Charging Your Sigils:

We try to supply as many options on this blog as we can, so we compiled a list of some easy charging methods!

--Visualization: Put your hand(s) onto your sigil and try to visualize a golden glow coming from your palms and into your symbol. Focus your will on the sigil. Optionally, say or think the direct words of your intent.

--Stones: Leave a crystal on top of your sigil for a lengthy bit of time (we usually do about five minutes, but you may want to leave it on longer depending on how much energy you think you need) and just let the stone do all the work. Clear quartz is good for amplifying anything, but you may want to use a spell specific rock that fulfills your desires.

--Crush/Rip it: For sigils that associated with negative or volatile emotions (such as anger, revenge, cursing, etc.) taking your frustration out onto your symbol can put all of that energy into charging it. Rip it up and stuff it in a hex bag, or crumple it up and pitch it in the trash, taking your bad energy with it. When using this charging method, we strongly suggest pairing it with some form of cleansing ritual. (Post coming soon!)

--Set it on Fire!: Put the energy of the flame into your sigil by writing it on a piece of paper and then (safely!) setting it on fire. Options include a metal tin, a fireplace, even just a lighter and a clean expanse of cement.  You can either dump out the ashes or mix them in as an ingredient in a spell.

--Bury it: Doing a protection spell for your home? Want your potted plant to have a boost in energy for healthy growth? Try drawing your sigil on some paper (preferably biodegradable) and bury it under some dirt. The earth will keep the sigil charged.

--Be Creative!: Feel free to combine any of these methods to suit your craft and/or the magic you’re trying to work.

Using Your Sigils:

Just like with charging, there’s more than one way to use your sigils!

--Draw it on your object to enchant it.

--Sew it into a sachet.

--Write it on your hand, wrist, or somewhere under your clothes for a sneakier option.

-- Dress up your dinner dish (or whatever other edibles you put together) with a drizzle of this or a carving of that.

--Burn it, bury it, or break it.

--Anything you can think of!

Alright, that’s all we have on making sigils. If any of you have a specific question, or a vague one, that works too, feel free to leave a message for us. If anything is confusing, we’ll be happy to answer your questions in a private chat session, submit step-by-step videos, or provide a detailed walkthrough for any of the provided sigils on this blog.

What you need:

--A picture/taglock/piece of paper with your target’s name written on it

--A handful of seashells

--Black salt

-- Anything spicy. ex: Chili Powder, Paprika, Black Pepper, you get it.

--A poppet/doll/small stuffed animal

--A jar big enough to fit your poppet inside

--Nails/tacks/needles- anything smallish and sharp, and plenty of them.

--A candle

--A hammer/heavy object that you can bash your seashells and sharp objects with.

--String (preferably black or red but any will do)

--Rubbing alcohol

What to do:

1. Put your taglock into the jar, making sure it is completely at the bottom.

2. Think of all the people your target has hurt/all the things your target has done wrong. For each of these things, focus your anger onto it, then smash one of your seashells. This can be once, ten times, or however many shells you think you need. The more shells, the more wrongdoings the target will be punished for.

3. Take your poppet and the sharp objects, and drive them into it wherever you see fit. (For example, one in the head for the secrets they have kept from you, the mouth for things they’ve said about/to you, the hands for things they’ve done, the feet for lines they’ve crossed, the back for the pressure they’ve put on you, etc.)

4. Stuff the poppet into the jar. Dump the following ingredients on top of your item, what and how much depending on your situation, chanting the following:

-- “< spicy thing >, for how many times your words have burned me.”

-- “Black Salt, for all the negativity you’ve brought with you.”

-- “< sharp thing >, for all the pain you’ve caused me.”

-- “Rubbing Alcohol, for how you’ve drowned me in sorrow.”

5. Next, tie a string around your jar. Wrap it around once, then tie the ends together, then wrap it again, tie another knot, etc.

6. For each knot, think or say the following chant: “Your apologies won’t save you now. Not if you apologize once (tie the first knot), or twice (tie the second knot), or three times (tie the third knot)...”. You should continue until you’ve reached ten knots total.

7. Put the lid, cap, cork, or anything else you’ll be using to seal your jar. Mine didn’t have a lid, so I tied a plastic bag around it instead. Now, drip your candle wax onto the lid, thinking/saying the following: “Now your fate is sealed, and this punishment cannot be undone. You will suffer the way I did for the rest of your life, or until you have learned and corrected what you did wrong.”

8. Bury the jar somewhere, preferably not near your home. There’s a lot of negativity built up in this curse, and it’s best to keep that as far away as possible.

9. Be free of all your pent up anger. When I did this curse, I felt immense happiness and giddiness, along with whole body relaxation and a slightly lower temperature. Make sure to do some cleansing on your space and yourself.

Good luck!

Banishing Banana Bread

Ingredients:

--2 cups flour

--1 tsp baking soda

--1 tsp baking powder

--1/2 cup brown sugar (for happiness)

--1/2 cup white sugar (also for happiness)

--1/2 tsp nutmeg (success, luck)

--1/2 tsp cinnamon (spell power, peace)

--1/4 tsp salt (purification)

--1 tsp vanilla extract (relaxation)

--2 cups overripe bananas (passion, success)

--1/2 cup butter

--2 eggs

--1 tbsp honey (happiness)

--1 cup chopped almonds (healing)

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan.

2. Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and white sugar.

3. Stir in eggs, bananas, nutmeg, cinnamon, chopped almonds, and vanilla extract. Drip the honey in a pentagram to invoke all the elements to pull in the most energy, then stir it into the mixture.

4. Stir the banana mixture into the flour mixture, mixing just enough to moisten it (make sure not to overmix it to keep it nice and fluffy! Lumps are A-OK!).

5. Pour the batter into the loaf pan. Cook for 60 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Let it cool 10 minutes before turning it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
