchant your stone to be aĀ āgo home earlyā charm if you want to physicallyĀ go home, but thatās up to you.)
A rock from your chosen home location
Paint or a marker (light blue if youāre sticking with the Warcraft theme, but as usual, you do you, boo)
Thatās it. Thatās literally all the materials you need.
Now, I sayĀ āchosen home locationā. My rock is from my yard at my house. For some people, their house is where they want to escape from, not return to, and thatās okay. You can also choose a rock from your school, your friendās house, a park you love, or wherever you feel the most safe.
Hereās the beauty of the spell: The rock is already charged and cleansed because itās been hanging out in the ground like rocks do, absorbing all thatĀ āhomeā energy.
Give the rock a clean, but NOT a cleanse. You donāt want to clear out the energy your rock already has, but you do want to make sure youāre not carrying around any gross bacteria in your pocket. Soap, water, maybe some rubbing alcohol or something, but leave the salt and incense smoke out of it.
Paint or draw on the swirl symbol you see above. (If warcraft isnāt your jam and you have a different symbol you associate with home, or you want to make a sigil, go right ahead.)
Thatās it. Youāre done. The ground already did all the work for you, so you donāt need to expend any of your own energy.
