The Coven is Eternal, The Road is Long

A sigil to mark on items you don’t want to lose...wallets, journals, keys, glasses and the like.

Purpose of the Spell: A spell to protect a space

Items Needed for the Spell, Including the Purpose of Each Item:

Sage Smudge Stick, Cleansing

Palo Santo Smudge Stick, Positivity

4 Tumbled Obsidian, Protection

A Protection Sigil

A Pen with Black Ink, Protection and Banishment

Paper

Sun/Moon Phase and Explanation: New Moon, so the protection may grow stronger with the growing moon.

Preparation Before the Spell: Physically clean the room to be protected. Cleanse yourself physically in the bath or shower, and magickally with method of choice. Make sure the obsidian stones have been thoroughly cleansed and charged, and that you have created your protection sigil before beginning the spell.

Spell: Smudge the room with the sage, making sure to pay close attention to entrances. The sage will cleanse the room of all energies, including positive, so that is why we are also using Palo Santo to bring back the positive energy. When done with the sage, go through again with the Palo Santo to create positive energy.

Take the pen and paper and draw your sigil of protection. Activate the sigil by holding it close to your lips and invoking it by telling it its purpose and using the vibrations of your voice for activation. Place the protection sigil above the main entrance to the space. Say:

“With this sigil, I protect this space. Negative energies are not welcome here!”

Taking the obsidian stones, place one at each of the four cardinal directions in the space. You can find these by using a compass. When placing each one, image a wall of obsidian shooting up from each stone to encase that side of the space in a wall of protection. As you place each one, say:

“With this stone, I protect this space. Negative energies are not welcome here!”

When all the stones are placed, stand in the center of the room and feel your own personal energy filling the room. Your light should fill it and mend any cracks in the walls of protection you have built. Say:

“This room is protected.”

Ending Information: This spell should be performed at every new moon to reinforce the protection of the space.

The Slow Death Weapon (short sword), legendary (requires attunement)

Crafted from the jawbone of an ancient black dragon. The miasmic aura of the dragon still clings to the blade, infecting anyone unfortunate enough to be struck by it. However, the true power of the blade is not in its strikes, but in the oozing infection left behind.

The Slow Death is a +3 short sword. While attuned to the weapon you gain immunity to acid damage and you can no longer become diseased.

When a creature is struck by the weapon, they must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw. On a failure, the creature gains a Festering Wound. At the start of each of the creature’s turns, it takes 1d8 acid damage from each Festering Wound. 

It takes an action to clean a wound and staunch the infection. A lesser restoration spell can heal 1d4+1 wounds, while a greater restoration spell can heal all wounds. 

In addition to the acid damage, a creature also suffers from additional penalties when they have more than one wound.

3 or more: disadvantage on all attacks. 

5 or more: disadvantage on Constitution saving throws.

7 or more: the creature becomes vulnerable to all damage.

11 or more: the target must make a DC 22 Constitution saving throw or immediately die. They repeat this saving throw each time they receive another Festering Wound.

This is a curse for people who fake being nice but are really mean. It rots away the good and lets their true self show.

Things you will need:

1 red apple (used in this spell to symbolize purity)

A bunch of nails

Black thread

Rope or something strong enough to hang the apple

Optional: Lighter or any source of flame

Optional: Taglock for person who you are casting this curse on

How to cast this spell:

If you have a taglock attach it to the apple (ie: tie hair around the stem, stab nail clippings into side of apple)

If you do not have a taglock take a moment to connect the apple to the person who will be cursed. Try imagining a cord wrapping around them and the apple.

Stab as many nails as you like into the apple, leaving about a half inch protruding (if you are using a lighter, gently heat the ends of the nails before stabbing them in)

Tie one end of a long piece of black thread to a nail and loop it around all the other nails until you run out of thread.

Sing this chant while you loop the thread

This is your essense, red and round

With blackened thread you will be bound

You think you’re pure but you are not

Just like this apple your soul will rot

Secure the end of the string to another nail.

Repeat step 4 if you feel it is needed.

Loop the rope under the thread you just tied off, making a U shape that opens at the top. Tie the ends together over a branch or horizontal pole.

Tip: Tie it somewhere close to their house to amplify the effect.

Here’s a simple recipe for those of you who want to make a cake with limited time (i.e. you’re good at prepping for last minute festivities) and enjoy an herby but sweet cake:

Prep time: 20 minutes Bake time: 30-35 minute

Ingredients:

1 box yellow cake mix ½ teaspoon baking powder 1/3 cup fresh oregano  ¾ cup milk 2 eggs 1/3 cup butter (softened) ½ cup brown sugar 3 tablespoons orange blossom water 1 teaspoon almond extract ½ teaspoon anise extract 

For icing (optional): 3 cups powdered sugar 1/3 cup butter 1-2 tablespoons milk  1 ½ teaspoons almond extract

Instructions:  Preheat oven for 350F  I used two round baking pans around 8.5 inches diameter, you may have to adjust baking time for a different pan. 

I made this jar because I couldn’t remember any part of my dreams, not even enough to write down. Nothing. This has helped. :)

Ingredients

—a white or purple candle —a jar (I used a really small jar) —mugwort (to remember dreams/vivid dreams) —lavender (peaceful/healthy sleep) —lemongrass (protection from nightmares)

What You Do

Light your candle with your intent. You want this to be burning while you are working, you will be needing the melted wax later.

After you cleanse your jar, put the mugwort in it. Use as much as you need, but I put more mugwort than the other ingredients because this is the main ingredient.

Then I put some lavender. I feel like its important to sleep soundly, and to have the ‘correct’ (I don’t have a better word) sleep so you can dream more easily.

Last you put the lemongrass. You don’t want some nasty nightmares.

Remember to visualize and feel your intent with each ingredient. Then you cork it and cover the top with the melted wax to seal it all up.

Place beside your bed when you sleep, keep it close to you, and it should help! I would still advise writing dreams down when you can remember them, that will help you remember them even more! This is just to help you get started!

This charm jar can also be charged when ever you feel you need the boost!

Egyptian gods by Yilade

Being a green witch basically means you want to incorporate plants and nature into your craft! Other names include: nature witch, plant witch, garden witch, forest witch, etc.! I’ll talk about some of the basics being a green witch could entail, but this certainly isn’t an all-encompassing list!

On gardens and growing plants:

Whether you have a flourishing garden filled with everything one could possibly think of, a little windowsill herb garden with the bare essentials or one potted succulent; there’s no denying the joy that comes from helping green things grow!

A container around 2-3 feet deep and filled with soil is perfect for growing potatoes! Plop ‘em in, water them occasionally and harvest in the fall.

Plant things for the butterflies and bees!

Sage, rosemary, basil, mint, thyme, oregano and cilantro are all helpful herbs that you might consider planting.

Daffodils, marigolds, roses, sunflowers and primroses are my favorite witchy flowers.

Eggshells and banana peels are your friends.

These food plants can easily be regrown.

On bringing the green in (houseplants):

Let’s be real, not of all of us have access to areas for planting gardens, or infinite space for indoor plants! It can make being a green witch a bit tricky. 

Spider plants, lucky bamboo, air plants, aloe vera (succulents) and cacti are all pretty easy houseplants.

Terrariums are adorable and you can make them into mini gardens!

Grow one plant for each area of your life (happiness, mental health, etc) [source]

You can get bulbs for grow lights that fit into normal lamps, just be sure to put the plants directly under it!

Watering plants with rainwater will make them happy!

#houseplant magic / #houseplant tips

On incorporating nature:

Find a place outside you can safely visit. Try to spend at least five or more minutes a day sitting and watching. Quiet your mind and just be. (This could be your front porch or backyard, it doesn’t have to be in the forest)

Wander on some nature trails. Visit the local body of water. Walk outside.

Start taking pictures of beautiful wild places, or wildlife.

Learn about what birds and animals live in your area, and perhaps what their tracks look like.

Climb a tree, go swimming in wild waters, take your shoes off and feel the ground beneath your feet, remove invasive plants and plant native ones, pay attention to weather patterns, collect rainwater, etc.

#nature witch / #nature magic / #connecting to nature

On wild plants:

Get some basic plant field guides. I really like Audubon and Peterson, along with Botany in a Day. 

There are also plant apps and websites. 

Learn what plants have poisonous look-alikes and how to tell the difference.

Get a calendar. Go out at least once a week and document what stages the different plants are in. For example: March 4th. Oso berry leaves almost open. Nettles small but fully established. Bitter cherry has unopened flower buds. Salmonberry leaves almost open. Also worth adding where (elevation/location) which is SUPER helpful for harvesting reference later.

Pick a plant a week and research/journal it. Points include: What it looks like, what look-alikes there are, ecosystem + elevation it grows in, medicinal uses, edible uses, magical uses, etc.

Harvest plants and use them for medicine and food after safely doing research*.

This is a very gentle, non-aggressive spell to help you break the bond with someone who meant a lot to you, whose relationship with you is now over but the closure is still needed.

Gather the following:

🌹Paper

🔪Envelope (you can create your own with paper, it doesn’t need to be fancy)

🌹Pen

🔪Blue candle: communication, truth, peace, calm, understanding

🌹Yellow candle: manifesting thoughts, used in rituals when it’s needed to convince someone, or gain their trust

🔪Jasmine: promotes peace, repels fights, protects from external influences.

🌹Sigil, I’ll be using one that I created. It’s for “wish you the best, now get out”

1. Light the blue candle with intent, imagine everything you do and say, they’ll notice.

2. Now light the yellow one, imagine they notice that you’re officially out of their lives.

3. Press the jasmine, put it in a big book, and put books over that one.

4. Now write the sigil on a paper, you can write other stuff too but make it as positive as you can. We don’t wanna curse or make the other person get a bad vibe from us, we just want closure and for them to notice we’re gone.

5. Grab the jasmine and tape it to the paper, it can be over the sigil, if you’re a closeted witch you can cover the sigil and it’ll just look like a pretty envelope with a pressed flower.

6. Now put the paper in the envelope and seal it with both candles, pour wax from one, then the other, and keep doing this until you feel closure is basically happening. Until you’re okay with the fact that they won’t come back. This takes a lot of meditating and intent, so make sure you don’t rush the spell!

There’s a reason this salt dough recipe is the first thing in my grimoire. Very few tools have been quite as versatile as this. I have made offering bowls, a measuring spoon, a deity statue, runes… and I could go on.

Salt dough is wonderful for witchery because you make it yourself, it’s cheap af, you can make it with things you steal from the kitchen while you’re stealing McCormack herbs (don’t lie, you know you’ve done it), and it’s salt based which is like the witchiest of witch things.

The small discs on the page are my latest idea, which is outlined in the second note on the page. I mixed dried herbs into the salt dough, formed discs, let it dry, and now I’ve got these portable little magic herb discs. The ones on the page are basil and powdered sugar for drawing wealth at work. But the possibilities are endless. If you can make an herb sachet or powder, you can probably also make it a salt dough disc.
