In traditional English witchcraft a Whitch’s Whisk was set alight and blown out to smoke, just like a sage wand. The whisk is then used to “dance and weave” around the outside of your circle. The intent was to make a boundary for sacred space. The dried blackberry stems are cut and bound together at one end with traditionally red twine for power and protection but you can use any color twine to represent what you need it too. Sometimes the end bound is also covered in a matching colored wax for extra for intent.

The smoke of the whisk was used to exorcise evil entities and negativity, cleanse and consecrate a space, ward off misfortune and banish illnesses from the house and its inhabitants.

A chant which is traditionally associated with blackberries is the following. Chant it three times, knowing that you are invoking the energy of Brigid, the Goddess of Fire, healing and protection along with other things. The same chant is used for healing purposes.

One of the main things I try to strive for as a witch is to be a walking grimoire. I crave information and spreading of information, and that’s what my blog ended up being; a mass of information. I love receiving asks about the Craft, and if I don’t know the answer, I usually try finding the information on my blog, however, tumblr’s search system is whack. Have you ever gone to someone’s blog and searched “spell jar” and end up getting any posts that has the word “spell” in it? Well, it’s frustrating to deal with, SO, I made this ToC to make searching for information a whole lot easier, mainly for myself, but also for any followers!

This is in NO WAY done, I will be frequently be adding posts and more categories, this is just what I’ve got so far (I have a little over 2 years of blogged info I’m tagging). Anyways, enjoy!

✨Use herbs that match your intent for the day in an omelette or scram: basil for harmony and warding, parsley for protection, Rosemary for matters of the heart, etc.

✨Sigil infused Pancakes. This can be done a number of ways. If you’re fancy, you can cook it into the pancake by doing pancake art with the batter in a piping bag, or you can cook it in with chocolate chips or berries. You can also simply do the sigil afterwards with some syrup or other toppings.

✨Enjoy a magical tea with your morning meal. Bonus, read the leaves to see how your day will go, and anything to look forward to or watch out for.

✨Keep something constant in your meal each morning, whether it be making the same order at a coffee shop, or sitting in the same place to eat, and use the familiarity and constance of that to ease stress and bring about stability during the rest of your day

✨Find a food that makes you feel great and use it to aid glamours when you want to feel more beautiful or confident.

✨Do you have a lucky number or number correspondences that match your intention for the day? Try cutting your food into that many pieces, dividing it up into groups of that many pieces, or chewing each bite that many times as you focus on your intention.

✨Use some color magic by choosing brightly colored fruits that match your intention: strawberries for vitality, oranges for self expression, blueberries for tranquility, and so on.

✨Share some food with your deities. It can be easy to rush and get stressed in the morning, but if you can make some time to talk to your deities in the morning, it can really brighten up your day. Offer a little of your food to them as well, if that’s something they like.

✨If you’re someone who likes to make tinctures or other preserves, you could try canning some magical jam and jelly mixtures to use on the daily.

Hello everyone! I thought I’d pen a little post on how to bond with your tarot or oracle cards. I have two tarot decks and one oracle deck and I wanted to give some advice on how to give the best readings.

Night, Cards

One thing that gets you to know the energy of your cards and the cards to get to know your energy is to sleep with them in your bed. Put them beside your pillow or under it and by the time you wake up the next morning, you will have a special connection with your cards. 

I did this recently with my oracle deck, called Literary Witches Oracle, and I woke up the next morning and did a little card pull. I felt so much more connected with them. It felt so different than other readings I’ve done.

Write Down The Meanings 

This is best for tarot decks. Pull out the card and write down first the meaning you feel holding the card and then look up the meaning in a book and write it down too. Having these two meanings will let you feel cards a little more because you used your intuition to get to know your cards.

Read and Read Again

Do readings with your cards. Not just for big life decisions but for little things and little ideas. Your cards want to get to know you just as much as you want to get to know them. Let them understand your heart just as you understand their meanings.

Be Careful

This last one I find is extremely important. Don’t just give others readings willy nilly. Try and be careful who you choose to give readings for. Don’t just give a reading to everyone, try to give them to people who will treat your cards respectfully. The reason I find this so important is because I have given readings to people who don’t respect tarot and it didn’t feel good after. My cards did not feel happy. 

So, with all these tips under your belt let’s hope you can go into learning and reading your cards. The cards are more than just tools but also friends. 

Blessed Be!

DIY Gifts for Your Witchy Friends

You want to get your bffl the perfect magical gift, but you’re no basic witch: you can’t just buy any pack of incense and call it a day! For those of you that want to imbue a little magic into your festive gifting, here’s our list of DIY ideas for the holidays and all year round. 

1.     Perfume. Fragrance is always a great gift option, but why not make it more personal and blend the scent yourself? This is also a great option because it allows you to easily add some magic based on the ingredient correspondences. Try out one of these ideas and then charge your creation under the full moon! 

2.     Black Bath Bomb. We’ve all seen the hypnotizing black bath bomb that took over the internet, but what better way to add extra magical umph then to make it yourself? Give a go at either this recipe or this one for the perfect bath to banish negative energy. Add an essential oil of your choice for even more magic. 

3.     Incense Cones. Just because you’re not buying a pack of incense doesn’t mean you have to forgo the idea entirely. Making incense means more magic when burned then store-bought, and now you can customize it to your receiver’s needs. Use this recipe as a guide but use your own ground herbs to target what this witch needs more of in their life (hint: its probably cleansing!). 

4.     Salve or Balm. Every witch loves a gifted salve because it means they don’t have to make it. These make particularly great gifts for those friends who want something practical and useful in addition to being cute (looking at you, earth signs). A great compilation of recipes can be found here. 

5.     Gem Soap. It looks as pretty as a crystal, but has an everyday use, too! Make a big batch with this recipe to give to all the bath witches in your life and all the witches with the swoon-worthy gem collections. Hell, give them to all the witches in your life because they’re so absolutely adorable! 

6.     Bath Melts. Especially around the holidays, bath melts are great because they deliver much needed moisture to dry, irritated skin. This recipe, made with milk, honey, and almond oil, could easily be charged to attract prosperity and therefore makes a great gift for any struggling witches out there. 

7.     Smoke Cleansing Sticks. This one is for the purist friend who likes the traditional (they probably read all of Cunningham). Why reinvent the wheel when you can just give it a seasonal twist? Personal favorite of this list is the thyme and cinnamon bundle because it just screams holiday energy. 

8.     Reading Runes. While runes are typically inscribed with the Norse alphabet, why not give a version you know they don’t have with a moon phase update? Not only are they the cutest ever, but you can ascribe your own meanings! Note: the original link is under construction but general instruction can be found here.

Get out there. Back a backpack, fill it with water and trinkets and notebooks. Put on your best shoes and go ahead. Go stick your feet in the pond. Pick up cool sticks in the forest and whittle them with open scissors. Pick common flowers and dry them in your room. Tie wool ribbons to trees and write little messages for others to find.  Prowl the streets of your area and pick pebbles out of the cracks in sidewalks. Find coins and bring them home. Look for abandon objects on the subway. Go dumpster diving, find fun free things you’d never expect to own from the trash. Use mud and stones to make tiny houses, use walnut shells as bowls and leave some water for the new inhabitants. Pick up sand from the beach or the desert or the local park and fill a little sack with it. Bury seeds in eggshells under your favorite trees. Get lost in the woods. Be that one person who does weird stuff, collect the words tossed around about you and save them in a paper envelope; they’re yours.

The Witch Bone’s Spell for the Burdened Heart

This spell is for empaths or anyone suffering from depression or just an intense overload of emotion. Rose quartz work excellent with attracting emotion. So by casting our emotions onto the rose quartz, we are asking it to absorb the excess emotion.

What you need:

A rose quartz

A candle

Light the candle and hold the rose quartz in front of you, envision your excess emotion swelling up and let it flow through your fingertips into the rose quartz.

While doing this, chant:

Seize thy sadness

Despair depart

Erase thy pain

From thy heart.

Continue till you have removed it completely. You will feel much better once it’s completed. You can do this spell daily or as much as you need. The rose quartz will need cleansing at least every full moon.

In traditional English witchcraft a Whitch’s Whisk was set alight and blown out to smoke, just like a sage wand. The whisk is then used to “dance and weave” around the outside of your circle. The intent was to make a boundary for sacred space. The dried blackberry stems are cut and bound together at one end with traditionally red twine for power and protection but you can use any color twine to represent what you need it too. Sometimes the end bound is also covered in a matching colored wax for extra for intent.

The smoke of the whisk was used to exorcise evil entities and negativity, cleanse and consecrate a space, ward off misfortune and banish illnesses from the house and its inhabitants.

A chant which is traditionally associated with blackberries is the following. Chant it three times, knowing that you are invoking the energy of Brigid, the Goddess of Fire, healing and protection along with other things. The same chant is used for healing purposes.
