A spell to bring someone an oppurtunity! That leads them far, far away from you… 

So maybe someone is wearing you down, overstaying their welcome in your life, or just being a pain in the ass. BUT they haven’t done anything to warrant being cursed. That can only mean it’s time to kill them with kindness, or at least chase them away with a blessing!

You will need:

✨Three candles

✨A length of ribbon

✨A coin

✨A box

✨An item representing you

✨An item representing the person you want to banish

To begin:

✨Set up your space to your own witchy preferences, and do whatever you do to prepare for spellwork. 

✨Form a circle, and lay out an item that represents you on one side, and an item that represents them on the opposite side. Put one candle behind each item, and one at the top of the circle. 

✨Stretch the ribbon across the circle, and connect it to both items. Light the candle that sits at the top of the circle. 

✨Sit quietly in front of the spread, and visualize the person in your mind’s eye. There they are, getting on your last nerve. The two of you are surrounded by a shared golden light. But wait, what’s that!?

✨Roll the coin towards their item and out of the circle, “distracting them”

✨As quickly as you can, blow out the candle at the top of the circle, signifying “the winds of change”. Disconnect the ribbon from both items, and turn it 180 degrees so that it now forms a barrier between the items. 

✨Light the candle behind your item, and then the one behind the other. Pick up the coin and pass it through the flame. 

✨When you are satisfied, put your item into a box, and the item representing the other on top of the box. They now have the whole wide world to explore in search of their blessing, while you enjoy being rid of them. Blow the box a kiss and wave it goodbye.

I definitely don’t mind answering, though I may be stepping on some toes with my response! This is probably going to be vv long haha. Basically, I no longer resonate with most of the “New Age” beliefs I used to speak about on this blog. It simply doesn’t vibe with me anymore. My concern with the “New Age” is that it promotes spiritual practices that can be really unhealthy. The reason why I put the term in quotations is because there is no set definition or code of beliefs under the New Age umbrella. The New Age encourages us to combine a myriad of spiritual beliefs, rituals, and practices that are wildly incompatible with one another. This where it can get dangerous and misleading. 

When you dabble in spiritual practices without fully understanding the history and tradition, you are definitely going to get yourself into trouble! We take so many of these spiritual practices completely out of context. The idea of being able to pick apart and essentially create your own religion is really appealing! And building your own spiritual path is possible but only when you take the time to understand the context behind the things we so freely practice. Most of us don’t. Most people aren’t aware of where the twin flame concept originates. Or how to tell the difference between a demon and a spirit guide. Or how to actually work with your chakras based on the original system they were created under.

The whole New Age breed of spirituality is also unnecessarily complicated! For absolutely no reason haha. Buddha, Jesus, Krishna, Muhammad, etc, didn’t speak in illusive and complex language. They didn’t run around asking us to “alchemize the karmic energy in our soul’s akashic blueprints in order to align with our highest vibration” or anything like that. I find that the New Age path can be really confusing and overwhelming. It’s very distorted, disconnected, and often impractical. The ancient religions and beliefs are often far more clear and organized. Shamanism, Paganism, Taoism, Druidry, Christianity, Jainism, etc all have such simple and clear wisdom stored within them. Spirituality has always been simple and accessible. Not necessarily easy, but understandable.

We have fragmented spiritual practices so much that they are no longer an accurate or holistic representation of their predecessors. It is watered down to the point where it no longer holds the same potency. When you mix together spiritual practices that originate from fundamentally incompatible beliefs, you increase the level of danger. I have seen people who dive into the New Age and believe they’re talking to their spirit guides when, really, they’re being guided by demons, negative entities, and ill-intentioned fae. I want to be clear that the practices within the New Age are not dangerous! They are beautiful! What is dangerous is our own ignorance that is perpetuated by the new wave of spirituality. I found myself totally falling into the negative spiral of misinformation and misunderstanding! 

Thankfully, I had the pleasure of connecting with elders of all different religions. I took a class on Hinduism which allowed me to connect with an actual Hindu Brahmin who has dedicated his life to this work. I have studied demonology with Catholic priests and angelology with NDE Mediums. I journeyed with Native Shamans and have taken the time to deeply study Kabbalah. Knowledge is key, my loves! If you want to continue on the path of spirituality, you have to be smart. There are so many people who teach on these topics without doing the proper research. Yes, we can gain knowledge intuitively but, if that knowledge is not supported by any other experience or ancient writings, don’t just accept it as truth. That includes anything that I have written in the past! I take full responsibility for the fact that I have encouraged and promoted aspects of the New Age movement that I thought I knew about but didn’t truly understand.

(I’m not putting the K in just because Aleister Crowley thought it should be there.)

The first time I ever saw a correspondcence list it came with candles I’d just bought (before I realised white candles are the blank scrabble tile of the Craft). I disagreed with nearly every colour, and anyone who has an understanding of colour association in therapy can tell you why. 

The connections you make to each colour, plant and oil are individual to you.  Mostly. I’m not saying there’ll never be any crossover, because there will. The reasons a lot of people seen green as a colour of wealth and prosperity, but also harmony and peace, are the same reasons many green crystals share that reputation. Jade, for example. Green aventurine, green calcite… 

Depending on how you’re identifying the properties of a colour, plant, oil, or even an item, then it’s possible not a single one with be a match for the other. For example, I have two mint plants - one outside and one indoors. Three, if you count the one that grew itself by the pond. They each grew in very different conditions, received different degrees of attention from me, but they are still mint. 

Specifically, mentha spicata.

I can’t stress how important it is that you know exactly which plant you’re dealing with before you start working with it, and very few seem to note this down for others.

Now, a background in herbalism helps me a fair deal in identifying what mint is used for, but then there’s the growth conditions to consider, and any history/folklore surrounding it. And, perhaps most importantly, the energy of the plant itself. My indoor mint has received the most care from me and is visibly healthier as a result. It is my go-to for teas. However, my outdoor mint has had the most natural care, the most rainwater, and although it’s potted it’s in the middle of a nature-friendly garden. The pond-side mint is truly in its element, which is mostly why I have left it alone to be happy. 

Three plants of the same species, with very different growth conditions and energies. Meditating on your colour associations is easier, I grant you.

Nevertheless.

maybe you could ask an astro blog (i mean someone who really is very good at astrology XD) what could be responsible astrologically speaking why you don’t relate to your placements? i know there ARE things that indicate something like this!

½ cup Greek yoghurt ½ cup plain flour 1tsp baking powder ¼ tsp salt 1 tbsp dried lavender 1 tbsp honey 1 egg, beaten

The intent is to increase mental clarity and connection. To clear your spiritual and mental brain fog so that you can think and see more clearly again. To improve clarity of vision and connection to your heart’s desire. Lavender is employed to stimulate clarity and connection, cleansing, memory, passion, peace of mind, healing, love, passion and retention. With the honey for added sweetness and stickiness to make visions all the more sweet, and memories stick more permanently. Harvesting your own lavender can also be intended to honour Lammas, too!

So, I found a really nifty post about creating your own personal signature/sigil for your work. I got super excited and pretty much immediately started drafting my own.

If you know your birth chart you can get started right away, and if you don't you will need to get your chart.

None of the links in the following images are clickable. If you need any links feel free to ask and I'll add them in.

That is the original posting on the process I used.

All the drafts!!!

My final bby in all its Glory!

Take care of your mother.

🌱 Green Witch: volunteering at community gardens, planting trees, recycling garbage into pots

🐚 Sea Witch: trash pickups, guiding sea turtles, raising awareness for over fishing

☀ Solar Witch: turning off the lights during the day and letting the sun in, supporting solar energy, growing sunflowers and leaving their seeds for birds

☕ Kitchen Witch: cooking vegan/plant based meals, buying local ingredients, remembering reusable grocery bags and travel mugs

🎐 Hedge Witch: cleaning up trash in graveyards, growing plants that attract spirits, making your own candles from leftover wax and clementine caps

⚡ Storm Witch: using rainwater for plants, appreciating electricity keeping it off during the day and admiring it at night, supporting wind power

🌆 Urban Witch: guerilla gardening, walking/biking instead of driving (or carpool), supporting eco friendly buisnesses

🌙 Lunar Witch: recycling to make decor for a nocturnal garden (ft. moonflowers and silvery things), leaving out bird baths that make reflective pools at night, turning the lights off at night to let her shine

🔮 Crystal Witch: collecting your own stones & tumbling them at home, advocating against damaging mining projects

🌸 Fae Witch: starting a butterfly garden, leaving out bee rest stops, building bird houses from recyled goods

I know I’m leaving out some stuff so feel free to add on with your own ideas, tips, types, and how to’s!

this could be anyone, yes a significant other or crush but also just friends or family you have a strong relationship with and have been on your heart for a while. the basic idea of the spell is that if there is someone you love who is hard or even impossible to contact, this message you send out will reach out to them and their subconscious will understand the words you’ve written out to them, so don’t make it too complicated or focusing on physical events or facts that they may just brush off and highly doubt or push away; something along the lines of “i love you and miss you, i’ve grown and matured a lot since i last saw you,” etc. will work better.

✨note: spell most effective if performed on a wednesday✨

you will need:

⭐ small piece of pink paper

⭐ writing utensil

⭐ wind

⭐ items or MUSIC that reminds you of the person (optional)

⭐ intent

steps:

⭐ if your pink paper is very large, you might want to cut it down first to a very small size. at the end of the spell, you want it to easily float away in the wind.

⭐ if you have items or music that reminds you of the person, mediate on those for a few moments to focus all of your energy on them. i don’t use items, but music is SO helpful.

⭐ start writing a note to the person on your heart you’ve been thinking about a lot lately. keep in mind the tips in the first little blurb.

⭐ flip over the paper and copy the sigil from the image above onto the back. it was made based on the phrase “this message is recieved by the one in my heart”.

Salt is very purifying, cleansing, and healing, combine it with some various healing plants and you’ve got amazing healing salts for baths, cooking, aromatherapy, and spells. It’s also a great way to preserve your herbs!

🌿 Here’s what you need:

-Salt (regular sea salt is fine but Himalayan or Celtic salt correspond more with healing in my opinion)

-fresh healing herbs/plants of your choice (can be dried but I’ve had better results with fresh)

-mortor and pestle

-somewhere to store it

🌿Here’s some recommended healing herbs/plants:

Basil- protection, prosperity, happiness // anti-inflammatory, anti-nausea, appetite stimulator

thyme- healing, sleep, soothing // soothes respitory system, antiseptic, decongestant

peppermint- energy, health, vitality // nausea &vomiting, IBS, bloating

garlic- protection, banishment, healing // anti-bacterial, anti-viral, reduces infection

lemon peel- cleansing, purifying, joy // antioxidants, immune boost, kills germs

sage- protection, cleansing, wisdom // cough, antibacterial, soothes inflammation

oregano- luck, health, family // anti-virus, allergy relief, anti-inflammatory

orange peel- optimism, happiness, strength // immune boost, vitamins, antioxidants

lemon balm- healing, psychic abilities, uplifting // anti-anxiety, sleep, indigestion

parsley- calming, protection, passion // energy, circulation, digestion

rosemary- cleansing, divination, love// soothes sore muscles, soothes cough, improves memory

cinnamon- comfort, love, protection // anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, kills germs

🌿How to make it:

-Add a small handful of salt and the herb or herbs of your choice in your mortor and pestle (how much you use depends on the size of your mortor and pestle and how strong you want the salts to be)

-Grind them up until they’re mixed well and infused, the salt will most likely change color.(it’s easier to tell with fresh plants, with dried plants it’ll be more of a powder when it’s done). I like to use this time to focus on the intent!

-Pour it into an airtight container and you’re done, enjoy in a bath, in food, in spells, scrubs etc.

Honey

Honey is a natural substance created by bees within their hives. The hive consists of primarily female bees, which will leave the hive to collect nectar from flowers and then return to transform this nectar into sugary honey for later consumption.

Humans have been collecting honey since 8000 BC, and it has been utilized by nearly every culture across the globe for food, healing, and spiritual purposes.

Honey is universally considered a talisman of prosperity, beauty, health, and sweetness, and it can be utilized in all of these types of witchcraft.

Prosperity

Honey is a representation of abundance: its primary use in nature is as a stored source of food to be used in times of hardship, both for bees and for humans. It is also created from the nectar of flowers, imbuing it with the energies of the Sun and springtime. As such, it can be added to spells for wealth, abundance, fertility, or prosperity in order to amplify the effects and create surplus in your life.

Beauty

Sympathetic Magick states that an object’s physical qualities are reminiscent of its spiritual properties. Honey is golden, pleasing to the eye, and sweet. On its own or added to face masks, it can cleanse, nourish, and moisturize the skin. It can also be added to beauty or glamour spells in order to add a sweet glow to your energy.

Healing

Honey has been used to treat wounds since the time of the Ancient Egyptians. Its viscosity and moisture creates a moist seal around a wound. It also contains natural antibacterial properties, providing a stable and sterile environment for wounds to heal in. Metaphysically, honey can be added to protection spells or wards in order to create an environment of positivity and sterility, and can also be added to healing spells in order to strengthen the recovery process.

Sweetness

Honey is appealing to humans and animals because, above all else, it is sweet. One of honey’s most ancient uses - utilized in magical practices ranging from Egyptian to Greek to Voudoo - is to add ‘sweetness’ to a spell.

It can be added to glamour magick to make the illusion more easily accepted. It can be added to curses in order to make the energy seem harmless when entering the target’s life. It can be added to money spells or job spells in order to ‘sweeten the deal’. It can be added to love or sex spells in order to sweeten a relationship or conjure an appealing partner. In general, it can be added to any spell to make the effects more pleasant and inviting.

Offering

Honey’s final use is especially helpful to witches who work with nature spirits, fairies, the Dead, or deities. Honey contains a very pleasing, warm, Sun-type energy, and therefore it is extremely enticing to spirits. Since the time of the Ancient Egyptians, honey has been used as an offering that symbolizes the utmost love, care, and respect.

Honey can be drizzled onto a candle and burned. It can be drizzled into a body of water or directly onto the earth. Most commonly, it can be drizzled into an offering bowl (or on top of an offering meal) and left outside, in a graveyard, or on an altar. Because it is excellent at preserving itself, offerings of honey can be left somewhere for prolonged periods of time without worry of it spoiling, which is extremely helpful to forgetful witches (like me) or witches with long-term altars.

So, all in all, honey is maybe one of the most underrated magical ingredients, and I hope this post got some of you hip to honey magick.
