I was wondering how different I would craft a spell geared towards beginners, intermediate or advanced practioners, this is my first try.

This is geared towards beauty, money and confidence, which is exactly my magical weakpoint, so i'm excited to try different things and see where it will take me.

Before doing any of them, practice the basics of grounding and centering.

Basic Edition (enchanted object)

You'll need:

-a pair of shoes you'll feel confident in (or your feet)

-confettis

-a glass or bottle to contain the confettis

-something to play music with

Steps:

1) Bless the confettis. You can pray over them, tell them affirmations, or put them under the sun or the moon or whatever. There are a billion and one way to bless something.

2) Play the music for the confettis. Tell them to absorb the energy.

3) Pour the confettis on your shoes.

4) Put on the shoes, and when you do, hold up your head high. Feel the power of the shoes run up your legs, your thighs, your spine and cover all of your skin. You are a ten outta ten, now act like it.

Intermediate (Sigil-based ritual)

Take 1 thing that represents beauty, 1 thing that represents money, 1 thing that represents confidence and put them in front of a mirror. Ask them to incarnate each virtue.

Create a triangle and put this sigil in the middle.

Treat yourself, do skincare, drink some wine, relax.

Play the song, and look at yourself while singing the lyrics. Kiss the sigil and consume it: set it on fire, eat it, dance on it. Absorb it in anyway you want.

Advanced (hypersigil style)

Create a space to contain the spell. Can be a tin altar, a bowl, a jar, a satchet. Whatever.

On Monday, invoke Beauty and infuse it into a small object or trinket. Add it onto the spell altar. Offer yourself to be a recipent of Beauty, and spend the whole looking for beauty and honoring it.

On Tuesday, invoke Confidence, infuse it onto an object and add it to the altar. Become a beacon of confidence that encourages others and do not put them down. Honor yourself.

On Wednesday, create your Lambo: your way of coming into the world that is authentic and will carry you until the end. Do a vocal note or write down a whole letter to describe your Lambo and add it to the altar. Honor all the versions of you that took you to where you are right now, and all of the versions that will carry you next.

On Thursday, invoke Abundance, infuse it onto an object and add it to the altar. Do one act of gratitude that makes you acknowledge the abundance already present in your life. Be a blessing to at least one person around you.

On Friday, create a mini-altar for the planet of Venus. You can totally do it with the goddess but I wanted to focus on the planetary magic. Invoke Love, and Pleasure, and connect it with the energies of Abundance, Confidence and Beauty you invoked earlier in the week. Introduce them to each other and to their common goals of helping your Inner Baddie come out. You're ready.

Challenge by @pathandpractice

Banishment is not combat, is not fight against other thing. Banish is end what is not working anymore, endline a energetical circle...

Protection is not a isolated, it is changing with the world with limits, it's preserve your energy.

It is not everything needs to be banished

When to use:

End of magical practical

Changing of cicle

When you think something is 'heavy"

When not use:

A little scary thing

An automatic habit

Not clarity with the motive

To guarantee

Simple forms of banishmnet:

Use the words

You can use a mantra for end the magical rituals and protect or banish

Ex: "This practice is end"

Breathing

You can use in the beginning of the ritual for concentrate better

Symbolic gesture

Organize our space

Simple forms of protection:

Posture

For start a meditation for exemple

Verbal limits

You can say "no"

Symbolous

Magical sigils

Closing routine

End your day

Banishemt and protection don't start outside, they start in the body, in attention and diary choses, quem the limit is clear the necessity of outside intervition decrise.

The mind repare the signs before the body, when the limits is outdated whe have more tension, fading and dificult to end circles. Leasing the body is a act of protection.

Say "no" is a protection habit. End cicles is a protection habit. Organize your inner energy.

Most don’t understand that a malignant spirit is not necessarily a violent entity (though it certainly can be), but usually is a source of negative energy.  To say they have motivations is to presume an uncharacteristic intelligence; most effects are simply due to our shared presence.  Occasionally, the spirit may be sent by someone whom you’ve somehow displeased, or they may latch on to your warmth, or they may haunt your space.  The method behind trapping them, however, is similar (the main difference is how you attract the spirit to the trap, AKA the lure).  You will need the following ingredients:

A container with a lid, preferably sealable (a mason jar works very well)

Clear Quartz, not very large (a little bigger than a quarter)

Black Salt (about 2 cups)

A candle (tea candles work well, small enough to fit within the container)

Black Tourmaline

Sage

A pot filled with water (preferably with a lid), or a bucket

Conditions are ideal with a dusk on a waning gibbous moon, but not necessary.  I’ve found that this makes the luring process easier. 

First, fill the container with half the salt.  Place the quartz down and add the rest of the salt.  There should be some headspace left in the jar, about 1/3 - 1/2 of its total volume. Adjust the amount of salt as needed.  Place the candle into the salt, in the middle of the jar.  Lastly, inscribe on the inside of the lid a sealing sigil.  If the lid is made of metal, this step is done (the metal will create an image of any flux from the sigil, preventing the spirit from breaking it).  If the lid is nonmetallic, inscribe the adjoint of the sigil onto the outside.

Next, we need to lure the spirit into our trap.  The specifics of this step depend on the nature of the spirit.  Some will happily go to the warmth of the candle; others need convincing.  I once had a spirit which was particularly interested in me, so I crafted an effigy of myself which acted as a highly effective lure.  I’ve also had some which were just not interested, and need to be convinced with some myrrh I had spent quite the penny on.  Regardless, be sure to hide yourself during this process, to avoid confusion between the energy coming from you and your trap.  You could hide under a sheet, wear a few Chalcis bands, anoint with the local mud, etc.  Whichever method you choose, light the candle and keep the lid in one hand, while holding the other to the side of the jar to feel for any changes to the quartz.  Therefore, the quartz you use in the trap should be one you’ve spent some time attuning to (making it all the more tragic that it’s lost in the spell).  

Then we wait.  This is the worst part, and why I’d recommend dusk on a waning moon, it usually takes about ten minutes under those conditions.  Otherwise, make sure you’ve had a bathroom break; twice I’ve had to stand still for over five hours.  It’s imperative you remain very still, and stay focused on the quartz. Think of it as your bobber when you’re fishing.  You don’t want to disturb the fish, and when it trips (usually an abrupt change in its tone, a shock, or rapidly decreasing in intensity), close that lid fast.  Let the flame on the candle die out before you move the container.

As soon as that lid’s on, submerge the container in the water.  There should be at least an inch of water on top.  Drop the black tourmaline and sage into the water, and if you have a lid, place it on the pot.  Now that the hard part’s over, leave it to sit for seven nights.  Optionally, at dawn, noon, and dusk it helps to replace the sage and tourmaline.  This process helps the newly trapped spirit subside and mellow, while making it harder for it to escape (which, if your craft isn’t sloppy, it shouldn’t, but it’s better to be safe).

On the seventh dawn, dump the water, toss the sage, recharge the tourmaline and bury that shit somewhere.  The trap isn’t technically inert, but it may as well be so if you wanted to store it in a cupboard or a shed, you could.  Just know that if the container breaks or the lid’s removed, it’ll be free to go on it’s merry way, undoing all your hard work.

As you can see, avoiding malignant spirits is much easier that dealing with them.  “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” -Ben Franklin (I think).

It is only when you become aware of the power available to you that you begin to learn to wield it.
