#practical magick

Hope you and your fur babies are doing well this winter.

Can you please suggest me a freezing spell or something like that but without a freezer? I don't have a fridge where I am and I need this one coworker to stay away from me and my projects without souring our relationship.

I am an intermediate practitioner and mostly work with ceremonial and planetary magic, and sometimes, folk magic (not wicca or voodoo, or Celtic though)

Thanks in advance for your time and energy.

May the new year fulfil all your dreams.

Hi, sorry I must have missed this! Happy New Year to you as well.

You have a few options. You could call upon Saturn and ask him to restrict your coworkers actions towards you in this regard. To prevent him from causing you any bother- you could consecrate a candle to Saturn, if you can get a physical link that would be great you could smoke it over some incense whilst you focus and vocalise your intent. You could then carry this with you whilst you work and focus on it if you feel the situation turning that way again.

A signature would work, an item of clothing. Another neat trick is to capture the voice. Jason Miller uses a technique whereby you call to someone and tie a not in the instant that they respond to you- you do this multiple times- I believe 3 or 7 I forget. The knot then becomes associated with the individual and thus a link in itself.

You can also bind him, get a photo and some links if you can, write down the actions that are annoying you, invoke a deity- again Saturn would be fine. Fold the photo with the links three times and wrap around a black cord all whilst focusing on your intentions and stating appropriate words.

Glory unto God the Father, and unto God the Mother, & unto God the Son, as it was, is now, and ever shall be unto the Eon of Eons.

Our Father who art in Heaven hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done. On Earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our Daily Bread,. Forgive us our trespass and smite our trespassers. Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For thine is the Kingdom, the Power, & the Glory, forever. Amen.

St. Cyprian, Patron of Sorcerers and Magicians, I beseech you that you preserve me from all evil intents, arts, and perfidies. May they be full of confusion, those who attempt against my life. May my enemies be confused and scattered to the winds.

Guard my vision and my thoughts that I may understand the secret doctrines without error. Assist me to grow in power and wisdom that I may serve the good of mankind.

Grant me the power to intervene on behalf of those that come to me for help. Assist me in serving those who are bound by hexes, bewitching, and possessed of evil, so that the rabid wolf shall have dominion over them no longer.

Holy St. Cyprian, Mage, Martyr, and Mystic; Theurge, Thaumaturge, and Theophoros; Saint, Sorcerer, and Sage! Pray for us now, and at the hour of our death.

So often I come across people that want to begin practicing witchcraft but they don't know where to start, more specifically how to practice with little to no money. Which really shows how deeply we've gone into the whole "you need lots of money for everything you do" rabbit hole. Just to clarify, I see absolutely nothing wrong with spending as much money as you want on your craft but I personally don't think it should be a prerequisite as to whether you can practice or not. Magick is for everyone, from the person that has a negative balance in their bank account to the person averaging $100,000 or more a year. Below are some super affordable things you can use in your craft that you may already have.

Salt: This is one of those things that can literally be used in so, so, many ways. Salt can be used in a cleansing bath, to anchor your chime or birthday candles in a bowl (be careful with this one and make sure to watch it because if the candle isn't anchored just right it can fall over), to cast a circle (indoors), etc.

Pen & Paper: These two items can be used to make sigils, you can also use a pencil if that's what you have access to. The paper can be an old receipt, a napkin, just something that you are able to write on. Cleanse the pen (or pencil) and paper, either using smoke or with your intent, then write your sigil. This sigil can then be placed wherever you choose, inside of a shoe, your wallet, purse or backpack, your pocket, it's really up to you!

Coffee & Tea: Coffee and tea are not only a wonderful vessel for placing your intention into but coffee can also speed up a spell. You can drink teas that correspond with your intention, they don't have to be fancy teas. You can literally go to the dollar tree and they almost always have a selection of green, black, chamomile, peppermint, and sometimes apple cinnamon tea. Other affordable brands include Carrington Tea, The London Tea Company, and Celestial Seasonings, also check out store branded teas.

Seasonings & Condiments: I'm talking about the ones you might already have in your kitchen. Such as ground cinnamon, dried oregano, vinegar, even seasoned salt, all of these things can be used in your craft in a variety of spells. Even if you don't have access to them yourself and you go to someone's home and they offer you a cup of coffee or tea, when you add any fixings to your cup you can use those as correspondences for your intention. For instance if you add sugar or honey to your coffee, you could then enchant your coffee for having a sweet day as you're stirring it in.

Water: Water is a wonderful holder for intentions, you can get a glass of water and write your intention, a word that embodies your intention, or a sigil onto the glass that you're drinking from. Or just place your intention into the glass.

Ramen: I know this might sound strange but believe it or not, even ramen can be magickal! Ramen is made from wheat flour (I'm not sure if it's all ramen but the affordable ones that come in those little individual packages is made from wheat flour.), which is associated with abundance, prosperity, fertility, friendliness and rebirth.

I hope this gave you some ideas or at the very least showed you that magick is not something exclusive to those that have access to fancy supplies and ingredients. And even things that appear mundane can become magickal in the right hands!

You will need the following items for this spell:

Peppermint

Cinnamon

Lemon verbena

Vervain

Hops

Small draw-string bag

Casting Instructions:

If you find you need a little help in lucid dreaming, or you want to learn the answer to a specific problem, this charm bag is a great tool. It soothes the waking mind and helps your sleeping mind to focus.

Make or buy a small draw-string bag about 1-2 inches deep. Put in a pinch or two of the listed ingredients into it.

During the full moon, put the bag together, then consecrate and charge it. Make certain it is tied tightly. Before sleep each night, rub the bag over your third eye ( center of forehead) and concentrate on the question, problem or situation. Then place the bag under your pillow. Continue to concentrate on the situation as you drift off. When you wake, jot down whatever you remember in your dream journal. Your question should be answered within the first few nights. Remember dreams can be symbolic or literal.

This pouch can also help increase your skill at lucid dreaming, by keeping your mind focused on the fact that you are just dreaming

This Nature Spirit series of sculptural mixed media depictions of the spirits of found objects, crystals, bones, feathers, and more that I feel drawn to create. Each one is a unique piece, and made in communion with the object itself to draw out its likeness and nature, and offer those little spirits to those who are drawn to them. This wand is a one of kind siren spirit, hand sculpted and painted, with a long lock of pink woolen hair and a necklace of real moss and moonstone. Her hair is decorated with white conical seashells, and artificial sea grass wrapped around a beautiful 2" fluorite crystal and a smaller 1 1/2" quartz crystal point, on a naturally shed deer antler handle, and it measures 9 1/2" inches long overall.
