#dorm witch

I've said id do this for like a year but I’m a busy bee so here are Just some practice related tips for anyone in college or apartments or even just small rooms 

Utilize free space, got a windowsill? Empty space on a wall? An unused drawer??? You have space for an altar or shrine or even just a poster/ picture…

(Bottom three are my friend my friends in thier dorm)

2. Altoid altars/ shrines change the game,

apollos altoids altar

3. Low effort devotion activity’s- meditation, listening to music, l perfume either as an air freshener or to wear, reading hymns, Wearing Jewelry, are all low effort ways to do devotional activities

4.Journal, your prayers, how your feels, ritual steps, facts about your god/gods, poems turn it into a scrapbook if you want 

5. Walks (if you can) not only is this good way to be just with your thoughts and connect with your gods and meditate but it’s also good for mental and physical health (witch your gods would approve of)

jars are relatively easy to find, but hard to hide/can take up space/are hard to take along with you. so what i've been doing as a dorm witch takes out the need for a jar.

drip some wax on to a piece of paper with a sigil relating to your intention. sprinkle your herbs into the wax. when it dries, just cut or rip the wax off the paper! this way you have your wax, herbs, and a sigil.

I’m giving y’all an unprompted post and my missing Havamal post because this week has been a mess of sorts.

Such as why I am writing this spell now. Storytime: SKIP TO THE READ BELOW FOR THE SPELL.

Recently I had a visitor. One of those visitors that you don’t really want in your place but you have an obligation to have them there. This person doesn’t really bring good energy into my home and it leaves me in a bad mood after. So I’m writing this spell for those negative energy visitors.

This works best on hard floors to sweep up but I would think carpet and a good vacuum would be good too.

the more i think about it the more i’m excited about italian seasoning, it’s like a pre-ground, pre-mixed set of herbs for attracting good things into your life.

basil- business protection, happiness, love/marriage/money spells, peace, protection. associated with scorpio & fire

marjoram- happiness, health, love, money, protection associated with libra, gemini, virgo & air.

oregano- courage, happiness, moving on/letting go, luck, protection. associated with taurus & air

rosemary- protection from jealousy/gossip, homes blessing, purification. associated with fire, air & leo

thyme- beauty, courage, happiness, healing, protection, restoration, victory spells, cleansing. associated with water, air & cancer

sage- cleansing, purifying, wisdom, good luck. associated with earth, air

think of all the applications for this easy to find seasoning! i know next time i make a pizza i will slow down a little and enchant it to bring good fortune to all those who share the meal with me. i will also take into consideration the cast iron skillet i use and think of the associations with power and protection. i may also grind it down and see how it fares as incense.

there’s magic in everything ✨

there are times where i feel like i HAVE to have the thing but if we just take a second and look around we may already have some of the things we need. as i get ready for mabon instead of harvesting food (i moved so much these past few years i haven’t yet been able to establish a garden) i’m going to take stock of our kitchen and see what tools we already have on hand so i’m only buying what i really need.

this will be good time for some cleaning, self reflection, and a chance to be a little more sustainable since we won’t be over consuming.

also there’s a bulk store in my city and i’m BEYOND excited to shop there more!

supporting local businesses is something very important to me and i’m really grateful that i live in a place that makes it really easy to do.

i know sometimes the magick is in the physical act of grinding or growing or whatever part of the process is important to you but don’t feel bad for using what’s available to you.

I am using this for an extra boost of energy, success, and protection

I used an old led refill jar (inspired by this post)

salt

pepper

cinnamon

nutmeg

rosemary

green tea

This is the first spell I’ve made myself and I am really proud. I am most likely going to charge this in the sun. I will be carrying it around in my backpack so it’ll be with me whenever I leave my dorm.
