A Venusian Witchling's Grimoire

You don’t always need a candle.

Or a crystal.

Or the right moon phase.

You are the spell.

Your breath, your heartbeat, your intention — that’s ancient magic.

When you cry into your tea, when you hum while cleaning, when you light a candle just because it comforts you… you’re casting.

When you daydream about a better life, a softer one, a wilder one — you’re already calling it in.

Not every spell needs incense and Latin.

Some just need your presence. Your truth. Your spark.

Don’t forget that.

🧵🔮If you're gonna put a patch onto something, that's the perfect opportunity to draw some sigils and put them in there, so you carry that energy with you. (This is brilliant if you're in the broom closet or if you simply want a secret magical boost in your clothes.)

What you need:

Sigils and their intention

Cloth to inscript the sigils on (it can be small, I used a piece of ribbon I had lying around)

Pen (I used a classic one, but if you're doing it with white clothes/you're planning on frequently washing the thing, I suggest looking for something unwashable)

Patch (Either with something witchy or whatever type of patch you need to sew atm)

Needle and thread

The thing where you're gonna put your patch (it can be a bag, a jacket, a bedsheet, honestly whatever you want)

Steps:

1- Draw the sigils in the cloth, small enough that they fit behind your patch. Remember your intentions and your purpose.

2- Bless them/Enchant them/Activate them. Whatever you see fit according to your practice and occasion.

3- Half sew the patch, put the sigils in the "pocket" and finish sewing it. It's a great moment to practice mindfulness, put on a meditation. Also, visualize how you infuse the magick and intentions in your project, in your garment where you're doing it, and in your sigils.

Pro tip: put some witchy music on while sewing so you get really inspired.

That's it! You got your own enchanted garment! Enjoy your magic!🌒🌕🌘

A lot of witches will tell new witches (baby witches) that they should start by learning and using protection magic. However, I've started to see a lot of witches say that protection magic is not as important as other witches claim it to be. Saying that they don't have anyone coming after them or an enemy in real life to warrant a spell of protection.

I think this may also be due to how I've not personally come across anyone really explaining why a witch may want to use protection magic all the time.

Now, it is true that there's no need to be paranoid all the time and have protection up 24/7. But here's a list where you may use it, find it useful, or haven't thought protection magic could be included.

An actual person -- This one is obvious, you have an enemy in real life or on the internet and you need protection magic to protect you from their curses.

A malevolant spirit -- They can come from your windows, mirrors (including tv screens, computer screens, and other reflective surfaces maybe), they seep through floor cracks, hanging onto your coats from outside, etc. Just like how you'd use garden gloves to avoid dirt up your nails being trapped there. Protection magic is just like putting on those gloves.

An energy -- Say you have a neighbour who's arguing with someone. They're yelling and screaming and it can be heard through the apartment walls. That negative energy is seeping into your home and your energy. So it may be worth protecting your home and energy from that sour neighbour's energy. (ever been scolded by your mother and your mood is sour? it's kind of like the same here.)

Your own spell -- Now a self-love spell is probably not something you should protect yourself from. But let's say you're doing a curse. It would be a smart idea to make sure you're protected before beginning such a spell. Much like how you'd wear an apron to protect your clothes from stains when cooking food. You may not always spill your food when cooking, but damn it is it annoying when you do and the stain won't wash off. It's the same with a spell.

Unintentionally -- Sometimes things can happen that's out of our control and it's a good idea to be a little prepared. A black cat suddenly running across the street? Bad luck. Someone got jealous when you told them something good? Evil Eye. Think of it as going to the store with an extra bag for your groceries. You may not need it, but isn't it handy when you at one point do need it?

Protection magic doesn't have to be elaborate or grand or be convoluted. Protection magic is powerful but also extremely simple. All you need is a horseshoe above the door, a little talisman in your pocket, a sigil for your car, etc.
