5 Ways to Do Witchcraft With a Sewing Kit
You don't need fancy tools to practice the craft, hell you don't actually need anything at all to make magick happen. But if you're anything like me, sometimes you just need to do something with your hands to feel like you're doing anything at all. That's why I keep an emergency sewing kit in my bag, even though I can't sew for shit lol.
How I use it:
I’ve never found a spell I haven’t been able to do with just a single piece of thread.
Every color serving its purpose, corresponding to various aspects of our lives; green for money, red for love and desire, yellow for friendship, blue for communication, purple for magic, brown for grounding, etc.
And if you’re limited to the barest of basics? That’s okay too. Black or white will do in a pinch.
Black for anything that I want to protect, banish, stop, or relate to Hekate’s domain as my patron deity.
White for healing, or anything I want to draw into myself.
Just cut your piece of thread and focus on your intent while tying your knots to solidify your will. If you’re familiar with numerology and how it relates to what you’re trying to do, feel free to apply that knowledge. Or just tie them until you feel confident it is done. Personally, I'm fond of sets of 3.
Aside from their practical use, can be consecrated and used to sever the ties of old habits, cut toxic people from your life, or set you free from anything holding you back from being who you want or having the life you want to live.
If the thread is symbolic of fate, the power to change that fate can be found in a pair of scissors.
These can be enchanted to be anything you need, from protective shields to good luck charms. They can act as amulets you can sew into your clothing, or carry like worry stones to remind you of your goal or power.
Alternatively, they can be eyes for poppets, or wards to place in your home; inconspicuous little guards to keep your space and energy clear of negative influence.
Not too different from buttons in that they’re another convenient, inconspicuous way to carry a protective amulet.
Worried about losing your magical button?
Don’t know how to, or even want to sew something into a garment?
Enchant your safety pin and secure it in place for as long as you need it with you. Take it off at the end of the day. You can even recharge it for the next time you need it.
I also love using them as little nets to trap negativity before it can touch me, similar to your traditional evil eye amulets, though a bit more accessible.
Just as versatile as the other tools, if not more so. You can use them to inscribe your intent into candles. You can use them as protective wards by placing them, crossed, into your curtains, or under your doormat at the entrance of your home.
Enchant them with your intent before using them in mundane ways too; like for comfort and safety before using one to repair a hole in your child’s favorite stuffed animal.
Like everything when it comes to witchcraft; the possibilities are only as limited as your imagination.
