#simple magic

• Lighting a candle while we clean to help purify the space.

• Open a window or two when done to help air out the house and release the bad energy.

• Use scented oils or scented cleaning supplies based on our intentions.

Some examples - Lemon for protection and uplifting energy, Lavender for peace and relaxation, and Orange for joy, happiness, and luck.

Magic doesn't have to be intense and ceremonial performances all the while swinging dull blades around butchering dead and foreign languages. Magic can be walking down the street and humming an Enn or kissing a pendant for good luck. Magic can be pathworking with a graphic novel or talking to the trees for a boost of healthy energy.

It doesn't have to be complicated it just has to be effective. A candle and a chant can be meditative or it can be used to seek communion with your spirit allies. Simple but effective.

Magic isn't about dreaming of casting psi balls like your favorite mutant but putting intention into your psi balls and directing them toward an objective. Magic is about results not daydreaming. It's about connecting with nature and inanimate objects to divine the future, cast spells, and befriend magical creatures.

Chaos magic is not so different then animism, but with a twist. Animism is the belief that all natural objects have spirits and consciousness. Chaos magic can adapt that idea towards the perception that all objects have spirits and consciousness. Properties that come alive to help the sorcerer with casting.

Vampyrism isn't sleeping in coffins, sparkling to attract teenage girls, or Goth hotties summoning the Brides and Bros of Dracula in abandoned castles and graveyards. Vampyrism is just a part of who you are, the hunger and the beast, the solitude of esoteric ponderings, and laughing with friends about mundane nonsense.

Vampyrism can be a philosophical and spiritual path, one taken seriously for self transformation. It can also be a mental or medical need to consume human life force, be it in liquid or energetic form.

Vampyrism is being yourself and accepting a need. Magic is being yourself and engaging with the world to cause willed effects. Live your life and test the bouancy of reality with your proverbial fangs shining in the silver streams of Selene.

One of the greatest witchcraft life hacks known to magickind is the kitchen spice cabinet. You can make a thousand spells just using the same herbs and spices you use for cooking. Yeah, sometimes, you need something a little more difficult to get your hands on, but often, you can find a substitution within the confines of your kitchen.

This is really common advice: Work with what you have. I see more advanced practitioners pointing to the spice aisle all the time.

But I find that we're neglecting something else equally important and useful: the rest of the kitchen.

Why stop at the spice cabinet? Everything in your kitchen, from the tools you cook with to the utensils you eat with to the non-spice/non-herb ingredients in your cabinets and fridge, all of it has purpose. Expand your thinking beyond herbs to food in general. Look to your other shelves, open up your fridge. What do you find, and what can it be used for?
