It is not my job to fix others.

It is okay if others get angry.

It is okay to say no.

It is not my job to take responsibility for others.

I do not have to anticipate the needs of others.

It is my job to make me happy.

No one has to agree with me.

I have a right to my own feelings.

Ok, TBH I did this on the fly when I got sudden inspiration. This was aimed at an undesirable suitor.

Items:

Black/banishing candle candle (for wax)

Black/banishing ribbon/thread

Paper

Black pen

Name of person 

Spit

Waning moon (optional)**

Somewhere dark to place it

Method

Light candle. On a small piece of paper write the person’s name you want to go away.

Underneath draw an eye, to represent their sight, so to speak (doesn’t have to be pretty or detailed)

Using the pen, black out the eye completely, while saying things like, “ I blacken your vision, you cannot and do not see me, you do not think of me at all. I blind you of my presence, etc.” I made it up as I went.

Spit on the black eye ( if you do it before blacking it out, it will be difficult… I made that mistake)

Fold it up as much you can or want, to seal and trap.

Tie the black ribbon over the folded paper and pour the black candle wax onto it to seal.

This is such an important topic because I feel like so many of us just rush into spirituality and witchcraft and think we can just go forward and do things we aren’t ready for.

Back in 2017 when I first started getting into witchcraft and opening my third eye, I dove in head first. I bought my first Tarot deck, practiced trying to astral project every day, meditated, and boy let me tell you I experienced so many amazing things. But despite the high, I was not protecting myself. I didn’t realize I had to. I didn’t realize I became this beacon that attracted both the good and the bad, and I ended up with a really bad energy or entity attachment.

This entity or whatever it was gave me really awful thoughts that were not myself, trying to tempt me to do awful things to myself and other people. It wasn’t a voice I could audibly hear, but it was very much telepathic. Paired with this was a horrible sinking feeling in my sacral chakra that would sometimes go all the way up to my throat chakra. It made me feel like I was going to be physically sick at night and when I would try to fall back to sleep I would get an electrical surge in my head like nothing I’ve ever felt before that would keep waking me back up. It was awful. I would have eery out of body experiences or maybe they were just visions and they felt really real; of myself walking in darkness and lights flickering around me. I won’t go into all of what happened but it was a lot to process at the time and really scared me. I thought I was borderline experiencing possession. It took a lot of fighting, prayer and begging to my guides and archangels for help, and determination to get through this difficult period in my life. I am free once again and doing things the right way.

I know that was long winded, but I hope by sharing this with you that you will have a better understanding of what it means to dive into spirituality full throttle without taking precautions and protecting yourself. There are dangers, but if done slowly and with protection you can experience the most profound encounters and things you might not have dreamed possible.

So how do you dive into spirituality and witchcraft then you might ask? Slowly and carefully. Educate yourself first and foremost. Use that inspired and motivated energy to watch videos and read books on the topic. Learn how to activate a protective light shield through visualization before ever attempting things like astral projection and even meditation. This will protect you for roughly 12 hours from negative energies and entity influences (I will do a post on light shields soon).

Lastly, if you’re diving into spiritual work it’s so so important to keep your vibration high. What negative entity wants to latch themselves onto a being of love and light? They hate that stuff! That means do not dwell on the negative things in your life. Count your blessings and have an attitude of gratitude. That means no matter what little thing goes right in your day; it could be as simple as someone complimenting you or holding the door open for you, add those things up and feel the joy it brings you. Dwell on those things and release anything negative that happens in your day. Consciously make the decision to pay it no mind. Be thankful for everything you have and do not focus on what you don’t have. Do your shadow work and let go of the pain from your past by confronting it head on or finding a way to release it and forgive those past circumstances. Work on yourself, better yourself, explore yourself, forgive yourself and love yourself. I can genuinely say I love the person I have become since finding spirituality, and I’ve never been able to say that about myself before. It is such a blessing when you feel at peace with yourself. Raising your vibration and finding true, genuine happiness is not an easy task, but it is the most worthwhile thing you will ever accomplish in your life before anything else and once you reach that state of happiness and a high vibration, everything else in your life will start to fall together.

Life is a journey, not a destination. There is never an end point to learning and you should never aspire to reach a certain point and stop learning once you’ve reached it. Just as you should never be in the mindset of “once I get this or that I will finally be happy”. Raising your vibration to happiness is a conscious choice and effort you make through forming new habits and mindsets. It is a process of deprogramming everything you were that did not serve your greatest good.

So enjoy the journey! Dip your toes in different things that feed your passion for learning and experiencing the spiritual side of life - just be sure to do it safely so that you don’t have to experience what I did. You will come to find doing it safely in the end will save you so much time, effort, and pain, but also be the most worthwhile.

Brighid keeps the cows,

And cows are heavy work—

She’s all shoulders, hips, and thighs,

Strong for the lifting.

Her heart remembers the son she keened for,

And so does her belly.

 -

Stretch marks strike across Hera’s skin,

Lightning tattoos,

Fitting symbols of eternal loyalty.

Forever marked a wife, a mother,

Not a marble statue.

- 

On the shores of her birthplace,

Aphrodite comes up dripping,

Breasts heavy, hips rolling like waves.

In Mauritania she overflows:

Fat (no hiding from that word,

No shame)

Cascades from her arms,

Rolls over her middle,

Puckers her thighs.

On every beach she has cellulite—

She is goddess of beauty,

Not goddess of the impossible.

Everywhere, she is adored.

 -

Inanna, Queen of Heaven,

Feels no need to diminish herself

If the wind falls silent, she is listening to you. Speak.

Always whisper.

In case there is a wind swirl carrying autumn leaves, step back. Let her dance. 

Don’t go outside if the wind is howling. The ghosts are passing through. 

She already knows everything about you. Never lie.

You may play the flute.

Listen to storms. Don’t talk. 

She gives life to your words. Make them meaningful. Especially when you talk to her.

If she whispers in your ear, listen closely. It means she trusts you enough to share her secrets. 

Words travel far and fast. Don’t say anything that could awake the spirits. 

She has a strong temperament and gets angry easily. Make sure to always be nice to her, you don’t want to be on her bad side.

If she is talking to thunder, leave them alone. They don’t want you to hear. 

When she greets you with a breeze the following morning, pretend you didn’t hear them. 

A sudden draft is always a bad omen. 

Never, ever, complain about her. She will remember.
