#spell help

Not for me this time, but for a friend, who tried to do a candle spell for cutting people out of their life. They used two candles sharing a wick and tried to burn them apart, however the two candles melted together.

So as y’all know, the place I live is pretty fucked. Ive been researching protective magic for awhile and ive connected most with sigils. I thought you guys might want to try them out too, especially if your luck is as shitty as mine (its literally not).

Sigils are symbols charged with magikal power- basically a spell in a symbol. I like them because they dont take expensive materials (im a poor bitch), are pretty easy to make, and are mega aesthetic. Most importantly tho, they’re effective. While tons of premade sigils are available online, work that you create is always going to be more powerful in anything youre trying to do. Heres a guide to making your own, original sigil.

Start by writing your intention. This needs to be written positively, without using words like “not” or “won’t”. For example, i want to be protected from the thing in the woods. Instead of writing “I will not be hurt by the great evil”, i wrote “I will be protected from the great evil”.

(srry my hand writing is absolute garbage)

Once youve written your intention, cross out all vowels. This will help us simplify our intention to its simplest form.

Next, cross out all duplicate letters, leaving only one of each.

Now, write down the letters you have left.

We will now break these letters down even further until we are left with only their base symbols. Separate all complex shapes down to lines, curves, and circles.

This looks pretty complicated, but organizing the symbols makes it a lot easier to keep track of all of them.

Now we can begin forming the sigil. Start arranging the symbols in whatever way your mind is calling you. If i stay focused on my intention, my hands just work and seem to know where the shapes fit. If youre having trouble just take a breath. Dont stress. It will work because YOURE making it. The power doesn’t come form the symbol- it comes from YOU. Thats another reason why this is only a baseline. You may feel called to add extra symbols- do it. Trust yourself, the goal is to make something that you feel connected with.

This was my finished sigil. To charge it, it is usually best to make it transform. This symbolizes the transformation between where you are and where you want your intention to lead you. This transformation can be done in a few ways, but is most commonly done by burning or soaking the sigil. Because we’re having a rainstorm tonight, Im leaving mine outside to be soaked. Once it dries in the sunlight I’ll carry what remains of the paper with me. This is just a personal preference because I like having something physical to remind me that the magic is working even if i cant see it. Other options for transformation include:

Burning and scattering the ashes

Writing in soil or sand before a rainstorm and letting it wash the sigil away

Writing it on your hand and letting it naturally fade away

I made my first spell jar! it’s a protection spell. I made it because at first when I started my craft I didn’t think I was needing a protection spell but a few nights ago my boyfriend and I were hearing disembodied voices so... I thought that was a game changer, lmao!

ingredients in jar (bottom up):

chilli flakes

cracked black pepper

black peppercorns

himalayan rock salt

sea salt

white sage (don’t come for me pls! it was a christmas gift that I didn’t want to waste, i understand that white sage is endangered and orchestral to north american indigenous culture!)

rosemary

lavender

bay leaves (with sigils of protection painted on)

burnt thyme (I used to cleanse the ingredients with)

other ingredients for crafting:

lighter

jar and cork of course!

white candle

incense

basalm oil (optional! I just used it bc its almost winter)

citrine

selenite

clear quartz

thyme

salt

procedure:

1. incense and white candle

2. speak to crystals, filling them with your intention (protection!)

3. pass crystals through incense smoke

4. whisper cleansing and protecting thoughts to your salt and sprinkle it around you to cleanse the area

5. add each ingredient respectively, cleansing them with thyme smoke (for purification and warding off negativity), and focus your intent as you add each ingredient (after I finished adding the ingredients I also through in the left over stick of thyme)

6. once all has been added, hold your citrine in one hand (I used my left because the heart is in the left side of your body) and the jar in the other

7. visualize that you’re infusing the jar with the citrine’s energy

8. optional! I kissed the citrine and then the jar all over just for good measure

9. blow a breath of life filled with your intent into the jar and cork it!

10. seal it with the white candle wax and you’re done! I added a single drop of basalm fir oil on the top, for no reason other than the fact that winter is round the corner!

Some limited examples:

The next thing the target eats will taste disgustingly salty

The target will trip on a tree branch or rock within the next hour

The target will misplace their purse and won’t find it until the curse ends
