DIY: Brews and Potions
Witches standing over an open fire while stirring up potions in a cauldron is one of the many romanticized views of witchcraft. Today, witches brew many things for love, luck, health, wealth, and etc. Potions are a widely regarded instrument for witches. Potions are simply liquid spells that can be taken internally or applied externally to the body. Teas, enchanted perfumes, tinctures, and washes are the many forms these spells can come in. Some are used for healing, others are used in ritual or magickal work.Â
Kitchen Herbs and Common plants for Brews
Back in the day, homemade teas and salves were the only medicine available. Using these things today is still very popular and a holistic approach to health that treats the mind, body, and soul together. What you use does not have to be expensive, it can come from your back yard or your home. Many of what you already have you can use to make tinctures, teas, and decoctions. Also, syrups, tonics, waters, and vinegars. If you work with the herbs you have at home already on hand, you will be able to create your own remedy with a distinct local flavor.Â
The Power Behind the Plants
It is believed that many spiritual forces animate the world; called animism. When working with a plant or crystal, or performing a spell or ritual at a specific place, witches work with the spirits behind those plants or crystals, and call upon the spirit of that location to help them in their work. There is a special partnership and alliance between the witch and spirit, manifesting in forms of animals (familiars) or in the form of other plants, crystals, and locations. Over time, working with these spirits on various projects will deepen the relationship and the witch will gain information on magical associations, properties, and lore. These things often come through dreams, inspirations, or visions. The spirit will gain energy, attention, and physical shelter as animals or plants or crystals carried as a talisman.Â
Teas and Decoctions for Health
Using teas and decoctions (herb-and-water remedies in the form of conceited potions that your drink) is a very easy homeopathic way to get started. They are made with dried or fresh herbs, roots, or flowers infused in hot water. Cold infusions is used for tinctures, where the herbal properties are absorbed and released into liquids over time.Â
Decoction Method
For plants woody and seedy such as root and bark, use this method
Once the plant parts are boiled, place on a low heat and set to simmer for 15-20 minutes
After simmered, cool them and strain them, pressing the herbs through a cheesecloth or strainer
Ready to drink
Tea Method
For flowers, leaves, fruits, and/or stems of plans, use this method
Start steeping the herbs in the water before it reaches full boilÂ
Once the water begins to steam or boil, remove it from heat
Steam for no more than 5-10 minutes
While hot, strain into a container
Drink right away or follow the cold tea method
Cold Tea Method
Following all the preparations of the tea method, after straining, pour into a container and place in the fridge for 30 minutes to 1 hour.Â
Herbs for Teas and Decoctions
If using a tea ball, only use a pinch of each plant or spice. If using an infusion pot, or something similar, use approximately Âź teaspoon of each ingredient.

Tinctures and Tonics for HealthÂ
A tincture is a traditional herb infusion made with an alcohol base. A tonic usually uses either vegetable glycerin or apple cider vinegar as the base. The alcohol used in tinctures must be at least 100 proof, or 50%, alcohol, which is why most vodkas and gins are used. Tinctures can also be made with vegetable glycerin or apple cider vinegar for those with alcohol issues, although less potent and yet still effective.Â
Crafting Tinctures and Tonics
Tools needed:
Two mason jars
Cheesecloth
The herbs/plants/spices
Measuring cups
An herb grinder
Alcohol/vegetable glycerin/apple cider vinegarÂ
Tool to measure the dosage such as droppers for infant medication
Steps for recipe creation:
When preparing a tincture, the rule of thumb is you want a 1:4 ratio of herb to alcohol. If your herbs start to float, your ratio is good. Allow them to settle, and add a little more alcohol until the mixture is fully saturated.Â
Prepare the ingredients
Fill the mason jar with the herbs/plants/spices
Add the alcohol or alcohol substitute  (If using apple cider vinegar as your base, you will need to take the additional step of laying wax paper on top of the jar lid)
Keep in a cool, dark place for a month (some may require refrigeration, and that will be noted)Â
Shake twice dailyÂ
After 1 month, strain the herbal matter from the liquid into the second jar using a cheesecloth (squeeze the cheesecloth to get out as much of the liquid as you can)
After straining, fill the remainder of the jar with distilled waterâthis dilutes the alcohol, allowing you to ingest it directly
Ready for useÂ

1 white candle (spirit and magick)
1 candle to charge the tincture (color depends on spell)
1 mixing bowlÂ
Herbs and alcohol for the tincture (or alcohol substitute)Â
2 Mason jars
Cheese clothÂ
Ritual:
Place the three candles in a triangle on your altar or workspace. The white candle should be the top of the triangle (facing away from you to direct the energy out into the universe). The green and other candle form the base
Place the bowl at the center of the altar, and place your containers of herbs and alcohol on the floor
Light the white candle while stating:Â âFor the power of spiritâ
Light the green candle while stating:Â âFor the herbal spiritsâ
Light the colored candle for your need, and state your needÂ
Place an herb in the bowl, state a thank-you blessing to the herb, and explain why you are using that herb. Repeat for each herb, and as you add each herb, stir the mixture of herbs clockwise for increasing or bringing something to you and counterclockwise if you are trying to remove or decrease something in your life
Once you have mixed all the herbs in the bowl, hold your hands over the mixture and state your intent
Visualize a light coming out of your hands for that need (red for love and passion or power; green for money, success, growth and fertility; blue for healing; yellow for success; etc)
Pour the mixture into one of the mason jars and add the alcohol (do this at a safe distance form the lit candles)
Place the lid on the jar
Remove the mixing bowl from the alter and put the mason jar with the tincture blend in its place, in the center of your candles. Keep the mason jar there until the candles have finished burning
Shake the tincture, focusing your mental, emotional, and physical energy into the jar. As you shake, chant: âI can upon the powers green, Release the powers unseen. Herbs awakened on this day, Blessings in this tincture stay.âÂ
Shake the jar twice daily for one month, each time visualizing the need behind the tincture
Once the month has passed, strain the mixture into the second jar using the cheesecloth.Â
Now the tincture is ready to be used in magickal work

Reblog if you still go to libraries.
He got owned and backed down
Just because YOU donât use a library doesnât mean NO ONE uses a library. This is the height of privilege. I donât see a problem, therefore there is a no problem, like the economic circumstances that make libraries vital for some people. And I donât see the benefit for people of a public good, therefore there must not be one.Â
@librarianmagic this guy is seriously misguided

âWelcome,â she said. âWelcome, and thank you for agreeing to be a volunteer with Multnomah County Libraries. We are so grateful for you and your commitment to our community. For the next hour, weâre going to go over some important information that you need to know as a volunteer, no matter what role you play.â I expected that we were going to learn about things like policies for canceling our shifts, or maybe where to find first aid kits. We probably did talk about those things. But the part that I remember most vividly is the first thing she talked about. âWeâre going to start with the Library Bill of Rights from the American Library Association,â she said, and she projected the text of the document onto the screen. âEveryone who works for libraries, including volunteers, helps to support and uphold the Library Bill of Rights.â This was new to me. Iâd been a regular patron at my local public library for years, graduating from Dr. Seuss to The Babysitters Club series to, most recently, my fixation on books about neo-paganism and queer sex. No one had mentioned this whole Bill of Rights thing. It was a short document with just a few bullet points. âLibraries support free access to information,â Bess explained. âOne of our core values is intellectual freedom. This impacts all of you because when youâre volunteering for the library, we expect you to support the rights of library users to find and read whatever they want, even if you donât agree with what theyâre looking for.â She continued, âFor example, letâs say that a small child came up to you and asked where to find the Stephen King books. You might think those books are too scary for someone that age, or that he shouldnât be reading that kind of stuff. But that doesnât matter. No matter what, we help people find the information they want, and we donât censor their interests. Does that make sense?â Heads around the room nodded, and I leaned back into the wall, letting her words sink in. It was absolutely, positively the most radical, punk rock thing I had ever heard in my life. I can read whatever I want. No one can stop me. I can help other people read what they want. And no one can stop them. âThis is core,â Bess added, âto a functioning democracy. We believe that fighting censorship and providing free, unrestricted access is key to helping citizens participate in the world. And, most importantly, we keep everyoneâs information strictly confidential. So, even if you know what books your neighbor is checking out or what theyâre looking at on the computer, you donât share that with anyone.â As someone who kept carefully guarded notebooks full of very personal thoughts, I was especially excited by the libraryâs emphasis on privacy. All of this sounded great. I wanted more. I wanted in. I wanted to be a crazy, wild, counterculture librarian-witch who would help anyone read anything from The Anarchistâs Cookbook to Mein Kampf. I would be a bold freedom fighter in the face of censorship. I would defend unfiltered Internet access and anatomically correct picture books. Maybe I was only in the eighth grade, but I was ready to stand up to anyone who tried to threaten the ideal of intellectual freedom. Fuck blink-182. Libraries were the real punk rock.

Amazing post!! đŤâ¨
Yes!
one word spells
As long as you can focus your energy and set your intention your spell should work, so Iâve designed these 5 spells using just one word for a Witch who needs a quick fix.
Mariquil
Pronounced mar-e-quil
Used to calm a temper or an upset person. From the latin word for sea, mare, and the english word tranquil. Essentially you are calling the sea inside them to be still. For better results cast with wet hands.
Univert
Pronounced Uni-var
Used for faster transport. I use it at the train station to have a shorter wait time but really its designed for traffic lights. By combining uni from universe and vert,the french word for green, youâre essentially asking the universe to make your path green.
Visididen
Pronounced Vis-e-did-en
Used to go unnoticed or invisible. Taken from the english words vision and hidden. For best results chant it softly while visualising yourself turning transparent.
Lapagna
Pronounced Lap-ag-na
Used when you just need someone to shut the f**k up but are too polite to say so. Taken from the Latin words lapis and magna, meaning stone and voice. For best results hold a stone or some earth while casting, if theyâre really pissing you off just throw the stone or dirt at them.
Bavarignis
pronounced Bav-are-ig-ni
Used to strike up a conversation or to continue a conversation. Taken from the French word bavarder, which means chat, and the Latin word ignis, which means fire. Basically youâre asking for the conversation to spark or catch fire. For best results flick a lighter in your pocket or light a match.
I AM SO HERE FOR MAGIC WORDS.
God Iâm so in love with magic words Iâm going to start creating some right now.
For warding the home:
Murusidium
Pronounced : MOO roos id ee um
Combines Latin words for wall and protection, asking for the walls of your home to offer a spiritual protection. Works best with your hands on the wall you want to enchant
For success at work/promotion:
Victeloffici
Pronounced Vic-tel-o-FI-see
Combines the Latin words for success, arrow, and job. Asking for movement like an arrow in the career, added success to ensure that it is successful movement.
For getting a job:
Obtanoficcium
Pronounced: ob-tan-o-FI-see-um
English word obtain with Latin word for job. Best murmured at an interview or while submitting an application.
To get smooth the mind:
Chamomenta
Pronounced CA-mo-men-ta
Chamomile- a notoriously soothing tea and menta-meaning mind. Best murmured into a cup of well chamomile tea.
For a burst of confidence: Confidissi
From the Latin for bursting forth and the English confident. Best spoken with a clenched fist.
For good luck: Ădhuerte
Pronounced ahh-d-where-tay
From the Irish for luck and the Spanish for strong/luck (fuerte/suerte)
