Samhain Grimoire

Hi everyone, I started my new job and I'm moving at the same time. I have been BUSY. I promise I am not abandoning my blogs, I am just taking a step back for a moment to get my life organized so I can put out the best possible information for you all. I hope to be back soon!

Some tag users were saying they wish people would ask them about their practice, and we could use a little spring joy. So here's a little ask game for all of the tag members and all of the other witches out there. Send emojis to ask questions, or send a question of your own. Remember to keep the game going by sending asks to the person you reblogged from.

🌿 What is your "witchcraft origin story"? 🍃 What were your first magical influences vs your influences now? 🧭 If your personal practice had its own unique craft/tradition name, what would it be? 🪶 What specific tradition(s) (if any) do you follow? If you're more eclectic, explain how you put it all together, 🕯️ What does a day-in-the-life look like in your practice? 🧰 What type of workings do you do most frequently? 🌙 What tools do you use the most? 🕊️ What animals and land features do you most often use in your practice and how? 🧠 Do you prefer to do divination with tools or with the inner sense? What are your preferred methods? 🔄 What’s something you believe about magic that’s changed over time? ✨Are you a mundane before magic, mundane beside magic, or magic first type of practitioner? 🌧️ What has been your greatest challenge within your practice? 📚 What magical books are you currently reading / did you last read? 🌱 What is something you are learning, exploring or improving in your magical craft? 💖 What about your practice brings you the most joy?

Bonus:

Send 🔮 for a simple divination reading

for witches, wanderers, and the quietly curious

Speak softly. The dead do not sleep, but they listen.

Never walk directly over a grave. Circle around with respect.

Leave offerings only if they are natural: flowers, stones, a whispered prayer.

Ask for permission before taking anything — even a leaf, even a photograph.

Do not bring loud music, disrespect, or ego. You are a guest.

Coins on tombstones are for the dead, not souvenirs.

If you cry, do it freely. Spirits understand grief.

Do not perform magic on a grave unless explicitly invited — by the spirit or by blood.

Never disturb animal life. Cats and crows are guardians here.

When you leave, turn back once and thank the cemetery for having you.

Sigils

Sigils are one of the most flexible and personal forms of magic. They don’t require tools, fancy setups, or long rituals - just intention and creativity.

At their core, sigils are symbols created to hold a specific purpose or desire. They work because you made them - not because they follow a strict rulebook.

What is a Sigil?

A sigil is a visual symbol that represents an intention. That intention might be:

protection

confidence

calm

focus

boundaries

self-love

Once created, the sigil becomes a kind of anchor - something your mind and energy can return to.

Creating & Activating a Sigil

There are many ways to make sigils, but you don’t need to overthink it. A common, beginner-friendly method:

Write your intention clearly (e.g. "I am safe in my home")

Remove repeated letters

Rearrange what’s left into a symbol that feels right to you

It just has to feel intentional.

But you can also draw shapes intuitively, combine symbols or lines, just let your hand move without planning. Your intuition counts.

Activation simply means giving the sigil your attention and intention. This can be done by:

focusing on it for a few moments

tracing it with your finger

using sound, breath, or candlelight

placing it somewhere meaningful

Activation doesn’t need drama. Quiet focus is enough.

This is going to be another long post but here are various basic magick oil recipes based on various traditions, including hoodoo, witchcraft, ceremonial magick, and chaos magick. These oils can be used for anointing candles, tools, sigils, spells, and personal empowerment. Keep in mind these are simple recipes that reflect the necessary ingredients needed. So, do your own research, experiment, and create your own powerful recipes over time.

I do recognize some well known oils are not on my list and I plan to add more here in the future. If you have a request for an oil, just comment or DM me. 🖤
