Presenting: A simple pendulum board!
For those of you who donât know what pendulum divination is, or how to use a board: fret not, there is a post in the queue that will answer your questions.
For those of you who do, feel free to print this board, use it as a template, tilt your laptop screen back enough that you can sort of use your pendulum over it- whatever youâd like.
What is pendulum divination? As the name suggests, this is divining using a pendulum as a tool. You can buy a ready made pendulum, or make one yourself by tying any weighted object to the end of a string. Something like a necklace can work just fine as a pendulum, also.Â
How is it done? Pendulum divination can be performed with or without a pendulum board. To use a board, lay it on a flat surface and sit in front of it. Hold your pendulum by its chain directly over the board. When youâre ready, ask a question (out loud or in your head), and wait for the pendulum to move towards one of the phrases. This might take seconds, or minutes! Thereâs no way of knowing until it happens.Â
Starting off with a simple question before moving on to any more serious ones is a good idea- This becomes especially important when divining without a board.Â
This requires âprogrammingâ your pendulum first. Once again, sit down holding your pendulum by the chain over a flat surface. Ask your pendulum to show you a âyesâ. In time, your pendulum will begin to swing in a certain way- left to right, in a circle, up and down- Whatever direction, this means âyesâ. Ask your pendulum to show you ânoâ. Whichever way your pendulum responds this time means ânoâ.Â
Starting off with simple questions allows you to get the feel of the pendulum, and makes sure you understand it properly. When you feel more confident, you can advance to trickier questions.

Let's Talk About Hagstones
Hagstones are rocks with naturally occurring holes in them. These rocks are usually found by bodies of water, and the hole is created by erosion from the water. I personally also consider shells with holes in them hagstones.
Hagstones are considered to be good luck, to help with fertility, protection, healing, and seeing and communicating with spirits.
Some claim the only way to use a hagstone at "full" power is buy finding it yourself or if it was given to you as a gift. Some people even say it has no power if you buy it yourself. "It only works if you find it yourself." I honestly think that's some superstitious (and slightly ablist) bs because mine were purchased and work just fine. Don't let superstition stop you from buying a pretty rock.
Anyways, here are some other superstitions regarding hagstones:
It is said that hagstones can ward off or attract the fae, as well as see through glamours. if you wish to attract some, you can pour morning dew through a Hag Stone hole and anoint yourself with it.Â
It's said that if you find a large hagstone, big enough to walk through, if you walk through with your partner you'll be blessed with a baby.
To have a good dream and calm mind tie one to your bedpost.
Nailing a hagstone to a boat will disperse oncoming storms
To make a wish come true place a hagstone in your left hand and rub it clockwise while thinking about your wish.
Tie them to something you want to protect to protect it.
Some say if you hold a hagstone you can't lie.
I personally keep one infront of my scrying mirror to keep spirits from leaving the mirror. I haven't anointed my stone with morning dew or seen much but looking through it definitely gives me a strange feeling. It definitely feels like a film infront of the world has been stripped away when you look through it.
Either way it's a pretty and cool rock
one word spells
As long as you can focus your energy and set your intention your spell should work, so Iâve designed these 5 spells using just one word for a Witch who needs a quick fix.
Mariquil
Pronounced mar-e-quil
Used to calm a temper or an upset person. From the latin word for sea, mare, and the english word tranquil. Essentially you are calling the sea inside them to be still. For better results cast with wet hands.
Univert
Pronounced Uni-var
Used for faster transport. I use it at the train station to have a shorter wait time but really its designed for traffic lights. By combining uni from universe and vert,the french word for green, youâre essentially asking the universe to make your path green.
Visididen
Pronounced Vis-e-did-en
Used to go unnoticed or invisible. Taken from the english words vision and hidden. For best results chant it softly while visualising yourself turning transparent.
Lapagna
Pronounced Lap-ag-na
Used when you just need someone to shut the f**k up but are too polite to say so. Taken from the Latin words lapis and magna, meaning stone and voice. For best results hold a stone or some earth while casting, if theyâre really pissing you off just throw the stone or dirt at them.
Bavarignis
pronounced Bav-are-ig-ni
Used to strike up a conversation or to continue a conversation. Taken from the French word bavarder, which means chat, and the Latin word ignis, which means fire. Basically youâre asking for the conversation to spark or catch fire. For best results flick a lighter in your pocket or light a match.
I AM SO HERE FOR MAGIC WORDS.
make your own holidays
Absolutely.
Make a holiday when the last frost melts away and the soil can be broken with hands that go white with cold; make a holiday when the first frost comes to coat the leaves and steal the last of the life from a post-harvest garden.
Make offerings when the lilacs bloom and their herald scent calls the dead that linger to your beckoning arms, set fires and dance around them when the tomatoes flower and the bumblebees come back. Steal corn from the fields when it is ripe and call it a solemnity; fast when the creek freezes over and you must leave a piece of yourself behind to recover next year. Feast when the mulberries are ripe and cut switches of raspberry vines to decorate your altar, sacrifice the first of the morels to the timber you pulled them from, placate the river spirits at the first flood of the year to stave off the wrath of another set of churning banks.
make a day of honor when the sun is at her hottest, bathe in the cut-cold of the streams when the melting snow makes them swell once again to full.
Why wait for the holidays that mean nothing to you and your craft? The violets are blooming, it's time to begin again.
I canât agree more.
One of the best decisions weâve made in the service of our Craft was using our instincts, spiritual communication, and connections to the nature we live within to forge personally significant seasonal Sabbaths. Having the pulse of the Land to guide us and our propitiations with its intimate rhythm has truly been a boon.

Witchcraft doesnât require fancy, glittery wands, swords or chalices. Your altar doesnât have to look like a scene from Game of Thrones (unless you want it to). In fact, there are everyday household items that most people have in their house that can be used in witchcraft. These household staples are just as powerful as a store-bought magical tool (if not moreso). So get ready to check around your house for these magical items and get to witchinâ!
1. Sugar
Almost everyone has a bowl or canister of sugar in their kitchen. But did you know sugar has magical properties? Sugar comes from a plant called sugar cane thatâs been grown in the South for centuries. Use sugar in love spells or to sweeten someoneâs attitude.
2. Mirror
Have you read our article about haunted and magic mirrors? Mirrors are connected to water and represent our emotions, intuition, and dreams. BUT mirrors can also be portals to other worlds. Use mirrors in candle spells to reflect magick back at a person, scry your future in the mirror, and cast a little glamour magick while looking in the mirror.
3. Candles
This is an obvious one, but should be mentioned. If you canât afford to go out and buy a bunch of new candles solely for witchcraft, use the candles you have around the house. Birthday candles and votives are great for candle spells! Candles also give off a magical ambiance and set the mood for casting and ritual.
4. Ribbons and String
Whether itâs a rogue shoelace, ribbon, yarn or string, this is a staple any witch can use in her magick. The easiest magick with string is knot magick. But ribbons and string can also be used to draw out your magick circle on the floor, decorate the house for Beltane and Midsummer, or can be enchanted and worn on oneâs person as an amulet or talisman. Not to mention you can tie up a spell bag or mojo bag with a piece of yarn or ribbon!
5. Refrigerator/Freezer
Say what? How does one use the refrigerator or freezer in witchcraft? Easy! Are you dealing with a âhotâ situation with angry relatives or co-workers? Write the situation and people involved on a piece of paper, roll it up, and pop it in the fridge to cool everyone down. The freezer works to âfreezeâ a fast-moving situation or stop a person from making any decisions. Donât forget you can freeze a name or situation by putting it in water and popping it in the freezer.
6. Broom
Everyone has a broom in their house for cleaning purposes. But the broom has been a magical tool of witches for centuries. Start at the front of the house and move counter-clockwise, sweep the negativity from each room out the back door! Turn the broom bristles up when not in use, especially if itâs behind a door or in a corner.
7. Honey
Also found in the kitchen of many homes is a jar or bottle of honey. Honey has been used in the Hoodoo tradition for centuries to sweeten someone up. While sticky, honey can be used to dress a candle for a love spell (lightly), or spells can be covered in honey and sealed up in a jar. Honey is also a great offering to love gods and goddesses and the ocean. Anoint your power points to take on the likeness of the bee.
8. Jars and Bottles
Speaking of jars and bottles, why not save your pickle jars, spice bottles and other glass containers to use in future spells? Clean them out thoroughly, then cleanse them with smoke or the elements, before making witch bottles, jars, or storing your spell ingredients and herbs.
9. Tea Kettle
Super easy magick involves making a simple cup of tea! Your tea kettle becomes a ritual tool for relaxation, medicine, and magick on a daily basis. Draw symbols of power over the tea kettle with your finger while waiting for the water to boil. Learn more about tea witchcraft here. Who doesnât love the comforting whistle of grandmaâs old tea kettle? That was magic in and of itself.
10. Stockpot or Crockpot
Cauldrons were once standard in our ancestorsâ homes found at the hearth. Now our kitchen is the hearth of the house and our cauldrons are our pots and pans. Use your stockpot or crockpot to cook magickal meals or simmer magickal potpourris. Iâve also made herbal infusions and decoctions with my stockpot. And brew a floor wash in your stockpot before cleaning your floors!
11. Soap
And now youâre thinking is she crazy? Soap can be used in witchcraft? To that I say, of course! When washing in the morning or at night, use your bar of soap in a downwards fashion from head to feet to cleanse yourself of all negative vibes. You can even buy soaps made by witches for specific purposes!
12. Clothing
Everyone has to wear clothes, right? Why not enchant your clothing before putting them on? Select certain colors for certain intentions. For example, wear pink when you want to increase the romance in your life. Wear green when you want to attract more money. Shoes and jewelry are also magical tools common in every household.
13. Buttons
Have a jar of buttons you donât know what to do with? Use the buttons in your witchcraft. Add them to your spell bags and adorn your poppets. Buttons make great eyes and noses for poppets. Sew buttons into a pattern or symbol inside a jacket or coat to align with a magical intention.
14. Flour
Every house has a bag of canister of flour in the kitchen. Flour is typically made from wheat, rice or corn so it also carries the magical properties of the plant from which itâs made. Obviously, flour can be used to make magical breads and pies, BUT you can also use it to draw out circles and sigils on the ground.
15. Bathtub
If you have a bathtub or shower, you have access to an incredibly magical experience. A safe place where you can connect with the water element. Take a shower to cleanse away negative vibes from the day, or add herbs and flowers to your bath to cast spells for money, success, love, etc.
16. Paper and Pen
Every household has paper and pen or pencil, right? We take the ability to write for granted in modern times, but many of our ancestors were never taught how to write. Nor did they have access to paper and writing utensils. Write your spells on a piece of paper, then burn the paper to release the magick. You can also bury the paper, freeze it, cut it in shreds and watch it blow away, etc. Paper and pen are also important when keeping notes on spells and ritual.
17. Books
Speaking of paper, books are magical items in many different ways. Not only do they educate and entertain us, but they can also be used in witchcraft. Press a special flower, plant, or feather in your favorite book. Later when you open the book, your magical item will fall out and bring you luck! Ask a question to the universe, then flip a book open to a random spot. Whatever sentence your eyes land on will be your answer!
18. Milk
Milk is a staple in many familyâs refrigerators. If you have cowâs milk, you have an ingredient with magical properties of motherhood, nourishment, protection and abundance. Cook or bake with it or add a bit of it to the bathtub. Almond and coconut milk also have magical properties related to the plants from which they are made.
19. Spices
Iâll bet you have a drawer or cabinet filled with random herbs and spices in your kitchen. If so, you have access to a plethora of magical herbs! Cinnamon, oregano, pepper, cumin, parsley, curry, cilantro, and basil are just a few of the magical herbs most people have right in their kitchen! Learn more about magical kitchen spices here.
20. Coffee Pot
You know that wonderful machine that brews a magical potion every morning to wake us out of our slumber? Yeah, the coffee pot is just as magical as a cauldron! Enchant it by drawing a symbol in the air over top. Then sip your coffee and thank the coffee gods for energy and vitality!
21. House Plants
I think a lot of people forget that house plants are just as magical as herbs or flowers in the garden! Succulents, ivies, and small trees all have their own magical properties. Gather fallen leaves and foliage, dry and use in your spells. Place a jade plant by the front door to bring in abundance. Etc.
22. Salt
Is there anything more purifying and protective than salt? I bet you have some in your kitchen! If so, salt can be used in the bathtub, sprinkled around candles in spells, left in a bowl on the altar for purification, sprinkled in the corners of the house and on windowsills. And so much more!
23. Ancestral Heirlooms
Did your grandmother give you a quilt? Did you inherit a special item from your uncle or father? Ancestral heirlooms are some of the most powerful items to have in oneâs home. They tie you directly to your ancestors! Place them on the ancestral altar or simply hold in your hand while praying to the ancestors to bridge the gap between you and your passed loved ones.
24. Seashells
You know those seashells you gathered at the beach last summer? Are they sitting in a drawer somewhere not being used? Add them to the altar to represent the water element, encircle a candle to aid in fertility and water magic spells, or make them into a necklace for magical use.
25. Olive Oil
If you have olive oil in your house, you have the ability to bless and anoint your home and magical tools. Dab a little on your index finger and draw protective symbols on the doorways and windows. You can also use olive oil to anoint your third eye and chakras before ritual. Infuse herbs into oils and use to anoint candles, tools, etc. Learn more about making herb-infused oils here.
26. Silver Bowl
If you have a silver bowl or vase, pour water in it and leave it to charge under the next full moon. BAM. Instant moon water. Silver bowls and plates are also great for candle spells and offerings.
27. Animal Figurines
My great grandmother gave me a small owl figurine made of glass. I now keep it in my living room and it watches over my magical workings. If you have any animal figurines around the house, you can turn these into your magical guardians. Click here to learn more.
28. Knife
One of the first magical tools I ever used was a kitchen knife. Back when I was a teenager, Wicca was the main witchcraft movement and it ârequiredâ using an athame for many rituals and spells. If you have an old kitchen knife, you have an athame. Even if youâre not Wiccan, a knife can be used to carve symbols and letters into candles. It can be used to cut things in half like twine, string, etc. It can also be used to draw symbols into the earth for ritual.
29. Bell
Whether small or large, a bell is a household item that has cleansing properties. Ring it a few times and send negative energy and spirits running. It can also be used to signal the start to a ritual or gathering.
30. Sewing Machine
Do you have a sewing machine? Time to make magical altar cloths, tablecloths, curtains, clothing and more! Iâve also used my sewing machine to make magical cloaks and poppets. Cleanse it and enchant it for added magical effects!

Witchcraft 101: Core concepts (energy work)
Youâve probably heard âenergy workâ mentioned, or at least one of the following terms: grounding, shielding, cleansing, raising, charging, visualising, casting. Youâll see these terms in spells and rituals as well as textbooks and theoretical discussions. There are other posts for theory; this post aims to give a rundown of multiple basic concepts of energy work to get you up and running. (Or at least, to help you understand other posts.) Bear in mind that much of this is personal opinion. Since everyone sees energy differently, in my âhow-tosâ Iâll refer to energy generally - fill in your own views.Â
Also, in my methods, I mention âget comfortableâ a lot - exactly what that means varies, depending on what Iâm doing and wearing, but generally, stop fiddling with anything, and make sure youâre in a comfortable position, whatever the position is. You could be standing, sitting, lying down, moving, dancing - whatever, so long as youâre comfortable.Â
Visualising
What is visualisation?
I consider visualisation to be a core concept to energy work in general. Visualisation is, essentially, thought. Itâs imagination and memory and emotions all rolled up into one. (This is heavy on personal opinion, by the way.) Visualisation is what makes your intent for a spell come to fruition; if you arenât holding your intent (i.e. thinking about/visualising it) while casting it, you canât expect your spell to work the way you intended it to.Â
How do you visualise?
As mentioned above, everyone sees energy differently, and your way may not be the same as mine. My basic visualisation method can be seen in the way I do any time of energy work: I get comfortable, close my eyes and steady my breath, and I focus on feeling and âseeingâ the energy around me (I view all energy as white, incidentally). Say Iâm cleansing something, my first step is to hold the object, focus on how it feels (is it cold, smooth, rough?) and âseeâ it glowing with a white light (energy). Then Iâll move onto cleansing it (see below).Â
Your method will be different, but you could start with this or look through other posts for ideas.Â
Grounding
What is grounding?
Grounding, basically, is all about ridding yourself of unwanted energy/getting your energy in balance. I kind of view it as a warm-up: youâre getting yourself in the right frame of mind and the right physical state before a workout (or spell).Â
How do you ground yourself?
Everyone has their own techniques, and in time, youâll develop yours. This is my routine:
Get comfortable.
Close your eyes and focus on your breathing.Â
As you exhale, imagine unwanted energy leaving your body.
As you inhale, imagine the energy you want and need pulling comfortably around you.Â
Continue for as long as you like.Â
Many people like to visualise different places, or contact with nature. Try different techniques and take what you like from them, and just go with what works for you.Â
Cleansing
What is cleansing?
Cleansing is like setting a device back to factory settings, or washing the dishes so they can be used again. You cleanse something to rid it of any unwanted energies - kind of like grounding, but for something that isnât you. You could cleanse spaces and objects, and itâs generally a good idea to cleanse any items youâve used before as well as the space youâre using before beginning a spell. Itâs also generally a good idea to cleanse anything you use for divination, like tarot cards and pendulums (but I totally donât cleanse them as often as I should). You can use just visualisation, or you can use tools - water, salt, incense and sage are all pretty common tools for cleansing.Â
How do you cleanse?
My method for objects that you can hold:
Get comfortable.
Close your eyes and focus on your breathing.
Hold the item and focus on how it feels - its shape, size, temperature, texture, and scent.Â
While holding the item, now focus on how it looks (with or without opening your eyes) - its colour, decorations, the way the light falls/reflects on it.
Still holding the item, visualise energy glowing/pulsing around the object.
Still holding the item, visualise the energy flowing away from the object, leaving it without any glowing energy.
Continue until you feel like the object is cleansed.Â
My method for a space, area, or room:
Clear the space you plan on using (physically - move unwanted objects out of the way, pick up any rubbish etc).
Get comfortable.
Close your eyes and focus on your breathing.
Mark the parameters of the space youâre going to use (this can be a whole room or just part of one - just mentally or physically figure out where the âendsâ of your spell space are). I generally walk around the edges of my space.
Focus on how the space around you feels and looks - temperature, light, textures etc.Â
Visualise energy glowing/pulsing within the boundaries of your space.
Visualise energy flowing away from the space - if you have a broom, you could sweep the area while visualising the energy moving away as you sweep. You could also use incense or herb bundles while visualising energy moving away from the smoke as you move through the space.
Continue until you feel like the space is cleansed.
Warding
What is warding?
Basically, warding is putting up a shield to stop anything unwanted interfering with your spell, tools, ingredients, intent, belongings, etc.. Itâs like an antivirus on a device, or a lock on a door. You could put up wards around your spell space, your home, yourself, anything you own, other people (with their consent) - pretty much anything. Â
How do you put up wards?
My method for putting up wards:
Get comfortable.
Close your eyes and focus on your breathing.
Mark the parameters of the space or thing youâre putting up wards around (this could be running your finger around a crystal, walking around an area, stretching your arms and legs out to mark the parameters of your body, etc.)
Focus on how the space or thing feels and looks - temperature, light, textures etc.
Visualise energy glowing/pulsing within the space or thing.
Visualise unwanted energy flowing away from the space - like with cleansing, you could use incense or a broom to aid your visualisation.
Visualise âwallsâ growing up, over and under the space or object. Itâs important that the walls connect, and there arenât any gaps (unless you want to visualise, say, a door that you can enter and leave from).Â
Continue until you feel like the space or thing is warded.
Raising
What is raising energy?
Raising energy is like creating or compiling energy with a specific purpose (intent). Up until now, weâve been looking at ways of using energy to prepare yourself, your environment and your tools for spells - raising energy is a bit different. The energy that we raise has a specific intent, and generally, we want to use that intent somehow - like in a spell.Â
How do you raise energy?
There are so, so many different ways to raise energy - such as music, chanting, dancing, walking, laughing, exercising, and a whole bunch of others. You can also raise energy by visualisation alone - as I describe here.
My method for raising energy:
Get comfortable.
Close your eyes and focus on your breathing.
If they arenât already, position your hands so that your palms are open.
Focus on what you want to happen - your intent.
Visualise energy pulsing from your fingertips. The energy moves over your fingers and towards your palm, where it collects. As you do this, keep focusing on your intent.
Visualise the energy, now in your palm, growing larger and larger. As you do this, keep focusing on your intent.
Continue until you feel you have the energy you wanted, or for as long as you like.Â
If youâre raising energy from, say, dancing, you might visualise the energy coming from your feet or body instead - I adapt this depending on the activity, but I always like to have a way to âgatherâ energy in one area. This could be your whole spell area, or it could be an area like the palm of your hand - whatever works for you and the activity.Â
Charging
What is charging?
Charging is drawing on energy from elsewhere and putting it into an object to give that object intent. Think charging your phone, or laptop. You can also take energy youâve raised and put it into an object - the energy can come from anywhere. People often have specific correspondences for different sources, however - so think about the source of the energy if you arenât raising it yourself.Â
How do you charge something?
Like with raising energy, there are entirely too many methods to list here. Some examples include leaving objects in sunlight or moonlight and bathing it in water or fire. You can pretty much do anything, so donât be afraid to experiment. If youâre raising energy, you can just put it straight into the object (see the method below). If youâre charging something without raising energy yourself, then you can skip this and consider it charged after as much or as little time as you think works.Â
My method for charging objects:
Get comfortable.
Close your eyes and focus on your breathing.
Visualise the energy, now in your palm, growing larger and larger. (This is the energy collected by raising energy, with a specific intent.)
Hold the object you want to charge (with one hand if you visualised the energy going to one palm, or with both hands if you visualised the energy going to both palms) and visualise the energy flowing into the object from your palm(s). Continue focusing on your intent as you do this.Â
Continue until you feel that all the energy you raised is now in the object, or for as long as you like.Â
Once youâve charged an object, you can leave it indefinitely and use it in a later spell (though if youâre forgetful like me, you might want to put a post-it near it reminding you what youâre using it for).
Casting
What is casting?
Casting is guiding your energy towards the outcome you want. For me, this is the most important part of any spell - this is when you put all that work into making shit happen. So itâs important to be very, very specific. Donât just focus on needing a job. Focus on finding a job that is right for you, will help you meet your professional goals (you can be specific about the goals, too) and will meet your needs (availability, hours, pay, travel time, benefits etc.), and finding that job at a time that suits you. This is also where you can really have fun with visualising!Â
How do you cast?
My method for casting:
Get comfortable.
Close your eyes and focus on your breathing.
Hold the object(s) youâve charged, or your spell (if itâs a tangible thing, like spell bags, candles, food etc.).
Visualise the situation you want to happen. As described, be specific. If youâre looking for a job, you could visualise a âyouâre hiredâ email, dated at some point that suits you, with the above information that suits you - the hours you want, the pay you want, etc. Morph that situation into your first day, meeting friendly and efficient coworkers and management, then six months or a year into your new job. Visualise yourself feeling productive, happy, and relaxed. Visualise yourself at a review, hearing that youâre doing well and youâve made great progress.
Now visualise the energy in your spell moving âtowardsâ that situation. (I like to âkeepâ the situation in one part of my spell space, usually in the air in front of me, so I can âseeâ the energy from the spell Iâm holding moving towards it.Â
Continue until you feel that all the energy from your spell has âmade itâ to the situation, or for as long as you like. Â
Bringing it all together
So, this looks like quite a lot. I promise itâs easier in practice, especially once youâve done it a few times. Also, remember that this is a post that largely focuses on visualisation - you can minimise effort by charging objects in light or water (aka leaving them on a windowsill for a few hours) instead of by using visualisation to raise power and charge them.Â
In practice, a routine for a spell might look like:
Ground yourself.
Cleanse your space, and any tools or ingredients youâre going to use.
Put up wards.
Raise power (you could raise power individually for individual ingredients, or all at once for all your ingredients).
Charge your ingredients (either individually, or all at once).Â
Cast your spell.Â
Personally, I can do the first 3 in about 5-10 minutes altogether. The last three are more time-consuming, and could take 5-10 minutes each, per item. So a quick, simple spell with no ingredients could be cast in 15 minutes (I would just skip charging and put the raised energy straight to casting). Letâs take an example of a kitchen spell, making soup:
Ground self.
Cleanse space, tools, ingredients.
Put up wards around the kitchen.
Raise power while doing food prep.
Put ingredients in pot.
Charge ingredients through stirring - energy goes into the soup through the wooden spoon.
Leave to simmer and continue charging.
Cast spell by eating.Â
When I do kitchen magic, Iâm already doing most of this just by cooking. I just add more visualisation in, and put some thought into the ingredients, and I have a spell!Â
