#grounding magic

I'm so pissed off. Aren't you? I'm so angry. I want to help those I can't reach and I want to hurt those I can't touch. I try to do my part. I cry. I'm so fucking frustrated and numb at the same time.

I use this spell for when I want to rip out my hair and scream into the void. When watching a video on my phone makes me want to vomit from the injustice.

This spell won't fix the world. But it will help you release the paralysis so you can actually DO something (or rest without guilt).

What you need:

Salt

A candle (any candle)

Paper + pen

Your breath

The spell:

1. Light the candle. Say: "I acknowledge what I cannot control."

2. Write down what's making you feel helpless. The news. The state of the world. The thing you can't fix. Whatever's crushing you. Be specific.

3. Read it out loud. Let yourself feel the weight of it. Don't rush past this part.

4. Say: "I cannot carry the entire world. But I can carry my part."

5. Pour salt in a circle around the candle. This is your boundary. Inside the circle: what you can actually do. Outside: what you have to release because it's not yours to fix.

6. Ask yourself: "What is ONE thing within my control right now?"

Not "save the world." Not "fix everything."

ONE thing. Text a friend. Donate $5. Rest so you can show up tomorrow. Make dinner. Don't look at your feed for an hour.

7. Write that one thing on the back of the paper.

8. Say: "I release what I cannot hold. I commit to what I can."

9. Fold the paper. Place it inside the salt circle next to the candle.

10. Sit with the candle for 3-5 minutes. Just breathe. Watch the flame. Let the helplessness drain out of you.

11. When you're ready, blow out the candle. Say: "I am not powerless. I am doing what I can."

12. Do the one thing you wrote down. Today or tomorrow. Doesn't matter when. Just do it.

13. Throw away the paper (or burn it if you can do it safely).

14. Sweep up the salt. Throw it away or pour it down the drain. You're releasing the boundary—you don't need to hold it anymore.

The point:

You can't fix everything. You're one person.

But helplessness makes you freeze. And freezing helps no one.

This spell breaks the freeze.

It reminds you: You have agency. You have choice. You can do SOMETHING, even if it's small.

And small things compound.

You don't have to save the world today.

spell jar for grounding and security 🪵🍃

this jar helps to quell emotional turmoil or stressors and help provide a sense of safety <3 its great to keep on your nightstand and i love holding it tight in my hands up to my chest or forehead when i’m overwhelmed :’)

-

what you’ll need;

nutmeg

oregano

chamomile

thyme

tree bark; it’s best to get it from a tree on your property (or an actual safe space if home isn’t a place of comfort for you) any is fine ofc!

-

nutmeg has always has such grounding and comforting energy for me so it felt like the perfect base for this little jar

oregano brings in a sense of comfort and healing, and the chamomile was introduced for obvious reasons

the thyme has similar use as the oregano with more of the healing and calming properties that i find similar to chamomile, i love how these two herbs work together <3

Fulminis/A Grounding Spell

This spell was very much so inspired by the ‘Fulminis’ lightning spell from ‘The Dragon Prince’. I’m still fairly new to making spells so excuse the rough explanation of it and just the choppiness of the description.

Instructions:

Use the symbol in the gif if you can see it well!

Imagine it, trace it in the air, draw it out- anything you need to do to see this symbol

Feel it charge up with the emotion or energy that you want to let go. Feel this symbol take in everything that you want to let out. You can imagine it glowing any color you’d like, but try to imagine it building up like electricity does.

Say, think, or write ‘Fulminis’ and imagine all the energy that this symbol was holding just shoots out and away from you just like electricity. Feel the energy leave you, disappearing into the ground like lightning does.

Super simple. When I first did this, I started to cry. I felt the weight on my shoulders lift up a bit and I let myself cry until I felt better because I did feel some of that heaviness and sadness leave me. This spell is just something quick and simple to do when you have too much of something building up and need a quick outlet. It helps get this energy out, and like lightning down, it’ll find its way to the ground to neutralize or stabilize- so it’s a great grounding spell!

I’m still fairly new to creating spells. Make sure to always exercise cation and safety when casting spells though!

Minute Magic! Busy, overwhelmed, on a tight budget? Use Minute Magic!

We all know witches love glass jars and bottles. But, creating spell jars and burying them outside is not always cost-effective, environmentally friendly, or even safe. Imagine finding a powerful spell jar and opening it... that could go wrong quickly. And if you live in an apartment or dorm, finding somewhere to bury a spell is difficult enough, without having to bury a solid container.

A much more cost-effective container would be a dried corn husk, or a large outer cabbage leaf, or even a non-bleached paper towel. Wrapped around the spell ingredients and tied with cotton string, the spell can be buried and will return to the earth, grounding the magic.
