Difference Between Charms, Enchantments, Amulets, and Talismans
Charms: A charm's main magical purpose is to bring about luck, happiness, love, good fortune, health, etc. It isn't strong magic, but it's something. Ex.: "See a penny, pick it up, and all the day you'll have good luck", that's a charm and it's said by school children all the time. It's an object that is spoken over to give it a little bit of magic. It doesn't have to rhyme, and it can be whispered, but it can help bring about a minor magical intention. (It's like the first-level armor you get in a video game. It's not strong, but it helps)
Enchantments: Enchantments are usually worn or carried and the objects are themselves magic. They are wearable or portable spells that effect the wearer/carrier. They can have a much larger effect than charms can, however, they are a bit more complex in the making - creating a spell, speaking over it, and whatnot.
Enchantment hows and whys can be found here.
Amulets Amulets are magical objects that protect people from evil spirits, negative energy, disease or illness, general harm, bad luck, etc. People believe that the amulet has some kind of magical power that protects the person possessing the charm.
Amulets are all different types, which includes herbs, stone, garlic, coal, horseshoes, plant or animal parts, coins, or any other metals. Amulets also include various signs and symbols. Amulets can be of the general type or can be personalized or changed according to the person going to use them.
It is often used in the form of jewelry so that it stays within the person every time and the chances of losing it becomes negligible. Amulets are natural objects and do not harm anyone. They improve the quality of life of a person having it as they satisfy the natural desired of the individual.
Talismans Talismans are magical objects supposed to give strength and power to the person possessing them. People also believe that it provides some kind of magical abilities to the person having it.
Talismans are natural amplifiers. They boost up the energy and empower the people leading them to make the right choices. Talisman is usually in a single piece, made up of gemstone or any other crystals. Talisman is a magical charm that can be customized or changed according to the person.
The talisman can be personalized according to the requirement. Some of them are supposed to bring joy and happiness, some of them bring health, some bring good quality of life, and so on.

Man, it’s been a while since I went back to this pseudo-digital grimoire. Can’t promise that I’ll be here most of the time since I’m working on other projects for the past year or so. But I’ll be around, reblogging some PCP and other witchy stuff.
Basics of Energy Work - Part One
Expanding Awareness Energy work is a subtle art, a foundational building block to successful magic. Almost all magical practices involve some form of energy work - and there are countless forms - but how it will function from individual to individual will differ greatly. To put it simply, energy work is the practice of manipulating unseen energies. Everything - people, places, animals, inanimate objects, even our thoughts - vibrates at a specific energetic frequency and emits energy. By learning how to identify and tune into these energies, we can use them to direct our magic and spell work. Chances are, you have worked your own personal energy before. More often than not, your own energy will be the easiest for you to tap into. To do this, we need to learn how to expand our awareness. Meditation Meditation is a good practice to have when pursuing any kind of magical endeavor; there are many ways to meditate and there is much to achieve through it. The overall key to meditation is, generally, focus. You are training your mind to simply observe with non judgement; not to simply clear your mind of any thought at all, which is the common misconception. There is not just one way to meditate - if sitting cross legged in a room bathed with incense as you engage breathing exercises works for you, great! Some people meditate through dance, yoga, exercise, crafts, etc. Anything where your mind can drift, “tune out” so to speak, as your body instinctively goes through the motions. There are also several forms of guided meditations that you can use for specific goals, such as attentiveness, visualization, improving memory, empowerment, etc. Elemental meditation is popular among the witchcraft community. What’s great about guided meditation is it extremely accessible through apps and things like youtube (favorites of mine are the fire meditation and the water meditation from magickians!) and makes the whole process of learning to meditate a lot less intimidating. As meditation relates to energy work, it will sharpen your ability for visualization, increase your focus, have you more in touch with your physical and inner self as both the same and separate entities, and increase your awareness of changes in and around you - all of this working towards an enhanced ability to sense energy and its movement. What is this mystical “energy?” If you’re having trouble wrapping your head around the idea of the elusive and all encompassing vaguery of “energy”, don’t worry. The idea may seem intimidating, but they are not inaccessible. If you are struggling, it only indicates that you are human. This will take practice and it will require you to understand the concepts on a physical level. Luckily, these are steps that nearly every magical practitioner, old and new, has and will continue to work on for the rest of their spiritual journey. Every question you have has likely already been answered. Some may just take a bit of research to find! However, I’m going to try and provide at least some cursory information here. To get a real idea of what “energy” feels like, set aside some quiet time for youself. Close the door, dim the lights, turn off your phone. Light your candles and make sure you will be left alone. Sit down on the floor and make yourself comfortable - not too comfortable! You don’t want to fall asleep. Draw in some deep breaths and clear your mind, as you did in your meditation. Continue until you feel your breathing regulated and yourself relaxed. Now, close your eyes and rub your palms together, like you’re trying to warm them up, then pull them an inch or two apart. You should feel a charged sensation tingling between your hands, maybe even like a ball, vibrating and pulsating in your hands. If you concentrate, you may even be able to feel a sort of magnetic resistance if you attempt to push it back together. That’s energy. It’s really that simple. If you don’t feel it at first, just try again. The more you do this, the easier it will become to identify your own and different types of energy all around you through a technique called centering, which will be discussed below. Grounding The term grounding, sometimes called Earthing, means to recalibrate your energy. Essentially, the purpose of grounding is to shake off “excess” energy and ground yourself back in reality, into the rhythm of the plane on which we exist. And while grounding does restore balance and connectedness, there are greater implications to explore when it comes to grounding. Everything on this earth is shaped by forces and presence of the Earth and cosmos, and as such, “this connection is deeply inherent to a sustainable state of well being. The Earth, as an organic and inorganic system, is constantly bathing all life on the planet with its highly ordered and coherent electromagnetic field. The natural tendency of an organism is to couple with the Earth’s energy field and come to a mutual state of cooperation and harmony within its environment, finding its niche and proper place within a system. What we need to understand is that all systems strive to achieve, return to and/or maintain a state of coherence. Whether one is aware of it or not, we are always taking part in a constant process within our universe, coupling with other energy fields and finding some sort of balance within this space. This happens everywhere within the context of an ecosystem, whenever two forces interact for any reason. The more organized or coherent these fields are, the more effectively and efficiently energy can be [manipulated.]” Grounding allows us to cultivate a relationship with the earth and facilitate a healthier, more coherent state of being. It allows us to align our energy for more accurate working. Like meditation, there are many ways to ground; a list of some of my personal favorite methods can be found (here.) Shielding and Centering Shielding is important for magical workings as it provides a protective barrier to maintain our center. To do this, you’ll want to get a feel for your personal energy first. A good way to do is something called centering. Throughout the day, you naturally will pick up on all kinds of external energy; some good, some bad, most of it probably neither of the two - either way, it is energy that is not yours. Meditation and shadow work will be useful in identifying what feels distinctly you, but you should be able to know when you’re not feeling entirely you. If you’ve been feeling particularly out of sorts, a good tip to get back in touch with yourself before centering or shielding is to spend some time in self care. Turn off your phone and go to your room or a friendly space in nature, a library, a favorite haunt and engage in a creative project, put on your favorite music, eat your favorite food. Be mindful of your physical space, your body, sensations your are experiencing. Be attentive to you and only you; your wants, needs, feelings, comforts, etc. Take a bath and allow yourself to relax. Your only responsibility right now is you have no responsibilities - if even for just a short while. Just do what you can to access some “me time” to do something you love to do and observe yourself. Take note of what you choose to do that brings you joy, why those things make you feel happy and fulfilled, how exactly these feelings and activities resonate with you. Record this in your Book of Shadows, as it is useful information to getting to yourself on a more intimate level. Learn to recognize this energy and get familiar with what it means to feel yourself. It can be easy to get lost. Centering can get you back, especially when you make these feelings more accessible to yourself. To center, we’re going to go back to the exercise in the beginning; in a quiet place, meditate and rub your palms together - build up that energy between them again. When you pull your hands apart, you want to visualize this sensation. What color is it? What does it feel like? Is it light? Heavy? Is it vibrating? Focus on the pulsation and how it pushes against you. Allow it to move and grow. Picture it contracting and growing until you no longer can. Pull it in close to you, somewhere you can focus on it - many people use their solar plexus or heart chakras. This is the same energy you’re going to use to shield yourself. Instead of centering this energy, however, you’re going to push it out to envelope you. Visualization in your meditation and centering exercises should help with this; visualizing energy usually makes it easier for people to push it outward. Again, knowing what specifically makes this your protective energy will be useful - what color is it? Texture? Is it elemental? Perhaps your energy doesn’t feel like light, but water or air. Maybe white is a protective color to you or maybe green is, for Earth. Maybe your energy shield is a network of stars in the shape of your zodiac constellation. Maybe the outside is reflective, to reflect any negativity directed your way. Maybe its a shield of smoke, to conceal yourself. No matter what it looks like to you, just make sure it is yours. Don’t feel pressured to commit to something either - your idea of what these concepts look like will grow and change as much as you do. Push this energy outward and around you, as if you are creating a protective bubble for yourself. To enhance the intensity of desired outcome, surround yourself with corresponding elements. Light white candles or wear black tourmaline. I personally like to use dragon’s blood incense or oils. There are many things you can do in tandem with any of these practices, so long as they make sense for you and are helping you to achieve your desired results. This shield will become stronger the more you do this and keep you protected from psychic attacks, curses and hexes, negative energy, and bad intent. These exercises are all building blocks to unlocking great power within oneself, but they are also a great power on their own as well. Taking the time and patience to hone these skills will aid you in all your magical endeavors, whether through sharper focus, strong visual associations, enforced protective barriers, and/or knowing your true self above all else. Once you have established your abilities, you will be able to do them any time, anywhere and begin to play more with energy, both internal and external. In the follow up, I will focus on charging and programming.

“There is no Daedric language, a common misconception; only Daedric letters substituted for their Tamrielic equivalents. Some may refer to the Daedric alphabet as a font, but most Daedric letters are too dissimilar to be associated with their English equivalents. Neither are they symbols, runes, glyphs, etc.”

Ghost Season Foods
A simple celebratory ‘recipe’ I like to prepare is thinly-sliced apples dusted with cinnamon. Add sugar for extra sweetness, if you like!
I was hoping to have a recipe section ready for this post, but that may have to remain a future project. I have, however, compiled a list of foods that I associate with Starscream:
★ Foods that are spiky on the outside, but juicy, sweet and luscious on the inside. Much like our Seeker. One example would be the pineapple.
★ Foods that are hot, spicy and volatile - such as peppers! Scorpion peppers and ghost peppers get extra points for being named after things associated with Starscream (namely ghosts and the constellation of Scorpio.
★ Cinnamon, for its fiery nature and its association with the Phoenix, the mythical resurrecting bird who’s said to build her nest from the branches of the cinnamon tree.
★ Foods associated with Venus: I associate Starscream with Ishtar, the ancient Mesopotamian goddess of love, beauty, sex, desire, fertility, war, justice, and political power. There’s an essay to be written about that topic alone, and I’ll get to it one of these days. For now, suffice it to say that because Ishtar is associated with Venus, I include Venus-associated foods such as Apples, Roses (yes, roses are edible), and Star Anise, the seed of which resembles the 8-pointed Star of Ishtar.
★ Anything star-shaped in general - which goes back to apples, since if you slice one crosswise, you get a five-pointed star.
★ Anything with a crown on the label, or other intimations of royalty.

Pop-Culture and Occulture
The gods of old have risen from the dead in the many versions of the Magical Diary throughout the centuries. Each Magical Diary has it's own scripture and mythology written into it. Some contain the seals and names of powerful infernal and celestial entities, while others are simple journals of ritual experience.
Mythology stems from story telling, from the days and nights our ancestors spoke of the Creator and Spirits around a fire.
Our ancestors danced around the fires on auspicious days or to bring good fortune. They dressed like their gods and guardian spirits; similar to how a cosplay actor will present themselves in the costume of their favorite character. A mystic will invoke their gods daily with fervor to Become much like the Method Actor.
The world has changed and will do so continuously. Precisely why religion is so powerful. The essential nature of religion is to unite humanity with Nature, the Cosmos and one another.
The gods are everywhere, we just have to listen.
Many a witch use letters or runes, illuminated or simply written, as a means to make magic. Things like spells, written chants, sigils, magic circles, and petitions. It’s not uncommon to find these things in our grimoires and Books of Shadows.
Here are some pages from the Mysterium Xarxes, a book from the game Oblivion in which the Daedric script is used to make big beautiful magical circles to summon and call forth the Daedric Prince Mehrunes Dagon.
I personally have been exploring the use of other scripts, particularly the Daedric Script as shown, and the Draconic language from Skyrim. A particular dragon spirit that i’ve come to know, tends to laugh at my love of the draconic script, as it is not similar to his own. His is more growly and guttural as far as I know.. but I have heard rumors that for some dragon species it is actually quite similar!
That being said, I am into languages, real and “fake”, so I’ll learn where I can, when I can!
In modern magick, runes (the Elder & Younger Futharks), sigils, symbols, and symbols may be used to inscribe magical names or words of power; or used in groups to imbue objects or spells with the combined intention and power of chosen runes.
There are many other scripts that can be found via a Google Search, such as Pictish, Celestial, and Tolkien’s Elvish, one could even make use of alchemical circles and other magical circles such as Sakura’s from Card Captor Sakura!! There are many circles readily available. But I find it much more fun to take the resources and learn from them, and make my own sigils and circles!
Now go forth my scholars! Make beautiful circles and sigil designs!!

Guiding Star Tarot Spread
So, I made a thing! :-) Resurrection Day (October 23) is kind of like my New Year, so I’ve decided to do some divination for the year ahead. This is the card layout I plan on using. You’re welcome to use it too! As you can see, it’s designed to look like a compass. Each point on the compass represents a different aspect of your life as it relates to the situation you’re asking about, and the central [9th] card reflects Starscream’s specific advice or commentary on the situation. (Numerologically, 9 is Starscream’s name-number, so I like to do things in 9′s.)
You can use this spread to gain an overview of how best to navigate an upcoming project, situation, or life event. Also, though it probably goes without saying, you don’t have to use Tarot cards. Feel free to use any Oracle deck you prefer. You can also use standard playing cards, or even runes.
Here’s some additional insight into each of the card positions:
1. What is Rising For You: This is an energy that you will be encountering as you move forward into the situation you’re inquiring about. It could be a helpful influence or a challenging one; either way, you will definitely grow from it.
2. What is Setting For You: This is something that is either leaving your life on its own, or that you are being asked to set aside, at least temporarily.
3. Your Private Self: This is how you can expect to feel in this upcoming situation. This card may offer guidance as to how to take care of your inner self as you navigate the uncharted waters ahead.
4. Your Public Self: This is how you will meet the world (and how it will meet you) during the time ahead. This card may warn of potential pitfalls; heed its guidance and your dealings with others should become smoother.
5. Your Body: It’s easy to get so focused on your projects and goals that you forget to take care of your physical self. This card offers guidance on how best to heal and nurture your body so you can meet challenges from a place of strength.
6. Your Spirit: Just as it’s easy to forget about physical needs when you’re caught up in a big project, so too is it easy to forget about your spiritual self. This card offers a touchstone for nurturing your spirit during the time ahead.
7. Your Heart: This card relates to your emotional self. Matters of the heart include relationships (including with yourself), your creativity, and your sense of play. Pursue your goals, yes; but don’t forget about loved ones, or to have fun!
8. Your Mind: This card speaks to your intellect, as well as your attitudes and beliefs. It shows a helpful way for you to think about your situation. What new mindset might you need to adopt? What beliefs might you need to let go of?
9. The Eye From Outer Space:* This central card speaks to the very heart of the matter. It is Starscream’s specific guidance on the upcoming situation, and it is your Guiding Star. Whether the message is challenging or reassuring, you will achieve maximum growth by engaging with the energy this card represents.
*The title of this 9th card comes from the lyrics of a song that’s very special to me, and which I have always associated with Starscream.

Buzz Lightyear’s Laser Focus Spell
Inspired By: Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom Card Game Card Inspired From: 03 Buzz Lightyear’s Astro Blaster
Things you need:
Orange Candle (could be citrus scented if you wish)
Carnelian
Basil Ginger Lemonade but can be substituted with plain Orange Juice
Steps to do:
Do this in the morning like during breakfast or before class.
Light your orange candle in front of you and if it is a certain class speak what ever you feel like speaking. Like for me it’s “Athena may you guide me and that my eyes may not wander while in a place of learning.”
Set the Carnelian,which is a academic crystal in my opinion, in front of the candle.
Have your drink I use Basil Ginger Lemonade. Basil is to help understanding and dispel confusion. Ginger is for success and can help sooth upset stomachs. Lemonade is a citrus which is a natural energy booster and very refreshing. As for Orange juice it is easy to find and get your source of vitamin C and it can help with focus. Since Vitamin C helps produce Norepinephrine which controls attention and response actions.
Sip your drink and watch the candle burn. It does not have to burn all the way down. However extinguish the flame before leaving.
Take the Carnelian with you to class.
This spell was designed originally for my spouse since he is in college currently. It just never was named until now. This is an easy spell to do and it has been proven successful for him. Perform as needed. However this is not a substitute for medications for those whom have attention disorders.
You can always customize this spell to however you wish however do not remove the credit from forever-learning-witch.

If you are a worshipper of Earth, dig your heels into the softness of the grass. Smile at every flower you come across, and take a moment to tightly wrap your arms around a favourite tree. Run your fingers gently over a mossy bridge or stone. Hold crystals in your palms, and experience the flow of their natural energies. Water and speak to your plants, and think of how thankful they are for you doing so. You, too are a part of this planet; sharing the soil with the forests and gardens: You are home.
If you are a worshipper of Air, step outside to take the biggest breath that you possibly can. Go on! Now, doesn't that just feel like the most wondrous gift? Let the oxygen fill up your lungs and cleanse your inner spirit. Frolic through a meadow or upon a grassy hill; allow the fresh air to caress your hair and your skin. Wave incense or sage amongst your bedroom, drawing hearts or pentagrams in the air. Whisper your secrets amongst the winds, and let them become entangled amongst this beautiful, invisible force: They are safe within.
If you are a worshipper of Fire, light a candle in a wax shade of your most treasured colour. You are that hue, and that flicker amongst the velvety darkness. Listen to the crackle of a fireplace, and succumb to the melody of its seductive spark. Observe the powerful flames of a bonfire as they dance and twist and come alive against the sky - allow for your spirit to become enticed by a sight as stunning as this. That is your soul: For always, you, too have held such radiance.
If you are a worshipper of Water, replenish. Drink a tall, chilled glass of clean water first thing in the morning. Worship it when it runs down your clothesless body as you take a shower. Submerge your barefeet when you are standing amongst the tides of a sea or lake. Collect river stones, appointing them to be your good-luck charms. Believe that you can hear the calls of the ocean from the seashells, and whisper back. Your soul is a force as natural as the ocean; your spirit just as vast as its depths.
