What does enchanting an object means?

When you enchant an object, you put your energy and intent into something, giving it a purpose. It can be anything: protection, attract general love, relaxing or even cursing.

Ideas for a cozy witchy morning! Perfect for secretive witches ✨

Open your windows/curtains and say goodmorning to the sun or admire it and the earth

Write down any dreams you had if you wish to interpret them

Hold any of your crystals, tarot cards, etc to make them feel loved and to get any wonderful energy

If you have a safe space you may pull a tarot card or meditate

Close your eyes in front of a bookshelf, grab a book and open to a random page. Without looking, slide your finger to any spot on the page and read the sentence. Ponder the sentence and apply it to yourself (simple method of divination)

Read your horoscope for the day (there is plenty of apps and websites)

Water any plants or feed any animals in the house and give them some love

Go for a walk if time allows, clear your mind and breathe in fresh, clean energy to uplift you

Light a candle, using any colour/scent that will suit your day

If you drink coffee, add a dash of cinnamon to it or the grinds

If you drink tea, stir it clockwise to promote or counter clockwise to banish

Make breakfast and add special spices to it for certain things

Worship/leave an offering to a deity or perhaps earth itself

If you wear makeup, draw sigils with the foundation or wear a certain colour of lipstick/eyeshadow for its properties

Remind yourself that you are beautiful, and a badass witch ❤️

A spell for when you are losing hope and you want things to get better.

What you need

Something to play music on This song (x) A white candle This sigil (x) Two pieces of paper A pen

What to do

Start playing the song and make sure to put it on repeat. 

Sit somewhere where the sun can touch your face, preferably outside

Stretch out your arms as if you were trying to touch the sun. Take some deep breaths, imagining yourself breathing in the suns energy.

Carve the sigil in your candle, lighting it when you’ve completed it.

On the first piece of paper write down what is no longer serving you and what habits you want to get rid of. 

Carefully burn it in the flame of the candle, taking a deep breath. As you exhale imagine all that energy that is on the piece of paper leaving your body and being burnt in the candle along with the paper.

Next write down what you want to enter your life in place of these things that are no longer serving you. 

Fold the paper and drip some of the wax onto it. Carve the same sigil that was on the candle in the wax. 

Keep the piece of paper somewhere where you will not lose it.

Hey there!

There’s a lot of ways to make that connection stronger, but don’t worry if it isn’t incredibly strong at first! I consider myself to have an incredibly close bond with her, but at first I didn’t even know she was there! It takes time to really start connecting, you have to get used to what their energy and presence feels like in order to know they’re around and like anyone, you have to spend time with them to strengthen it!

Relationships with deities are very personal, everyone is different. However, there are some ways that are pretty broad on the spectrum that help connect you with deities.

- Talk to her! This doesn’t have to be with a pendulum or a prayer or anything big, just talk to her outload or in your head! Talk about whatever you want, how your day was, something you like, but talk to her!

- Give her offerings if you can! This doesn’t have to be things you’ve bought, it could be caring for nature, tending to and taking care of animals, or offering her a prayer or food!

- Read up on her, learn about what she likes, learn about her family! Get to know her like any other friend!

- You can meditate, try to feel her energy and presence and learn what that feels like! You’ll be able to recognize her easier that way!

- Think of her! Notice her presence in little things like the forest, animals, the moon, she’s all around you!

- Use a pendulum or tarot to have deeper conversations! Always make sure to read up on divination like this first so you’re doing it safely! Casting a circle before doing any deep form of communication like pendulum or tarot is very critical in keeping yourself safe and knowing who you’re talking to!

Everyone’s relationship with their deity and patron is different, but don’t be discouraged if the connection doesn’t feel incredibly strong at first. Like any other bond, you have to get to know her! She’s an incredibly caring deity who will push you to do your best and a connection with her is so wonderful to feel and rewarding!

Here’s a beauty enchantment for a hand mirror.  The enchant is designed for that every time you look in the mirror, you obtain a glamour (whether it is to remove blemishes from being seen, to change the way people see you, it can even be used to draw people’s attention to you).

what you’ll need:  beauty water, a hand mirror

procedure:

Make beauty water.  To do this, all you need is a bowl or a sink full of water.  Charge the water with things you find beautiful, be it flowers, sea shells, whatever.  I like to charge it with the energy of Freyja or Aphrodite and add two seashells and some flower petals.

Once you have the water, say the following incantation over the water:  “By the beauty of the Graces and the winds, I enchant this water with beauty.  Let my enchantment be used too (insert purpose here).”  Seal the enchant with either a drop of blood or your own breath.

Next, dip the mirror into the water.  Say “Let the object of desire become enchanted.  Let my reflection be what I wish to see.

The Elements are the forces of Nature and life, and are incorporated into ritual and magick. Every aspect of existence is bound up in Earth, Air, Fire, and Water. And the fifth element which is Spirit (or also deemed Aether), which is present in each of the other four. Each of the four classical Elements is associated with one of the four cardinal directions; North, East, South, and West.

There are also energetic associations, that add great depth to interpretations of how people with different zodiac signs interact with each other, for each sign is associated with an Element, and each Element is different.

More animal symbolism wooooo! This was requested and I’m so sorry it took so long! 

🦋In many cultures butterflies are associated with the soul and may be a sign a deceased loved one wants to contact you 

🦋They are associated with the element of air, representing the mind and mental state

🦋The cycle of the butterfly’s life may represent new beginnings or emerging as a stronger person

🦋They are often associated with joy, happiness, optimism and enjoying the little things in life

🦋I associate butterflies with fairies or pixies, especially pay attention if they come out of no where

Symbolism by Colour:

Red-new love and romance, anger, some cultures associate it with evil

Yellow/Orange- sign of hope and happiness to come, new life, irish folklore says they are the souls of the departed

Green-prosperity, joy, luck, change and growth. 

Blue-finding purpose in your life, wishes coming true and acceptance.

Purple-colour associated with royalty and nobility, spiritual awakening or spirituality, psychic energies and time to reflect. 

For all of my witches out there that are artists or just love art of any kind, here are some things to consider adding to your craft.

Use vine or compressed charcoal dust to make black salt

Use sketchbooks as unique grimoires, book of shadows, book of cosmos, dream journals, etc that allow you to use markers, paints, etc to your heart’s desire

Red liquid ink can substitute for blood

Black liquid ink is good for curses especially for blinding, confusion and chaos

Blue liquid ink can represent water or the ocean 

Yellow liquid ink for divination

Green liquid ink for protection and healing spells

Enchant your calligraphy pens for sigil work to strengthen the sigils you make or spells you write with them

Use doodles of people or how you see a person for taglocks in curses and bindings

Melt crayons for wax seals on jars or other spells by placing them in intense sun or heating them in a wax melter (use caution that you don’t heat them too high)

Melt crayons and mix with coconut oil and olive oil for anointing oil corresponding with the colors you use (also can be used as lipstick if desired)*

Use scrapbooking paper in your grimoire to give it unique and artsy pages

Use your paints to make painted spells. Make a sigil and paint it onto your page or canvas, and based on the sigil’s intent once dried paint over it an image that corresponds with that intent to activate. Hang up in your room or home. Cleanse and charge regularly

Glitter my witches, great for color magic and jar spells (note glitter is not good to be tossed into the environment so please don’t)

Write down a person or ‘force’ in your life you wish to remove and use erasers to erase it away as a simple severing spell

Use your dirty paint water for curses or inspiration spells

Use stickers to seal spell jars 

Unable to burn something in your apartment? Drench it in black ink or paint instead

Use mechanical pencil lead in curses by break it up. very effective for writer’s block and creativity block curses

Bead enthusiasts or jewelry makers, use your beads to make spell/enchanted jewelry based on colors, shapes, and letters used in it for correspondences

Make your own ouija boards, crystal grids, pendulum charts, etc on some matte board or foam board using paints to make unique affordable tools

Use chalk dust for warding and protection spells

Buy chalkboard paint to turn a wall or other object into a chalkboard for sigil use, spell writing, organization, etc

Use those plastic reusable paint containers for small portable spell jars

Sharpies and black markers are good for curses in general

Use your color wheels for divination via colormancy

Use modeling clay or pottery clay to make your own offering bowls, statuettes and poppets for a variety of uses

For a quick and easy black mirror simply paint the back glass of a picture frame with black acrylic paint. It may take several layers

Reuse bottles and cans by painting them up to make them witchy containers for your tools, art supplies and other storage purposes

Make drawings, write poetry, write stories, make pottery, make a painting, etc to make as offerings to deities, fae, spirits, etc. Just be sure not to sign it if it is for fae (your name can give them power of you)

Use glue or tape to seal spells, for binding and for strengthening spells

Use whiteout for banishing and invisibility spells

Use henna, temporary tats or body safe paint for fun body sigils

Save pencil shavings for inspiration and creativity spells

Enchant your art supplies to bring you creativity, focus, motivation and inspiration when you use them

Use your paints to paint rocks colors for easy color magic

Turn your name into a sigil to sign your artwork so people will recognize it as yours (or other such desires)

Use used paint sponges to absorb negativity before throwing away

Mix paint or ink with water to make color potions or spell jars

Collect markers, crayons, colored pencils, pens, highlighters, etc to use for colorful written spells, amplify sigils, and to strengthen spells

Illustrate your grimoire, book of shadows, dream journal, etc with images that you feel are important or doodles to add your own extra touch to the spells and information inside. Make it your own

Paint, draw, or design your desires or wishes and charge the art in the moonlight to help welcome those things into your life. Keep the piece of art in your room or home

Use lines from your written poetry, stories, lyrics, etc as spell incantations or lines when writing spells to make them more personal

Use old sketchbooks, idea notebooks, free write journals, etc for bibliomancy 

Try/Practice automatic writing or drawing for divination and spirit communication

Perfect Bread:

I absolutely love this recipe! The bread is soft, and is perfect for sandwiches, French toast, and pretty much everything you can think of. I don’t want to buy bread from the store ever again!

6 Cups all-purpose flour

2 ½ Cups very warm water

2 Tbsp. Active dry yeast

2 Tbsp. Sugar

1 tsp. Salt

1 Tbsp. Butter

Combine warm water, yeast, and sugar and let sit until the surface is foamy (If it’s doesn’t foam, the yeast doesn’t work).

When yeast is activated, add 3 cups of the flour, the salt, and the butter. Mix until thoroughly combined, about 2 minutes.

Once mixture is smooth, add the remaining 3 cups of flour. I recommend folding the flour in until fairly combined before kneading.

Once combined, knead dough for 6-8 minutes in a stand mixer, or 8-10 minutes by hand.

Form dough into a ball, cover with plastic wrap or a cloth, and let rise for 45 minutes.

Cut dough into 2-3 equal pieces and place into a buttered bread pan, and brush melted butter (or olive oil). Allow to rise in the loaf pans for an additional 10-15 minutes. (🍞 Tip: Use a small knife to make a slit longways across the bread to prevent splitting along the side of the bread.)

Bake bread in a 375°F oven for 30 minutes uncovered, and and additional 10 minutes covered in foil to prevent excess browning.
