The cleanest witch! @one-door-down - Tumblr Blog

Welcome to my little corner!

This isn't my first time on Tumblr, nor my first time running a blog like this, but it's been a while.

I'm a very busy, very experienced and very opinionated witch that mostly focuses on the house, practical everyday magic, and folk practices, but I'm also very passionate about art, fashion and architecture. On this blog you will find: recipes, rituals, the occasional journal entry, as well as rambles and pictures I like.

Tag directory: (more to be added)

#folktalk: reblogs

#knock knock!: original posts

#cheat sheets: useful list-type posts

#put in practice: spells or practical tips

#various visages: pictures

Don't hesitate to message me for anything! I will respond at earliest possible convenience.

Most posts on this blog should stay kid-friendly, however as there might be exceptions, I'd like to ask minors not to follow me. Additionally, and this goes without saying, but this is not a safe space for any sort of bigotry, warmongering, or any other nonsense.

Thank you kindly for reading!

Nothing more evil than a man who will indulge your horrible sweet tooth.

#knock knock!#he bought my favourite lemon cakes again... i could cry

Little habits and practices, part two

Sprinkle a bit of cinnamon on your tongue or into your morning cup of coffee or tea, to make your words sharp for the day; and rub a bit of honey on your lips or stir it into your drink to make your words sweet and alluring.

Throw a bit of salt over your shoulder to banish evil, especially if you spill a larger container of salt by accident.

And if you keep spilling food or drinks over and over, either your ancestors or spirits around you are hungry. Make an offering in their name and have a good meal, and give to the poor, to friends or family.

If your sleep is disturbed, move to the other end of the bed so the spirits bothering you will quit.

Especially in early spring when the world is renewed and in a frenzy, wear an article of clothing backwards or flipped inside out; underwear is the most practical option. This will ward you from hexes and jealousy.

Whenever you get together with family, with friends and colleagues, or with a wider community, make a paper chain or other kinds of woven garlands, in the colours whose correspondences fit the occasion, and hang it in your home.

Draw sigils on the containers of your cosmetics, for efficiency.

Make a wish for the first seasonal fruit of the year that you eat, and if possible leave some out for the bees and the birds.

Invite friends and family over whenever you make a new recipe for the first time, or give some of it to the needy.

On sabbaths, solstices and equinoxes, give small presents and treats to the children in your life; and always, on an occasion where presents are exchanged or a grand meal is had, serve the children first.

Gift books in autumn, especially to people younger than you.

Save the candles used at special events to use later, as they carry a special connection to certain places, people or purposes.

Wear matching jewellery with your loved ones, to stay connected. You can also enchant them.

Carry a bit of consecrated oil with you in a tube, or a bit of gauze soaked in the oil in a locket or ring, to use as necessary in your day to day life.

If the air feels wrong, light a match or a candle, put it out, then fumigate the space by circling counterclockwise three times. Finally, open the window to let the wicked energy out.

Cleanse everything you receive from a stranger or relative you're dubious of, first by washing and then by fumigating with rosemary or basil.

Forage for walnuts and hazelnuts in autumn, as they are very good to have in the home to attract abundance. Keep, also, a bit of mixed grains in a jar for the same reason.

At the end of summer, make a wreath from branches of local trees, especially fruiting ones, as well as herbs and grain stalks, and burn it on a pit fire as an offering. Collect the ash and any coals left over to use in spells.

And anything that you wish to be fully cut free from, destroy in a fire. Fire cleanses like nothing else.

When we first met, my fiance was the messy, cluttered one. His bedroom was especially bad, he had old spell jars and wards and hanging charms and general clutter all over the place, it was terrible. Now I see I'm becoming just like him, because I'm laying in bed right now and all I can think is "Hm, I could fit a few more paper stars on the ceiling"

#knock knock!#this is what happens when i lack an occupation. but it's too hot to occupy myself with much of anything!#i'm sweating my heart out over here

*hands gripping the sink* it's all gonna work out it's gonna work. the only thing my life can do is unfold.

#folktalk #and often when something unravels it is to make something new from the thread #you can always rebuild yourself. always

I’ve always drawn out my sigils for each spell or ritual that I do, and lately I’ve been finding that kinda tedious because sometimes I’ll use five or six or more in the same working.

SO I made a bunch of little stones out of air dry clay and painted a sigil on each! I also made a taglock stone for myself that I can just whip out instead of carving my name/birthdate into a candle. The colors all correspond to the sigil meanings 🎨✨

#folktalk #put in practice #i shall have to do this soon #it would be very useful

This blessed June, make it a point to strengthen the women in your life that haven't always been women, and the men that once were, and those who are both and neither. Magic was traditionally relegated to women, so it could more easily be demonised: but we are more than our roots, and no one is excluded from the practice! All are welcome and all are loved, and our sisters especially need the support. You are all seen!

More Traveling Witch Tips

Use suitcase locks for number magic to travel with intention. 5 and 7 are traditionally associated with travel.

Charm luggage tags with intentions or travel blessings. You could create an herbal bath to charm it, or simply draw a sigil on the info card in the luggage tag.

Bring a stone from your home while traveling to ensure you'll always return safely.

Create a servator for travel aid. This can be a short term servator to guide you through your trip, protect you, & can help things "fall into place" for a lucky & enjoyable trip.

Baseball caps are popular in airports for a reason. Veil to protect your energy from others when traveling in large hubs.

Utilize salt packets for warding hotel rooms.

Give a simple yet meaningful offering for the spirits of the land you're traveling on.

Spend a day or activity in devotion to your deities/ancestors/spirit team.

Research local history to better understand the land you're visiting.

Bring along a piece of selenite to put under your pillow to help ease jet lag & potential bad dreams.

Little habits and practices

Greet the trees outside your window in the morning, or the ones you pass on your daily commute. They're your neighbours, after all.

Carry a needle and a bit of thread; especially red wool, as it mends the threads of fate.

Pick snails out of the road and lay them back in the grass.

Move the bodies crushed by the road into the grass as well. You wouldn't want your body to dry out on the asphalt instead of returning to the earth, would you?

Consider composting the organic waste from your household. Use the compost to grow herbs for your craft: they grow wonderfully inside a home and don't take much space or maintenance.

Carry a bit of birdseed or barley for the birds you encounter.

Speak to things as you work: tell your bread dough it will be delicious when you knead it, tell the clothes you're making or mending that they will be long-lived and beautiful.

Tell your sorrows to willow trees, your deep desires to oaks, your plans and achievements to spruces and your gossip to birches.

Especially in summer and autumn, carry satchels with you to collect foraged herbs in. Dry them on your windowsill, spread into a thin and even layer, shuffling them every few days until they've dried completely. Store somewhere dry and steep them into teas over the winter.

Save jars to put preserves in, make jar spells, tinctures or blessed water and oils, but keep only as many as you need. Around the the turn of autumn, give the surplus to friends, family or neighbours, or anyone in need.

If you cannot give away a piece of clothing you no longer want, either because it's damaged or because it won't fit anyone you can give it to, take it apart and either reuse the fabric/thread or give that away. But as much as possible, avoid throwing away perfectly good clothes.

And if you must, leave them near the bins in clean bags for the poor and unhoused to take.

Carry nuts and dried fruit on you to attract abundance and keep you nourished, and offer them generously whenever possible. The more you give, the more comes back to you.

Never return a borrowed dish empty.

Eat boiled barley, cream of wheat, polenta and rice pudding especially around midsummer and going into fall, to honour the grains harvest.

Before you eat an apple, twist the stem and recite the alphabet, one letter for each twist. The letter it breaks off on is the initial of a good friend, so give them a blessing. You can also use this if you suspect someone is speaking ill of you, by first asking the apple to reveal who it is.

In winter, leave citrus and apple peels on your hearth or radiator to dry out, then use in spells.

In spring, leave the hair from your brushes for sparrows and pigeons to use in their nests. As they are homely, gentle-natured birds that live in tight-knit flocks or pair for life, this will come back to you in the form of a bountiful home and a steady, loving life and family.

Greet magpies and crows politely as you pass by, particularly if you only encounter one on its own, to ward against bad luck. They aren't wicked, but they are tricksters and very good at magic themselves, and so a show of respect will both guard you from their offense and call on their favour.

Greet also the storks as they come home, protect their nests from anyone who would disturb them, and compliment their hatchlings.

And when you give a compliment, make a spitting motion twice lest the praise turn into a hex.

It's a lovely little overcast day

james baldwin was so right when he said “the children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality.”

#folktalk

I planned to post to this blog daily, mostly to prove to myself I could be that disciplined lol

But today's been so very busy and so very beautiful that I hardly got to work on any posts or look through any tags. I suppose this is to say, sometimes you ought to go with where the wind takes you. Especially if it's for a stroll in the park on a sunny day!

#knock knock!#I got to pick a few wild herbs and some snail shells at least #and i plan to post about some uses for those soon
