Devoted to Artemis

Bay Leaf | This is a terrific herb for magical efforts involving athletics, competition, and victory. It also removes negative energy, protects health, and boosts any work involving love, divination, and wishes.

Chamomile | Known to many as the gamblers herb, luck in games of chance is only one of chamomile magical facets. Its great for prophetic dreaming and sound sleep, protection, and hex-breaking. Try it, too, for matters of the heart. A little goes a long way when it comes to love and romance. There are 2 types of chamomile, German and Roman. Roman chamomile should not be ingested by pregnant women.

Cinnamon | Because it vibrates on such a highly spiritual level, this herb is nearly indispensable. It works well for any efforts involving prosperity, love, lust, success, physical energy, and divinatory purposes.

Cloves | This herb works beautifully when it comes to relieving depression, grief, and anxiety. Its also an effective medicine magical herb for issues involving lust, love, luck, and money.

Ginger | Try this herb to increase psychic ability, health, personal power, and general success.

Lavender | Used primarily for protection, lavender also works wonders in efforts that deal with easy childbirth, mental and physical healing, peaceful sleep, love, and longevity.

Mugwort | Since smoking this herb or drinking its infusion induces an altered state of consciousness conducive to psychic awareness, mugwort is commonly known as the "witches herb." The infusion is also used as a magical wash for scrying mirrors, crystal balls, and pendulums. Mugwort should not be ingested by pregnant women.

Nutmeg | This herb works well in magical efforts where love, money, luck, and health are at issue. Nutmeg is not safe when used internally at more than 5 grams at a time.

Sage | Used as a main ingredient in Native American smudge sticks, sage removed negative energy and its residue from areas, buildings, and people, when burned. It also works well for efforts involving good health and fortune, wisdom, long life, and wishes.

A break-down of why your magickal intent may not be taking effect in your life

Hi there! So, if you’re reading this, you’ve probably had this problem at one time or another; in fact, almost all witches experience a ‘fizzled’ spell every once in awhile… but what happens when you’ve been casting multiple, and they all just won’t take? Here are some reasons why this could be happening:

⧜⧜⧜⧜⧜⧜⧜⧜⧜⧜⧜⧜⧜⧜⧜⧜⧜⧜⧜⧜⧜⧜⧜⧜⧜⧜⧜⧜⧜⧜

The spell was not transferred enough energy to take effect. Think of this as filling up a balloon with helium ~ If you don’t put enough in, the balloon with just roll around or float a few inches above the floor, rather than floating high in the air like you intended for it to do. This can also happen with spells! There needs to be enough energy transfer (The energy you put in, the energy you’ve taken from something/someone else, etc.) to allow the spell to ‘take hold’ and manifest strongly and in the way you preferred. 

You’re not helping the magick along when it requires you to do so. For many spells, such as magick geared towards jobs, people, physical events, etc. there needs to be more than just one magickal variable working towards your intent to manifest. You need to work for it; If you cast a spell for a job, you also better be turning in that application and resume along with it ~! A spell can increase your chance, luck, and appeal, but it cannot contact your employer and set up an interview. 

(A break-off from the above reason) Your conditions just don’t allow the magick to materialize easily. This is the most possible to happen in weather spells, such as those to bring heavy rain to a dry climate area, or magick for something that your life/area just cannot manifest. For example, imagine somebody trying to cast a spell to ‘make one of their friends fall in love with them’ whilst having not a single friend in their life; the spell is incapable of materializing, because their are no variables for it to work with! It is a sad thing to think about, certainly, but this example shows how casting a spell that is wrong for your life situation can cause it to work improperly or not at all. (Tip: This person should have cast a spell for new friends first! This also shows how you may be casting spells that are wrong for the situation) 

Your wording was not the best. Similar to how people will often word things in a positive or future-tense manner (EX: ‘I AM BRAVE’ / rather than ‘I WILL BE BRAVE’) during spellwork or how in some fairytales the genie will grant a wish in a horrible way according to the wording of a wish, you must be careful to be clear and concise in what you’re wanting! Stay away from vague or general wording; You’ll wish you had when you try to cast a spell for a person to love you romantically, and later find that they love you like a sibling or best friend ~ 

You forgot to/incorrectly grounded after a spell. Grounding is not only important to maintain your own energies, but it is also a good tool for assuring that the energies of your spell don’t simply go on floating ‘up in the clouds’, failing to come down to earth and manifest! Grounding after a spell also increases the chances that it will work faster. 

Your focus/energy was off during the spell. Common for those with a low rate of focus, who’s mind wanders easily, or with low/confidence and doubt (which can especially put off your energies) you might have broken the intent of the spell while casting it. Not to worry, for spells can be re-cast and focus can be sharpened, but be sure to have a strong mind when performing visualization or transferring your intent into a spell! This can lead to a spell manifesting in a different way than you intended (which may not always be a bad thing) or just all-together not working.

(For people-directed magick) The person on the other end of your spell has a protection ward. If you’re simply trying as hard as you can to curse, heal, bless, cast upon another witch without their knowledge, there’s a chance that they have up some magickal barriers of their own. Be cautious with curses on other witches especially, since there are wards to reflect curses back upon the sender, and you never know! This can also be so if you are casting magick upon somebody to improve an aspect of their life; they may unknowingly be mentally/spiritually guarding, or ‘closing’ their energy, making it difficult for the magick to attach to them. 

Further tip: Have patience! Some spells take a while to manifest or come to be, and if you’re becoming discouraged after them not working within a week, you need to have a bit of patience.

Keep in mind that these are things anybody can do without knowing; they do not at all make you a bad or incapable witch, but it is important to know and accept why they may not be working. I hope for those that experience it, these reasons can provide some insight ~ This post was inspired by all of the anons who have been asking this question frequently
