A fond childhood memory

An item from nature

A sachet or container to hold the item

A candle (green or white)

The Minuet of Forest to listen to

Plants, crystals, etc. that represent high energy

crystal examples: carnelian, citrine, tiger’s eye

Instructions:

Cleanse your space, light the candle

Play the song

Place the item in your hands and meditate in front of the candle

Think of the memory, the one that makes you smile and laugh

Imagine that same feeling lighting up in you, the forest gives you its playful energy to take on the day

“... creeping slowly up the wall, the shadow usul did not make a sound.“ - Gallery of Evil Neopets

A shadow glamour to help the user go about unseen at night, especially for those who need to walk home or take public transportation during night time hours. Note: this is no replacement for self defense items and a cell phone. This is merely to be added to your nighttime arsenal. 

You Will Need:

🌒 A black Marker

🌒 A sachet preferably black (make sure its not porous - powdered herbs will be inside)

🌒 Ground Chicory (chicory coffee is a good substitute!)

🌒 Poppy Seeds (if possible)

🌒 Black Pepper

🌒 Sea Salt

🌒 Ash or Charcoal

🌒 Dried Bay Leaf

Set Up:

Make sure you have all of your ingredients gathered or as much of it as you can, some can be hard to come by. If needed search substitutions for those you need. Have a sigil in mind for the spell - it should be one of either invisibility or protection. Or one of each! Clear and cleanse your work space before you start your spellwork.

The Spell:

🌒 In your sachet add your chicory, poppy seeds, black pepper, sea salt and ash/charcoal. Make sure the sachet is not leaking or spilling, you want a durable fabric if possible.

🌒 On your bay leaf write your sigils using your black marker - if using two sigils write one on one side and the other upon the other side.

🌒 Take your bay leaf and hold it in your hands, careful not to crush it quite yet. Use your visualization skills and energy to put your intent into this sigil and the leaf itself. You want to go unnoticed and be protected while out at night so put that desire, visualization and energy into it.

🌒 Once satisfied place it into the sachet and pull/tie it shut. Once shut crush it a bit in your hand to get the energy ‘flowing’ in it to both activate the sigil and mix the contents inside, be careful not to rip the sachet open or spill any contents.

🌒 Carry sachet on your person while out at night 

Aftercare:

Be sure to cleanse your sachet regularly - moonlight is always a good option as well as personal energy cleansing techniques. If you ever fear that it is becoming weak - empty out its contents, cleanse the sachet and repeat the spell above. Sachet should be cleansed every few weeks and the contents replaced every six months or so. This is determined by the amount of use sachet gets.

In case you haven't heard of them, hexipuffs are small hexagons knit on two needles. Technically there’s no reason this idea has to be done in this particular shape, they’re just what sparked the idea in my mind.

What we’re actually making are sachets. The sachets are made with scraps of yarn, and capable of being filled with anything you can think of:

Sigils

Charms

Herbs

Salt

Tea

Wishes

Prayers

You’ll probably want to also fill them with stuffing, but if you want them to remain flat it’s not necessary.

The reason I’ve been toying with making them as hexipuffs, instead of just knitting a cloth and sewing it up is...I suck at sewing. Honestly, it’s bad. The beauty of these is they’re knit tight enough that nothing leaks, and you never need to touch a sewing needle.

They take about 20 min to an hour to make, and are great for when you want to work your intentions into something but have no attention span. (**cough, cough** me.)

But by far my favorite thing about the idea of knitting sachets is the pure endless possibility. 

Using the color and type of yarn as correspondence.

Fitting the size and shape to your particular need. If you wanted to get particularly fancy you could even use multiple types of stitching to make a pattern on it. Or even put a sigil on it.

“These herbs, these stones, this candle and fire; shall bring me strength in these times. Grant me my desire, to be stronger.”

“A Bewitching Beast Digimon that can manipulate wind and whose defining feature is its light pink body. From both its arms it can give rise to vacuum tornadoes.”

An air spell used to create an offense protection barrier around one’s self to keep magickal and supernatural attacks at bay.

You Will Need:

Lavender

Peppermint

Mint

Parsley

Amethyst

Small printed out image of something sharp (razor blade, sword, etc)

White Sachet

Outdoor Space

Wind or a Breeze

Steps:

Print out the small image you would like to use to represent weapons or blades. Cut it down to size so it can fit in the sachet. Small toy swords or cocktail swords can also work but can still be pokey.

While still indoors fill your sachet with the herbs, image, and amethyst before tying it shut

Go outside to the area designated for your spell and face the way the breeze or wind is coming from

Hold the sachet in both of your hands close to your chest and close you eyes feeling the energy and movement of the wind

Focus on your intent to bring yourself offensive protection. In this case if needed be more specific such as ‘protection from magickal attacks” or ‘protection from baneful spirits’ etc. 

Once your intent is clear visualize the wind that you feel on your face swirling around you and your sachet like a tornado, you are safe inside. Any darkness or threats that come near it cut cut by the winds and warded off from getting near to you. Visualize this until you feel that protective energy about you and visualize it anchored to your sachet.

Once satisfied close the spell as you see fit
