You cast a spell to get that job you want. What about another person who needs the job and the money?

You cast a spell to get that house/apartment you want. What about another person who needs a new place to live/needs to move asap?

You cast a spell to receive immediate medical treatment. What about another sick person who also desperately needs that appointment slot?

Witchy assignments are bi-weekly things you can do to further your practice. They are usually more hands-on but don't usually involve much physical exertion. Feel free to modify the assignments as necessary! These are personal assignments and you shouldn't feel obliged to share them, though I'm always happy to see what you come up with! <3

This week we're making a witch/spell powder!!

Here's what you need:

Herbs, spices, etc that you can crush up.

Mortar and pestle

Spice grinder/coffee grinder (optional)

Container for the powder

Here's what you do:

Start with the spell creation aspect, so you'll want to ask yourself some questions about the who, what, when, etc. For more info on spell crafting, see my spell crafting master post!

Since this is just another type of spell, you'll treat it exactly like any other spell. So if you're the kind of person who needs to cleanse all your tools, ingredients, etc then this is the time to do it.

Now we're going to gather the herbs, spices, etc that you want to use in your spell and crush the heck out of them. Make sure to use DRY plants otherwise, it won't be a powder, it'll be a paste. Use the mortar and pestle or the grinder for this.

Once you've thoroughly crushed your ingredients you'll want to put it into a container. The powder can last a while as it's all dried material so it likely won't mold.

What can you do with a spell powder?

Great question!

Dust it on your shoes (especially if you're trying to attract something as it will go with you wherever you go)

Dust it on your car, could be on the car floor or on the outside of your car

Dust it on jewelry

Dust it on a mirror for glamour spells

Dust it onto a candle for a spell (make sure it's a very fine powder that leaves very little residue so as not to set it on fire lol)

Sprinkle it onto your carpet (make sure to vacuum it soon after if you

Sprinkle it onto the outside entrance windows of your house (only if there's nothing sugary so that you don't attract bugs).

Daily affirmations: Start your day by setting an intention or saying a positive affirmation that aligns with your goals and values. This can help you stay focused and grounded throughout the day.

Gratitude journaling: Take a few minutes each day to write down three things you're grateful for. This can help cultivate a sense of appreciation and abundance in your life.

Mindful breathing: Take a few deep, mindful breaths throughout the day to center yourself and release any tension or stress.

Moon-watching: Take a few moments to observe the moon each night, noting its phase and any changes in its appearance. You can also keep a moon journal to track your observations and feelings.

Elemental meditation: Spend a few minutes each day meditating on the elements (earth, air, fire, water) and their associated qualities. You can visualize yourself surrounded by each element and focus on how they make you feel.

Herbal tea rituals: Incorporate herbal teas into your daily routine and take a few moments to mindfully prepare and enjoy them. You can also research the magical properties of different herbs and choose teas based on their correspondences.

Candle magic: Light a candle and set an intention for the day or visualize your goals and desires coming to fruition. You can also choose candles based on their color correspondences for added potency.

Sigil drawing: Create a simple sigil to represent your intention or desire, and draw it on your skin, clothing, or a piece of paper. You can also charge your sigil with energy by visualizing it glowing with light or energy.

Crystal charging: Choose a crystal that aligns with your intention or desired outcome and hold it in your hand or place it on your body. Visualize the crystal absorbing your energy and amplifying your intentions.

Nature appreciation: Take a few moments each day to appreciate the natural world around you, whether it's the beauty of a flower or the majesty of a tree. You can also connect with nature by taking a walk, gardening, or spending time in a park or forest.

Remember, these are just a few examples of simple, low-energy witchcraft practices you can incorporate into your daily routine. The most important thing is to find practices that resonate with you and align with your personal values and beliefs.

It's important to remember that everyone's energy levels and circumstances are different, and there may be times when you simply don't have the energy or motivation to practice witchcraft. This doesn't make you any less of a witch, or any less magickal. It's okay to take a break and focus on self-care and nurturing yourself. Remember, your magick is always within you, and you can connect with it in your own way, on your own time. Be kind and gentle with yourself, and trust that the universe will support you wherever you are on your journey.

It's ok to not feel ready for shadow work, to not want to do shadow work, to never do any shadow work at all.
