#garbage witch

Look everyone, in These Trying Times we can't always afford things so we gotta make do with what we got. So here's some hot tips to help you become a garbage witch:

Save and use apple seeds, orange seeds, peach pits, cherry pits, etc. to use in your spells.

Make a spirit board/pendulum board out of an empty cardboard box.

Make drawstring pouches out of old clothes.

Use bag strings for binding magic or use them in small drawstring bags.

Shoelaces and drawstrings from old pajamas or sweatpants are fine for knot magic or turning into drawstrings for pouches.

Save glass jars for spell jars.

Study carrion animals, animals that eat garbage, fungus, and the process of decomposition in general. Learn about the importance of biodiversity, and the hazards of oversterilization.

But also study proper sanitation methods, and be aware of biohazards. Don't go living in a house fulla mold or fish through people's garbage for... uhhh... ummm... taglocks. Don't store chicken bones so they'll rot.

If you have a compost bin, write anything you want to "decompose" out of your life on a banana peel. Put the banana peel in the bin.

Learn how to repair broken stuff. (But also learn what you really shouldn't repair for yourself - EG, microwaves - lest you meet with a horrible fate.)

Make charms/talismans by cutting out pictures of things that correspond with your intent and decoupaging them onto wood, chipboard, or layered cardboard.

Make paper mache diety art/statues out of newspaper.

You "pray" by writing, scribbling, drawing, practice automatic writing, sigil making, etc, and then dedicate the page to your desired entity by anointing it with oil and herbs, sealing it with wax, staining it with coffee or tea, pressing little scraps of things into the hot wax on top of your prayers, etc.

it's basically a practice of free intuition that feels very very good, better for me than sitting in a dark room with a candle and speaking in a formal tone.

Using Candles for Witchcraft & Reminders to Use the Materials Wisely!

As witches, most of us adore candles & using them in our craft. We use them for so many reasons!

Here are how I use my candles:

Warmth, Light, Positivity

Meditation

Bath Magic (in the bathroom / near the tub with me)

Elemental Fire Energy

Offerings of Energy for my Companion Spirit

One thing I learned early on in my love for candles (before I even knew about witchcraft) was what to do with the old glass jars & the residual wax. At the time I did not know how to take care of them properly to not be wasteful.

Thankfully, I Have Learned Better!

I reuse the left over wax to create new recycled candles (for my own use)!

D.W. for today! The Garbage witch returns and is trying to get away with wearing her normal clothes as a costume.. It’s a thing people do! However someone mentioned brooms and she’s become obsessed with flying one one despite never having actually used one before. And she probably stole it.
