Stop using them in teas and salves and skin toner too.

Mass produced roses like the ones we find in grocery stores of flower shops are beautiful! - By design.. And “by design” I mean by chemicals and pesticides. They’ll wreck your skin far more than help (especially if you have sensitivities or allergies[ @ me] ). Make sure ANY flowers or herbs or roots you use are certified for culinary or therapeutic use. Get them from credible places. And use common sense.

•grapeseed oil is best for this but any oil can work just fine

safely practicing your craft is something i don’t see talked about in the community often enough, so i decided to compile a list of some basic safety precautions i think everyone needs to know!

∆ do not leave candles or incense burning unattended

this is something that i’ve made the mistake of doing on more than one occasion. leaving anything burning outside of your attention is incredibly dangerous, and you can risk setting items in the surrounding area on fire. if a spell requires you to let a candle burn itself out, i would recommend using a tealight or even a birthday candle– something small enough to melt down quickly in one sitting.

∆ research properties of crystals and herbs

something that has gained popularity in recent times on witchblr is ‘crystal-infused water’ or ‘crystal elixirs’. while it isn’t really my thing, i thought i would stress how dangerous this can be if you do not do proper research for those who are interested in this practice. many crystals and stones are actually water-soluble, meaning they will dissolve in water and release minerals or elements that are toxic if ingested. as a rule of thumb, crystals that end in -ite are typically water-soluble, but there are others such as turquoise, gypsum, lapis lazuli, tiger eye, cinnabar, and countless more crystals that can cause some serious harm. stay on the safe side and do your research. the same goes for plants and herbs. foxglove, nightshade belladonna, lily of the valley, poinsettia, and mistletoe can all be dangerous with skin contact or ingestion. some herbs are more dangerous in pregnancy, and some are more dangerous to animals. i said it before, and can’t stress it anymore: do your research!

∆ don’t use salt outdoors

this is something people are more aware of within the community, but i think it’s still important to stress, as it is in regard to the safety of the environment. salt is generally pretty terrible for plants and soil. excess salt will kill off plants and cause soil erosion, which can permanently destroy that area of land. however, there are so many alternatives! if you do a bit of digging around, you can find plenty of different options. my personal go-to is eggshells. :)

∆ be careful with essential oils

i think essential oils are fantastic, however there are many ways you could accidentally harm yourself or others through misuse. never ingest essential oils. that’s just a very, very bad idea. you can risk serious damage to your internal organs, which, in general, is not very pleasant. some oils are okay for occasional use on skin, however it is super important that you dilute them with a carrier oil. it is near impossible to dilute essential oils in water due to the very different densities. along with this, for the love of all things good, do NOT use essential oil on your pets. they are not built like humans. what may be okay for us can be potentially harmful to them. even diffusers can cause harm to your pets, so please research what oils are toxic for animals. your furry friends will thank you.

∆ do not abandon actual medical help in favor of herbal remedies

This is a last resort curse for the abused. When you’ve been kind and they used you. When you fought back and they abused you. Well….. Fear and respect have a very simular outcome. So if they can’t respect you as a human being, they should fear you as a primal force in their lives.

What you’ll need -

A dead insect

A dark room

A black candle

A tag lock of the target

MANY optional items depending on the targets fears

Sit in a dark room, let that darkness engulf you.

Light your black candle, it represents the dark as well. This candle is intended to surround the target when they see you, to let them feel lost and helpless. Imagine this. Imagine you and the target are alone in the darkness.

If your taglock is a peice of hair, nail clipping etc then smosh the dead bug and tag lock together. Imagine your target having bugs crawling all over them. Imagine the fear and screams they’ll admit. Put the bug and taglock on top the candle so the wax melts over it.

If your taglock is a picture, then crumble it up with the dead bug inside the crumbled photo. It should give the same effect. In fact, imagine while you crumble that the target feels constricted. Put this in the wax on top the candle.

Sit and imagine the fear you want to inflict upon the target. If you know their fears then use it against them. Use it in your imagination and your spell. If they’re afraid of being buried alive, bury the lit candle in dirt and imagine it being them. If they’re squeamish of blood then drip some of yours on the candle and imagine them being covered in it. etc.

You have many options as to what to say while imaging these things-.

“You will fear me. When you see me, your skin will crawl. Your body will tremble. Your tongue will be tied. Fear will become you, especially when plotting against me. When I glare at you, it will be like looking into the eyes of a hungry wolf. You will fear me.”

OR you can recite “You will fear me too much to abuse me”

Or say nothing. It’s completely up to you.

Either let the candle burn or blow it out. Keep the ball of wax with the taglock if possible.

A basic banishment spell, specifically designed for my fellow menstruating witches.

you will need:

a candle (black works well)

a sigil (I have a sigil wheel you can copy here, click here to learn how to use one)

instructions:

Carve your sigil into the top of the candle. Your sigil can mean anything related to your cramps, such as “health”, “pain”, “ease” or even just “cramps”

Instead of “and so it is” or “so mote it be” feel free to say “and that’s how it be” and if ur feelin a lil spicy go ahead an add on “in this bitch of a life”

For when someone has wronged you and you’re ready to cut them from your life.

💋Gather toilet paper, a pen, lemon juice, and water.

💋Write down their name and how they wronged you on slips of paper.

💋Write down (and speak if you like) what you hope will happen to them.

💋Tear up paper, place at bottom of cup.

💋Add lemon juice “I remove all the sourness you brought to my life and any sourness you would’ve brought in any future”.

💋Add water and stir. “I wash away your ill-affects and ill wishes”.

💋Flush down the toilet.
