Reminder that witchcraft is a skill that you hone. Magic is something that you learn how to feel and use. Some may be born with a hightened sensitivity to energies, but we all need to learn how to use and manipulate those energies. The first time you do a spell or ritual, it might not turn out because you haven’t honed the skills required yet. It’s not just about the theoretical knowledge. There’s a big difference between knowing all the facts and all the information about witchcraft and actually putting it to use.

We all have magic within and around us, and we can all learn how to use it. Be patient, and practice.

When you’re doing ritual magic, or any magic for that reason.don’t be afraid to laugh.

Somethings things are funny! Sometimes you stumble on a word or forget a line. 

Don’t worry about it! Energy doesn’t care if you’re perfect or all-serious-all-the-time! Bring joy and laughter into your practice!

I’ve posted about not being afraid to laugh or bring joy into ritual recently, but I also think it’s important that you can literally use jokes, puns and colloquial sayings in spells/rituals and use them to inspire your magic. 

This is kind of inspired by an episode of the chilling adventures of sabrina when Mrs. Wardwell uses wool yarn as a cloaking spell. The saying ‘pull the wool over their eyes’ was what was used and its awesome that a turn of phrase, when taken a little more literally, is a spell. I’m actually going to write a glamour/cloaking spell (or possibly just an illusion spell) using that same phrase and ingredient. 

And don’t be afraid to use puns as a tool! Do you need a breakthrough in a project or a problem you’re working on solving?? Do something involving a shovel to manifest a ‘breakthrough.’ Do you want to ‘sweep someone off their feet?’ Use a besom. Do you want to use attraction as a curse? Use a moth and a flame.

The possibilities for humour in magic is endless!

Little witch thought of the night:

Visualizing your intent doesn’t have to be just visual. In fact it’s often stronger if you can bring in a certain scent or texture or sound that brings you to the headspace of the intent. Say you’re doing a spell for vitality and health. Sure you can envision a green light flowing through you, but say you also have an aunt or grandma who is just the picture of health and full of life and when you think of her you feel energy, spunk, and health. Maybe she had a certain perfume she wore, maybe she has a favourite flower, and maybe you remember this knit cardigan she wore. When performing this health and vitality spell, it could help personalize and hone your intent to have that perfume handy, use her favourite flower as a spell ingredient and hold or wear a knit cardigan to connect to that energy she had.

Bring in as many senses as you can when performing a spell. If there isn’t a person you can draw from, maybe a smooth stone feels healing/healthy, and ginger might smell like vitality to you.

Tonight as you’re falling asleep, think about an intent that you want to manifest and meditate on all the different things that feel like that energy to you. My intent tonight is a focused thought.

Have a witchy night!

Think about lucid dreaming tonight. Are you interested in it? If you are, you can try it tonight. If not, why not? What do you think of it? Do lucid dreams happen in the astral realm? Are they just the goings on of our own brains?

Duality. It’s probably the most common concept in witchcraft. How do you feel about it? Do you believe that everything has an opposite? That there are feminine and masculine energies and that those are opposites of eachother? Or is this something that you’ve come to believe and work within because it’s so widely taught?
